"Mount Myōboku?"
"One of the Shinobi World's three great sacred lands? Is it where the toads live?"
Sakura murmured, recalling the two old toads that had stood on Jiraiya's shoulders.
From the first moment she saw those two old toads, she had sensed that they were different.
"That's right. Mount Myōboku is where the Toad Sage lives, and it is also one of the places where Natural Energy is exceptionally abundant!" Tsunade looked at Sakura's puzzled, confused expression, then added, "It seems Xuanyu intends to have all of his subordinates train in Sage Mode!"
After all,
in Hua Yu's battle against her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, Hua Yu had clearly been slightly weaker without Sage Mode. But if Hua Yu had also learned Sage Mode, then the outcome of that battle would have been hard to predict.
If neither of them activated Sage Mode, Tsunade was certain that her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, might not necessarily have been Hua Yu's match, let alone Senju Hashirama.
Then,
if Senju Hanayu learned Sage Mode, her strength would rise another level.
Even her grandfather would likely be no match for her.
"Sage Mode? Naruto has been talking about Sage Mode a lot lately. What is it?" Sakura's eyes were filled with confusion. She only had a vague understanding of Sage Mode herself.
But,
just from its name, she could tell it was a terrifying technique.
"It's time you learned some things!" Tsunade looked at the confused Sakura, then spoke after a moment of silence. "Sage Mode is a special method that allows a ninja to rival a sage!"
"Huh? A method that lets someone rival a sage?"
Sakura's eyes instantly lit up. She looked at her teacher and asked eagerly, "Master, can I learn Sage Mode too?"
