Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

The text on the celestial screen began to scroll:

First of all, the Byakugan's strategic value far surpasses that of the Sharingan.

The core ability of the Sharingan lies in enhancing combat prowess.

The white eye represents the pinnacle of battlefield reconnaissance.

The scene cuts in.

Split-screen comparison.

On the left: An Uchiha clansman awakens his Sharingan and engages in a one-on-one battle with an enemy on the battlefield, using genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu in turn.

On the right: A Hyuga clansman activates his Byakugan, stands on high ground, and has a clear view of the enemy's deployment within a radius of several kilometers.

With its omnidirectional visibility capability spanning several kilometers, it can serve as a strategic radar.

[By gaining early insight into the enemy's actions and plans, the overall combat effectiveness of the ninja force is greatly enhanced.]

[This has significant strategic importance for the entire ninja village.]

In terms of insight alone, the Byakugan surpasses the Sharingan.

Hidden Cloud Village.

Raikage Ai nodded.

"Indeed. The role of the white eye in war is decisive."

"Back then, the Hidden Cloud Village spared no expense to obtain a pair of Byakugan because of this."

"Whoever knows where the other side is, how many people they have, and when they will move first has a significant advantage."

The text on the celestial screen continues:

Secondly, the Byakugan is much easier to obtain than the Sharingan.

The scene cuts in.

The scene of the Sharingan awakening flashed by: an Uchiha clansman kneeling before the corpse of his comrade, trembling with pain, the tomoe in his eyes slowly emerging.

The conditions for awakening the Sharingan are extremely stringent.

[This can only be activated after a member of the Uchiha clan experiences intense emotional stimulation.]

[Let alone the Mangekyou Sharingan, even ninjas with three tomoe are few and far between.]

The Byakugan is relatively more common among members of the Hyuga clan.

[No extreme stimulation is needed; simply practicing Gentle Fist will stimulate the chakra in the eyes.]

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki stroked his chin.

"One needs to experience the pain of life and death to open their eyes, while the other is almost born with them."

"The difference in the difficulty of obtaining them is indeed too great."

"If you want to acquire eye techniques in bulk, you should definitely choose the Byakugan."

The curtain continues to fall:

Furthermore, even if a non-human being transplants the Sharingan,

Not only will it be difficult to unleash its full power, but it may also risk excessive chakra depletion.

The screen flashes a scene of Kakashi fighting.

His left eye, Obito's Sharingan, could never be closed.

Chakra is constantly being lost.

[Because the Sharingan isn't original, it can't be turned off.]

The Sharingan constantly consumes chakra.

This will greatly limit a ninja's potential.

Konoha Village.

Kai suddenly realized.

"No wonder Kakashi always looks so weak! It turns out the Sharingan is constantly draining his chakra!"

Asma took a drag of his cigarette.

"I always thought Kakashi was just reading books too late at night."

"It seems that my weakness wasn't caused by my craftsmanship after all."

On the other side, Kakashi subconsciously touched his left eye.

Indeed, this eye cannot be closed, and chakra is constantly being lost.

This is why he is always tired and always runs out of mana.

If Obito is willing to come back...

If he stops being a rogue ninja...

Kakashi remained silent for a moment.

He was determined to return that eye to Obito.

The text on the celestial screen continues:

But the white eye is different.

[Transplantation is relatively simple and doesn't require the complex development process of the Sharingan.]

Furthermore, the Byakugan doesn't consume excessive energy.

[Easy to acquire, low risk of porting, and high strategic value.]

This is why other ninja villages prefer the Byakugan over the Sharingan.

The text on the sky flickered twice, and the discussion about pupil techniques came to an abrupt end, with a new line of text appearing.

[Here's a little-known fact: the villagers had already begun ostracizing Killer Bee before he became a Jinchūriki.]

The entire ninja world fell silent for a second.

[Deidara: Hmm? There's another expert?]

[Hidan: Grandpa, am I seeing things? The villagers of Kumogakure are even worse at bullying than the villagers of Konoha?]

Mei Terumi: Isn't Kumogakure supposed to be a united front? Why are they isolating themselves like this?

The text on the sky continued to scroll.

But to be fair, Killer Bee's mental fortitude is truly remarkable.

Naruto couldn't stand being alone, so he spent his days causing trouble in the village, just to get some attention and make some connections with others.

If Iruka hadn't passed on the Will of Fire to him and helped him set his goal of becoming Hokage, Naruto would have become the greatest demon in the ninja world long ago.

Konoha Village.

Naruto scratched his head and turned to look in the direction of the Ninja Academy.

"What the hell is this 'Demon Orb'... Can you say something I can understand?"

Kakashi put one hand in his pocket and glanced at Naruto's puzzled face.

That kid was really a troublemaker back then, graffitiing on the Hokage Rock every day, just to get people to notice him.

[Gaara, lacking guidance, was bullied to the point that all he could do was kill all day!]

...

[Kankuro: Tenbu's words are a bit too blunt.]

The text on the screen suddenly changed.

But Killer Bee is completely different from them.

[Also ostracized by the villagers and isolated by the entire village, he simply ignored it and didn't care, single-handedly isolating everyone.]

The comment section exploded instantly.

[Onoki, the Two-Scaled Tree: Single-handedly isolating the entire village? What's wrong with this kid's brain?]

[Maki: Our Sunagakure's Jinchuriki were driven mad, but the Kumogakure's Jinchuriki drove the entire village insane?]

[Naruto Uzumaki: You can do that?! Why didn't I think of that back then?!]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Idiot, you can't learn that.]

The celestial display lights up.

[The reason why Killer Bee was bullied is quite simple; I'll tell you a story about a cabinet member who loves to rap.]

[You're a villager from Kumogakure. You don't know anything about tailed beasts, and you don't know that the cabinet member outside who always raps is the current Jinchūriki.]
