I learned Sage Art long ago.
And I mastered more than just Mount Myōboku's Sage Art. I can use Ryūchi Cave Sage Art too.
What's more, I became a Tailed Beast Life. I can absorb Natural Energy directly.
That was what Liao Wu thought.
But he put on an innocent face. "Will learning Sage Art let me defeat the leader of Akatsuki?"
Sage Fukasaku shook his head. "I don't know. The leader of Akatsuki has the Rinnegan. He's no ordinary opponent."
"But Naruto, learning Sage Art will give you another trump card. A Sage is naturally stronger than an ordinary person. Why else would he be called a Sage?"
Liao Wu glanced at Kurenai. He could follow an old toad and learn Sage Art he already knew, or stay with a young married woman and savor her charms.
Between the two, Liao Wu preferred the latter.
Kurenai looked at Liao Wu. "Naruto, I've heard the Toad Sages of Mount Myōboku have powerful Illusion Techniques. You could ask Lord Fukasaku to teach you!"
Sage Fukasaku glanced at Kurenai and caught on. "You have keen spiritual perception, young lady. You must be a Jonin who specializes in Illusion Techniques. Did Naruto come to you to work on his Illusion Techniques?"
Kurenai nodded. "Yes, Lord Fukasaku. My name is Yūhi Kurenai. My father was once Konoha's Number One Illusionist—Yūhi Shinkō!"
"Naruto came to ask me for guidance in Illusion Techniques!"
Sage Fukasaku smiled and offered a few words of praise. Female Jonin were still rare.
A female Ninja as powerful as Tsunade was an exception, after all.
Sage Fukasaku turned to Liao Wu. "Naruto, I know Illusion Techniques too. A toad's chant has a powerful hallucinatory effect."
"Would you like to learn to sing like a toad?"
Sing like a toad?!
Croak, croak,
