Ch 129 : Sage mode

Physical energy, spiritual energy, and natural energy, condensed in a 1:1:1 ratio, form Sage Chakra.

In a lounge inside the Hokage Building, Makoto sat cross-legged on the floor, sensing the special chakra within him, black eye markings appearing on his face.

In front of him was a baby cradle, inside which lay Jugo.

Condensing chakra posed no risk; failure at most meant being unable to refine chakra.

Since the beginning of their training, ninjas had become so adept at this process that it was as natural as eating and drinking.

However, drawing in natural energy was a different matter.

It involved adding a new element to a deeply ingrained process, all without making a single mistake.

Unlike chakra refinement, failure here carried risks.

This was extremely challenging and required both caution and mastery.

After countless simulations inside Jugo's body, Makoto finally began gathering Sage Chakra on his own.

Fortunately, his prior preparations had not been in vain.

He succeeded on his first attempt, with the distinctive facial markings of Sage Mode appearing on his face.

This was a completely different sensation.

His body entered a new realm, making it difficult for him to gauge his current strength.

His sensory perception expanded to a terrifying range, as if he could control all the natural energy around him.

Makoto opened his palm, and in an instant, a flicker of flame materialized, constantly dancing in his hand.

In the past, he controlled natural energy by vibrating his chakra to resonate with it.

Now, he could directly command natural energy.

The sensation was as smooth and responsive as moving his own limbs, even more effortless than before.

With just a gentle wave of his hand, everything in the lounge floated into the air.

Even Jugo, lying in the cradle, was sent flying around the room under his control.

After restoring everything to its original place, Makoto walked to the window, opened it, and transformed into a streak of light, shooting out of the room.

At the same time, in the Barrier Squad.

"The barrier is reacting!" one member exclaimed.

"Calm down, it's probably just Lord Makoto flying off again. He always does this," an experienced veteran said.

"Was that Lord Makoto's chakra just now?"

"Yes, it was him."

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Carry on with your tasks."

Makoto's speed was astonishing, far faster than before.

In just a few minutes, he reached the border of the Land of Fire.

This speed could only be described as terrifying.

He found that everything he did now became remarkably simple.

Skipping the step of vibrating his own chakra to manipulate natural energy felt somewhat strange to him.

Hovering high in the sky, Makoto looked down at the mountains and rivers below, his heart surging with excitement.

A few minutes later, he appeared above Amegakure in the Land of Rain. Controlling the surrounding natural energy, he wrapped himself within it, bypassing all sensory techniques and barriers effortlessly.

Despite the rainy weather, no raindrop touched his body.

Sensing several familiar chakras, he descended instantly into the courtyard of a residence.

Laughter echoed from the living room—male and female voices, young and old alike.

Jiraiya, who was chatting with his disciples, suddenly turned his gaze toward the courtyard outside the living room.

"Jiraiya-sensei, what are you looking at?" Yahiko asked, following his gaze, but the courtyard was empty.

Jiraiya, somewhat thoughtful, wondered if it was just a hallucination.

He shook his head. "Nothing."

By the time Jiraiya had this thought, Makoto had already left Amegakure.

At that moment, he was darting through the clouds above, effortlessly navigating between them.

In the past, when he flew, he had to carefully control his chakra, appearing casual but actually performing it with great precision.

Now, it was different.

He truly felt like he was galloping freely between heaven and earth.

This unrestrained sensation made him incredibly enamored.

With a casual wave of his hand, a massive and fierce flame erupted, instantly swallowing the clouds.

Makoto then arrived at a distant mountain cliff with a waterfall.

The sound of the waterfall was deafening, the water flowing rapidly and crashing down below.

A rainbow arched above the river below.

Makoto took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening, and the surging chakra in his body began to stir.

A cyclone suddenly formed around him, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Then, the waterfall suddenly changed its course.

The water that was originally flowing downward now reversed direction and began flowing upward into the sky.

The dense white water surged like a silk ribbon, reaching several meters high before breaking apart into countless droplets, scattering all around and cleansing the area.

A larger rainbow appeared in the sky above.

The animals and birds in the forest were startled, all watching this unprecedented spectacle.

Makoto let out a carefree laugh, allowing the waterfall to continue pouring from the sky as he flew away.

Back at Konoha, in the resting room of the Hokage Building, he glanced at the time on the wall—it had only been a little over half an hour.

Jugo, still in the cradle, was sound asleep.

Makoto deactivated Sage Mode and stepped out of the resting room, where Hakumen was waiting outside.

"Lord Makoto!" Hakumen bowed and greeted him.

"Did you succeed, Lord Makoto?"

Makoto gave him a glance and said, "It seems you already know."

Hakumen lowered his head. "I can feel that Lord Makoto is in a very good mood."

Makoto couldn't help but chuckle. He then said, "Send that child back."

Hakumen acknowledged and then added, "Guy is waiting for you in your office."

Makoto walked into the office and saw Guy standing there bored.

When he saw Makoto enter, a smile immediately spread across his face.

"Makoto!"

A few days ago, Makoto had told him to rest, and Guy didn't know why, but now that he had rested according to Makoto's instructions, he came to find him.

Makoto spoke directly, "I've seen your physical examination report."

Guy paused for a moment.

"Your taijutsu is strong, and your physical stamina is impressive, but there are hidden injuries and severe strain in various parts of your body. This is due to overtraining."

"…"

Makoto continued, "You train very hard, harder than anyone else, and I understand that. If you continue like this, you may truly carve a path in taijutsu that no one has ever walked before."

"But you are still human. The human body has its limits. The cost of trying to break through that boundary might be something you can't bear."

Makoto's words were somewhat complex, and Guy had a rough understanding.

It seemed that his constant day and night training had put his body in a high-stress state, and if this continued, there might not be a good outcome.

But Guy had already grown accustomed to this way of living, which was why, after joining the Anbu, he found himself somewhat ill at ease with the work.

At this moment, Makoto spoke again, "I have a better path for you, are you interested?"

Guy thought for a long time before asking, "What path?"

Makoto paused for a moment, then looked at him and said, each word deliberate:

"Sage Body Technique!"
