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

Chapter 508 Planning ahead means no worries about flaws!

Nara Rinkei stood on the head of the wooden Thousand-Armed Buddha statue, and did not immediately "step down".

This wasn't because he didn't hear Tsunade calling out.

Nara Rangatsu is currently unable to jump from a height of several hundred meters simply because his chakra has been completely depleted.

That's more than just courting death.

That's practically suicide!

"It seems that the Great Pillar's [Sage Mode] still hasn't solved the battery life problem."

Nara Lan Gui sat cross-legged on the Buddha's head, rapidly refining his Yin Release chakra while reviewing the test results.

"After Wood Release chakra and natural energy are combined to form Sage Chakra, only Sage Chakra remains in the body."

"Once the Sage Chakra is depleted, it is still possible to refine the chakra again, absorb natural energy, and synthesize Sage Chakra."

"But there is still a gap period, or a 'cooling-off period' in between.

"That is, after the Sage Chakra is exhausted, one's own combat state cannot be maintained at all."

The three generations of sage practitioners at Mount Myōboku all encountered similar problems, and they each had their own corresponding methods.

Let's leave Minato Namikaze aside for now.

Jiraiya resolved this "cooldown period" by having the two great sages combine their powers, using the [Sage Art: Twin Life Technique].

Naruto's solution was to create several Shadow Clones in advance and have them refine Sage Chakra.

After all, the chakra of the shadow clone and the original body can be exchanged and circulated.

Once the Shadow Clone Technique is dispelled, but the Shadow Clone's chakra is not exhausted, the chakra within his body will flow back to his original body.

In layman's terms, Naruto Uzumaki used several "clone batteries".

Prior to today, Nara Rangsei had also considered this issue.

With his current abilities, he could easily replicate the skills of Jiraiya or Naruto Uzumaki.

Fukasaku and Shima can extend the duration of their Sage Mode using the Sage Art: Twin Life Technique.

The principle behind this is simply that the two great sages took on the tasks of "refining chakra", "absorbing natural energy", and "synthesizing sage chakra" for Jiraiya.

Although Nara Rinkashi didn't have the help of the two little toad sages, he did have the help of the live slug sage!

The Living Slug Sage's [Slug Great Split] can perfectly solve this problem.

At the same time, Nara Lan Kei can also easily perform the "split battery" operation.

He is not only proficient in the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique], but also in its upgraded version, the [Shadow Clone Technique]!

"Both the [Immortal Technique: Twin Life Technique] and the 'Clone Battery' can be included in the plan."

"In addition, the methods I previously considered, such as the 'Sage Mask Battery,' 'Chakra Crystal,' and 'Yin Seal Battery,' can now be put into formal practice."

Although the best solution for "all-weather Sage Mode" has not yet been found.

However, the methods that Nara Rinka considered are indeed good solutions to the problem of the short battery life of the "Sage Mode".

"Prioritize the [Chakra Crystallization] plan, followed by the [Yin Seal], and then the [Sage Mask]..."

Nara Rinka took a deep breath, and a shadow eagle emerged from the shadows, carrying him down to the Wet Bone Forest below.

"Nara, you're so slow!"

Tsunade patted Nara Rinkazu's shoulder lightly, then turned her gaze to the wooden thousand-armed Buddha statue.

"This ninjutsu... it must be the True Several Thousand Hands, right? The effect is just too exaggerated..."

Looking at the terrifying thousand-armed Buddha statue, hundreds of meters tall, in the Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade finally understood how the Valley of the End came to be.

Legend has it that when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha made their duel at the Valley of the End, Hashirama used his immense power to alter the terrain, turning the plain into a canyon.

Tsunade was initially somewhat doubtful; could the power of ninjutsu really reach such a level?

The most powerful ninjutsu she has ever encountered is probably Nara Rinka's [Dark Spiral Wheel] or [Tailed Beast Ball].

However, neither the Dark Spiral Wheel nor the Tailed Beast Ball is powerful enough to easily alter the terrain.

But the truth is that although Tsunade is already one of the Legendary Sannin, her vision is still somewhat limited.

The power of ninjutsu is truly capable of overturning mountains and seas, and changing the world!

Even Tsunade didn't know what power still existed in the ninja world that could withstand the bombardment of the True Several Thousand Hands.

"This ninjutsu is indeed very powerful."

Even the slug immortal, whose body had shrunk (split) to a length of over ten meters, couldn't help but praise it.

"If Lord Lan Gui had a little more chakra, he could have unleashed the full power of this ninjutsu."

How acute are the Slug Sage's senses?

After Nara Rinka released [Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands], it clearly sensed that the opponent's aura suddenly became weak.

With the experience and knowledge of the Living Slug Immortal, it is not difficult to determine the real reason for this sudden change.

But the Living Slug Fairy also felt a sense of relief.

If Nara Rinka had used enough Sage Mode chakra, Shikkotsu Forest might have been in disaster today...

Nara Rinka smiled and shook his head, not responding to the Living Slug Immortal's words.

He was well aware of his relatively low chakra reserves.

However, it's unrealistic to expect chakra to increase rapidly.

Without the aid of "technology" or "mutation" or other cheat methods, a ninja's chakra reserves are ultimately limited.

Nara Rinka doesn't want to transplant foreign cells, nor does she want to seal the tailed beasts. If she wants to increase her chakra, she can only do it slowly.

Fortunately, he not only had the help of the Lazy Demon Panel, but also mastered the ninjutsu of Yang Release Chakra Mode.

Given enough time for Nara Rinka to "develop," his chakra reserves will definitely continue to grow.

But...

Nara Rinkasa's mind was suddenly filled with Master Chungaku's words of advice.

To cultivate Pure Sage Mode, one must definitely relinquish chakra as an energy.

If you want to increase your chakra, don't force it; just let it happen naturally...

"Living Slug Sage, send a small clone of yourself over here."

Nara Lan Gui extends his right hand to the Living Slug Sage.

"Let's try it and see how it goes."

The Living Slug Immortal readily complied and immediately split off a slug the size of a palm, which crawled onto Nara Rinka's palm.

Nara Rinka gave Tsunade a "calm down" look and once again entered the training state of [Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju].

The little clone of the Living Slug Sage lay quietly in Nara Rinka's palm, constantly sensing the changes in the strength of the natural energy within the latter's body.

Nara Rinka has been practicing the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] and the [Immortal Clan Breathing Method] for a long time. Even if there is a trace of natural energy in his body, it will not affect his personal condition.

After some testing, Nara Rinkei discovered that the Living Slug Sage's clone could indeed help absorb excess natural energy from the body, and he was immediately relieved.

"Tsunade-neechan, you can come over now."

Nara Rinka extended her left index finger, from which an extremely thin [shadow thread] emerged.

"Did you convert all the chakra in your body into Wood Release chakra?"

"Everything was ready long ago!"

Tsunade walked over to Nara Rinka and sat down cross-legged.

"We've been waiting for you!"

The Slug Sage immediately split off another clone, which climbed onto Tsunade's shoulder.

Shadow Manipulation Technique!

Nara Rinkazu's fingertips connected the [Shadow Threads] to Tsunade's body, and his consciousness immediately gained control of Tsunade's body.

At the same time, the abundant Wood Release chakra within Tsunade's body was clearly perceived by Nara Rinka.

"Putting aside Yin Release chakra, just considering regular chakra, Tsunade is still far superior to me..."

Nara Rinka quickly cleared her mind of distractions, controlled Tsunade's body, absorbed the natural energy from Shikkotsu Forest, and simultaneously fused it with the Wood Release chakra within her body.

The Living Slug Sage kept a close eye on Tsunade's internal changes and found that she had neither absorbed more nor less natural energy, so he was immediately relieved.

Not long after.

An ancient and somber black mask appeared on Tsunade's alluring face.

[Wood Release: Sage Mode], complete!

The Legend of the Fat Sheep's Immortal Cultivation is complete!

After confirming that there were no abnormalities in Tsunade's body, Nara Rinka's consciousness immediately withdrew from her body.

Tsunade slowly opened her eyes, and the moment she took control of her body, she felt an unprecedented sense of power.

"Nara!"

The Fairy of Fat Sheep clenched her fist suddenly, and the air crackled as she squeezed it.

"Come on, let's practice!"

Two updates today.

I caught a cold...
