Fukasaku didn't quite understand Naruto's thought process, only telling Naruto to put down the stone statue, and then...
"Awoo~"
Naruto took another solid hit with the staff, the pain of which he couldn't get used to at all.
"Little Naruto, you've done very well in this stage. Next, you need to absorb natural energy yourself without relying on Toad Oil."
"Okay!"
"Then the first thing to practice is staying still. Follow me!"
Naruto followed Fukasaku to a place filled with stone mountains, each one like an enlarged thorn, slender and sharp.
Isn't this something called karst topography? Naruto pondered, his geography wasn't very good.
Fukasaku used his tongue to roll up a stone slab piled at the foot of a mountain and climbed up, signaling Naruto to follow.
Naruto had seen in the anime that the next training involved placing a stone slab on top of the spikes and then sitting on the slab, having to remain completely still.
As long as you lose focus even a little, you will fall off.
Naruto tapped the stone slab, feeling that although it couldn't compare to the floor tiles of Ryudoin Temple, it felt quite solid and shouldn't be killed by the spikes.
Copying Fukasaku, he climbed to the top, put down the stone slab, and sat on it, trying to maintain his balance.
A few seconds later, Naruto felt a bit of an itch on his head and wanted to scratch it, and then:
"Ah~~~" Naruto's body tilted, and he fell down with the stone slab.
"Swish," Fukasaku's tongue instantly stretched out, wrapping around Naruto's ankle, preventing him from landing headfirst, while the stone slab had shattered into pieces.
Although he was caught by Fukasaku, due to inertia, Naruto still made a small circular motion with Fukasaku's tongue as the radius, and his whole body was imprinted on the mountain wall.
Let's assume Fukasaku's tongue stretched out 5 meters long, and the angle between it and the vertical direction when catching Naruto is 45 degrees. Find the angular velocity and linear velocity of Naruto when he slaps against the mountain wall...
Fukasaku pulled Naruto back and said, "Little Naruto, you need to concentrate more."
"I know, hiss~" Naruto fell quite hard this time. After recovering, he went down to get another stone slab.
Before sitting down, Naruto thought for a while and left a Flying Thunder God mark on the top of the pillar, writing the words "Buzhou."
This is called Naruto learning Sage Mode from Fukasaku, angrily touching Mount Buzhou...
With Naruto's mind full of such messy thoughts, his Sage Mode learning wouldn't be fast.
However, after leaving the Flying Thunder God mark, if he fell again, he could just fly back before landing, without having to trouble Fukasaku to take him bungee jumping again.
If he could grab the stone slab quickly, he could also help Mount Myoboku reduce a little consumption. After all, the stone slabs are limited, and Naruto felt that he needed to comprehensively coordinate sustainable cultivation.
Thus, Naruto not only learned Sage Mode but also increased the proficiency of his Flying Thunder God and trained his reaction speed, achieving three goals at once.
It was just that his flying back and forth made Fukasaku a little headache.
Little Minato was quite a smart and quiet child, how come his son is so jumpy.
...
After a day of diligent training, Naruto finally lay down on his small bed, but before going to sleep, Naruto still planned to discuss something with the Nine Tails.
Naruto flipped down from Nine Tails' back, sat in front of him, and said, "Big Fox, why don't you learn Sage Mode too?"
Nine Tails looked at him, "Why should I learn such a thing?"
Naruto's eyes darted around, and he said, "You're just idle anyway..."
"Not interested." Nine Tails was immune to Chinese-style persuasion.
Naruto had to change his approach and asked, "Don't you want to get stronger?"
"I'm strong enough." I can beat eight of them, how much stronger do I need to be?
Naruto stared at him without speaking. If you were strong enough, you wouldn't be here today, but saying that would hurt the fox's pride, so he had to approach it from another angle: "Would you like to co-rent with a Toad?"
Nine Tails stared into Naruto's eyes: "What do you mean?"
Naruto patiently explained, "If you want to use Sage Mode in a truly complete way in battle, you need to cooperate with Fukasaku, let him stand on my shoulder and use Sage Art: Twin Transformation. Then you'll be co-renting with him."
"Impossible!" Nine Tails stood up and said, "Minato didn't use Toads before, did he?"
Naruto argued plausibly, "That's why he could only maintain it for a few minutes. Basically, he'd run out of power after using two big moves. You can't solve a fight with a real powerhouse in just a few minutes, can you?"
Nine Tails complained, "Isn't my Chakra enough for you? Why do you have to learn from Toads?"
Naruto coaxed him like a child, "Don't say that. The Sage of Six Paths also learned from the Great Toad Sage back then. We can learn it too, it won't lower our status."
Nine Tails stopped talking. From Naruto's understanding of him, this should be considered agreement. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about endurance issues in the future. The single Nine Tails Chakra Mode couldn't compare to the Sage Fox Mode.
Naruto happily prepared to go to sleep, then felt a little depressed again. Logically speaking, the Great Toad Sage should be seeing me soon, right? I've been messing around on Mount Myoboku for so long without any reaction. Do I have so little clout?
...
The next day, Naruto went to the training ground to gather as usual. Unexpectedly, Kakashi arrived before they even finished their warm-up exercises.
"Don't move!" Naruto shouted, "Group A password, who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"
Kakashi rolled his Byakugan at him and said helplessly, "SpongeBob."
Naruto nodded to Sasuke and Sakura with a serious expression, saying, "Looks like it's not an imposter."
Sasuke and Sakura turned their heads away. We don't know this person.
Kakashi said, "Can't you just sense the Chakra? Why do you have to come up with these weird passwords? And I don't always arrive late, do I? Do you have to suspect me just because I'm a little early?"
What do you know? Chakra can be faked. Naruto glanced at him with disdain and said, "It's more ceremonial this way."
Yes, Naruto had customized several sets of passwords for Team 7, and even thought of codenames for when they were out and about: Kakarot, Vegeta, Bulma, and... Sakata Gintoki.
Sasuke didn't think it was necessary, but he was used to Naruto's antics. Remembering a few passwords was just like humoring him.
Sakura didn't say anything since Sasuke didn't object.
Kakashi didn't want to cooperate at first, but Naruto threatened to bring Kushina to ransack his house. Kakashi thought of those collector's editions at home...
Ahem, it's not that I, Kakashi, am afraid of anyone's threats, but I just think that as a ninja, I should maintain the necessary vigilance, so passwords are very important.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Go back and pack up, we have a mission to go to the border."
Naruto casually asked, "What rank?"
"C-Rank Mission."
