Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 120 Immortal Body! This child possesses the body of an immortal!

Sage Mode.

This is the power that many people dream of.

Jiraiya had been training in Sage Mode for many years, and he still needed the help of two sages from Mount Myōboku, and it would take him some time to enter Sage Mode.

However, right before Jiraiya's eyes, his new disciple entered Sage Mode without any help from anyone, without any time, and even while still in a daze!

Akihara Kagura's breathing gradually stabilized.

This was Akihara Kagura's first time entering Sage Mode. The Sage Chakra brought her unprecedented power, and her body felt a surge of vitality.

"How are you feeling?"

The Great Toad Sage asked gently.

"not bad."

Akihara Kagura raised a finger and pointed it into the air.

"Celestial Art: Water Mirror Technique!"

A water mirror appeared in front of Akihara Kagura.

Kagura Akihara gazed at himself in the mirror, reaching out to touch the eyeshadow on his eye sockets. Two patches of black and white eyeshadow seemed to converge at his fingertips like flowing water.

This is a characteristic of [Ascension to Immortality].

Finally, the blush of color that had entered Sage Mode settled completely on her forehead, forming a leaf shape between Akihara Kagura's eyebrows.

The Great Toad Sage fell into thought once again.

This was something it had never seen before.

Kagura Akihara created her Sage Mode herself, so it seems quite normal that she can freely modify the appearance changes brought about by Sage Mode.

"Jiraiya".

Gamabunta was somewhat shocked by Akihara Kagura's sudden burst of Sage Mode talent, and said, "Is this your new disciple? Your disciples always seem to be more talented than you. Minato was like that, and this brat is like that too..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly.

"This child is more outstanding than that little guy..."

The Great Toad Sage interrupted their conversation, casually mentioning, "Little Jiraiya, you once encountered the Sage's Eye; this child should possess the Sage's Body..."

"A physique fit for an immortal!"

Jiraiya looked somewhat surprised.

Because this word has never been mentioned.

Jiraiya knew about the Sage's Eye; it was the Rinnegan possessed by his deceased disciple Nagato, the legendary eye of the Sage of Six Paths.

What does "the body of an immortal" mean?

Is it the constitution of the legendary Sage of Six Paths?

"Does it heal itself without the original?"

Jiraiya recalled how Akihara Kagura bit her finger, and the wound healed quickly. This healing ability far surpassed the medical ninjutsu of medical ninjas.

"That's the most common ability of immortals."

The giant toad immortal shook his head and said softly, "A true immortal body is born with abundant life energy, can keenly sense the energy existing in nature, and can easily absorb this natural energy into the body, transforming into immortal mode..."

"A celestial body?"

The tall man brought up his life's most important matter again.

"The Great Toad Sage, Kagura has already mastered Sage Mode and even possesses the Sage Body. Perhaps in the future he can become a ninja god like the First Hokage..."

"There's probably no one in the entire ninja world stronger than Kagura, right? And she's not even the child the Great Toad Sage prophesied would change the ninja world?"

"Fate will make you meet it."

The Great Toad Sage overheard their conversation and turned back, saying, "Little Jiraiya, you'll understand when your destiny arrives..."

"As for this child who possesses the body of an immortal..."

The Great Toad Sage looked at Akihara Kagura again, closed his eyes, and slowly shook his head, saying, "Just like that child with the Sage's Eye, fate is a very mysterious thing. It's difficult for me to observe their true existence. This is a situation I've never encountered before. Perhaps only when I return to my dreams will I have the opportunity to enter the river of time to observe..."

"A boy favored by nature..."

"Just like us, they are celestial spirits of heaven and earth..."

As it spoke, the giant toad immortal slowly closed its eyes, its breathing gradually became even, and its body turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated.

Obviously.

The great toad sage has returned to Mount Myōboku.

"..."

Akihara Kagura remained silent.

In fact, there have always been many creatures favored by natural energy in this ninja world, including ninjas. However, some people do not know how to use natural energy to obtain power, and they may even become as ferocious as wild beasts.

Some wild beasts learned to harness natural energy, which led to the development of intelligence from their animalistic nature, and they even established three sacred sites.

"I'm going back too, Jiraiya."

Gamabunta, puffing on his pipe and exhaling a smoke ring, muttered, "I wonder how anxious they are at Mount Myōboku. Teach your disciple a lesson. He can summon anyone he wants from now on, but don't let him summon the Great Toad Sage again."

The Great Toad Sage has never left Mount Myōboku.

This time, the Great Toad Sage was actually summoned, which was a major event for Mount Myōboku and almost caused great chaos.

That brat named Akihara Kagura does have a good talent for summoning spirits, but he should probably refrain from doing it recklessly next time. We can't let Mount Myōboku be in chaos every day.

Moreover…

The ninja world is not without danger.

The Great Toad Sage has lived for over a thousand years. Who knows if it can still fight? If it were accidentally killed in a battle, it would cause an earthquake throughout Mount Myoboku!

"I'm leaving."

After saying that, Gamabunta turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Only Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura remained on the mountaintop.

Jiraiya flew down in front of Akihara Kagura, glanced at the leaf-shaped mark on her brow, and said with some melancholy, "I thought I'd let you train for a while longer before telling you more about Sage Mode..."

As a teacher who had taught many disciples, Jiraiya always had his own unique teaching methods, which allowed his disciples to gradually become stronger without confusing their minds.

however…

Problems arose on the very first day of teaching Akihara Kagura.

Kagura Akihara is quite talented, even possessing the body of a sage, but her ability to cause trouble is truly exceptional; she even considered killing the Great Toad Sage…

The most troublesome thing is...

How should I teach them from now on?

After being taught the art of summoning spirits, the little guy immediately summoned the Great Toad Sage, the highest-ranking person on Mount Myōboku, and even mastered Sage Mode.

The old man had really given him a huge problem.

Besides this, Jiraiya also had a headache because he had learned a new piece of information: Akihara Kagura was not the child of prophecy, which meant that he would have to continue his journey.

Akihara Kagura looked up at Jiraiya and asked, "What's a prophetic child? I'm not a prophetic child. Are you disappointed, Jiraiya-sensei?"

"How should I put it..."

Jiraiya rubbed his forehead and sighed, "The Great Toad Sage is a sage with the ability to foresee the future..."

"Many years ago, the Great Toad Sage made a prophecy that I would have a disciple who could bring about change to the ninja world. However, I don't know whether this change would bring stability to the ninja world or destruction to the world, so I have been searching..."

Jiraiya had always acted according to the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, hoping to meet the prophesied child as soon as possible and teach that disciple to bring peace to the ninja world.

"never mind."

Jiraiya was only dejected for a moment before regaining his composure: "It doesn't matter if you're not the child of prophecy, you're still my disciple..."

fair enough.

At least Jiraiya was certain of one thing.

Akihara Kagura is not the child of prophecy, so she will not bring about change to the ninja world, nor will she bring about a crisis of destruction to the ninja world.

"It's a pity that Nagato is dead."

Jiraiya thought of his former disciple and sighed, "If he were still alive, perhaps you two could meet..."

One has the body of an immortal, and the eyes of an immortal.

Jiraiya felt that his life was really interesting. He had met so many talented disciples, but none of them were the Child of Prophecy. Just how powerful would the true Child of Prophecy's talent have to be to surpass the Sage's Body and Sage's Eyes?

"..."

Upon hearing her superior's name, Akihara Kagura asked curiously, "Why haven't I heard of Nagato-senpai's name in Konoha?"

"Nagato was not a Konoha ninja."

Jiraiya shook his head and brought up his past: "It was during the Second Shinobi World War. After our battle with Hanzo of the Salamander, we happened to meet three orphans in the Land of Rain: Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato. We were worried that they wouldn't survive the war, so we took them in as our disciples. Later, the toads from Mount Myōboku told me that they had died in the war..."

"..."

Kagura Akihara feels that Mount Myōboku is actually a bit unreliable.

Akihara Kagura looked at Jiraiya and sincerely suggested, "If you still miss them, Master, how about we go to the Land of Rain and pay our respects?"

"The Land of Rain is still embroiled in civil war."

Jiraiya didn't quite agree with this opinion.

Because once on the battlefield, the situation becomes difficult to control. Jiraiya was afraid that Akihara Kagura would kill people on the battlefield, as war easily arouses people's bloodlust.

Jiraiya still preferred to take Akihara Kagura to a quiet and peaceful place, so that his disciple wouldn't think about killing people all the time; that was what he should do most.

"Let's go to the next town to rest first."

Jiraiya gestured for his disciple to descend the mountain, then glanced at the leaf-shaped mark on Akihara Kagura's brow: "Can your Sage Mode last this long?"

How long has it been...?

How can this disciple still maintain immortal mode?

In the past, Jiraiya was able to maintain Sage Mode entirely thanks to the help of the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima, who helped him absorb natural energy to synthesize Sage Chakra.

"Want to try out the power of Sage Chakra?"

Looking at Akihara Kagura before him, Jiraiya suddenly couldn't resist a little eager to try: "Want to give Konoha's traditional bell-catching game a shot?"

Are there any prohibited activities?

Akihara Kagura, on the other hand, became quite interested.

"..."

Jiraiya was momentarily speechless.

The tall man's eyes quickly turned serious; he too wanted to know his disciple's true strength. A string of bells appeared in Jiraiya's hand.

"Then...nothing is forbidden?"

As one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, Jiraiya still had some confidence: "Then use your full strength, with the determination to kill me, to take the bell. Even using Sage Mode is fine!"

"Traditionally, you should have two teammates to support you, but I've heard about your abilities, so we don't need those. I'll even give it my all!"

To date, Akihara Kagura has achieved a remarkable record.

Jiraiya still had a certain degree of confidence, but he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could tease this little guy like a child.

"Are there really no restrictions?"

Akihara Kagura asked Jiraiya again, specifically reminding her teacher, "I've learned quite a few powerful techniques during this time..."

"Then let me, the teacher, see for myself!"

Jiraiya put away the string of bells and formed a hand seal of opposition, only to see a look of surprise in his disciple's eyes.

"Before the battle, we need to form a spell like this, right?"

Akihara Kagura mimicked Jiraiya's gesture, making the same hand seal.

"good."

"This is the seal of opposition, symbolizing the beginning of a battle."

"After the battle ends, the two fighting ninjas need to form a reconciliation seal, signifying the end of their struggle."

After Jiraiya finished teaching Akihara Kagura these basic facts, he suddenly rushed towards Akihara Kagura and kicked him in the chest!

"Physical skills?"

Akihara Kagura raised her arm and easily blocked the attack!

Because he is still in Sage Mode, the natural energy within the entire area is providing him with sensory information, allowing him to easily predict the opponent's actions. In fact, Sage Mode can also use the natural energy to make actions that are beyond his prediction!

Akihara Kagura twisted her hand, grabbed Jiraiya's ankle with one hand, and pulled Jiraiya's body down!

Jiraiya immediately realized the immense power of Akihara Kagura!

Unable to break free, the tall man saw someone whose strength was comparable to his old friend for the first time. He could only quickly put his hands together and form hand seals, trying to use the Substitution Jutsu to break free!

"It's locked!"

Jiraiya immediately recalled some uses of Sage Mode: "In Sage Mode, one can control the natural energy within this area, making it impossible to use the Substitution Jutsu..."

"My physical skills are actually not very strong; I only know some basic physical skills from the village."

Akihara Kagura slammed her teacher to the ground with one hand, saying, "But I trained continuously in the village for several months, and even had Sage Mode enhancements..."

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The moment Jiraiya was thrown down, he clasped his hands together to form a hand seal, and slammed his hand on the ground, turning it into a swamp!

Akihara Kagura's body sank into the swamp instantly!

Taking advantage of Akihara Kagura's momentary lapse in concentration, Jiraiya kicked Akihara Kagura in the chest, using the force to break free from Akihara Kagura's grasp, and in doing so, causing his disciple to sink even deeper!

Of course.

Both Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura knew that the swamp on the ground could not cause any trouble. A vine quickly grew out of the swamp and carried Akihara Kagura's body away from the swamp.

"So dealing with Sage Mode is this troublesome..."

Jiraiya quickly flew backward a few steps, and his body immediately disappeared from the spot.

The tall man hid under a tree, feeling defeated by his disciple, yet a smile still lingered on his lips: "I should have entered Sage Mode before announcing the start of the battle. Facing Sage Mode in close combat is far too disadvantageous."

"This little guy..."

"His physical skills aren't that bad..."

"Um?"

"Why is there no movement?"

Jiraiya, hiding behind the tree, frowned. "That brat must know the rules, right? Does he really think I'll fight him head-on?"

Just as Jiraiya was considering whether he should go out and say something, a beam of white light suddenly pierced through the trunk of the big tree!

Even the white light that shot out had no end in its momentum, and it continued to pierce through countless trees. Every tree that was pierced turned into nothingness, until the area where it finally disappeared caused a huge explosion!

"This is... Dust Release?"

Jiraiya stared in horror at the white light.

Although Jiraiya had never seen Dust Release used in this way, it was true that the white light destroyed the trees and turned the trunks into nothingness!

This is Dust Release!

Dust Release: The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki!

Isn't the bloodline limit inside this brat Wood Release?

Just as Jiraiya was recalling the kidnapping case involving Akihara Kagura and the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, a figure slowly descended from the sky: "This is a technique I stole when I kidnapped the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. Although its power is not as great as the Wood Release within me, it still possesses considerable strength..."

Second update!

There will be more later, I really want to do something special...
