Konoha.
Hayate Gekko had originally been on duty.
Then he was suddenly summoned to the Hokage Office.
"Greetings, Fourth Hokage."
Ever since his illness had been cured, Hayate Gekko's entire demeanor had been completely transformed.
Especially since he had recently married his beloved Uzuki Yugao, leaving him positively radiant.
Although an Anbu stood beside the Fourth Hokage, Hayate Gekko did not ask any questions.
"Show him your Transparency Technique."
Minato pointed at Shamu beside him.
"Yes, Fourth Hokage."
Because of the Transparency Technique's unique nature and convenience, he had demonstrated it for others many times before, so he did not ask further questions.
With his Mangekyō Sharingan active, Shamu watched as a special layer of Chakra appeared over Hayate Gekko's body. Then his figure gradually blurred.
In the end, he became transparent from front to back until he vanished entirely.
Shamu stepped forward. Dressed as an Anbu, he reached out and directly touched Hayate Gekko.
So the Transparency Technique could not pass through objects. It merely changed the color of the user's body and surroundings?
Even though Shamu had watched Hayate disappear, his Mangekyō Sharingan could not detect him once Hayate stood completely still.
When Hayate Gekko began moving, the light only distorted slightly when his Chakra became unstable in motion.
Seeing that effect, Shamu exclaimed inwardly:
Holy shit, that's awesome—optical camouflage!
Then Hayate Gekko reappeared.
Shamu asked curiously:
"How long can your Transparency Technique last at a time? Is it mainly limited by Chakra consumption, or is there a fixed duration each time you activate it?"
"Can it get through detection barriers?"
Hayate Gekko glanced at Minato. Seeing Minato smile and nod, he answered, "Once the Transparency Technique is activated, it requires Chakra to maintain. In theory, as long as there is enough Chakra, it can remain active indefinitely."
