The Next Morning...
I got up early, even though I went to bed late the night before. I did some meditation since I hadn't done it at all last week.
After meditating and doing some yoga, I had breakfast and headed to the Konoha waterfall.
I thought it would be better to learn new things there, surrounded by nature. It would be more peaceful, and no one would bother me.
After a bit of walking, I reached the training ground near the waterfall. Just like I thought, it was very peaceful here.
So, first, I decided to summon Ouroboros...
"Summoning Jutsu!" I called out, following the steps of the technique. In an instant, my summon, Ouroboros, appeared in front of me—a huge snake!
"Naruto, you summoned me!" it said. This was maybe the second or third time I had heard its voice.
"Yes, I need some important information from you. Last time, you mentioned you had tips on learning sage mode. I want to learn it now, so I need your guidance on how to..." I explained.
"But you need to visit Ryūchi Cave, the home of the snake sage for that..." it replied.
"I don't have time for that, and I can't leave the village right now. It would just cause more problems. I want to learn it here. Just give me the basics, and I can figure out the rest. Plus, sage mode is about nature energy, and nature is everywhere around here. I don't think it'll be an issue," I insisted.
"Alright. First, you need to sit cross-legged," Ouroboros instructed.
"Hold on a second," I replied. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" I created ten shadow clones all at once. "You guys focus on what we learned last night. Each of you take one chakra nature and work on adding it to Rasengan, or any Wind Style or Ninjutsu. You can even practice curse techniques," I directed them. They all nodded in agreement. "Just make sure to keep your distance; I don't want to be interrupted during my training," I added.
They left making a distance between me and them, "Now I'm Ready!" I said
With a smirk, Ouroboros said, "You know chakra is made of two types of energy—Physical Energy and Spiritual Energy, right?"
I nodded, 'cause I already knew that stuff.
Ouroboros continued, "Sage Mode needs you to mix in natural energy from snakes. You gotta balance Physical Energy, Spiritual Energy, and Natural Energy from the snakes. But remember, you can't move while gathering Natural Energy, or you won't get any."
I rubbed my chin, thinking it over, and then asked, "Does it have to be Natural Energy from an animal?"
Ouroboros looked a bit surprised and replied, "Hmm... I'm not sure. If you want to learn snake sage , then yes."
I nodded and then asked, "What should I do now?"
"First, it's great that there's a waterfall here."
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
"Your first task is to sit under the waterfall and stay still for 30 minutes. You need to focus on feeling the nature energy around you."
"That sounds hard," I said.
"It is... and it might take—"
"But not for me," I interrupted, seeing his surprised look. "What?!"
"Nothing! You just seem very confident!"
"Yes, nothing is difficult for me," I said, teleporting myself under the waterfall. "I need to sit here for 30 minutes, right?" I asked.
"Yes!"
I sat down under the waterfall, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath, preparing to focus on the nature around me.
This should be easy for me...
I closed my eyes and started to concentrate on everything around me—the water, the air, the sounds—everything.
I sensed the energy around me...
And just like that, the 30 minutes passed.
After 30 minutes, I stood up.
"What's next?" I asked.
"You did it on the first try?" he said, shocked.
"Yeah, it wasn't that difficult," I replied.
"So, what do you think now? How did you feel after those 30 minutes of concentration?"
"I felt all the energy... the nature energy around me. I think I can do more than just learn the Snake Sage Mode," I said.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Just tell me what I need to do now!" I insisted.
"I don't have much time. The summoning contract will end soon, and I have to leave. So, I'll explain everything you need to know from now on."
I nodded as he detailed what I needed to do and how to achieve Sage Mode from here.
"Now I'll go then, be careful, Naruto." He said, disappearing from sight.
Now , I guess I will continue the training alone...
[A.N: Did you ever wonder about how a wind sage look ? Or Maybe Sage Of Fire, Or water ... I don't know, just asking ..
