"You little brat, you're lecturing me!"
Jiraiya pretended to be angry and flicked Hatake Akira's forehead with his finger.
Hatake Akira was also full of helplessness. Jiraiya's age was there, their relationship was there, and the relationship between him and Hatake Akira also prevented him from saying anything too harsh.
Hatake Akira could only rub his forehead and try to persuade Jiraiya kindly.
"Master, I'm not the one who's in charge of you. It's the Shell Organization and the crisis we're going to face later that's constantly urging you on."
"If Master doesn't perfect the Sage Mode as soon as possible, then when the great changes come in the future, there will be no stage for you to perform..."
"I understand what you said." Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly, "But when I was relaxing today, I saw the women's bathhouse and came here subconsciously."
"This……"
Hatake Akira was speechless. This might be the subconscious reaction of the "old driver". Hatake Akira could not be blamed too much for this kind of thing.
"Master, if you feel there are too many temptations in the village, I think it would be better for you to go to Myoboku Mountain to practice immortal arts."
"It's not impossible, it's just..." Jiraiya looked disappointed, "I know my talent in fairy arts. No matter how much I practice, I can never make further progress."
It’s not that Jiraiya didn’t work hard, but his talent was really not good enough compared to the other two of Konoha’s three ninjas.
When Jiraiya was a child, he was a complete idiot and a loser. The "Throw All Shurikens Out Technique" was Jiraiya's masterpiece when he was a child.
It can be said that Jiraiya's personality as a child was similar to Naruto in the original timeline, both of them were careless and funny.
But for this person, one really can't just look at his talent. It's really hard to envy the fact that God is determined to feed him.
Without a doubt, Jiraiya is the representative of someone who is chased by God and fed.
The first time he used the summoning technique, he accidentally used the reverse summoning technique, and even teleported himself to Myoboku Mountain, one of the three holy places...
This kind of luck also gave Jiraiya the opportunity to truly soar to success, and also laid a solid foundation for him to become famous in the ninja world in the future.
But Jiraiya's fortunes ended there. His rapid rise in conventional ninjutsu did not mean that he had a natural advantage in fairy techniques.
Jiraiya has been practicing the magic of Myoboku Mountain, but he is still a half-baked one. The perfect sage mode is just an unattainable dream for him.
His mind raced, and Akira Hatake suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Master, you cannot practice the magic of Myoboku Mountain to perfection, so have you ever thought about changing the way of practicing magic?"
"For example...Ryuchido's Sage Mode."
Hatake Akira was very familiar with the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, and it was even simpler and more brutal to practice than the Sage Technique of Myoboku Mountain.
It is nothing more than planting a "seed" in the human body, letting it germinate and grow. When it grows into a "small tree", it means that the magic practice of Longdi Cave has been successful.
Moreover, the White Snake Immortal of Ryuchi Cave, Hatake Akira is very familiar with her. As long as he can lure her with benefits, I believe she will take good care of Jiraiya.
Not only the White Snake Immortal of Ryuchi Cave, but also Hatake Akira can provide assistance.
Although Akira Hatake almost died in Ryuchi Cave at that time, Akira Hatake was able to guarantee that Jiraiya would return safely.
You must know that when the fairy chakra "seed" is germinating, if the natural energy is not enough, or the human body's affinity for natural energy is not enough, then the "seed" will absorb human life energy.
Needless to say, given Jiraiya's physical condition, his affinity for natural energy is not very high, otherwise he would not have been unable to practice the Sage Mode of Myoboku Mountain to perfection.
In other words, if Jiraiya practiced the Ryuchido Senjutsu, it would be inevitable that the life energy in his body would be absorbed by the Senjutsu chakra "seed".
But then again, Hatake Akira has his third skill "Tai Gua·Changsheng" at his disposal. As long as the White Snake Immortal doesn't do anything bad, Hatake Akira can completely protect Jiraiya.
"Dragon Cave?"
Jiraiya lowered his head in thought, then raised his head again and looked at Hatake Akira, "Of course I can, but I can't practice the magic of Myoboku Mountain to perfection, so the magic of Ryuchi Cave..."
"I think I should also..."
Having said that, Jiraiya showed a wry smile on his face. Didn't he also want to go a step further?
With the help of Hatake Akira, his physical condition has made a qualitative leap, but his strength has only been improved in some conventional aspects, and there has not been much improvement in the practice of immortal arts.
Without considering the sage arts, Jiraiya can basically walk sideways in the ninja world now, but if he encounters the Otsutsuki clan from outer space, the sage mode will become Jiraiya's biggest disadvantage.
The Tengai Otsutsuki clan all have the ability to absorb other people's chakra to replenish their own consumption, as well as the ability to "return the favor in their own way". Conventional ninjutsu really has no effect.
To be honest, Jiraiya is a little self-destructive now.
"Don't worry, as long as you want, I am sure I can help you achieve the perfect immortal mode of Longdi Cave."
Hatake Akira assured confidently that he would not let down again this time.
Moreover, this can also be a quick way to achieve the Sage Mode. If Jiraiya succeeds, Hatake Akira can completely let some of his main Cs follow Jiraiya's example.
"you sure?"
Jiraiya's eyes showed joy, but there was still some disbelief in his words.
"Master, are you suitable to meet me about something I said I was unsure about?"
"That's not true."
Jiraiya's doubts were gone. He could completely trust Hatake Akira, "Then... shall we set off now?"
"of course can."
Hatake Akira nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, a space channel appeared in front of the two of them.
……
Longdi Cave, the cave of the White Snake Immortal.
Ever since Qi Mu Ming left, the White Snake Immortal has been studying the "Resurrection Armor" that Qi Mu Ming gave her.
The function of this thing is exactly the same as the "Resurrection Talisman" of Gamamaru in Myobokusan, but its performance is more domineering.
The "Resurrection Talisman" of Myoboku Mountain was given by Gamamaru to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo when he was still young, so that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo could use the "Resurrection Talisman" to revive Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
Although the "Resurrection Talisman" can revive the dead, there are some conditions when using it.
First of all, the human body must be preserved relatively intact.
Secondly, the time of death cannot be too long, otherwise the "Resurrection Talisman" will lose its effectiveness.
Finally, the "Resurrection Talisman" must be used by someone with great strength to exert its true effect.
But the "Resurrection Armor" is different. It is almost a product of rules. As long as a person carries the "Resurrection Armor" before death, he will be resurrected no matter what happens.
This made the White Snake Immortal very curious and also very troubled.
The White Snake Fairy also has the "Resurrection Talisman". With her strength, she can also make it like the Toad Pill.
However, the excellent White Snake Immortal of the "Resurrection Armor" saw it, and she wanted to replicate it very much. But after Hatake Akira left, she tried many methods, but still had no clue.
This made the White Snake Immortal very upset, and he also thought about summoning Hatake Akira to ask him about it.
But the pride in her heart did not allow her to do so, and the White Snake Immortal could only wait for Hatake Akira to come to her himself.
Just when the White Snake Fairy was frowning, a space wave appeared beside her.
"Who?!"
"White Snake Immortal, long time no see."
"Oh, it's you, Akira-chan."
The wariness on the White Snake Immortal's face disappeared completely. He ignored Jiraiya beside Hatake Akira and stared at Hatake Akira with great enthusiasm.
Being stared at by the White Snake Immortal with a very cold gaze, Hatake Akira felt a little uneasy. He thought that he had brought Jiraiya to Ryuchi Cave without permission, which made the White Snake Immortal unhappy.
"White Snake Immortal, I came here to ask you for a favor. Please see..."
"for him?"
The White Snake Sage turned his gaze towards Jiraiya, looking him up and down.
After a moment, the White Snake Immortal showed a sneer on his face, "He is the contractor of that group of toads, and he is still a half-finished product."
Being described as a "semi-finished product" by the White Snake Immortal, Jiraiya felt a little embarrassed. It was not right for him to refute at this time, but he would feel aggrieved if he did not refute.
"It's the teaching method of those toads that is problematic. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I brought him to you."
Hatake Akira was very good at talking, and with just one sentence he made the White Snake Immortal grin.
"Oh? So you want him to learn the magic from my Ryuchidong?"
"The White Snake Immortal has a keen eye. That's exactly what I think."
"can."
The White Snake Immortal narrowed his eyes and agreed very easily.
Hatake Akira had some doubts in his mind, but when he thought about it, he understood.
The three holy places have always been in a state of competition. The White Snake Immortal, the Toad Immortal, and the Slug Immortal, none of them is willing to submit to the other.
But the Slug Fairy was the only one in the Wet Bone Forest, and she wasn't the type to start a dispute with others.
The white phosphorus snake and the toad, who are natural enemies, have naturally been fighting each other hard. Over the past thousand years, each has gained and lost, and can be said to be evenly matched.
As long as they can surpass Myoboku Mountain in some aspect, it will be a victory for the White Snake Sage. She will naturally not make things too difficult for Jiraiya to switch to practicing the Ryuchi Cave Senjutsu.
But even though he doesn't make things difficult for Jiraiya, it is very difficult to expect the White Snake Immortal to pay much attention to Jiraiya and give him special treatment.
"Tunjin-ji, take him to participate in the trial in our Ryuchi Cave."
"White Snake Immortal, please wait."
Just as Princess Tsuzu took a step forward and wanted to take Jiraiya away, Hatake Akira suddenly spoke out to stop her.
"White Snake Immortal, do you think we can get straight to the point and skip the three tests and directly practice the Dragon Earth Cave Immortal Technique?"
"Longdi Cave has its own rules, which were set thousands of years ago, unless..."
The White Snake Immortal looked at Hatake Akira with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Hatake Akira understood immediately, and purchased a "Famous Sword Siming" from the equipment mall, then stepped forward and handed it to the White Snake Immortal.
"White Snake Immortal, I know the rules cannot be broken, but can you make the test a little simpler?"
"Tanjinji, take that guy to take the test. I'm very optimistic about him."
"Yes, the White Snake Immortal."
Princess Tsuzu nodded in agreement and led the somewhat nervous Jiraiya out of the White Snake Immortal's cave.
