" Lord Madara, Uya has been missing for nearly three months."
White Zetsu stood before Madara Uchiha, reporting on the latest reconnaissance of the Shinobi World.
Madara Uchiha hesitated for a moment, a profound light flashing in his eyes, then raised his head and said, "In that case, we can begin."
Mount Myōboku.
The waterfall cascaded down, and the Toad Oil flowed continuously in the pool, while Uya sat motionless on the edge of the pool with her eyes closed.
The abundant Natural Energy, like a whirlwind, transformed into a terrifying Uzumaki, and Uya was at the very center of that Uzumaki, constantly absorbing the Natural Energy.
This terrifying Uzumaki could be sensed even throughout the entire Mount Myōboku.
"Has it been more than two months already?"
"It's been almost three months, and I've never seen a human cultivate like this before."
Several Toad, watching from afar, whispered among themselves, but none dared to disturb them; they simply observed from a distance.
Uya has been sitting cross-legged for nearly three months.
Without sleep or rest, without eating or drinking, all energy was extracted directly from nature, and there was no dust on Uya's body, as if he had become one with nature.
While the enormous Uzumaki of Natural Energy is indeed terrifying, animals that cannot sense the existence of Natural Energy will regard Uya as an unmoving stone statue.
Several small birds flew up and down above Uya Uya's head, occasionally landing on him to rest, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.
Within Uya's body, from the First Gate at her heart to the Fourth Gate in her chest and abdomen, everything was filled with Natural Energy Natural Energy, which was being slowly integrated into her body.
And the final Fifth Gate is also close to being perfect.
Natural Energy surged continuously, flowing from Uya's entire body into his body. Instead of fusing with Chakra, it was directly injected into the Fifth Gate.
Finally, the Fifth Gate was filled with Natural Energy.
In that instant, the terrifying Uzumaki between heaven and earth suddenly paused, then slowly dissipated, and the Natural Energy returned to calm.
Uya's eyelids trembled slightly before slowly opening.
"It shouldn't have been more than three months. Sure enough, the Natural Energy here is much denser than at the edges."
He murmured something softly, Uya stood up. The little birds on his body flapped their wings in surprise and chirped as they fled from Uya body.
He stretched his body. After not moving for several months, even a ninja couldn't do it. Only Sage Mode practitioner who had achieved oneness with nature could do this.
I felt slightly unwell at first, but I recovered quickly.
Moreover, Uya clearly felt that his body had become more active, or rather, he could feel a brewing vitality.
Uya gently made a cut on her arm with her finger, and the cut healed almost instantly.
Originally, Uya's self-healing ability was already quite good when he opened the Fifth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation. Now, with the addition of Sage Mode and a small portion of Sage Body training, his self-healing ability is almost comparable to Tsunade's when she opened the Strength of a Hundred Technique.
After sensing the condition within his body, Uya nodded.
"For now, there's no need to absorb Natural Energy anymore. Once all the Natural Energy within the Five Gates has been integrated into the body, we can absorb it again. It seems this process will only take a few months."
Looking around, Uya noticed that the range of his Shockwave Sensing had also increased. It seemed that because he was cultivating the Sage Body and becoming one with nature, his state of mind had also improved, which in turn strengthened his soul.
The Shockwave Sensing also detected a large number of Toad. After all, this was the central location of Mount Myōboku. Although Uya could not encompass the entire vast Mount Myōboku within his perception range, he could still sense the presence of a large number of Toad.
Uya didn't bother to greet the Toad. Since he wouldn't need to absorb Natural Energy for the next few months, he was too lazy to stay on Mount Myōboku and decided to leave first.
In a few months, simply return here and repeat the process of absorbing Natural Energy.
This process wouldn't need to be repeated many times; Uya felt that at most three times would be enough for him to obtain a true Sage Body, and he could even further strengthen it to obtain an even more perfect Sage Body.
Whoosh!!
With a flash, Uya disappeared beside the pool.
Now, Uya's movement trajectory is almost completely undetectable, as if he is teleporting, constantly flashing as he moves.
Soon, Uya left Mount Myōboku.
Before starting her training at Mount Myōboku, Uya had also sent messages back to Konoha. After all, the Toad Clan and Konoha had a good relationship, making it easy for them to exchange messages.
Jiraiya learned that Uya had actually gone to Mount Myōboku and even mastered the perfect Sage Mode, he was so shocked that he could hardly believe it. Only after asking him several times did he have to accept the fact.
He himself could not reach the perfect level of Sage Mode, and his body would still turn into a frog. But according to Fukasaku and the others, Uya not only did not have any physical changes, but his Sage Mode was even more powerful than that of Mount Myōboku.
Jiraiya had originally wanted Minato Namikaze to also go to Mount Myōboku to train in Senjutsu, but Minato Namikaze was currently studying the Flying Thunder God Technique and did not go to Mount Myōboku.
Therefore, no one disturbed Uya during his cultivation at Mount Myōboku. As for the Toad Clan, they all received instructions from the Great Toad Sage and dared not disturb Uya.
They traveled without encountering any obstacles and Uya quickly traversed half of the Land of Fire, gradually approaching Konoha.
"They're finally coming back. Kushina won't be worried this time, but she'll probably miss them a lot."
Uya gazed towards Konoha and smiled slightly. Although they hadn't been apart for long, Kushina was different now; she had become incredibly clingy. Three months apart felt like three years apart before.
However, just as Uya gradually approached the vicinity of Konoha, Uya gaze suddenly sharpened as he felt a slight tremor coming from the ground.
"What happened?!"
Uya's eyes flashed, revealing a hint of surprise. He immediately released his Shockwave Sensing, probing forward.
It's peacetime now, and there's no news of Third Shinobi World War breaking out. How could there be such a violent tremor coming from Konoha, so strong that it can be felt from this far away?
Such tremors undoubtedly indicate that an extremely fierce battle is erupting within Konoha! To be continued.
