I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can get a tailed beast in three years, and nine tailed beasts will only take twenty-seven years.

It doesn't seem too much to think that someone could possess power comparable to Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, in just twenty-seven years.

From this perspective, the effect of the passive skill bar is extremely overpowered.

"However, it would be great if we could speed things up a bit!"

However, since the passive skill bar isn't controlled by a Great Sage, whatever you do probably won't affect the passive skill bar, so...

[Great Sage: Analysis: Tailed Beast Chakra is composed of natural energy. This skill serves as a bridge, linking the host and the skill bar. If the host can provide a large amount of natural energy, it can accelerate the enhancement of Tailed Beast Chakra by the skill bar.]

Can you do this?

"Can you link to the passive skill bar?"

[Great Sage: Of course it can be linked. As one of the fixed active skills, this skill can naturally be linked to the skill bar. Otherwise, how can the host change skills?]

That makes sense!

While I was busy fighting, I simply asked the Great Sage to switch the skill page I had set up, and the Great Sage switched it for me.

It's normal for the passive skill bar to be linked!

"A vast amount of natural energy!"

"Can't my body absorb natural energy right now?"

[Great Sage: The Sage Body you possess can only passively absorb energy. If you provide the natural energy within your body to your skill slots, you will repeatedly experience the feeling of chakra being depleted and then replenished. Do you wish to start providing natural energy to your skill slots?]

Repeatedly experience the feeling of chakra being depleted and then automatically replenished.

This doesn't sound like a pleasant feeling, and it's probably not very efficient either.

Natural energy is absorbed into one's body and automatically converted into one's chakra; the Sage Body is characterized by its rapid recovery speed.

However, this does not mean that it can provide a large amount of natural energy.

"Looks like I need to find a way to learn immortal techniques!"

Learning Sage Arts is not just about refining Sage Chakra, but also about learning how to absorb natural energy and then convert it into Chakra.

Sage Mode!

Isn't there a sage right here in Konoha Village right now?

Jiraiya!

Perhaps we can think of a solution by looking at Jiraiya!

However, it seems unlikely that someone would rashly approach Jiraiya and ask him to teach them Sage Mode.

After all, no one is an idiot. Shigure wasn't so confident that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was handsome. Even Jiraiya wouldn't just pass on such an important technique as Sage Mode to him just because he was a Konoha ninja.

"By the way! If I absorb Sage Chakra, will I be able to master Sage Techniques through analysis?"

[The Great Sage: Of course]

The two concise words seemed to convey a sense of emotion from the great sage, as if he were angry at himself for questioning its abilities.

If all that's needed is to absorb Sage Chakra, then things will be much easier.

Finding a master doesn't guarantee success, but taking on a challenge shouldn't be a problem!

Let's wait until tomorrow! Konoha just went through a fierce battle today. If we challenge Jiraiya now, people will think we're idiots.

"Let's look at some other things!"

"That's right! That special chakra attribute!"

Shukaku's chakra nature is sand, which intrigued Shigure.

This is easy to understand; the corresponding chakra attribute allows for the release of corresponding ninjutsu, resulting in great power.

Shukaku's sand-style chakra is also the reason why Shukaku has special defensive abilities.

"Can the Great Sage calculate chakra with special attributes such as cloud, ice, or boiling?"

...... .. 0

[Great Sage: The calculation time for Cloud Attribute Chakra exceeds thirty days; the estimated calculation time for special attributes such as Ice, Boiling, and Transparent Chakra is ten days.]

Why is Cloud Release...? Well, Cloud Release is a new transformation resulting from the fusion of two bloodline limits.

It's normal for it to take a little longer.

[Great Sage: Host, would you like to begin the calculations?]

"Um, by the way, how's the Gluttony skill fix coming along?"

[Great Sage: It is estimated that 10% of the repairs will be completed by tomorrow morning]

If 10% of the repairs are completed tomorrow, and combined with the 10% already activated, then Gluttony will be repaired to 20%.

"Then let's put aside the calculations for special attributes for now and focus on repairing Gluttony!"

Although the special attributes are quite good, the Gluttony class is more important in comparison.

While Shigure was studying it.

Danzo emerged from the Hokage Building with a smile on his face.

They successfully persuaded Menyan and Xiaochun.

"Send someone to bring back the Kage of Kirigakure!"

Tell her! I've sent her a gift!

At this moment, Mei Terumi had not gone too far from Konoha. When she was caught up by the Root ninjas, Mei Terumi was somewhat surprised.

Does Konoha intend to settle scores with her, the Kage?

The attack on Konoha this time had absolutely nothing to do with Kirigakure. Under these circumstances, it would be unwise for Konoha to seek trouble!

"Lord Danzo invites Lord Kage to Konoha!" (Kawa)

Chapter 176 A New Identity: The Nameless Moon

Mei Terumi should consider Danzo's invitation.

"Lord Danzo said that if you return, he will give you what you want!"

Hearing this, Mei Terumi smiled and said, "Alright! Let's stay in Konoha for another day!"

The next day.

Shiyu woke up from her cultivation. Although she had a passive skill slot, the effects of active cultivation had increased.

A night of Cloud Escape training greatly enhanced Shigure's speed in transforming clouds and mist, and also significantly increased the strength of Cloud Escape.

[Gluttons recover 10%]

[Currently, the percentage of binge eaters has recovered to 20%]

Having just finished training, I heard the Great Sage's beautiful voice, which enhanced my skill repair ability.

If the ability is increased by another 10%, then the devouring will become even faster.

'I wonder how fast the 20% gluttons absorb chakra?'

[Great Sage: The speed at which he can absorb attack-type ninjutsu is now comparable to that of direct use; the absorption time for any attack-type ninjutsu will not exceed two seconds.]

Two seconds!

Normal ninjutsu attacks are basically various escape techniques, such as breathing fire or spitting, which the Glutton can devour in less than two seconds.

Then it has indeed reached the point where it can be used directly.

This is equivalent to having the same ability as the Rinnegan's sealing technique of absorbing everything.

This is already quite a good result.

Just as Shiyu was feeling happy, someone suddenly appeared at the door.

Judging from his aura, it's Brother Gale!

However, the other party stood at the door rather unusually and did not come in.

Feeling something was off, Shi Yu simply walked over and opened the door. "Brother Jifeng, what brings you here so early?"

Upon hearing this, Gekko Hayate's expression turned quite unpleasant. He looked at Shigure and opened his mouth as if to say something, but it seemed as if he couldn't bring himself to speak.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke, "Come with me!"

Following the moonlight and the swift wind, there was nothing to do with the rain or anything to think about.

As the moonlight wind carried Shigure to the Hokage Building.

Shigure sensed something was wrong. First, the way the ninjas around him were looking at him had become very strange.

Secondly, what are you doing at the Hokage Building at this time?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, was still lying in a hospital bed in Konoha.

They arrived at the Hokage's office.

Shiyu walked in and saw two unexpected people.
