"Want me to try it? Damn, you must want to kill me, right?"
Zabuza said that before he returned to his room and fell asleep immediately, feeling so peaceful.
Although Shanks' Conqueror's Haki was not aimed at Zabuza, Zabuza was still overwhelmed by this kind of power that ignored the body for the first time and had some reactions of acclimatization.
"Ah, I feel like I'm already invincible. It's so lonely."
Shanks sighed, but he wasn't going to actually try his moves on Zabuza yet.
"Zabuza should be considered very strong in the Four Seas area, but someone like me who came back from the Grand Line is completely beyond the standard."
"I didn't expect Armament Haki to be so difficult."
In addition to the Armament Haki, Shanks is very satisfied with his training of other Haki.
As for this Conqueror's Haki, Shanks himself didn't know how he cultivated it. He just felt the danger at that time.
The energy in nature seemed to be invading his body. In such a dangerous situation, Shanks could only break away from it forcibly.
But this forced separation came at a price. At that moment, Shanks felt that his body was completely drained, without a trace of strength. Even his "Observation Haki" was completely ineffective.
But the invasion of that energy only paused briefly before continuing to invade Shanks' body. Then, it seemed that some shackles in Shanks' mind were broken. At this moment, Shanks used his last remaining willpower to slash out with the knife.
The terrifying domineering aura lingered on Shanks's sword, and red and black lightning appeared along with the slash, cutting off the energy in the air.
"Kamusari"
This is the swordsmanship that Shanks learned by coincidence. At that moment, he also understood why this move was called God Avoidance. It felt like even if God came, he could be killed.
In fact, Shanks' feeling was not wrong. After all, being able to use this trick to cut off the influence of fairy chakra is more or less a bit terrifying.
And Shanks' so-called Conqueror's Haki also appeared at this time, but Shanks himself didn't understand how it appeared
---
On the other side, at Myoboku Mountain, one of the three holy places.
"Failed?"
Jiraiya saw the Toad Sage shaking his head and asked.
"No, but he didn't succeed either. He found another more powerful force."
Toad Sage spoke slowly, and then a puff of smoke appeared in front of Jiraiya, and the figure of Shanks appeared.
This is the scene in Gama Sage's dream, and also the scene when Shanks is practicing Sage Mode.
"He failed. He didn't control the fused natural energy well. Well... to be precise, Shanks didn't try to control the natural energy, so of course he failed."
"That..."
Jiraiya didn't understand what Toad Sage said, if he failed, why would everything be fine?
"If it were a normal person, they would be affected by the natural energy at this time, and feel that they only need to take one more step to complete the Sage Mode.
But this often leads to death, and even if one is careful, one will only become an imperfect sage. "
The Toad Sage explained.
"Shanks' perception is too sharp. Anti-perception ninjutsu allows him to clearly perceive his own body and mind, and even to perceive the malice from the outside world. This is an extremely high level of perception ninjutsu."
"On top of that, Shanks has completely resisted Senjutsu Chakra, which requires a lot of willpower, and once implemented, it is equivalent to completely refusing to become a Sage. This has never happened before."
When the Toad Sage said this, Jiraiya roughly understood what was going on.
Shanks failed, but not completely failed. It can even be said to be another kind of success.
If Shanks continues to practice, he will most likely die, and even if he succeeds in interrupting it, it will still be a failure.
However, the outrageous situation is that after the Sage Chakra was generated, although Shanks clearly had the opportunity to become a Sage, he decisively interrupted it, and he interrupted it forcefully.
"So, Shanks interrupted his sage mode at that moment?"
Jiraiya frowned. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this sentence, but this was exactly what the Toad Sage meant.
"That's right, Jiraiya. All living things will instinctively fear that kind of power. Even the chakra of sage arts will be suppressed by that kind of power. In addition, Shanks has also come into contact with the power of sage."
As the image displayed in front of Jiraiya stopped, Jiraiya also saw the layer of black covering Shanks' samurai sword.
"The Truth-Seeking Jade can change its form at will. Maybe the power Shanks possesses is not the Truth-Seeking Jade yet, but the blood of the Uzumaki clan is fully capable of allowing Shanks to master this power. It is only a matter of time."
"So he did fail."
The Toad Sage's whispering voice echoed in Jiraiya's ears. Was Jiraiya dumbfounded at this time?
What? You call this a failure?
The other party possesses the "True-Seeking Jade" which is possessed by the legendary Six Paths Sage, and also possesses this inexplicable power that can suppress all things.
Jiraiya thought "This doesn't look like a failure at all."
Looking at the Toad Sage who had fallen completely asleep, Jiraiya let out a long sigh.
"Oh, forget it.
Since the Toad Sage said that Shanks has no problem, then let it be."
If this accident hadn't happened, Jiraiya wouldn't have come to Myoboku Mountain on purpose.
After all, even Jiraiya understood how outrageous it was for a person to practice Sage Mode independently, so he naturally came to consult Gama Sage about such a matter.
Fortunately, the Toad Sage said it was no big deal.
However, as soon as Jiraiya left, the Toad Sage, who had been sleeping, woke up immediately.
It's not a big deal, it's a serious matter.
"Someone beyond my destiny has appeared. No wonder. I had never foreseen this before."
Cold sweat was running down the big toad head of the Toad Sage.
As expected, old guys like them have lived long enough to see everything. The saying "you see more when you live long enough" is indeed true.
Gama Sage is aware of his own problems. Sometimes he can predict his future destiny. This is actually a kind of perception ninjutsu. In other words, perception ninjutsu is a simple deduction of his ability to predict the future.
However, the outrageous thing about Shanks is that this guy used perception ninjutsu to reversely infer and has now reversed to the source of chakra, and has the ability of reverse perception, which can cut off Gama Sage's future prediction.
As an old man who has lived for thousands of years, Toad Sage figured out the reason immediately.
The fate he predicted did not include Shanks because Shanks's reverse perception ninjutsu was too outrageous and blocked his perception.
At this time, when Shanks encountered an accident while practicing the Sage Mode, he was able to sense Shanks.
"It is very likely that the other party also possesses the ability to predict future destiny."
Thinking of this, Gama Sage took the opportunity to enter the dream again. While Shanks had not recovered yet, Gama Sage brought Shanks in directly this time.
This kind of prediction is the quickest and most real. Of course, it has advantages and disadvantages, namely that very few things can be predicted.
However, with the help of some clues, Gama Sage was able to restore the truth of the matter and restore the true destiny of the future with the existence of Shanks.
One month later…
The Toad Sage finally woke up again.
"Shanks, the youngest of the Four Emperors...
Devil Fruit... Age of Discovery... End of the World... New World..."
"Is this the future of the ninja world?"
