Chapter 234 Sage Mode, a Shocking Debut
"Does entering Sage Mode really require this much trouble?" Kakashi Hatake sighed. He also had some thoughts about Sage Mode. After reaching Kage level, in addition to consolidating his strength, how to take it a step further became a major problem for him.
The only feasible way to advance from Kage level to Strong Kage level right now is through Sage Mode.
It seems that while Sage Mode is good, it requires a long preparation time in advance.
However, it's not entirely without a way to overcome this. For example, you could bring more people to help buy time, which would be a viable solution.
He was also very much looking forward to seeing how strong he would become once he entered the immortal state.
"Is Sage Mode really that complicated?" Tsunade couldn't help but frown. She seemed to remember seeing her great-grandfather use Sage Mode when she was little.
Although I was young then, I don't remember it very clearly.
However, it's definitely not that difficult. Basically, you can enter Sage Mode just by shouting a sentence.
Is it because the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myoboku is different?
She saw Jiraiya in the video being frantically chased, but he couldn't let go of her hands and had to keep running through the pipes of Amegakure.
Although Jiraiya continuously dealt with the ferocious beasts summoned by the Hell Path, the ferocious beasts continued to arrive in droves.
Jiraiya was almost completely unable to let go of his hands.
At this moment, Jiraiya realized just how special Nagato was. Not only had he learned all the ninjutsu he had taught him, but he also knew almost all the elemental transformation ninjutsu.
It can be said that before meeting Minato Namikaze, Nagato was the all-around ninja he knew, which is very rare.
Most ninjas only have one type of chakra; those with two types are considered to have extraordinary talent.
Most ninjas can only develop a second attribute transformation after reaching the Jonin stage, or rather, only those who develop a second attribute transformation can be called Jonin.
Nagato was a ninja who was born with all attributes. Even without the Rinnegan, he was a first-rate genius when it came to being a ninja.
He was proficient in ninjutsu of various attributes, yet he was only using summoning jutsu now, which made him feel very strange.
Something's not right.
Only Jiraiya, who was off-screen, understood why. It's likely that each of these clones might carry some aspect of Nagato's abilities from back then, and this Hell Path might simply be responsible for summoning techniques.
However, at this moment, Jiraiya, who had been on the run for a long time in the video, finally returned. This time, when he reappeared, he had already entered Sage Mode.
Everyone could sense that Jiraiya was different through the video; his entire body was filled with some inexplicable aura and strange energy fluctuations.
Even his people began to show toad-like characteristics.
Apart from Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, even Tsunade didn't know much about Sage Mode.
She was too young when her great-grandfather was still alive, so her memories are not vivid enough.
Moreover, after Hashirama Senju, no one else in the Senju clan has mastered Sage Mode. This ability, like Hashirama's Wood Release, was discontinued with his death.
So she only saw the complete Sage Mode after she came of age.
"Is this the teacher's Sage Mode?"
Minato Namikaze compared his own Sage Mode to that of his teacher and confirmed that his talent in this area was greater than his teacher's. Not only was he able to enter Sage Mode faster, but he also had far fewer toad-like features on his body.
According to the Toad Sage, the fewer toad-like features a person has, the higher their Sage Mode level.
This varies entirely from person to person, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you will improve much just because you have practiced for more years.
For example, Jiraiya's Sage Mode is what it is now, and it won't see any fundamental improvement even in ten years.
He had only been learning Sage Mode for a short time when he surpassed Jiraiya.
This is where talent determines everything; it's like learning math—if you don't know it, you just don't know it.
In the ninja world, there are few people qualified to learn Sage Mode, and even fewer who can actually learn it.
Even the other two of the Legendary Sannin couldn't learn Sage Mode. Orochimaru's later creation of the Cursed Seal was essentially a compromise made because he couldn't learn Sage Mode.
Seeing Jiraiya in such dire straits, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He was originally very confident in his teacher's ability to protect himself, but since Kitahara Kaede had foretold his teacher's death in advance, he knew that any crisis, if not handled properly, could lead to his teacher's tragic death.
Naturally, I felt anxious and worried.
The invisible Beast Realm, lurking in the darkness, is still active, as is the giant chameleon.
Jiraiya, on the other hand, was extremely confident at this moment. In Sage Mode, he felt almost omnipotent.
"Kid, why do you always summon us in noisy places like this? Of course, Bunta will be angry."
"Jiraiya had his reasons, right?"
"Honey, stop protecting him, really."
A long string of sounds of a man and a woman arguing could be heard.
"It's been so long, I'm so sorry to trouble you all like this, boss, big sister."
Jiraiya apologized repeatedly.
"But kid, didn't you think that girls wouldn't like you looking like this, which is why you didn't want to change your body like this?"
"Now is not the time to pay attention to these words, after all, our opponent has the Rinnegan." Jiraiya's voice was extremely serious.
"The Eye of the Six Paths?"
"Does that kind of thing really exist? It seems like we really had no other choice."
As the sounds of conversation continued to drift over, two small frogs dressed similarly to humans appeared on Jiraiya's back, standing before everyone.
At this point, Jiraiya already showed many toad-like features, such as his eyes and nose.
Aside from Minato Namikaze, who is quite familiar with Fukasaku and Shima, Tsunade is the only one I'm somewhat familiar with.
Because she had occasionally seen Minato summon these two sages, and Minato's previous training in Sage Mode was also completed with the help of these two sages.
Although the others had never seen him before, they were not surprised, since everyone except Uchiha Sasuke knew that he was a descendant of Mount Myōboku.
Although Sasuke Uchiha had never met these two, he could glean some information from Naruto Uzumaki's summoned creatures.
However, he found the words of the two masters, Fukasaku and Shima, who referred to the elderly Jiraiya as "Little Jiraiya" very strange. How old must these two toads be?
"It's about time you learned to transform into Sage Mode on your own, little Jiraiya," Fukasaku remarked.
"Compared to the two of you, I'm still just a baby, so please do your part during this time."
Jiraiya was unusually humbly, because he was well aware of how important these two immortals were to him.
His training at Mount Myōboku since childhood was guided by these two individuals.
In front of these two, whether it was Jiraiya from back then, Jiraiya who was one of the Legendary Sannin, or Jiraiya the Toad Sage, they all had to lower their stance.
"Well then, let's go."
Jiraiya leaped down, instantly causing the earth to tremble violently.
Just by jumping down, he achieved a level equivalent to that of some C-rank Earth Escape Techniques.
Everyone could feel that Jiraiya's power level was on a completely different level after entering Sage Mode.
Tsunade, who has been her teammate for many years, understands this best.
She, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya grew up together and fought side by side, serving as both teammates and rivals.
Among the three, Jiraiya was the least noticeable. Orochimaru's amazing talent and Tsunade's strong talent despite her noble birth made them the most promising.
However, more than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he and Orochimaru are forever stuck at the level of ordinary Kage. He is still a weak Kage. If we use Kitahara Kaede's concept of a gatekeeper, he can probably only be considered a Kage gatekeeper level fighter.
Orochimaru was completely outmatched by Itachi Uchiha, and couldn't unleash much of his full power.
Jiraiya, the least noticeable of the three, actually reached the level of Kage-level that Kitahara Kaede mentioned, touching a level that the other two could not reach.
Life is truly unpredictable!
No one expected that Jiraiya, who had always been at the bottom of the three, would catch up and even surpass them.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiraiya reaching the level of a Kage through the power of Sage Mode; after all, for a ninja, all methods are acceptable.
For example, similar to her Yin Seal, this method can provide a longer battlefield endurance.
She even wondered if she should go to the Wet Bone Forest to ask the slug if she was suitable for cultivating the Immortal Mode.
After all, she had never considered this question before: "After going through all this trouble, all I summoned were those two toads?"
Looking at his teacher Jiraiya's Sage Mode, Hell Path clearly realized that this was what Jiraiya wanted to summon. "No, my teacher himself has changed too. Hmph, whether it's Orochimaru or Jiraiya, the Sannin can all use unique powers."
"So, where is that Six Paths Eye?"
The white-haired hermit Fukasaku could not see the Hell Path, which was in a hidden state.
"Are your eyesight failing as you get older?"
Shima-sensei directly retorted.
"No, he hid his tracks inside the transparent summoned creature," Jiraiya said seriously.
