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

Chapter 496 [S-Rank Technique: Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju]!

Master Zhongjue drifted over like the wind.

The former abbot may have anticipated Nara Rangsei's decision.

When he "floated" over, he was carrying several ninjutsu scrolls in his arms.

"Lord Hokage, please take a look."

Master Chung-kaku stacked the scrolls together and placed them on the table in front of Nara Rang-kei.

"These ninjutsu are some of the fully developed techniques that my Fire Temple possesses."

Not only are they giving away knowledge, but they're also giving away ninjutsu?

Nara Rinka raised an eyebrow, thanked him, and then picked up the scroll to start reading.

Among the scrolls brought by Master Chungaku, several were sage techniques that had been previously given to the Nara clan.

These are [Welcome Thousand Hands Kill], [Vajra Fist], and [Immortal Breathing Technique].

However, there are also a few "new" ninjutsu techniques.

This includes the foundational technique used by the Fire Temple to cultivate immortal talents—the [Immortal Guidance Technique]!

Last time, Master Zhongjue did not pass the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] to the Nara clan.

This time, the abbot took the initiative to offer it again.

Perhaps it was because the scroll depicting the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] could resonate with the Fourth Hokage in some new way...

Nara Rinka ignored the three old spells, picked up the spell scroll of the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] and browsed through it. He found that the contents recorded on it were no different from the contents of the D-rank spell scroll he had obtained from the Land of the Dead.

Since there was nothing new to it, this book, "Immortal Clan Guiding Techniques," naturally failed to attract Nara Ranke's interest.

Similar to the "new" technique [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique], there is another one—the C-level physical technique [Arhat Fist].

Regarding the "Arhat Fist," it was also one of the "gains" Nara Rinkei had during his last visit to the Fire Temple.

Last time I visited the Fire Temple in Nara, I only beat up two monks: Jiraiya and another bald guy whose name I don't know.

Then he obtained two techniques: the D-rank [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] and the C-rank [Arhat Fist].

To be honest, the Arhat Fist is indeed a comprehensive and systematic fluid fist technique.

If you give the [Arhat Fist] to the right ninja, it might have an unexpected effect.

However, the appeal of the "Arhat Fist" to Nara Rinkei is close to zero!

Unless it is absolutely necessary, or it is just a whim.

Nara Rankei generally doesn't compete in hand-to-hand combat with other opponents.

Although his [Strength] and [Speed] attributes have increased in recent years, they have basically had no opportunity to be displayed.

Within the Fire Temple, there is another martial art similar to the "Arhat Fist," namely the "Vajra Fist" mentioned above.

A more accurate statement would be...

【Vajra Fist】is a divine body technique.

"Sage Body Technique" is a technique that uses Sage Chakra to deliver offensive damage!

Before obtaining [Sage Mode], Nara Rinka couldn't synthesize Sage Chakra and couldn't unleash the full attack power of [Diamond Fist].

Now that he has obtained the power of two Sage Modes, he should be able to use the Vajra Fist smoothly, but unfortunately he has not been able to find a suitable opponent.

"Hmm? Come to think of it, I didn't notice this problem back then, but now that I think about it carefully..."

How did the Fire Temple come to possess the "Diamond Fist," a powerful fist-style chakra technique that utilizes Sage Chakra to deal damage?

"Master Chung-kaku's path of cultivation isn't this at all! He doesn't even have chakra, let alone Sage Chakra!"

"Could it be a special immortal body technique developed by some immortal genius from the history of the Fire Temple?"

"But since there's the example of the [Diamond Fist], it means that the Fire Temple has—or at least historically has—a history of creating Sage Chakra, meaning the Fire Temple has had contact with Sage Mode!"

Could it be that the Fire Temple has developed a human version of Sage Mode!?

Upon thinking of this, Nara Rinka was overjoyed.

He immediately put down the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] in his hand and rummaged through the scrolls brought by Master Zhongjue.

then.

Nara Rinkazu discovered a rather unique S-rank technique—

[S-Rank Technique: Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju]

[Technique Description: Beyond the limits of mortals! The power of the ninja god!]

[Technique Effect: Absorbs natural energy from the earth, atmosphere, and ocean, and merges it with one's own Wood Release chakra to create Sage Art: Wood Release Chakra, which greatly enhances the effectiveness of one's Wood Release ninjutsu.]

Note: Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju is a Sage Mode developed by Hashirama Senju based on the training methods of the Sage Clan of the Fire Temple and combined with his own characteristics.

Others who train in Sage Mode: Hashirama Senju must be users of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. During training, they will also experience a certain degree of facial alteration, specifically manifested as forehead and eye wrinkles.

[Surgery Evaluation: Hot Mom from Harbin—!!!]

"hiss--"

Nara Rinkashi gasped, as if the temperature at the entire Fire Temple had dropped several degrees.

A huge pillar!

You big pillar, you're something else!

You left Sage Mode at the Fire Temple, something that doesn't exist in Konoha or even the Senju clan?!

Looking at the S-rank technique [Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju] on the panel, Nara Ranke recalled the scene when he went to Shikkotsu Forest in reverse and asked the Slug Sage for advice.

Nara Rinka remembered that he had asked the Living Slug Sage about how the Great Pillar's "Sage Mode" came about.

He was genuinely quite curious about this issue.

Because there are truly many mysteries surrounding Hashirama Senju.

His many abilities seemed to have fallen from the sky, without any warning or explanation.

Especially the [Birth of the Tree Realm].

Well known.

【The Birth of the Tree Realm】is divided into three versions.

Yamato's "Birth of the Sea of ​​Trees".

The "Birth of the Tree Realm" of the Great Pillar.

The "Birth of the God Tree World" of the Otsutsuki.

Although they are all from the "Big" group, it is obvious that these three are not using the same tactics.

Unfortunately, Hashirama Senju's bloodline limit ninjutsu shares the same name as Kaguya Otsutsuki's bloodline limit ninjutsu.

Nara Rankei even suspected that the Great Pillar's Sage Mode might also be a cheat code he received from the Sage of Six Paths' "Pure Land Transmission"...

After all, the Sage of Six Paths' favoritism towards his youngest son (Ashura) is not a matter of just a day or two, or even a year or two, but has been the case for thousands of years.

In addition, Nara Rinka also suspects that the Great Pillar's Sage Mode may have originated from Shikkotsu Forest.

Because Tsunade made a summoning contract with Shikkotsu-no-Rin, and there is no proof of the origin of this contract...

On that day, the Slug Sage explicitly told Nara Rinka that Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode did not originate from Shikkotsu Forest, but was a ninjutsu he developed himself, which also referenced the training methods of the Fire Temple! (Chapter 434)

Upon inspection today, it is indeed the case.

Compared to [Sage Mode: Hashirama Senju].

Other things like "Wrathful Vajra" and "Sealed Iron Wall"... have all become garbage.

All I can say about Nara Langui is a sigh.

Big Pillar, forever a god!
