Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 244 Roll your eyes, open!

Otsutsuki?
Awoo was taken aback at first. Wasn't the Otsutsuki an alien? But then it suddenly remembered that there was another Otsutsuki that was easily overlooked.

"Holy crap, the Otsutsuki from the artificial moon?!"

Whether in the original work or in derivative worlds, the Sage of Six Paths is clearly more well-known.

In contrast, his younger brother, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, was relatively unknown and little known.

However, this Ōtsutsuki Hamura was the ancestor of the Hyuga clan, a Byakugan lineage.

In order to guard the seal, he led most of his people to migrate to the moon.

So the Byakugan could be Hyuga's, or it could be Otsutsuki's!
The most amazing thing is that all the Otsutsuki on the moon died out in the civil war, leaving only a little kid.

Li Xia's incredibly absurd thinking left Aowu speechless.

From the moment Li Xia saw this main quest, he began to ponder what exactly his so-called identity was.

Being a ninja is a status, selling ramen in a ninja village is a status, and working as a waiter is still a status.

In addition to identity, the level of one's identity must also be judged to determine the subsequent main quests and rewards.

In comparison, the status of a ninja is certainly considered higher than that of a restaurant waiter.

Li Xia was also certain that the Hall of Light had definitely left a path for people to join a ninja village and become a ninja.

Otherwise, it would be a complete fantasy to go from an outsider to a ninja of one of the five great ninja villages in just 20 days.

Unlike regular military units, ninjas are more like special forces, requiring extremely high levels of trust and undergoing rigorous screening.

Just like Li Xia told Aowu before, outside ninjas need the approval of the 'Kage' to join a certain ninja village.

Simply put, the ninja village is a huge military base with living quarters and family quarters!
In this situation, obtaining a high-level identity determination is obviously very difficult.

But what if you weren't an 'outsider' to begin with?

Li Xia naturally thought of this possibility.

Regardless of their strength, the Hyuga clan holds the highest status in Konoha.

They can even bypass villages and engage in diplomacy with other families on their own.

Therefore, Li Xia was certain that once he was 'accepted' by the Hyuga clan, even if it was an acceptance with ulterior motives, he would be able to achieve his goal.

That means you've completed the identity verification process!
"But directly disguising oneself as someone from the Hyuga clan is not feasible."

Li Xia pondered and said, "The Hyuga clan is quite different from the Uchiha clan, who are all simpletons. They are well-versed in the art of self-preservation."

Since its establishment, Konoha has been exceptionally stable, holding a high status yet boasting a large and thriving population.

This also means that the family has a clear lineage and that each person has a record.

In addition to the 'Caged Bird Seal,' the main family has extremely strong control over the branch family and pays great attention to protecting the Byakugan.

To directly impersonate someone from the Hyuga clan would be tantamount to courting death!
Therefore, there has only ever been one answer: that is, the Otsutsuki disguised himself as someone who came to Earth from the Moon.

Unless the Hyuga clan members are idiots, they will bring him back to the clan no matter what.

The next step is to accept this 'poor relative' out of genuine concern or with ulterior motives.

At least the nominal 'recognition' will definitely not be lacking.

This allows them to bypass the restrictions and obtain a highly reliable identity.

This way of thinking is like a thin layer of paper; once you break through it, you'll naturally understand the logic behind it.

But then a new problem arose.

Awoo hesitated and said:

"Isn't it hard to fake the boss rolling his eyes?"

The Byakugan is not simply a 'cataract'; as one of the strongest dojutsu bloodline limits in Naruto, it has a very wide range of abilities.

The supreme eye technique, Tenseigan, is on par with Rinnegan, but even more destructive.

Li Xia smiled and asked, "What's so special about rolling your eyes?"

"After opening the eyes, one gains a 360° field of vision, similar to X-ray vision, allowing one to see the other person's meridians, acupoints, and the flow of chakra."
And it even has a magnification function to see far away?

Awoo carefully recalled the characteristics of the white eyes:
"Oh, the veins around the eye sockets bulge when you open your eyes?"

Li Xia manipulated the true qi within his body, gathering it around his eye sockets.

Under the astonished gazes of Aowu and Heitan, the blood vessels between their eye sockets and temples immediately bulged.

For a martial artist of his level, in addition to true qi, which is an energy that flows within the body...

Achieving this level of sophistication is incredibly easy.

"As for X-ray vision, it allows you to see the opponent's meridians and acupoints from a 360-degree perspective."

Li Xia slowly closed her eyes and then opened them again; the world around her had turned black and white.

Black charcoal and Moriyama, who was rowing the boat outside, had become silhouette-like shapes.

Thin strands of pale blue energy flowed within Moriyama's body. His heart was enveloped in chakra; this was both a critical point and a weakness.

Seeing Li Xia's state, Aowu's eyes lit up, and he said in unison with Li Xia:

"Transparent world!"

Awoo excitedly patted the black charcoal's head with its short paws:
"Wonderful! A transparent world! This makes perfect sense."

"Meow!!!"

Li Xia withdrew from the realm of the Transparent World and jokingly said:

"As for telescopes, that's even simpler."

He pointed to his right eye:

"The Scott Combat Power Tester can also adjust its focus!"

"Boss, how did you come up with this? It's outrageous. How could there be such a coincidence?"

Aowu never imagined there could be such an unconventional method.

Li Xia pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Intuition?"

"intuition?"

His original idea was to find Orochimaru and become a Sound Ninja.

Orochimaru, despite being a 'mad scientist,' is surprisingly a good business partner, perhaps due to the ninja's habit of taking money to do things and complete missions.

Furthermore, Orochimaru allied with the Sand Village and joined the Sand Village under the guise of the Konoha Crush plan.

By completing the mission indirectly, one can at least guarantee obtaining the identity of a ninja.

Until he discovered the wandering ninja, and after obtaining the information, he prepared to kill Moriyama directly.

Looking at the fear and confusion in Senshan's eyes, Li Xia suddenly had a subtle flash of inspiration.

It was very faint, like a fleeting intuition or inspiration.

But Li Xia did not give up on this inspiration, because it was an instinct or a divine thought similar to that of Taoism after the high degree of unity between body and soul.

It is the subconscious and id reminding me that there is a better solution to the current situation.

During a break in the journey, he carefully examined himself.

Li Xia suddenly understood why Moriyama's gaze had made him feel a little strange.

Because he doesn't know who he is, it's that simple.

For him, being an outsider meant that his past was a blank slate.

This is both a disadvantage and an advantage.

"Oh right, Awoo, among the tools we bought before, were there any hair color changing products? I want white ones."

Li Xia looked at her own black hair and asked thoughtfully.

"Absolutely! The latest model!"

After rummaging around for a while, Aowu pulled out a small bottle that looked like a spray bottle.

The tools produced by the staff of the Temple of Light are characterized by their brutal effects. Like these hair dyeing camouflage tools, they work directly on the scalp, absorbing melanin, so even if you shave your head completely, the hair that grows back will be white.

Before the thin film formed by the spray becomes saturated with melanin and loses its effectiveness, it is a flawless disguise.

With a shelf life of up to one month, its effectiveness can be described as top-notch.

In just a short while, his half-length black hair had turned pure white, which matched his white pupils.

There was an unusually mysterious feeling about it.

"It seems like something's missing?"

Li Xia stroked her chin, staring at herself in the mirror.

He snapped his fingers.

"I'm still missing an outfit!"

The clothes Li Xia was wearing looked like a short trench coat.

The pants she wore on her lower body were still the fireproof pants she had bought before.

It wouldn't be out of place in Naruto, but with the hair and pupils, it looks a bit jarring.

Awoo immediately flew out and shouted:

Are there any clothing stores around here?

Moriyama, who had long considered himself a servant and dreamed of one day becoming a retainer, was jolted awake from his dream.

He wiped his drool and nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Long, we'll be passing through a town soon."

We—they—that pack of stray dogs also received our rewards and completed our missions there.

Wow, that's a really fast change of roles.
He burst into laughter.

Just as Moriyama had said, about ten minutes later, they rounded a bend in the mountain valley.

A town suddenly appeared not far away.

The noisy voices seemed to carry from a great distance.

"My lord, we're almost there."

Moriyama put down the oars and bowed respectfully before the cabin, speaking softly.

"Ah."

Li Xia stepped out of the cabin, his white hair and white pupils standing out.

Li Xia seemed to be shining in Moriyama's eyes. He looked at Li Xia, who seemed to have completely changed, and his pupils contracted slightly.

My mouth was agape, and I could feel my heart pounding.

Even if you've never seen the Byakugan, it's one of the two most famous dojutsu (eye techniques) bloodline limits in the ninja world.

How could Moriyama not have heard of him?
Moreover, pure white pupils are simply the best proof of identity.

Are you from the Hyuga clan, sir? Yes, only the noblest and most powerful Hyuga clan in Konoha could cultivate such an outstanding talent as you.

Moriyama screamed inwardly, as if he could see a broad road slowly stretching out before him.

But why did the adult just ask what era he was from?
The question subconsciously surfaced in Moriyama's mind, but he was quickly overwhelmed by fervor.

My fate will be completely rewritten if this noble person says a word!

Even if you can't become a retainer, becoming a Konoha ninja is a huge leap to the top!
Feel the fervor in Moriyama's eyes, like a raging fire.

Li Xia didn't say anything, but continued to maintain her persona, calmly saying:
"Let's go to the clothing store first."

"Yes!"

Moriyama instinctively agreed and was about to lead the way when he suddenly remembered something.

He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

"Sir, would you like to wear a straw hat to cover your face?"

Li Xia's gaze shifted over, and although she didn't say anything, her expression clearly conveyed her doubts.

"Sir, your eyes are too unusual; they might attract the malice of criminals."

Moriyama paused, then hurriedly added:
"I know you are powerful and don't care about such things, but wouldn't it spoil your enjoyment of your trip if those ignorant bandits disturbed you?"

Among the bounties offered in the underground black market, there are several items that are always prominently displayed.

White Eyes is one of them, and its price is outrageously high.

Because the Byakugan in Naruto is like a plug-and-play device, it's something that other ninja villages dream of obtaining.

The Hidden Cloud Village even went so far as to send the commander-in-chief of the ninja forces to infiltrate the Hyuga clan during the important diplomatic moment when the two villages were signing a treaty, in an attempt to kidnap Hinata Hyuga.

Looking at Moriyama, whose face clearly showed 'loyalty', Li Xia shook his head.

Under normal circumstances, Moriyama wouldn't need to offer any suggestions; he would have already pretended to be innocent.

But that won't work now. If we hide ourselves, the subsequent plans won't be able to be implemented.

What Moriyama said will definitely come true, and this is a risk that must be taken to complete the main quest.

How could it be possible that there wouldn't be any accidents and everything would be safe and sound?

"It's alright, I know."

Hearing Li Xia say this, Moriyama, though still worried, showed great obedience.

After bowing again, he consciously walked ahead to lead the way.

While quietly introducing the local customs and culture to Li Xia, she had to be careful with her words, and at the same time, she was on high alert, tightly gripping the kunai in her hand hidden in her sleeve.

Always be ready to demonstrate your 'loyalty' in front of the adults should anyone do anything wrong!
It's remarkable that he could multitask without making a mistake.

Even Awoo couldn't help but say in the team chat:

"Boss, this Moriyama is a real talent, a perfect tool."

"Don't underestimate those who can survive in chaotic times, especially groups like wandering ninjas. Those who survive all have something special about them."

This town called Asakusa is one of the more prosperous towns in the Bird Country.

The Bird Country is a small country, located between the Earth Country and the Wind Country, and not far from the Fire Country.

It's only slightly better than its neighbor, the Land of Rain.

But compared to the impoverished and destitute Land of Rain, the Land of Birds is clearly not doing so well.

The residents in front of me didn't look very well, and most of their clothes were old-fashioned, with very few brightly colored clothes.

On the contrary, places resembling taverns seemed more lively.

The market displays some of the most basic vegetables.

The only things that could be described as vibrant were the children playing in the streets in tattered clothes.

Li Xia appeared to be simply following behind Senshan, but in reality, her attention was entirely focused on her surroundings.

White hair is indeed very eye-catching, although heterochromatic hair is not uncommon in this world.

But such pure white, almost dazzling, white is very rare.

Naturally, many people were immediately drawn to the white hair, and then noticed the same pure white eyes.

A look of astonishment appeared on his face, followed by an eye roll?
No guards, not even a Byakugan wearing a ninja headband?
Soon those astonished gazes turned into a greed that seemed capable of burning people to ashes.

Li Xia noticed that many people were staring at him and leaving quietly with urgency.

Malicious gazes shot towards them like sharp arrows.

Li Xia paused, a hint of coldness in her pure white pupils.

The plan is progressing well.
