Naruto: I have an attribute panel

Chapter 487 Two Years

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It is now September of Konoha Year 52.

In the past two years, the ninja world has been in a relatively stable period.

The five great ninja villages are all focused on development—or rather, except for Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village), they're focused on internal strife.

The other smaller ninja villages are also actively expanding their businesses, some focusing on tourism, others on construction.

Even Akatsuki, the number one terrorist organization in the ninja world, seems to have disappeared in the past two years. In any case, none of the five great ninja villages have discovered what they are doing.

Within Konoha Village, Taichi's plan to promote Sage Mode is progressing quite smoothly.

In the first year, the village selected 50 people to participate for him.

From a young kid just starting out at the ninja academy to an elderly ninja who has already retired, the age range covers all stages of a ninja's life.

The results were encouraging, but also worrying.

Of the 50 members, only 5 successfully sensed natural energy during the year-long training, and only 1 ultimately achieved...

It's barely enough to maintain the immortal mode.

This result, compared to the records of the three holy lands, is undoubtedly much higher. However, this success rate of only one in fifty can only mean that Taiyi's three disciples are indeed exceptionally talented.

Fortunately, this year was not wasted. The training data of 50 people, even if they were all failures, provided Taiyi with a lot of inspiration.

So in the second year, together with the 50 people from the first year, a total of 100 people participated in the cultivation of the Immortal Mode again. This time the results were gratifying. Among the 100 people, the number of people who felt the natural energy increased to 42, and 11 people successfully completed the cultivation of the Immortal Arts.

This is a huge success. A one-in-ten success rate would leave them far behind, no matter which holy land they are located in.

The key point is that Sage Mode 3.0 has eliminated the possibility of death. Even if a ninja fails to complete the training, at most their meridians will be injured.

These injuries can be fully recovered with a couple more days of hospitalization in Konoha. There's no need to worry about losing your life in a muddle like the three great holy lands.

After two years, the plan to promote immortal arts had achieved initial success, and Taiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't underestimate the one in ten chance; it's a Sage Art, a Sage Art that can be effective even in a battle against Madara Uchiha.

Even one more of these would be a valuable asset, let alone the fact that there are more than just one now—ten, a hundred, or even more.

The Hokage's office.

When Taichi presented the latest progress report to Minato, the Third Hokage and the two advisors stood quietly to the side.

They naturally knew what Taiyi had been busy with these past two years, and the village had invested a massive amount of resources in it.

As a result, several department heads came to them to complain.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, they withstood the pressure and provided Taiyi with money and manpower as needed, all for the sake of this outcome.

"In summary, Sage Mode version 3.0 is now ready for widespread use. Further optimizations can be considered as a long-term project, and it is unlikely to be completed in the short term."

After listening to Taiyi's report, the four people present were all excited to varying degrees.

The most excited person was Hiruzen Sarutobi. As the Third Hokage, he had to step down for various reasons during Konoha's most difficult time.

Although it was the best choice at the time, he still felt a sense of indebtedness in his heart.

Coupled with the heavy pressure from the Akatsuki organization and the enemies from beyond the heavens, even after he stepped down, his hair continued to turn white day by day.

Now things are much better. With Taichi and more and more young ninjas rising up in Konoha, and now with the inheritance of Sage Mode, Konoha finally has hope of surviving the future catastrophe.

Unlike the Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, always had absolute confidence in the future. It was only with the improvement of Sage Mode 3.0 that he saw Konoha was about to become even more prosperous.

Two years ago, when Taiyi's 2.0 version was brought to him, he had already begun to cultivate it (not within the 50-person range). He also had a foundation in immortal arts, and he quickly mastered the immortal arts of the 2.0 version on his own.

Now he truly understood the power of Taiyi's Immortal Mode.

This ability to subtly enhance the body's basic qualities is an invention that transcends time, and it is also the source of his confidence to truly fight against the so-called extraterrestrial enemy with the human body.

"Taiyi, you've really had a tough time these past two years."

Minato said sincerely, "Do you know that in the past two years, Taiyi has been constantly supervising these 100 people whenever they are cultivating, in order to ensure their safety?"

This level of strength is only achieved by Taiyi; no one else has the skill or energy to do it.

"Is there anything else you need to do next? Why don't you take a break and relax a bit?"

After thinking it over, Taiichi accepted Minato's offer.

He had been staying in Konoha for the past two years, but he was getting restless and wanted to go out and take a trip, and also check on the Akatsuki organization.

He didn't know what this cancerous tumor had been doing behind the scenes these past two years, and he remained uneasy until he found out.

"Alright, I'll go out and find my master and give her this 3.0 version. I think it will help her improve her skills even further."

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.

Koharu Utatane and Enoki Mito, who had been listening from the sidelines, both stirred.

If Tsunade can master this Sage Art, then what about them?

The two exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's meaning.

Mitomon Homura lowered his head again. He and Taiichi didn't get along well, and even had conflicts, so he didn't want to provoke them at this time.

Koharu, who was turning over a new room, stepped forward.

"Taiyi, can this old woman still learn your 3.0 version of immortal techniques?"

"Well!"

Taiyi was also taken aback. Recalling his report, he realized that this part had not been mentioned; it was only introduced in a more detailed explanation.

"Data feedback shows that there are no precedents of people over 50 years old successfully cultivating. From my personal experience, the older a person is and the more severe their physical aging, the lower their success rate. The oldest person to have succeeded so far is 45 years old."

While these words did not completely deny their possibility of cultivation, they undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to their confidence.

Xiaochun's smile froze a bit when she turned to the dormitory, but she still decided that she must try it when she got back.

Even if there's only the slightest chance, you have to try to seize it.

After Taiyi finished speaking, he ignored the two elders. In any case, the current 3.0 version wasn't very dangerous, and if they were interested, they could try practicing it themselves.

Upon returning home, Taiichi immediately created three shadow clones and arranged for them to go to the hospital, the ninja academy, and the research department.

Even if he's going on vacation, he still needs to arrange some work in the village. Matsushita Taichi is now a very important figure in the village, and he has a lot of things to be responsible for. He can't just shirk his responsibilities like some other people.

Meanwhile, he himself was at home making a final summary of his past two years.

In those two years, he wasn't just busy with a plan to promote immortal arts; he also didn't neglect his own training at all.

His panel data is the best proof of this.

Evaluation: You are already a towering figure in the ninja world, holding up the sky of the ninja world, and you have a share of responsibility.

Such a luxurious attribute panel amazed even Taiyi himself.

He didn't know what Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were like at their peak.

However, judging from my brief encounter with age spots in the past...

At their peak, they might have an advantage in one aspect of physical attributes, but they would never completely dominate.

Furthermore, Taiichi has absolute confidence in his ability to transform chakra nature.

Since his nature transformation reached Lv13, there have been very few people in the ninja world who can rival him in this aspect.

Otherwise, Taiyi's ninjutsu wouldn't be so terrifying; his fire jutsu caused the Nine-Tails and the demons great suffering.

This also meant that when Taiyi's panel level was at Lv14 and Lv15, he had no reference point. He only knew that he was very powerful and should have reached the level of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the so-called Kage level.

However, three months ago, when the fire attribute change reached Lv15 (6999/7000), Taiyi noticed something was wrong.

No matter how hard we tried, that last bit of progress seemed to be stuck halfway, and we just couldn't move it any further.

Taiyi could sense that the power of his Fire Release technique was increasing with his efforts, but there seemed to be a bottleneck, and the panel data remained unchanged.

At first, Taiyi cared a lot, but gradually he came to terms with it. Perhaps he was just missing a catalyst.

At the same time, he also understood that Lv15 might be the peak of the Super Shadow level, and if he broke through to the next level, Lv16 would be the Six Paths level.

That was a qualitative breakthrough, a fundamental change in the level of power.

Taiyi was particularly looking forward to this and was also very eager to know what the difference was between his Six Paths level, which he had reached through cultivation, and Kaguya Otsutsuki's Six Paths level, which she had reached through the fruits of the Divine Tree and the bloodline of the Otsutsuki.

After packing all the necessary supplies and feeling the memories transmitted back by his shadow clones, Taiichi knew that he had said everything he needed to say, and it was time for his leisurely journey to begin.

With his eyes closed, Taiichi carefully sensed the Flying Thunder God mark he had left on Tsunade, and his brows gradually furrowed.

That's quite a distance. It seems Tsunade has traveled all over the ninja world again these past few years.

Taiichi looked up in the direction of the Land of Earth, but he was certain that it was not the Land of Earth, but a place even further away.

Taiyi simply stopped thinking about it. After all, it was a trip, and to be honest, he had never really had a proper time in the ninja world. This time, he was going to experience it properly.

Crossing the Land of Rain, Taiichi thoroughly experienced the endless rain and the sticky dampness that seeped into his bones, forcing him to constantly use Fire Release to dry his body during the latter part of the journey.

Passing through the Land of Earth, Taiyi was deeply shocked by the rocky plateau landscape. This was the first time he had ventured deep into the Land of Earth. As far as the eye could see, there were either broken canyons or bare wastelands. The only patch of green in the entire territory was the farmland where the people grew their crops.

Upon reaching the northernmost part of the Land of Earth, Taiichi had been away from the village for over a month. According to his senses, Tsunade was still further north, but before him lay a vast ocean.

At this moment, Taiichi also realized that Tsunade had run to the Land of Snow, the most remote and coldest place in the entire ninja world.

As for why, Taiyi knew without even thinking that it was simply to escape gambling debts.

In the past two years, Taiyi has received quite a few letters from Tsunade asking for help. The content of these letters is remarkably consistent: they all lost a bet and have no living expenses, asking Taiyi to come and help them out in their time of need.

Fortunately, Tsunade's medical skills were superb, and she always managed to find a way to get money; otherwise, Taiichi would have been unable to resist bringing her back to keep an eye on her long ago.

Ten days later, Taiyi finally boarded a cargo ship bound for the Land of Snow. After another ten days at sea, he set foot on the land of the Land of Snow.

The Land of Snow, just as its name suggests, is entirely covered by thick snow. As far as the eye can see, it is a vast expanse of white, without any other colors.

Following his senses, Taiyi walked alone through the vast snowfield, experiencing the unique scenery unlike any other place.

After three days of arduous trekking, Taiyi stood before a massive city, his ultimate destination.

He could clearly sense that his Flying Thunder God mark was deep within this city.

This was the first time Taiyi had entered a city since he started his journey, and it was a unique ice and snow city.

Walking on the city streets, the place, like the country itself, is predominantly in muted colors. Although it's cold, the streets are quite lively.

It offers everything from snacks and toys to clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Of course, there's also the gambling den that Taiichi least wants to see.

Fortunately, Taiichi did not sense Tsunade's presence in these gambling dens, otherwise he would not know what expression to wear.

Following his senses, Taiyi ventured deeper and deeper, gradually leaving the bustling neighborhood and arriving in this city, or rather, this...

The administrative center of the country—Windflower Castle.

Taiichi truly hadn't expected that Tsunade would actually move into the Wind Flower Castle.

Since he had taken refuge in the home of a daimyo in the Land of Snow to avoid debt collection, no one would come to collect the debt.

However, it's unclear what the relationship is between Tsunade-sensei and the Daimyo, that she has the audacity to move in and stay for nearly two months.

Chakra perception spread rapidly, instantly and silently enveloping the entire Windflower Castle.

He also clearly sensed Tsunade's presence.

However, even with Taichi's composure, he couldn't help but darken his face when he saw Tsunade at this moment.

Looking up at the sky, although it is the land of snow, the position of the sun clearly shows that it is already noon.

But Tsunade was still lying in bed and hadn't gotten up.

Looking at the scattered wine bottles beside the bed, Tai instantly understood everything.

Seriously—they never give me a moment's peace.

Meanwhile, Taiyi's prolonged lingering here finally attracted the attention of the guards.

A guard approached Taiyi with a weapon in hand. After looking Taiyi up and down to make sure he posed no threat, he sternly reprimanded him, "Hey, kid, this isn't a place for you. If you have nothing else to do, get out of here."
