Mt. Miaomu.
On the open space behind the mountain.
Surrounded by a circle of giant toad statues.
There is a cliff near the mountain wall, and orange-yellow liquid flows from the top of the cliff and accumulates in the pool below.
"Senior Minato, is this the place where you practice sage mode?"
Uchiha Makoto looked around. He didn't feel any natural energy, but he just felt that the air around him was particularly fresh.
"Yes!" Namikaze Minato nodded.
Uchiha Makoto mentioned the Sage Mode to Namikaze Minato. After sensing Uchiha Makoto's chakra, Namikaze Minato readily agreed directly.
In other words, if it weren't for the dangers in practicing in sage mode, Namikaze Minato would have wanted to teach Uchiha Makoto.
After all, he even taught Uchiha Makoto the flying thunder god technique without any secret.
"Makoto, please wait here while I go find Master Fukasaku to explain Sage Mode to you.
Jiraiya-sensei and I both learned Sage Mode from Fukasaku-sama.
It's just that I rarely use Sage Mode due to chakra issues.
So if you are not proficient enough, it is much better to let Fukasaku-sama teach you than me teaching you. "
Namikaze water gate.
"Yes!" Uchiha Makoto nodded.
"By the way, Cheng! Never touch the toad oil in the pool."
Before leaving, Namikaze Minato warned with a serious expression.
"Yes!" Uchiha Makoto replied solemnly.
He stood obediently, waiting for Namikaze Minato.
Uchiha Makoto didn't know much about the plot details of the Sage Mode training in the original work.
All we know is that Naruto practiced sage mode at Mt. Myoboku, and Kabuto Yakushi learned sage mode at Ryuji Cave.
In addition, Senju Hashirama's sage mode is suspected to be obtained from the Shiggou Forest as soon as he closes his hands.
As for the corresponding effects, he has a full understanding of them.
After all, the battles involving immortal mode are very exciting.
The most handsome thing is the scene where Naruto uses Sage Mode to fight Pain of the Six Paths.
According to Uchiha Makoto's understanding, different sage modes focus on different things.
Myobokuyama's Sage Mode involves all-round strengthening.
The more intuitive ones are physique, strength, ninjutsu, taijutsu, illusion, chakra, speed, reaction, perception, etc.
As for the Immortal Mode of Ryūchi Cave, it should mainly involve spiritual power and the increase of Yin Escape Chakra.
The Immortal Mode of Shigu Forest involves the physical and vitality aspects, as well as the increase of Yang Escape Chakra.
Miaomushan's immortal mode is relatively "moderate" and is an all-round enhancement.
The increase in each aspect is equivalent to the other two immortal modes, which are not particularly outstanding, but combined they are very powerful.
The sage modes of Ryūchi Cave and Shigu Forest are more extreme, with one yin and one yang, the increase is extremely obvious, and is suitable for specific ninja training.
Senju Hashirama itself is at the level of Zahela. After using the sage mode, the "immortal method·True thousands of hands·Let you have two hands·True number 998 hands" will appear.
And just after Appear said, "Kyuubi, you are too strong", then Zhen Qianqian grabbed Kyuubi in the palm of his hand like a chicken.
At the beginning, all the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world were captured by Senju Hashirama, and then he assigned them to the other four ninja villages.
Originally, Senju Hashirama wanted to give it away for free, but it was his younger brother Senju Tobirama's strong request that led to him accepting some symbolic money.
Therefore, if there is a situation of "Five Villages Fighting" in the Ninja World today, Senju Hashirama is also responsible.
Thinking about it this way, Uchiha Makoto actually sympathizes with Kyuubi.
Originally living a good life in the wild, he was suddenly caught by someone much stronger than himself. He then said that it was too strong and needed to be sealed, so he caught it with his backhand. The other tailed beasts were also miserable, and they were packed and sold to others. nation.
Then he was sealed in the body from the Uzumaki Mito era, and now he is living a peaceful old age in Uchiha Makoto's body.
"Makoto!"
Namikaze Minato appeared again, and next to him was an old toad in a cloak, who was the Fukasaku Sage he saw last time.
"Lord Fukasaku." Uchiha Makoto saluted respectfully.
Fukasaku looked hesitant and said, "Minato? Are you sure you want him to practice sage mode?
You should have explained to him the risks of practicing the Immortal Mode, right? "
"Yes? Fukasaku-sama." Namikaze Minato said seriously.
Fukasaku looked at Uchiha Makoto and said, "When the Great Toad Sage woke up, he said that your future has unlimited possibilities.
Since both Jiraiya and Minato believe in you? Even if you are not a contractor of Mt. Myoboku? I believe in you.
I can teach you the sage mode, but in the process of practice? You must follow the steps I require.
Once I feel there is danger, you must stop immediately.
If that's okay with you? Then we can start now. "
Hearing this, Uchiha Makoto nodded and said, "Yes! Master Fukasaku, I will obey your request during the training process.
After all, I won’t joke with my own life! "
Uchiha Makoto would naturally obey Fukasaku's request.
After all, everything it said was for Uchiha Makoto's life safety.
This is the difference between Mt. Myoboku and Ryuji-dong.
If it's Ryūchi Cave, even if the other party is willing to teach the sage mode? Uchiha Makoto doesn't dare to learn it now.
After all, snake creatures are cold-blooded creatures themselves? They are selfish and cold, and rarely care about the life and death of their contractors.
The toad of Miaomu Mountain is one of the most docile and peaceful psychic beasts, and has no obvious hostility towards humans.
Speaking of which, if you want to learn the sage mode, Uchiha Makoto is actually more interested in the sage mode of the Shiggou Forest.
The immortal mode of Shigulin involves vitality and Yang escape? The requirements should be higher.
After he learns the sage mode of Miaomu Mountain and becomes proficient in it, he can make some plans.
After all, Tsunade is a contemporary contractor of the Shiggy Bone Forest and a person from Konoha? With Tsunade's relationship with Jiraiya, there will still be a great chance in the future.
Namikaze Minato is in power in Konoha now? There is no problem in recalling Tsunade now.
What's more important? The slugs in the wet bone forest are also representatives of docile psychic beasts.
On the contrary, Ryuji Cave's Sage Mode is dispensable to Uchiha Makoto.
Whether it's mental power or Yin Escape, he has ways to enhance and master it.
For the sake of the immortal mode of Longdi Cave, it is not worth his risk for the time being.
"Now that you are ready, sit down and listen to me tell you what the Immortal Mode is. You can only start practicing if you understand the concept of the Immortal Mode."
Fukasaku was considered to have a very good temper among the toads of Mt. Myoboku, and he was one of the two great immortals. He was able to get his professor because of his relationship with Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato.
Uchiha Makoto naturally sat down very obediently, waiting for Mr. Fukasaku's lecture.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze also sat next to Uchiha Makoto.
He recalled the days when he followed Master Jiraiya to practice at Mt. Miaomu.
Time flies so fast.
In the blink of an eye, he has become the fourth generation Hokage, and now he brings his half disciple Uchiha Makoto to Mt. Myoboku to learn the sage mode.
"The so-called sage mode is not a ninjutsu. To be precise, it is a state of using senjutsu."
"The combination of physical energy and spiritual energy forms chakra. On this basis, natural energy is added to form a more powerful chakra, which is the senjutsu chakra."
"Body energy, mental energy plus natural energy. The art formed by using these three powers is immortal art. This state is also called the immortal mode."
"If you want to absorb natural energy, you must first integrate with nature, sense the natural energy, and then attract it into your body and control its ingress and egress at will. This way you can use natural energy."
"The first thing to do is not to move, that is..."
Fukasaku explained to Uchiha Makoto the concept of sage mode, training methods, and precautions in detail.
Seeing Uchiha Makoto listening to its explanation attentively, Fukasaku nodded secretly in his mind.
In his long life, Fukasaku has seen many geniuses.
When many people talk about learning the immortal mode, they want to start right away.
Many talented people become one of the many stone statues because they were not careful enough at the beginning and thought that they would be able to learn the immortal mode if they were talented.
As a teacher, Fukasaku naturally explains in as much detail as possible every time, but there are always people who don't pay enough attention.
Seeing Uchiha Makoto's attitude, Fukasaku was a little more confident that he could learn Sage Mode.
Then, it recounted some of the slightly verbose details one by one.
"Cheng, having said so much, you have to rely on yourself now. I will try my best to help you!"
Fukasaku just explained the details of cultivation in sage mode for more than half an hour.
Uchiha Makoto naturally listened patiently.
Although Namikaze Minato has learned it, he still stays by Uchiha Makoto's side.
"Yes!" Uchiha Makoto stood up, feeling a little nervous. After all, there is a first time for everything. Only when you become familiar with the road in the future will you get used to it.
"The back mountain is the place with the richest natural energy in the entire Miaomu Mountain, and it is also the most suitable place for practicing the sage mode.
You will practice here in the future, but it contains toad oil, which contains highly concentrated natural energy.
When practicing for the first time, you'd better stay away from there to avoid being disturbed by the spilled toad oil. "
Fukasaku pointed at the pool of toad oil behind him and warned.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Makoto came to the farthest place from the pond, where a large number of giant toad stone statues gathered.
"Let's get started." Fukasaku reminded, it and Namikaze Minato were standing next to Uchiha Makoto.
Uchiha Makoto nodded, took off his jacket and pants, sat cross-legged in only shorts, and then closed his eyes.
Because there was a precedent for entering the sealed space before, Uchiha Makoto quickly calmed down and let his body and mind completely relax.
Fukasaku and Minato Namikaze were looking at Uchiha Makoto with tense expressions.
Fukasaku held a long wooden stick in the shape of a ruler in his hand. It was a magical weapon passed down from generation to generation in Miaomu Mountain. It could draw out the natural energy in the body of the practitioner.
This is also the reason why the sage mode practice in Miaomu Mountain has the highest success rate.
On the one hand, the sage mode of Miaomu Mountain is relatively peaceful compared to the other two, and on the other hand, it is assisted by Fukasaku's hand-held magic weapon.
Of course, not many people get this kind of treatment, it mainly depends on the relationship.
For those practitioners who are too impatient, even with the help of magical instruments, it is of no use.
When Jiraiya was practicing Sage Mode, he studied it off and on for almost three years.
And Namikaze Minato was extremely talented, so it took him more than half a year.
To learn the Immortal Mode, if you want to meditate and be 'immobile', you must be 'not impatient' from a psychological level. If you are always eager to learn it, you are most likely to cause problems.
Uchiha Makoto continued to refine chakra as usual.
He didn't think about anything, and his breathing gradually became smooth and slow, and then became slower and slower until the rise and fall of his chest was indiscernible.
At this time, the Nine-Tails in Uchiha Makoto's body felt the changes around him, and his eyes changed.
Then it began to converge the overflowing sealed chakra, minimizing the impact of its own chakra on Uchiha Makoto.
After an unknown amount of time, the natural energy overflowing in the air began to slowly gather towards Uchiha Makoto.
"coming!"
Fukasaku was shocked and looked at each other with Namikaze Minato, both of their eyes filled with shock.
It's just that they were afraid of disturbing Uchiha Makoto, so they didn't dare to say anything.
In just three hours, Uchiha Makoto felt the natural energy and tried to absorb it. This talent is so terrifying!
Kaka!
"Huh? No!"
Uchiha Makoto, who was trying to absorb natural energy, suddenly felt his heart sink.
Just after he successfully absorbed a ray of natural energy, there was a slight fluctuation in his heart, and the process of absorbing natural energy suddenly caused an accident.
He felt that his shoulders and arms suddenly became extremely stiff, and the flow of chakra became obscured.
At this time, from the perspective of Fukasaku and Namikaze Minato, a small gray-white dot suddenly appeared on Uchiha Makoto's exposed right shoulder.
The small dots spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon his entire right shoulder underwent inhuman changes. His skin was gray and became as hard as rock.
Uchiha Makoto immediately released [Mercury]
[Mercury is released, the host is immune to all controls, and negative effects are eliminated]
[Mercury is taking effect...Countdown to 10...]
Just when Fukasaku raised his magic weapon high and was about to hit Uchiha Makoto's shoulder hard to knock out the excessive natural energy accumulated in his body.
Uchiha Makoto's petrification that had extended to his right arm suddenly stopped, and then returned to normal at a faster speed.
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Makoto's arms and shoulders returned to their normal color.
At this time, Uchiha Makoto seized the ten seconds and began to feel the trace of natural energy absorbed into his body, and continued to absorb the natural energy overflowing in the air.
The ten seconds passed quickly, and Uchiha Makoto did not continue to absorb natural energy. He slowly opened his eyes.
Fukasaku and Minato Namikaze looked at him with strange expressions.
"Fukasaku-sama, Minato-senpai, why are you looking at me like this?" Uchiha Makoto asked in confusion.
Fukasaku said with curiosity and surprise:
“I have never seen a human like you who can control natural energy after practicing Immortal Mode for the first time.
Even among our toads in Mount Miaomu, there are very few who can use celestial magic.
I just prepared to use Miaomu Mountain's inherited magic weapon to bring out the natural energy in your body.
I didn’t expect you to regain control of the natural energy when it was out of control.
I am sure that you will be able to learn the immortal mode! "
Namikaze Minato also nodded repeatedly, pointed at the magic weapon in Fukasaku's hand and said:
"When I was practicing Immortal Mode, I got beaten a lot."
"I don't know, it just feels good!" Uchiha Makoto smiled.
"Remember this feeling and continue!" Fukasaku reminded.
Uchiha Makoto closed his eyes again and gradually slowed down his biological flow.
As he relaxed his body and mind again, he soon felt the natural energy around him again.
Under Uchiha Makoto's powerful mental power, he felt faint spots of light appearing around him.
“Are these all natural energies?”
At this time, Uchiha Makoto suddenly had a thought in his heart.
His Kaleidoscope Eye Technique [Control] can theoretically control everything within the range of space, but does that also include natural energy?
Thinking of this, he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
At first, he didn't dare to be too aggressive and only covered a five-meter radius.
Under his perception, the natural energy within five meters quickly gathered towards him under the control of [Control].
This time, before the natural energy goes awry.
Uchiha Makoto releases [Mercury] early
[Mercury is released, the host is immune to all controls, and negative effects are eliminated]
[Mercury is taking effect...Countdown to 10...]
"Is this... natural energy quickly gathering here? What on earth is this boy..."
Fukasaku was shocked to find that the gathering speed of the surrounding natural energy was somewhat abnormal.
However, Uchiha Makoto's body did not show any abnormal changes.
And under Fukasaku's perception, the natural energy in Uchiha Makoto's body has gathered to an exaggerated level.
Senjutsu Chakra is a combination of natural energy, physical energy, and spiritual energy. The natural energy in Uchiha Makoto's body at this time is nearly one-twentieth of the way to refining Senjutsu Chakra.
One-twentieth, which seems like nothing at first glance, but Uchiha Makoto has only been practicing for less than an afternoon.
Fukasaku remembered that among the practitioners recorded in Mount Myoki, the fastest one took nearly three months to learn the sage mode.
According to Uchiha Makoto's progress, it might take less than two months to learn the sage mode.
[......0, mercury duration ends]
Just when Fukasaku was shocked, the [Mercury] time ended, and Uchiha Makoto immediately stopped using [Control] to absorb natural energy.
However, the natural energy accumulated in his body had long exceeded the limit for beginners, and his body quickly became petrified.
Fukasaku was shocked when he saw this.
This time it didn't hesitate at all, and hit Uchiha Makoto's back hard.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, and a deep red mark was left on Uchiha Makoto's fair back.
"Hiss~"
Uchiha Makoto took a breath, his body twisted, and his hands covered the place where he was hit behind his back.
The reason why he dared to take the bold risk just now was naturally because he had [mercury] and Fukasaku Sennin had a magic weapon.
Overall, this attempt was very rewarding.
From now on, he will have at least 20 seconds every day to absorb and appreciate natural energy without any scruples.
In this way, his progress in practicing the immortal mode will be faster.
It’s no use just knowing the immortal mode, you still have to master it proficiently.
After Uchiha Makoto learns it, he will not put the Sage Mode on the shelf and use it as a trump card.
Practice more when you have nothing to do, wait until you are proficient in the process of absorbing natural energy, slowly improve your physical fitness, and develop in the direction of adapting to natural energy.
According to Uchiha Makoto's estimation, those who possess the full [Madman Armor] will not be inferior to the vast majority of Senju and Uzumaki clan members in terms of vitality and resilience.
It can't compare to a pervert like Senju Hashirama.
But as long as his physique and vitality continue to increase, and he becomes proficient in using Yang Escape in the future, he will reach the level of the Immortal Human Body sooner or later.
Improving physical fitness with natural energy is a long-term process.
Now that the practice of immortal mode has been put on the agenda, all aspects must be considered.
"As a beginner, you have done very well!" Fukasaku exclaimed, "But you still have to be careful during the practice of sage mode. Don't absorb so much natural energy next time!"
"Yes! I was careless!"
Uchiha Makoto admits his mistake, of course he will definitely dare to do this again next time he practices.
After all, there is double insurance, and it is naturally best to learn as early as possible.
As long as he does it a dozen more times, he will definitely be able to master the trick of controlling natural energy.
"Yes." Fukasaku nodded, not saying much about Uchiha Makoto's rare talent.
Uchiha Makoto did very well just now, but he absorbed too much natural energy at the last moment.
"It's almost time, let's go eat something first, and then continue practicing. After all, you have to fill your stomach to have strength."
Fukasaku touched Kong Kong's belly. Although it was Uchiha Makoto who practiced the sage mode, he had been watching Uchiha Makoto with all his attention for several hours, which was still very mentally draining.
"Yes." Uchiha Makoto nodded subconsciously.
"Um...I'm not hungry yet, Fukasaku-sama, Makoto, I suddenly remembered that I still have some official business to deal with, so I'm going back first."
Namikaze Minato suddenly turned pale and his facial muscles twitched slightly, as if he thought of something very scary.
"Minato-senpai, how did you..."
Uchiha Makoto looked at Namikaze Minato with a puzzled look on his face, and suddenly came to his senses.
What he is talking about here is Mount Miaomu!
What can toads eat?
Bugs!
Still steamed and boiled.
"Minato-senpai, I'm with you... I'm a bastard!"
Before Uchiha Makoto finished speaking, Namikaze Minato disappeared in front of him.
"Makoto! Let's go to dinner together!" Fukasaku Sennin patted Uchiha Makoto's shoulder and showed a kind smile.
"Okay...okay!"
...
Half an hour later.
Uchiha Makoto held up the empty bowl and said:
"Shima-sama, have another bowl!"
"Good! What a lovable human boy!"
Shima Sennin was smiling all over his face, and nothing made him happier than affirming his cooking skills.
Uchiha Makoto smacked his mouth.
This is really strange, the smell of this bug, it is really a magical feeling.
The boiled bugs were mixed with the chili powder, pepper, ketchup, sweet noodle sauce and other seasonings he brought with him. Uchiha Makoto actually thought they tasted pretty good!
I don’t know if there’s something wrong with him, or there’s something wrong with his mother’s usual cooking.
...
A month and a half later.
Mt. Miaomu.
Back mountain.
Uchiha Makoto sat cross-legged next to the toad oil pond.
Orange eye shadow slowly appeared in the corners of his eyes, his face showed signs of partial frogization, and some ugly fleshy bumps appeared on the fair skin of his upper body.
After a while, Uchiha Makoto opened his eyes and took out a small mirror from the system backpack.
His eyes had turned into toad-like horizontal pupils, and the orange eyeshadow in the corners of his eyes proved that he had initially completed his immortal transformation.
However, the fleshy bumps on his face and body indicate that his immortal mode is still far from reaching the level of perfect immortality.
Of course, compared to the sage mode used by Jiraiya in the original work, his partial frog transformation is not very obvious.
Uchiha Makoto came to a row of giant toad statues.
He leaned down and hugged the feet of a toad statue, and then lifted it up with all his strength. He saw a giant toad statue the size of a hill being lifted easily by him.
"If this punch continues, I'm afraid Jesus won't be able to keep him."
Uchiha Makoto gently placed the giant toad statue in its place and glanced at his ordinary fist.
"It's exactly what I predicted. I learned the immortal mode in less than two months. It's scary!"
Fukasaku looked at Uchiha Makoto blankly.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Fukasaku still felt incredible after Uchiha Makoto actually did something that no one before him had done.
