Naruto: I'm Really Not an Evil Uchiha!

The Hatake family's swordsmanship was a scroll. If Shimizu chose it, unlike the Fire Body Flicker technique, it couldn't be mastered instantly; it required personal research and practice.

How long it would take to learn, however, was uncertain.

In the simulator, he had sparred with Kakashi multiple times before successfully stealing the technique, proving that it wasn't easy to master.

Moreover, after learning the Hatake family's swordsmanship, the development progress of the Fire Body Flicker would also accelerate significantly, essentially making it a hidden bonus for advancing his Fire Body Flicker research.

"The Hatake family's swordsmanship is tempting, but... Simulator, I choose the Byakugan."

Shimizu opted for a Kekkei Genkai!

Both the Fire Body Flicker and the Hatake family's swordsmanship could be learned through research, requiring at most a year of effort.

But the Byakugan, as a Kekkei Genkai, could only be obtained through transplantation.

For Shimizu to transplant it, he would have to painfully remove one of his Sharingan.

Yet only when both Sharingan were present could the true power of the Sharingan be unleashed—complete mastery of the Susano'o.

Removing one would weaken the Susano'o, and he'd also lose a Mangekyo ability in the process.

[Byakugan has been granted...]

As the mechanical voice faded, Shimizu felt a cool, fluid sensation passing through his eyes.

His pitch-black pupils involuntarily turned scarlet, forming two tomoe.

The two-tomoe Sharingan was something he had unlocked six months after activating the one-tomoe Sharingan, during a simulation reward.

"It's a bit painful..."

Shimizu looked at the environment, now slowed down in his vision, but suddenly everything blurred as if a nearsighted person had removed their glasses. Beyond ten meters, it was impossible to distinguish people from objects.

He couldn't help but lean against the wall, supporting himself to avoid falling.

"Coo, coo!"

A resting white dove noticed Shimizu's discomfort and flapped its wings anxiously in front of him.

It quickly flew under the bed and emerged with a small scroll tied to its foot.

"I'm fine. Don't go out to deliver a message."

Shimizu stopped the dove.

He had trained it to send information automatically if he encountered danger, delivering it to the Uchiha clan for assistance.

"Coo."

The dove stared at Shimizu with concern, its limited intelligence seemingly working overtime.

Its instinct told it to deliver a message when its master was in pain, but now its master was forbidding it.

"I'm just feeling a bit unwell. I'll be fine after a while."

Shimizu's scarlet eyes suddenly began to take on a white hue.

Gradually, the white color grew stronger, competing with the scarlet until the two intertwined.

The scarlet seemed displeased with the intruding white, resisting it fiercely.

The two tomoe spun rapidly, and a new tomoe squeezed out from within.

Three-tomoe Sharingan!

The two colors overlapped and intertwined as if trying to create a new color.

However, something seemed to be missing, and they failed to merge successfully.

The white eventually overwhelmed the scarlet, and when Shimizu looked again, his eyes had turned completely white.

Shimizu's vision penetrated the courtyard wall, spotting Uchiha Tekka passing by.

Uchiha Tekka was happily eating dango, and Shimizu could see the chewed bits of the three-colored dango sliding down his red throat into his stomach.

He could also see the countless vein-like lines running through Uchiha's body—his chakra network!

To perform ninjutsu, a ninja must circulate chakra through this network.

Everyone in this world had a chakra network, akin to naturally existing blood vessels, spread throughout the body with 361 chakra points.

These details, previously invisible, were now displayed before Shimizu's eyes.

"The Byakugan is truly incredible," Shimizu marveled.

With this ability, whether learning medical ninjutsu or treating injuries, the improvement would be immense.

Even the Sharingan, with its powerful insight, could only see the flow of chakra.

It was impossible to observe the human body's structure—only the Byakugan could provide this level of perception.

"Let's test this."

Shimizu attempted to adjust the Byakugan, wondering if he could only see through clothing to the skin.

After experimenting, he realized that no matter what he did, he could only see the inner structure of the body—muscle fibers, bones, nerves, organs, and more.

"In the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, Neji really was a pervert."

In the movie Road to Ninja, Hyuga Neji used the Byakugan to peek at women.

Contrary to Shimizu's expectations, the Byakugan only revealed eerie human anatomy and chakra networks. For Neji to find this intriguing truly made him a brave soul.

Shimizu picked up a mirror. Reflected back at him, his handsome face now featured a pair of pure white eyes.

When he activated his ocular power, the pure white eyes turned scarlet again, adorned with three tomoe.

"Can't use both simultaneously, huh?"

Shimizu deactivated both the Sharingan and Byakugan, returning his eyes to their normal black color.

Earlier, he had clearly felt a tendency for the two powers to merge, as the Byakugan and Sharingan originated from the same source.

Unfortunately, something was missing, preventing their successful fusion.

Still, Shimizu wasn't dissatisfied. If they couldn't fuse at the three-tomoe stage, he'd try with the Mangekyo. If that failed, he'd aim for the Eternal Mangekyo.

There were plenty of options, so Shimizu wasn't in a hurry.

His Sharingan had advanced from two tomoe to three, which was an unexpected bonus.

Shimizu could feel the enhanced ocular power altering his body, increasing his potential and capabilities again.

It was unclear if this was due to the three-tomoe Sharingan or the Byakugan.

Standing inside the eaves, Shimizu noticed that his normal vision had improved. He could now see the detailed veins of a leaf on a distant tree.

"Are you saying Shimizu is coming too?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Sarutobi Asuma, who was standing at the door, and asked in confusion.

"Why are you suddenly inviting us to dinner?"

"Yes, we can go find him now."

"Uh... well..."

Sarutobi Asuma scratched the back of his head. He couldn't very well say that his old man wanted him to test Shimizu's Will of Fire, and that he himself wanted to use this as an excuse to dine with Kurenai Yuhi.

So, he decided to combine both tasks, avoiding any conflict between them.

Seeing Asuma's hesitation and inability to explain, Kurenai chose not to press further.

"I heard Shimizu is applying for graduation."

Memories of her first spar with Uchiha Shimizu flashed in Kurenai's mind.

During that match, she had lost to Shimizu. If she wanted a rematch, she had to wear a pink dress as he requested.

"How embarrassing..."

Kurenai muttered softly to herself.

"Hm? What's embarrassing?"

Sarutobi Asuma vaguely caught her muttering but couldn't make out the words.

"Nothing."

Kurenai shook her head, lost in thought about whether or not she should go.
