Chapter 340 Rapid Progress
The sun was setting, and soft light was cast on the shirtless Minato.
Under the waterfall of Mt. Myoboku, the speed of the air around him seemed to have increased a lot.
Natural energy quickly rushed towards Minato, and he himself was like a black hole, madly pulling this energy into his body.
"Bang!"
Somewhere in his body began to swell irregularly, becoming frog-like.
"Boss, hurry up!"
Beside Minato, Jiraiya said with a worried look on his face, but Fukasaku, who was holding a wooden stick, was reluctant to take any action.
"Don't make any noise." Fukasaku looked at him and said softly.
Jiraiya frowned and nodded.
"What a clever boy."
Fukasaku pondered in his heart. He had been living with nature for many years, so he could feel that although the natural energy around Minato was very turbulent at this moment, the natural energy that entered his body had been controlled by him to a relatively stable state.
In such an unknown and harsh environment, this was achieved in just one day.
This kind of training talent can only be described as terrifying.
Fukasaku has lived for hundreds of years, and has never seen a ninja with a talent like Minato.
After stabilizing the natural energy in his body, Minato consciously stopped absorbing the natural energy, and the frog transformation that was occurring on his body also suddenly stopped.
Minato opened his eyes, and his originally azure blue pupils turned into horizontal brown pupils.
He looked at the parts of his body that had transformed into frogs, and his slightly strange face reflected in the water in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I finally succeeded."
For him, this is not the first day he has been in contact with natural energy after his rebirth. As early as several years ago when he sneaked into the Sunagakure, his own chakra had the ability to contact natural energy.
Today he came to Mt. Myoboku just to practice balancing natural energy, a training he had done before. If it weren't for the abnormal change in the speed of absorbing natural energy, Minato would have been able to do it perfectly today.
Feeling the power within his body, Minato couldn't help but punch out. His strength at this moment was so great that it caused the air in front of him to vibrate slightly, just like ripples in a pool of water.
Not only has his strength increased, but now his movements can subtly affect the natural energy around him.
This was something that had never happened when Minato was practicing Senjutsu.
"Haha, it seems that your body's attraction to natural energy is not always a bad thing."
Fukasaku smiled and said that although he couldn't figure out what was going on with Minato's strange behavior when he absorbed natural energy, it was obvious that this unnatural traction would cause him trouble when he was balancing the energy.
But at the same time, after mastering the balance, the perception and attraction of natural energy will be much stronger than others.
"Yeah." Minato himself also felt it and nodded in response.
"Minato, it's time for us to go back." At this time, Jiraiya came in front of Minato and looked around.
Upon hearing this, Fukasaku was slightly surprised and said, "Minato hasn't completed his training in sage arts yet. Don't you want to stay in Mt. Myoboku at night?"
"No need." Jiraiya immediately spread his hands, lowered his eyes and swallowed his saliva.
Minato on one side smiled and explained: "Someone is waiting for us at home, so we will come again tomorrow."
"Master Fukasaku, please help me get out of this state."
"I see."
Fukasaku was easy to talk to. He knocked on Minato again to make him return to his original state. Otherwise, with Minato's current immature level of control, it would take some time for him to do it.
Minato changed his clothes, then took out a three prong kunai from his ninja tool bag and stuck it next to the pool of the waterfall.
"The Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Jutsu?"
Fukasaku is very knowledgeable, and the fact that Minato has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique is no longer a secret among the major ninja countries.
"Master Fukasaku, we are leaving now."
After saying goodbye to Fukasaku, Minato suddenly flashed to Jiraiya's side. Before the latter could fully react, the two of them suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Swish!
Two figures emerged in front of Minato's house.
"So you were in such a hurry to come back," Jiraiya said, looking at Minato beside him.
Minato shrank his neck, his throat constricted, and said, "Of course."
The expressions of the two people changed almost at the same time, and they seemed a little gloomy.
"It smells so good."
However, at this time, both of them smelled the fragrance wafting from Minato's house. The master and disciple looked at each other and rushed straight in.
"Welcome back, you've worked hard in your training."
Kushina, who was busy in the kitchen, saw Minato and Jiraiya who had just appeared in front of her as she had sensed them, and turned around and said.
However, when she saw the tearful expressions on the two men's faces, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
"Minato, Jiraiya-sensei, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Kushina asked.
The master and disciple flashed to the kitchen and saw the food being prepared on the table. Minato directly hugged her in his arms.
"Kushina, you're so nice!" Minato said excitedly, leaving Kushina confused as she didn't know the reason.
"Thank you so much, Kushina!" Jiraiya bowed deeply, and tears seemed to be welling up in his eyes.
"Uh, ok." Seeing the strange attitude of the two made Kushina blush slightly.
Kushina pushed Minato open, then looked at the two and chuckled, "Get ready, dinner will be served soon!"
"Um!"
The two of them responded heavily with tears in their eyes.
Two days later, near dusk, a faint shadow gradually appeared in the corner of Minato's eyes as he sat cross-legged beside the waterfall pool.
He opened his eyes and saw his face reflected in the pool water. Except for his pupils becoming horizontal, there was no change.
"You have already mastered the basics of Senjutsu. In this regard, you are even better than little Jiraiya!"
Fukasaku exclaimed, with a hint of surprise in his voice, "And it only took three days."
You have to know that when Jiraiya achieved the same step as Minato, it took him nearly three months in total.
"This is all thanks to your help." Minato smiled slightly.
Fukasaku smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, you won't need to use Toad Oil to practice. Even I am looking forward to it. How long will it take you to master the true Sage Mode?"
For the two sage who have lived for hundreds of years and have already surpassed the scope of ordinary creatures, there are very few things that can cause them to suuprise.
Even the entire history of ninjas was experienced by them at the same time.
If it weren't for the fact that Minato's speed in learning the Senjutsu was so terrifying, Fukasaku would never have said this.
Jiraiya on the side felt the pressure, because until now, he had not completed the second stage of training in Senjutsu.
Judging from this momentum, Minato is likely to surpass him in the near future.
However, as his sensei, Jiraiya was of course mostly relieved.
How could a sensei not be happy about his disciple's excellence?
Hearing this, Minato smiled and nodded, but in an instant, he seemed to sense something and his expression suddenly changed.
Swish!
Immediately, he used instant step and came to Jiraiya's side.
"Master Fukasaku, we need to leave."
He didn't even have time to dispel his own natural energy, and he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear with Jiraiya.
The next moment, Shima at the top of the waterfall carrying a bamboo basket.
