No matter how strong the founder is, from the perspective of jutsu alone, as the history of shinobi lengthens, the number of ninjutsu will only increase, never decrease. After all, creation has no end.
A powerful person might develop Flying Thunder God Technique; their talented disciple might create Shuriken Shadow Clone; the disciple's disciple's disciple could invent the Rasengan and improve Flying Thunder God; and the disciple's disciple's disciple's son could further refine the Rasengan and develop a new jutsu.
For the shinobi world system, the Sage of Six Paths established the framework, and later shinobi wrote entries within this framework, which is why it has become increasingly rich.
Haori's Chidori Style Third Stage was originally intended as the ultimate application of the Chidori Style's elemental enhancement. After its creation, it indeed demonstrated such effectiveness objectively, making it a highly valuable jutsu.
It can rival the Raikage's Lightning Release Mode and Konoha's Eight Gates, but its limitations and costs are weaker than those two.
The difficulty in mastering this jutsu lies less in practice and more in the foundational requirements.
First, it demands the user have extremely high resistance or affinity to Lightning Release. More importantly, and even most crucially, it requires a sealing technique developed and gradually refined step-by-step by Haori.
Without this sealing technique, theoretically, the Chidori Style Third Stage cannot be used.
Yet, from the start of their confrontation until now, the Sage of Six Paths has already been able to use a jutsu similar in form and effect.
All variations return to their origin. For the source of all ninjutsu, understanding a complex high-level jutsu and being able to use it in such a short time is astonishing, but not exaggerated.
Besides his incredible comprehension, the Sage of Six Paths also possesses the ability to command all jutsu: the Kekkei Genkai Network.
But understanding is one thing; Haori's first reaction was: the Sage of Six Paths is cheating!
Talent goes without saying-the Sage of Six Paths is the second greatest prodigy in history after the greatest-but does talent and learning ability have to be this overwhelming?
Speaking of learning speed, Haori is basically top-tier, but looking at it now, the Sage of Six Paths leaves him in the dust.
However, Haori's amazement lasts only a moment because the Sage of Six Paths has already charged to his front!
As the developer and original user of Chidori Style Third Stage, Haori naturally knows its power: taking a punch is like taking a cannon blast.
Against such an assault, Sage Mode's defense may not hold, and even with extreme electric current defense, it's uncertain it would activate before the attack reaches his body.
Therefore, Haori cannot tank it and must dodge.
In an instant, nearly all his energy concentrates in his legs, amplifying and charging the electric current, then in the next moment, he flashes to the side just in the nick of time.
He dodged the strike before it landed!
Why could Haori move faster than Chidori Style Third Stage in that instant?
The reason is simple: he used electromagnetic catapulting. If he can catapult through Rashomon, he can certainly catapult himself.
Put it this way: like how an aircraft carrier launches a heavy early-warning plane, Haori launched himself...
The speed was astonishing, but in the rush, Haori was quite disheveled, and the strain this move put on his body-that was something else entirely.
Without skipping a beat, he dove headfirst into the water again.
It's no exaggeration to say that a careless move could have smashed him against the seabed, but fortunately, his entry angle was shallow, cutting diagonally downward.
Underwater traces extended far away, and only several minutes later did Haori resurface.
Even so, he needed a brief recovery, and the Sage of Six Paths did not choose to press the advantage.
"Is there a risk of jutsu being stolen if used in front of you?" Haori asked after catching his breath, a question with little doubt.
Among all jutsu, sealing techniques are arguably the most complex. If the Sage of Six Paths can instantly grasp sealing jutsu, then other jutsu would be no problem.
Unexpectedly, the Sage shook his head, "There's no such necessity."
The Sage's trial of Haori's jutsu was largely driven by curiosity; other reasons were not primary.
In fact, whether taijutsu or ninjutsu, the Sage himself is already near perfect. His meaning was clear: he no longer uses Haori's jutsu not because he cannot learn them, but because there is no need.
As if to confirm this, the lightning patterns on his body dissipated after saying this.
Haori nodded in understanding.
But even so, he could no longer casually use ninjutsu in front of the Sage. Even if the Sage does not "copy" his jutsu, merely seeing and fully understanding them would strip Haori's techniques of their threat.
"If ninjutsu cannot be used, then… if the Sage can still comprehend my next jutsu, I have only one path left: surrender," Haori said.
Yes, if the Sage can still understand it, Haori is ready to call it GG... but the next technique he uses is something the Sage simply cannot comprehend-Haori must return to his old method of raw firepower.
"Raien Jūkoku"-can the Sage analyze and use it?
So when the Railgun was unleashed, the Sage was somewhat stunned. Given his surveillance of the Tailed Beasts, he had some memory of this attack style; after all, the Three-Tails was helplessly blasted this way.
But memory and facing the technique are different.
To the Sage, no matter how transcendent a jutsu is, it's still a jutsu, nothing incomprehensible. But what Haori uses-strength aside-where is the chakra?
Learning ninjutsu fast isn't cheating; damn, any "ninjutsu" that doesn't use chakra is the real cheating.
The Gudōdama's defense is as thin as paper and impenetrable by the Iron Sand Sword, but against the extreme brute force of the Railgun, it's another story.
Realizing the power of this attack, the Sage immediately set up multiple layers of defense along the Railgun's path.
Then... one, two, three layers of defense were pierced before Haori's attack was finally stopped.
Though effective, Haori sensed something was off...
The Gudōdama's defense was somewhat different from before, but what exactly?
He couldn't figure it out, but then understood: the Sage had appeared directly before Haori by some unknown means!
The Gudōdama's defense was a mere illusion; after the barrier opened, the Sage vanished behind it!
His hands, marked with sun and moon symbols, enlarged before Haori's eyes, then simultaneously pressed on his shoulders. In an instant, Haori felt his consciousness blur.
The Sage detected Haori's abnormality-using a powerful non-chakra attack-and realizing the true threat, began to unleash his trump card.
What is the strongest sealing jutsu?
It is what the Sage uses now.
He employed a sealing technique combining Yin-Yang power and the Rinnegan's might:
Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei.
