Having understood what Uya was doing, Fukasaku and Toad Shima were even more shocked.
They knew about the Sage Body.
Although Mount Myōboku is isolated from the world, they are still aware of some major events that happen outside, such as the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, pacifying the Sengoku period. The power of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, shook the Shinobi World.
They were naturally aware of the existence of the Sage Body.
However, the Sage Body is generally born naturally and then develops its power on its own; it cannot be cultivated later in life!
Strictly speaking, it is possible to cultivate Sage Body after birth, but cultivating Sage Body requires extremely terrifying Natural Energy. One must constantly integrate Natural Energy to achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change.
No one can forcibly control such terrifying Natural Energy; not even Fukasaku and Toad Shima could do it.
Once Natural Energy gets out of control, there is only one outcome: Petrification.
But how could Uya, who was completely unafraid of losing control, not be shocked by the fact that he could control such terrifying Natural Energy? Fukasaku and Toad Shima, who were intimately familiar with the true nature of the Sage Body, were utterly astonished.
"That's right, that's why I need a lot of Natural Energy. And the environment of Mount Myōboku has much more abundant Natural Energy than the outside world." Uya looked at Fukasaku and said calmly, "Then, is it alright to cultivate the Sage Body here?"
Fukasaku and Toad Shima did not answer, a bead of cold sweat appearing on their foreheads.
They didn't know how to respond to Uya. It was impossible to stop Uya. Putting aside Uya's other powers, just Uya's terrifying control over Natural Energy was enough to easily crush the two of them!
Their power comes from Senjutsu and Natural Energy. However, Uya forcibly seized control of a large area of Natural Energy. If they cannot absorb Natural Energy, they are just two ordinary little Toad.
"We can't make that decision."
After Fukasaku spoke to Uya in a deep voice.
But just as he was halfway through his sentence, a Toad that was slightly larger than him, though still quite Toad compared to the other Toad, suddenly jumped out.
"Lord Fukasaku, Shima, the Great Sage said that he will leave the affairs of outsiders to chance and let them do whatever they want."
The one known as the Great Sage is undoubtedly the oldest Toad of Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage. In his presence, Toad like Fukasaku and Toad Shima, who have lived for hundreds of years, are juniors.
It is also on par with the Shikkotsu Forest Katsuyu and the Ryūchi Cave Snake Sage, and its origins can even be traced back to the era of the Sage of Six Paths.
"What?!"
Not only Fukasaku and Toad Shima, but also the other Gamabunta, all stared wide-eyed, revealing a hint of surprise.
Seeing that all the Toad looked unconvinced, the little Toad shrugged and said, "These are the exact words the Great Sage asked me to convey. You can go and ask him yourselves."
All the Toad were astonished by what they saw, and had no choice but to believe the little Toad's words, because on Mount Myōboku, no one dared to recklessly relay the Great Toad Sage's instructions.
Normally, Fukasaku and Toad Shima would have said that the Great Sage had made another mistake, but now, after exchanging a glance, they couldn't help but smile wryly.
Besides this, are there any other methods?
Uya is too strong, almost unbelievably strong. If Uya hadn't held back, all the Toad here, including the two of them, would probably be wiped out!
Deep in Mount Myōboku.
An old-looking Toad was lying there, holding a huge teacup that could fit Uya inside.
After taking a sip of tea, the Great Toad Sage exhaled a breath of hot air.
"It's finally here. Now the scenes I saw before match up."
"Those scenes"
Recalling the scenes he had witnessed, the Great Toad Sage's narrowed eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of apprehension.
"Judging from those images, the best course of action is to avoid getting involved with him. Future wars will also have nothing to do with Mount Myōboku."
Mount Myōboku.
After the Great Toad Sage ordered all the Toad not to disturb Uya and allowed Uya to come and go freely in and out of Mount Myōboku, Uya went from the outer perimeter of Mount Myōboku to its depths.
This is a very familiar scene.
All around were giant Toad statues, seemingly carved, but actually the Petrification remains of people who failed to cultivate the Sage Mode.
In front of these stone statues, there is a small waterfall.
The water flowing in the waterfall is not water, but a special oil. This oil helps absorb Natural Energy; simply apply it to your body, and Natural Energy will actively flow into your body.
Below the waterfall is a pool filled with the same special oil. In the center of the pool is a Toad sculpture, with the same oil flowing from its mouth into the pool.
It is precisely because of the presence of these oils that this location is almost the place with the most concentrated Natural Energy in the entire Mount Myōboku!
In fact, the concentration of Natural Energy here is a level higher than that of the edge of Mount Myōboku where Uya was before.
In the original story, Naruto trained in Senjutsu here at an incredibly fast pace.
Almost immediately after Naruto left, Pain invaded Konoha, and Naruto, in the meantime, rapidly mastered Sage Mode and returned to Konoha to fight Pain.
"This is the special oil from the original story. It doesn't look particularly special, so why can it attract Natural Energy?"
Reaching the edge of the pool, Uya couldn't resist reaching out and gently scooping something up from the water.
With this scoop, Uya's hands were immediately covered in oil.
When Uya took his hand up, he clearly felt that the Natural Energy around him suddenly changed and rushed towards his hand.
Uya had been absorbing Natural Energy, and the surrounding Natural Energy had almost become a Uzumaki, but it was flowing into Uya's body from his entire body and finally into the Second Gate of his body.
Now, after applying this special oil, Uya's absorption rate of Natural Energy did not increase, but almost all of the Natural Energy that originally flowed into his body was transferred to his hands and flowed into his body from his hands.
"That's interesting."
Looking at his hands, Uya gently waved them a few times in the air.
While ordinary people cannot see Natural Energy with the naked eye, in Uya's world of perception, a huge Uzumaki formed around his hand.
With Uya seemed to stir up the heavens and earth.
Buzz!!
The next moment, Uya's hand suddenly trembled, and the Power of Tremors spread outwards, causing the Uzumaki of Natural Energy to collapse.
"It seems that, no matter what, the Power of Tremors can always suppress Natural Energy."
This scene reassured Uya. Even the most concentrated Natural Energy, even this special oil, could still be easily repelled by the Power of Tremors.
As long as there is Power of Tremors, he will never be in danger of losing control of Natural Energy and thus Petrification.
After feeling at ease, Uya sat cross-legged beside the pool with the most abundant Natural Energy on Mount Myōboku, closed his eyes, focused all his energy, and began to cultivate earnestly. To be continued.
