The outer area of Mount Myōboku is even more peculiar than the Land of Land of Lightning. In the original work, Fukasaku once said that it would be almost impossible to enter without knowing the secret passage, as the outside is a Labyrinth Mountain.
Generally speaking, no matter how complex a mountain range is, a ninja should be able to gradually figure out its location. Mazes should be ineffective against ninjas, especially those with sensory abilities.
However, when Uya arrived at the outskirts of Mount Myōboku, he understood the meaning of the so-called labyrinth.
It's not that the mountains resemble a maze, but rather that the rich Natural Energy within them is manipulated by some strange force, interfering with human perception.
These Natural Energy form the so-called labyrinth, and even sensory ninjas find it difficult to escape the interference of these Natural Energy. Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter Mount Myōboku.
There are four ways to get in.
First, after signing Summoning Contract with the Toad Clan of Mount Myōboku, let the Toad inside Reverse Summoning in reverse.
Second, they forcibly destroyed the outer mountain range with a wide-range, powerful attack and forced their way in.
Third, activate the Sage Mode, merge with the Natural Energy Natural Energy, and become undisturbed by it, allowing you to easily enter.
Fourth, enter through a special secret passage.
For Uya, he could do all three except for the first one. The so-called Labyrinth Mountain that could block ordinary people and even powerful ninjas was useless to Uya. Entering it was as simple as it could be.
Under the Shockwave Sensing, Uya Uya was able to clearly detect most of the area surrounding the Labyrinth Mountain. He didn't bother with any secret passages and instead traversed the Labyrinth Mountain directly.
Upon entering the Labyrinth Mountain, the Natural Energy, under the influence of some strange force, began to try to interfere with Uya's perception. However, before it could even begin, this Natural Energy was forcibly controlled by Uya, then transformed into streams and absorbed by Uya's body.
Uya's body was like a Uzumaki, and wherever it went, rich Natural Energy continuously flowed into Uya's body.
" The Natural Energy here is indeed much denser. Come to think of it, I couldn't sense any Natural Energy Natural Energy in the Shikkotsu Forest, but I imagine there must have been a lot of it there as well."
As Uya traversed the mountains step by step, he sensed the Natural Energy around him, which grew increasingly dense as he ventured deeper. He muttered to himself.
Cultivating Senjutsu on Mount Myōboku is indeed much more efficient.
The complex terrain, coupled with the interference of Natural Energy, was enough to stop all ordinary people and most ninjas.
However, it was meaningless to Uya. He continued forward in the direction where the Natural Energy was becoming increasingly concentrated, and finally, his eyes lit up as he crossed the outer Labyrinth Mountain and stepped into the true range of Mount Myōboku.
It was as if we had stepped from the human world into a fairy tale world.
The Natural Energy in the surrounding area was already extremely concentrated, but after entering Mount Myōboku, the Natural Energy became even more concentrated.
This place is full of strange, giant plants.
The Natural Energy within Mount Myōboku is so abundant that even the plants possess incredible vitality, growing exceptionally tall and creating a bizarre and wondrous landscape.
Natural Energy continuously surged into Uya's body, invisible to the naked eye. However, if Jiraiya, in Sage Mode, were standing here, he could see the Natural Energy of heaven and earth rushing wildly towards Uya.
His ability to absorb this Natural Energy was something he could only dream of.
After walking a few steps, Uya couldn't help but close her eyes, focusing all her attention on absorbing Natural Energy and her own body.
After a while, Uya opened her eyes, a hint of joy on her face.
"This place can indeed accelerate my cultivation progress!"
One cannot absorb too much Natural Energy at once, because if the amount is too large, it will get out of control and cause one to Petrification.
However, Uya did not have this drawback at all. Uya could forcibly suppress a large amount of Natural Energy within his body, specifically within the Five Gates of the True Eight Gates Released Formation.
Previously, when the Totsuka Blade shattered and released a large amount of Natural Energy, Uya's First Gate was almost filled by that Natural Energy.
And now, the Natural Energy that Uya has absorbed is flowing into the Second Gate.
Although Uya couldn't absorb all of the Natural Energy he received at once, he still needed to let his body gradually integrate it.
But this would save Uya a lot of time!
It takes at least several years, or even ten years, to complete the transformation into Sage Body by absorbing and integrating Natural Energy.
However, if the gates opened by the True Eight Gates Released Formation within the body are already filled with abundant Natural Energy, and there is no need to absorb external Natural Energy, the fusion process will naturally be greatly accelerated.
Even if Yu Ye absorbed Natural Energy Uya and night without regard to time, the amount of energy she consumed would barely equal her energy intake in the outside world.
There simply isn't enough Natural Energy to fill the Five Gates opened by the True Eight Gates Released Formation.
" The Five Gates have roughly the same capacity. At this rate, it should only take about three months to fill all Five Gates at Mount Myōboku."
"In that case, I won't need to expend energy constantly absorbing Natural Energy anymore; the Five Gates in my body will automatically integrate the absorbed Natural Energy into my entire body."
After sensing the surroundings, Uya confirmed that his training speed on Mount Myōboku was much faster than that outside.
It takes only three months to fill Five Gates once, and it also takes about three months to use up all the Natural Energy within the filled Five Gates and integrate it into every cell of one's body.
This process takes about six months.
While one such process might not be enough to directly achieve the Sage Body, repeating it two or three times at most will surely complete the transformation into the Sage Body!
In other words, it will take at most one or two years for Uya to obtain the Sage Body!
This pace is incredibly fast; compared to the previously estimated ten years, it's been shortened by a factor of ten!
The only problem is that when Uya absorbs Natural Energy at Mount Myōboku, it makes quite a commotion. People who don't know Senjutsu can't sense it, but the Toad here can all use Natural Energy to some extent.
In other words, if you want to cultivate peacefully on Mount Myōboku, you must first deal with the Toad Clan.
In fact, it hadn't been long since Uya stepped into Mount Myōboku, and Toad from the surrounding area had already come knocking on his door.
This is a red Toad, and its appearance is extremely familiar to Uya. It is Gamabunta Gamabunta that Naruto called in the original work!
Uya noticed its presence as it approached. He initially didn't want to deal with it, but since he was going to train at Mount Myōboku, he couldn't avoid encountering the Toad Clan. (To be continued.)
