Naruto: My Hiddden Village-Chapter 25: Dojutsu Awakening

Dust swirled around the training ground as Tsubasa called off their taijutsu duel. Ozora lay sprawled on the ground, panting like a fish stranded on land. Sweat drenched his body, his training clothes clinging limply to his skin. It was clear, Ozora had reached his limit.

Tsubasa promptly ended the training. He picked up two water bottles they had brought from home and offered one to his brother. "Here, Nii-san, drink this first."

Ozora accepted the water bottle with trembling hands. He gulped it down greedily, trying to moisten his throat that felt as dry as a desert.

After a few gulps, he was finally able to speak, although his voice still sounded weak and slightly frustrated. "Tsubasa, you're so strong... I can't even touch you," Ozora lamented, acknowledging his younger brother's superiority with a slightly bitter tone.

Tsubasa sat down beside Ozora, patting his shoulder to encourage him. "Don't be so pessimistic, Nii-san," Tsubasa replied encouragingly. "It's because I've been training longer than you. You will definitely become stronger soon too."

He tried to comfort Ozora, although in his heart he knew that the difference in their current strength was not just because of the length of training. There was another, far more significant factor, namely the fact that Tsubasa was a cheater even though he didn't have a system.

However, Ozora also had his own advantages, namely the fact that the body Ozora currently inhabited was a clone with untapped potential that was just beginning to be revealed.

Ozora's yellow-orange-gold eyes, resembling the sharp eyes of a hawk, were his new Dojutsu. This mysterious power had just awakened within him, a surprise that even Tsubasa himself did not expect to happen so quickly.

Actually, it was somewhat inaccurate to say that this Dojutsu belonged entirely to Ozora. This new eye technique was an unexpected side effect of Tsubasa's extensive research when creating the clone body that Ozora now inhabited.

When creating that clone body, Tsubasa had indeed mastered a bit of Yin-Yang Release application, thanks to his in-depth research into the human body and soul.

It was this Yin-Yang Release knowledge that allowed Tsubasa to mix DNA from Madara, Hashirama, Kohaku (leader of the Kongo clan), and a ninja hawk into Ozora's clone body. He was like a mad chef mixing various exotic ingredients to create a new dish that had never existed before.

Ozora's clone body was the only one that survived Tsubasa's various crazy experiments. Initially, he was just idly trying to combine DNA from various sources to see what would happen.

However, after seeing the results, he realized that this body had extraordinary potential. He estimated that this body had the potential to awaken a unique new eye technique, a Dojutsu never recorded in ninja history.

And that prediction proved true when Ozora unknowingly awakened his Dojutsu while evading Tsubasa's attacks in taijutsu training earlier. That moment felt like a dream come true, a culmination of all his efforts and research so far.

Tsubasa, who was sitting resting beside Ozora who was still lying on the grass, seemed to see that this was the perfect time, so he would begin his 'acting' performance.

"Ozora-nii, it seems you have awakened an eye technique!" Tsubasa said, pretending to have just noticed his brother's Dojutsu. He put on a fabricated surprised expression, trying to convince Ozora that this was a surprise to him too.

"Really? How could it be? Does our clan have something like that?" Ozora asked in disbelief. He was genuinely surprised by Tsubasa's acknowledgment.

All this time, he had never heard of any Takagami clan members possessing a Dojutsu. Their clan was better known for wind and lightning element-based ninjutsu, not rare and mysterious eye techniques.

"I don't know if the Takagami clan has this kind of Dojutsu," Tsubasa replied in a mysterious tone. He deliberately made Ozora even more curious. "But when you evaded my attack earlier, your eyes changed color to yellow-orange-gold and looked like hawk eyes." Tsubasa added detailed descriptions to make his story more convincing.

"Did you feel something different at that time?" Tsubasa asked, prompting Ozora to tell about his experience when awakening the Dojutsu. He wanted Ozora himself to realize the changes in himself, not just simply accept his explanation.

"Oh, that's right," Ozora replied, starting to remember the incident earlier. "At that time, the world around me felt a little slower. Did I really awaken an eye technique?" Ozora asked, still hesitant and wanting to make sure.

He felt this was too sudden and illogical. How could he, who was born into a ninja clan considered ordinary, suddenly possess a Dojutsu like some famous ninja clans?

"I'm sure my eyes didn't deceive me," Tsubasa said in a firm tone. "If you really want to be sure, we can train more intensely than before later, and see if those eyes can open again." Tsubasa gave a suggestion that sounded logical and convincing.

He knew that Ozora was the type of person who needed concrete proof to believe something.

Tsubasa gave another suggestion, "Or you can try focusing your chakra on your eyes, who knows that might trigger your Dojutsu to activate again." He gave Ozora initial instructions so that his brother could start trying to control his new Dojutsu.

Tsubasa was truly acting as a 'teacher' guiding his 'student' in understanding this new power.

Tsubasa deliberately hid the fact that Ozora's body was a clone and that the Dojutsu was the result of his experiments. He only wanted Ozora to focus on developing his new powers without being burdened by this complicated truth.

He chose to tell a white lie for Ozora's sake. He wanted his brother to have new hope and purpose in life after experiencing deep trauma, although the most terrible trauma Ozora experienced was already sealed, but some scenes of the clan's destruction were still in Ozora's mind.

By having the Dojutsu, Ozora would have a new identity as a talented ninja, which would help him rebuild his self-confidence and the spirit of his life that had been lost.

After hearing Tsubasa's explanation, Ozora was again enthusiastic about training. He wanted to prove to himself that he had truly awakened the Dojutsu. He started trying various ways to reactivate his Dojutsu.

He focused his chakra on his eyes, trying to remember the sensation when his eyes changed color earlier. Initially, Ozora experienced several failures. His Dojutsu was difficult to reactivate according to his will. However, he did not give up and kept trying.

"Focus your chakra at this point, Nii-san," Tsubasa directed, pointing to Ozora's temple. "Imagine the sensation when your eyes opened earlier, feel the different chakra flow." Tsubasa patiently guided Ozora, giving instructions and encouragement so that his brother would not give up.

Thanks to Tsubasa's guidance and perseverance, Ozora slowly but surely began to understand how his Dojutsu worked. He found the trigger for the Dojutsu activation.

It turned out, the key to activating this Dojutsu was to focus chakra and his emotions on the desire to see more clearly, to see the 'truth' behind the speed of the enemy's movements. It was this focused emotion and chakra that then triggered the change in his eyes.

After several successful attempts, Ozora became more skilled at controlling his Dojutsu. He could activate and deactivate it at will.

Every time this Dojutsu was activated, his yellow-orange-gold eyes radiated a sharp light, giving a majestic and intimidating impression like real hawk eyes. Along with that day's training, Ozora became more accustomed to his Dojutsu. His ability to activate it became faster and more stable.

Ozora realized that the main ability of this Dojutsu at this time was to enhance his visual perception, allowing him to see movements around him become slower.

This "slow motion" effect was very useful in combat. Ozora could easily evade enemy attacks and find gaps to counterattack. He felt like he had 'super eyes' that could see through the illusion of speed.

In addition, Ozora also felt an increase in reflexes and reaction speed when this Dojutsu was activated. He became more agile and responsive to changes in the situation around him. His body moved faster than he had ever imagined, as if there was a hidden force driving him.

Tsubasa observed Ozora's progress with satisfaction. He saw that this Dojutsu had great potential to become Ozora's main strength in the future.

With this Dojutsu, Ozora would not only become a stronger ninja, but also a unique and special ninja. He could not wait to see Ozora develop the full potential of this mysterious Dojutsu.

After successfully mastering the basics of this Dojutsu, Ozora felt increasingly proud and confident with his new power. A wide smile continued to adorn his face, the sparkle in his eyes returned to shine like before. The awakening of this Dojutsu truly gave him new hope.

"Tsubasa, what name do you think is suitable for these eyes?" Ozora asked, asking his younger brother's opinion about naming his new Dojutsu. He felt that name was an important part of the identity of a power, and he wanted to give a proper and meaningful name to his Dojutsu.

Tsubasa thought for a moment, considering the right name for the Dojutsu that resembled hawk eyes. "Maybe you can name it Rettōgan – (Fierce Hawk Eye), Ozora-nii," Tsubasa suggested. He chose a name that sounded majestic and reflected the power and sharpness of hawk eyes.

"Rettōgan – (Fierce Hawk Eye)," Ozora repeated the name, savoring each syllable. He felt the name sounded cool and was very fitting for his Dojutsu. The name had an aura of power and ferocity, like the gaze of a hawk swooping down on its prey.

"Rettōgan – (Fierce Hawk Eye), a good name. I agree, let's call it that," Ozora said, accepting the name suggestion from Tsubasa. He felt the name truly represented the power and potential of his new Dojutsu.

After the naming of the Dojutsu was completed, Tsubasa explained Ozora's next training plan. "Starting tomorrow, we will focus training on maximizing the potential of Rettōgan." He had already compiled a more structured and intensive training plan to develop Ozora's Rettōgan.

"We will train your chakra control, reaction speed, and visual perception. In addition, we will also develop new jutsu that are suitable for Rettōgan," Tsubasa explained.

He wanted Ozora not only to master the basics of Rettōgan, but also to be able to develop advanced applications and techniques that could maximize the potential of the Dojutsu. Because this Dojutsu had abilities somewhat similar to Sharingan, Tsubasa planned to teach his brother the Chidori ninjutsu series.

Tsubasa added in his heart, "We will also explore other potential powers that may be hidden within you, such as wood or crystal elements, which may come from Hashirama and Kohaku's DNA." He was still curious about the hidden potential of Ozora's clone body.

He was sure that Rettōgan was just the beginning, and there were many other powers waiting to be awakened.

Ozora listened to Tsubasa's training plan with enthusiasm. He could not wait to start intensive training and delve deeper into the potential of his Rettōgan. His spirit to become stronger rekindled, even greater than before.

"I'm ready, Tsubasa. I will train as hard as possible to master Rettōgan and become a stronger ninja," Ozora said with burning determination. His eyes radiated unwavering confidence and fighting spirit.

The awakening of Rettōgan gave new hope to Ozora. This Dojutsu became a source of motivation and a new purpose in his life. He no longer looked gloomy and lost his spirit. He again showed enthusiasm and joy in going through his days.

Intensive training with Tsubasa became a new routine that Ozora enjoyed. He trained hard and disciplined, showing rapid progress from day to day.

The presence of Rettōgan also increased Ozora's self-confidence. He felt that he possessed a meaningful power, a power he could use to protect his loved ones and build the future of the Takagami clan.

Tsubasa was very happy to see the positive changes in Ozora. He knew that his white lie about the origins of Rettōgan had had a good impact on his brother. The lie might not have been entirely true, but his intention was sincere to rekindle Ozora's spirit and hope.

Preparations for moving to the new ninja village continued. All members of the Takagami clan worked together with high enthusiasm, preparing themselves for a new life in a new place.

The atmosphere in Takagami Valley leading up to the move was filled with a mixture of parting sadness and hope for the future.

They were leaving behind memories of the past, but carrying with them enthusiasm and determination to achieve glory in their new village. This ninja village, under Tsubasa's leadership and with Ozora's new power, was ready to begin a new Chapter in the history of the ninja world.
