Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

#161 - Chapter 161 Immortal Art Training

Mount Myōboku.

Since the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Stone Villages ceased their attacks on the Hidden Leaf Village.

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya came to Mount Myōboku, where they trained in Sage Jutsu under the guidance of Lord Fukasaku.

During this process, Minato Namikaze displayed a talent that astonished Fukasaku.

Jiraiya had been training for over a decade, and even now, he hadn't perfectly mastered Sage Mode. Yet, Minato Namikaze completely mastered it in less than two weeks.

This made Fukasaku exclaim in disbelief.

However, although Minato Namikaze could be said to have mastered Sage Mode and sensed its power, he didn't feel happy about it. Instead, he felt somewhat troubled.

Because he discovered that Sage Mode didn't seem to mesh well with his combat style!

Minato wasn't like his teacher Jiraiya, an attack-type ninja who mainly used ninjutsu.

Therefore, the increase in ninjutsu power from Sage Jutsu wasn't very useful to Minato.

Secondly, Minato's primary combat style now was using the Flying Thunder God Technique in conjunction with the Rasengan and ninja tools, like an assassin, to instantly kill enemies.

But Sage Mode required time to gather natural energy, and its duration was only five minutes.

One emphasized speed, while the other emphasized slowness!

With the time it took to gather natural energy, Minato could have already swept across a battlefield using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

From this perspective, Sage Mode was quite useless to Minato!

But Minato couldn't give up on Sage Mode!

Because he told Lord Fukasaku about his troubles, and Lord Fukasaku said something that he would never forget.

"Minato, only Sage Jutsu can counter Sage Jutsu!"

Understanding Lord Fukasaku's meaning, Minato began to continue training in Sage Mode.

However, this time, he began to focus his Sage Mode training on the development of the Rasengan ninjutsu.

Ever since Minato developed the Rasengan, he had realized that the Rasengan he had developed was only the most basic form, and there were more complex forms, which involved incorporating chakra nature transformations into it.

Minato had tried it before, but due to some side effects, Minato temporarily gave up.

For example, he had once tried to incorporate wind-style chakra nature transformation into the Rasengan, but because of the instability of wind-style chakra, it caused terrible damage to his arm. If it weren't for Kushina, his entire arm would have been ruined.

However, since Minato began to master Sage Jutsu, he found that his control over chakra had become more stable. So, he began to refocus his training on the development of the Rasengan's nature transformations...

Dragon Oasis.

In the desert on the edge.

Yōkai, one of the two major combat forces of the Hidden Sand Village, was also training in Sage Jutsu here.

Because her secret technique, Scorch Release, was too special, the scorching heat would destroy the forests that had barely grown and the small courtyard she had built. Therefore, she could only come here to practice her secret technique.

After more than half a month of training, Yōkai had now independently completed the ability to sense, absorb, and control Sage Jutsu energy.

Then, the next step was the development of techniques, incorporating Sage Jutsu energy into the techniques.

As Yōkai's proud secret technique, Scorch Release was naturally the focus of her development.

Unlike Minato's very incompatible combat style, Yōkai's Scorch Release and Sage Jutsu energy could be said to be a perfect match.

First of all, the existence of Sage Jutsu energy greatly increased the time Yōkai could use Scorch Release.

Especially her most powerful move: Scorch Release Chakra Mode.

In the past, when it was first developed, she could only use it for five minutes at most, and the chakra in her body would be somewhat unsustainable. After all, she wasn't a Tailed Beast, and being able to develop a Scorch Release Chakra Mode like the Tailed Beast Cloak required the power of Star Release chakra to squeeze the potential of her body. But now, with Sage Jutsu energy, when she used Scorch Release Chakra Mode, the original chakra consumption was directly reduced by one-third.

The reason was also very simple. Yōkai couldn't simply use Sage Jutsu energy now. She still could only mix Sage Jutsu energy and chakra, just like the Sage Jutsu of the Three Great Sacred Places. And this ratio, after Yōkai's experiments and the guidance of Tagorihime, achieved a perfect match at a ratio of 2:1.

Simply put, it used to take three parts of chakra to use one part of Scorch Release chakra power, but now it only took two parts, with one part being replaced by Sage Jutsu energy.

And the gentleness of Sage Jutsu energy also greatly improved Yōkai's control over Scorch Release, reducing unnecessary consumption.

Now, Yōkai's time using Scorch Release Chakra Mode has tripled.

From five minutes to fifteen minutes.

This may still seem like a short time, but from another perspective, you can see how remarkable this progress is.

That is, the current Yōkai is three times stronger than she used to be.

And that's an understatement!

Because, with the help of Sage Jutsu energy's chakra absorption properties, Yōkai has also improved her defensive ability in the Scorch Release chakra state, especially against ninjutsu attacks, she has achieved a certain degree of immunity.

In addition, the vitality of Sage Jutsu energy has also improved her own vitality, making up for some of the deficiencies in her body, and greatly improving her physical fitness.

The most obvious thing is that, as a woman, Yōkai can clearly find that her skin seems to be getting better and better.

Finally, Yōkai also learned the Dragon Cave's Sage Jutsu: Inorganic Reincarnation from Tagorihime.

This is definitely the most suitable Sage Jutsu for Yōkai.

She can give life to the flames she controls, allowing them to transform into different forms to attack.

This makes up for the problem of Yōkai's single attack method.

She has developed various techniques with this, turning her flames into all kinds of creatures, greatly increasing the destructive power and attack power of her Scorch Release...

And on the other side of the Dragon Oasis.

Mikawa, who is also one of the two major combat forces of the Hidden Sand Village, has also successfully mastered Sage Jutsu energy, and his strength has been greatly improved.

The focus of his development is naturally on his Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release.

Like Yōkai, after mastering Sage Jutsu energy, Mikawa gained similar abilities.

Including, the power of his Magnet Release has also been greatly improved. In addition to controlling the range and weight of iron sand, the control of iron sand is also more free. The chakra absorption ability of Sage Jutsu energy has also greatly improved the defensive power of iron sand.

Secondly, the vitality of Sage Jutsu energy has also made him, who is already in his thirties, feel like he has returned to his twenties.

Then, he also learned a Dragon Cave Sage Jutsu from Tagorihime.

However, unlike Yōkai, Mikawa chose Object Transformation.

This allowed Mikawa to get rid of the need for iron sand. Even if there wasn't much iron sand in his environment, he could still directly use chakra to create iron sand through the ability of Object Transformation.

Finally, unlike Yōkai, who couldn't bring herself to ask Rasa for advice because of her pride, Mikawa didn't mind asking Rasa for advice and gained a lot of inspiration in the development of Magnet Release and Sage Jutsu energy.

Just then, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village finally stopped hiding and mobilized their ninjas to rush towards the Land of Wind.

And the reason for the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village's urgency was because the cooperation between the Hidden Sand Village, the Land of Demons, and the Akatsuki organization was revealed...
