I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 217 and 218: A Mount Myoboku on Your Person

The ocean is a good place for spiritual practice!

Uchiha Naruto, covered in bluish-purple snake scales, was exceptionally good at swimming. He swam hundreds of meters across the seabed in one go, like a dragon entering the ocean.

Compared to Yoyogi Park, the natural energy at the bottom of Wakasa Bay is more abundant, which greatly accelerated Naruto Uchiha's progress in cultivating to become a Sage.

However, correspondingly, the frequency and speed of natural energy imbalances have also increased.

Compared to the panic he felt when he lost control for the first time, Naruto Uchiha is now fearless and calmly feels the natural energy flowing through his limbs and bones.

"Gurgle gurgle—"

Several bubbles escaped from Naruto Uchiha's mouth. He stroked the scales on his cheek with his claw-like hands, a hint of curiosity flashing in his vertical pupils.

"The natural energy in the ocean is no different from the natural energy in the forests on land. I thought that if I cultivated immortality in the sea and lost my balance, I would turn into a toad..."

In the Naruto world, only the three sacred lands possess the legacy of Sage Mode.

These are Mount Myoboku, Jiryu Cave, and Shikotsu Forest.

After failing to cultivate into an immortal, the animal one transforms into is also different.

After failing to train at Mount Myōboku, one will turn into a toad and eventually become a toad statue that remains forever at Toad Oil Waterfall; if one fails to train at the Earth Dragon Cave, one will turn into a snake and be swallowed by the White Snake Sage before turning into stone; as for Shikkotsu Forest, it is currently unknown.

Before Naruto Uchiha went into the sea, he wondered if the natural energy in the ocean would be different from that on land.

Then it turns into a snake on land and a toad in the sea.

This allows you to have two different Sage Modes.

It seems that we were too naive now. The changes in form after becoming an immortal are not related to the environment, but to the individual's constitution.

The Uchiha clan, who possess the Sharingan, can transform into Yin Release forms after awakening it. Perhaps for this reason, Naruto Uchiha's Sage Mode is similar to the snake form from the Earth Dragon Cave.

On second thought, although toads are amphibians and cannot live without water, there are no types that can live in the sea. Even cane toads are just tadpoles that can live in seawater.

Conversely, sea snakes are a member of the snake family.

However, like sea serpents that breathe with lungs, although he could hold his breath for an extremely long time, Naruto Uchiha could not breathe freely underwater.

That's about it. I can feel the oxygen in my lungs gradually decreasing to the critical point.

Naruto Uchiha used the sharp claw on his left index finger to prick a little blood in his right palm.

Next, put your hands together.

"Spiritual communication!"

A gray toad the size of a palm was summoned by Uchiha Naruto.

The gray toad hopped around in the seawater a few times and opened its mouth towards Uchiha Naruto.

Naruto Uchiha swam forward with the supple grace of a sea serpent, his entire body disappearing into the mouth of the gray toad, which could barely accommodate a fist.

"call."

Upon entering, Naruto Uchiha took a long breath.

Inside the gray toad's belly was a hidden world, a bedroom of about ten square meters, furnished exactly like Uchiha Naruto's own room.

Naruto Uchiha used Fukasaku's staff to remove the aftereffects of the imbalance of natural energy.

The snake scales all over its body had fallen off, revealing smooth skin. Its cold, vertical pupils, slender tongue, and claws had also returned to their original state.

"Sage Mode is really dangerous. If it weren't for the items dropped from the Myoboku Mountain Secret Realm dungeon, I really wouldn't dare to try training in Sage Mode."

Naruto Uchiha pulled over a chair and sat down, then took a snow-white towel from the wall rack and dried his wet hair.

After drying his hair, Uchiha Naruto suddenly raised his elbow and sniffed it under his nose.

"No, the salt in the seawater forms salt crystals that stick to my skin, and it also has that characteristic fishy smell. Forget it, I'll just take a shower."

Naruto Uchiha opened the door again, took a shower in the bathroom next door, and then hummed a little tune as he returned to his bedroom.

"This is really convenient. The 'World-Seeking Toad' can transform into various buildings at will based on my chakra. The alternate dimension inside its stomach can also change accordingly."

Naruto Uchiha's gaze fell on a white scroll, more than an arm's length long, placed on the desk.

The Spirit Communication Contract of the Toad of Mount Myoboku!

This is the golden legendary item he got when he had a stroke of luck opening a treasure chest in the Myoboku Secret Realm dungeon.

Naruto Uchiha unfurled a summoning scroll on the table: "Jiraiya," "Minato Namikaze," "Naruto Uzumaki"...

In the last column, the name "Uchiha Naruto" and his bloody fingerprint were clearly visible.

Jiraiya can also use some very strange toad-related ninjutsu, such as the Toad Mouth Binding Technique, which summons the stomach wall of the Myoboku Rock Toad to devour the enemy, or the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique, which hides in the shadows and controls the enemy's movements, etc.

The most obvious example is that when Jiraiya faced a powerful enemy, he often summoned the toads of Mount Myōboku as auxiliary fighting forces.

Fukasaku and Shima can even help Jiraiya enter Sage Mode.

Through this summoning contract, Naruto Uchiha can summon the toads of Mount Myōboku into the real world.

However, with Naruto's current LV3 summoning jutsu, he can only summon the three brothers Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro at most, and cannot summon Fukasaku or Shima.

However, Naruto Uchiha has yet to meet his match and is not lacking in combat power, so he is not in a hurry to summon them.

On the contrary, Naruto Uchiha was more interested in some of the support-type toads in Mount Myōboku.

For example, the Toad Who Can See the World can use the Toad Concealment Technique and the Toad Who Can See the World Technique.

Jiraiya hid inside the stomach of the Toad of the World and infiltrated Amegakure. Using the Toad of the World Technique, he transformed the village into an inn and tricked two Amegakure ninjas into the Toad of the World's stomach.

For Naruto Uchiha, the Toad of the World was extremely convenient, essentially allowing him to carry around a small world, an inner universe-like alternate dimension.

You can rest and recharge inside at any time.

When needed, it can also be transformed into a one-stop service for movie theaters, restaurants, and love hotels.

Naruto Uchiha comfortably stayed inside the toad's belly, controlling it to swim towards its predetermined destination.

His target this time is the evil spirit codenamed Type B-07.

After searching through all the classified files and documents at the Metropolitan Police Department, Naruto Uchiha obtained the exact coordinates of the locations of all the evil spirits discovered by the Metropolitan Police Department to date.

It will have to be resolved sooner or later.

It was precisely for this reason that Naruto Uchiha readily accepted Aunt Nami's invitation to participate in the three-day, two-night mermaid festival tour in Kohama City, Wakasa Bay.

After swimming more than ten nautical miles in the sea, the toad saw a lone, sunken ship come into view.
