Chapter 129 ( Senjutsu)

( Two months later)

Time had passed by quickly and two months had passed since Ren, fused the last two remaining bloodlines he had.

In those two months, Ren had managed to get a lot done from continuing his research and learning dust release, to even completing some A-rank missions.

The last two months had been very productive, and Ren was finally ready to return to the prideful grasslands to learn sage mode.

So early in the morning Ren had left the hidden stone and gone to the prideful grasslands lands where he was now.

( Prideful grasslands)

" Where are we going?" Ren asked as he followed the lion sage as they walked deeper into the grasslands.

" You want to learn sage mode right?"

" Of course, that's why I am here."

" Great then follow me and be quiet. We are almost there anyways." the lion sage said as they continued walking.

As they did Ren kept trying to sense his surroundings trying to find out where they were going but got nothing.

' What the hell is happening??' Ren questioned in his mind.

One had to know Ren had prided himself on the fact that he had one of the best sensory abilities in the world right now, apart from Mito and the lion sage in front of him, and maybe a few others.

So it was shocking to find out his sensory abilities could be tricked to this extent, he could see the grassland stretching for what seemed like forever in front of him, but his sensory abilities made it seemed that there was nothing ahead of them at all.

While Ren was trying to figure out what was happening he didn't notice the lion sage was smiling as he seemed to know what was happening to Ren.

" Child we are here." the sage stopped and said looking into the distance.

" Here??" Ren asked as he snapped out of his confusion looking around.

" But there is nothing here."

" Mhm, there is nothing and there is something, this is the living area for the lion that has started to learn how to use sage made the truly mature lions." the lion sage said.

"..."

Ren still couldn't understand what was happening as he switched between the Sharingan and Byakugan trying to see what was really in front of him.

" Is it an illusion?" Ren asked as he still could find anything with his eyes.

"That's right little Ren, I've seen your abilities in genjutsu I thought you might like it, it's a genjutsu used with senjutsu chakra to the extreme, it almost becomes one with nature so there is almost no way to tell it apart unless you can use senjutsu chakra."

" So it's almost reality?" Ren questioned.

" No, far from it, Genjutsu is an amazing power, one which can even alter reality but that level is still far away from this, you only think that because you can't use senjutsu chakra." says the lion sage.

" Mhm."

Ren still couldn't believe everything around him was an illusion, the Byakugan and the Sharingan couldn't even see anything out of order, everything seemed normal, even using space release to check the surrounding wasn't working.

Bam!!!

The lion sage tapped this cane on the ground, snapping Ren back to his senses and sending off a ripple that spread visible to the naked eyes through the ground and sky, soon seemingly unable to bear it the ground and sky cracked and shattered revealing the truth of what was really around them.

And the truth caused Ren to take a step back as sweat rolled down his back.

Before Ren stood, Ten truly enormous lions each looking at him with amusement, As they stood before him Ren could barely feel their presence behind them was a large mountain range and Ren could make out what seemed like large cave entrances, clearly, the homes of the lions, and the reality hit him.

If an enemy had this power and wanted him, most likely he would be the illusion before had hidden these enormous and powerful lions.

Ren didn't like the feeling that he could have been killed easily just now, and not even know how he died.

" Sage- sama, is this the new summoner?" one of the lions asked.

" Mhm, that is correct Kabaji."

" That some powerful chakra he's got hidden there and the vitality, outside he must be one of the strongest." the lion said as the other continued studying Ren.

" That he is, he is here to learn sage mode, which one of you will be willing to help him along?" the sage questioned.

" Mhm, sage mode, it shouldn't be a problem for him to survive is he in a rush or....."

" Well, Ren are you in a rush?" The lion sage asked.

" Why do you ask?"

" There is more than one way to learn sage mode here. The first is the slowest method there is a high level of nature chakra present anywhere in the prideful grasslands you can find a comfortable place and try sensing nature chakra and absorb it with the chance of turning to stone.

The second is faster but carries with it more danger, enter one of our dens, in which the concentration on nature chakra is far more concentrated than outside, you are sure to sense nature energy but chances are the high concentration of nature energy will turn you to stone before you learn to control it.

And the final choice is the fastest, I could bite you and invest senjutsu chakra right into your chakra I would of course try to guess the right amount but most likely it will be too much, and by then you only have one choice control the nature energy or die." Kabaji said.
