Chapter 99 Your Sage Mode is Different!
Chapter 99 Your Sage Mode is Different!
"The Sand Village and the Mist Village have been fighting each other for many years for some interests in the south, but the Mist Village has lost the possibility of advancing in the Land of Waves..."
Tsunade glanced over the map.
Her eyes fell on the southern waters.
"The Sand Village may seek reconciliation with the Mist Village, or they may come into conflict with them in the south."
"If we confirm that they are not heading north, we can deploy more intelligence personnel to the south to see what they want to do."
Jingyan expressed his opinion.
Then, he thought for a moment and added, "It may be too late. As for other possibilities, the finances of the Wind Country should not be so bad that the Third Kazekage needs to use magnetic escape to mine, right?"
"Haha, with the ability of magnetic jutsu, maybe it's really possible? The finances of the Wind Country aren't that bad, but the Sand Village may not be."
Tsunade burst out laughing.
A villager like Fengying would never be reduced to mining in the desert, right?
She shook her head.
"Don't underestimate the Sand Village, unless they suffer another defeat."
"If that happens, the Third or Fourth Kazekage might actually go mining to earn money to supplement their family income."
A strange smile appeared on Tsunade's face.
Tsk!
I’m really looking forward to it!
She shook her head, then her face returned to seriousness: "Ahem, stop joking and be serious! Their target may be us, Yahiko and the others. Contact Jiraiya and ask him to go there."
"Yes."
Jingyan stood at attention.
It’s fine to come or go.
Anyway, Jiraiya will definitely go to Nagato's place.
Oh, maybe he'll go now.
Jingyan thought.
Then, he hesitated for a moment and said, "By the way, sister, there is something I want to ask for your help."
"What ninjutsu scroll do you need? I'm the Hokage now, you can see anything you want."
Tsunade didn't even raise her head, she was still buried in the paperwork.
Suddenly, she saw the vines in front of her wriggling, climbing from the ground to her desk, and her eyebrows raised immediately.
Looking up——
!!!
Tsunade's pupils shrank and she stood up, her eyes full of astonishment and surprise, and her emotions were very complicated.
Jingyan put his hands together and vines grew on the ground.
very small.
but.
this means……
Jingyan mastered Wood Release.
This is a bloodline limit!
She swallowed several times to suppress her excitement.
"You, you really mastered it?"
"I have been studying the fusion of the nature changes of earth and water jutsu these days. I just tried it roughly and found that I can quickly produce seedlings. There is no need to study or learn at all. However, I can only control vines and grass now. I am not as good as Yamato."
Jingyan told a small lie.
With his chakra and abilities, he can naturally reach Yamato's current level. Controlling simple wood is no problem, but he cannot do it like normal trees.
Make an analogy.
He is probably between the future Moegi and Yamato, and is definitely stronger than the current Yamato.
however.
This kind of Wood Release Ninjutsu is not really that helpful in performing the technique, and it may have more symbolic significance.
"That's better than not knowing how to do it!"
Tsunade couldn't hide her excitement.
She couldn't help but pace back and forth in the office, and then clapped her hands repeatedly: "Wood Release, this is the bloodline limit of Wood Release!"
"I think it's more like Grass Release. Maybe in the future Yamato can build buildings in Konoha, and I can help with greening the streets."
Jingyan canceled the spell, not without a hint of joking.
of course.
Although it is at this level, it is definitely better than nothing. Based on Wood Release, Kyohiko had an idea.
"In the next few days, I plan to try the second stage of the fairy technique in the Death Forest."
"can."
Tsunade nodded.
Then, her face turned serious.
"Why don't we go to Myoboku Mountain? You are the only ninja in our village who can activate Wood Release by yourself!"
"Need not."
Jingyan replied, "My training is not that terrible."
Tsunade still couldn't hide her excitement.
She paced back and forth.
I wanted to show off, but I was afraid of bringing trouble to Jingyan, so in the end I could only look forward to it.
Wood Release awakens in the blood of the Thousand Hands...
"Kyohiko, you must protect yourself. Who knows, the new peace of Konoha and the ninja world depends on you!"
Tsunade's expression was serious.
She felt more and more that the "child of prophecy" that Jiraiya had been talking about might be the person in front of her.
"correct."
Tsunade suddenly remembered something else, "Are you interested in Anbu?"
"what?"
Kyouhiko looked at Tsunade blankly.
ANBU?
What do you mean?
Tsunade coughed lightly and said, "I'm not trying to sabotage you, but I think your abilities may make you more suitable to be in charge of the Anbu than Danzo and Shinnosuke."
"My current abilities and qualifications are not enough."
Does Tsunade mean to let him replace Danzo and Shinnosuke and become the person who actually leads the Anbu?
Although he was tempted, rationally, Jingyan felt that he was not suitable for the job yet, and the three consultants would definitely not agree.
and.
The other Jonins in the village would not agree.
"This will affect your image and public opinion. There is no need for that."
Jingyan added again and refused.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "But regarding the Anbu side, I do have an idea. Do you remember Yamashiro Aoba?"
"Yamashiro Aoba?"
Tsunade recalled the information and quickly remembered it.
He participated in the Chunin Exams together with Kyouhiko, and although he failed to become a Chunin and his abilities were average, the child was quite well-rounded and could be considered a ninja without any major weaknesses.
of course.
Having no weaknesses and being comprehensive also means not having too strong strengths.
"What's up with him?"
"He can keep crows."
Jingyan reminded, "Last time in the Chunin Exam, I saw the Ninja Hawks of the Hidden Cloud Village. Compared to Ninja Dogs, birds can directly fly over the terrain. Smart birds can also carry letters to quickly deliver messages."
"crow……"
Tsunade understood what Kyouhiko meant.
In today's Konoha, there are various means of short-distance communication, such as radio, which are relatively developed and practical.
but.
Long-distance intelligence transmission still relies more on human transportation.
This method is time-consuming and laborious.
As for psychic beasts, not everyone can have a psychic beast of the same species.
Raising crows...
"Crow is very smart, and Qingye has been training him for several years, so he has some experience. Our Anbu should also have similar knowledge and skills, right?"
Jingyan asked.
Tsunade nodded, "Yes, we have some eagles ourselves, but our skills are not as good as those of the Hidden Cloud Village. Their eagles are very majestic and fierce, and can avoid most hunting. Ours are relatively inferior."
"Aoba has talent in this area. I think we can let him work with the experts in this area from Anbu and Konoha to try to raise a group of stronger ninja beasts."
Jingyan said, “You don’t have to contribute your knowledge, you just need to work together and everyone contributes their own strength.”
Tsunade knew.
He was referring to the Inuzuka clan.
As experts in ninja beasts, the Inuzuka clan is the absolute authority on beasts.
"By the way, even if Kurokawa is not sure, he can still help."
Jingyan said.
"he?"
Tsunade was surprised and confused, "Why?"
"In Sage Mode, you must first integrate into nature, become one with nature and the earth, so that natural energy will flow into your body..."
Jingyan explained the meaning of Sage Mode.
Tsunade doesn't understand Sage Mode.
After listening, she understood immediately.
As a natural immortal body, Kurokawa is indeed closer to nature. If he can control himself, he may be able to communicate with birds and beasts more easily.
Look at it this way...
Kurokawa becomes important again.
She sighed.
"That's troublesome! I'll talk to Yamashiro Aoba and the Anbu's breeding experts first, and let them discuss a set of rules. As for the alliance with the Inuzuka family..."
She thought for a moment and said, "The animal-mimicking ninjutsu is unrealistic. As long as they can help tame it, it will be a good result."
"I think so too."
Jingyan nodded.
"You go and practice. Once Shancheng Qingye and the others have a plan, I will take charge of this matter myself."
Tsunade said.
The most urgent task is to let Jingyan master the Sage Mode as soon as possible.
The war is approaching!
If the Sand Village really reaches a reconciliation with the Kirigakure or the Iwagakure, as long as there is a gap between Konoha and the Kyoto forces represented by the daimyo, the other villages may rise up and attack.
She hopes that Jingyan can become stronger before that day comes!
Even though he is very powerful now.
After leaving the Hokage's office, Jingyan summoned a toad with a spirit summoning technique, asking it to help with the communication, and then tried to perfect the second stage of the Sage Mode training. ...
Ten days later.
[Illusion: Nirvana (Master)]
[Illusion: Naraku-sight Technique (Mastery)]
Konoha has no sound illusions.
He studied the art of walking in darkness and found that it would take at least three months, or even longer. It would also be difficult to create an illusion similar to the one that blocked sound based on its principle.
You really need to research it yourself...
It would be great if I could create such an illusion within a year.
and so.
He changed his plan these days.
If you can't stop hearing, then make yourself calmer.
Without emotions, there would be no fluctuations.
For this purpose, Jingyan specially went to learn the Naraku-ken technique, and spent several days mastering it to a relatively high level. By comparing and verifying it, he became more proficient and profound in controlling his emotions.
This also enabled his Nirvana technique to reach the "master" level.
but.
The effect of the technique is only auxiliary, and ultimately you still have to rely on yourself.
After all, the effect of the illusion will disappear when the body's chakra is restored after being impacted by natural energy, which requires him to complete the synthesis and control of the fairy chakra in a short period of time.
This is exactly Jingyan's strong point.
In the Forest of Death, Jing Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, his body entangled by vines, his whole body looking different and as if dead.
In the forest, birds, animals, and even dangerous man-made monsters move back and forth.
but.
They didn’t find out…
There is a person here.
In their eyes, Jingyan seemed to have merged with the surrounding nature and become a part of nature.
At this moment, some changes gradually appeared on Jingyan's body.
On the side, another shadow clone quickly turned into wood, and finally...
"Oh!"
Before it turned completely wooden and mutated, the shadow clone disappeared.
Jing Yan immediately moved to prevent himself from entering a deeper state——
Konoha does not have a black stick, and if it unknowingly enters a mutated state, it may be irreversible.
"It's still not fast enough. It will take five minutes, which is not much different from Naruto, but it's much faster than before. If I can completely hypnotize myself, maybe it can be even faster."
"However, this approach seems to have other hidden concerns."
"Am I still in Myobokusan's Sage Mode?"
"It's time to go to Myoboku Mountain."
Jingyan stood up.
Immediately, the beasts in the forest roared, the birds fled in panic, and some even attacked him.
but.
The next moment, vines grew around them, entangled them and tripped them, and in the blink of an eye, the forest quickly calmed down.
Jingyan was not hurt at all and left the forest directly.
In the process of assimilating with nature, his Wood Release Chakra has assimilated the surrounding vines and weeds, and they are almost one with each other.
This technique is more like a barrier, a bit like Meng Huang's plant barrier, but more powerful.
but.
Its strength is limited, but it is quite useful in perception and hiding.
Jingyan formed seals with his hands.
The next moment, a toad appeared before his eyes.
"Kousuke, please tell Master Fukasaku that I want to go to Myoboku Mountain to try out Sage Mode."
"So fast?"
Gama Kousuke was extremely surprised.
Jing Yan smiled and didn't answer. The other party nodded: "I'll help you speak."
Then it disappeared into the woods.
After a few minutes.
……
At Myoboku Mountain, Fukasaku used reverse summoning to summon Kyohiko from Konoha.
See Jingyan appear.
It immediately asked in surprise: "You can already do this?"
"Yes, it can be done, but there seems to be some problem. Of course, I can also do it the normal way, but it will take longer."
The problem with Kyouhiko and Minato before was that they were too sensitive to the outside world and reacted very quickly, making it easy for them to break the silence and blend into the natural state.
After attaining master-level nirvana, he can put himself into a state of tranquility without being disturbed by the outside world.
But his words...
This completely confused Fukasaku.
What is the normal way and takes longer?
Is there another way to enter Sage Mode?
Fukasaku was confused: "Wait a minute, Kyohiko-chan, let me sort this out for you. Do you mean that you have mastered another technique of Sage Mode?"
"I am not sure."
Jingyan shook his head.
Shen Zuo was surprised, then thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute!"
It ran quickly up the hill.
After a while, Shima and Fukasaku, carried by a huge toad, jumped in front of him.
Shima jumped down from above.
"Kyohiko, what is this other Sage Mode you mentioned?"
"I mastered Wood Release, and then used it with the practice of silence to blend myself into nature. The result seemed to be a different state."
Jingyan answered.
Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other, and the toad's eyes were filled with shock.
Wood escape!
The bloodline limit of the first Hokage was actually reproduced in Kyohiko?
"Can you give it a try?"
"Of course, but it requires a shadow clone to do it because it involves certain risks."
Jingyan said this, forming a seal and summoning a shadow clone.
Immediately, the shadow clone walked to a huge bush in the distance and wrapped itself with vines and plants.
About five minutes later, the shadow clone merged with the surroundings.
Fukasaku rubbed his eyes.
Originally, it could still see Jingyan's shadow clone, but now it can't see it at all, as if there are only vines and grass in front of it.
Truly integrated into nature!
but.
Afterwards, Jingyan's shadow clone slowly turned into wood.
He couldn't tell whether this lignification was developing into the Immortal Technique: Wood Clone or was developing in a worse direction. He didn't dare to try further and directly cancelled the shadow clone.
A special chakra chaotic impact rushed into Jingyan's body, causing him to become somewhat woody, but it quickly dissipated and returned to normal.
He looked at the two immortals, and Bunta above.
"Do you three have any suggestions?"
"..."
Fukasaku, Shima, and Bunta all remained silent.
Suggest?
They don't know Wood Release, and have never seen how the first Hokage used it, so how would they know what the Sage Mode of Wood Release is like?
and.
I heard that the First Hokage had a sage body and didn't need to go through the stages of adjustment and mixing. I couldn't predict Kyohiko's sage mode, and I couldn't even give any advice on the First Hokage's resurrection.
Jingyan knew at a glance that these people had no experience either.
"So, can your sticks produce this state of Sage Chakra?"
"I'm afraid not."
Fukasaku shook his head.
Jing Yan thought about it and said, "That's fine. Let's try the Myobokusan method first. In theory, the principles of the Sage Mode should be the same. The only difference is the way of absorption and application, right?"
"Well, that's the theory."
Fukasaku breathed a sigh of relief.
The Sage Mode just now really touched upon my blind spot in knowledge.
this time……
They saw Jingyan once again formed seals with his hands and then pressed them on his forehead.
What is this doing?
Fukasaku, Shima, and Bunta all looked confused, unable to comprehend the situation before them.
Is this how you practice Sage Mode?
How is it different from theirs!
but.
After ten minutes, natural energy gradually gathered around Jingyan.
Soon, he opened his eyes and showed symptoms of Sage Mode, with the eye shadow on his eyes being very noticeable.
"It really worked!"
Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other.
They have obtained it for a long time, but I have never seen anyone practice Sage Mode like this.
This thing...
They can’t understand it either!
"Two adults?"
Jingyan looked at the two immortals.
Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
This child can’t be taught in Myoboku Mountain!
Let him go back to where he came from.
"Well... ahem, little Kyohiko, there is no doubt that you can enter Sage Mode, and your time is much faster than Jiraiya. It seems that you don't need our guidance on Sage Mode."
Fukasaku thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, you can try to understand and study it yourself. The principles of Senjutsu Chakra are the same, so the Sage Mode is also similar. You don't necessarily have to do it the way we do it."
"You can learn some fighting skills."
Shima reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's decided."
Fukasaku nodded repeatedly.
