Comparing the two pillars, this pillar is too extreme!

"Just now... I think I've figured out a bit of the trick?!"

"It seems that to enter this immortal body state, one needs to absorb the free-floating energy between heaven and earth!!"

"This energy... seems completely different from chakra..."

"It feels more powerful than chakra, and more suitable for our world..."

"This energy is just too violent, making it difficult to absorb."

"This requires extremely strong physical abilities and an affinity for this kind of energy to achieve..."

In a short moment,

Young Hashirama had a thorough understanding of the characteristics of this energy.

Orochimaru: First Hokage, it's my tragedy that I couldn't live in the same era as you!! To be able to deduce so much information in such a short time, I feel ashamed of this ability!!...

[Tobirama Senju: Brother, I feel like you've been possessed!!! Is this really you?!]

[Hashirama Senju: ...]

Madara Uchiha: ...

As young Hashirama continued his experiments

He entered a state of immortality at an increasingly faster pace.

They are becoming more and more skilled.

Jiraiya, who witnessed this scene from outside the screen...

He almost popped his eyes out of their sockets!

To know,

The cultivation of immortal arts is incredibly dangerous!

He originally wanted to cultivate the immortal arts of Mount Myōboku.

With the help of the Great Toad Sage and the entire Mount Myōboku,

He finally mastered the sage techniques of Mount Myōboku!

And among these,

One careless

He'll probably turn into a stone statue on Mount Myōboku!

For countless years,

I wonder how many people have heard of the magical arts of Mount Myōboku.

Then he went to practice.

But very few people succeed in their cultivation.

Most people eventually turn into stone statues!

And the young Hashirama on the screen

He actually relied solely on brute force...

Cultivating immortal arts without any external assistance!!!

[Minato Namikaze: Jiraiya-sensei... I remember it took quite a while to train in Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku... and the process wasn't exactly pleasant...]

[Jiraiya: Minato... I'm not much better than you. When I was training in Sage Mode, I didn't have any seniors to guide me, and it took me much longer than you!!!]

Minato Namikaze believed his talent was second to none!

He was very confident in his talent!

he thinks,

If it weren't for the Nine-Tails...

If I survive!!

He even believed he could surpass the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

He can take Konoha to new heights!!!

Born a commoner, without a bloodline limit,

But Minato Namikaze relied on himself

He still managed to become the Fourth Hokage step by step!

Although he is usually humble

But he himself also knew that

Deep down, I'm still very confident and arrogant!

But seeing this scene before him,

My self-confidence has been severely damaged!

Although he worked hard for a long time and finally mastered Sage Mode

But the physical and mental strength required for Sage Mode is simply too great!!!

Jiraiya always received help from the hermits Fukasaku and Shima.

That's why he's been able to use this fighting style for so long!

However, Minato Namikaze did not meet this requirement.

Therefore, he couldn't maintain Sage Mode for very long.

It usually only lasts about a minute!

This short-lived pattern,

Minato Namikaze is not optimistic about him.

He doesn't think this model suits him!

So generally, except in the most urgent situations,

Minato Namikaze wouldn't use Sage Mode lightly!!!

And the young Hashirama on the screen.

It's one thing that he entered the immortal mode through self-study, but another that...

The first time he used this pattern to maintain the duration,

They're all longer than me!!!

[Minato Namikaze: I used to think I was a genius... but now I realize I was overthinking it. I'm no match for the First Hokage. After seeing him, I understand what a true genius is!!]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Minato... stop underestimating yourself! Your talent is already outstanding!! It's not that you're not good enough, it's just that the First Hokage was simply too strong!! In his presence, probably no one would dare to call themselves a genius!!!]

[Tobirama Senju: Junior, don't overthink it... The real elder brother isn't as strong as he appears in the picture... He hasn't even touched Sage Mode yet at this age!!!]

[Hashirama Senju: Hahahaha!! Junior, Tobirama is right!! You need to pull yourself together!! When I was a teenager, I tried Sage Mode, but I failed!!! This kind of energy is too difficult to control!!]

[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, I'm really looking forward to seeing how far the other you in this scene will grow. I have a feeling he'll become a truly terrifying enemy!!! I really want to fight him!!!]

[Orochimaru: So this is the real Sage Mode... It seems I still have some issues with the development of the Cursed Seal; my previous approaches weren't quite right!!!]

[The Fourth Raikage: Thank goodness the First Hokage is gone. If he were still alive, our other villages would never have a chance to rise up!]

21. Young Ban: What the hell? You've become the clan leader?!

Within the Thousand Hands Clan,

The tribespeople discovered that after a change in chieftain,

Their lives haven't changed much.

only……

This clan chief doesn't seem as talkative as the previous one.

They were repeatedly brainwashed.

This new patriarch,

Apart from appearing once at the handover ceremony,

Most of the time, the explanations are simple and concise.

He spends every day either in his study or at the training ground.

He rarely appears in front of others at other times.

The Senju clan members love their new clan leader even more!

"Wow!!! You guys didn't see it yesterday!!"

"I secretly peeked during the clan leader's training session, and you have no idea how terrifying Wood Release is!!!"

"During the handover ceremony, the clan chief didn't even use his full strength!!!"
