Konoha: This Sasuke is not too cold

Standing on the back of the rice ball, the strong wind brought by the flying whistle roared in her ears. Hinata was a little scared and couldn't help but hug Sasuke's waist tightly to seek a sense of security.

"don’t worry"

Sasuke's voice rang in her ears, and Hinata's tense heart relaxed a little, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The rice ball's flying speed slowed down a lot at Sasuke's signal. From a high altitude, the vibrant forest stretched across the land.

Passing through rolling mountains.The water flows in the valley, and occasionally you can see some wild animals drinking water by the river.

“Very beautiful”

Sasuke didn't look back and put a hand on the back of Hinata's hand to make her less nervous.

"Um"

Hinata huddled behind Sasuke, pressed her cheek against Sasuke's back, nodded and responded softly.

Feeling the cold touch on the back of her hand, Hinata's tense heart could not help but relax a little.

"Sasuke-kun"

A soft voice rang in his ears, and Sasuke turned his gaze away from the distance and turned his face slightly.

"I am here"

"Hmm~"

Hinata had a peaceful smile on her face, and her arms around Sasuke couldn't help but tighten.

The speed of the rice balls slowed down a bit, and the wind in her ears was no longer so frantic, which made Hinata feel at ease.

"what?"

"what?"

Suddenly, Hinata and Sasuke couldn't help but exclaimed at the same time.

As he watched, he suddenly felt a strange chakra flashing below him.

To Sasuke, this chakra was unfamiliar, but to Hinata, this chakra was too familiar.

"That person?" Sasuke asked after hearing Hinata's voice.

"Well, it seems that he is still not too far away from Konoha." Hinata frowned, a little worried.

"Really?" Sasuke's eyes flashed and he spread out his knowledge again, but he didn't find anything special.

The perception distance of the underground is limited, and Zetsu's ephemeral technique is indeed very strong, and it restrains the perception ability very much. If the perception of the object is not chakra fluctuations, but objects, it will never be possible to discover this guy. .

"What is his purpose?"

"In other words, what is it about Hinata that makes him care so much?"

Thinking about this problem, Sasuke ordered the rice ball to patrol back and forth over the forest several times. After still receiving nothing, he turned and left.

"Hinata, do you feel any special changes in yourself recently?"

After thinking for a long time, Sasuke couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked.

"Change..."

Hinata thought for a moment, and then said uncertainly.

"Since the combination of chakra and haki, my eyes seem to have changed a little differently."

"I can feel that it has been absorbing the power from my body, and it seems to be gestating something."

Hinata was not sure of her guess, so she could only tell her feelings truthfully.

"Eyes?" Sasuke was startled, and then some information he had read appeared in his mind.

"Tenseigan?" Sasuke frowned in confusion.

"Tsenseigan? What is that?" Hinata asked curiously, this is a new term.

"Remember the samsara eye I told you about?"

"Well, remember"

"The Rinnegan is the end point of the evolution of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan to its extreme."

"The reincarnated eye is the end point of the evolution of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan to its extreme."

"But the conditions for evolution are very harsh and difficult."

Speaking of this, Sasuke was also a little unsure. In theory, Hinata did not have the conditions to evolve the Tsangikan.

"Is it because of the new power produced by the combination of Haki and Chakra?"

Thinking of this, Sasuke had a glimmer of understanding.

In the final analysis, the essence of bloodline ability evolution still depends on the strength and amount of energy.

Just like the so-called kaleidoscope, it is said that it will be opened when you kill the person closest to you or witness the death of someone close to you.

But that panel has accurately told Sasuke that its essence depends on the strength of mental power.

The real reason should be that witnessing the death of a loved one leads to mental stimulation. At that moment, the mental power reaches a certain threshold and the key to open the kaleidoscope is obtained.

When the mental power drops below that threshold, the kaleidoscope will not disappear, but the side effects of using the kaleidoscope are directly related to the strength of the mental power.

The simplest point is that there is no problem in using the kaleidoscope with substandard mental power, but both consumption and power will be reduced.

The strength of mental power is more determined by physical constitution, so they are closely connected one by one.

As for Hinata's eyes, maybe the same is true.

The conditions for the evolution of the reincarnated eye were ambiguous, and he wasn't very clear about it.

But Sasuke guessed that this was directly related to the new power.

Haki and chakra alone do not have the ability to evolve the Byakugan.

But Haki gave Hinata a stronger physique. As the physique became stronger, the mental power became stronger. The stronger mental power and physical strength caused Hinata's chakra amount to also increase rapidly.

Eventually, these attributes reach the standard of fusion at a certain threshold, resulting in a qualitative change.

And this power of qualitative change may already be the key to unlocking the road to evolution.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter. As for the details, I will explain it to you slowly."

Putting away his complicated thoughts, Sasuke gave serious instructions.

"I understand"

Hinata nodded seriously without retorting.

Seeing this, Sasuke didn't say much. After all, this matter was just his speculation. As for what the situation was, he still needed to study it carefully.

Sasuke suddenly understood why Orochimaru was so enthusiastic about various researches.

The process of pursuing and mastering the truth is really fascinating.

After this small episode, the two of them didn't talk about other topics, and quietly thought about their own concerns.

After more than an hour...

In the distance, the roar of splashing water faintly reached my ears.

Hinata poked her head out from behind Sasuke and looked forward.

Under the sun, the water rushes down from the cliff, splashing white water. On both sides of the huge canyon, two statues of a hundred meters high are facing each other quietly.

The Valley of the End has arrived.
