Chapter 86: Former Comrades

"Of course, Master Fukasaku."

"Only by practicing the Sage Mode to the ultimate perfection can I effectively help deal with the Nine-Tails in my body..."

While slowly dispersing the Sage Chakra, the orange eye shadow near Minato Namikaze's eyes also began to fade.

The feeling of power disappearing rapidly made the body a little uncomfortable, so he simply fell back casually and sat on the ground to rest.

Although Minato Namikaze was a little tired between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but yearn for the extreme state of the Sage Mode.

"This is not an easy thing."

It seemed that he didn't expect Minato Namikaze's goal to be so high. Sage Fukasaku's expression could not help but increase a little more admiration, touching his chin and sighing: "To be honest, among the practitioners of Naegi Mountain in thousands of years, no one has ever reached the extreme state of the Sage."

While speaking, it couldn't help but sweep its eyes to the large group of frog fossils nearby.

Those stone frog statues are all the failures of practicing immortal arts for thousands of years. They stay here forever, hoping to witness the success of the future.

Minato Namikaze's achievements at this time have actually exceeded the scope of the perfect immortal mode.

In common sense, the perfect immortal mode is only an entry-level performance for the means of applying natural energy.

There are also different differences in the same perfect immortal mode. The length of time it lasts and the amount of immortal chakra condensed.

And those who can condense all the chakra in an instant and disappear until it is exhausted can be called the extreme realm of immortals.

The only person who can reach this realm of immortal mode below the Six Paths level is probably Hashirama Senju.

Of course, his immortal arts are obviously not from Myoboku Mountain.

After nearly a month of concentrated practice, Minato Namikaze is now able to complete the condensation of immortal chakra within five seconds.

Compared with his previous half-baked immortal mode, there is a world of difference.

I believe that even Naruto, who participated in the Fourth Ninja World War, could not match his use of sage chakra.

But even so, it was still not enough.

Minato Namikaze wanted to be faster

Because he had to cooperate with Flying Thunder God to fight, all the ninjutsu used could not be dragged.

"I wonder what expression Jiraiya would have if he knew that his apprentice had surpassed the level of perfect sage mode."

Fukasaku Sage may have remembered the scene when he complained about Jiraiya every time, and couldn't help but smile, and then said: "But if Minato can really reach the extreme level of sage, I'm afraid the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage will come true on you..."

Perhaps, in the eyes of Fukasaku Sage, the genius among humans, no matter how talented they are, can never surpass the blond man in front of him.

Looking at Fukasaku Sage's tense face, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but want to laugh.

The prophecy that Jiraiya got from the Great Toad Sage is basically known to everyone. But as a time traveler, Minato Namikaze knew exactly who the child of prophecy in the original work was talking about.

Now, this hat is suddenly put on his head, and for those who are familiar with the plot, it is impossible not to laugh.

"It is said that the predictions of the great toad sage have never been wrong, but maybe there will be deviations this time."

Minato Namikaze sighed meaningfully, and when the sage Fukasaku cast a puzzled look, he changed the subject: "By the way, Master Fukasaku came here, is there something urgent for me?"

Minato Namikaze has been practicing alone during this period.

Unlike the original work where Naruto needs to be knocked by Fukasaku and placed to become a toad, it is impossible for Minato Namikaze, who uses natural energy purely, to have such a situation, so he does not need someone to assist him.

"I almost forgot, the child's mother came back from outside today. She heard that Minato came to our Myoboku Mountain to practice, and she insisted on making a good meal for you."

"I came here to ask you to eat."

Fukasaku smiled kindly, full of expectations for the sumptuous meal made by Shima.

For visitors to Myoboku Mountain, only distinguished people have the opportunity to eat the specialties made by Shima, one of the two great immortals.

However, although Fukasaku's praise for Shima's food was highly praised, Minato Namikaze's face changed when he heard it.

"No need, Master Fukasaku."

Minato Namikaze hurriedly refused, and then at the fastest speed, he took the simple lunch box he brought to Myoboku Mountain every day from a distance, "Thank you very much for Master Shima's kindness, I have brought my own food."

As he said, in order to confirm this, he opened the package and revealed the rice balls inside.

While smiling falsely on his face, he had already complained in his heart: I really don’t want to experience that insect dish a second time

What is Shima’s sumptuous dish? Anyone who has experienced it once will definitely have a very deep impression.

Since the first day he decided to go to Myoboku Mountain, in order to deal with this situation, he prepared his own food every day in case of an emergency.

Unexpectedly, it finally came in handy today

“Really not? The kid’s mother’s cooking skills are the best in Myoboku Mountain. I remember you ate it very cleanly the first time.”

“It should be very suitable for your taste, right?”

Fukasaku obviously didn’t think that Namikaze Minato might not like Shima’s insect dish.

Ugh.

It would have been better if Fukasaku hadn't said anything. When talking about the first time he came to Myoboku Mountain, Minato Namikaze recalled the scene where he had eaten Shima's insect dishes because of his honesty.

The taste of eating live insects raw is simply a nightmare.

Although that was the experience of the former Minato Namikaze before the time travel, the unforgettable taste has been engraved in his body.

After repeated rejections, the Immortal Fukasaku finally gave up the invitation and left in confusion.

After a sigh of relief, Minato Namikaze simply ate the rice balls, rested for a while, and then continued to practice in the afternoon.

…

At dusk, Minato Namikaze, who had packed up in advance, turned into smoke as expected and was summoned back by the toad rhino in Konoha.

Seeing the arrival of the real body, the shadow clone Minato nodded and disappeared.

A peaceful day, as usual, was about to pass.

But just before leaving get off work, two familiar faces came to the office for Minato Namikaze.

Both ninjas were at the level of Jonin.

One of them was slightly fat, wearing gray armor with a food pattern, and the other was tall and thin with dark circles under his eyes. Both were middle-aged. When they saw Minato Namikaze, they first flashed a glimmer of joy in their eyes, but then quickly returned to their seriousness.

They bowed slightly and said in unison, "Hokage-sama"
