Konoha, belongs to the original small apartment of Naruto Uzumaki.
The sun shines through the dusty glass windows, casting mottled light and shadow on the floor.
The apartment is very tidy, and the air is filled with the smell of old books.
In the center of the room is the old single bed.
A blond Young Naruto, like a stone statue suddenly awakening from a thousand-year sleep, slowly opened his eyes.
They were a pair of Blue Eyes eyes that were as clear as the clear sky after rain, yet seemed to have accumulated endless years and natural rhythms.
At this moment, these eyes were filled with a newborn confusion and an extremely unfamiliar feeling of control over the body.
He sat on the bed, maintaining a meditative posture, and had not moved for an unknown amount of time.
The joints seemed to be rusty and the muscles seemed to be frozen.
He raised his hand with some discomfort, and his knuckles made a slight "click" sound, as if a machine that had not been oiled for a long time was starting to run again.
"Success?"
A calm voice, with a hint of concern and expectation, came from the other side of the room.
Looking around, I saw another figure exactly like Young Naruto sitting on the bed next to the desk against the wall.
She has the same dazzling blond hair and the same blue eyes, but her temperament is more calm, restrained, and even a little bookish.
He was holding a heavy book with no words on the cover in his hand. The pages were yellowed, obviously it was old.
Upon hearing the inquiry, the Naruto clone beside the desk slowly inserted a metal bookmark with a delicate iris pattern into the page he had just read, and then closed the book in his hand gently, as if it were a fragile treasure.
After doing all this, he raised his eyes and looked at "himself" on the bed, waiting for the answer.
On the bed, the clone of Naruto, who had just woken up, heard the question and showed a smile full of accomplishment despite being tired.
He nodded, his voice a little dry from being silent for a long time, but extremely clear:
"Well, it worked."
He moved his still stiff neck and continued, "Sensing, guidance, absorption, balance... all the links have passed the final verification and stability test.
As long as my clone releases itself and returns all the experience accumulated during this period to the main body, you will be able to thoroughly learn and stably use Sage Mode."
The existence of this clone is itself a long and lonely penance.
He cut off all external contact, blocked most sensory interference, and concentrated all his attention on Sensing, communication and control of Natural Energy. His purpose was for Sage Mode.
"That's great."
The Naruto clone next to the desk heard the words, and his face showed genuine joy. He pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes shining, "The main body... I have been waiting for a long time."
He is referring to the Naruto Uzumaki ontology's desire to master a Sage Mode that is more in line with the characteristics of human Chakra.
This is not only an improvement in strength, but also an important exploration of "Ninja's own possibilities".
"Yeah!"
The immortal clone on the bed seemed to be infected by this joy, and his voice was raised a little, with a hint of pride, "A stable Sage Mode that belongs to humans, does not rely on the psychic saint Land Deeds, and is independent Training... I'm afraid this is the first time in Shinobi World's history!"
In order to verify the results and let his companions witness it with their own eyes, the immortal Naruto clone on the bed took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and ethereal.
"Sage Mode·Open!"
There is no complicated Hand Seals, no lengthy preparation.
I saw that his right fist was slightly clenched, and the way Chakra flowed around his body underwent subtle and profound changes.
The next moment, no significant changes appeared on him. There was no frog-shaped eye shadow like Mount Myōboku Sage Mode, no snake-like vertical pupils like Ryūchi Cave, and no facial makeup.
His appearance looks the same as usual, still looking like human Young Naruto.
His whole body seemed to be integrated with the surrounding air, light, and even the wooden texture of the furniture.
His perception ability spread in all directions like a tide, covering the entire apartment in an instant, and continued to extend outwards. He could clearly "see" the chakra flow of pedestrians on the street, sensed the slight movement of insects in the distant woods, and even vaguely touched the stable energy veins at the edge of the Leaf Village barrier... The range and accuracy of perception had been greatly improved beyond imagination.
More importantly, he could feel that the Natural Energy in the air was being absorbed into his body continuously, spontaneously, and extremely docilely, flawlessly integrating and transforming with his own Chakra.
Not only did it instantly replenish the consumption of previous training, but it also raised his overall Chakra quality, recovery speed, and fine control of Chakra to a whole new level.
"It feels... so amazing."
The immortal clone slowly opened his fist, feeling the full and harmonious power in his body, his face full of novelty and satisfaction.
After the demonstration, he released Sage Mode, looked at the clone beside the desk who had been studying silently, and asked:
"Sage Mode on my side is done. How are you doing with 'Dust Release' and 'Storm Release' over there?"
The Naruto clone next to the desk heard the words, nodded and started the "academic report":
"With the relatively detailed explanation of Dust Release's cultivation methods and principles given by the old man Ōnoki," he pointed to another pile of notes on the table filled with complex formulas and energy structure diagrams, "'Dust Release' I have already had my first glimpse of the door." I can barely understand and simulate the power of stripping away the original realm by integrating the three attributes of wind, earth, and fire Chakra in a specific proportion and method to form a 'decomposition' property.
However, there is still a long way to go before the precise control that Ōnoki can unleash. The main reason is that there are too many Chakras, and half a Konoha can be scratched in if you are not careful."
He paused, with a hint of regret in his tone. "As for Storm Release, it's not even interesting.
The fusion of the changing properties of thunder and water itself is very unstable. To form a laser beam that combines the destructive power of thunder with the conductivity and controllability of water requires a profound knowledge of both properties and a special talent for 'harmony'.
I have tried many times, but so far I can only come up with some unstable and far less powerful thunder and water mixtures than the genuine Storm Release. There is still a critical 'qualitative change' between the real Storm Release."
"But..." This bookish avatar changed the subject, with a glimmer of unexpected joy flashing in his eyes, "On the contrary, when I was deeply studying the water and thunder attributes Chakra Nature Transformation, and trying to cross-compare and verify their fusion ideas with Dust Release... by mistake, I found some other ways."
"Oh?"
The immortal clone became interested.
"Hmm."
The study clone affirmed, with a hint of the excitement of a scientific researcher discovering a new world in his tone, "I have developed Explosion Release and Boil Release.
Although they are still very crude and far less powerful than the genuine version used by the owner of Kekkei Genkai, a big step has been taken."
The two clones looked at each other and smiled.
I think Orochimaru was only born a few years earlier than us, and Tobirama is just average!
As for the body?
The guy in the main body who only knows how to fight and accompany Girl only gives them two shoes to shine!
