Hayato seemed like the sort of character who was always chipper, always happy, his energy was almost contagious. When Hayato agreed that it would be better next time he took Michirama's advice and attempted the technique once more. The Oil Bullet was much stronger and much more balanced this time, in fact, it could be considered complete. However, it wasn't that that caught Michirama off guard, it was the fact that Hayato called him a genius. Twice now, others had called him a genius or a prodigy. Why couldn't he get this recognition from his father? Why was his father never proud of his work but other ninja or skill considered him a genius? It made him mad, but at the same time it flattered him, it fueled him to make sure he deserved that title; a Prodigy.

Michirama lifted his left hand that was holding onto his scabbard and bumped fist with Hayato. "You know ... Shien said something similar ... said I was a prodigy. I don't know if that's accurate though" He chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's see if I can get it right". Michirama focused the chakra once more with the effects of the flying swallow technique, extending the length of his blade from roughly a meter and half to just under 3 meters making it look quite impressive. He set his sights on a nearby training dummy, charging towards the dummy he slashed horizontally from his left side in a crescent arc. Michirama was too far away to hit the dummy with the physical blade but the chakra extension allowed the attack to reach the dummy, slicing it in two. Before the dummy could collapse, Michirama followed up be performing a diagonal strike from the right side, once again slicing the dummy with the chakra extension. As the dummy collapsed, Michirama sheathed the blade, deactivating the flying swallow technique "I think ... that's it down pat, any suggestions on your end?" He asked as he turned to look at Hayato. He considered Hayato a friend, or at least on the path to being a friend so his opinion was definitely respected.
