Ch 241 : Awakening the eyes

The temperature in the research institute was a bit low.

Perhaps sensing something, Toneri appeared somewhat nervous.

Makoto reassured him, "Don't be afraid. We're going to transplant eyes for you so that you can see things clearly in the future."

Toneri grabbed the corner of Makoto's clothing with one hand and nodded obediently, "I'm not afraid, Lord Hokage."

Previously, Toneri's body had been examined in the hospital.

He was born without eyes, and part of the nerves in that area was missing.

At the time, Makoto had intended to implant a pair of Byakugan in him but dismissed the idea upon realizing this condition.

That missing nerve seemed to indicate that ordinary eyes were not worthy of Toneri's body.

However, as long as it was part of the human body, it could be modified.

Kabuto conducted another full-body examination on Toneri and confirmed that a comprehensive surgical procedure could restore what he lacked before the eye transplant.

Makoto couldn't help but wonder—could it be that in the original story, Toneri also underwent such a procedure when he received the Tenseigan?

Makoto led Toneri to the pair of Byakugan placed nearby.

"Toneri, can you sense anything?"

Toneri's expression shifted slightly as he reached out toward the glass container holding the Byakugan.

"Eyes," he said.

This scene surprised Kabuto.

Even though they were Byakugan, outside of a human body, they were nothing more than lifeless organs.

Makoto turned to Kabuto and said, "I think this surgery might not be necessary after all."

Makoto then opened the glass container, and the pair of eyes soaked in liquid floated out under his control, slowly drifting toward Toneri.

As the Byakugan approached him, Toneri's body suddenly emitted a green glow.

"It's the ancestral chakra..." Makoto murmured.

This green radiance was chakra, and he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity with it.

Since he also carried Hamura's bloodline, he could sense this connection.

Kabuto, standing nearby, attempted to touch the glow but was repelled by the green chakra, forcing him to take a step back.

The green chakra surrounding Toneri wrapped around the pair of Byakugan, pulling them into his body.

In an instant, Toneri's entire body burst with green light, enveloping a core of pure white.

It resembled flickering green flames, and his entire aura underwent a dramatic transformation.

Tenseigan Chakra Mode…

Makoto watched the scene in awe—this was what he had dreamed of achieving for so long.

At that moment, Toneri suddenly let out a cry of pain.

The green flames surrounding him instantly dispersed into tiny specks of light and vanished.

Toneri collapsed to the ground, clutching his face, breathing sharply, his entire body trembling as if he were enduring immense pain.

Makoto quickly supported him, checking his condition.

However, the pain seemed to be fleeting.

Toneri gasped for breath before slowly looking up at Makoto.

His once pitch-black, empty eye sockets were now filled with strikingly beautiful eyes—an intricate blend of blue and white.

The pupils resembled black holes radiating white light outward, encased in a soft, pale blue glow.

"This is the Tenseigan," Makoto said aloud.

"Lord Hokage..."

Toneri gazed at Makoto intently—this was his first time seeing the world, his first time truly seeing another person.

Makoto couldn't help but smile. "Good boy, good boy."

As he spoke, he suddenly burst into laughter, reaching out to vigorously ruffle Toneri's soft hair.

"What you just experienced was only the awakening of the Tenseigan—it's still adapting to your body. Don't worry, this will happen a few more times, but once the adaptation phase is over, these eyes will be completely yours."

Hearing this, Toneri nodded and then curiously looked around at everything.

Before gaining these eyes, he had been able to "perceive" his surroundings, but that was not true vision.

Now, everything felt completely different.

Makoto then had Kabuto check Toneri's body again.

The results showed that a unique energy in his eyes was blocking the scanning equipment.

However, this wasn't a major issue.

Makoto was certain that Toneri's Tenseigan had fully awakened.

Moreover, he could use cloning technology to replicate Toneri's ancestral chakra and continue producing more Tenseigan.

Makoto didn't keep Toneri in the research facility for too long.

After leaving, he took the boy back home.

The moment they returned, Toneri immediately went looking for Neji.

Neji was equally shocked when he saw Toneri's eyes.

"You… can see now?"

"Mm! Lord Hokage gave me these eyes." Toneri carefully observed Neji's features.

"You look a lot like Lord Hokage."

Neji tilted his head. "He's my father, of course we look alike."

But Toneri asked, "Then why are the corners of Lord Hokage's eyes black?"

Neji explained, "Before my father became Hokage, he was injured on a mission and lost his eyes, so he had to replace them with someone else's."

Toneri was puzzled.

He had only recently learned about the difference between the Byakugan and ordinary eyes.

If Lord Hokage gave him Byakugan, why didn't he get them for himself?

When his father passed away, he hadn't explained much, only telling him to obey the Hokage no matter what.

As for the Tenseigan, he had never even heard of it—his father had only mentioned it a few times in passing.

Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke soon arrived, gathering around Toneri to examine him.

Hinata curiously asked, "You can see now?"

Toneri nodded.

After gaining his sight, he realized that what he had previously thought was "seeing" wasn't the same at all.

Hinata stared into Toneri's eyes and said, "Your eyes are really beautiful."

The word "beautiful" felt a little unfamiliar to Toneri, who had just gained vision.

He only noticed that Naruto and Sasuke's eyes looked different from Neji's and Hinata's.

Neji explained, "Naruto's mom and Sasuke's mom aren't from the Hyuga clan."

Toneri suddenly realized something. "Does Lord Hokage have multiple wives?"

Hinata counted on her fingers. "Mother Ayari, Mother Kushina, Mother Mikoto, and my mother. That makes four."

"What about Miss Natsu?"

"Big Sister Natsu isn't a mother."

"But Miss Natsu is around the same age as Lord Hokage, right? Why do you call her 'Big Sister'?"

Naruto raised his hand and said, "Because Big Sister Natsu doesn't like us calling her 'Auntie.' If we do, she'll beat us up."

Toneri: "..."

In his impression, Hyuga Natsu was a very gentle woman.

Sasuke nodded seriously, "Yeah, and she hits really hard."

Just as Toneri was deep in thought, a sudden sharp pain surged through his eyes.

He instinctively clutched them, groaning in pain.

The other children were startled.

"Toneri, are you okay?"

"Toneri!"

The pain came as quickly as it went.

Toneri gasped for breath, regaining his composure, when a broken voice echoed in his mind.

"Protect… "

"You must protect… Brother…"

The voice seemed to cut off before finishing.

Toneri tried to focus, hoping to hear more, but the voice had disappeared.

When he lifted his head, he met Neji's concerned gaze.

"Toneri, what happened?"

"I… I'm fine. It was just the fetal movement of the eyes."
