Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Given the vastness of the Konoha Forest, my current Byakugan cannot cover the entire area, but I am also very confident that even if it is Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi or a perception-type jonin, their perception range is rarely farther than mine.

After all, among the perception-type ninjas, the visual perception type has the longest ability range, the auditory perception type is slightly worse, and the chakra perception type has an even smaller ability range.

The key factor that determines the range of visual perception type abilities is the strength of the pupils. The Byakugan is already quite capable of increasing pupil strength, and it's all concentrated on perception. Although it doesn't have the same enhancements to illusion ninjutsu as the Sharingan, it excels in specialization, and its pure enhancement of visual perception is superior to the Sharingan.

And I have been practicing the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seals for many years, and the growth and purification of my pupil power has surpassed that of most ninjas. After all, in a world that relies on blood and inheritance, even though the practice method I created is very primitive and simple, it already has a huge advantage over others.

So after we stepped into the Konoha Forest, I began to activate my pupil power, veins bulged at the corners of my eyes, and I opened my Byakugan. In fact, most of the time when I opened my Byakugan, I used its 360-degree surrounding vision and chakra perspective functions. I don't use such simple primitive functions very often.

The world looks different after turning on the Byakugan. If I have to describe it, it's like opening a 3D map. As your sight moves, the fog dissipates to reveal the real scene.

In order to maintain the opening time of my Byakugan to ensure that we can reach the center of the forest where we want to end up, I did not always maintain the maximum field of vision. Instead, I adjusted the range of my vision at any time to ensure that I could discover the situation at the first time without causing excessive consumption of my pupil power.

Even with the size of the Konoha Forest, it wouldn't take long for a ninja to reach the center of the forest by leaping between branches. Moreover, with the speed of the three of us, it wouldn't even take us half an hour if we went at full speed.

Of course, when the place is full of traps and the Root team is hidden in them, they naturally cannot move forward at full speed. Currently, the Root Ninjas are in the dark, but we are also in the dark with respect to the Root Ninjas, so the game between the two sides is even more difficult.

The three of us walked between the branches and trunks for a while, and then I tilted my head slightly, and the scene that just flashed by was captured again by my eyes.

More than a kilometer away from us, we finally found the ninjas who had entered the Konoha Forest. They were the Root hiding in it and several ninjas participating in the Chunin exam.

The characteristics of the Root ninja are very obvious, they wear uniform black tights, dark vests, and white masks on their faces. Unlike the Anbu who mostly wear animal masks, the masks of the Root are strange and varied. However, the masks of this Root team are still very uniform, they are all masks with white stripes.

The one standing on the treetop watching the battle should be the Root team's Jonin captain. Apart from the Konoha Jonin forehead protector, he has no other obvious personal markings. The same goes for the three Chunin team members fighting below.

Surrounded by them were six ninjas taking the test. Judging from their attire and insignia, they were probably civilian ninjas. They entered as a group hoping to pass the test, but they didn't expect to run into the Root team.

I looked at it for a few seconds and then looked away, because the result of the battle had already come out. Although the civilian ninjas had strength close to that of a Chunin, they were no match for the Root ninjas in terms of combat experience and secret ninjutsu. The battle was over before the leading Jonin even made a move.

The six ninjas who took part in the assessment had been knocked to the ground, and some were even seriously injured. Although there would not be casualties like in the Chunin assessment jointly organized by several major ninja villages, injuries were inevitable given the ruthlessness of the Root ninjas.

Here we have to sigh at the gap between civilian ninjas and the ninja families with a legacy. These ninjas with strength close to that of a Chunin could not even last a few rounds against the Root ninjas.

As the two largest families in Konoha, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan, very few of them would join the Anbu and Root which belong to the Hokage faction. This is why Sarutobi Hiruzen prefers Shinichi and me. In addition to our talents, being members of the two largest families in Konoha also plays a big role.

After all, as the heir to the Will of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally wanted to transform his clan into a village, but there were many difficulties in doing so. Needless to say, the Uchiha clan had always been dissatisfied with the Hokage line, and the Konoha Guard, which was mostly composed of Uchiha people, also existed independently of the Hokage.

Although the Hyuga clan is not as incompatible with Konoha as the Uchiha clan, their conservative clan style also makes them relatively independent in Konoha. Although the Hyuga clan's ninjas will participate in Konoha's Jonin and Chunin teams, they rarely join the Anbu directly under the Hokage, let alone the Root who are deeper in the clan.
