Great Toad Sage lowered his head slightly and looked at Naruto, only to feel a very familiar feeling coming from it. It thought for a moment and suddenly understood, and then slowly said:
"I recently had a dream about Shinobi World."
"In the dream, a boy stood in front of everyone, and behind him were the ninjas of Five Great Nations."
"He united all the forces of division and led Shinobi World towards true peace."
"That boy's eyes are black like yours."
"The hair is black too."
There was silence in the palace.
Sage Fukasaku's pupils shrank and his voice trembled slightly. "Old Master, have you had a precognitive dream again?"
"How many years have you not had a precognitive dream? The last time was when Jiraiya first came to Mount Myoboku, you dreamed that he would accept a disciple who could save Shinobi World..."
"Child of the Prophecy."
Sage Shima turned his gaze to Naruto, then glanced at Jiraiya, with shock on his face.
Jiraiya The whole figure seemed to have been struck by a belated lightning bolt.
He stared blankly at Naruto, his apprentice, the son of Fourth Hokage, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who could crush Complete Tailed Beast Transformation Eight-Tails head-on, the successor of Flying Thunder God, and the owner of Light Release.
A young man who is determined to change Shinobi World and is moving towards this goal step by step.
He has been looking for Child of the Prophecy for so many years, from Amegakure to Konoha, from Nagato to Minato and then to Naruto.
He always thought that the person who could change Shinobi World was still hiding in a corner of the world waiting for him to discover, but he never expected that the boy in the prophecy had been worshiping him as his disciple three months ago.
Jiraiya suddenly felt that the whole Shinobi World was playing a big joke on him.
"What a coincidence."
Naruto's voice broke the silence in the hall.
He looked up at Great Toad Sage: "Achieving peace Shinobi World happens to be my goal."
Fukasaku recovered from the shock and looked at Naruto and then at Jiraiya: "It seems that the old man's predictions are never wrong."
At this moment, Great Toad Sage's snoring sounded again.
His newly opened eye has closed again, and there is still a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, as if the earth-shattering prophecy just now was just a dream talk.
"Let's go, don't disturb the old lady."
Shima Lower your voice.
The group of people quietly exited the hall.
"Little Naruto, from now on Sage Mode's training will be left to me to guide you."
Fukasaku jumped in front of Naruto and looked up at him. "The most important step in Sage Mode's cultivation is to absorb Natural Energy."
"Little Jiraiya should have told you that Sage Mode is based on physical energy and spiritual energy, taking in the natural Energy Absorption that is ubiquitous in nature, and the three are in precise proportions Fusion to form Senjutsu Chakra."
"But this Fusion process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will..."
"Turn into stone."
Naruto took over. "Pervy Sage told me."
"Now that we know the theoretical basis, let's get started." Fukasaku nodded.
Shima suddenly clapped his hands. "It's rare for Little Jiraiya and Little Naruto to come together. I'll cook tonight's dinner. I want to cook a big pot of delicious food for you!"
Jiraiya was still thinking about Great Toad Sage's prophecy just now. When he heard Shima's words, he trembled violently.
The insect feast he enjoyed last time at Mount Myoboku flashed through his mind, and he quickly took two steps back and smiled brightly at Shima:
"Um... Master Shima, I suddenly remembered that if Make-Out Paradise's new volume of manuscript is not submitted to the editor, Mount Myoboku will be killed!"
"I have to write the manuscript quickly, so you don't have to wait for me to eat!"
Before he finished speaking, his whole body turned into a white smoke and disappeared in place, as fast as Naruto's Lightspeed Kick was chasing him.
Shima looked at the position where Jiraiya disappeared, snorted angrily, turned around and jumped towards the kitchen.
"The child's father, lunch is ready and I'll call you!"
Fukasaku responded, and then led Naruto through Mount Myoboku's training area.
On the way, we passed a huge lotus leaf pond, and a huge dark red Toad was leaning on the edge of the pond, smoking a pipe.
Gamabunta blew out a smoke ring and lazily raised his paw towards Sage Fukasaku:
"Fukasaku, old man, why are you free to come here today..."
Halfway through the words, Gamabunta glanced at Naruto behind Fukasaku, and the pipe almost slipped from his mouth.
He recognized who this black-haired boy was. He was summoned last time at Konoha. He was so frightened by his Giant Rasengan that he gave up on the spot and promised to be there whenever he was called.
Later, he learned from Jiraiya that this kid had subdued Complete Tailed Beast Transformation's Eight-Tails.
"Gamabunta, long time no see."
Naruto waved to Gamabunta.
"Yo... yo, Naruto, come to Mount Myoboku to practice?"
Gamabunta responded calmly, the paw holding the pipe firmly resting on his mouth.
Naruto nodded and Fukasaku continued walking towards the training ground.
Soon Fukasaku took Naruto to the depths of a valley.
The terrain here is completely different from the birds and flowers in other places in Mount Myoboku.
In the center of the valley, there is a fountain that is constantly spewing dark yellow viscous liquid. The liquid makes a gurgling sound as it flows on the rocks.
Oil Spring is surrounded by dozens of Toad stone statues of different sizes.
They are all practitioners who failed to practice Sage Mode and were completely backlashed by Natural Energy.
"These are the stone statues Little Jiraiya told you about."
"Every stone statue was once a living practitioner."
"Once you start absorbing Natural Energy, you can't move. If you move, the energy will go out of control."
"So you must do it under my supervision. You must not try it secretly by yourself."
Fukasaku stopped in front of a small Toad stone statue and looked at Naruto solemnly.
Then it found a flat stone platform next to Oil Spring and motioned for Naruto to sit down.
"The first step to Sage Mode is to perceive Natural Energy."
"Only in a state of absolute stillness can the human body resonate with the energy of nature."
"Remember, you must not move."
Naruto Sit down, close your eyes, and slow down your breathing.
"The oil in this Oil Spring can accelerate the contact between the human body and Natural Energy. Let me apply some for you."
Fukasaku stretched out a front paw and dipped it into Oil Spring, dipped it in some dark yellow oil, and applied it evenly on the back of Naruto's right hand.
In an instant, Naruto clearly felt an overbearing and unfamiliar energy penetrate into the skin through the oil layer and spread upstream along the Chakra meridians.
This energy was completely different from any Chakra he had come into contact with before. It was full of turbidity, wildness, and difficult to control.
He looked down and saw subtle changes in the skin on the back of his right hand.
