S2 Ch 29 (Ch 117) : Sage mode training

After sealing the leftover energy, the elder Lapras sent Sanada away, which Sanada happily obliged to do so.

Being with an old man with a generation gap is somewhat pretty tiring, especially with all the historical talk he said.

Sanada and the two Lapras left the room, and after being sent away, they went to the nearby crystal pool.

"Sanada, to practice the Sage mode, you need 1st to be able to perceive and gather natural energy. You should let natural energy flow in and out of your body. In other words, you need to become one with nature. Just like the oil in the Toad's mountain, we also have our own way. The crystal water here would help you to feel natural energy, but please be aware. One small mistake and you will find yourself be frozen to death."

" ??? "

" No need to pretend to be shocked. When you made the decision to come here, there should be two things on your mind, right? First is to heal your injury, while the later being to learn sage mode."

Sanada was surprised, he never thought that his goal was actually clear to the other party all along.

" Now, stop wasting more time. Just go to train!"

" Ah.. yes!"

Sanada at this time wasn't going to be polite anymore.

Since his intention has been discovered, then he would use this chance to train as much as possible.

The meeting with Urashiki had opened his eyes and showed how much of a slacker he was.

There was still much threat that would come to the ninja world, and for that, Sanada needed to prepare himself.

He entered the crystal lake, and all of a sudden, he felt some changes begin to occur on his body.

' So this is the Natural energy, huh?'

While being disfocused, Sanada unconsciously let the natural energy run rampant on his body, and it almost froze his whole arm.

Luckily, Lapras was on time.

*Slap*

Lapras slapped Sanada's hand with his head.

" Ouch, what was that for?"

"Sanada, Your 1st step to learning Senjutsu is to understand the difference between your Chakra and natural energy!" As she finished his words, Chyntia pointed at Lapras.

" Actually, you must thank him, he hit you with his head to bring out the natural energy in his arm."

"Now Sanada, you don't have to worry about being swallowed by natural energy, so use the crystal lake you want. Once the body begins to freeze, it means that practice has failed. When that happens, Lapras over there will slap you, and you need to start over until you can feel the natural energy without the help of the crystal lake!"

Sanada fully understood what his 1st task was.

He nodded at Chyntia and began to meditate.

For the rest of the day, Sanada tried his best to understand the feeling of natural energy.

Sadly, he soon discovered that he was not that talented in this, and it might take longer than his expectation.

. . . . .

-Later that night-

Sanada was currently in the room that Lapras had prepared for him.

He was lying on the bed while thinking about all the things happening during the day, but no matter what he did, he really couldn't erase the frustration on his mind.

For him to be not that talented in the natural energy aspect, should he really Scrape the path of sage mode?

But just when Sanada was deep in his thought, a new system prompt made its appearance.

[ DING!!! Congratulations on unlocking a new achievement: Student to lover, a special reward will be given to the host!]

[ DING!!! Congratulations for Temaru to reaching the affection level: love special reward will be given to the host!]

[ DING!!! Get 10x gacha ticket]

' .... '

Damn... Temari, I really love you.

Now that Sanada was stuck, the gacha ticket really gave him new hope.

' System, I want to do the gacha pull!'

The system prompted, and just like before, Sanada's consciousness was dragged into that empty space with ten cards floating before him.

[ Touch the card to see the result.]

As Sanada's hand was extended, all ten cards turned around, but maybe because he had used all his luck in the previous draw, this gacha draw only had one with a golden shine.

[ Guitar (Iron-Grade item)]

[ Kunai (Iron-Grade item)]

[ Flute (Iron-Grade item)]

[ Fake tattoo (Iron-Grade item)]

[ Towel (Iron-Grade item)]

[ Soap (Iron-Grade item)]

[ Toothbrush (Silver-Grade item)]

[ Long-distance communicator (Silver-Grade item)]

[ Rapping skill card (Silver-Grade item)]

[ Natural energy affinity increase card (Golden-Grade Item)]

' ... '

Really my lucky star...

As soon as the system was prompted, Sanada immediately sang praise to his lucky star.

The last item was what he really needed right now. During the battle with Otusuki, sage mode was necessary, and Sanada was really desperate for it.

To be honest, he could still explode the little bit of energy that Whis's template had left in his body to enter a semi sage mode. Still, without the Whis's template, doing so would almost queal to suicide, and it would make his body be destroyed from within.

Sanada exited the drawing space as he was now full of excitement.

He opened the system inventory and quickly took out the Natural energy affinity increase card.

' Hehe, let's see how they would be surprised by my progress tomorrow!'
