Chapter 89 – The Golden Path
The air shimmered faintly around Akira as he stood, eyes glowing with a soft golden light.
> "Let's go, Kakashi," he said quietly, his tone calm yet resolute. "It's time we meet Brother Minato."
Before Kakashi could respond, Akira's Byakugan flared open—its golden hue swirling with divine precision. In an instant, space around them distorted, bending like liquid glass.
The next moment, both of them vanished.
They reappeared miles away—right near the edge of the central sector, where Minato was investigating the massive energy readings coming from the ruins.
Kakashi stumbled slightly as the world settled back into focus.
> "Ugh… that was… unpleasant," he muttered, clutching his head.
He blinked a few times, trying to steady his senses. "That teleportation felt completely different from Minato-sensei's Flying Raijin. It's like my body was… pulled through light."
Akira smiled faintly.
> "It takes a little getting used to."
Kakashi looked at him, frowning beneath his mask.
> "Since when could you teleport? As far as I remember, your Byakugan's ability only allows travel into your personal dimension—not across the real world."
Akira paused for a second, then said evenly,
> "I think I forgot to mention it before. My eyes are not identical."
He turned his gaze toward the distance, where Minato's chakra signature glowed like a beacon.
> "My left eye—it governs my dimension. But my right eye—" Akira's right Byakugan flared faintly, a ripple of golden energy dancing around it—
"—can fold space itself. It allows me to teleport anywhere I can see, or sense clearly."
Kakashi exhaled softly, both impressed and unsettled.
> "That's… overpowered. No wonder that man nearly drew his blade when he saw those eyes."
Akira chuckled softly.
> "Maybe. But right now, we have no time to waste on that. Are you feeling better?"
Kakashi nodded, rolling his shoulders to shake off the disorientation.
> "Yeah… I'll manage."
Akira turned toward the faint chakra pulse ahead—Minato's signature, bright and fast-moving as always.
> "Good. Let's go inform Brother Minato about what just happened."
And both Akira and Kakashi move to the where Minato was and using body flicker
