Mito Uzumaki's Dowry, the "Mirage Vapor Pearl"

[It has been determined that Hinata Hyuga is willing to establish a master-disciple relationship.]

[Trust level being checked.]

[Hinata Hyuga's current trust level is Advanced+, gained Taijutsu Mastery (Mastery), Chakra Shape Transformation (Transcendent).]

In an instant, a large number of Taijutsu memories and Chakra Shape Transformation training memories flooded Hagoromo's mind.

This aligns perfectly with the fact that almost all the rewards given when Hagoromo a disciple are triggered based on the disciple's characteristics.

Hinata, on the other hand, is skilled in Taijutsu, and also possesses the Hyuga Clan's techniques of "Rotation" and "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms".

Almost all of them involve the release of Chakra in the form of rotation or barriers, which is an advanced application of Chakra Shape Transformation.

Although he knows the Rasengan, he is only able to use it because of the almost cheating ability of Yang Release Chakra.

Now that I have Transcendent Shape Transformation, some of the later Ninjutsu are easier to use.

Moreover, this was the first time Hagoromo had directly received a reward of Transcendent attributes.

Previously, advancement was almost always achieved through a second trigger.

After instructing Naruto and the others to continue their training, Hagoromo headed to the Hokage Building.

For information on sealing techniques and ninja tools, no one is as helpful as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Genjutsu that can be activated for an extended period of time and construct a scene?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also taken aback when he heard Hagoromo's explanation.

After all, it's practically impossible for anyone to create Genjutsu in this direction specifically.

Ultimately, Genjutsu arose from the need for combat, like the kind of scene construction that Hagoromo described.

For ease of training use, there are almost none.

"Hmm, or maybe there are ninja tools or Sealing Jutsu that can sustain Chakra for a long time."

Hagoromo knew this request was a bit strange, so she could only try to phrase it differently.

"Ninja tools, or Sealing Jutsu?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment before looking at Hagoromo and saying, "There is a ninja tool, which was part of the dowry of Mito Land of Whirlpools Lady Mito Uzumaki Clan Uzumaki, when she married the First Hokage."

"It's called a 'Mirage Vapor Pearl'."

Hagoromo blinked. Goodness, they've even gotten involved with two such powerful figures.

"Master, what kind of ninja tool is that?"

Hagoromo asked curiously, after all, Mito Uzumaki's dowry couldn't possibly be anything ordinary.

"In essence, it was because a special cluster of Chakra particles was discovered back then, and anyone who came into contact with it would be pulled into an endless loop of a realistic illusion."

Finally, it was sealed by the Uzumaki Clan using Sealing Jutsu and forged from compressed special crystal fragments.

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "If Hagoromo hadn't mentioned ninja tools..."

He genuinely couldn't remember it.

"Its function is to release special Chakra particles to record scene information and form a barrier."

"Once released, it can directly create an illusion based on the caster's memories."

Good heavens!

The Land of Whirlpools actually possesses such profound resources?

"Master, since you describe it as so miraculous, why isn't this thing used in some places?"

Konoha possesses this item, yet has never used it.

Hagoromo was genuinely quite curious.

"Because... the conditions for its use are very demanding, and the benefits of training such a caster are not evenly distributed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, lit it, took a deep drag, and slowly spoke.

"We need a node to control and locate the environment, someone who practices Senjutsu Chakra to guide Natural Energy, and a Mastery of Genjutsu to set up trigger traps."

Hagoromo also sighed, realizing that there was indeed a reason why such a powerful being hadn't appeared much.

The other two are relatively easy, but the option to cultivate Senjutsu Chakra is difficult enough for many people.

Throughout the history of the Shinobi World, how many people have actually been able to master Senjutsu?

Um?

Orochimaru apparently created the Cursed Seal because of one person.

Jūgo of the Tenbin Clan was born with the ability to absorb Natural Energy.

The demise of this clan seems quite strange.

Hagoromo believes that the Land of Whirlpools might have sent this as part of their dowry because the First possessed the ability to learn Sage Mode.

But who could have imagined that the First would be able to sweep across the Shinobi World simply by virtue of his own strength?

This ninja tool naturally gathered dust.

"Master, what conditions are required to activate this?"

Hagoromo asked Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, this item belongs to Konoha's assets, and there would probably be conditions for borrowing it.

No conditions required.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said nonchalantly.

"Um?"

Hagoromo Yi was taken aback by this reply. No conditions required?

"This was Lady Mito's private property, which she decided to give to the Hokage Lady Mito left."

"It belongs to the Hokage personally; as long as you are the current Hokage, you have the right to own it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi answered directly.

Hagoromo was taken aback, but then he understood what Mito Uzumaki was thinking.

It's probably an attempt to use the guise of a gift to encourage successive Hokage to take better care of the Senju Clan.

After all, personal relationships will eventually fade, but with financial backing, people might still protect you to some extent out of consideration for that.

However, the Senju Clan, having lost the First and Second Hokage, ultimately chose to integrate into Konoha.

"I'll find the item and have someone bring it to you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said directly, since he really didn't need this thing.

"Thank you, Master," Hagoromo nodded in gratitude.

"No need. By the way, Hagoromo, are you confident about the Jonin Exams?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked curiously, noting that Hagoromo hadn't visited him in a long time.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know much about Hagoromo's strength.

"I feel like I'm fine against ordinary Jonin, but against a veteran Elite Jonin like Captain Kakashi, I feel like I'm a bit lacking."

Hagoromo spoke truthfully, after all, Jonin veteran Jonin like Kakashi and Asuma Sarutobi.

Their combat skills are quite good, and they have plenty of experience.

They are all people who have grown through countless battles, and their methods are endless.

The most important thing is the analysis of the opponent. After all, ninjas rely on intelligence and any means necessary to complete their missions.

However, the reason for this conclusion is still due to Hagoromo's perception.

He can sense anyone who poses a threat to him, and the detection panel is right there.

"That's good, I'm relieved."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this; such progress was indeed fast.

Keep in mind that just over six months ago, Hagoromo was only a Chunin.

"You can decide the assessment time yourself. Come find me as soon as you feel everything is fine."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Hagoromo.

Although he gave Hagoromo a year, he hoped that Hagoromo could grow up as quickly as possible.

That's also a good option.

"No problem, Master." Hagoromo nodded.

He estimated that if his Chakra level could increase dramatically after Naruto and the others' winter break training, he would be able to take the test.

"Yes, the thing you suggested last time is progressing well."

"There are a few children who are quite talented; even the head of the medical department said that teaching them is much more effective."

"It's good that they're useful. After all, these are green shoots from Konoha, and it's a good thing to avoid unnecessary damage before they grow up."

Hagoromo nodded and said, "After all, it's not the Ninja War now, so we can cultivate talent reserves gradually."
