The First Step Toward Independently Developing Yang Release

"Teacher, please increase the intensity!"

On the water, Sasuke, who had just adjusted to the surroundings, spoke to Hagoromo on the shore.

Two days had passed since Sasuke last learned to Tree Climbing. Shortly after Hagoromo returned, Sasuke launched another fierce attack on Tree Climbing.

Perhaps by letting go of competing for some unnecessary goals, Sasuke is no longer blindly rushing forward this time.

Instead, he would seek out Ino, Naruto others to communicate with.

Well, considering the chaotic scene that must occur when Sasuke and Naruto are together, Hagoromo would tentatively consider it a unique form of communication between the two of them.

Anyway, Sasuke completed his Tree Climbing training that same day.

The next day, Sasuke found Hagoromo and wanted to begin the next stage of training.

Hagoromo said no problem, and then created a Shadow Clone to teach Sasuke.

This time it wasn't that Hagoromo didn't want to teach her personally, but rather that he wanted to study the Yin-Yang Release Basic Scroll he had received as a reward.

"Alright, ready." The Shadow Clone Hagoromo, placed his hand directly on the water's surface.

The next second, an even more surging Chakra was released, causing the entire stream to churn as if boiling water had been poured.

Sasuke, who had thought he was all prepared, suddenly found himself unable to maintain the Chakra in his feet.

He fell directly into the water.

"Puff--!"

Sasuke had just plunged his head out of the water, quickly spat out a mouthful of water. Although it was just a small stream, it was still water that Hagoromo had just released with his Chakra.

It's even more exaggerated than the ripples under a waterfall.

"Come on up, Sasuke. Your Chakra is low; you need to rest first."

After speaking, Hagoromo's Shadow Clone immediately dispelled the Shadow Clone technique.

After all, that last burst of Chakra this Shadow Clone had left.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke abandoned the idea of continuing his training and climbed up, soaking wet.

Turning his head, he saw Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others training enthusiastically not far away.

Sasuke gritted his teeth inwardly; he needed to speed things up.

After these past two days, Sasuke has come to realize that compared to Naruto and the others, his current strength is nothing short of a joke.

Even Ino, whose training speed was the slowest, Sasuke felt that he might be defeated if he wasn't careful.

At the same time, Hagoromo opened her eyes after receiving feedback from one of the dispelled Shadow Clones.

He let out a deep breath.

He himself was not slacking off; although the Yin-Yang Release Basic Scroll contained the word "basic,"...

However, it clearly explains the uses and applications of the Yin and Yang attributes of Chakra.

This gave Hagoromo a concrete idea of how to independently develop Yin-Yang Release in the future.

Yes, independently developed.

Ultimately, if one wants to be like Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Hagoromo believes it's best to just be true to oneself.

Moreover, only by developing something that you can use yourself can you deepen your understanding and move towards higher goals.

Fortunately, Hagoromo's efforts to cleanse her body with Yang Release Chakra had not been in vain, effectively opening up a shortcut for herself.

With that thought in mind, Hagoromo formed hand seals, slowly organizing the knowledge she had gained over the past few days, and gradually formed several hand seals.

As the mark slowly formed, a few drops of cold sweat gradually appeared on Hagoromo's forehead.

The hand seals he's forming now are mobilizing Yang Release Chakra, which isn't as easy as when he was cleansing his body before.

Just like developing a new route, the Yang Release Chakra flowed into the meridians within the body along with the hand seals formed by the Hagoromo.

It then compresses rapidly towards one location.

As the last mark fell, Hagoromo's left hand gripped her right arm.

A massive amount of Yang Release Chakra appeared on Hagoromo's entire right arm, continuously compressing.

As the amount of Yang Release Chakra reached a critical point, it began to move automatically around Hagoromo without any wind.

The powerful Chakra emitted caused a unique force field to form around Hagoromo.

BOOM!

The Shadow Clones that were originally teaching Naruto and Shikamaru were also passively dispelled due to the interference of Hagoromo's main body's Chakra.

Naruto and Shikamaru immediately stopped training and turned to look in the direction where Hagoromo was.

Seeing Hagoromo's face covered in sweat, looking like she was exerting herself to the utmost.

Naruto instinctively wanted to rush over.

"Naruto! Stop!"

Choji stood directly in front of Naruto, and for the first time a serious expression appeared on his usually honest face.

Choji could sense a very different Chakra fluctuation from Hagoromo; it was the Yang Release Chakra that he was very familiar with.

Naruto was taken aback when he saw Choji like this, and then shouted, "Choji, get out of the way!"

"Naruto, listen to Choji, the teacher is probably experimenting with a new technique. There's a lot of Chakra fluctuation around him right now."

Shikamaru interrupted Naruto with a serious expression, as this was the first time he had felt such a Yang Release Chakra fluctuation, like a volcanic eruption.

Yes, right now, Hagoromo gives people the feeling of something like a volcano before it erupts.

"If you go there now, you'll only bother the teacher."

Hearing Shikamaru say that, Naruto calmed down.

Because Hagoromo had once told Naruto that if anything happened...

When Shikamaru says that it's not okay to go in, Naruto should absolutely listen, because that's the best option.

"But..." Naruto didn't step forward, but he still had a worried expression on his face.

"Shikamaru is right, Naruto shouldn't go forward, otherwise Hagoromo -sensei will have to keep an eye on you."

Sasuke, who was standing nearby, came to Naruto's side and said in a calm tone.

"Don't worry, you know Professor Hagoromo; he won't do anything he's not sure about."

Although Shikamaru said this, he still instructed Naruto and the others to spread out around the training ground to avoid making any noise that might attract other people and disturb Hagoromo.

At this moment, with the dissipation of the Shadow Clone, Hagoromo, whose mind had been somewhat less troubled, gradually calmed down.

He said, "High concentration."

"Then comes compression."

The originally restless Yang Release Chakra began to gradually contract from Hagoromo's right hand and recede into Hagoromo's body as he spoke.

"Finally, it's about coverage."

Thanks to months of continuous tempering, Hagoromo's body is now able to efficiently convert Yang Release Chakra.

Buzz--!

A low moan escaped, but a heavy ripple followed.

A pale golden Chakra glow covered the entire body of Hagoromo.

The force field that was originally confining Hagoromo spread out, stirring the entire training ground.

Naruto, still reeling from the turmoil, instinctively said, "It feels so warm."

"Call--!"

Only then did Hagoromo straighten up, her right hand clenched into a fist.

He now feels that his physical strength has reached a new level.

"However, it seems that's not enough..."

Hagoromo said softly, "Yes, it feels like it's far from enough, after all, we've only covered our entire body with this Chakra so far."

Thinking of this, Hagoromo clenched his fist and slowly spread a small amount of Chakra over it.

The next second, Hagoromo's right fist turned blackish-gray.

"Shikamaru, Naruto get out of the training ground!"

Hagoromo directly told Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others who were guarding the area to leave.

Upon hearing this, Naruto and Shikamaru immediately reunited and ran out of the training ground.

Naruto then shouted, "Sensei, is this distance okay?"

Hagoromo her hand to indicate that it was okay, and continued to look at her right fist.

He then punched the ground.

BOOM!
