Chapter 206 Kai and Sage Mode (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The following day, Orochimaru returned to Konoha with Kabuto.

As Orochimaru, he easily obtained the information about the Rinnegan that Genichi Kinoshita brought back.

However, when facing Orochimaru, Tsunade warned, "Don't rush into dealing with Nagato. Even with this information, he's not someone you can easily defeat."

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Of course I know that."

"Don't worry, Tsunade, I won't do anything reckless."

Tsunade didn't quite believe it, and scoffed, "Be careful, I don't want to see your memorial tablet!"

Orochimaru was somewhat touched and laughed, "You can rest assured about that. I'm not that idiot Jiraiya."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Tsunade hesitated, then waved her hand and said, "Get lost!"

Orochimaru didn't care about Tsunade's attitude at all; he was used to it. He smiled and turned to leave the office.

Outside the Hokage Building, Kabuto saw Orochimaru come out and quickly went to greet him: "It seems that Lord Orochimaru had a very successful trip."

"I just found out that the village seems to have released information about Nagato!"

Orochimaru nodded: "That's normal, after all, that kind of enemy is not easy to deal with."

Kabuto asked curiously, "By the way, has Lord Orochimaru inquired about the outcome of this battle?"

Orochimaru waved the scroll in his hand: "Such detailed information must have been obtained through a great deal of testing."

"Moreover, it must have been a fight to the very end."

"Xuan Yijun's strength has exceeded my expectations!"

"Sure enough, he always manages to surprise people."

He had already browsed through the contents of the scroll; the Root already had some information about the Gedo Mazo.

But what I saw this time was clearly even more astonishing.

"Let's go!"

Orochimaru strode forward: "Kabuto, we need to speed things up!"

Kabuto immediately followed up: "I definitely won't hold you back, Lord Orochimaru!"

Inside the Hokage's office, Tsunade stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, arms crossed, watching Orochimaru leave: "That child is..."

She felt that Dou's figure was somewhat familiar.

Shizune came in from outside at this moment, walked to Tsunade's side, and also saw Kabuto. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Isn't he the child who was with Lord Orochimaru during the Battle of Kikyo Mountain?"

Tsunade, reminded of the situation, suddenly realized, "Looks like he's a pretty talented guy."

Shizune asked, "Is Lady Tsunade worried about something?"

Tsunade said, "Orochimaru is obsessed with researching all kinds of ninjutsu, and he probably won't let go of a dojutsu like the Rinnegan."

"This guy has mastered countless forbidden techniques. Although he is very cautious, he is also extremely daring."

Shizune exclaimed in surprise, "Does that mean Lord Orochimaru will go and deal with Nagato himself?"

Tsunade withdrew her gaze, turned around, and returned to her executive chair: "That's hard to say."

"Hmph, who knows, I might hear about this guy's death someday."

Shizune laughed and said, "Lady Tsunade, you're overthinking it. Although Lord Orochimaru's strength is not as great as Genichi's, he's just like Lord Jiraiya. Even if he's no match for him, he can escape without any problem, right?"

Tsunade shook her head: "Never mind him, I'd better think more about how to master Wood Release!"

Upon hearing this, Shizune quickly took out a scroll: "I almost forgot, this was sent by Sister Ina by Xuan Yi just now."

Tsunade took the scroll: "What is this?"

Shizune chuckled, "It will be helpful for Lady Tsunade's training, won't it!"

She didn't look.

Tsunade opened the scroll and began to read, quickly revealing a look of surprise: "This guy, he's already gotten this far in his research?"

The scroll's contents were clearly about the Yin-Yang Escape Technique.

Soon, Tsunade became engrossed in the contents of the scroll, especially the content about Yin Release form creation, which she found very rewarding.

the other side.

Genichi Shushita, however, was at home absorbing the power of the earth's magnetic field to cultivate towards immortality.

In reality, he could be said to have been in a state of immortality.

Needless to say, when absorbing natural energy to become a sage, after the cells are fully nourished, Genichi Jushita will also use the sage chakra within the Yin Seal to immerse his entire body.

The cells are constantly nourished by Sage Chakra, and have become extremely refined due to the success of the Hundred Healings Technique.

Furthermore, Genichi's spirit was always covered and enveloped by a cloak of Sage Chakra.

Although this consumes a lot of chakra, it is not a problem at all with the Nine-Tails' supply.

In the afternoon, Genichi Shushita arrived at the experimental base.

Bai Jue, the chief steward of the experimental base, appeared immediately to greet him: "Lord Xuan Yi, I have some bad news."

Genichi under the tree asked, "Is it related to the demonic statue of the heretic?"

Ah Da immediately flattered, "As expected of Lord Xuan Yi!"

"It is indeed related to the Gedo Mazo. This guy's cells are amazing, and there is no way to cultivate them like the White Zetsu cells before."

"Because it devours all energy to nourish itself!"

A Pixiu that only eats and never vomits?
Genichi under the tree wasn't too surprised. After all, it was the Ten-Tails, a divine tree that could devour the natural energy of the earth, and even the sacred Mount Myōboku was afraid of it.

Upon arriving at the laboratory where the Gedo Mazo's arm was placed, the busy clones all stopped when they saw him appear.

"The previous plan is probably going to fail."

A clone.

Another clone then said, "With current technology, it is impossible to cultivate it in the direction we want. All nutrients and chakra will be absorbed by it to strengthen itself, and it is extremely aggressive, capable of assimilating all other cellular matter."

"unless……"

Genichi under the tree said, "Unless you have the Rinnegan?"

The clones all shrugged: "That's true."

"And it's not necessarily possible to do it."

Genichi Shushita decisively said, "Then let's seal it away for now!"

"Let's talk about it when we have the Rinnegan."

White Zetsu asked in surprise and curiosity, "Does Lord Xuan Yi intend to seize Nagato's Rinnegan?"

Genichi Shushita didn't answer, but said instead, "Let's deal with the spore embryos first!"

"Although the chances of cultivating the Rinnegan are slim, we should still give it a try. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised?"

After giving the general instructions, Genichi Shushita returned to his study at home to continue studying and analyzing the mysteries of the Rinnegan.

Sand Hidden Village.

In the Kazekage's office, Yekura, who appeared increasingly mature and sophisticated, opened the scroll sent from Konoha. After reading it, her expression immediately changed.

"Has Hanzo really died?"

"Peeping at the tailed beast, the Ten-Tails..."

Ye Cang was shaken, recalling the turmoil that had occurred in Konoha two years ago.

Although not much information has been revealed, the commotion is huge, attracting the attention of all the ninja villages.

"So, was that upheaval for the purpose of seizing the Nine-Tails?"

Ye Cang secretly speculated, and then sent someone to notify the higher-ups to hold a meeting.

Soon, the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure gathered in the conference room, including Karyura, the widow of the former Kazekage.

Because the One-Tailed Seal was performed after childbirth, she did not die in childbirth and has now become one of the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure.

After the meeting began, Yekura revealed information from Konoha, shocking everyone.

Chiyo spoke first: "Fifth Hokage, is Konoha sending the One-Tailed Jinchuriki to Konoha?"

Yecang said calmly, "No, Konoha did not make such a request. It was only out of consideration for our alliance and the situation in the ninja world that we shared information to remind us to be vigilant."

Chiyo secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Ebizo said, "In that case, we should strengthen the protection of Gaara."

Ye Cang nodded slightly: "Select two or three elite squads and train them specifically... Although it would be difficult to resist if we were really invaded, at least we can buy some time."

"Konoha's intelligence reports mentioned that the enemy's intelligence capabilities are astonishing, and the situation of the Jinchuriki is definitely not a secret."

Someone suggested, "What if we secretly relocate the Jinchūriki and place them elsewhere?"

Galullo's expression changed slightly, but he did not speak.

From the moment the One-Tailed Beast was sealed away, Gaara was not only her son, but also the village's Jinchūriki.

However, Yekura directly rejected the idea, saying, "Forget about that idea. It might not be able to fool the enemy, and it would also be detrimental to the growth of the Jinchūriki."

"Stop looking at Jinchuriki with the same eyes we used to. Since we've chosen this child, we must trust him and help him master the power of the One-Tailed Beast."

“In this respect, we have fallen behind other villages.”

After saying that, Yekura turned to Karyura and said, "Karuura, you will be in charge of protecting Gaara. I think no one is more suitable than you."

Karyu was moved and quickly replied, "Yes, Fifth Boss, I will do my best."

Yekura nodded slightly, then continued, "Also, after Gaara turns five, I will personally teach him and impart the secret technique of Magnet Release!"

Chiyo was shocked: "Fifth Hokage, you've mastered the Magnet Release technique?"

Yecang nodded slightly: "That's right, it's the same kind of gold dust as the Fourth Generation."

Many high-ranking members of the Sand Village immediately showed joy.

A smile flickered in Yekura's eyes. If these people knew she also possessed the Scorching Release of the Bloodline Elixir Elimination...

However, it seems that guy hasn't come for a long time.

……

It wasn't just Sunagakure that received the intelligence; Kirigakure, and even Iwagakure and Kumogakure, all received a copy of Konoha's intelligence.

However, the number varied, and all the major ninja villages unanimously strengthened the protection of their Jinchūriki.

However, not every Jinchūriki is so obedient.

Inside Konoha Village.

After visiting Naruto's mother, Genichi Kinoshita, who came from the Uchiha clan, went to his teacher Sakumo Hatake's house.

"What brings you here today?"

Sakumo Hatake was leisurely drinking tea.

Genichi Shushita stepped forward and sat down opposite him, pouring himself some tea: "Master, cultivation also requires a balance of work and rest." Sakumo Hatake chuckled: "I should be the one saying that."

He said with some emotion, "Xuanyi, you've progressed too fast. None of the people from the same period can keep up."

Genichi under the tree spread his hands: "You can't expect me to stop, can you?"

"By the way, where's Kakashi?"

“I remember he was supposed to be off today.”

Sakumo Hatake said, "He went out with Kai."

"Is there something you need from him?"

Xuan Yi under the tree: "About the Immortal Mode."

"Teacher, would you like to give it a try too?"

"Your chakra reserves must have increased considerably, right?"

Sakumo Hatake paused for a moment, then shook his head: "It probably doesn't meet the requirements yet."

His arm was simply filled with white blood cells to heal the broken bone, so the improvement was actually very limited.

Kakashi, on the other hand, had an arm that was highly integrated with White Zetsu cells, which was then transplanted based on his father Sakumo Hatake's existing structure.

Its compatibility is also extremely high, so the White Zetsu cells have the greatest impact on Kakashi.

This is purely a technological advancement.

Given Kakashi's current condition, it's even possible for him to undergo another Hashirama cell transplant.

He chatted with Sakumo Hatake, sometimes discussing nature transformations and ninjutsu like Lightning Release and Wind Release, sometimes talking about changes in the village and the younger generation.

After relaxing for more than three hours, Genichi under the tree finally took his leave.

On the bare cliff, Kakashi and Might Guy, their clothes soaked with sweat, sat resting, their legs dangling in the air, the setting sun casting a red glow across half the sky.

"Kakashi, your stamina seems to have improved a lot!"

As he spoke, Might Guy reached out and pinched Kakashi's arm.

The movements were somewhat comical.

Kakashi braced himself on his arms, stretched his body back, and said lazily, "It's because of the bloodline limit, isn't it?"

There are also primary cells.

Kakashi silently added a sentence in his mind.

After mastering the Storm Release, his growth and development over the past two years have indeed been more rapid than before, so recently he has been re-studying the Magnet Release data that Genichi Kishita gave him at the beginning.

Perhaps we can also master Magnetism?

After all, he is proficient in both Lightning Release and Earth Release!

"The limit of blood inheritance..."

"Kakashi, tell me, can I train my bloodline limit?"

Matt Kai suddenly became excited: "It should work, right?"

Kakashi sighed: "Do you even know what a bloodline limit is?"

"Huh? Does this school teach that?"

Might Guy looked bewildered: "So... what is a bloodline limit?"

Kakashi's face darkened: "If you want to cultivate, go ask Xuan Yi. Maybe he has a way?"

"What can I do?"

Genichi's voice came from behind him.

They both turned back.

Might Guy leaped to his feet: "Xuan Yi, we're talking about bloodline limits."

"Kakashi said you can let me train my bloodline limit!"

Genichi looked at Kakashi speechlessly from under the tree.

Do you think I'm Aladdin's lamp?

Kakashi said in a smug way, "You're Genichi Kinoshita!"

Genichi Shushita ignored him and asked Might Guy, "Guy, how far have you progressed in your Eight Gates technique?"

When it came to his specialty, Might Guy immediately put the matter of his bloodline limit out of his mind and grinned, "Oh, this? I'm already able to fully open the sixth gate!"

Kakashi, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "Guy is truly... astounding!"

He tried the Eight Gates Formation, but only managed to open the first gate.

Opening the eight gates requires extraordinary perseverance; it's not something that can be achieved simply through hard work.

"We've reached the sixth gate already! It seems your efforts haven't been in vain, Kai!"

Genichiro nodded, not surprised, and then smiled and said, "Bloodline Limit requires mastering chakra nature transformation, which is probably not suitable for you, Guy."

"However, there is one spell you might want to try."

This time, it was Kakashi's turn to be stunned.

Might Guy's talent for ninjutsu and genjutsu is extremely poor, so he only mastered the summoning technique, which is why he can only follow the path of taijutsu and undergoes inhuman training every day.

What spells are suitable for Kay?

Kakashi was very curious for a moment.

Might Guy, on the other hand, became excited and started making all sorts of exaggerated and bizarre gestures around Genichi under the tree: "Hahaha, Kakashi was right after all!"

"As expected of Xuan Yi, my nemesis!"

"But what kind of magic is it?"

"Can I really?"

As he spoke, Matt Kai suddenly went from being excited and agitated to bursting into tears.

Genichi and Kakashi exchanged a glance, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After a while, the three of them came down from the cliff and stood on the empty wasteland.

Genichi said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, do you remember what I told you about?"

Kakashi asked, "Sage Mode?"

Might Guy looked bewildered: "Sage Mode?"

"Is this the magic you're going to teach, Xuan Yi?"

Genichi Shushita nodded slightly and explained, "The so-called Sage Mode is to absorb something called natural energy from the world and combine it with one's own physical and spiritual energy in a one-to-one ratio to refine it into Sage Chakra."

Matt Kai raised his hand: "Where...where is that...natural energy of heaven and earth?"

He looked around: "Is it necessary to use special methods to see it?"

Genichi Shushita ignored Might Guy's actions and continued, "It can only be felt through perception. This step is also the first step in cultivating Sage Mode."

"If one cannot perceive natural energy, one cannot achieve cultivation."

Kakashi asked, "Does it require special sensory ninjutsu?"

Xuan Yi under the tree said, "No."

"You need to empty your mind, let yourself merge with nature, and become one with nature."

Not to mention Might Guy, even Kakashi looked annoyed.

I can understand each word individually, but when they're put together, I can't understand them at all.

Xuan Yi smiled slightly under the tree, without explaining. With a thought, two thick vines rose from the ground beside him and grew rapidly, reaching a height of thirty or forty meters in an instant. They were bare with pointed ends.

Immediately afterwards, Genichi pointed to the ground again, and two stone slabs flew off the ground and hovered in front of Kakashi and Might Guy.

This scene caused Kakashi's pupils to shrink sharply.

It's not because of Wood Release, but because of this ability to cast spells at will.

Matt Kai, being thick-skinned, didn't react much and caught the stone slab with a bewildered expression.

Under the tree, Xuan Yi pointed to the towering vines and said, "Take the stone slab, climb to the top of the tree, put the stone slab on the top, and then sit on it and don't let yourselves fall."

"When we can reach that point, we will be able to perceive natural energy."

After saying that, Might Guy instantly switched to passionate mode: "I see, I understand!"

"Then, let's start now!"

"I can't wait to start burning with youthful energy!"

After giving a thumbs-up to Xuan Yi and the other person under the tree, Might Guy climbed the tree with the stone slab.

Although they are taijutsu ninjas, they do use chakra.

On the contrary, in terms of chakra reserves, Guy's beating of Kakashi was no less than Jiraiya's.

Genichi and Kakashi watched as Might Guy swiftly climbed to the top of the tree and placed the stone slab on the treetop.

But he soon discovered that the stone slab was difficult to keep steady on the treetop, so he had to hold on with both hands and sit on it in a strange posture.

Even when Genichi looked up from under the tree, his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

At the top of the tree, Matt Kai worked up a sweat before sitting down on the stone slab.

He released his hands, revealed a smile, and was about to give a thumbs-up to Genichi and Kakashi under the tree below when he suddenly collapsed.

"and many more……"

With a scream from Matt Kai, he plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground with a loud thud, creating a large, human-shaped crater.

Just as Matt Kai was about to look up, the stone slab fell and hit him on the head, shattering into pieces.

"Kai!"

Kakashi exclaimed.

"I...it's okay..."

Matt Kai extended his hand and gave a thumbs-up.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the towering vines and said, "It seems that mastering Sage Mode isn't so simple after all!"

Genichi Shushita said, "Currently, in Konoha, only Minato, Jiraiya, and I have completed our training."

"The fourth generation once tried to train, but failed."

Kakashi's expression grew even more serious upon hearing this: "Even the Fourth Hokage failed!"

Genichi patted Kakashi on the shoulder and smiled gently: "Kakashi, I believe in you!"

"come on!"

Sitting for long periods has caused cervical spine problems. It feels like there's a blockage in the back of my neck below my head, and sitting for extended periods makes me dizzy and causes pain in the back of my head. For now, I'll maintain at least 5,000 words per update to recover before resuming my 10,000-word daily update. I hope you readers will understand.
