Chapter 211 Kai's Sage Mode, Moonlit Retreat (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
For Genichi Kinoshita, Itachi Uchiha could be a very good tool, a seed for exploitation.

The fact that Itachi Uchiha revealed a little information to Fugaku Uchiha was also a casual act.

If Fugaku Uchiha were to cooperate with him, Genichi Kinoshita would be very welcoming and might even be willing to train a few more Uchiha, or even find a way out for the Uchiha so that they would be less mentally unstable and more stable.

However, Fugaku Uchiha was not so decisive.

Genichi Shushita was not disappointed by this.

Does he lack Sharingan?

No problem, you can easily create three-tomoe Sharingan now.

If he had no reservations, he could have directly cloned a normal Hashirama Sasuke body by using his own spore cells to cultivate spore embryos.

It's just that Genichi Shushita doesn't want to use it.

But it's not necessary in reality. Maybe it can be used next time when I need to cheat, to see if I can get my own Rinnegan within ten years.

So Genichi Kinoshita quickly put this matter out of his mind and focused on his own training, with his shadow clones occasionally giving guidance to Itachi Uchiha who came to him for advice.

It must be said that Itachi Uchiha was a true genius.

He doesn't need Genichi's guidance on Fire Release, but as for Yang Release, this kid's talent is surprisingly good too.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha's gradual progress, Genichi Kinoshita was really looking forward to the next time he would use his cheat code.

September is almost over.

On this day, Genichi took some time to come and watch Kakashi and Might Guy train under the tree.

At the top of the towering vines, on the wooden planks, both Kakashi and Might Guy sat steadily cross-legged.

Even when the wind blows and the vines sway, Kakashi remains as steady as a mountain.

Matt Kai, on the other hand, would often get flustered by the wind.

But at least it didn't freefall anymore.

Now that we've reached this point, it's time to teach the two how to sense natural energy.

Then Xuan Yi's figure floated up from under the tree and flew between the two.

Might Guy opened his eyes and scratched his head: "Xuan Yi, I don't seem to be able to sense that natural energy!"

Kakashi also looked at Genichi under the tree, but he didn't sense anything either.

However, this kind of training is not without its uses. At least it makes it easier to concentrate and improves control over chakra.

"Natural energy is everywhere, but it is very difficult to sense it..."

Genichi Shushita explained, "Well... or rather, it's difficult to understand them."

"Because you do not know what natural energy is, you cannot perceive it; this is the obstacle of perception."

Matt Kai immediately asked, "Then what is natural energy?"

Under the tree, Genichi asked the two, "What do trees need to grow?"

Matt Kai immediately said, "I want water!"

Then he scratched his head: "You want soil?"

Kakashi said, "It needs sunlight for photosynthesis."

Matt Kai immediately gave a thumbs up.

Shuxia Xuanyi nodded: "That's all right, so this is natural energy."

Matt Kai looked bewildered: Water is a natural energy?
Is sunlight a form of natural energy?
Kakashi also frowned and pondered.

Shuxia Xuanyi continued, "Natural energy is everywhere. Water is the source of life; humans cannot live without it, nor can other plants and animals."

"Plants need to take root in the earth and absorb nutrients from it, which is also a form of natural energy."

"There is also sunlight. Without sunlight, life would cease to exist. For us, this is the most direct source of natural energy."

Xuan Yi pointed to the vines beneath the two of them: "The reason for this kind of cultivation is actually to train your mind, to allow you to eliminate distracting thoughts, and to integrate with the natural world so that you can truly feel the existence of natural energy."

Matt Kai scratched his head, feeling like he was listening to gibberish.

Kakashi couldn't help but say, "This seems a bit too abstract."

Genichi smiled and said, "Nature is heaven and earth, and all things."

"Then, we humans are also part of this heaven and earth, part of nature, and one of all things."

"In other words, our life force is also part of the natural force. As ninjas, when we refine chakra, we are also refining natural energy into chakra."

"Now, by eliminating distractions and returning to nature, we aim to incorporate external natural energy into our bodies and combine it with our internal natural energy, namely our physical strength, to refine it into chakra."

Might Guy suddenly realized: "So it's just like how we refine chakra, refining natural energy, right, Genichi?"

Xuan Yi nodded under the tree.

Matt Kai immediately closed his eyes: "I'll try it first."

Kakashi turned to look at Might Guy, who had begun his training, with a bewildered expression.

What the hell?

Do you understand now?
What did you understand?
What is the same as refining chakra as refining natural energy?
If you can't even perceive natural energy, how can you absorb it?

Seeing Kakashi's expression, Genichi couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Sometimes, people's talents are just so unreasonable.

"Xuanyi, how long did it take you to sense natural energy back then?"

Kakashi couldn't help but ask.

Xuan Yi under the tree said, "A few months, I guess."

He did spend a lot of time trying to sense natural energy, but mastering it took him less than half a day.

Of course, he had no one to guide him, only some information he obtained from Tsunade.

"Kakashi, lightning in nature is also a form of energy. Energy exists in everything."

"You immerse yourself in nature and forget yourself."

Genichi Kishita explained again, and then had Kakashi try it.

Kakashi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to meditate.

Xuan Yi hovered quietly in the air beneath the tree, waiting.

The first time you absorb natural energy is very dangerous; if you don't have enough control, it's easy to overdo it.

Because compared to the human body, natural energy is far too vast.

This makes the human body easily eroded and assimilated by natural energy.

Although humans are part of the universe and nature, this part is a self-contained entity.

When you break free from this self-contained system to absorb natural energy, it's tantamount to abandoning yourself, and that's where the danger lies.

When Genichi Koushi was training before, he created shadow clones as a precaution. Now, he is protecting Kakashi and Might Guy.

Time passes little by little.

While Kakashi and the other two were training, Genichi Kishita was also silently absorbing natural energy to cultivate towards becoming a Sage.

Now he has a stronger and stronger control over natural energy, and as his transformation into an immortal deepens, his body is becoming more and more compatible with natural energy.

It is easy to absorb natural energy without having to remain still.

The sun gradually set.

Suddenly, the sound of tearing cloth rang out.

Kakashi was startled awake, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately widened his eyes.

Might Guy's clothes were torn, and an arm had grown out from under his right armpit. However, this arm was different from the normal arm. It was extremely thick, covered with bumps, and had sharp and long nails, like a wild beast.

Is this what they call a loss of control over natural energy?

Kakashi was alarmed.

At the same time, Genichi Shushita had already placed his hand on Might Guy's shoulder, absorbing the natural energy within him into his own body.

Kakashi then saw the arm that had grown out of Might Guy's right armpit rapidly shrink and then disappear.

If it weren't for the fact that the torn clothes remained intact, Kakashi would almost have thought it was an illusion.

At this moment, Might Guy opened his eyes somewhat blankly: "Xuan Yi, I think... I can feel it?"

"Huh? Why are my clothes torn?"

Kai quickly noticed a cool sensation under his armpits. Shuxia Xuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Kai, you've successfully sensed natural energy and absorbed it into your body."

Kai stopped fiddling with his clothes, scratched his head, and chuckled, "So, that feeling just now was right?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Remember that feeling."

"However, you absorbed too much natural energy, exceeding your tolerance level. As a result, your cells were eroded by the natural energy, leading to disordered proliferation and the growth of an extra arm."

Matt Kay was shocked: "An extra arm?"

"where is it?"

"where it goes?"

"Was it because of this garment that it got torn?"

Kai twisted his body, searching for his third arm.

Then, by accident, the person fell from the top of the vine.

Xuan Yi under the tree couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Kakashi couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, is it because Guy's personality makes it easier for him to master Sage Mode?"

Genichi under the tree pondered, "Not entirely."

"All I can say is that although Kai is active and has strong emotions, he is actually a simple person."

"He is also a very focused and sincere person."

These words can be roughly described in one word: childlike innocence!

Kakashi listened thoughtfully: "So that's why Guy was able to sense natural energy so quickly after overcoming the step of meditation?"

Xuan nodded under the tree: "That's right."

Gai spent several times longer than Kakashi in the step of entering a meditative state.

However, Guy absorbed the chakra very quickly, but there was one problem: Guy's control over it was too poor, and his own chakra was only at the level of Jiraiya.

Even Kai, who had just absorbed natural energy, might not have realized this.

For Kai, this is a place where he needs to train for a long time.

When he last activated his cheat, Kai was able to absorb natural energy very quickly. However, even after several years, Kai still couldn't truly control the natural energy.

So when Genichi Kinoshita was teaching Kakashi this time, he brought Guy along because he wanted to see what would happen.

If Kai mastered Sage Mode, how much impact would it have on the Eight Gates?

Once Kai climbed back up, Genichi immediately said from under the tree, "Kai, you are now able to absorb natural energy. Next, you need to control it, just like you refine chakra using physical and mental energy."

"Now we are using physical energy, mental energy, and natural energy in a one-to-one ratio to refine Sage Chakra."

Matt Kai nodded seriously, then continued his meditation with his eyes closed.

Kakashi took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and continued to try to sense the natural energy.

Genichi under the tree repeatedly helped Kai absorb the excessive natural energy to prevent him from going berserk until the end of the day's training.

Time passes day by day.

Besides going on missions, Guy and Kakashi spend some time every day training in Sage Mode.

Sometimes they're together, sometimes one of them is alone.

For this reason, Guy went to the Hokage's office several times to apply to Tsunade to join the Anbu so that he could be with Kakashi, but Tsunade rejected him every time.

Kai's personality is really not suitable for the Anbu.

Time flies, and before we know it, Genichi's eighteenth birthday is approaching.

The night before his birthday, Genichi Shushita greeted Shizune and Ina Uzumaki and spent time at the experimental base.

But in reality, they secretly arrived at Sunagakure.

It was already late, and Sunagakure gradually fell into tranquility.

Genichi Shushita appeared in Yekura's bedroom, startling Yekura awake. The moment she opened her eyes, two fireballs appeared in the air.

"it's me!"

Xuan Yi Dao under the tree.

The fireball disappeared, Ye Cang turned on the light, stood up, and frowned at Genichi under the tree: "Why didn't you come during the day?"

"Watch out, or I'll kill you!"

Genichi Kishita stepped forward and lifted Yokura's chin: "That's not the tone you should be using on me!"

Ye Cang turned her head away in embarrassment and asked, "Is there something urgent that you came over so late?"

Genichi Shushita casually lifted the blanket and pressed himself against her: "Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday."

Ye Cang felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this, a sense of foreboding mixed with a faint feeling of anticipation.

Genichi forcefully pulled Yekura down to lie down under the tree.

Ye Cang hurriedly turned off the light, her voice trembling slightly: "What... are you going to do?"

Genichi gently stroked the beautiful back under the tree, inhaling the delicate fragrance, and said, "You've mastered Magnet Release?"

Ye Cang asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Genichi Kishita didn't answer, but instead asked, "Do you have a plan for the next step?"

Ye Cang shook his head: "I haven't decided yet."

"Moreover, the nature of the changes I have control over is limited."

There are four types: wind, fire, yin, and earth.

I'm currently trying to master Lightning Release, but it feels a bit too difficult.

In theory, anyone can control all the changes in properties.

The key lies in the extent to which one can master it.

There are quite a few people in the ninja world who can master all nature transformations, but to reach the level of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who possesses the Kage level in every single one, is truly unique.

Of course, Genichi Kishita is an exception now.

After learning a little about Yekura's intentions, Genichi Shushita said, "Trying to master new property changes is indeed necessary, but have you considered integrating the existing four property changes?"

"Four?"

Ye Cang was stunned. She hadn't thought of it that way. Now she pondered deeply: "Fuse the Scorching Release and Magnet Release?"

Genichi Shushita continued, his hands never stopping, "It's not necessarily about fusing Scorching Release and Magnet Release, unless you can find the right direction."

"It could also be simply incorporating Earth Release nature transformation into your Scorching Release."

"Or upgrade Magnet Release to Bloodline Elimination, which means incorporating Yin Release and Fire Release into it."

Ye Cang frowned, feeling a bit confused: "What will happen if Earth Release nature transformation is combined with Scorch Release? And Magnet Release... Do you have any suggestions?"

Genichi under the tree said vaguely, "The fusion of the four nature transformations can continue to use Scorching Release as the core, or it can form a new bloodline elimination."

"As for Magnet Release, well... I don't have a particularly good idea yet..."

Ye Cang looked down and his face immediately turned red.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't expect...

But when my attention returned, the feeling was immediately different.

Genichi under the tree continued, "Leaving aside Yin Release for now, Wind Release, Fire Release, and Earth Release can form Lava Release, hiss... it's so hot..."

Yekura gritted her teeth: "Lava Release only requires Fire Release and Earth Release, right? Wind Release is just for raising the temperature?"

"Wait, I remember that Dust Release also involves the transformations of wind, fire, and earth..."

While picking flower buds under the tree, Xuan Yi said, "Indeed, but you don't necessarily need to cultivate Dust Escape, because your Scorching Escape is similar to the Melting Escape."

"Just like we are now."

Yecang gritted his teeth and tried to think, but then exclaimed in surprise as he was pulled up by Genichi Shushita.

"The night is beautiful tonight. Let's enjoy the moon and discuss this together!"

Yekura admired the moon, while Genichi under the tree admired her beautiful back under the moonlight, her beads of sweat glistening like jade liquid sprinkled from the heavens.

And it was under this moon that Genichi Shushita turned eighteen.
