You Want to Gang Up on Me? No! I'm the One Ganging Up on You!

Hagoromo heard Naruto's words, he just chuckled lightly. If only it were that easy to achieve.

Besides, Naruto's elemental attribute is only Wind Nature.

"I'm telling you this not so you can show off." He said, patting Naruto's head.

"Everyone has their own talents. For example, you Chakra, so you tend to be more inclined to burst damage in combat."

"Although Earth Release can achieve the same effect, Wind Nature is the most suitable for you."

"The reason I'm having you practice other attributes now is to prevent your combat style from becoming too one-dimensional, and also to ensure you can effectively utilize them in certain situations."

"I understand, teacher." Naruto scratched his head.

"Alright, keep it up. There's no rush with attributes; they're meant for you to train gradually."

As she spoke, Hagoromo looked at Sasuke and Naruto:

"After a while, the teacher will teach you the Summoning Technique Formula, but you'll need to prepare a bit."

"No problem, teacher!"*2

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance and quickly nodded in response with happy expressions.

--

It still doesn't work--

Hagoromo twirled a specially made Kunai with his index finger while scratching his head.

I originally thought that I could perform Space-Time Ninjutsu similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique in Chakra Mode, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even cross a river by feeling for stones in my normal state.

These past few days, Hagoromo has been cultivating whenever she has free time, but the results have been less than satisfactory.

Even though it had the same feeling as before, Yu Yi felt that this hurdle was as difficult as climbing to the Hagoromo.

Even Minato Namikaze stated that unless one possesses exceptional talent, he would not recommend Hagoromo train in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After all, even his Shadow Guard Unit at the time were all selected from commoners.

However, they all share the same characteristic: they possess a talent for spacetime manipulation, even if it is only slight.

"Forget it—since it won't work, let's not force it."

With a graceful spin, Hagoromo placed the Kunai back into his ninja tool pouch.

It's not that I absolutely have to learn this technique, it's just that I always have that little bit of wishful thinking in my heart.

A unique Flying Thunder God with Chakra Mode is pretty good too.

Next, I need to continue practicing Sealing Jutsu and strengthening my other abilities, since the Ninja Hawk's flight frequency has been too high lately.

"A storm is brewing..."

Hagoromo shook his head, got up, and prepared to return to the Ninja Academy.

The Shinobi World is likely to be disrupted soon, so we should try to increase our strength as soon as possible.

[Complete one lecture/teaching session]

[Teaching Evaluation: A+]

[Rewards obtained: Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide (Proficient), Water Release: Water Mirror Technique (Proficient)]

Hagoromo had just finished class, looked surprised. Water Mirror Technique?

Wasn't that Ninjutsu used by the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura?

It can create a mirror made of water, in which a person who looks exactly like the enemy will appear.

Furthermore, they can use the same Ninjutsu as their opponent, and the power is the same.

Similarly, it's a Ninjutsu that consumes a lot of chakra.

However, it's not bad.

At least now we have another way to deal with this. A gang up on me? No! It'll be me ganging up on you all!

As he walked, a figure soon appeared beside him.

Hagoromo turned her head and saw Iruka with a worried expression, which made her a little curious.

"What's wrong, Iruka?"

Iruka looked around to make sure no one was there before letting out a sigh of relief.

Looking at Hagoromo with an uncertain expression, he asked, "Hagoromo, I heard that war is about to break out?"

Hagoromo was taken aback; he hadn't expected that even Iruka was at the Ninja Academy, would notice something amiss.

But considering the atmosphere in the village lately, it's not surprising.

"Uncertainty exists, it's just a precaution."

Hagoromo shook her head and said, "This matter is indeed uncertain for the time being, especially if war breaks out."

The Jonin meeting will definitely be held, but he hasn't received any news about it yet.

At most, it's just the old man making preparations.

Upon hearing what Hagoromo said, Iruka's expression darkened, since taking precautions meant that the matter was indeed true.

"What's wrong? You don't usually pay attention to so many things?"

Iruka believed he knew Hagoromo quite well.

"I'm thinking about the students who are about to graduate," Iruka said, shaking his head.

Once war breaks out, it means that even these children who are about to graduate will go to the battlefield.

Hagoromo Yi patted Iruka on the shoulder without saying anything more.

This was a last resort; even he wasn't sure if Konoha would mobilize these children.

After all, previous wars had lasted for several years, while Second Shinobi World War and Third Shinobi World War were started very quickly.

This also led to a shortage of ninjas.

How could those who go to the battlefield not die?

This is why, after Third Shinobi World War, the major powers were able to recuperate and enjoy a long period of peace.

After all, their core base has almost been wiped out.

War is about interests; what's the point of emptying the entire country?

"Don't worry about it too much; everyone has to go through this eventually."

Hagoromo didn't comfort Iruka, after all, this kind of thing isn't something you can avoid just by thinking about it.

"Neji- san, come on!"

On the training field, Hinata, with a serious expression, spoke to Neji.

Directly opposite, Neji raised his hand to gather Chakra, the veins around his eyes bulging.

"Byakugan - Open!"

Call out--

Neji's figure then vanished, heading towards Hinata's location.

Hinata took a deep breath, then activated her Byakugan and began waving her hands around her body.

"Guardian - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

As Hinata's hands moved rapidly, Chakra gathered in her palms and was refined once more.

Chakra Shape Transformation skills, which were already comparable to others, were enhanced into Hinata- like shapes.

Boom--

Boom--

On the perimeter, Neji's attacks were completely blocked, and the impact of the Chakra collisions directly reverberated in all directions.

"Amazing!"

Naruto looked at Hinata in the arena and unconsciously spoke up.

Sasuke activated his Sharingan and watched the clash of techniques in the arena for a while before he understood what was happening.

He nodded and said, "That's right, you could call it an Absolute Defense."

After all, this is just a training exercise; the main reason Neji is allowed to use his Byakugan is so he can see through the attacks and avoid getting hurt.

"Absolute Defense?"

Naruto turned to look at Sasuke and asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, every time Hinata unleashes a move, she shatters any nearby objects or attacks with needle-like energy, forming a sphere around herself that prevents anyone from getting any closer—it's Absolute Defense."

Sasuke nodded and spoke.

"Is that so? Hinata isn't bad at all!"

Naruto rubbed his nose and looked at Hinata in the arena with great joy.

How can Hinata possesses such strength, be considered weak?

Even Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji on the field all have ways to break through this defense.

However, they were all broken through by absolute force.

After all, none of them are weak.
