Ryobu transported himself and Candy to a sand dune.
Candy stood on Ryobu's shoulder and sat cross-legged, looking like a sage in meditation. Before long, orange toad-eye shadow appeared around her eyes.
This was Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode.
Candy had already learned senjutsu. During the time she and Ryobu had spent hiding from place to place, Ryobu had been undoing Hashirama's seal.
Candy had not been idle either. Candy used Mount Myōboku's Toad Oil to cultivate Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode.
Ryobu possessed two kinds of Sage Mode.
One was Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode, and the other was Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode.
Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode leaned toward berserk power and had an extremely low chance of successful cultivation. In comparison, Mount Myōboku's had a far higher success rate.
When Mount Myōboku's Toad Oil was applied to a person's body, it allowed them to absorb the surrounding Natural Energy on their own.
But this Toad Oil had one characteristic: once it left Mount Myōboku, it would evaporate or vaporize.
It could only remain stable in places rich in senjutsu energy.
However, Candy kept the Toad Oil inside the Amber Purifying Pot. The space within the Amber Purifying Pot was a sealed space where time stood still.
The Toad Oil would not evaporate inside it.
The Toad Oil made Candy's skin translucent, allowing her to automatically absorb the Natural Energy around her.
Whenever Candy cultivated senjutsu, Ryobu guarded her side. Whenever she absorbed too much Natural Energy, Ryobu used his Rinnegan to draw the excess Natural Energy out of her body.
With the dual assistance of Ryobu and the Toad Oil, Candy quickly learned senjutsu.
Candy also learned from the fusion of the Two Great Toad Sages and Jiraiya. Standing on Ryobu's shoulder, Candy could transfer Sage Chakra to him.
