Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Yun, who had returned, flicked Izumi's forehead with her finger: "Aiming too high is no good. At your current level, I reckon you'd need to train properly for a month or two even with Chidori. As for Raikiri and the Raiden just now... just think about it."

Quan pouted. What do you mean, "just thinking about it is fine"? Although her talent might not be as good as some monster's, it was still pretty impressive, okay?

"Don't underestimate me! I will definitely master Chidori, Raikiri, and even that Raiden you just used!"

Yun smiled and replied, "We'll see."

Subsequently, with Izumi activating his double-tomoe Sharingan, Yun repeatedly demonstrated and explained the process.

An hour later, Izumi began practicing by himself.

The nature and form changes of lightning-style chakra required for Chidori are not as terrifying as those for Rasenshuriken, since the two ninjutsu are not on the same level.

In my memory, it took the protagonist Erzhuzi about a month, and Quan should have taken about the same amount of time.

After genjutsu stopped working, it's possible that Izumi's Sharingan level would only ever reach the three-tomoe stage. Even without the Mangekyou Sharingan, the subsequent Chidori techniques could still be considered a method.

……

Then, Yun leaned against the tree trunk and thought about some things from before.

Six days ago, Minato's instant activation of Sage Mode kept replaying in Yun's mind.

The Wood Release techniques used by the clones never seemed to have the same power as those used by Hashirama Senju. However, considering the names of those abnormal Wood Release techniques from my memories, I turned my attention to Sage Mode.

For example: Sage Art: Myojinmon, Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands...

Perhaps it's because of magic?

Immortal arts are powers based on natural energy. And the only known sources of natural energy are the three sacred lands and Jugo.

Minato's Sage Mode likely originated from Mount Myōboku, while Hashirama Senju's came from Shikkotsu Forest.

These two people are clearly no longer able to give themselves any leverage, and it's not worth wasting the opportunity to make a deal.

As for Tsunade, who's probably still in some casino somewhere, don't even dream about the Senju clan signing a summoning contract with an Uchiha's name on it.

There's also Ryuchi Cave, where I remember Kabuto in Sage Mode, and he looked incredibly ugly.

So, is it possible to learn it on your own?

In the TV version, when Gamamaru was teaching Hagoromo, there was no toad oil.

Then, in Naruto's memory, the toad named Fukasaku once said something like this: it's impossible to absorb natural energy through movement.

As he said this, Naruto, who was running, seemed to have absorbed an excessive amount of natural energy, causing him to turn into a toad, so Fukasaku hit him with a stick.

So this statement can perhaps be understood as: one can absorb natural energy during exercise, but achieving balance is not possible.

However, there is an essential prerequisite for cultivating immortal techniques: one's own vast chakra reserves.

Natural energy is absorbed into the body and reaches a certain balance with physical and mental energy, thus forming a facial mask and achieving the immortal state.

This explanation reveals why a vast amount of chakra is fundamental.

Given the amount of chakra the First Hokage possessed, he could probably absorb a massive amount of natural energy in an instant, and then use that as a foundation to mobilize an equal amount of physical and mental energy to instantly activate Sage Mode.

However, this makes the instantaneous opening of the water gate seem illogical.

Minato's chakra reserves were not that vast, and he himself admitted that he wasn't very good at it.

Yun leaned against the tree trunk and fell into deep thought. He couldn't quite recall that he had said such things to Kakashi in his memory. It didn't have to be a lie or a display of humility.

So……

Is it a reaction?!

Minato's strength has never lay in the Flying Thunder God Technique, but in his reaction arc!

Yun knew this clearly from the very first transaction.

So, can such a reaction accurately and instantly determine how much natural energy is needed?

Furthermore, the Sage Mode Naruto acquired through his training methods, as remembered, is the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, while the First Hokage's is the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest.

Will this difference mean that Wood Release is still incomplete?

Thinking of this, Yun shook her head.

We still have to try. Also, Sage Mode works on Wood Release, so perhaps we can make some contact with Tsunade as Uzumaki Sora.

As for the deal... besides the Senju bloodline, Tsunade had nothing else he wanted.

……

The spring below was constantly practicing the starting move of Chidori, while the cloud on the tree trunk sat cross-legged and motionless, as if it had fallen asleep.

One hour, two hours...

Yun opened his eyes and scratched his head, still unable to calm down.

This is also a drawback of the soul memory, after all, how can people who have experienced the information explosion calm their minds?

Moreover, such a casually placed tree trunk is not a good place for spiritual practice.

Well, since it's for the clone's use anyway, let the clone find a place to cultivate.

……

Meanwhile, within the Land of Fire.

"Ku, where are we going? We're already in the Land of Fire. Konoha is not to be trifled with these days."

Uzumaki Sora turned to look at Biwa Juzo: "Go and obtain a share of power. You won't clash with Konoha, at least not now is the time."

Behind him, Juzo Biwa nodded: "I heard that Uchiha Kumo from the Uchiha clan, the guy known as the Ghost of Konoha, seems to have the same eyes as you."

Uzumaki Sora smiled and said, "The power I gained through this transaction is from Uzumaki, not Uchiha."

As they spoke, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Is it the Grell Stone and natural energy?

If either of these two points matches the conjecture, then Hashirama Senju's Wood Release power will be enough to reappear.

As long as one can sense and absorb it, the one thing one has in abundance in one's body right now is chakra.

A day later, Uzumaki Sora and Biwa Juzo arrived at the edge of a cliff, and below the cliff was a thick fog.

Have we arrived?

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "Not yet, Juzo, make the fog a little bigger."

Upon hearing this, although he didn't know what Ku was going to do, Pipa Juzo still formed hand seals and cast the Mist Concealment Technique, which made the surrounding mist even thicker in an instant.

Although He Yan's family were traveling merchants, they also bore the responsibility of protecting this ruin.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, just sneak in.

According to the information from the main body, Sora and Juzo Biwa fell off the cliff, and in the Sharingan with three tomoe, a landing point appeared in the clouds.

After landing, Juzo looked around. Although the area was shrouded in mist, the buildings that could be vaguely seen were enough to demonstrate the sheer size of the ruins.

"Let's go. Without information here, that place will be really hard to find."

With that, Sora led the way, taking Pipa Juzo deeper into the ruins.

After a long while, the two arrived at the place with three round discs.

With a slight movement of the edge of the central disc, the disc beneath their feet fell to the ground.

Neither of them panicked, but Pipa Juzo did ask, "You know about the secret passages in this kind of place? And what kind of place is this?"

Kong smiled and replied, "A relic from one or two thousand years ago? Anyway, it should be before the Warring States period. After all, the owner of this relic boasted that he almost unified the continent with the help of this power."

Unify the entire continent?

Such remarks were dismissed by Hibiki Juzo, who believed that many historical sites were exaggerated or fabricated.

For example, the legend of Kusagakure?

The ninja villages have only been established for a few decades. How could a place like Kusagakure unify the ninja world?

Is it a dream?

This is absolutely outrageous...

Chapter 167: The Qualitative Change of Wood Release

After the mechanism was activated, the disc descended, and soon the two of them had descended to the ground.

"How can something so ancient still move?"

Pipa Juzo was slightly surprised. After falling from the cliff, the entire ancient building exuded an air of antiquity.

Whirlpool Kong smiled and replied, "This place lacks everything, but it doesn't lack energy."

After the two reached the underground, they stepped out of the giant disc-shaped rock and were greeted by a large, domed hall.

Is it a sealed land?

Vortex looked around and saw many murals on the ancient walls, scanning them one by one.

Some of these records document how the people of this country refined the Grellite, while many more recount the terrible power of the Grellite that brought disaster upon them.

Kong walked slowly, scanning the murals one by one.

The Grell Stone, brimming with life energy, can fill a dried-up well with water so it never dries up, can make poultry grow overnight, and can make fruit trees and crops ripen overnight...

It can even... prevent biological aging!

This power is remarkably similar to the Tree World Advent technique of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Life energy...

The same phrase, when applied to the first generation, refers to the ability to heal without using any special techniques.

Looking at the murals beside him, Pipa Juzo exclaimed in amazement, "I'm getting more and more curious about where you got your information. How did you discover this ancient architectural complex hidden in the valley by clouds and mist?"

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "The longer it goes on, the more amazed you will be. The path to peace inevitably involves political maneuvering, and while power cannot completely control politics, it is an indispensable condition..."

Saying something that left Hibiki Juzo completely bewildered, Sora walked to the center of this sealed place.

Beneath its feet are concentric circles of patterns, and within every two concentric circles are incomprehensible symbols.

He crouched down and reached out to touch the symbols on the ground.
