Mount Myoboku.
Minato, Naruto, and Fukasaku each occupied a stone pillar, sitting cross-legged on the stone slab.
"So, I'll start?"
"Yes, don't worry too much. Just treat it as a demonstration for us."
"Okay." It's just like doing homework in front of parents and teachers, Naruto adjusted his mindset and closed his eyes.
Before, Naruto always thought, I must succeed this time, I absolutely cannot fail. But this time, he was thinking of going through all the steps meticulously. Even if he didn't succeed, he would have someone to give him advice, and he could just try again next time.
It's not that this kind of thinking is very good, but it just happens to be more suitable for Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode. The calmer you are, the easier it is to succeed.
Recalling the key points explained by Fukasaku, Naruto quickly entered the state.
Without even realizing it, he instinctively selected the common points between the techniques he had mastered during the past two days of practice in lurking and the practice of Sage Mode, and naturally used them.
After about twenty minutes, Naruto finally succeeded in emptying his mind, no longer caring whether he could succeed this time, forgetting where he was, and ignoring Fukasaku and Minato next to him, truly becoming one with nature.
It was very similar to the scene in the movie Kung Fu Cult Master where Zhang Sanfeng taught Zhang Wuji Tai Chi:
"Have you remembered it?"
"No."
"What kind of fist is this?"
"I don't know."
"Who is your Old Dad?"
"I forgot!"
...
Zhang Wuji was able to learn Tai Chi by forgetting all the moves, just as Naruto succeeded in cultivating Sage Mode by forgetting that he was cultivating immortality.
Fukasaku and Minato clearly felt that the surrounding free Natural Energy was constantly being attracted by Naruto and incorporated into his body.
When a small bird regarded Naruto as a stone and landed on Naruto's head without any wariness, it meant—cultivating immortality is useless!
Bah, it meant Naruto's divine skill was accomplished!
After two years of cultivation, Naruto entered Sage Mode for the first time without relying on Toad Oil, relying solely on his own ability!
Learning Sage Mode is like learning to ride an old-fashioned bicycle. Only when you can start by gliding on your own, straddle and ride, and finally stop by gliding, can you be considered to have truly mastered the method of riding a bicycle, and it is difficult to forget after learning it.
What needs to be done in the future is to constantly familiarize himself with the process of entering Sage Mode, and learn how to use Sage Mode Chakra. In other words, it is to improve proficiency and learn new skills.
Naruto opened his eyes and clenched his fists. This feeling... "Have I been strengthened?"
In the words of some novels, it feels like he can kill a cow with one punch.
If he were a silly protagonist, he might even use his own walls, floors, or tables and chairs to test his power.
"Congratulations, Little Naruto." Looking at Naruto's horizontal pupils and orange eye shadow, Fukasaku was very surprised and gratified. Mount Myoboku finally produced another perfect Sage Mode, and the facial features were exactly the same as Minato's. Should he say that they are worthy of being father and son?
Minato was also equally gratified. His son really didn't disappoint him: "Congratulations, Naruto."
Naruto said happily, "Thank you, Old Dad! Thank you, Fukasaku, for your guidance over the long time. I've been a bother to you all along!"
Fukasaku smiled and stroked his beard. Although Naruto had been quite a handful during this time, he was indeed a good kid.
Having finally completed his training, Naruto decided to celebrate. So, his body tilted, and he fell head over heels.
Gu Yao
The little bird above his head was startled and flew away, while Minato and Fukasaku were not alarmed at all.
Bang! Snap!
Naruto landed, and the broken stone slab gave Naruto a second attack, but at this moment, Naruto...
Brain: This should hurt a lot, right?
Body: No, it doesn't hurt at all.
Brain: Huh? It really doesn't seem to hurt.
Sage Mode brings all-round enhancement, not to mention the enhancement of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, it also brings powerful perception ability and extremely strong physical activity.
In other words, Naruto in his current state wouldn't die if he fell headfirst from the tenth floor, and he could stand up and jump around after patting off the dust.
Excited, Naruto first ran to play the traditional Mount Myoboku activity of lifting stone toads, then created a Rasenshuriken, but was too embarrassed to throw it and directly dissipated it. It seemed a little impolite to blow up Mount Myoboku for fun.
Naruto's Sage Mode lasted for more than five minutes before disappearing. The first time was relatively short. He should be able to extend the time with more practice in the future, and when the Fox Spirit is free, he can cooperate with him to play unlimited firepower.
"Old Dad, want to spar?" Naruto suggested to Minato, who came down from the stone pillar.
"Okay." Minato quickly entered Sage Mode, ready for a long-awaited father-son match.
Naruto sat down cross-legged and waited in place for more than ten minutes, until Minato's Sage Mode time was up before he successfully entered.
"..." The father and son stared at each other.
Minato did not absorb Natural Energy again and said helplessly, "Forget it, maybe next time. I still have a lot to do, wait until you are more proficient, and you still have some skills to learn."
Minato was referring to moves like Frog Kata and Frog Strike, which are very practical in specific situations, and can help Naruto familiarize himself with Sage Mode during the learning process.
"Okay." Naruto nodded, "Then I'll have to continue to trouble you, Fukasaku."
"Of course, no problem." Fukasaku responded with a smile. He now finds Naruto more pleasing to the eye than Jiraiya. A perfect fourteen-year-old Sage, is much stronger than that fifty-year-old defective product.
...
Having resolved a knot in his heart, Naruto finally returned to his previous rhythm of life, taking on missions, training, cultivating Sage Mode, and occasionally gathering with his friends to play.
Time quickly passed for another half a year, and it came to Konoha Year 63.
The biggest change in the past six months is that there are two more little foxes in Naruto's house—Nine Tails foxes.
It was on an ordinary night that Nine Tails, who had been locked in the Sealing Space for a long time, suddenly opened the door:
"Naruto, pay attention to the seal, I'll send a small clone out."
"Huh? When did you learn the Clone Technique?" Naruto entered the Sealing Space and was surprised to see a Q version of the small Nine Tails squatting at the door, wagging its tail.
The little fox was only slightly larger than Naruto's head. If Naruto remembered correctly, that should be what Nine Tails looked like when he was a kid.
With large ears, a chubby face, and a slightly babyish figure, it tried hard to maintain its dignity, but it looked a bit silly and cute no matter how you looked at it.
Naruto picked up the Little Fox Spirit and made a hundred-meter sprint!
Actually, it wasn't really a sprint, he just put his hands under the Little Fox Spirit's armpits, lifted it up to his face, and looked at it carefully: "This is too cute!"
The Little Fox Spirit pushed Naruto's face away with its paw in disgust: "In short, this old one wants to go out now!"
For some unknown reason, the Little Fox Spirit's voice was also childish.
At the same time, inside Kushina's Sealing Space, Kushina picked up the Little Fox Spirit and said the same words she had said more than a decade ago:
"So you were a female Fox Spirit, ya know!"
