[ Even with the extremely special ocular ability of the Uchiha clan, this isn't some sort of technique that can be copied like other - not the mangekyo or the rinnegan will be able to give Sasuke the opportunity to replicate it. This skill is unique to Nico (and some others of his bloodline) with no special hand-signs or movements to copy.
There isn't really anything to see in the black, just endless darkness and the two of them in the center of it all. It seems to stretch on endlessly in every direction and they appear to be guided by Nico's control only. How he navigates it is a mystery.
Hint: he kind of doesn't navigate. Not with pinpoint accuracy anyway but with generalization - a thought, a feeling, a destination locked into his mind and he goes there. It helps having a map of the area in his mind.
In Sasuke's eyes it may even look as if the whole ordeal is not only draining away his chakra but also his very life - as though every second brings him closer to fading into the dark along forever. Though it isn't much, not for this short of a trip with only a single passenger. Nico's traveled a great deal longer with a much heavier burden than this before but the possibility is there. If he pushes himself too much, if he tries to jump multiple times in a row Nico could whittle away until he's nothing more than a shadow himself.
Once they're back in existence with other living creatures, he's silently grateful for the hand still gripping him. That Sasuke doesn't let go to leave him to fall flat on his face even though Nico has gotten much stronger in the past few years.
He chuckles in amusement. ] You sound like my dad... and my friends... and my doctor.
[ And basically everyone who cares about him. ]
First time but it's always like that. When I was starting out I accidentally shadow traveled across the world a few times and slept for a week after. Taking people or going long distances is more draining but I'll recover with rest. Can't do it more than twice in a row or with a large group though, not without help. [ Even if he doesn't use the word chakra, he knows what it is. Nico is aware of his limits having pushed himself to the brink once. ]
