Chapter 506 Four-tailed hook
"Okay, that's fine."
"Now that you have the ability to use Sage Mode, you don't need to worry about the promotion of Sage Mode in Konoha this time. Just do your job as Tsuchikage. Leave these things to me."
Onoki waved his hand, taking full responsibility for the matter.
Onoki did not delve into the unique immortal techniques that Kurotsuchi possessed, nor did he intend to share or promote them.
Not everything is suitable for promotion.
Promoting magical arts is clearly more beneficial than harmful.
As for other things, such as his Dust Release technique, even if there were a way to make everyone learn it, it wouldn't be suitable for widespread adoption.
If this is promoted, it will only turn what used to be minor skirmishes into life-or-death situations.
Furthermore, no matter how many people master Dust Release, it won't pose much of a threat to the Otsutsuki clan. However, if the Otsutsuki clan were to master Dust Release, the threat to the ninja world would be much greater.
Of course, according to the information provided by Amegakure, the Otsutsuki clan is a race that completely prioritizes bloodline. All their abilities come from their bloodline, so they are naturally uninterested in "learning".
Not to mention learning ninjutsu developed by ninjas in the ninja world, whom they consider inferior beings.
Even so, there's always a chance of something going wrong.
Therefore, Onoki wouldn't suddenly have a burst of saintly compassion, thinking of universal harmony, and reveal all his secret ninjutsu techniques.
Kurotsuchi was quite pleased to see that Onoki had taken on the troublesome matter.
This matter had nothing to do with her in the first place, and it was troublesome and somewhat disgusting.
It would be best to have the old man supervise the whole process.
And so, the Sage Mode training campaign in Iwagakure Village also began in earnest.
Onoki, Akatsuchi, and Yotsuchi began their training in Sage Mode.
The three of them were very serious and engaged.
However, Onoki, who was originally considered the most promising, is actually the one with the slowest progress.
The reason is also very simple.
Slow phone startup or inability to power on is completely different from short standby time after startup and frequent battery depletion.
Jiraiya has an advantage in this regard because he can power on normally and quickly, but his standby time is short. He can power off very quickly after powering on, thus quickly entering Sage Mode.
But Onoki is different.
He was half a round bigger than Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had already died.
Although Onoki has a short standby time, it is also slow and difficult to boot up, which means it still takes a lot of time.
Furthermore, Onoki has a bad back, and he can easily twist his back if he makes large movements.
"Oonoki, you old bastard, get out here!"
Ōnoki was trying to train again in his room when suddenly Rōshi shouted from outside.
This scared Onoki, who was about to boot up, so much so that the boot process failed.
Before he could reply, Onoki quickly straightened his clothes.
As expected, his actions were correct.
After realizing that he didn't reply immediately, Lao Zi barged in, leaped to the second floor, jumped in from the balcony, and found Onoki.
Onoki was glad he reacted in time, otherwise he would definitely have been discovered by Ooshi.
"Oonoki, you really were secretly training on your own. I misjudged you; I didn't expect you to be so petty!"
Old Purple looked at Ōnoki and revealed a disappointed expression.
"Huh? Old Zi, what are you talking about?"
Onoki looked somewhat confused.
"Still pretending? Were you just practicing Sage Mode?"
Old Purple crossed his arms and looked coldly at Onoki.
How did you know?
Onoki was stunned.
This matter was clearly known only to him, Black Soil, Red Soil, and Yellow Soil.
He also specifically instructed the group to keep it a secret and not to mention it to anyone else in the village until one of them mastered the magic.
How did Lao Zi know that?
Could it be that those people from Konoha said it?
"Hmph, of course it was the Four-Tails who told me—Onoki, don't change the subject. Why did you deliberately hide such a good thing as cultivating Sage Mode from me?"
Old Purple snorted coldly and continued to question Onoki.
"Four tails?"
Onoki felt confused. How did Yotsuba know about this?
However, this is not the time to dwell on these issues. If we don't appease Lao Zi soon, their relationship will collapse again.
"Old Zi, calm down and listen to me. Since you know about this from the Four-Tails, you should also know what it takes to cultivate immortal techniques."
If I told you about this and asked you to cultivate with me, what would you think? Would you feel that I was insulting you?
That's why I didn't inform you; I just brought red soil and yellow soil.
"Once we've successfully cultivated, we'll come looking for you again, and then you'll believe us, won't you?"
"Ohnoki said with a sigh."
"So that's how it is. Your consideration is good. My reputation, Old Zi, really cannot be ruined. Here's what we'll do: give me a copy of the cultivation manual, and I'll leave the village and find a quiet place to cultivate alone, just like before."
With the immense chakra of the tailed beasts, the natural energy they can control must be terrifying.
Until I truly need to intervene, you must remain silent and not reveal to anyone that I am cultivating Sage Mode, okay?
After thinking for a moment, Lao Zi offered a suggestion.
—Actually, Onoki was right. It was the people of Konoha who told Rōshi about this. Rōshi said that the Four-Tails told him, but that was just a casual excuse. Anyway, Onoki had no way to verify it with the Four-Tails.
Actually, this is what Naruto told him.
After Naruto arrived in Iwagakure, in addition to spreading the Sage Mode training method in the main quest, he did not forget his side quests.
That is, to collect the power of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails.
He has nine tailed beasts inside him, only missing the four-tailed and five-tailed beasts from Iwagakure.
So Naruto went to visit Roshi, as a Jinchuriki.
You know what, Naruto's appearance actually helped ease the tension between the Four-Tails and Roshi, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts.
After talking with the other tailed beasts inside Naruto, the Four-Tails learned that Naruto was actually the reincarnation of Ashura, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, and the one who was prophesied to bring happiness to the tailed beasts. The Four-Tails naturally agreed and voluntarily gave up a part of its body.
Even Lao Zi looks much more pleasing to the eye now.
However, what the Four-Tails didn't know was that because it was absent from the "First Tailed Beast Conference," it and the Five-Tails had already been ruthlessly defined as sacrifices by the other Tailed Beasts.
The other tailed beasts didn't mention the Great Toad Sage's prophecy to the Four-Tails at all, and even went so far as to embellish the original prophecy of "the blue-eyed boy calling out the names of nine wild beasts."
They said they would bring happiness to the tailed beasts to lure the Four-Tails into their trap.
After confirming that the Four-Tailed Beast had taken the bait, the other tailed beasts sensed it and immediately felt much better.
On the other side, Yukito, who had made a dinner appointment with Bai Mo, also sensed the two-tailed beast's joy and smiled.
Don't blame your brothers and sisters for being inhuman. Four-Tails, you're a monkey, and monkeys are the most human-like, so you're the most suitable match for Naruto.
