Chapter 256 Learning Sage Mode
Chapter 256: Learning Sage Mode (th update)
Hokage's office.
The space twisted and Hanekawa's figure appeared.
Tsunade opened her eyes subconsciously.
When he saw it was Hanekawa, his body relaxed again.
"teacher."
Hanekawa looked at Tsunade.
She lay comfortably on the sofa, with her legs crossed and her right foot slightly dangling.
Ever since the Hokage's staff was established, she had thrown most of the unimportant tasks to Nara Shikaku.
This also made her very free.
"Is something wrong?"
Tsunade asked, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"The peace delegation from the Hidden Cloud Village has arrived. Who do you plan to send to negotiate with them?"
Hanekawa walked up to her.
"you."
Tsunade moved her body to make room on the sofa.
"I dont go."
Hanekawa sat on the sofa, right next to her plump thighs.
"If you don't go, then let Nara Shikaku go."
Tsunade had expected this.
Although Hanekawa is more hardworking than her, he is hardworking in cultivation. In terms of work, they are almost the same as teacher and student.
"Shikaku-senpai is indeed more suitable."
Hanekawa looked down at Tsunade and said, "Let the two villages' smartest ninjas talk and see who is smarter."
"You mean Mabui?"
Tsunade chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter how smart she is."
Strength is respected.
It is impossible for Mabui to reverse the current dire situation of the Hidden Cloud Village.
"And one more thing."
Hanekawa nodded and added, "The Hidden Rain Village is no longer allied with us."
"why?"
Tsunade was a little surprised.
In her opinion, Nagato, Yahiko and Konan are all Jiraiya's students.
With this relationship in place, as long as the two villages do not engage in direct conflict, the alliance cannot be broken.
"I don't know yet."
Hanekawa paused and asked, "Teacher, what are you going to do?"
"It's broken, so let it be."
Tsunade said nonchalantly, "They are Jiraiya's students after all."
The Konoha Village is now at its peak, so she doesn't care about the Hidden Rain Village.
If Hanekawa didn't know about the existence of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, he wouldn't have paid much attention to them.
But the two of them are bound to cause trouble and carry out the so-called Moon Eye Plan.
Now that Hanekawa has enough strength, there is no need for him to sit and wait for death. He should stop it in advance if possible.
"You have already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. What are you going to learn next?"
Tsunade raised her head and found that Hanekawa's eyes were not honest.
His gaze was completely undisguised, just roaming all over her body.
Tsunade couldn't help but glare at him.
"I plan to learn the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode."
Hanekawa coughed lightly, retracted his gaze, and spoke seriously.
"That's really your style."
Tsunade wasn't surprised at all.
"Teacher, why do you ask? Are you going to teach me new ninjutsu?"
Hanekawa's mind moved and he had already made some guesses.
"It's the Sage Mode of the Wet Bone Forest."
Tsunade said calmly, "If you can learn it, your strength will increase dramatically, and you may even be able to catch up with your great grandfather."
“When do you start learning?”
Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked.
As for catching up with Hashirama Senju, unless one has a sage body, even if one learns the sage mode, it would be difficult to have half of his strength.
"I just happened to have nothing to do, so I'll go now."
Tsunade sat up, put on her shoes, and said, "Sage Mode is difficult. It takes a very long time to learn it."
"I see."
Hanekawa nodded and said.
Tsunade formed seals with her hands and pressed them to the ground.
Bang.
Out of the smoke, the slug appears.
"Master Slug, we are going to the Wet Bone Forest."
Tsunade said straight to the point.
"I understand, Lady Tsunade."
The slug's body suddenly disappeared.
After a moment, Tsunade and Hanekawa felt a summoning force, their bodies trembled, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already in the Wet Bone Forest.
The Wet Bone Forest, as the name suggests, is a forest.
It is a forest like a tropical rainforest with lush branches and leaves and a humid atmosphere.
As for the word "bone", Hanekawa guessed that if one fails in practicing the Sage Mode, one will be swallowed by the forest and turned into white bones.
After all, in the three sacred places for summoning beasts, practicing the sage mode will have sequelae.
Myobokusan is turned into stone.
Ryuchi Cave was eaten by the three great snake princesses.
The Wet Bone Forest is not explicitly stated in the original work, but we can guess.
"Lady Tsunade, Lady Hanekawa, welcome to both of you."
A gigantic slug greeted softly.
Hanekawa felt that he was even bigger than the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki, and there was no end in sight.
And this is not the main body of the slug, because there are densely packed slug split bodies nearby.
"Slug-sama, Hanekawa wants to learn Sage Mode."
Tsunade bowed slightly and said, "Please teach him."
"no problem."
The slug opened its mouth and spit out a bucket.
Hanekawa looked over subconsciously.
The bucket was filled with a clear liquid that looked like water but was thicker than water.
"It is very difficult for you humans to perceive the existence of natural energy."
"Apply it to your body and it will increase your awareness of natural energy," the slug explained.
Hanekawa remembered the toad oil from Myoboku Mountain, which had the same effect.
"The first step in practicing Sage Mode is to sense and absorb natural energy."
The slug said politely, "Master Hanekawa, please take off your shirt."
Hanekawa nodded slightly.
In the original work, Uzumaki Naruto also practiced by taking off his clothes.
Without thinking much, he took off his shirt.
Tsunade glanced at it subconsciously.
She has a great figure.
Hanekawa was slightly startled and met her gaze.
This is a huge loss.
He hadn't even looked at Tsunade yet, but she had already looked at him.
"You practice well."
Tsunade looked away and said, "I'll go back to Konoha first."
"and many more."
The slug called out to Tsunade and said, "Lady Tsunade, please help him apply it."
"I?"
Tsunade couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hekawa can't apply it evenly by herself."
"And I don't have hands, so I can't help him," the slug explained.
"Ok."
Tsunade walked forward and looked at Hanekawa's body, and she couldn't help feeling strange.
She took a deep breath and used her chakra to pull the liquid in the bucket.
The liquid fell on Hanekawa's back.
Tsunade stretched out her hand, and when she touched his skin, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
She slowly applied the liquid until it covered his back.
"You can do the rest on your own."
Tsunade said, taking a step back.
"what?"
Hanekawa blinked and asked, "Teacher, why don't you ..."
"Do you want to die?"
Tsunade asked threateningly as she glared at him.
She naturally knew what Hanekawa was planning.
"Then I won't bother you, teacher."
Hanekawa said with a light cough.
"Send me back."
Tsunade looked at the slug and said. There was a thud.
Tsunade's body disappeared in the smoke.
"This is the first time I've seen Lady Tsunade like this."
Slug said in a gentle tone.
Maybe others may think that there is a big age gap between Tsunade and Hanekawa, but it doesn’t care.
Because it has been alive for thousands of years.
In her opinion, both Hanekawa and Tsunade were too young.
"what?"
Hanekawa asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Let's start practicing Sage Mode."
The slug didn't explain, and said directly, "Close your eyes and feel the natural energy that exists in the world."
Hearing this, Hanekawa let out a breath and relaxed his body.
Soon, he felt the warmth and coolness coming from all parts of his body.
But other than that, there is nothing.
Hanekawa was not discouraged.
If Sage Mode was really that easy to learn, there wouldn't be only a few people who could master it in the original work.
The time came to Sunday.
There was no progress in Hanekawa's Sage Mode, and not even an entry appeared.
But he doesn't care much and just lets it go.
His main focus is still on learning Wood Release.
It is worth mentioning that he finally learned Sarutobi Hiruzen's Five Styles: Great Link Technique.
In terms of power alone, the Five Elements Great Range Bullet Technique he used surpassed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
the reason is simple.
Five Elements: Great Range Dan Jutsu is a compound ninjutsu, not a bloodline limit.
This means that it consumes the bonus of the entries, and it consumes five at a time.
Thunder, water, fire, earth and wind all consume their corresponding entries.
Among them, water escape has the highest bonus.
But fortunately, compound ninjutsu does not require the balance of the five elements of ninjutsu, but only requires coordination, as long as they can be performed together.
Hokage Building Conference Room.
When Hanekawa arrived, the seats were already more than half full.
The ninjas from Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village are clearly divided on the left and right.
"Hanekawa-sama."
Everyone quickly stood up and greeted him.
Although the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village were very reluctant, they had to take the initiative to salute.
"Is Hanekawa the one leading the negotiations?"
For some reason, Samui felt relieved.
Mabui thought about the previous deal with Hanekawa.
Since he has retained his identity as a member of the Hidden Cloud Village, perhaps he still remembers the old times.
Perhaps some concessions can be made during the negotiations.
But the details still need to be discussed later.
After sitting down, Hanekawa looked at the ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village opposite him.
Ma Buyi looked very haggard.
Samui is slightly better, but still not in good shape.
He suddenly remembered the previous punishment and scratched his hands subconsciously.
As for the rest of the ninja, he knew Darui.
Although I have never met him, his features are quite obvious.
Except for the two imprisoned Yukitos, most of the geniuses of the younger generation in the Hidden Cloud Village are already here.
Today is the first negotiation between Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village. Hanekawa happened to have nothing to do, so he came to see the excitement.
"Hanekawa-sama."
A moment later, Nara Shikaku walked in with a document in his hand.
"Shikaku-senpai."
Hanekawa nodded slightly and said, "Let's get started."
"Hello everyone, I am the person in charge of this negotiation in Konoha Village, my name is Nara Shikaku."
Nara Shikaku sat next to Hanekawa, looked at everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village, and introduced himself.
Ma Buyi's heart was shocked.
Isn't it Hanekawa?
She saw Hanekawa sitting in the middle seat and thought he was presiding over the negotiations.
This is troublesome.
The Nara clan has always been famous in the ninja world for its high IQ, and negotiating with Nara Shikaku would be extremely dangerous.
Especially since the Hidden Cloud Village was already at a great disadvantage.
Negotiations officially begin.
Hanekawa already knew the conditions offered by Konoha Village.
But as expected, the Hidden Cloud Village seemed very resistant.
Hanekawa estimated that it would take some time to negotiate before there was any result.
But it shouldn't be as long as the Iwagakure and Kirigakure.
After all, the Hidden Cloud Village suffered heavy losses, and the two tailed beasts and the Fourth Raikage were all in the hands of the Konoha Village. If they persisted to the end, they would eventually have to compromise.
Halfway through the negotiations, Hanekawa slipped out of the meeting room.
Anyway, he is in a high position and no one dares to blame him.
Besides, Nara Shikaku is the person in charge.
Hanekawa walked into the Hokage's office.
Tsunade was sitting in front of the Hokage's desk, her chin resting on her hands, looking absent-minded.
It wasn't until he saw Hanekawa that his eyes lit up and he quickly stood up.
Her perfect body trembled suddenly, making Hanekawa worry that her slender waist could not support her round and plump breasts.
"come here!"
Tsunade waved to him.
"doing what?"
Hanekawa asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"You are the acting Hokage for today."
When he came closer, Tsunade pushed him directly into the Hokage chair and said with a smile, "As for me, I'm just going to the casino to have some fun."
After saying that, without waiting for his answer, she jumped out of the window and ran away.
"..."
Hanekawa shook his head helplessly.
As expected, even after becoming Hokage, it is still difficult to change Tsunade's personality.
Hanekawa thought about it and picked up a document on the table.
The content is about the operation of Konoha Police Department after its reorganization.
Overall, very good.
Just as Hanekawa expected, after the foreign ninjas were replaced, there were no more conflicts with the villagers.
The Konoha Police Department not only reversed its reputation, but also received positive reviews.
Hanekawa picked up the second document.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This is a mission commission.
Under normal circumstances, all task commissions will be sent to the task hall.
Unless it is an extremely important task, such as an S-level commission.
"Snow Country?"
When Hanekawa saw this familiar name, he couldn't help but read the content.
Just two days ago, a rebellion broke out in the Snow Kingdom.
The daimyo Fuka Sawsetsu was killed by his younger brother Fuka Nutao, and his daughter Fuka Kosetsu was captured.
The Minister of the Snow Country, Asama Santaifu, appealed to Konoha Village for help, hoping that someone could be sent to rescue Kazehana Koyuki.
In the original work, the Snow Country is indeed mentioned.
To be more precise, it is the movie version of "Snow Princess' Ninja Scrolls", in which Snow Princess refers to Fuuka Koyuki.
Hanekawa remembered that it was Hatake Kakashi who rescued her during the ANBU days.
After being rescued, Fuuka Koyuki became one of the most famous female stars in the ninja world, and the movies she starred in were very popular.
Until he met Team 7, with the help of Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and others, he regained the position of Daimyo of the Snow Country.
No wonder it was sent to the Hokage's office.
Because this mission involves the Snow Country, it is a very confidential S-level mission.
But what impressed Hanekawa the most about the Snow Country was not Fuuka Koyuki, but its high-tech chakra technology.
For example, chakra armor, airships, trains and environmental transformation machines.
Hanekawa thought about it and thought to himself that he could make a trip.
Especially airships and trains, they must be brought back.
But it wasn't him who went, but Kakashi Hatake and his team.
Hanekawa was too lazy to run for such a small task.
He picked up a pen and wrote a few lines at the end of the document.
"clear."
Hanekawa closed the file and shouted.
"Hanekawa-sama."
Haru walked in and wasn't surprised to see him sitting in the Hokage's seat.
If it was anyone else, she would think he wanted to rebel.
"Deliver this document to Team Namikaze Minato."
Hanekawa instructed.
"Yes."
Qing took the document and turned to leave.
