While Hagoromo was still pondering the beads in her hand.

A rapidly approaching voice came from nearby, and Hinata was seen wearing her training clothes.

Covered in sweat, he finally spoke after approaching Hagoromo and the others:

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"It's alright, Hinata, you should rest for a bit," Hagoromo waved her hand and said.

Judging from Hinata, you could tell she had just finished sparring and rushed over.

"Hey, Hinata, wipe your sweat first." Naruto took out a towel he had brought and handed it to Hinata.

"Naruto-kun." Hinata thanked him gently before reaching out to take the gift.

"We'll come and take a look after Hinata has rested," Hagoromo said, pointing to the beads in her hand.

"By the way, you should all pay close attention to some details of my match yesterday."

That Cat San San, he's probably been loitering around there all day.

Upon sensing Hagoromo's Chakra, he immediately rushed over and recorded his battle.

After all, Hagoromo isn't like Hashirama, who can simply use it by clapping his hands together.

However, the Sage Mode of the Cat San San is not conducive to Hagoromo's own Chakra control.

Simply maintain a balance, and you can absorb nutrients while running.

He had been preparing for yesterday's match since before it even started.

"Teacher, I've rested enough," Hinata said as soon as she finished wiping her sweat.

After all, she could clearly see the jubilation on her friends' faces.

Although I don't know what it is, I'd better get started as soon as possible.

Hagoromo Yi shook her head helplessly, Chakra appeared in her palm, and she directly activated the bead in her hand.

Buzz--

An inexplicable fluctuation spread out and enveloped the figures of the group.

The next instant, Naruto and the others, who were still in the training ground, felt the scene before their eyes blur and found themselves on a rooftop on a high platform.

"An illusion?! It doesn't seem like it." Shikamaru, who had been using the Mirage Vapor Pearl, analyzed immediately.

Sasuke blinked, looking at Uchiha Fugaku's figure below him.

Father?

"Teacher! I see you!" Naruto shouted, pointing to Hagoromo's figure in the arena.

"Hmm, this angle should be where Cat San San was yesterday."

Hagoromo Yi looked around and spoke.

"And..."

As Hagoromo spoke, she reached out and gripped the direction of the arena, pulling the figures of several people directly to the location where Hagoromo had been before her match yesterday.

"Hey!"

Naruto and the others looked on in amazement; after all, it was just a single movement.

I came straight to this spot, and everything I saw seemed new and interesting.

"The position remains the same? The scene is zoomed in?" Shikamaru asked after carefully sensing the surroundings.

After all, there was a pebble under his feet when Hagoromo started using the beads.

He had already confirmed it when he was on the high platform, and he still is now.

"Not bad, it just brought the scene closer to reality." Hagoromo nodded.

It has to be said that the bead left behind by the Cat San San after its ancestor's ascension is indeed quite something.

After Hagoromo finished speaking, she let go, and the scene returned to the high platform.

"Alright, for the next match, this is the best viewing spot."

"You all watch carefully. I'm going to ask you questions after you've finished watching," Hagoromo said.

"Yes!" Naruto and the others replied.

--

Throughout the entire performance, Hagoromo did not speed up the playback, allowing Naruto and the others to watch properly.

The story ended abruptly after Hagoromo's figure appeared last, heading towards the high platform.

The scene shifted in an instant, and Naruto and the others realized that they were in a training ground.

"So cool!" After a long silence, Naruto was the first to speak.

Hagoromo ruffled Naruto's hair in an annoyed tone and said, "Think carefully. You all have to tell me what you observed later."

"Teacher, did you eventually manage to reduce the amount of energy stored inside that cumulonimbus cloud?"

Shikamaru pondered for a moment before asking a question.

After all, while Hagoromo's final Lightning Release: Kirin was impressive, Shikamaru always felt it lacked power.

"That's right. When I used the lightning in the Chidori and cumulonimbus clouds to create a link, I used Natural Energy to dissipate some of it."

Hagoromo gave Shikamaru a thumbs-up with great admiration.

Even Kakashi didn't realize this.

Sasuke, on the other hand, had a strange expression on his face. He was puzzled by his teacher's Ninjutsu.

If it could be used in conjunction with the Sharingan, it would probably be even easier.

Seeing Sasuke's expression, Hagoromo said directly, "Sasuke, tell me your thoughts."

Hearing Hagoromo call his name, Sasuke was visibly startled, then hesitated for a moment before replying:

"Teacher, I'm wondering if using the Sharingan would allow me to predict..."

"So, based on Chakra flow and trajectory prediction, it's possible to pinpoint the landing point in advance?"

Although the Hagoromo's technique looked massive, it did indeed directly strike the target within the arena.

However, the area was already confined by the Four Violet Flames Formation, and then the Kirin landed.

Aside from the most severely damaged area at the very center, the rest of the site was ravaged by the aftershocks of the lightning.

This demonstrates that the technique cannot perfectly control the target.

"That's right, with the Sharingan, it's definitely possible to do what you said."

Hagoromo nodded and said, "This is Hagoromo was thinking yesterday when I used Chidori to Shape Transformation of the lightning in the cumulonimbus clouds."

After all, by making good use of the Sharingan's predictive abilities, one can use Kirin in a much easier way.

Unlike Hagoromo, who needs both Sage Mode and his own Chakra control.

It's important to know that Hagoromo's Chakra control is now at a Transcendent level.

Even so, no one dared to use it casually.

"Huh?! Doesn't that mean Sasuke can directly use his Sharingan his teacher's Ninjutsu?"

Naruto blinked, saying in disbelief.

"I can't do it." Sasuke didn't mock Naruto upon hearing this; instead, he shook his head.

"Have you tried it?" Naruto turned and asked Sasuke, seemingly out of nowhere.

Sasuke:...

Well, he did have that idea when he used the Hagoromo.

Although it might seem a bit presumptuous, who wouldn't want to learn such a powerful Ninjutsu?

"No, but it's really impossible." Sasuke pushed Naruto's face away as he spoke.

"It's really impossible." Shikamaru nodded in agreement.

"The essence of this Ninjutsu, teacher, is not about using your own Chakra to create lightning."

"Yes, first, a massive amount of high-temperature steam is generated through the collision of Fire Style and Water Release," Sasuke, picking up where Shikamaru left off.

"Using the final, Great Fire Annihilation, the existing hot air currents rose rapidly due to the high temperature, forming cumulonimbus clouds."

Sasuke crossed his arms and shook his head.

"Most importantly, the teacher merely used his own Lightning Release Chakra as a 'fuse' to guide the real lightning strike generated within that cumulonimbus cloud."

"The core of this technique lies in guiding and controlling, not in creating lightning."

Hagoromo clapped her hands. These two disciples were quite good; they were able to summarize directly from their observations.

"Shikamaru and Sasuke are right; that's why this technique can't be Sharingan."

"To perform this technique, one must follow the steps I will take."

"If we simply use our own Chakra to create it, the technique might not even begin before it turns into a dried-up human body."
