Chapitre 75: Chapter 75: Individual Training
Obito suddenly felt alarmed.
I can't control myself anymore!
"Boom!"
Invisible energy surged around him.
An orange-red facial pattern appeared beside Obito's eyes. His dark pupils transformed into a golden hue, narrowing into horizontal slits.
"Thud!"
The staff in Fukasaku's hand dropped to the ground. Not just him—Shima, standing next to him, was equally stunned. Both toads froze, wide-eyed.
What's happening?
This kid… learned how to refine Sage Chakra in less than a minute?
Could this be the Child of Prophecy?
Unbelievable!
Obito scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.
"Uh… I think I just… got the hang of it?"
Fukasaku hadn't even closed his gaping mouth yet but managed to nod with a complex expression.
"It seems so… Alright, wash off the toad oil and try again."
Obito eagerly nodded.
"Got it!"
He stood up, deactivated Sage Mode, and walked to a nearby stream to wash off the toad oil from his arms. Once cleaned, he climbed back onto the stone toad's head and closed his eyes, resuming his training.
"Boom!"
In another instant of instinctive integration, Obito entered Sage Mode again, this time even faster than before.
Obito: "…"
Fukasaku: "…"
Shima: "…"
Finally, Obito understood.
He wasn't proficient enough to avoid entering Sage Mode instantly.
No, it was quite the opposite—his instincts were uncontrollable. The moment he absorbed natural energy, his body reflexively merged it with chakra, sending him straight into Sage Mode without hesitation.
(Jiraiya: Are you hearing this? Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth?)
Fukasaku took a deep breath, accepting the reality.
The Child of Prophecy, after all. A little miraculous ability… does it matter? Not at all!
Learning how to refine Sage Chakra in a minute—was that strange?
Yes, yes, it was incredibly strange!
Shima glanced at Fukasaku and said, "Dear, since little Obito has already mastered this, why not move on to teaching him how to use Sage Chakra?"
Fukasaku smacked his forehead.
"Right, right!"
"Little Obito, let's go over how to properly use Sage Chakra next."
...
Konohagakure.
In the Hokage's office, Kakashi stood nervously before the Third Hokage.
Hiruzen chuckled at Kakashi's uneasy demeanor.
"No need to be so tense, Kakashi. Your application has been approved."
Kakashi clenched his fist in excitement. Finally!
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"
Hiruzen pulled out a scroll from his robes and handed it to Kakashi.
"No need for thanks. This is a reward for your contributions."
"Read it carefully, then destroy it. If you have any questions, you can ask Minato directly," he added with a half-joking tone.
"And remember, no sharing it with others, or I won't go easy on you!"
Kakashi nodded firmly.
"I understand, Lord Hokage."
Carefully, Kakashi stored the scroll in his robes and left the Hokage's office.
Once home, he couldn't wait to pull it out. On the outside of the scroll were bold words:
[Flying Thunder God Technique]
Kakashi muttered under his breath, "Once I master this jutsu, I should be able to catch up to him."
He had never imagined a day would come when Obito would leave him behind.
Unacceptable!
The two of them could stand side by side or have each other's backs. But he could never allow himself to fall behind.
Especially now, with Obito training in Mount Myoboku, Kakashi knew he had to double his efforts.
...
One month later.
Jiraiya returned to Mount Myoboku.
"How's the kid doing, Fukasaku-sensei? It's been a month—he should be able to absorb natural energy on his own by now, right?"
But Fukasaku shook his head slowly.
"…Oh."
Jiraiya frowned. Had Obito not reached that stage yet?
Not that he doubted Obito's talent, but as a ninja, one's temperament was more critical than innate ability. Still, as the Child of Prophecy, Jiraiya couldn't help but have higher expectations for Obito.
With a sigh, Jiraiya realized he had been too impatient.
"So, where is little Obito at now?"
Fukasaku grinned.
"He's already mastered Sage Mode and has nearly perfected Mount Myoboku's Sage techniques."
Jiraiya blinked.
"Oh, so he's—wait, WHAT?!"
Fukasaku nodded calmly.
"That's right."
Jiraiya stared hard at the elder toad's face, searching for any sign of a joke.
"You're not messing with me, are you?"
Fukasaku chuckled.
"I wouldn't waste my time. Look over there, you'll see for yourself."
Following Fukasaku's gesture, Jiraiya spotted Obito practicing Sage techniques, the orange-red facial markings still visible.
Jiraiya's eyes widened in disbelief.
One month to master Sage techniques? If this kid isn't the Child of Prophecy, I'll eat my head and toss it into the women's bath!
Seeing Jiraiya's stunned reaction, Fukasaku couldn't help but smirk.
Ah, his reaction is just like mine when I first saw it. But eventually, I got used to it. Some people are just born extraordinary…
Jiraiya hesitated for a moment.
"So, what now?"
Fukasaku replied, "Since he's mastered Sage techniques, it's time for him to leave. Remember what the Great Toad Sage said? He can't miss that opportunity…"
Jiraiya's expression turned serious.
"I understand, Fukasaku-sensei."
The two stood quietly, watching the young boy train. After a while, Obito finished his session, deactivating Sage Mode as he ran toward them.
"Elder Fukasaku! Jiraiya-sensei! You're here too!"
Jiraiya smiled warmly.
"Yep. I heard you've been doing well, so I thought I'd bring you a little reward."
Obito's eyes lit up.
"A reward? What is it?"
Jiraiya's grin turned sly as he pulled out a small booklet.
"Check it out when you're alone. You'll definitely love it."
Obito gave a knowing smile.
"( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Thanks, Jiraiya-sensei! …Wait, are we leaving soon?"
