However, there is no flow of natural energy in the vicinity.

Uehara Shu opened his eyes and frowned.

"If I can't obtain sage techniques from this Water Temple, then my only option is to seek help from the three great sacred sites for summoning beasts?"

"But given their relationship with Konoha, would they really help someone like me from Kirigakure?"

"The Temple of Fire, even less likely."

Uehara Osamu took a few steps forward.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and placed his hand firmly on the statue's knee.

However, I still didn't sense anything special.

Uehara Shu concentrated his chakra in his hand and enveloped the statue.

still the same.

Got nothing.

"It seems that it really is just an ordinary statue."

"It's my wildest hope."

Uehara Osamu withdrew his hand in disappointment.

Just then, Uehara Osamu felt a sense of familiarity.

"Ok?"

Uehara Shu quickly looked towards where he had landed.

"This feels great."

"It looks very much like the traces of my magic refining techniques."

"But there is no natural energy here."

"There is even less possibility of traces of natural energy being artificially guided."

Uehara Osamu considered a possibility.

"Perhaps placing this statue in a place with natural energy would have unexpected effects?"

Uehara Shu took out a storage scroll.

"receive!"

In an instant, the enormous statue was stored in the storage scroll.

Uehara Osamu decided to take the statue back to Kirigakure to give it a try.

If there is still no response, then send someone to return the statue to the Water Temple.

But if there is

Chapter 248 Kakuzu's Kirigakure Mission: I won't accept it.

When the monks from the Water Temple entered, they bowed as usual.

But the moment he looked up, his expression suddenly froze.

"???"

What about the Buddha statues in your own temple?

What about a large Buddha statue?

How could it just vanish into thin air?

These days, even clay Buddha statues are being stolen?

Kirigakure Village.

Forging Island.

Over the past few days, Bao Gui has gained a preliminary understanding of the forging department.

"It's nothing special at all."

"Why would Madara Uchiha be so concerned about the forging techniques here?"

Bao Gui gained some understanding of the forging process and techniques used by Huang Chuan Er and his crew.

Treasure Turtle didn't think much of Liang's quick and decisive style.

Takaki also looked down on Arasen's technology.

"It's just a matter of being more resilient."

"Any decent blacksmith can do it if they spend a little more time."

"The forging method is somewhat different, but it's not particularly special."

"That so-called Zanpakuto isn't just hype, is it?"

"Is Uehara Shu's forging technique worth learning?"

Such doubt arose in the treasure turtle's heart.

The first thing Uehara Shu did upon returning to Forging Island was to take the Buddha statue and enter the Garden Box.

The Buddha statue shrank visibly the instant it approached the box in the garden.

Soon, it landed.

With a slight tremor, the Buddha statue landed steadily on the hillside in the grove.

Uehara Osamu's figure walked in.

We arrived in front of the Buddha statue.

Abundant natural energy surrounds this place.

Uehara Shu looked at the Buddha statue.

"Change!"

Uehara Shu's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward.

I felt that the natural energy around me, when it touched the Buddha statue, was as if it was being specially attracted and suddenly poured into the Buddha statue.

Little by little, it seeped into the Buddha statue's body.

The Buddha statues are slowly changing under the influence of natural energy.

After half a day, the natural energy calmed down.

Change seems to have stopped.

Uehara Shu stepped forward, pressing one hand tightly against the Buddha statue.

The next moment, Uehara Shu saw something.

"A technique."

A short while later, Uehara Shu opened his eyes and took a few steps back.

"Sage Chakra, Refinement".

seal.

"Immortal Technique, Water Tiger Technique!"

Natural energy and chakra merged and coalesced, transforming into a two-meter-tall tiger.

Water is the main element, and natural energy forms the patterns.

The overall color is light blue.

An impressive aura emanated from Shui Hu.

Uehara Shu sized up Mizuki, then looked at himself.

"This Water Tiger is quite strong, far superior to the Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

"However, the Sage Art system of the Water Temple is very different from that of Mount Myōboku."

"It is more similar to the Sage Art system of the Fire Temple."

Uehara Shu remembered that the Sage Mode system of Mount Myōboku began by entering Sage Mode.

This mode will greatly enhance the ninja's body.

Attack and defense capabilities have been greatly enhanced.

Even a simple punch or kick can be fatal to others.

Therefore, whether it's Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, or Naruto Uzumaki, they all like to get close to the enemy in Sage Mode and engage in close-quarters taijutsu combat.

In the original storyline, Naruto destroyed a Pain puppet with a single elbow strike, which is proof of this.

However, the Sage Art system of the Fire Temple is different.

It's not that powerful; it's a Sage Mode that strengthens the body.

Instead, it uses Sage Chakra to condense external objects.

For example, Guanyin, Vajra

In this respect, it is somewhat similar to the Susanoo of the Uchiha clan.

It is similar to Hashirama Senju's Wood Release and Top Transformation Buddha Technique.

"Perhaps this is the difference between the immortal techniques developed by humans and those developed by summoned beasts?"

"Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and it's not a matter of which is stronger or weaker; it mainly depends on the user."

"but"

Uehara Shu looked at the Buddha statue again.

To be precise, it's looking down at the Buddha statue, at the tiger-like mount.
