Heh... Why the Hell Am I Even Fighting?!

"How come you can get in instantly, but others can't?"

Kanami answered with a smile.

Seeing Naruto's surprised expression, he found it quite amusing.

Naruto Uzumaki took a step back, dejectedly saying, "I thought I was the only one who knew this method, but I didn't expect you to know it before me..."

"Method?"

Kanami looked at Naruto with a question in his eyes.

"Stop pretending," Naruto Uzumaki glanced at Kanami with disdain. "Shadow Clone, Shadow Clone. Isn't it just that you used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to absorb Natural Energy in advance at the Holy Land, and then when your main body needed it, you just used the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and the Natural Energy naturally attached itself to your main body?"

After hearing Naruto's words, Kanami finally understood what Naruto meant by his method.

It turns out that this was how he entered Sage Mode using his Shadow Clone at Mount Myōboku.

However, he didn't use Shadow Clone; he actually created one instantly.

Wood Release is inherently very powerful, and when combined with Sage Senjutsu learned from Wood Release Tree Spirit spirit, it gains immense vitality and an innate affinity for Natural Energy.

Therefore, it can be turned on whenever you want, and unlike when Naruto fought Pain, it won't run out of power and you'll have to recharge it.

As long as Kanami doesn't expend too much energy, it's difficult for him to fall out of Sage Mode after activating it, since he can absorb Natural Energy while using it and maintain a perfect 1:1:1 balance.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Sigh, I thought I was the original creator, but it turns out you're the real original one. Sigh."

Naruto Uzumaki looked very disappointed.

Kanami looked at him and said, "That's not right. You don't know that the first person used Shadow Clone to instantly activate Sage Mode, so you should be considered the original creator."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto ran off, tears streaming down his face, crying, "Waaah, Kanami! You're such a good person!"

Kanami quickly dodged and jumped onto the big tree behind him.

"What's so good about it? I didn't use Shadow Clone."

"Ah??"

Naruto's eyes widened again.

"Not Shadow Clone? Then how did you activate Sage Mode so quickly?!"

"Oh, I understand!"

He reacted very quickly, immediately saying, "Because you're using Wood Clone!"

"Haha, trying to be dry humor, huh? I get it all too well."

Kanami:...

Only you could come up with this kind of dry humor.

"No, it's just that I can advance and retreat at any time."

"I don't believe it! How could this be?!"

Even Jiraiya couldn't manage to get in and out in seconds!

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head repeatedly in rebuttal.

"Just because he can't do it doesn't mean I can't."

As Kanami spoke, he fell down from the tree.

Naruto then witnessed a move that would shock him for a year.

The markings on Kanami's forehead that represented Sage Mode disappeared instantly, then reappeared just as quickly.

This was repeated many times in front of him!

He's numb! Naruto Uzumaki is completely numb!

His mouth gaped open, and everyone was stunned.

"Kanami, are you even human?! How did you do that?!"

Kanami chuckled, "You did it just like that, talent."

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly lay down on the ground, spread-eagled.

He looked at the sky in despair.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he was completely bewildered.

"Wouldn't it be humiliating for me to come looking for you like this...?"

He had already deduced from the numerous times Kanami had instantly opened and closed the app that the other party was definitely not Shadow Clone.

He left a maximum of three Shadow Clone at Mount Myōboku, because having more would distract him and prevent him from successfully absorbing Natural Energy.

Suddenly, Kanami's head filled part of his field of vision.

"What's wrong? Giving up already? Aren't you going to compete?"

"..."

"Yes, we'll have to compete to see who's better!"

Naruto Uzumaki was instantly rekindled!

With a sudden, effortless movement, he stood up.

"Come on, Kanami, let me show you my Sage Mode!"

As he spoke, he stood still in place.

Soon, orange eyeshadow appeared next to Naruto Uzumaki's eyes.

As the eyeshadow materialized, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The blue pupils suddenly turned yellow, and the vertical pupil in the middle became a horizontal striped pupil like Toad.

"This is the Sage Mode I learned at Mount Myōboku. Compared to the Sage Mode of the Jiraiya, mine is more human-like."

Naruto said simply.

Kanami nodded, and then the circular pattern reappeared on his forehead.

He instantly entered "Sage Mode" once again.

"Should you go first or me?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked confidently.

After activating his Sage Mode, his demeanor changed completely, becoming more mature and composed compared to before.

This is the change that self-confidence brings to people.

Kanami shook his head. "You go first."

"Me first? With Sage Mode, my Taijutsu, Illusion Technique, Ninjutsu will all be greatly enhanced, and me..."

"Besides the Rasengan, I've also mastered a newly developed Ninjutsu, incredibly powerful, called the Rasenshuriken. If I use it, you might not even have a chance to retaliate."

Naruto Uzumaki said seriously.

Kanami could see the sincerity in his eyes.

Kanami understood that Naruto Uzumaki was genuinely worried about him, and wasn't just putting on an act.

He also knew the power of the Rasenshuriken.

If they were to tough it out like this, they would likely suffer considerable damage, but it probably wouldn't be fatal...

Kanami muttered to himself.

But then a smile appeared on his face, "Alright, I'll go first."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded slightly upon hearing this, crossed his arms, and looked confident.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Kanami clasped his hands together, and the earth instantly began to tremble. Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki standing in front of him, was so shaken that he had to use Chakra absorption to firmly attach his feet to the ground.

What's going on?

He frowned slightly.

Could it be that Kanami caused this commotion?!

What kind of Ninjutsu is he going to use next Ninjutsu?!

Soon, a wooden giant over two hundred meters tall appeared beneath Kanami's feet!

Kanami, who was standing on the wooden giant's head, suddenly soared to a height of over two hundred meters in the air.

He looked down from the Wood Human.

"Naruto, I'm all better now. You can use your Rasenshuriken."

Naruto Uzumaki was frozen in place at this moment.

My mind went completely blank.

The tinnitus continued to ring in my ears and did not subside for a long time.

"Ah???"

Are you talking to me?

"Otherwise what? Aren't you the only one here?"

Naruto's face twitched. "Heh... Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing right now?"

Three questions in a row.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been possessed.

Naruto Uzumaki punched his head, shook it violently a few times, and then rubbed his eyes.

Reopen your eyes to their maximum size.

Upon seeing the giant, over two hundred meters tall, again, he grinned foolishly, "Hehe..."

Is this still Konoha Village?

"Hey, are you still Kanami? You can't be Kanami, right?!"

"I'd rather have a market competition!"

He was completely devastated, staring at the over two-hundred-meter-tall wooden giant before him with a look of despair mixed with a foolish grin, questioning the meaning of life...
