As the evening hues painted the sky and the day's reading activities came to a close, Hikari transitioned from the intellectual pursuit of knowledge to a more introspective practice.
He moved to the edge of the wooden plank extending from his room, overlooking the serene courtyard that had witnessed countless hours of his diligent training.
There, in a moment of tranquility, he positioned himself with legs crossed, settling into a meditative pose that had become a recent addition to his routine.
Unlike his usual meditation, this time, he activated his Byakugan, an unusual practice he had begun to explore.
The decision to meditate with his Byakugan activated was driven by intriguing, unusual experiences he had started to encounter.
During recent training sessions focused on enhancing his Byakugan's capabilities, Hikari noticed the emergence of strange, otherworldly patterns and lines that transcended his regular, tangible vision.
These swirling waves of motion, barely perceptible and existing on the fringe of the visible spectrum, captivated him. They seemed to hint at dimensions and aspects of chakra and the world that were elusive and profoundly complex.
Intrigued by these phenomena, Hikari sought to delve deeper into these experiences. By meditating with his Byakugan active, he aimed to attune his mind and spirit more closely to these mysterious patterns, to understand and possibly unravel the secrets they held.
This practice represented a bold experiment, merging the physical enhancement of his dojutsu with the spiritual focus of meditation to access new levels of perception.
As Hikari focused, the world around him took on a different aspect. The familiar surroundings of his courtyard, with its meticulously arranged stones and carefully tended plants, faded into the background as he concentrated on the ethereal patterns that danced at the edge of his perception.
The experience was disorienting yet exhilarating, offering glimpses into the intricate web of chakra that interwove the fabric of the world.
"Although I can't do anything with these kinds of extremely 'sparse' and 'weak' kinds of visions, if I manage to improve my ability to perceive these strange translucent patterns and waves on a more continuous and heightened basis, in the future, from the same kind of training, then I could interact with it with my own body and chakra successfully...", He contemplated with growing determination.
The possibilities that unfolded before him were limitless. By honing his unique ability to perceive natural energy more clearly and consistently, Hikari could embark on a path to mastering senjutsu, tapping into powers that went far beyond the conventional techniques of the ninja world.
This realization marked a pivotal moment in his journey, a beacon that illuminated his path to greatness.
"All the hard training finally paid off!", He thought, a sense of achievement and anticipation filling him.
The prospect of integrating natural energy with his own chakra and techniques opened up new avenues for growth and power, promising a future where he could transcend the limits of traditional shinobi abilities.
It was not that Hikari had never considered the possibility of learning senjutsu before. Yet, the prospect had always seemed too far-fetched, more like a lofty dream than an achievable goal.
The known methods of acquiring senjutsu involved locations shrouded in mystery and legend: the Ryuchi Cave, Mount Myoboku, and Shikkotsu Forest. These places were not found but rather seemed to select their visitors based on enigmatic criteria resembling fate.
Stories of individuals being chosen—Orochimaru receiving a white snakeskin at his parents' graves, Jiraiya being 'accidentally' summoned to Mount Myoboku during a botched Reverse Summoning, and the Senju's speculated ties with Shikkotsu Forest—highlighted the elusive nature of these senjutsu training grounds.
Initially, Hikari had resigned himself to the idea of waiting at least a decade, accumulating scientific knowledge about this world, before attempting to do some kinds of experiments with Jugo's clan's DNA, hoping to artificially induce the capacity to draw in natural energy for senjutsu.
Yet, the unexpected development of his Byakugan offering glimpses of natural energy changed everything.
Now, Hikari realized that a direct path to interfacing with natural energy might already be within his grasp, bypassing the need for secretive locations or experimental procedures.
The key lay in further refining his Byakugan's capabilities, enhancing its sensitivity to the subtle flows of natural energy that pervaded the world.
If he could train his dojutsu to see this energy more clearly and consistently, he might be able to interact with it directly, harnessing it for senjutsu without needing to seek out those suspicious 'animals' or their hidden domains,
"Could I even use 'that' approach for utilizing natural energy then...?", He suddenly got a bright idea. His mind raced, his horizons expanded greatly thanks to this sudden revelation.
