Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"The time is almost right, it's time to begin."

Night falls.

Naruto left a wooden clone at home, while his real body went to the waterfall where he usually trained.

"Absorb!"

After once again absorbing a bit of nourishment from the surrounding trees.

After making them aware of the surrounding noises, they closed their eyes.

The training to absorb natural chakra begins.

No, it should be said that the training for Sage Mode has begun!

After adjusting your physical condition.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Sharingan!

Take off your clothes and take a deep breath.

call out--

One-handed hand seal.

In the next instant, Naruto's entire back turned into wood at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, flowers and leaves sprouted all over its back.

It's like a piece of wood containing countless nutrients, from which all sorts of plants grow.

Then, the nutrients it absorbed flowed into a small sapling on its back.

The sapling grew rapidly and soon transformed into a human-shaped piece of wood, which fell at Naruto's feet.

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it transformed into Naruto's appearance.

First attempt, White's rare wooden clone—success!

"Very good. It was worth it to fully master and understand the Shadow Clone Technique by taking advantage of Uchiha Shisui's comprehension."

"After spending so much time researching, we have finally succeeded in creating a clone that contains countless natural forces."

Naruto nodded with some relief.

This wooden clone doesn't need to be like a shadow clone.

Instead of distributing chakra evenly, it is entirely replaced by nutrients absorbed from the trees.

In every aspect, it is stronger than the Shadow Clone Technique, and it is also superior to the Wood Clone Technique developed by Hashirama Senju.

This is because this white, rare wooden clone can replenish its own nutrients and has the ability to convert them into chakra.

He can even use Naruto's own bloodline limit.

The Sharingan, the undeveloped Uzumaki body, and the Adamantine Chains.

Even if attacked, as long as one can still move and the power of nature remains, one can continue fighting until death.

Moreover, the characteristics of the shadow clones are still there.

After the ninjutsu is dispelled and the body is restored, the memories and experiences will return.

"Although your wood clone is not as powerful as my original body, you are a wood clone created from pure natural forces."

"Theoretically, it also carries the scent of the Forest Fruit, so absorbing natural energy should not cause petrification or rejection. In fact, it should be very compatible with natural energy."

"If you weren't my wood clone, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time detecting you without any malicious intent."

"Then, I'll leave the task of absorbing natural energy to cultivate Immortal Mode to you."

"Leave it to me."

The white, unique wooden clone sat cross-legged on the ground, closed its eyes, and began to absorb the natural energy of nature.

"Try to fuse your own physical and mental energy, but don't convert it into chakra. Instead, integrate the natural energy you've absorbed into it."

"If we succeed, we can try to see if we can directly use nutrients to fuse with natural energy and convert it into natural chakra."

After saying that, Naruto put one hand on the wooden clone's shoulder.

The body's physical and mental energy is transferred there.

The Wood Clone does not possess these two qualities, but it can absorb and transform nutrients.

Soon, under Naruto's guidance, the natural energy was successfully absorbed into the Wood Split's body.

It's a gentle force, not a violent energy.

This might be because the wood clone has a hint of the aura of a forest fruit.

Rumbling--

At that moment, physical energy, mental energy, and natural energy merged together.

The process is not complicated.

In the blink of an eye, a massive amount of energy erupted from Wood's body, completely incomparable to the refined chakra.

This unfamiliar chakra completely overwhelmed the chakra extracted from the physical body.

It worked!

No petrification!

This is natural chakra!

When this natural chakra is unleashed, it becomes Sage Chakra.

sizzle-

At this moment, Bai Jueban's wooden clone also changed.

In an instant, his body was covered with dense plants.

Flowers, grasses, trees, vines, and branches.

At the same time, the clone's face also changed.

A light green eyeshadow appeared, a facial makeup only seen in the Sage Mode.

Naruto could feel that the trees around him were becoming more intimate with him, and many of them even submitted to him directly.

Shortly after the appearance of the clone mask, the Sage Chakra within his body returned to calm and reached a state of balance.

All the plants on the body's surface have returned to the body.

The clone stood up, a hint of joy on its face.

"The body is balanced. The balance point for the existence of Sage Chakra within the body has been found."

"This Sage Chakra can also be used on plants, and... I feel like I can use this vibrant Sage Chakra to heal most injuries and illnesses!"

"There are so many wonderful aspects!"

Naruto smiled and said, "I succeeded. It's a Sage Mode that's even more advanced than Hashirama Senju's and Gamabunta's."

But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could natural energy reject someone like him, a user of the Mori-Mori Fruit who controls the highest level of natural power?

"Thanks a lot."

"They're all on our side."

The clone smiled faintly as well, and then put his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

In an instant, Naruto's shoulder transformed into an elemental form.

The clones returned to the original body like liquid wood.

The next instant, a surge of powerful Sage Chakra flowed into his body.

The memories and experiences related to the clone were also integrated.

"I see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto's Sage Mode face also appeared on his face.

whoosh-

The next instant, Naruto used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of a large tree that he had pierced through with his Rasengan.

He stretched out his hand, and the Sage Chakra within his body gathered in his palm.

My palm is pressed against the big tree.

Sage Chakra is continuously being poured in.

The large hole in the tree trunk quickly healed!

"Such strong vitality."

Naruto was slightly startled.

My speed also experienced an explosive increase.

Furthermore, with the nourishment of Sage Chakra, the Sharingan awakened into the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

"An unexpected bonus: I now have Sharingan with two tomoe in each eye."

"Ha...this powerful feeling, is this Sage Mode?"

"This ordinary punch is probably comparable to my monstrous strength."

"hiss--"

"Such strong sensory abilities; they can sense even the trees within the Konoha area."

"The Sage Mode unique to the Forest Fruit."

With a thought, Naruto exited Sage Mode.

At the same time, another wooden clone of Bai Juban was created.

"Absorb nutrients, merge with natural energy, and see if I can enter immortal mode."

"If that works, then clones can enter Sage Mode on their own in the future."

His Sage Mode is different from that of Mount Myōboku.

Therefore, I can't be sure if it will succeed.

However, when he actually used the clone, he was shocked.

Utilize the natural chakra at the fusion of nutrients and natural energy.

The clone directly entered another immortal mode.

The body transformed into a wooden form, and the hair turned into vines.

Moreover, the body can freely change its shape.

For example, hands can grow longer, or they can be disguised as a large tree, and so on.

"The Sage Mode that utilizes nutrients and natural energy is more like the Sage Mode of the Forest Fruit."

"The first one will be named the Natural Immortal Mode."

"The second one will be named Sensen the Immortal Mode."

Naruto smiled. At this moment, although he was not truly invincible, he had definitely reached the level of a Kage.

"After the night of the genocide, I can improve several more levels."

Everything went so smoothly.

"I can start training with the Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken now that I'm in Sage Mode."

So Naruto created another White Zetsuki clone.

Infuse it with physical and mental energy to allow it to enter a natural immortal mode.

"I almost forgot, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is too noisy."

"Look, someone brought me a pillow just when I was feeling sleepy."

Naruto's lips curled slightly; he was genuinely happy.

"Huh? Why did he suddenly stop moving?"

Dozens of meters away from where Naruto was training, a white head suddenly appeared on a large tree.

It looked at Naruto and his motionless clone after he entered Sage Mode with a puzzled expression.

"What a strange brat. Oh well, that ninjutsu looks pretty amazing. Never mind that for now, the most important thing is to go back and tell the original owner."

The white, spore-like head slowly sank and merged into the tree.

Suddenly, an unprecedented force of obstruction appeared.

The white figure could only temporarily reach the ground.

"Huh?"

Why is it pinched like this?

"Could it be that that brat found me?"

"That's impossible, it doesn't make sense."

"My Mayfly Technique is a top-tier stealth ninjutsu in the ninja world."

"Even sensory ninjas cannot easily detect my presence."

"I... Ah~!"

puff--

Just as the white figure was scratching its head in confusion.

A giant carnivorous plant appeared behind it at some unknown time.

It swallowed the still-chattering white figure whole.

Only its head was showing.

"What...what's going on?!"

Naruto teleported to the man-eating flower and looked at the white head with a terrified expression.

"I didn't expect to gain so much from today's unexpected events."

"They have acquired the skills of mayfly and disguise."

"It will be much more convenient to do things in the future."

"Thank you for the gifts of nature."

White Zetsu: "No! No... Ah~!"
