I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

“That makes sense.” The three subordinates agreed.

Manda is the first test, and generally speaking, Manda is so bad that it cheats by eating people as soon as they come over, so it is very difficult for these ninjas to get to them.

Then it would be good to remove Manda.

"But what if the power of nature is lacking..."

The White Snake Sage grinned, revealing his sharp, serpentine teeth, and gave a close-up shot. "Why don't we just steal some from Mount Myōboku next door?"

The three sacred sites are Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest.

There was only one slug in the Wet Bone Forest, so fat it couldn't move. It was also immune to physical attacks and could shoot out corrosive nocturnal particles.

Therefore, it's too difficult to take over its territory.

However, Mount Myoboku is still a good place.

The Great Toad Sage, the leader of Mount Myōboku, is a coward.

The older you get, the more timid you become. And it seems like you focus all your energy on surviving.

"You're so stupid." The White Snake Sage took a leisurely puff of his cigarette. "We just quietly opened a hole in their barrier and sprayed it towards the entrance of Ryuchi Cave."

"This way, outsiders will think that our place is rich in natural energy and very suitable for cultivation."

"So that's why I came in."

“But once they’re in, what’s the point of saying anything more?” the White Snake Immortal said.

“The old man is right.” The three subordinates nodded immediately.

“Today is boring too,” the white fairy said. “I’ll accompany you on this trip.”

"Is Xin Ya still unwilling to come?" the White Snake Immortal asked.

"Yes."

"...Let it be. It will figure it out someday."

"Humans are just food to us. It trusted the ninjas but was betrayed. This is the punishment it has to bear," said the White Snake Sage.

This refers to a junior that it initially thought highly of, but this junior made a contract with a human and was subsequently exploited.

So he angrily returned to Ryuchi Cave.

"However," the three subordinates said curiously, "since humans are our food, why don't we just go out of Ryuchi Cave and eat them?"

"Our strength is certainly not bad, but there are still many strong opponents outside."

"So if we openly eat them, we'll definitely be besieged."

The White Snake Sage said, "When I was very young, I witnessed the Sage of Six Paths and his mother, Princess Kaguya, fighting each other."

"It was because of their appearance that humans changed, gained chakra, became ninjas, and then became our food."

峮彡其①7（二）酒依①⑼

"And every few decades or a hundred years, a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths would appear, piloting some kind of Susanoo, to fight against the Great Buddha."

"These are forces we cannot defeat."

The White Snake Immortal said, "So we're just eating the food of those who come for the trial."

"Anyway, that's the standard we set. They're the ones who fail to meet it and get eaten. What does it have to do with us?"

"There needs to be a rule, and then it needs to be enforced."

"This way, the ninjas from the outside world will have no reason to attack us."

"However, it's good to have fewer scoundrels like Orochimaru."

“Yes.” The three subordinates nodded.

Orochimaru bewitched Manda, and the two became companions. Orochimaru learned a lot in Ryuchi Cave, and even tricked Orochi into giving him away, but he refused to learn Sage Mode no matter what.

It's absolutely infuriating.

Because their rule is that these ninjas have to learn Sage Mode, and if they fail, they will be eaten by them.

They were all waiting for Orochimaru to come and learn from him, only to find out... that guy was just getting it for free.

So, how wonderful it would be if the world had fewer freeloader ninjas like Orochimaru.

As they talked, they arrived at the center of the Myoboku-san and Ryuchi-dong area.

The White Snake Sage lightly pressed down with his two claws, and silvery-white Sage Chakra appeared, forming a ventilation duct that connected to the Ryuchi Cave area and extended to its entrance.

On the other side, it was directly connected to the barrier of Mount Myōboku.

A dark light appeared in the eyes of the White Snake Sage, and a hole immediately appeared in the barrier of Mount Myōboku.

However, it quickly used Sage Chakra to envelop the hole, preventing it from transmitting the message that the hole was damaged.

"Hehe—" the White Snake Immortal chuckled.

Thus, the chakra of the ventilation duct was connected to this cave on Mount Myōboku.

The natural energy level of Ryuchi Cave is only average, but there are many explosions in Mount Myoboku, so stealing a little bit shouldn't be a problem.

then.

They witnessed something they had never seen before.

A hole was opened in the barrier of Mount Myōboku, but the natural power belonging to Ryūchi Cave was instead drawn back to Mount Myōboku.

"...".

Chapter 083 Is Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku Difficult? (Seeking full subscription and data)

Mt. Miaomu.

Perhaps because Kitahara Maple absorbed all the natural energy around her, the beautiful spring scenery of Mount Myōboku, so different from the outside world, quickly faded away.

but.

This predicament was alleviated, or rather, reversed.

Everyone saw the trees turn from withered and yellow back to green.

Life has returned.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: This is the first time I've ever seen a scene of decay and revival.

[Tobirama Senju]: The power of nature... It really is a good thing.

[Tobirama Senju]: I'd like to study this carefully.

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: What an amazing power.

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: Old people are no longer interested in these unknown things.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: If only the immortal mode were easy to learn.

[Tobirama Senju]: @Minato Namikaze, is Sage Mode easy to learn?

[Minato Namikaze]: Sage Mode, huh? I'm not very good at it, but according to Shima, someone comes to Mount Myōboku to learn it roughly every 20 years.

[Minato Namikaze]: However, the probability of learning it is not very high.

[Tobirama Senju]: Well, I'll ask Jiraiya about the specifics later.

With Tobirama's voice, everyone noticed that Jiraiya had arrived beside Kitahara Kaede.

"what……"

Jiraiya seemed to be still shaken.

"So what happened?"

"I feel like it's different from the natural forces around me," Jiraiya said.

He just came from the Great Toad Sage, Gamamaru.

The giant toad sage almost died just now, but then came back to life, which terrified him.

When he was a child, the Great Toad Sage looked just like this, old and frail. Now, forty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Great Toad Sage is still the same. Jiraiya didn't pay any attention to it.

As a result, we almost witnessed the death of the giant toad immortal.

This is very scary.

Can even those who claim to be immortals die?

"It's Jiraiya!" Shima was completely dumbfounded.

In its field of vision, when Kitahara Kaede was cultivating Sage Mode, the surrounding natural power was instantly devoured by him, but now... it seems to have calmed down again.

so……

Was what it just saw an illusion?

"It should be nothing serious...々ˇ..."

"Hmm... there must still be something going on."

"That's what Master Shima said."

Because it found that the concentration of the surrounding environment and natural forces was still relatively diluted.

If the initial amount of natural energy in Mount Myōboku was 10, then what we encountered just now was 0, and now it has returned to 3.

However, this number 3 seems unstable and is about to fall outwards.

"..." Shima Sennin.

The density of natural energy in the ordinary ninja world outside of Mount Myōboku is 2.

And now there are only 3 here...

This is a huge problem!

Shima Sennin clapped his hands.

"I still need to go see the ancestors."

“I was just instructing Kitahara Kaede on how to cultivate Sage Mode,” said Shima Sage.

Jiraiya then noticed that Kitahara Kaede was sitting on a sharp platform and maintaining her balance.

"Hmm..." Jiraiya paused for a moment. "So, the current situation means... Kitahara Kaede has already mastered Sage Mode?"

Jiraiya himself had trained in Sage Mode and knew that this mode required absorbing the surrounding natural energy from the very beginning.

So... what we just saw might actually be someone absorbing the power of nature.

“Actually, I haven’t grasped it yet,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"..." Jiraiya.

"Then try linking the power of nature with your own chakra system," Shima instructed.

because.

If you absorb so much natural power, and then you can't even activate Sage Mode, wouldn't that be... wouldn't that be a huge loss?

"Is it……"

Kitahara Kaede closed his eyes, and everyone noticed that a unique power emanated from his body, making him glow with golden light.

The corners of his eyes and eyelids were stained orange, just like the toads.

His body seemed to be bathed in an orange-gold glow, which enveloped him and made every inch of his skin shimmer.

The excess light gathered on his body, forming a handsome and imposing divine robe.

"feel……"

Kitahara Kaede said, "Speed, strength, and chakra capacity have all improved."

“And this is Sage Mode!” Jiraiya said. “This is the effect you get after activating Sage Mode.”

Jiraiya's tone was slightly sarcastic.

Yes, it's very sour.
