Hagoromo: Should I Be in the Car or Under It?

Therefore, Naruto is now able to complete the leaf-cutting training within two months without the interference of the Nine-Tails Chakra.

Hagoromo stated that he was already very satisfied with the progress.

And Naruto is only almost seven years old.

"Hehe, I only have time to cultivate at night lately, so it's been a bit slow."

Naruto scratched his head a little embarrassedly, after all, he thought two months was indeed a bit too long.

"Alright, don't underestimate yourself. This step might take some ninjas years to achieve."

Hagoromo reached out and patted Naruto's head, speaking in a very friendly manner.

Naruto, that kid, can sometimes be overly demanding of himself, except when it comes to research projects.

"However, things won't be so easy from here on out."

As Hagoromo beckoned Naruto to a tree and personally cut off a branch about the size of an arm, which she then tossed to Naruto.

Naruto reached out and took it, holding it in his arms, looking up at Hagoromo with a slightly dazed expression.

"This is your second training session. Continue to enhance your Wind Nature Chakra, but in a larger quantity than before."

"To have the power to sever branches in an instant."

"This is also to prepare you for your third training phase."

Hagoromo pointed to the branch in Naruto's arms and said, "This is something we had no choice but to do."

After all, it would be almost impossible for Naruto to cut off the waterfall now, just like in the original story.

The first point is the issue of Chakra reserves. Naruto's current Chakra reserves are not yet at the level they were when he was sixteen, even though he had already absorbed a wave of Nine-Tails Chakra.

But that's still far from enough.

Secondly, there's the age factor. Even if Naruto could now achieve the maximum amount of Wind Nature Transformation Chakra instantly...

Naruto's body and meridians could also be accidentally injured by this sudden burst of Wind Release Chakra.

While having him by Naruto's side can help prevent things from escalating, it's ultimately up to Naruto himself to maintain control.

Otherwise, the later stages will involve the fusion of Nature Transformation and techniques.

If Naruto himself doesn't have a concept of quantity control...

It's impossible to combine the two to create the technique 'Wind Release: Rasenshuriken'.

Furthermore, since it's about teaching, why can't Naruto be able to create this Ninjutsu on his own?

After all, in the original work, it takes two people to create Rasengan, so it's a bit troublesome to create Rasenshuriken with three people.

Therefore, Hagoromo felt that it would be better to increase the number of steps and prioritize safety.

"Huh? This is so different from a leaf!" Naruto looked at the branch in his arms and couldn't help but scratch his head.

After all, the leaf was only a thin piece, yet it took him a lot of effort to achieve it.

"Take your time. If you can complete this second stage, I'll teach you that Ninjutsu."

Hagoromo reached out and touched Naruto's hair, offering a meaningful word of encouragement.

"That Ninjutsu?! Could it be that!"

Naruto was initially puzzled as to what it was, but then he remembered the magnificent giant Chakra ball that Hagoromo- sensei had created a few months ago.

"I will definitely work hard, teacher!"

For the sake of his dream ball, Naruto quickly patted his chest and declared that he would definitely do it!

"Go ahead, but be careful with the amount you take, don't hurt yourself."

Hagoromo patted Naruto on the shoulder, telling Naruto to go and train on his own, before sitting cross-legged under the big tree.

He was going to see what this so-called 'Detection' was all about.

[Detection (Transcendent): Detects and senses the specific numerical value of a single Chakra unit within the body.]

[Note: The closer the individual target, the more specific the numerical value.]

Hiss--!

Holy crap, what kind of divine power is this?

After all, a ninja's combat skills include not only Chakra reserves, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, but also a range of other combat methods.

The outcome of a battle depends on enemy intelligence.

For example, Jiraiya had known the specific details of the Rinnegan from the beginning of the original story, would the battle have been so fierce?

Yes, it's not about whether we can win, but whether we can fight more easily.

After all, if the Dōjutsu Rinnegan win simply by knowing information, it wouldn't deserve to be called the legendary 'eye that controls life and death'.

Having learned the instructions for using the 'Detection' skill, Hagoromo turned her attention to Uchiha Itachi, who was hiding in the nearby dense forest and preparing to leave.

So, Uchiha Itachi, just how impressive are your stats? (I don't understand some of the concepts, but I'm still here to make some changes.)

In an instant, Hagoromo locked onto Uchiha Itachi in the dense forest.

[Name: Uchiha Itachi]

Age: 12

Spirit: 300 (75% Yin Release Chakra boost)

Physical fitness: 50

Strength: 35

Speed: 85 (75% Yin Release Chakra boost)

Chakra: 16000

Hand seals: 135

Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Technique, Phoenix Flower Jutsu...

Taijutsu: Uchiha Close Combat Techniques

Genjutsu: Tsukuyomi. Kekkei Genkai (Mangekyō Sharingan)...

For a moment, Hagoromo looked at Uchiha Itachi's stats and wondered whether she should be in the car or under it.

How are we supposed to play like this?

Aside from physique and strength, almost all other aspects have reached the level of Elite Jonin and Kage.

Feeling quite disheartened, Yui was having a Hagoromo. Uchiha Itachi's stats were really damaging to his confidence.

Putting everything else aside, even the hand seals alone, that value of 135 is enough to make Hagoromo jealous.

Keep in mind that he can only perform less than two hand seals per second, while Uchiha Itachi's score of 120 means he can perform more than six hand seals per second.

Is this something a human could do?

Moreover, this is only Uchiha Itachi's current stats; it doesn't even reach his peak stats at age 17.

Um?

Just as Uchiha Itachi was about to leave in Body Flicker Technique, he suddenly sensed that someone was watching him the instant Hagoromo detected him.

In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply.

Somewhat surprised and uncertain, Uchiha Itachi turned to look at the training ground. Apart from the training ground where Hagoromo and the others were, there were no other people nearby.

There was almost no one else there.

This was also requested by Hagoromo and the Hiruzen. After all, now that he was the Hiruzen's disciple, it was impossible for him to be monitored anymore.

"It was him?"

A hint of speculation flashed deep in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, except for Hagoromo.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't imagine who else could accomplish this.

Even he was startled by the soul-searching vibrations it sent shivers down his spine.

Because he was so surprised by Uchiha Itachi's stats, Hagoromo was momentarily unable to control himself.

The probe was withdrawn the moment Uchiha Itachi noticed it.

I couldn't help but touch my nose guiltily. As expected of a monster with a mental attribute of 300, it's really quite perceptive.

However, Hagoromo didn't care at all, letting Uchiha Itachi guess as he pleased.

Right now, he wants people to be unable to figure out his true nature.

However... we'll have to be careful from now on; the Shinobi World is indeed full of monsters.

Hagoromo shook his head and stood up. After learning about Uchiha Itachi's stats, he was now feeling immense pressure.

It still needs to become stronger.
