56 Ch. 56 Sage Mode

( Yuto Pov )

* Few Days Later *

* Slash**clank*

Dodging another attack, I flipped from the tree and landed on another tree.

' Fire Style: Fireball jutsu'

A white flame escaped from my mouth as I targeted Suki, who dodged with incredible speed.

Stopping the jutsu, I immediately went into a defensive position. Getting ready for any attacks.

As I fought with Suki, I learned more about my strengths and weaknesses, especially the Tailed Beast, that changed some of my abilities.

Back to the fight, Suki was moving like a blur between the trees. I'm trying to keep up but failed as I felt the world spin.

I realized my back was to the ground.

Suki:" Not bad, you're improving."

She spoke as she asked out of the trees and towards me.

Suki:" Now come on, it's time to balance your chakra with senjutsu."

" Ha, alright." I got up, ignoring the claw mark on my leg.

Apparently, Suki wants me to learn Sage mode as it would increase my chance of deafening her.

Suki:" Now. Sit"

I'm sitting on a rock in the middle of a river, and Suki was sitting on a rock nearby as well.

Suki:" You know the procedure, absorb the nature energy that radiates from the river, and balance them out with your chakra, and with that, you'll be able to make Senjutsu Chakra

It's been a day already since Suki taught me this.

With Chakra manipulation and gamers system, I feel like I'll be able to learn It today.

* Splash *

The fishes were jumping up the stream, and as I controlled the Senjutsu Chakra, the more the it filled the air with the fishes jumping around.

The river is rich with natural energy. Especially the fishes as the feline here eat them on a daily basis. The fishes are sensitive to Senjutsu Chakra.

Since my Chakra volume had an increase, the same applied to nature energy to balance them within. Creating Senjutsu Chakra.

[ Sage Mode Unlocked ]

Suki:" Oh my, you're really a fast learner. Just yesterday, you almost turned into a real cub!"

As I opened my eyes, I saw my nails seem sharper, looking into the river. I saw a pair of cat ears and golden markings by my eyes and had cat pupils.

" Huh, that's neat."

Suki:" That's great. Now let's eat some fish and get back to fighting."

And just like that, we both ate some fish. Eating these fishes was able to replenish my energy.

"Alright, I think I got this."

Suki:" Confident now. very well, let's get started."

As soon as Suki finished saying that, she attacked first. Using substitution jutsu, I replaced it with a log nearby.

Standing on a tree, I used shadow clone jutsu to disperse in different areas.

Finding a place that would take suki a while to find me, I started to absorb nature energy and create Senjutsu chakra and go into Sage mode.

It took 3 minutes to turn into Sage mode, and since my senses were enhanced, I was able to spot Suki coming towards me.

Knowing she found my location, I used shadow clones to make more to attack her.

" Word Magic: Body enhancement"

In a barely audible whisper, I enhanced my body with word magic.

As my shadow clones were dispersed into smoke, I used that chance to attack her using stealth.

Suki:" Hoh? It seems your Neko Kata is improving."

She spoke as she easily dodged my attack. Imbueing Senjutsu on my claws I attacked once more but faster.

Seeing how Suki was still able to dodge, I added total concentration and transparent world. Moving faster and more precise.

For the next 15 minutes, the surrounding area was decimated as I used Breath of massacre, but with just my claws.

' Breath of Massascre'

' Fourth Form: Decimate'

As I was attacking, I noticed that the Sage mode wouldn't last any longer.

So, i activated a skill that I haven't used until now.

[Blessing of Chakra] [ Active]

[ 5 minutes of unlimited chakra]

[ Cooldown: 15 days]

* Swoosh *

Feeling the chakra in the air being absorbed and Suki managed to feel this as well. As I felt my Senjutsu Chakra increase.

Not only did it increase my chakra volume, but it also increased my Sage mode, which had white chkra flowing from my eyes and claws.

As Suki was surprised at this, she opened her third eye. Using Gamers mind to cancel it, I attacked her.

' Breath of Massacre'

' First from: Annihilation'

Suki:" Shit!!"

* Boom!!!*

' Breath of Massacre'

' Second Form: Dance of wrath'

* Shiiing* * Boom!!*

Leaving claw mark crevices on the ground, Suki barely managed to dodge.

' Breath of Massacre'

' Fourth Form: Improved decimation'

Using both claws on my hands, I sent out white colored slashes at Suki. And using Transparent world, I was able to predict her movements.

But it seemed that she was also able to predict my movements as well with her third eye.

" Word Magic: confusion"

As those words left my mouth, Suki was in a state of confusion. Using this chance, I used this. I applied a fuinjutsu on her, and as I just put it on her forehead, my body felt weak.

* thud*

Falling to the ground, I felt my chakra completely exhausted. grasping for air as I felt the strain on my body of using Sage mode and blessing of chakra.

" Hah hah hah, I feel like shit."

Getting out of her confusion, Suki looked as the Fuinjutsj seal on her forehead.

Suki:" Well, who would've thought you had some more tricks up your sleeves. Well, that concludes your training here unless you want to stay for a little longer?"

* Breathing heavily*

" I think I'll stay for now, I need to get used to fighting in sage mode."

Suki:" Of course, and I will gladly help you."

Suki easily tore off the seal on her and walked back to her tree house.

Forcing my body, I followed her.

Suki:" Now that you've proved yourself, you're able to summon me and the other elders as you wish. "

" The elders?"

Suki:" I'm sure you saw them sleeping in the back when we first met. Each one of them is a leader to feline clan. This whole forest is filled with them. "

" How many are there?"

Suki:" Don't know, probably gotta count the elders once more to see if there are any new clans."

" So basically, you're the queen here, and those elders are clan heads of different feline races."

Suki:" Correct, I also forgot to mention, but there's a sage art called Sage Art: Amphibian Jutsu, Using this Sage art requires two living beings in harmony, which will allow me or some other feline that learned nature energy could continously absorb nature energy as you're on the move."

" I see, that would be helpful."

As we were both talking, we had arrived at Suki's Tree House, jumping to the top, Suki once again spoke.

Suki:" Now tell me, are you a Jinchuriki?"

" Yes."

'No point in lying to someone with decades of experience.'

Suki:" I see, that could be a problem." She spoke as she put her paw under her chin.

" And why's that?" I questioned.

Suki:" We can't use the Sage art unless you have to get rid of the Tailed Beast, but doing that would kill you, so the only way is to achieve complete harmony with it. Do you think you could do it?"

" I'll try to, but anytime I arrive, it just sleeps."

Suki:" So which Tailed beast is it?"

" It's a dragon."

Suki:" A dragon!!!?? I never heard of one! are you sure it's a tailed beast?"

" Yes, I'm sure."

Suki:" Sigh, just what the hell is going on? sigh, a dragon, you say? dragons are known to be prideful. This could be problematic."

" So I can't learn Sage art now, huh?"

Suki:" Unfortunately, yes, but you could stay here to train your Sage mode. You could stay up here for now. And when you're done, you could leave and come anytime you want. Also, come to me once you're able to get into harmony with your tailed beast."

As she was finished talking, she walked to the middle where there was a pillow and fell asleep under the sun.

' Sigh, well, I could only just train for now.'
