Sage Mode!
Seeing Jiraiya’s face adorned with horizontal red markings, red eyeshadow circling his eyes, and his pupils turned into horizontal slits, a satisfied smile appeared on Uchiha Jin’s face.
Sage Mode, alongside the power of the Otsutsuki clan’s bloodline, stands as one of the pinnacles of power in this ninja world. Knowing he would inevitably face stronger foes in the future, Uchiha Jin naturally had a keen interest in such extraordinary power.
However, the training methods for Sage Mode came with certain prerequisites. Apart from the naturally sage-transformed Jugo, others could only attain this power through the teachings of the three great summoning realms.
At this moment, Jiraiya had activated Sage Mode and summoned the two great Toad Sages from Mount Myoboku, something Uchiha Jin had anticipated. After all, under the watchful gaze of the Mangekyo Sharingan, no matter how covert Jiraiya’s movements were, Uchiha Jin couldn’t have missed the hidden shadow clone disguised as an old woman.
Driven by his curiosity about Sage Chakra and his desire to fight a formidable opponent, Jin had been observing Jiraiya’s disguised shadow clone all along.
Watching someone criticize themselves while being so ruthless was indeed an eye-opener for Uchiha Jin today.
Despite his extensive observation, even with his heightened senses, Jin hadn’t detected any fluctuations of natural energy, let alone managed to copy and create “Sage Chakra” using his Sharingan.
However, regarding Sage Chakra, Jin, who was armed with memories of relevant plots, was not unfamiliar.
Firstly, the practitioner must possess a large amount of chakra. Then, they need to balance their physical and spiritual energies and merge them with natural energy in a 1:1:1 ratio to form this special power known as Sage Chakra.
Obtaining Sage Chakra is akin to the Uchiha awakening their Sharingan; it significantly enhances the user’s ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.
However, unlike the constant presence of the Sharingan, Sage Chakra requires the practitioner to remain still, the casting time is long, and it is a limited resource that can only be maintained for a certain period.
Using Sage Chakra is also highly dangerous. Failing to maintain the balance between the three energies can result in severe petrification backlash.
Despite the great difficulty and risks of training in Sage Chakra, the tremendous power it grants upon success is proportional to the effort put in.
Consider Jiraiya, initially a mediocre ninja who, through the practice of Sage Chakra, became the strongest among the Sannin in their normal state.
Tsunade with the Senju bloodline, the genius inventor Orochimaru—both were overtaken by Jiraiya, who had neither a notable bloodline nor innate talent…
Hence, from the moment Uchiha Jin arrived in this world, besieged by internal and external threats, he had already begun to plot for this miraculous power.
Even though it was such a wild and powerful force, available to absorb and use anywhere, Jin had never felt any natural energy.
For a firm materialist, Jin found this unscientific.
Unfortunately, there was no customer service in the world of Naruto Online. Otherwise, Jin would have immediately contacted them to report this bug left by the game’s developers.
However, after awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan and especially after using the powerful Kotoamatsukami technique, Jin had a faint understanding.
At this moment, as Jiraiya successfully activated Sage Mode, the familiar energy fluctuations helped Jin complete a crucial piece of the puzzle.
Through this revelation, Jin roughly understood what the so-called Sage Mode of the three great summoning realms was.
“It’s a bit disgusting!”
Though Jin felt his threshold for disgust was high, watching the two Toad Sages embedded in Jiraiya’s flesh still made him nauseous.
Even though he understood that this was a special effect of the Sage Art: Amphibian Technique, which granted him the powerful support of the two Toad Sages and significantly extended his Sage Mode duration, he still found it distasteful.
Even if it’s useful, it doesn’t mean I have to like it!
Mount Myoboku’s Sage Mode requires toad oil as a medium, while Ryuchi Cave’s Sage Mode requires the White Snake Sage’s venom…
Although the methods seem entirely different, in essence, they are the same!
Both are techniques to integrate special animal genes and flesh into the practitioner’s body, differing only in their gentle or rough approach.
As a human, Jin decided to completely give up on obtaining Sage Chakra through the three great summoning realms, but this didn’t mean he would abandon the pursuit of Sage Chakra altogether.
Especially the moment when Jiraiya, dodging the blood-red blade, used a Rasengan infused with Sage Chakra to clash with Susanoo’s crimson energy.
Repulsion!
Jin clearly felt a reactive repulsion between Sage Chakra and his Mangekyo Sharingan power.
Or maybe it’s not just repulsion but hostility? Savagery?
Though the reason was still unclear, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Jin, forming a brilliant idea in his mind.
Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!
After locking eyes with Jin for a long time, Jiraiya finally couldn’t hold back. Even with the support of the two Toad Sages, his Sage Mode had limited duration.
Seeing Jin effortlessly maintain the massive Susanoo, Jiraiya leaped into the air, rapidly forming an enormous Super Big Ball Rasengan in his hand.
Swish!
Under Jin’s control, Susanoo moved with surprising agility despite its massive size, wielding its blood-red blade once more.
“So tough!”
Jiraiya’s heart sank further, feeling the immense defense of the crimson Susanoo.
No wonder it’s called a god’s power; its formidable defense is like cheating against ordinary ninjas.
Even with the Super Big Ball Rasengan infused with Sage Chakra, Jiraiya only managed to disrupt the blood-red blade, which quickly reformed momentarily.
Facing Uchiha Jin, capable of summoning such a powerful Susanoo, Jiraiya felt that continuous powerful Sage Arts might be the only way to defeat him.
However…
Seeing Jin still composed and unphased and sensing his own dwindling Sage Chakra, a hint of retreat formed in Jiraiya’s heart.
