Although she was well aware of her teacher's strength, she was still surprised that Hagoromo had managed to control her so easily.
Even though his first reaction was to land perfectly, Sasuke was still a little stunned when he stopped.
"Well done, Sasuke." Hagoromo praised Sasuke with great appreciation.
Of all his disciples, Sasuke was probably the one who caused him the least trouble.
After all, with proper planning and steady progress, even if Naruto sometimes gets ahead, we might lose our composure.
However, overall, its merits outweigh its flaws.
"Also, don't make that face. I'm eighteen this year, and you're almost eight."
Hagoromo said irritably, "If you catch up with me, wouldn't I be so ashamed that I'd kill myself?"
"Uh..." Sasuke was taken aback, then thought about it and realized that seemed to be the case.
However, in their eyes, their teacher had never really revealed his true strength.
Even that Jonin with Might Guy, a Jonin, was only about Taijutsu.
"Don't keep getting stuck on this. You have good talent and you've worked hard; you just need time," Hagoromo said with a light laugh.
"The Ninjutsu I'm about to teach you, you've actually already seen him before. He created it when he became Jonin at the age of twelve."
Hagoromo then spoke with a serious expression.
Sasuke couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Hagoromo's words.
They just said he had good talent, and now they're saying this about themselves.
However, the person Hagoromo mentioned did pique Sasuke's interest.
After thinking for a moment, he asked uncertainly, "That Jonin named Kakashi Hatake?"
"Hmm, not bad." Hagoromo nodded, grasping her right hand with her left.
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of sharp, dense cries echoed throughout the forest, like Chidori singing in unison.
Hagoromo held a dazzling blue-white light in his hand, illuminating the other side of his face.
This technique is called 'Chidori'.
Sasuke felt his breathing become heavy, staring in astonishment at the Chidori in Hagoromo's hand.
"Actually, this A-rank Ninjutsu shouldn't have been taught to you at this time."
As she spoke, Hagoromo slowly walked up to Sasuke.
"But Sasuke, your current mastery of Nature Transformation and Chakra control... to be honest, most people are probably not as good as you."
That's the truth. Among Hagoromo's disciples nowadays, just considering Chakra control...
Most of them are probably not as good as Naruto.
"Therefore, the teacher believes that we don't need to be too concerned about age."
"Furthermore, the development of this Ninjutsu, like Naruto's Rasengan, is essentially a blank slate, allowing you all to explore it on your own."
The current Kakashi has simply compressed and upgraded Chidori to a higher level, transforming it into Lightning Blade.
As for other development directions, I haven't heard Hagoromo any yet.
Sasuke blinked. Hearing this, he was determined to learn this Ninjutsu!
"This technique combines Chakra Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation."
"When this technique is activated, the Chakra already possesses the properties of lightning, thus generating a powerful and offensive electric current."
Hagoromo addressed Sasuke, saying, "Before that..."
"Sasuke, you have mastered Lightning Release Nature Transformation and Lightning Release Chakra Condensation."
"What you need to do now is to highly compress and concentrate your Chakra, creating an extremely high density of lightning energy and powerful penetrating force."
Simply put, it's about imagining the power of lightning compressed into the palm of your hand.
"When it is successfully condensed, the palm will emit a sound like the chirping of thousands of birds, just like I am doing now."
"And this is the origin of the name Chidori."
As Hagoromo finished speaking, the blue-white lightning on her right palm became even more dazzling.
"Chidori!"
The figure in the Hagoromo vanished in an instant, Sasuke, who was standing in place, only felt a gust of wind blow past him.
Immediately afterward, a large swathe of trees behind Sasuke were destroyed and collapsed amidst the piercing cries of Chidori.
Suddenly, a huge cloud of dust rose above the forest.
"So strong!"
Sasuke looked at his Sharingan, which he had to use to Sharingan Hagoromo's whereabouts, but he still couldn't see clearly.
Only a blurry afterimage could be seen, passing by in an instant.
Hagoromo, who had strolled back with his hands in his pockets, looked at Sasuke, who was still in a daze, and slowly said, "Now, let's begin the formal lesson."
Although Sasuke was qualified to learn Chidori itself was only an A-rank Ninjutsu.
After several humiliating defeats, Sasuke finally grasped a little bit of the trick.
After resting for a while, Sasuke nodded to Hagoromo.
Hagoromo raised an eyebrow, signaling to Sasuke they could begin.
Sasuke then raised his hands and formed the following seals:
Zi-wu-shen-wu-mao
Zi--
Sizzle--
As the hand seals were formed, Sasuke's right palm faced downwards, while his left hand pressed down on his right palm.
Scattered bolts of lightning streaked in all directions, accompanied by a dense chorus of clear birdsong and a crackling sound.
Lightning Release: Chidori!
In the next instant, Sasuke's figure disappeared quickly, running towards the trees not far away.
In an instant, several large trees in front of Sasuke's path snapped and fell.
Hagoromo stopped immediately and walked over slowly.
Sasuke himself on his knees; the attack had completely depleted his Chakra.
"Very good, Sasuke!" Hagoromo smiled and encouraged Sasuke.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke straightened up and looked at the fallen tree beside him.
For the time being, it's already quite remarkable that it possesses this level of power.
"Thank you, teacher!" Sasuke bowed to Hagoromo.
"No need, let's rest first," Hagoromo waved her hand and said.
[Under your guidance, your disciple Sasuke Uchiha has mastered 'Lightning Release: Chidori,' increasing his strength and raising your trust level to the highest level.]
[Rewards: Yin Release: Heart Realm Illumination, Spirit attribute increased by 50.]
Oh wow, our Uchiha Sasuke actually trusts him this much?
As Hagoromo watched Sasuke sitting cross-legged, recovering his Chakra, his eyebrows unconsciously curved into a smile.
This reward is absolutely amazing!
Leaving aside the addition of the personal panel, isn't this Yin Release just Hokage version of Observation Haki?
Was it because he found developing the Yang Release Armament too difficult that they gave him a little something in return?
This reward is really good; at least Hagoromo's perception ability will improve if she uses this technique.
Even if it's not the best, it's at least much stronger than Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode's Malice Perception.
"Alright, Sasuke, you've mastered Chidori, but this technique consumes too much energy."
"Therefore, the teacher has to impose a restriction on you: you may not use it more than twice a day."
This was Hagoromo's way of Sasuke's life, since Sasuke's Chakra was not as abundant as Naruto's.
The fact that I was able to use Chidori twice was a result of my good physical training and Chakra control over the past few days.
