Chapter 28

The following day Ryu brought out Naruto to the public bath. when they reached, they found a man with white hair tied in a ponytail peeping on the women bath.

"Nii-san there is someone there!!" Naruto said in a loud voice

This causes the women in the bath to spot the man and throw stuffs at him till he fell down

"Who dare interrupt my research?" The man said as he looks at Ryu and Naruto.

"What research? you're just a pervert"

"I'm not a pervert I'm a super pervert"

"Long time no see Prevy sage" Ryu said

"Ohh Ryu how you been?"

"Good I see your still on your research"

"Right did you enjoy the last one?" Jiraya had given Ryu one of his book when they meet last. Curious about it he read it

"It was okay"

"So, what were you guy doing here anyway. don't tell me you also came for research"

"Not everybody is like you" he said with a smile.

"I was about to take Naruto for a bath before we start training" Ryu said "but now that you're back I think it will be best you did it."

"You want me to train the brat?"

"Of course, who better to teach him that you?"

"No, I'm not going to teach him"

Jiraya refuses to be his teacher till Naruto demonstrates his sexy technique, at which Jiraya was eagerly agrees.

Ryu looks at Naruto who turned into a naked woman Ryu felt his blood rushes to his head.

'A dangerous jutsu. no wonder a god like begin feel for it' Ryu though

"Oh yeah, Jiraya I need to speak with you about something" Ryu said as he regained himself.

"Ok we will talk later now I have to go back to my research" Jiraya said as he walks away.

Later in the day, Ryu met up with Jiraya as the went to the bar for a drink.

"Ahh so what do you want to talk about?" Jiraya said as he drops the alcohol bottle

"Yeah, I wanted to consult you regarding the sage mode" Ryu said

"Sage mode?"

"Yeah, I believe I have talent for it"

"Why would you think that?" he question Ryu

"you remember what you told me about begin able to sense natural energy I'm able to do that but I don't know where to go from there"

"What?" Jiraya was shocked as he didn't expect him to be able to do that "are you sure"

Yeah Jiraya seems to enter into though.

Alright come with me let me confirm it from myself

Following Jiraya Ryu found himself inside one of the villages training ground

"Wait a bit" he said as he bit his finger {summoning jutsu}

After the cloud cleared an old frog appeared

"Jiraya-boy why did you call me?"

"Fukasaku-sama I want you to check something for me" Jiraya said "this is Uchiha Ryu. He is the nephew of my student."

"Nice to meet you Fukasaku sama" Ryu greeted

"He claims he is able to sense natural energy" Jiraya said

"Huh!?" Now the topic had his full attention

He looked closely at Ryu like he was trying see something.

"More than just feel it he attracts natural energy just by breathing" Fukasaku said with shock in his tone.

Now it was Ryu's turn to be shocked as he didn't expect him to notice that he could absorb natural energy use his sun breath.

"Really does that mean he can use sage mode?" Jiraya asked

"Yes, but he is using the natural that gives he a boost in strength but not as much as sage mode" Fukasaku answered

"That is right" Ryu didn't deny "that is why I decided to consult Jiraya about it"

"Hmm, you do have potential for sage mode but the training method of the frog sage will not work for you" The old frog said "you will have to find away to achieve it yourself"

"*Sigh* guess it won't be easy" Ryu sighed

"Do not worry I guide you on the basic you need to know about sage mode" Fukasaku said

With that said Fukasaku explained to Ryu what was need to achieve sage mode. All he needs to do was to find balance between his normal chakra and natural chakra. he said since he could sense the natural chakra the rest will be much easier.

After get the information he need he goes back to his apartment. After settling down Ryu tries to see if he achieves sage mode. Sitting cross-legged Ryu closes his eye and tries to feel the natural energy in his surrounding, as he has done it already many times, he easily felt it around him.

Using his breathing technique, he absorbs the energy in large amount. Although he could absorb the energy before but he always did it in small amounts and was never really mixed with his chakra. But now that he wants to balance it out with his chakra needed a large amount as he had a lot more chakra that others.

But Ryu underestimated the lethality of natural energy. When the energy came in contact with his chakra It was like fire and oil. They suddenly mix and a more powerful type of chakra.

Ryu felt a lot of pain as he felt like the chakra was trying to burn him from inside out. Ryu quickly uses the breathing technique to expel the rest of the energy out before he burns out

"Ha...Haa!! that was close it seem that unlike the frog sage mode where one turns into stone if the energy is to much mine will burn me" Ryu said as steam emerges from his body.

"Guess I can't rush it"
