Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 57 Impure World Cultivation Technique

Hyuga Yu didn't answer, but stared at the Great Toad Sage's aged face and slowly said:

"I've already verified what I needed to know. As you said before, strictly speaking, our interests are not conflicting. I hope we can continue to coexist peacefully in the future, just like we are now."

Half of the changes in the future of the ninja world can be said to be related to the Great Toad Sage.

Obito was Minato's student, Minato was Jiraiya's student, Naruto Uzumaki was Jiraiya's student, and Nagato was also Jiraiya's student.

Jiraiya played a significant role in that vortex, and the reason he took on a disciple was because of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

However, the Great Toad Sage's prophecy clearly had its own purpose, and he needed to intervene to guide the outcome towards the future he desired.

Whether it was guiding the Sage of Six Paths in the past, or guiding Jiraiya and Naruto later, the other party's purpose was clearly to deal with Kaguya, and even to leave behind the foundation for the ninja world to fight against the Otsutsuki.

Among them, the Great Toad Sage personally intervened many times, giving Jiraiya and Naruto prophecies and having the frogs below teach them Sage Techniques. The Sage of Six Paths was even more hands-on at that time.

This time, it's also about having Fukasaku save Fugaku.

Ashura and Indra's reincarnations could certainly not be Naruto and Sasuke, but in that case, the future would very likely lead to an ending that the Great Toad Sage would not want to face.

Putting everything else aside, Naruto is the most likely person to be able to reconcile with Kurama, as most people can't even come into contact with Kurama.

The opponent needs Naruto and Sasuke; once he knows this, he doesn't need to be too wary of them.

Upon hearing Hyuga's words, the Great Toad Sage closed his eyes and shook his head. "Your so-called verification has caused quite a bit of trouble for Mount Myōboku."

Madara Uchiha... This time, his actions pose a significant threat to Mount Myōboku.

"Rather than having you constantly watching me, I think it's better to put some pressure on Mount Myōboku."

Hinata Yu said meaningfully, "Besides, if we don't do this, we won't have a chance to talk."

"I should change your prophecy, but how do you know I won't be the last one?"

"Sometimes, you need to adapt to change."

Seeing Hyuga finish speaking and prepare to dispel the shadow clone, the Great Toad Sage was filled with complex emotions. Recalling the unique soul of Hyuga that he had seen in his dream and his understanding of the future, he sighed:

"Wait, Mount Myōboku will not expose your information, nor will it interfere in your affairs. In addition, I am willing to teach you the Sage Arts of Mount Myōboku in exchange for a promise from you."

There's no need to be overly wary of the glaring young man in front of you. They don't have any direct conflict of interest, and their wariness of each other is only because the other has the ability to disrupt their plans.

It hates the established future being changed, but since the change has already happened, it has to find a way to adapt.

Hinata Yu was the first person to escape its prophecy, but who can guarantee that a second case won't appear in the future?

If someone similar to Hinata Yu appears in the future, it might be more advantageous to reach an agreement with him now.

All it wanted was for the ninja world to be spared from the Otsutsuki planting trees and for Mount Myōboku to be protected...

Hinata Yu's shadow clone stopped moving, a slight smile appearing on its lips.

"I can promise you that if you encounter someone similar to me in the future, someone beyond your prediction, you can tell me, and I will handle it. As for the ninja world's resources for fighting the Otsutsuki, I will do my best to preserve them as well... although the process may be a little painful for them."

……

Fukasaku brought Hinata Yu's shadow clone to the location where he was training in Sage Mode, explained the training steps, and asked, "Are you sure you don't need me to watch over you? By the way, isn't this your shadow clone? Why don't you call your real body here?"

"No need," Hinata Yu's shadow clone replied.

"All right."

Shen Zuoxian frowned, remembering the master's instructions, and hopped away from the place.

After the other party left, Hyuga Yu took out some toad oil and used a summoning jutsu. A coffin gradually appeared in front of him.

"What do you want me to do now?"

Hyuga Meigoku looked at Hyuga Yu and asked with a frown.

"I'll help you improve your strength." Hinata Yu's shadow clone said with a smile before turning into white smoke and disappearing.

The next instant, Hyuga Meigoku found himself being controlled by Hyuga Yu's consciousness.

Hinata Yu manipulated him to apply toad oil and sit down to cultivate.

Reanimated ninjas can sense and absorb natural energy, as evidenced by examples like Minato and Hashirama Senju.

Toad oil allows the applied area to automatically absorb natural energy, helping practitioners to perceive natural energy.

The caster can manipulate the impure body and synchronize their perception with it.

Therefore, if you manipulate the impure body to apply toad oil and absorb natural energy, gradually enhancing your ability to perceive natural energy, some experiences can be synchronized.

Most importantly... this avoids the risks of cultivating immortal arts!

If one fails to maintain a proper balance between natural energy, physical energy, and spiritual energy during the cultivation of the Myoboku Mountain Sage Arts, one will first turn into a toad, and eventually into a stone statue.

But Edo Tensei...

Having his consciousness stolen, Hyuga Meigoku watched helplessly as strange changes occurred to his body, and that part of his body exploded.

It was Hinata Yu who scrapped that part.

Under Hyuga Meigoku's numb perception, the Impure World Reincarnation's automatic repair process began, and his body returned to its original state.

I understand. Hyuga Yu is using the immortality of the Impure World Reincarnation to research dangerous Sage Mode training.

What an unfilial descendant!

What hasn't he seen in all these years?

He had never seen such a cultivation method before!

Hashirama Senju knows Sage Mode, but even if he has powerful regenerative abilities, his method of cultivating Sage Mode must be different from this brat's.

Can you withstand it by relying on your immortality?

Really believe in your thoughts and go out!

Thus, Hyuga Meigoku's body repeatedly went through cycles of destruction and recovery, while Hyuga Yu's consciousness constantly tried to sense natural energy.

It's just inefficient and... consumes a lot of fuel.

After all, Hyuga Yu needs to be multitasking and cannot fully devote himself to cultivation.

Furthermore, because the body of the impure world is damaged, toad oil needs to be reapplied. Compared to Naruto's training, Hyuga Yu consumed far more toad oil during his training.

However, as long as you are willing to spend time, you can gradually perceive natural energy, which is enough for Hyuga.

……

"Toad..."

In the pitch-black underground space, Madara Uchiha frowned as he listened to White Zetsu's report.

"That junior named Jiraiya was trained at Mount Myōboku, right?"

"Yes, Lord Madara."

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

Jiraiya's information had come into his view several times in the past.

After all, Jiraiya was Nagato's teacher, Minato's teacher, and had a close relationship with Obito Uchiha.

Information about the enemy is a key area that White Zetsu needs to gather.

One thing he remembered very clearly.

The reason the other party was teaching Nagato and Minato was because he was searching for the chosen one who would bring about change to the ninja world, according to a prophecy!

Prophecy... Destiny... Change...
