Chapter 7 – Juken's Training and the Power of the Byakugan

The day started out calmly, but I knew something big was coming. My father had told me, during that tense dinner, that I would begin training in Juken, the Gentle Fist. I felt prepared for it, but there was something else in the air. Something I couldn't quite decipher. And when he approached me that morning, it wasn't just Juken that was at stake, but a new phase in my journey.

"Seiji," my father began, his tone firm but with a hint of pride. "Before we begin with Juken, I need to teach you how to master your Byakugan."

I frowned. There was something in the way he said it that indicated that this training would be different from anything I had ever done. A mix of learning and control, perhaps. He was telling me that the Byakugan was a tool that should be used with absolute precision, like the Juken itself.

"First, you need to learn how to activate the Byakugan with the necessary intensity. It's not just about looking, Seiji. It's about seeing deeply. You have to understand the flow of chakra, and to do that, your mind needs to be in perfect harmony with your body and your chakra." I nodded, trying to absorb every word he said. My father wasn't the type to talk too much, so anything he said was relevant. He began to teach me the techniques to activate the Byakugan efficiently. He explained to me the chakra control needed to activate it without overtaxing my body, something crucial for a member of the Hyuuga family. It was a skill that, if not mastered, could be more of a weakness than an advantage. Activating the Byakugan My father instructed me to sit in a meditative position and breathe deeply. I closed my eyes for a moment, and then, with full focus on my chakra, I attempted to activate the Byakugan. I knew what it felt like: a pressure in my eyes, a burst of energy in the center of my chest, followed by intense concentration. And when I finally opened them, the world fell apart in layers.

The Byakugan not only allowed me to see in 360 degrees, but it gave me a detailed view of the flow of chakra around me, the internal structure of people and the environment. I could see the lines of chakra moving through the bodies of others, the pulse and patterns of energy flowing with each breath.

"Now, let's start practicing precise observation," my father said, pointing to a tree trunk in front of us. "Observe the flow of chakra from one point to another. Through the Byakugan, you can control the flow of chakra in yourself and others. Try to feel its movement. I want you to focus your vision on this trunk and observe how the energy circulates around it."

I did as he asked. I focused my vision, focusing on the lines of chakra that ran along the trunk. It was as if I could see the veins and nerves of a tree, something I would never have imagined possible. But at the same time, this vision gave me a deeper control than I could ever have achieved without the Byakugan.

Byakugan Control and the Juken Technique

My father studied me for a moment, then spoke again.

"Juken, Seiji, is about fluidity and precision. And with the Byakugan, you can see the vital points of a human body, where chakra is concentrated. This will allow you to perform the Juken more efficiently. With the Byakugan, you can perceive where a person's chakra is accumulating, where it is blocked, or even where there are weaknesses in the circulation of chakra."

I was beginning to understand what my father meant. Juken was not just a physical technique. It relied on a total perception of the opponent's body, a deep look at their vital points and the zones of chakra accumulation.

The first technique my father taught me was the manipulation of chakra flow to precisely touch vital points. I had to use my Byakugan vision to identify these areas and then apply Juken to destabilize my opponent's chakra flow without causing excessive damage.

Testing the Technique

Soon, my father had me practice with him. It wasn't a fight, but an exercise in precision. He activated the Byakugan and showed me how to block his movements while simultaneously targeting the vital points of his body. I could feel the pressure of the Juken movements being applied, but at the same time I knew it was a careful dance where control and observation were everything.

"Use the Byakugan to anticipate movement and the Juken to destabilize," my father said. "You need to learn to read others while fighting. Once you learn that, the Juken will become an extension of you."

I was beginning to understand the depth of what was being taught. The Juken wasn't just about strength or speed. It was about seeing, understanding, and controlling. The Byakugan became the key to unlocking the Juken's true power, allowing me to anticipate the movements of the Juken. ments, detecting vital points, and striking with precision.

As we continued our training, I felt that although I had begun to learn, there was still much more to be revealed. The road ahead was long, but I already knew that with the Byakugan and the Juken by my side, I was closer than ever to achieving my goal.

After introducing me to the techniques of the Byakugan, my father took me on even more advanced training, starting with mastering a series of abilities that only the most experienced with the Byakugan could control with precision. He explained to me that, in addition to the capabilities already known, the Byakugan has a series of secondary techniques that expand vision and combat abilities in much more complex ways.

Advanced Byakugan Techniques

After hours of intense practice with my father, he led me to the center of our house, where a dark wooden table was carefully arranged. On top of it, a scroll was delicately rolled up and secured with a special seal.

"Seiji," my father said, his voice soft but firm, as always. "The Byakugan is a powerful ability, but true strength does not come from simply mastering everything. It comes from specialization. What you choose can define your path as a ninja. The scroll you see there contains several disciplines that you can follow."

I looked closely at the scroll, curious. It was covered in a light aura of chakra, as if it were waiting for a touch to reveal itself.

"This scroll will show you the different specialties of the Byakagan. Each has its own set of skills and techniques. You can specialize in one of them to make your vision even sharper and more precise. But remember, once you make your choice, your path will be more focused on that style. It won't be impossible to train other techniques, but it will be harder to master them all at once." My father approached and, with a gentle gesture, activated the seal that held the scroll. It slowly unfurled, revealing different sections that corresponded to each specialty. I saw the titles in ancient characters that glowed faintly:

"Heat Vision (Kōnetsu Me)"

"X-Ray Vision (Senji Me)"

"Each technique you see here is a different aspect of your vision," my father continued, pointing to each of the options. "You can choose whatever resonates with you the most, whatever you find most useful for your worldview and battle. For example, X-Ray Vision is incredibly useful for infiltration and espionage, while Chakra Probing can be the key to mastering the Gentle Fist fighting style. Heat Vision, on the other hand, can be an asset in low-visibility combat areas."

He paused, looking deeply into my eyes, as if trying to see what I was thinking.

"There is no wrong choice, Seiji. The Byakagan is an extension of you. This specialization is something you must feel in your heart, something that matches who you want to be."

I felt like I was in a dilemma. I wanted to master all the techniques, but my father was right—it would be wiser to focus on one skill to make it truly powerful.

"Choose wisely," he said finally, with a serene smile. "I know you will make the best decision."

I remained silent, staring at the scroll before me. Each specialty had its own appeal, but… which one would represent the best path for me? I had to choose a direction, a kind of vision that would complement not only my fighting style, but also my personality and my goals.

My father, with his usual patience, watched me as I examined the scroll. The different specialties of the Byakagan flashed before my eyes, each one more interesting than the last. What had seemed like a difficult decision now seemed like an irresistible challenge.

"Seiji," he began, his voice firm, "the Byakagan is a formidable skill, but specialization is what truly sets great ninja apart. Each of us must choose a path, a technique that stands out and becomes our signature. If you choose the right path, you can become a master beyond compare. But remember, the choice is not easy, and the dedication required will be intense."

I looked at him, my heart beating faster. I knew what he was saying, but a sense of unease grew within me. Whenever I was faced with something new, something challenging, my first instinct was to master it. Why should I limit my options now, especially with something as powerful as the Byakagan?

I stared at the scroll, the characters flashing before my eyes. What I truly wanted was not just to be good at one technique—I wanted everything. I wanted to explore every facet of the Byakagan, to understand its infinite possibilities. I wanted to see the world from every angle, explore every specialty, hone in on each one.

"Father," I said, my determination growing, "I want to master them all."

He arched an eyebrow, clearly surprised. He knew I was stubborn, but this decision would be… unusual. Normally, a ninja specializes in a single skill to achieve profound mastery. I was challenging that concept.

"You know what that means, don't you?" he asked, his voice thick with concern. "You'll be stretching your limits. It won't be easy. Training in all these specialties… will take a lot of time, a lot of energy. Each one requires dedication, and the mental fatigue will be intense. It's a long and arduous path."

I stood my ground, my eyes shining with a mixture of excitement and confidence.

"I know, but… this is how I grow. I don't want to limit myself. If I can learn all this, if I can see all this… then why not try? I want to be more than just good at one thing. I want to see the whole world."

My father studied me silently for a moment, and then, with a deep sigh, he smiled slightly.

"You truly are a Hyuuga," he said, his tone a mix of admiration and slight weariness. "Very well, Seiji. I cannot stop you from following what you believe to be the best path. Just know that the road will be arduous. If you are prepared for it, then I have nothing more to say."

With one fluid movement, he rolled up the scroll again and handed it to me. "This scroll is now yours. Choose which specialization you will begin training in first, but remember... the road will be long. Do not expect quick results."

I held the scroll with my hands shaking slightly, a sense of responsibility settling on my shoulders. I was about to embark on a challenging path, but this was exactly what I wanted. What lay before me was not just training; it was a journey to master something few could even dream of mastering.

"I'm ready, Father. I'll give it my all. I won't give up." He nodded, though his expression was slightly worried. "I know you'll do your best, Seij
