With Sasuke and Naruto both having begun their own training plans, Naruto followed Jiraiya to train in Sage Mode, while Sakura would probably study some ninjutsu under Tsunade. As for whether Tsunade would send her to Shikkotsu Forest, that was hard to say.
Sasuke, meanwhile, understood that he was not yet Itachi's match. He had even greater troubles to deal with himself. He could now be certain that Orochimaru had not truly died; Orochimaru was still influencing his thoughts.
In truth, Itachi had not intended to use Tsukuyomi on Sasuke right away. He had only used it after noticing that something was wrong with Sasuke. After all, if he got serious, Sasuke would not be his opponent even if he trained for several more years.
As for Moriyue, things were somewhat delicate.
From the beginning, that so-called goddess had seemed rather unwilling, as though she had been forced to accept Moriyue's challenge. Earlier, she had even put on an act behind that stone door.
Moriyue had no interest in playing this childish game with them. In his view, they only needed to tell him the exact method for training in wind-style Sage Mode. These trials were merely meant to select those suited to training in Sage Mode, but Moriyue had no such problem.
"You mean you want to train in Sage Mode right now?"
Tagorihime wore a strange expression after hearing Moriyue's words. At first, she had planned to teach this rude fellow a lesson, but upon hearing that, she laughed.
"Fine. I'll tell you how to train in Sage Mode right now..."
Her slender red tongue curled through the air. Moriyue had no idea what she was plotting, but after glancing down at the stone statues behind him, he seemed to understand what was going through her mind.
