There were plenty of questions, but Jiraiya might not be able to answer them.
Jiraiya himself was terrible at Sage Mode. Not only did he need the help of the two Great Toad Sages, Fukasaku and Shima, but he also had to wait ages before entering Sage Mode. Someone like him simply could not teach others.
Besides, it was not convenient to approach Jiraiya yet.
"Then I'll wait until Hiruzen Sarutobi dies. By then, Tsunade will have returned too. If I can't get any answers from Jiraiya, I'll find Katsuyu through Tsunade. Katsuyu is also a sage from one of the Three Great Sage Regions, so she definitely has a Sage Mode too. Maybe Hashirama Senju learned his Sage Mode from Shikkotsu Forest. I have to ask!"
Xia Mu would not give up on Sage Mode.
It was a method that could massively boost both attack and defense, practically like equipping himself with crit-enhancing sacred relics. Who would not love that?
After dinner, Xia Mu pulled Tenten into the room again for some hugging and kissing.
Of course, they did not spend the whole time whispering sweet nothings. He took the opportunity to give her some pointers on the techniques and precautions for practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique, while they also chatted about everyday matters.
For instance, they had ignored Rock Lee for so many days already. Maybe he had begun reflecting on himself by now.
So, they could deliver the Senzu Bean tomorrow.
After discussing their plan, the two decided to go to the hospital together the next day. They would coordinate their actions to make sure no one saw them, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
The next day, close to noon, Xia Mu and Tenten timed it perfectly and waited outside the hospital.
