Hokage's Strongest Insect Master

Chapter 223 Sage Mode, practice begins! (Please subscribe!)

Immortal body art, the Sage Art of the mantis family specializing in body art.

It sounds very compelling, but in one sentence, it is actually the Sage Mode.

Unlike Mount Myōboku, Mount Myōboku’s Sage Mode is still based on ninjutsu.

Although there are still physical skills like the frog hand, and the body has been strengthened to a certain extent, the main thing is to use natural energy to cause the qualitative change of ninjutsu.

Zhizhen instantly understood the difference between the two places, but he said: “This is a matter of how to use it. I don’t have to use natural energy to strengthen physical skills. It can still be used to perform ninjutsu.”

“Theoretically, you can, but then, you can’t learn Sage Art of my clan.” Ichitosai nodded and said the shortcomings of Zhizhen’s idea: “In that case, you have to develop your own fairy art. We can’t Guided you.”

Zhizhen nodded when he heard the words, he was thinking about this question too.

To be honest, Zhizhen still wanted to learn the Immortal Body Art of the Mantis clan.

After months of hard work, although his strength has been greatly increased, his physical skills are still his shortcomings.

Now, his ninjutsu is still good, plus the insect control technique, it is not weak in the technique.

Illusion… not to mention it for now.

Compared with ninjutsu, physique grows more slowly.

If he could learn the immortal body art of the praying mantis clan, it would just make up for the lack of physical art, which made Zhizhen very tempted.

It’s just that Ichitosai said that he can’t use it now, which makes Zhizhen a little bit distressed.

Without Yidaozhai’s explanation, Zhizhen also guessed that their Sage Art didn’t require the slightest physical requirement based on the three words of Immortal Body Art.

After thinking for a while, Zhizhen asked, “That’s it…How good is your physical fitness required for your Immortal Body Art?”

“How good? Hmm…” Hearing this question, Ichitozai thought about it, but shook his head: “It’s hard to say that our race is not the same as human beings, and the body is inherently stronger than human beings. Our standards, It cannot be used as a reference.”

“Moreover, there are not many ninjas who practiced our Sage Mode, and there are not many related records… So sorry, I can’t give a standard answer.” Ichitosai said sincerely.

“Yeah.” Zhizhen smiled and waved his hand. He said, “Yes, our two species are different, everything is different. Your standards really don’t suit me, I didn’t expect it.”

After a pause, Zhizhen asked, “But you said that not many people practice your Sage Mode, why is this?”

“My clan hasn’t signed a contract with humans for a long time, and in the past, I heard from the great immortal that there were not many people who practiced, and there were fewer people who successfully practiced.” Ichitozai thought for a while: “After thousands of years, people who have practiced successfully. There are less than ten people.”

“Less than ten?” Zhizhen exclaimed, “How difficult is it to practice?”

When Zhizhen heard this, he immediately remembered the stone toads of Mount Myōboku, all of which were ninjas who failed to practice Sage Mode. There were so many of them there were thousands of them.

It can be seen how difficult it is to practice Sage Mode.

For someone with a slightly weaker mind, seeing so many “dead people”, it is estimated that they have been scared before practicing.

Fortunately, Naruto was not afraid of the heavens and was not afraid, and under the pressure abruptly, he developed a Sage Mode that is more perfect than Jiraiya.

It’s really amazing.

“This is only one aspect. Another reason is that our contractors are not as many as the three sacred sites.” Ichitosai fiddled with the flames: “Although Juyegu has a history of thousands of years, the background of the three sacred sites is far greater than ours. Deep, they have existed for too long…”

Zhizhen nodded, and he didn’t get more entangled in this issue. To him, it doesn’t matter if the holy place is not holy place anymore.

“What are the consequences of failure in practice?” Zhizhen asked.

“The body will explode.” Yi Dao Zhai said in a calm tone.

“Hi…” Zhizhen was speechless, and was speechless for a while. The failure of this mantis family to practice Sage Mode was far more bloody than Mount Myōboku.

Seeing Zhizhen’s appearance, Ichitozai thought that Zhizhen was scared, and said, “It’s not just my clan, but the Sage Mode of the entire Summoning world has failed, and the end will not be good.”

“Mount Myōboku turns into a stone toad, Ryūchi Cave will grow snake scales to cover the whole body, and the wet bone forest will melt directly… The knife bee family will turn into honey, the dream butterfly family will turn into idiots, the dragon ant family and Mount Myōboku The same, it is also petrified, but turned into stone…”

Zhizhen looked dumbfounded when he heard the words, he opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

“So, Zhizhen, if you want to practice Sage Mode, you must be conscious of death.” Ichitosai said.

Zhizhen was silent when he heard this, and after a while, gritted his teeth and said, “I still want to learn.”

Ichitozai looked at Zhizhen when he heard the words, and smiled: “Very well, the first prerequisite for practicing Sage Mode is not to lose courage.”

Hearing this, Zhizhen sighed secretly. Although he has not lost his courage now, he is still very nervous.

When he first came to the Hokage world, Zhizhen was thinking about Sage Mode. Knowing what would happen to practice failure, Zhizhen felt that he would not be afraid.

But at this juncture, he became nervous.

It’s not to blame him, anyone who practices Sage Mode will be nervous.

After all, this is something that you will die if you fail.

“I have no choice, for the future, I must learn!” Zhizhen said seriously.

Yidaozhai heard the words and smiled and said, “Tomorrow we will go to see the immortal, with his help, you will be much better.”

“How do you tell?” Zhizhen asked.

“It’s the founder.” Yidaozhai said.

Zhizhen suddenly nodded and agreed.

“Okay, then rest early today, and tomorrow we will go to see the immortal in the morning.”

…

After dinner, Zhizhen’s mind was full of cultivating Sage Mode, and he couldn’t fall asleep over and over again.

In addition, he slept all afternoon, and he was full of energy at the moment.

Not surprisingly, he lost sleep again.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Yidaozhai came to look for him.

Zhizhen didn’t delay, and didn’t talk about insomnia. After having breakfast with Yidaozhai, he went down to the land of Wangshu under the leadership of Yidaozhai.

When he was two children, Zhizhen went to the big fairy’s room.

“Daxian, I’m here again!” Zhizhen said hello with a smile.

The Great Immortal Mantis had already anticipated Zhizhen’s origins. He smiled and said, “You don’t need to be so anxious.”

Zhizhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then shook his head: “I will become stronger one day earlier, and I will know it sooner. And I don’t have much time in Juyegu, at most one month, I will rush back to Konoha.”

“Really?” The Great Immortal Mantis asked in a calm tone, “Why?”

“It will be the Chūnin exam in a month. There will be many ninjas from outside the village. You also know that the Ninja world is not peaceful now. In order to protect Konoha, I must go back.” Zhizhen gave the reason.

“I understand.” The mantis said, “So, starting today, I will pass on the Sage Mode of your family.”

“Thank you!” Zhizhen smiled and sat down cross-legged, “Thank you!”

“Then the first step, take off your clothes.” Daxian said.

Zhizhen was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he didn’t hesitate. He remembered that Naruto’s Sage Mode practice was also the same step, “All off?”

“Just take off your shirt!”

“Okay!” Zhizhen didn’t hesitate, took off the worm pot, and took off his coat in twos or twos.

Then he sat naked in front of the immortal, waiting for the immortal’s next instructions.

“What should I do next?” Zhizhen asked.

The immortal smiled and said: “The first step in practicing Sage Mode is to be able to absorb natural energy by yourself. This is true of the practice of Sage Mode in the entire Summoning world.”

“Yeah.” Zhizhen nodded.

“It’s just that the method is a little different, and you are a human being, so this step is a bit laborious for the Master, so you also need some props to assist.” Daxian said humanely.

“How to do it?” Zhizhen asked expectantly.

“Just endure it, because there will be some pain next.” Daxian said humanely.

“Ah!?” Zhizhen was immediately dumbfounded.
