I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 434 The Immortal Mode in the Wet Bone Forest!

"Lord Nara, since you can already sense the natural energy in Shikkotsu Forest, and even gather this natural energy into the ninjutsu you perform."

The Living Slug Sage split off a tiny slug, which wriggled in front of Nara Rinka and calmly explained.

"Then starting your training in [Sage Mode] should be no problem for you at all."

The "beginning of cultivation" that the Living Slug Sage refers to is actually the perception of the existence of natural energy.

The three holy sites.

Whether it's Mount Myoboku, Shikotsu Forest, or Ryuchi Cave.

The fundamental principle of the Sage Mode that it has inherited is to harmoniously blend one's own chakra with the natural energy of the outside world, thereby forming "Sage Chakra" with a quality far exceeding that of ordinary chakra.

Nara Rinka was well aware of this.

However, he had never personally witnessed the inheritors of the immortal arts of the Wet Bone Forest, and was quite curious about the immortal arts inheritance system of the Wet Bone Forest.

"The Living Slug Immortal"

Nara Langui asked for advice.

"If a psychic contractor is unable to sense the existence of natural energy but still wants to cultivate the [Sage Mode] of Shikkotsu Forest, do you have any other methods?"

"Of course there are."

The slug fairy twisted its body, and a thin, sticky, translucent liquid secreted from its soft, blue-and-white body.

"Lord Nara, look, this is a special mucus that I secrete."

"Because my cells are quite special, the mucus I secrete also has a certain effect of accumulating natural energy."

"If someone wants to practice the immortal arts of the Wet Bone Forest but doesn't want to waste too much time on sensing the existence of natural energy, then he can use this slime to practice."

"As long as you apply the mucus I secrete to the surface of your body, the surrounding natural energy will automatically gather there. Those with keen senses may only need to do it once to be able to clearly sense the presence of natural energy."

The slime secreted by the live slug fairy?

Nara Rinka felt a sense of both surprise and inevitability.

Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave each possess their own lineage of sage techniques, and each also has corresponding materials to aid in the cultivation of these techniques.

Like the toad oil from Mount Myoboku, it can also help users perceive the presence of natural energy.

As for Ryūji-dong...

The venom secreted by the White Snake Immortal, though highly poisonous, can also sense natural energy.

The magical tradition of Shikkotsu Forest uses a special mucus secreted by the Living Slug Sage to enhance one's perception of natural energy...

It's not entirely unacceptable.

"Give Nara some time to understand," the Living Slug Immortal added.

"However, Lord Nara is not a beginner in Sage Mode. The mucus I secrete will not have any additional effect on Lord Nara."

"Living Slug Sage, I have another question I'd like to ask you."

Nara Rinka raised his hands, intending to unleash the Myoboku Mountain's [Sage Mode] in front of the Living Slug Sage.

But then he thought again that his compatibility with [Sage Mode - Mount Myoboku] was too low, and his physical mutation was too obvious.

I'd better not embarrass myself by showing off...

"I have been practicing the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku for some time now. Although I can successfully fuse chakra with natural energy to form higher quality Sage Chakra, the burden on my body's cells is too great."

Nara Rinka said in a deep voice.

"While maintaining Sage Mode, my body cells also undergo certain mutations due to the presence of Sage Chakra."

"I wonder if the Living Slug Immortal has a way to solve this problem?"

【Sage Mode - Mount Myōboku】Good as it may be.

But it's just too ugly!

Also.

Although Nara Rangei had never trained in [Sage Mode - Ryuchi Cave], he knew that Ryuchi Cave's [Sage Mode] would also cause extremely terrifying physical mutations.

If the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku is about turning humans into toads...

The Immortal Mode of the Dragon Cave is to turn humans into snakes!

Those like the Kaguya, with horns on its head, corneas in its pupils, white scales covering its body, and a tail growing from its navel (just kidding), are considered relatively good.

Orochimaru, who failed to master Sage Mode at Ryuchi Cave, couldn't even maintain his human form. He looked like a pale, giant snake made up of countless tiny white scales!

This is utterly inhuman!

Although I didn't spend much time training in Nara's Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku, I was well aware of how powerful its "uglification" effect was.

Among the three holy lands, the three top immortals have the deepest understanding of the "Immortal Mode".

The Great Toad Immortal.

White Snake Immortal.

The Living Slug Immortal.

Regarding the issue of the negative portrayal of [Sage Mode - Mount Myoboku].

If Nara Rangsuke were to go directly to Mount Myōboku to consult the Great Toad Sage...

He couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

To know.

The Great Toad Sage possesses extremely rare and unique prophetic abilities.

In a sense, the Great Toad Sage can even be considered Nara Rangsei's "natural enemy".

If Nara Rinka's strength is strong enough, strong enough to suppress Mount Myōboku with one hand.

He wouldn't have any special feelings towards Mount Myōboku.

The key point is that Nara Rinka's strength is no match for the Great Toad Sage!

This is really a headache...

Therefore, Nara Rangsuke has always kept his distance from Mount Myōboku.

Previously, the hermit Fukasaku had invited Nara Rangsuke to visit Mount Myōboku.

After some thought, he declined the other party's offer.

But the Living Slug Immortal is different.

Unlike Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest doesn't like to recruit (train) so-called "children of prophecy" or "saviors" in the ninja world.

The Living Slug Sage doesn't seem to be the Great Toad Sage either, possessing any means of time and space prophecy.

Judging from the brief encounter between Nara Rinka and the Living Slug Sage.

The personality of the Living Slug Sage...

It's still quite soft.

If we were to rank the three sacred sites based on my personal impressions of Nara Rinka, then...

Shigulin is number one.

Ryongji Cave is the second best.

Mount Myoboku can only be listed last.

The slugs of the Wet Bone Forest are unassuming and discreet.

The characteristics of a cute creature are even stronger than those of an immortal.

No matter how cold-blooded and cruel the giant snakes of Ryūchi Cave are, they at least made it clear that they were never good animals.

But the toads of Mount Myoboku...

I really don't understand Nara Rinka.

Powerful beings, caring for humanity, nurturing the strong...

Nara Rinkaku can completely understand this process.

The fundamental problem lies in the fact that Mount Myoboku added very obvious charlatan tactics to this process.

prophecy!

The chosen one is unique; there is no other possibility.

Nara Rinka found this thing extremely disgusting.

This is even more disgusting than the old man Liudao openly giving his son a cheat code.

It's probably that sun god on the other side of the ocean who "prophesied" that he would be the Pirate King!

"Of course there is a way, Lord Nara."

The Living Slug Sage was unaware of the complex thoughts swirling within Nara Rinka at that moment. After a moment of contemplation, it slowly replied.

"The immortal mode of the three holy lands is, in essence, the immortal mode of snakes, frogs, and slugs."

"The only way for Lord Nara to solve your problem is to create your own 'Sage Mode'."

"Not the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest."

"It's the [Sage Mode] that belongs only to humans."
