Talent and Knowledge

I coated it with the first stage first, and seeing Fukasaku nod, I changed the coating to the five elements with the first stage. He had a look of shock, and seeing this I made the second stage wind coat on the sword.

I did the same I did with the stage show and by the end I looked at the toad again. He had frozen. He woke up and looked at me in the eyes and said" Did you really created this technique ? You did read it from a book or anything like this ?"

I shook my head, a bit confused about the question. It was not that surprising to do that, I just changed a neutral chakra coating to an elemental one… The frog asked" How does your technique works young man ?"

I looked at Jiraya a bit doubtful because as a ninja I shouldn't reveal my technique to other people, especially strangers, so that is why I turned to Jiraya to be sure it was trustworthy.

As Jiraya nodded to me, I explainde it" My technique take as basis a technique which consist of coating neutral chakra on an object most of the time. I changed it by making the neutral chakra an element chakra. However this needs excellent chakra control.

That is so because to make the chakra an elemental one I need to apply the chakra in a certain way, akin to its element. That is what I call the first stage of my technique. Then there is the second stage, where I delve deeper in the element and take a property from that element. For exemple a fire coating will allow me to create fire, a water one will disrupt the light by making little invisible mirrors and deflecting the light, making the thing coating a mirrage.

This second stage also allow me to coat my own body. But here is the problem, I feel there is a third stage, but I can't access it. Some times ago while working on the second stage I thought I had an inkling about the third stage but it was proven wrong. So I came here because I think that maybe the so called sage mode will help me."

Fukasaku looked at me seriously and said" Do you know about nature energy ?" I shook my head and replied" I only have a very shallow understanding about it, but I never really understood what it was."

The sage nodded" There are three different kinds of fuel for the body existing. First are the most known chakra, and body strenght that makes jutsu and taijutsu. But there is a third not known by many, that is the natural energy. This is not well known because it is hard to differentiate between it and chakra.

But this is the most powerful of all, that is for certain, but also the most dangerous to use. The sage mode is about this. You gather natural energy inside your body to make it stronger, and also make your use of chakra stronger."

It then added " If I am talking about it is because unknowingly you already used it in your technique."I froze hearing this, and rebuted" No I don't think so, I only use chakra, and the elements…"

Fukasaku smiled, and said" Now you understand, the elements ARE nature, so nature energy. So you were right, sage mode is the thing you need for advancing that technique of yours." I was relieved hearing this, but Jiraya asked" Master, how did you knew about the natural enregy in his technique ? I fought a lot against him and never felt the natural energy."

Fukasaku sighed and said"That is because your sage mode is not strong enough, and also for another reason." Jiraya followed" That is ?"Fukasaku looked at me and said" The nature energy he uses is not the same as us. It is a more powerful, a purer natural enregy. If I could feel it is only because I mastered the sage mode of the toads."

I did not really understand what he said, and it seems Jiraya neither as he asks"Lord Fukasaku, why is his natural energy purer than our ? Aren't all the natural energy around us the same ?" The toad shook its head and said" The natural energy around us is different from the one Kyokai uses. There is a different kind of natural energy for every of the five element, and like the chakra there is a neutral kind of natural energy.

The neutral one around us have nothing in particular, it will enhance someone as a whole for a limited period of time because of its impurity. But the elemental energy is different. It will only enhance one aspect of someone, but there won't me any limit of time. That is because of it's purity. Of course it will be way more difficult to master.

Your case is special. Your third stage is the sage mode, and I don't know if there is a fourth, but if you manage to advance to the third stage with all the five elements, then you will have a permanent sage mode, even better than ours. That means you will have a new body, a stronger one, and you will be able to live even longer."

As he said that I panicked a little. I asked" But I have the sharingan, will it disappear with the sage mode ?" I would rather keep my eyes that Dan made sacrifices for me to have rather than new powers, however strong they are. Fukasaku fortunetly shook its or his head and said" No, it will even enhance them.

It will be even better if you unlock the rinnegan." I looked at him in shock because nobody except me know about the possible upgrade of the EMS in rinnegan. I should be the only one because I read it in the stone within the Uchiha grounds, in the last part only someone with EMS could read.

Fukasaku saw my shock and said" If I know this it is because I know of the origin of those eyes of yours, originally the rinnegan was from the sage of 6 path, and his two sons shared his powers, one his body strenght, and founded the senju clan, the other his eyes, that is the sharingan, and founded the Uchiha. It is only that the sage upgraded it to the rinnegan.So I know that for you to upgrade to the rinnegan you need Senju and Uchiha Dna."
