Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 464 This power is nothing special.
More than twenty days later, Yako finally met Jiraiya and challenged himself.

Surrounded by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, Jiraiya had Gunka hold him back while he sat there absorbing natural energy on his own.

Bunta noticed that the fox had no intention of continuing its attack, so he squatted outside the valley and waited for Jiraiya to enter Sage Mode.

After a puff of white smoke, Jiraiya emerged, carrying two great immortals on his shoulders.

The three were muttering something to themselves, and from afar they could hear something about a prophetic child, something about changing the ninja world, all very mysterious and rambling.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Finally, I can start pretending."

"Lord Jiraiya, you're finally done preparing. I almost fell asleep in half an hour."

For some reason, this sentence struck a chord with Orochimaru, who began to chuckle strangely.

Jiraiya was not provoked, but slowly kicked off his wooden clogs.

"Fox, I admit you're strong, but my Sage Mode isn't weak either. Let me see just how strong the Konoha Anbu captain really is."

Jiraiya, with webbed hands and feet, stomped through the ground, creating cracks, and charged towards the luminous figure.

A powerful, heavy side kick was delivered towards Ye Guang.

However, a miniature Three-Generation wooden figure, twice the height of a person, emerged from the ground.

Jiraiya kicked the Third Wood Golem in the chest, producing a dull thud, like a wooden hammer hitting a stone.

Jiraiya was horrified to see that the wooden figure was unharmed, and he quickly retreated.

Upon closer inspection, Jiraiya noticed that the Third Wood Golem had long roots growing from its feet. The force of his flying kick was transmitted into the earth through these roots, which was why the golem remained motionless.

Fukasaku exclaimed, "So that's the First Hokage's Wood Release? Its power is just too high."

Nightlight reached out and placed his hand behind the Third Wood Doll to assess Jiraiya's physical strength.

The Third Wood Man's body was cracked, but it was quickly repaired due to the properties of Wood Release.

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya's strength is considered top-tier even among Kage-level characters.

However, it needs to glow in the dark.

"Jiraiya, is this the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku? I have a question. Is the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku the weakest among the three sacred lands? Why can't it even break my wooden puppet?"

Jiraiya remained calm because he knew his Sage Mode was very powerful.

"Immortal Technique: Thousand Needles!"

Jiraiya lay on the ground, his white hair shooting out from behind him.

A dense, overwhelming mass of thousands of hairs shot towards the night light and the three wooden figures.

The Three-Generation Wooden Dummy can block these attacks, but it's covered in quills and doesn't look very good.

"Wood Release: Ranking Technique!"

The curved wooden wall, like a cicada pupa, sheltered the luminous body.

There was a thumping sound outside. The strength of the "Thousand Needles" technique was insufficient to break through Wood Release.

Jiraiya stared at the porcupine-like array of jutsu and said in a low voice, "The power of Wood Release is too strong. Ordinary jutsu can't even break through Wood Release's defense."

The Wood Release: Wood Release technique allows one to catch a Tailed Beast Ball with their bare hands, and the Wood Release: Wood Release: Wood Release technique is a defensive technique that Jiraiya didn't have a good way to deal with.

"Then one of us will use oil, one will use wind, and one will use fire!"

The three began forming hand seals, preparing to use the combined sage technique, Goemon.

Just then, a voice echoed through the valley.

"Wood Release: The Tree Realm is coming!"

Jiraiya lost his footing, and countless thick tree trunks burst forth from the ground. One man and two toad sages unleashed Goemon's full power.

However, hidden inside the maple tree trunk is a slender wooden dragon.

The wooden dragon, only as thick as an arm, wrapped itself around Jiraiya's right leg, waist, and chest.

Jiraiya's chakra was rapidly depleting.

The figure of the luminous figure appeared.

"Goemon? That's a legendary S-rank Fire Release ninjutsu. If you manage to use it, we'll be in trouble."

A large amount of chakra was absorbed by the Wood Dragon Technique.

Master Shima said, "Boy, you can't just absorb the Sage Chakra of Mount Myōboku as you please..."

A crackling sound of petrification rang out, and Ye Guang saw that Mu Long had become petrified because he had absorbed Sage Chakra.

Nightlight's expression changed, and he said, "So this is Sage Chakra..."

Another wooden dragon dangled from his sleeve, and it swiftly rushed towards Jiraiya, continuing to bind him.

Jiraiya complained, "Why does this wooden dragon make you sound like Orochimaru? It's really annoying."

Since we can't get rid of the Wood Dragon for the time being, let's, the two sages, absorb natural energy together to create Sage Chakra. Let him see just how violent Sage Chakra really is!

Fukasaku and Shima were originally there to help Jiraiya create and control Sage Chakra. The three of them worked together, motionless, extracting Sage Chakra.

A large amount of natural energy was transformed into Sage Chakra, which was then absorbed by the Wood Dragon.

A few minutes later, Fukasaku and Shima suddenly opened their eyes and stared in horror at the fox standing on the tree trunk opposite them!

"Jiraiya! Stop extracting Sage Chakra! Open your eyes! Look!"

Jiraiya opened his eyes and felt that he had extracted Sage Chakra for several minutes, but his condition had not improved; in fact, it had worsened.

Meanwhile, the fox on the other side took off its mask!

Beneath the mask is a face covered by a veil, but the fox's eyes are exposed.

The eyeshadow around those eyes is clearly from a sage mode!

what happened?

The fox absorbed the Sage Chakra, and instead of turning to stone, it also entered Sage Mode.

A voice rang out, causing Jiraiya, Shima, and Fukasaku to freeze in place.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the fox, having absorbed Sage Chakra, should turn to stone, or whether the frozen Jiraiya and the two sages should also turn to stone...

Nightlight uttered Madara Uchiha's line: "Is this Sage Chakra? This power is nothing special."

Orange-red eyeshadow appeared around Ye Guang's eyes, and he immediately entered Sage Mode!

Jiraiya was dumbfounded!
The fox used the Wood Dragon Technique to absorb Sage Chakra and directly mastered Sage Mode?
What about his years of arduous self-cultivation?
What about the suffering he endured at Mount Myoboku?
What does it mean when he returns to Konoha Village full of pride and self-satisfaction?
The toad, the immortal of the deep, was covered in cold sweat. He felt as if he had swallowed a disgusting soup of stink bugs and could not believe what he was seeing.

Sage Mode, Sage Chakra—this is Mount Myōboku's most important trump card.

Someone actually absorbed Sage Chakra and entered Sage Mode directly during the battle?

"No!" shouted the hermit Shima.
"Your wooden dragon technique is like that of a stinky snake from Ryuchi Cave! Did you learn the immortal mode from Ryuchi Cave? Are you just trying to be mysterious?"

Jiraiya and the Sage of Gods were startled awake and quickly looked at the fox, hoping to hear the answer they wanted to hear.

Ye Guang raised his hand, stared at his palm, feeling the power of the magic, and said:
"Don't you recognize the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, the Sage Mode of Fukasaku, the Sage Mode of Shima?"
All three sacred lands' sage techniques can absorb natural energy, but their methods differ. Each of the three sacred lands also emphasizes different aspects of the use of sage chakra.

I've always held onto expectations and fantasies about sage techniques, but ultimately, the sage techniques of Mount Myōboku disappointed me.
