Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

The Curse Seal of Heaven?

Everyone looked towards the chat room, anticipating Orochimaru's reply.

After all... ninjas, pursuing power is understandable.

Every bit of extra strength increases the chances of survival when carrying out a mission.

Orochimaru: "Hehehe... The Cursed Seal of Heaven is not something an ordinary person can obtain."

Orochimaru: "Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to withstand that power, and you'll die."

Orochimaru: "Even if you can withstand it, you will suffer a backlash when you use it."

Everyone: "..."

Thank you, but no thanks.

We're all ninjas. Once we leave the village to carry out a mission, most of us become extremely realistic and can see ourselves clearly.

Those who consider themselves superior are ultimately a minority.

After all... if you're too arrogant, you're very likely already dead when you're carrying out a mission.

"Back then, my Sharingan saw a power in Orochimaru's teeth...it looked both gentle and violent," Sasuke frowned in thought.

"It also carries a sealing power."

"You read that right. It seems that the power Orochimaru is going to give is that."

"However, the risk factor is very high. If I'm not mistaken, that power is sometimes violent and sometimes gentle. If it doesn't suit you... you could very well die. Even if it does suit you, you'll suffer a backlash when using it. It's a double-edged sword."

"But undeniably, that power is no less than when you opened the first three gates of the Eight Inner Gates."

Naruto paused, then didn't continue.

[In fact, he realized that Orochimaru wanted to inject some kind of bodily fluid.]

Since it is bodily fluid, it must have a host.

Orochimaru: "Hehehe~ As expected of Naruto with black-rimmed glasses, he recognized me at a glance."

Orochimaru: "That's right, it's Jugo's bodily fluids."

Orochimaru: "I think... soon Naruto will understand the power of this ninja world... no, a power completely different from the ninja system."

Orochimaru: "In the words of Naruto with black frames, it is similar to the mysterious and ancient sacrificial power wielded by the Uzumaki clan, a power in the Ninjutsu, that is, the power before the Sage of Six Paths created the ninja era."

Tobirama Senju: "You are an excellent ninja."

Tobirama Senju: "What a pity. If only I hadn't made that stupid decision back then... Perhaps I would have been more suited to be your teacher."

Orochimaru: "Second Hokage... it's not too late after the movie ends."

It's obvious that the two had already taken a liking to each other.

"That power...it doesn't feel the same as the ninja system."

Have you ever seen a big fox?

Inside the sealed space, the great fox stood with its arms crossed, deep in thought.

"It feels...unfamiliar, but this fox seems to have seen a similar power before."

"What kind of power?" Naruto's eyes lit up.

His intuition told him that this power was no less than the mysterious sacrificial power of the Uzumaki clan.

"Natural energy, also known as natural chakra."

"It's natural energy in the atmosphere."

"If one can absorb it and combine it with their own chakra, it will form natural chakra."

"This natural chakra...you humans seem to call it Sage Chakra."

"The main source is still the three holy lands."

Naruto was taken aback; he hadn't expected there to be information he hadn't been able to uncover.

"Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, Mt. Myoboku?"

In an instant, Naruto thought of the legendary Sannin.

"Orochimaru, Tsunade... and Jiraiya."

"They seem to each wield the power of one of the three holy lands."

"Communicating with spirits through a contract..."

"Ryuchi Cave is a snake, Shikkotsu Forest is a slug, and Mount Myōboku is a toad."

"What's the connection?"

The large fox pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't know... the old man didn't mention it."

"Furthermore, it seems that the three holy lands have existed since I can remember."

"Very ancient...it can certainly be compared to the priesthood of the Uzumaki clan."

"Sage Chakra...natural energy?" Naruto murmured softly.

"So, are the three holy lands... interconnected?"

Hearing this, the big fox could only sigh helplessly.

[But then, she sensed something was wrong again.]

Why be afraid? Why forget?

【hateful!】

In an instant, all the memories that the great fox had intentionally forgotten were reproduced.

"No, they are not interconnected," the great fox said in a deep voice. "The three holy lands are inherently mutually restraining and restraining each other."

"Each of the three sacred lands has its own Sage Techniques... just like three different types of chakra."

The big fox stated this information very directly.

"And humanity, in its current state, is learning how to extract energy from nature..."

"No, natural energy may appear gentle, but it is actually incredibly violent."

"The same fluid Orochimaru was preparing to inject?" Naruto's eyes lit up.

Orochimaru has given him quite a few surprises.

[He's a remarkable person; perhaps, with continued investigation, there will be many unexpected discoveries.]

Orochimaru: "Hmph hmph~"

Orochimaru: "Naruto with the black-rimmed glasses really knows his stuff~"

"Only when one can tame and balance natural energy within the body, along with spiritual and physical energy, can one be said to have acquired natural energy and transformed it into natural 'chakra.'"

"The three sacred sites are all different... their techniques for absorbing natural energy are also different, and similarly, their methods for maintaining balance are also different."

Naruto murmured, and the giant fox continued, "Hashirama Senju mastered the technique of absorbing natural energy from Shikkotsu Forest... However, that guy was indeed powerful. It's possible that he created his own unique technique for absorbing natural energy, based on Shikkotsu Forest."

"However, the ninja's power system... is different from that of the three holy lands."

"After absorbing natural energy, it balances and merges with the chakra within the ninja's body... thus transforming into Sage Mode."

"Sage Mode?" Naruto paused, the name sounding familiar. Had he read any related historical documents?

"That's right."

"Even Hashirama Senju experienced a significant boost after mastering Sage Mode," the great fox nodded.

"Big fox, can you do that?" Naruto asked instinctively.

"You already have my chakra, why are you even learning Sage Mode?!" The big fox glared at her with her beautiful eyes and retorted fiercely.

Naruto: "..."

"Having many skills is never a burden."

"Besides, when natural energy merges with the chakra within a ninja's body, it becomes Sage Chakra, activating Sage Mode... What if we then merge it with your chakra, Great Fox?"

"What if we add Yin Release and Yang Release chakra as well?"

"Don't you want to beat Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju to the ground and then rub them hard with your claws?"

[The Big Fox: "......"]

What you said makes a lot of sense!

【wrong!】

[Even with my genius, how come I'm being dragged into this cutthroat competition by that blond guy again?]

The human and the fox conversed as if no one else was around.

[A certain person, "walking on thin ice," was left out in the cold.]

[Sas gave: "......"]
