In an unnamed valley in the Land of Water, over a thousand Shadow Clones were each diligently studying various secret Ninjutsu.
In just one day, all the Shadow Clones had thoroughly grasped the key points of the secret Ninjutsu.
The methods for condensing black receiver, setting up the Six Red Yang Formation, Demonic Statue Chains, and the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal were now clear in their minds.

[Ding, congratulations…]
[Ding…]
When the last Shadow Clone dissipated, a sharp, pitch-black chakra rod condensed in Shun's palm. He casually flicked it towards a distant rock, and the black rod instantly pierced through the rock, leaving a smooth hole.
Shun massaged his temples. Learning these techniques was just the first step of his plan.
Reviving Kaguya required the Chakra of nine Tailed Beasts, so he prepared to collect Tailed Beast Chakra.
And Yugito and Mabui of Kumogakure coincidentally became his targets.
He planned to capture Mabui first, because the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu she possessed could make up for the shortcomings of the Flying Thunder God.
More importantly, both of their appearances and temperaments made him desire them.
Immediately after, Shun activated Divine Eye, and his vision instantly covered the entire Land of Lightning.
The streets of the Land of Lightning's capital were bustling, with vendors' shouts and the sound of hooves intertwined, and sunlight filtering through the clouds onto the cobblestone streets, reflecting the hurried figures of passersby.
Eighteen-year-old Mabui was not yet the Fourth Raikage's secretary. She wore the light green Jonin uniform of Kumogakure, the tight fabric accentuating her alluring curves. Her youthful face showed a composure unbefitting her age.
At this moment, she was humming a little tune, preparing to go home.
A playful smile appeared on Shun's lips as he said, "This slender and shapely figure, plus the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu… she would make a fine secretary."
As Mabui reached the corner of an alley, just about to turn, a man suddenly appeared, meeting her face to face.
Before she could react, Shun's eyes suddenly lit up. His crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan glowed with an eerie light.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
After a brief moment of emptiness in Mabui's eyes, her consciousness was forcibly suppressed.
She slowly leaned on Shun's shoulder, held his hand, and together they returned to her home.
Mabui was single, so there was no one else in the room.
After closing the door, Shun used the Flying Thunder God Technique, taking Mabui with him.
The next second, the two were standing on a desolate, uninhabited island.
Shun suddenly commanded, "Mabui, use the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu to transfer that rock to the mountain peak ahead."
Mabui mechanically walked to the center of the beach, forming hand signs smoothly. A blue spatial fluctuation flashed, and the rock was instantly transferred to the mountain peak.
[Ding, Host has gained 102 experience points for the Ninjutsu: Heavenly Transfer Jutsu by observing and analyzing it through the Eternal Mangekyo Ocular Technique: Divine Eye.]
[Ding, congratulations, the Ninjutsu has been successfully copied, acquiring the Ninjutsu: Heavenly Transfer Jutsu (Beginner).]
Hearing the system's notification sound, Shun nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he ordered Mabui to attempt longer-distance transfers.
After Mabui had performed it ten times consecutively, her Chakra neared exhaustion.
"It's already over, it seems Mabui's Chakra reserves aren't that much."
Subsequently, he summoned over a thousand Shadow Clones and ordered them to practice the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu. Pale blue spatial fluctuations rose and fell on the beach.
After just over ten minutes, the system's notification sounded again.
[Ding, Host has gained 12802 experience points for the Ninjutsu: Heavenly Transfer Jutsu by observing a large number of Shadow Clones using it through the Eternal Mangekyo Ocular Technique: Divine Eye.]
[Ding, congratulations, the Ninjutsu has successfully advanced, acquiring the Ninjutsu: Heavenly Transfer Jutsu (Perfection).]
As a large amount of memories transferred to his brain, Shun massaged his temples, forcing his somewhat fatigued self to perk up.
Next, he summoned two Wood Clones, one condensing a Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak and the other remaining in its normal state, then activated the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu to transfer them to the other side of the island.
Through Divine Eye, he clearly saw the current state of the two Wood Clones.
The Wood Clone wearing the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak was completely unharmed;
The other ordinary Wood Clone, however, had burn and tear marks on its surface.
He dispelled all his Clones and instantly drew a conclusion, "The Heavenly Transfer Jutsu can transfer any item at the speed of light to any location, but it requires a Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak to offset the damage."
Then, he walked in front of Mabui and released the Genjutsu control.
Mabui's eyes instantly regained clarity, yet she showed no panic. She immediately scanned her surroundings.
The desolate island, the endless sea, the geographical location far from the mainland—all information instantly integrated in her mind.
She adopted a defensive stance, her tone extremely calm. "Shun, this is an uninhabited island outside the Land of Lightning. You controlled me with Genjutsu and brought me here. What is your purpose?"
To survive in the Ninja World, one must be intimately familiar with the powerful ninjas of the Ninja World.
Rumors said that Shun's strength was unfathomable, and he was extremely fond of women.
A gentle smile appeared on Shun's lips. "Mabui, you are indeed intelligent. I value your beauty and talent, so I would like to invite you to the Land of Water to be my secretary."
Hearing this, Mabui immediately replied without hesitation, "I'm sorry, I refuse."
Shun's smile faltered slightly, then quickly regained its confidence. "Can you tell me why?"
Mabui's eyes remained calm and sharp, without the slightest waver. "First, you invited me to be your secretary but mentioned beauty first, clearly valuing my appearance more than my talent. Second, you controlled me with Genjutsu and forcibly brought me here, showing no respect. Third, I am a Kumogakure ninja and will not betray my village."
A hint of admiration flashed in Shun's eyes, but also a touch more playfulness.
"Aren't you afraid I'll use force? With my strength, you have no room to resist."
Mabui calmly retorted, "If you wanted to forcibly control me, you wouldn't have released the Genjutsu just now, nor would you have given me a chance to refuse."
Shun smiled faintly. "You guessed right. I'm going to 'invite' Yugito now. Soon I will show you what true power is. Then you will understand that I can easily destroy your Kumogakure."
With that, Shun's figure suddenly disappeared.
