Kapitel 136: Chapter 136: Like the Wind.
Training was dull and monotonous.
Especially Senjutsu training, which was even more tedious.
But as Raijin began his training, he noticed that he was gradually becoming more serene.
After all, with time stretching infinitely, there wasn't much else to think about.
And this time seemed to stretch for a year and a half.
Raijin sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning against a large tree, breathing leisurely, occasionally blinking his eyelids.
The slug clone that had brought a basket of fruits suddenly stopped in its tracks.
The sunlight in Shikkotsu Forest was pleasant today, casting irregular patterns through the leaves onto Raijin's body.
It looked as though he was bathed in a layer of holy light.
Slug Sage knew that this time, Raijin was likely sensing the natural energy present in the world.
Although Raijin hadn't reached the state of perfect stillness yet, people are inherently different. The hard criterion for sensing natural energy is whether one can perceive it—not whether they can enter a state of stillness.
Some people, even if they enter a state of stillness, might not sense the existence of natural energy due to weak spiritual power.
Raijin's advantage lies in his strong spiritual energy, allowing him to sense natural energy more quickly.
At this moment, Raijin indeed felt a special kind of energy—a pervasive white energy.
Without attempting to control this energy, Raijin opened his eyes.
"Have you already sensed the natural energy?"
Slug Sage approached Raijin, pushing a basket filled with fruits.
"Yes, it's a white energy," Raijin confirmed, a hint of delight in his expression.
"That's natural energy. By blending it evenly with your chakra, you can master Sage Mode," Slug Sage explained.
"Is that so?" Raijin nodded, extending his hand. A sphere of azure chakra energy appeared in his palm.
Seeing this, Slug Sage couldn't help but smile.
"Are you always this cautious?"
"If possible, it's better to be cautious,"
Raijin replied, his brow furrowing. The white light began converging toward the chakra energy in his palm.
With Raijin's current experimental method, the margin for error was still very high.
Raijin focused, carefully controlling the fusion of natural energy and chakra.
White and blue blended together, and as Raijin adjusted the balance, he felt the unique sensation of senjutsu chakra forming.
After many attempts, Raijin finally mastered the method to balance the two types of energy.
But...
Raijin looked at the mixture of natural energy and chakra in his hand, which was bigger than his head, and fell into deep thought.
How should he deal with this thing...
"Sigh... Please make sure to throw it in a spacious place."
Upon seeing the large mass of energy in Raijin's hand, the Slug Sage sighed and said helplessly.
"I'm really sorry."
Upon hearing this, Raijin felt embarrassed, flashed his body, and a violent explosion sounded in the distance.
"Wow! Senjutsu is really powerful, huh?"
Looking at the huge pit that appeared in front of him, Raijin subconsciously swallowed.
...
In the distance, the Slug Sage's clone, who was guarding Tsunade, kindly formed a transparent barrier with natural energy, isolating the violent explosion sound.
During the process of practicing Senjutsu, especially in the initial stage, one must absolutely not be disturbed by anything.
Otherwise, it would be easy to lose all previous efforts.
...
"The core of Senjutsu is actually to introduce natural energy into the body and combine it with chakra, which is what people call Sage Mode."
Upon hearing this, the Slug Sage said to Raijin.
"I won't teach you my Senjutsu. After all, the techniques suitable for slugs may not necessarily be suitable for ninjas. The advice I can give you is that perhaps you can try to combine Senjutsu with your Lightning Release."
The Slug Sage said to Raijin.
"Mm, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Raijin laughed lightly. Right now, Raijin was very excited.
The strong desire to express himself made Raijin want to find someone to show off properly.
"How about Tsunade? How is Tsunade doing?"
Raijin asked the Slug Sage.
"Tsunade is at a critical moment right now, you must not disturb her. It's really incredible that Little Tsunade, with her personality, can persist for so long."
Upon hearing this, the Slug Sage said, also with some emotion.
"Sigh... Thinking about it, it's been a long time since I've seen Tsunade."
Upon hearing this, Raijin laughed and shook his head.
"If you go to find Tsunade now and cause Tsunade to lose all her previous efforts, I think Tsunade will definitely kill you."
Upon hearing this, the Slug Sage said to Raijin with a hint of laughter in his tone.
"Mm, you make a lot of sense."
Upon hearing this, Raijin laughed out loud. It must be said that the Slug Sage understands Tsunade.
"Let's continue practicing here. It's safer with me watching over you."
"Okay, then I'll be troubling you from now on."
After relaxing for several days in a row and calming down his excited mood, Raijin began a new round of practice.
Introduce natural energy into the body, combine it with chakra, and enter Sage Mode.
Combine natural energy with all the techniques he has mastered to develop the most suitable Senjutsu for himself.
Although he exposed some of his own information in the Chunin exam.
But now, he is much stronger than he was during the Chunin exam!
...
Mount Myoboku.
Fukasaku and Shima, the two sages, stood on Jiraiya's shoulders, one on each side.
On Jiraiya's face, the Sage's face mask appeared.
"Is this Sage Mode? It's really... too powerful!"
Jiraiya exclaimed excitedly.
"What are you happy about? If it weren't for us two, you idiot would never learn Sage Mode in your life!"
Fukasaku Sage said to Jiraiya with a bit of a headache.
It's been three years, a full three years, and this guy still hasn't learned Sage Mode!
He clearly sensed natural energy in a very short time!
Where did the problem arise?
"Alright, the Great Toad Sage has awakened, let's hurry over."
Shima Sage interrupted Fukasaku Sage and said to Jiraiya.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya exited Sage Mode and, led by Fukasaku and Shima, headed towards the Great Toad Sage.
...
Konohagakure, Training Ground Three.
Even though his teammates were not around, Orochimaru still habitually came here to train every day.
Here, he could recall the times when he and his teammates trained together.
Slowly closing his eyes, feeling the breeze blowing on him, Orochimaru's figure slowly disappeared.
Just like the wind.
