Senjutsu Finally Showed Promise

Although he was eager to study the integration of Natural Energy, Feng was still prudent and did not immediately take matters into his own hands.

Shadow Clone Technique

He first created a Shadow Clone, and then had Uchiha Izumi and Mei Terumi, who were accompanying him, also create Shadow Clone.

Speaking of which, the ninjas of Kirigakure don't know how to use Shadow Clone, they only know Water Clone, and Mei Terumi's Shadow Clone Technique was taught by Feng.

Then, at Feng's command, the three Shadow Clone stood together in front of Yaku Daibu, each placing a hand on the other's shoulder.

"Dabu, now slowly absorb some Natural Energy."

Quan, Ming, you two come with me and experience what that thing really is."

After saying that, Feng himself, still valuing his life, pulled the others to stand a few steps away.

Natural Energy is extremely dangerous; even a slight overexposure can be fatal, so he had to be extremely careful.

Moreover, this thing is everywhere in the Tenchi, and ordinary people can't even detect it. If you get too close and absorb it, you might not even know it.

Right now, if Feng wants to learn Senjutsu, the most important thing is not to try to absorb and integrate Natural Energy, but to find a way to sense this thing first.

If you can't even sense it, then forget about Senjutsu.

Feeling guilty about his own lack of talent, Feng had no choice but to bring Izumi and Mei Terumi along to study it together.

Izumi doesn't have much screen time in the anime, so it's hard to say how talented she is, but Mei Terumi the future Mizukage in the anime. Even if she's not that amazing, her talent undoubtedly surpasses that of Feng.

"Yes, sir."

Izumi, Mei, and Yaku Daibu nodded in agreement.

Yaku Daibu closed his eyes and began to slowly absorb the Natural Energy around him.

"Stop! Take a big step, stop absorbing the surrounding Natural Energy."

"Quickly absorb all the Natural Energy from the three of us."

Just a moment later, Feng's Shadow Clone suddenly spoke.

Before the Shadow Clone could even perceive what Natural Energy was, it had already sensed that something was wrong with its body.

In the original Hokage anime, there's a storyline where the protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, uses Shadow Clone to fuse with Natural Energy, then dispels the Shadow Clone to bring back the fused Natural Energy.

Right now, Feng doesn't know if the unintegrated Natural Energy will also be transferred to his main body when the Shadow Clone dissipates.

However, for safety reasons, the Shadow Clone immediately stopped the research as soon as it sensed something was wrong.

Yaku Daibu hearing this, Yi Dabu quickly stretched out his hands and absorbed all the Natural Energy from each of the three Shadow Clone.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Without Natural Energy, the three Shadow Clone were immediately dispelled, bringing the sensations they had just experienced back to their original bodies.

"Did you sense anything?"

Feng hadn't sensed any Natural Energy, so he asked Quan and Mei Terumi it.

Perhaps because the time had been too short, the two frowned and pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then both shook their heads.

"Hehe, it's alright, let's do it again."

At least it has just been proven that with the Yaku Daibu, there is no need to worry about security issues, and that is enough.

If it doesn't work the first time, try twice, three times, ten times, a hundred times, and you'll eventually succeed.

Seeing this, Feng smiled and comforted the two.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Then it created Shadow Clone again and continued the process.

Without the Toad Oil Mount Myōboku that could help people quickly perceive Natural Energy, Feng found himself becoming optimistic.

It seems he got stuck on just the step of sensing Natural Energy.

For a full two weeks, the group repeatedly sensed the energy in the cave, which was rich in Natural Energy, but they still made no progress.

Aside from confirming the existence of this energy through the precious Spirit Orb on Yaku Daibu's body, they still cannot sense it on their own.

"Lord Feng, can this energy really be sensed normally?"

Or are you just planning to take me and Izumi out for a short trip?

Even Mei Terumi had begun to lose confidence, and even her flirting with Feng became perfunctory.

Feng: "..."

He was also looking worried and didn't pay any attention to the other person's mood.

'Does this mean I still have to go find those Toad and steal their Toad Oil?' Feng scratched his head, feeling a little frustrated, and couldn't help but think this.

Half a month! If it were just him, Izumi, Mei Terumi who failed, it could be attributed to a lack of talent.

During this time, Feng also tried with all the members of his Royal Guard who had come with him, but none of them succeeded.

This made him think that perhaps it had nothing to do with talent, or that one needed to have an exceptional affinity for Natural Energy; otherwise, the magic of Senjutsu would be over before it even began.

"Damn it! I'm going to stay here for another two weeks."

If we still fail, we will attack Mount Myōboku."

"Hmm? Hehehe, as you command!"

Seeing that even the usually cheerful Lord Feng couldn't help but swear, Mei Terumi, Izumi, and the others were immediately amused.

The laughter temporarily dispelled the gloom of defeat and gave everyone the motivation to continue dedicating themselves to studying and perceiving the Natural Energy.

However, as long as no one can successfully perceive Natural Energy, the enthusiasm for research will not last long.

A few days later, still inside the cave.

"Ah...!

Damn it, I'm not going to study it anymore. What bullshit Natural Energy? Whoever wants to perceive it can perceive it.

I've given up.

A young Uchiha clan guard ninja screamed in despair.

He was also a genius ninja praised by his clan, but now, faced with the Senjutsu that the clan leader spoke of, he hadn't even scratched the surface for more than half a month.

This is a huge blow to the self-confidence of the arrogant Uchiha genius.

As he spoke, he cursed and strode out of the cave, intending to escape this supposedly haunted place teeming with Natural Energy.

As he passed by other people, his distorted and ferocious expression after his breakdown startled them.

Seeing this, the devastated Uchiha ninja showed no restraint and continued to growl at the top of his lungs:

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a fool driven mad?"

Let whoever wants to study this Natural Energy do so!

Hmph, I reckon even if the Sage of Six Paths came, he wouldn't be able to sense it; he'd be stuck here.

Damn it, which lucky bastard was the first to sense this thing? Couldn't they just use Chakra?

What kind of lousy Natural Energy is this? What kind of Senjutsu immortal techniques are these? It's just a bunch of overpowered people who have nothing better to do than mess around with people!

The person he yelled at happened to be an Uchiha as well. Instead of getting angry, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief, exclaiming in astonishment:

Your eyes!?

Hearing the exclamation, Uchiha Izumi, who was not far away, turned around and looked over. She then discovered that the Uchiha who had just collapsed was not only cursing, but her eyes had also switched to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan state.

But she remembered very clearly that this young member of her clan only had Two-Tomoe Sharingan not long ago!

So?!

"Takata, your eyes have evolved into Mitsudomoe!"

"Um?"

Takata was taken aback upon hearing this, then fell silent and began to focus on his eyes.

The momentary breakdown vanished, replaced by a smile:

"Haha, it really is! My Sharingan has evolved!"

"What the heck?! What's going on? How did it suddenly evolve?!"

"Takata, tell me, what happened?"

The other members of the Royal Guard quickly surrounded them, Uchiha them with questions.

Feng, somewhat agitated by the cacophony of voices from the group, said, "..."

He was utterly speechless. He hadn't managed to research Natural Energy, but he'd managed to force an Uchiha's Sharingan to strengthen itself. This whole thing was... well, let's just say it turned out...

"Take a big step, ignore them, and continue to slowly absorb Natural Energy."

He then forced himself to calm down and turned back to continue studying Natural Energy.

But!

"Chieftain!! Chieftain!"

I can sense Natural Energy now!

No, it's not a perception, clan leader, it's the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

"The Three-Tomoe Sharingan can roughly see Natural Energy!"

Suddenly, Takata ran to Feng's side and said excitedly.

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Feng frowned, but immediately activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan Yaku Daibu beside him.

Uchiha Izumi also quickly activated her Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"It's actually true!"

"Smack!"

"I'm so stupid, I actually forgot that the Sharingan can observe Natural Energy."

"There's a scene in the anime where Madara Uchiha uses his Sharingan to discover Hashirama refining Senjutsu Chakra and then tries to steal it."

When Feng opened his Mitsudomoe and saw a hazy energy gathering around Yaku Daibu, he immediately slapped himself and muttered to himself.

Even though the Sharingan can't see the flow of energy as clearly as the Byakugan, it can at least see it.

And this is already a breakthrough from 0 to 1; all that's left is to carefully experience and understand it further.

Even if you still can't sense the Natural Energy, as long as you know there's such a mass of energy in your body, you can skip the sensing step and try to integrate it directly.

After all, his goal was to fuse Senjutsu Chakra, not to fight this damn Natural Energy to the death.
