It wasn't clear whether it was due to his potential not being fully awakened or his chakra being insufficient, but Izayoi's first "fetal movement" lasted not just a few days but an entire two weeks.
During these two weeks, he lived like a blind person, cut off from the light.
Normally, such a state would weigh heavily on one's mood, leading to frustration and irritability. However, Izayoi was incredibly happy.
This was because Hinata was an exceptional caretaker, so much so that her demeanor was like that of a traditional Japanese wife—she was a perfect, devoted companion.
Every day, she brought him meals—either prepared from home or freshly bought ingredients for Izayoi to cook. She was constantly worried that he might get tired from lying in bed too long, so she gently supported him, making sure he walked around the house, always patiently assisting him with basic tasks like bathing, even helping him with his back and washing his hair.
Whenever there was a mission for Team 8, Hinata would take on two roles: one as herself and the other, in the form of a shadow clone, to perform Izayoi's duties.
On days with no missions, she either stayed home and left a shadow clone with Izayoi, or she'd send a clone to keep him company, always worried that he might feel lonely.
Izayoi's daily routine consisted of nothing more than eating when hungry and receiving anything he needed without lifting a finger, allowing him to live like an invalid. Hinata, however, was delighted in doing so.
Having been cared for by Izayoi her entire life, this was the first time she had the chance to care for him. It gave her a newfound energy and joy, so much so that even in her sleep, she dreamed of how Izayoi would praise her for taking care of him.
If Hyūga Hiashi had seen such a scene, he surely would have clenched his fists.
But as with all good things, this blissful time passed quickly.
After spending half a month in a state of blindness, with his mind constantly pumping out chakra, Izayoi felt a sensation of something stirring within him. His eyes felt like something was wriggling inside them.
Finally, after two weeks, the power of the first stage of the "Samara Power" had evolved.
One day, with the curtains drawn and the door securely shut, Hinata carefully removed the bandages from Izayoi's eyes and asked curiously, "Izayoi-kun, is your bloodline technique also a type of dojutsu?"
"Yes," Izayoi nodded slightly.
"Could it be that you awakened the legendary Rinnegan, or the red eyes that can suppress the Byakugan?" Hinata asked, even more intrigued.
'Why not just call it the "Blood Dragon Eyes"?' Izayoi thought to himself but smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. If it weren't for my brain suddenly producing chakra, I wouldn't have realized I had awakened my bloodline technique. But you'll see in a moment."
"Mm-hmm…" Hinata quickly removed the bandages and moved closer to Izayoi, staring at his tightly closed eyes.
When Izayoi opened his eyes, Hinata's eyes widened in awe, her hands covering her mouth in astonishment. "Such beautiful eyes..."
In the dimly lit room, Izayoi's eyes shone like luminous pearls, radiating a bluish-white glow. The whites of his eyes remained, but his irises had turned a sky-blue color, and even the pupils were blue, emitting white radiance that formed intricate patterns around his irises. It was utterly mesmerizing.
These eyes could either be a rare sight returning after thousands of years, or perhaps, for the first time, they had appeared on Earth.
They did not belong to any of the three major dojutsu, nor were they red eyes capable of countering the Byakugan, nor were they the "Blood Dragon Eyes" of the Blood Pool Clan. Instead, they were a new type of dojutsu, known for their destructive and creative powers—The Reincarnation Eyes.
"Such immense power… It's on an entirely different level," Hinata murmured.
Izayoi reached up to touch the corner of his right eye, his gaze sweeping past Hinata but, in truth, his sight pierced through the walls, streets, village, and forests—his vision expanded like an invisible web, enveloping the entire Fire Country.
The Byakugan's far-sight range of eighty kilometers was already extraordinary.
However, compared to the far-sight of the Reincarnation Eyes, it was like comparing a seasoned warrior to a baby.
Just from the first "fetal movement," Izayoi was able to see all of the Fire Country. What would happen once the second and final stages of awakening occurred?
Withdrawing his gaze, Izayoi looked at Hinata, who was still bending over. As his eyes caught sight of her figure, he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
Well, it seems I have a built-in, healthy harmony system.
Indeed, Izayoi had just tested the Reincarnation Eyes' x-ray vision.
After the Byakugan evolved into the Reincarnation Eyes, his vision was no longer black and white. His far-sight was astounding, but his x-ray vision easily penetrated all objects and buildings.
Izayoi did what most men with x-ray vision would attempt. He tested it out on the human body.
However, when he looked at Hinata's body, instead of seeing what he expected, he only saw her skeleton, internal organs, veins, and chakra pathways.
What a waste!
Izayoi mentally cursed but quickly cheered up, thinking of the Reincarnation Eyes' potential.
At least, unlike the moon's Reincarnation Eyes, he couldn't see anything unnecessary!
Noticing Izayoi's change in expression, Hinata asked curiously, "Izayoi-kun, were you experimenting with your bloodline technique?"
"Mm," Izayoi nodded with a smile. "My dojutsu isn't the Rinnegan or the red eyes you mentioned. It's something new, and perhaps even a long-lost art."
"Then what is its power?" Hinata asked, her interest piqued.
"The power is… this." Izayoi raised his hand towards Hinata.
The next moment, Hinata's body seemed to defy gravity, floating in the air and flying toward Izayoi, as if she had left the Earth's gravitational pull.
Then, a dramatic moment occurred.
Izayoi, not realizing how close he was to Hinata, exerted too much force, and in the process, she collided with him, knocking him over onto the floor.
"That hurt..." Izayoi groaned as the impact reverberated through the room.
Hinata, now on top of Izayoi, showed no signs of injury and quickly asked in worry, "Izayoi-kun, are you alright?"
"Cough, cough... I'm fine. Just overdid it," Izayoi said as he helped Hinata up, smiling. "What you just saw was my ability."
Hinata, still processing the scene, was unsure, "Was that… Wind Release?"
"No, that was gravitational force… and repulsion," Izayoi said, glancing around the room.
His eyes landed on a decorated vase.
With a flick of his finger, the vase suddenly flew towards the wall, shattering into pieces.
However, the pieces didn't fall. Instead, they hovered in the air before flying into the trash can as if they had a mind of their own.
"Wow… that's amazing," Hinata said in astonishment.
As Izayoi alternated between gravity and repulsion, a subtle smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Inwardly, he thought, Finally, I have some self-defense abilities.
The Byakugan's evolution into Reincarnation Eyes had granted Izayoi two foundational abilities and three primary powers.
The two foundational abilities were enhanced far-sight and x-ray vision.
The three primary abilities were gravity manipulation, repulsion, and… the ability to control puppets remotely.
Rather than calling it remote puppetry, it was more akin to an alternative form of the Six Paths Techniques.
Izayoi could now use the Reincarnation Eyes to focus chakra and imbue life into a puppet, controlling it from extreme distances. The puppets could also manipulate chakra to unleash light-based attacks.
If only he had Yin-Yang Release, then he could create black rods to provide chakra to the puppets remotely.
Izayoi mentally noted this and then summoned a light screen only he could see.

After evolving from Byakugan into Reincarnation Eyes, the talent entry for Byakugan had been replaced, and the rating had shifted from gold to red.
Not only that, but just from completing the first "fetal movement," the Reincarnation Eyes had surpassed the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, ranking first.
