Chapter 277 Sage Mode, obtained!
Kitahara Kaede had no idea that this video would cause such a huge shock to everyone; to him, it was just a routine diary entry.
As his strength grew, he became more and more adept at integrating the rewards from the system into his own power, and Kitahara Kaede could feel himself becoming significantly more at peace.
With his current strength, even if Pain were to invade Konoha now, he wouldn't be without the power to fight back, and he could even take his mother, Kitahara Yoshiko, and leave.
At this moment, Kitahara Kaede looked at the semi-transparent roulette wheel in front of him. As the wheel spun, a series of selectable rewards appeared on it.
"stop!"
When he shouted "Stop!", the hands of the clock immediately stopped in front of Kitahara Kaede.
"Sage Mode from Beginner to Expert!"
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light flew out from the roulette wheel and entered Kitahara Kaede's mind.
A moment later, Kitahara Kaede finally opened his eyes, and a lot of information about Sage Mode appeared in his mind.
"It's not even the Immortal Mode of the Three Great Holy Lands yet."
Kitahara Kaede grinned. Of course, he had been craving Sage Mode for a long time. The Sage Mode of the three holy lands was all the Sage Mode Kitahara Kaede knew before. Orochimaru's cursed seal could be considered a degraded version of Sage Mode.
However, the immortal forms of the three holy lands all have one problem: they may not have been created for humans in the first place. So, they not only risk being petrified, but may also turn into toads, snakes, slugs, or any other strange and inhuman creatures.
In order to succeed in cultivation, one must also use the special products of different holy sites.
However, the Sage Mode in Kitahara Kaede's mind now seems to have stripped away all these extraneous elements, making it a purer Sage Mode, containing all the essentials of sensing natural energy, absorbing and refining it, and fusing it into Sage Chakra.
Moreover, it was significantly simpler than what he saw in the anime when Naruto Uzumaki was practicing Sage Mode.
Perhaps it's because it's originally the Sage Art training system of Mount Myōboku, which was designed for toads from the beginning, not for humans. Humans, in order to cultivate the Sage Art of Mount Myōboku, basically have to do all sorts of tedious work.
This is also closely related to the fact that Jiraiya needed a long time to prepare before he could enter Sage Mode.
Kitahara Kaede, of course, doesn't need any of that. Once he's practiced enough, he can instantly enter Sage Mode.
And you don't have to worry about turning into a toad or a snake!
Of course, another problem with Sage Mode is that it can be invaded by natural energy and turn into a stone man.
Even Pain, the Six Paths of Pain, would turn to stone because he couldn't absorb enough natural energy.
With a detailed cultivation guide, the level of danger was undoubtedly reduced to a minimum, and even Kitahara Kaede could begin cultivating.
Having just completed an S-rank mission and been promoted to Special Jonin, the village gave him a short vacation. Ninjas of his rank already have considerable autonomy.
Apart from a few assigned tasks, he could easily avoid taking on too many missions.
Kitahara Kaede immediately sat down cross-legged. In order not to be disturbed, he simply set up a barrier around the house. After all, cultivating Sage Mode is no joke. If he is not careful, he may be petrified.
The first step is to sense the existence of natural energy between heaven and earth.
Following the instructions of the Sage Mode training method, Kitahara Kaede did not faintly sense the presence of natural energy until the morning of the next day.
This speed isn't slow; in fact, it's quite fast.
Kitahara Kaede wasn't particularly dissatisfied, after all, this was in Konoha Village, not a place with abundant natural energy like the three holy lands, so the cultivation speed was naturally very slow.
"Natural energy? Isn't there a rainbow ice wall in the Land of Snow? Isn't that a place with abundant natural energy?" Kitahara Kaede suddenly remembered that when he completed the Snow Princess Ninja Scroll mission, he had felt a different kind of energy in the Land of Snow, and the location was at that rainbow ice wall.
At that time, he did not have the cultivation method of Sage Mode, and could only sense that there was a rich energy there. As for what kind of energy it was, he did not know. He guessed that it might be some kind of natural energy.
But that's just speculation.
Because he knew that the ninja world had its own training system, and Sage Mode was one of the more prominent ones. The reason it was considered prominent was that there were more than one person in the original work who had trained in Sage Mode.
However, the difficulty of training Sage Mode is far greater than that of the chakra system. Otherwise, everyone in the ninja world would have already trained in Sage Mode instead of following the chakra system, which is an external energy system.
Their chakra system can train hundreds of thousands of ninjas, while the Sage Mode of the same period only had one or two successors each generation. That's the difference.
The reason it hasn't been cut off is because the three holy land masters are still alive.
However, Sage Mode also has its advantages, namely, it is truly powerful and its boost to combat strength is undeniable.
Ordinary people don't have many good ways to deal with Pain, but when facing Naruto Uzumaki in Sage Mode, he can take down an opponent with a single punch.
Pain was the most troublesome opponent; the others were no match for Naruto in Sage Mode.
With this in mind, Kitahara Kaede decided to head to the Land of Snow to train in Sage Mode.
Anyway, he still has plenty of time ahead. After completing the S-level mission, he will have a month's vacation. With his current level, it would be easy for him to extend it further, depending on his own needs.
Special Jonin have already stepped into the upper echelons of the village and have some minor privileges.
Kitahara Kaede simply announced that he would be going into seclusion for a period of time and would not see anyone.
He himself used the Flying Thunder God technique and, in no time, used the Flying Thunder God marks left along the way to arrive in the Snow Country at an extremely fast speed.
The Ninja World Continent is too vast. Even with Kitahara Kaede's current strength, he cannot directly leap from the center of the continent to the Land of Snow in the north.
When Kitahara Kaede suddenly appeared in the Daimyo's mansion, Kazeka Koyuki was also startled.
Kitahara Kaede's arrival was so sudden that even the snow ninjas stationed outside didn't notice.
After Kazahana Koyuki ascended to the throne, Yukigami Village also sent people to serve as guardian ninjas.
The leader also possessed the strength of an ordinary Jonin. In Konoha, such strength was nothing special, but in a remote and impoverished village like Yuki-gakure in the Land of Snow, he was already considered a formidable figure.
