The Main Family Ninjas should know more about the secret of the Byakugan and the Caged Bird.
This guy doesn't have a low status in the Hyuga Family.
Unlike last time, when I entered that blank mental world of the white creature, Hijin's mental world contained many more things.
Hakushi wandered through this unknown world, and before him stood stone pillars tied with white ropes, blocking the path and allowing him to pass.
"So, there are defensive Jutsus, huh? I knew it wouldn't be this simple. This should be some kind of powerful Sealing Technique."
Hakushi's expression became serious.
The terrifying experience from the last time in that white creature's mental world was still vivid in his mind.
Although the pressure these stone pillars exerted on him wasn't as huge as that of the Sharingan, from his senses, it was still a very powerful Jutsu, and the composition of the Jutsu also differed somewhat from typical Sealing Techniques.
"This is indeed a very challenging task."
Knowing the power level of the Jutsu, Hakushi began to search for its specific structure, looking for weak points to break through.
Hakushi placed his palm on a stone pillar tied with white ropes to sense it.
The Spirit Transformation Jutsu is a very convenient S-Class Secret Ninjutsu, with special and comprehensive functions, especially its wonderful applications on the soul and spirit, covering many aspects.
No matter what, since the Jutsu set in Hijin's mind is based on the spiritual world, Hakushi could use the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to search for weaknesses and find a breach.
"The weakness is here."
Following the sequence, Hakushi quickly untied the white ropes on three stone pillars.
At the same time, the stone pillars blocking the road in front of him shattered instantly, collapsing around him.
"So like this..."
Before he could finish speaking, another large cluster of stone pillars tied with white ropes descended from above, forming a cage around him, binding Hakushi inside.
Cold sweat trickled down Hakushi's forehead.
"Multiple Jutsus, huh? This is a bit tricky..."
Hakushi had no choice but to continue searching for a breach in the Jutsu.
But when he tried to touch these stone pillars to sense them, he found that no matter how he moved forward, he couldn't touch the pillars.
He was clearly walking, and the distance to the pillars didn't change, but the distance seemed endless.
Hakushi paused, realizing that continuing forward would only deplete his spiritual power excessively.
The second Jutsu was obviously more complex than the first.
Hakushi calmed down, carefully observing the surrounding stone pillars, trying to discover something.
After watching for a while, Hakushi found the formation of the stone pillars somewhat familiar.
"This formation is... the Eight Trigrams Diagram?"
Hakushi murmured to himself.
"Infinite and formless, all-encompassing... cracking this will probably be time-consuming..."
Hakushi had no choice but to brace himself and slowly search for the exit.
As time gradually passed.
When the illusory spiritual body returned to his body, Hakushi found that it was already nine o'clock in the evening and felt a hollow hunger caused by excessive hunger.
"Did it take so long?"
He felt he hadn't spent much time in Hyuga Hijin's mental world, but somehow the entire day had passed.
Meanwhile, on the operating table, Hijin's eyes rolled back... his eyes were already white.
But after opening them, visible blood vessels burst in the pure white eyeballs, drool dripped from the corners of his mouth, and there were signs of violent struggle on the operating table.
On the nearby experiment table were dishes that had grown cold, likely brought in by Ruri.
After eating simply, Hakushi had the Earth General take away the plates.
Hakushi had gained a lot from Hyuga Hijin's mental world. After spending a whole day cracking the second existing Jutsu, the path became smooth, and he seamlessly obtained Hijin's various memories.
Among them were secrets about the Caged Bird and the Byakugan that weren't meant to be shared.
And by sensing Hijin's body, Hakushi became fully aware of the differences between the Main Family Byakugan and the Branch Family Byakugan.
The defect present in the Branch Family Byakugan was not evident in the Main Family Byakugan.
And that part of the defect also related to the Caged Bird.
Thanks to this, Hakushi found the 'line' linking the Branch Family Byakugan to the Caged Bird.
It was somewhat similar to defusing a bomb.
Once you cut the wrong line, it'll explode.
"Take him to the Land of Demons. He's of no use here, and take this letter to the Witch of the Land of Demons while you're at it."
Hakushi picked up a sealed letter and had the Earth General carry it and wrap up Hyuga Hijin's body to be sent to the Land of Demons.
"Next, to crack the Caged Bird..."
He conveniently had a piece of material.
On another operating table lay another Hyuga Clan ninja—Hyuga Shingo.
Initially captured by someone Hakushi sent, a Hyuga Branch Family ninja.
His function was to scout the path in place of Ayane.
Hakushi went to the experiment table and started formulating potions.
His initial approach was actually a way to break it, and he already had a complete feasible plan.
The reason he explored Hijin's mental world was merely to confirm this point and to find out the difference between the Branch Family Byakugan and the Main Family Byakugan.
According to Ayane, the Branch Family Byakugan had a blind angle, whereas only the Main Family's Byakugan was flawless and had no blind spots.
The distinction between the Main Family Byakugan and the Branch Family Byakugan lay in the Caged Bird.
The defect in the Branch Family Byakugan was evidently caused by the Caged Bird.
Only by comparing it to the successful example of the Main Family Byakugan could Hakushi accurately identify the 'defect' in the Branch Family Byakugan and then determine what kind of Jutsu and methods should be used to solve it.
