Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　A large, seemingly ancient toad lay there, looking remarkably like the kind of... well, you know... of later generations.

　After taking a sip of tea, the giant toad immortal exhaled a breath of hot air.

　"It's finally here. Now the scenes I saw before match up."

　Those scenes

　Recalling the scenes and images he had witnessed, the giant toad immortal's narrowed eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of apprehension.

　"Judging from those images, the best course of action is to avoid getting involved with him. Future wars will also have nothing to do with Mount Myōboku."

　In his recent precognitive dream, Gamamaru not only saw Kaguya Otsutsuki again, but also Yoru! It was a battlefield, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, countless ninjas dead, a blood moon hanging in the sky, filled with ominousness! Yoru's appearance at Mount Myōboku, in Gamamaru's eyes, meant that the wheel of fate had begun to turn.

　Then the dream of the future will surely come true! Gamamaru is old, and his wish is simple: that Mount Myōboku will exist forever.

　Ye Chen is incredibly powerful, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe! Gamamaru, due to his precognitive dreams, avoids danger and doesn't harbor any hostility towards Ye Chen; they can simply coexist peacefully.

　In the original work, besides living a long life, Gamamaru also passed on his immortal techniques.

　In reality, it didn't make any significant contribution to the ninja world, after all, it wasn't human.

　You can't expect a toad to save the world! The reason they joined forces with Hamura Otsutsuki and Hagoromo sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't essentially because they loved any life in this world.

　Rather, it's because the divine tree absorbs the power of the earth and the power of origin.

　After the earth's power is completely drained, not only will life on the surface of the world perish, but the world of summoned beasts will also be affected, ultimately leading to its destruction.

　It was only under such a perverse cause-and-effect relationship that it stood up and retaliated! The Naruto world is jokingly called the story of Black Zetsu saving his mother, but from another perspective, isn't it also the story of Gamabunta's revenge? Gamabunta, in order to maintain stability in the underworld, turned Kaguya Otsutsuki and her sons against each other, ultimately leading to mother and sons killing each other, successfully sealing away his closest relatives.

　The toad sage now only cares about protecting the peace of Mount Myōboku; he doesn't concern himself with anything else.

　Under the command of the Great Toad Sage, all toads were forbidden from interfering with Ye Chen, allowing him free access to Mount Myōboku.

　Ye Chen then ventured deeper into Mount Myōboku from its outer perimeter, into a very familiar scene.

　All around were towering toad statues, seemingly sculpted, but actually the petrified remains of toads that failed to achieve Sage Mode.

　In front of these stone statues, there is a small waterfall.

　The waterfall doesn't flow with water, but with oil. This oil helps absorb natural energy; simply apply it to your body, and this natural energy will actively flow into your body.

　Its function is similar to that of Fairy Lake in Shikkotsu Forest! Below the waterfall is a pool, and inside the pool is that... special oil. In the center of the pool, there is a toad sculpture, with the same oil flowing from its mouth.

　It is precisely because of the presence of these oils that this location is practically the place with the most concentrated natural energy in the entire Mount Myōboku! Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki both trained here in the original story! "This is the kind of... special oil from the original story. It doesn't look particularly special, so why does it attract natural energy? But it's useless to me."

　Reaching the edge of the pool, Ye Chen couldn't resist reaching out and gently scooping something up from the water.

　With this scoop, Ye Chen's hands were instantly covered in...

　(1/3)

　It was oily and looked greasy; he frowned.

　"Lord Yechen, this oil must have been formed from minerals accumulated underground over many years."

　The little slug on my shoulder offered an explanation.

　"ore"

　Ye Chen muttered to himself

　Over millions of years, certain substances underground undergo mutations, becoming: very special.

　For example, stalactites and ancient fossils contain extraordinary energy.

　For example, just like Sun Wukong, the stone monkey in Journey to the West, before his birth, he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, making him a massive energy aggregate that cannot be ignored.

　Over time, quantitative change eventually leads to qualitative change! The underground elixir of Mount Myōboku is such a thing! However, it shouldn't be inexhaustible! "Yechen, what are you doing here?"

　Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya walked over together, and Jiraiya couldn't help but ask...

　He only found out later that Ye Chen was the intruder the toad had mentioned, and he burst into laughter! What a huge misunderstanding! "The slug brought me here!"

　Ye Chen glanced back at Jiraiya and said calmly.

　"slug"

　"You signed a contract."

　"Did Tsunade make you sign it?"

　Jiraiya asked three questions in a row

　"Yes, but the Senju clan has no records of the exact location of Shikkotsu Forest, so they came here using the Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique."

　Ye Chen said

　"Reverse spirit communication technique, how amazing!"

　Minato Namikaze showed admiration; he wouldn't dare use such a ninjutsu himself because the risk was too great.

　"So, Tsunade is here too. She couldn't possibly have let you come to Shikkotsu Forest alone."

　Jiraiya said

　"Um

　Tsunade is training in Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest!

　Ye Chen said

　"What! Tsunade has mastered Sage Mode! Oh my god! We're doomed!"

　"Tsunade is already this strong even without practicing Sage Mode; if she were to complete it, her strength would be absolutely heaven-defying."

　Jiraiya said with a bitter face

　He said this mainly because he was afraid of being beaten up by Tsunade, who was skilled in Sage Mode! "Jiraiya-sensei, calm down!"

　Minato Namikaze comforted him

　"Didn't you go to the surrounding world? Why are you training at Mount Myōboku?"

　Ye Chen asked

　Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's expression changed, and he replied, "I had originally decided to leave, but now I don't know when I'll be back."

　Minato is my student, so I have to be responsible for him. That's why I brought him here to train in Sage Mode for a while.

　I left when he was almost ready to cultivate independently.

　"Teacher, you can go in peace now."

　Actually, I don't necessarily need to learn magic; the casting speed of this technique is too slow.

　Minato Namikaze rarely makes a sarcastic remark.

　No, you must learn.

　This is the legacy of our lineage, and Sage Techniques can transform a ninja's various qualities.

　Jiraiya said seriously

　波风

　(2/3)

　Minato looked helpless. The last time he looked at the Book of Seals, he found a forbidden technique that was very suitable for him.

　The Second Hokage created the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it was incomplete! He originally intended to perfect this ninjutsu himself, but not long after, Jiraiya dragged him to Mount Myōboku.

　Ye Chen looked at Minato Namikaze; it seemed this guy only used Sage Mode once in the original story.

　After all, he's a speed expert, so learning magic definitely takes a lot of time.

Chapter 350 The Age Spots Are Getting Trouble

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　"Lord Madara, Yoruichi has disappeared from Konoha."

　Within the Land of Fire, in an uninhabited underground cave...

　Black and White Zetsu stood before Old Man Madara, reporting on their recent reconnaissance of the ninja world.

　The man with the age spot hesitated for a moment, a profound light flashing in his eyes. He raised his head and said, "In that case, we can begin."

　Madara originally planned to secretly control Kirigakure in the Land of Water, but he couldn't stop thinking about Yoru! So he changed his plans and came to the Land of Fire again! He really wanted Yoru to be used by him, to become a pawn in his resurrection! However, Yoru's certain traits were very similar to his own, and he knew that recruiting such a being was almost impossible.

　But he is Madara Uchiha; if he wants to do something, he's willing to spend as much time as it takes.

　Moreover, Konoha wasn't all that virtuous in his eyes; everyone has weaknesses! Once he broke through that person's defenses, subduing them would be a piece of cake! His time was indeed running out! But paying a price would allow him to live a little longer.

　Konoha hasn't been back for a long time! Mount Myōboku

　The waterfall cascaded down, and the toad oil flowing continuously in the pool, while Ye Chen sat motionless on the edge of the pool with his eyes closed.

　The abundant natural energy, like a whirlwind, transformed into a terrifying vortex, and Ye Chen was at the very center of that vortex, continuously absorbing the natural energy.

　This terrifying vortex could even be sensed throughout the entire Mount Myōboku.

　"It's been almost three months, and I've never seen a human cultivate like this before."

　Several toads, watching from afar, whispered amongst themselves, but none dared to disturb them; they simply observed from a distance.

　Fukasaku and Shima often came to visit Yotsuki.

　They were astonished by Ye Chen's cultivation! Such immense natural power was terrifying! Ye Chen, unaware of the outside world, had remained seated cross-legged for nearly three months.
