Chapter 115: The Shocking Debut of Sage Mode!
Chapter 115: The Shocking Debut of Sage Mode!
Clap!
Tang Ping clasped his hands together and entered Sage Mode.
Entering Sage Mode isn't easy.
For someone like Jiraiya, it takes a few minutes each time.
Future Naruto, due to his Uzumaki constitution, developed a method where a long-term Shadow Clone stays in Mount Myoboku, 'on standby.'
The most outrageous is the Great Pillar.
He can enter Sage Mode with just a clap, needing no preparation or props.
Tang Ping's current stance is similar to the Great Pillar's, but between his palms, a green liquid is seeping into his body.
Hot Spring!
This highly concentrated natural energy is absorbed by him, saving a lot of steps.
This is his unique advantage.
Just think about whether Jiraiya or Naruto could take toad oil from Mount Myoboku to understand how precious this 'liquefied' natural energy is.
"What is this?"
"Be careful!"
Yugao and Rosha exchanged glances, both knowing what the other was thinking.
And they wouldn't foolishly wait for Tang Ping to finish his preparations.
"Die with the fallen Sand ninjas!"
Rosha waved his right hand.
Swish, swish!
A large amount of gold sand condensed into a thousand senbon and shot towards Tang Ping.
Ninjas have high offense and low defense. They either need to find a way to defend or dodge; they can't just take the hit.
Rush!
A pillar of fire engulfed the gold sand senbon.
Then, golden-red flame patterns spread from Tang Ping's forehead, emitting a dominant and scorching aura.
The commotion on the mountain peak was noticed by both sides in the battle below.
Despite the intense fighting, they all knew that the battle on the mountain would greatly influence the situation, so they naturally paid attention.
"This is!!"
"No way!"
"How is this possible? Sage Mode is only supposed to be possible in the three sacred places!"
The Leaf F3 exchanged glances, having seen Sage Techniques before and sensing something significant.
"What is that?"
Kakashi, controlling several puppets to barely fend off the encirclement, also looked terrified.
While she didn't know about Sage Mode, her experience and intuition as a Kage-level ninja told her that something terrifying was happening on the mountain.
"Stop them!"
Nara Shikaku, though he didn't know what was happening on the mountain, knew it would be advantageous for their side, so he commanded the Leaf forces to block the Sand ninjas trying to rush up the mountain.
On the mountain peak!
Tang Ping was unaware of the shock his Sage Mode had caused.
At that moment, he was struggling to control the vast amount of natural energy.
He had never fused with so much natural energy before, and the difficulty was on a whole new level.
"Let the flames purify everything!"
Tang Ping opened his golden-red eyes.
At that moment, he seemed like a sage descended from the heavens.
No wonder it's called 'Sage Mode'; this transformation is indeed exaggerated.
The entire process of entering Sage Mode was naturally very short due to the assistance of the 'Hot Spring,' so Rosha and Yugao didn't manage to interrupt him.
"Scorching Release: Oversteaming Kill!"
Yugao pushed two fused fireballs towards Tang Ping.
While she could fuse more than two, it would take too much time, so she only fused two.
The wheel-sized fireballs, carrying terrifying heat, crashed towards Tang Ping.
"Magnet Release: Gold Sand!"
Rosha also joined in, manipulating the gold sand to squeeze from both sides, blocking Tang Ping's escape route.
Though they were competitors, their cooperation was flawless.
However, Tang Ping's reaction caught both of them off guard.
Clap!
Facing the Scorching Release, he didn't dodge but extended his right hand to catch it, and the gold sand on both sides disintegrated under a sudden burst of flame.
Yes, it wasn't a jutsu or anything else; Tang Ping simply caught the Scorching Release with his right hand.
"Wind and fire combined Bloodline Limit, indeed not weak!"
Tang Ping easily crushed the fireball in his hand.
Sage Mode!
It comes with various powerful abilities.
For example, the strength and perception granted by the Mount Myoboku Sage Mode.
While Tang Ping's Sage Mode also enhances his strength and perception, the greatest improvement is in his 'flame manipulation.'
Controlling flames as if by instinct!
That's why he could so easily crush the fireball without it exploding.
"If it's you two, this should be enough!"
Tang Ping looked at them and said.
Tohei activated Sage Mode for the first time in combat, feeling that two Kage-level opponents indeed had the potential to force out the full potential of Sage Mode.
He rushed in front of Yugao and delivered a powerful punch.
Boom!
The punch sent her flying.
At this moment, Tohei's strength was on par with a high-level taijutsu specialist, significantly enhancing his close combat and speed.
A complete transformation!
Of course, Yugao was caught off guard by his sudden change, which was why she was sent flying with a single blow, not because she was truly that weak.
Whoosh, whoosh!
A dense series of whistling sounds came from the side, interrupting Tohei's pursuit. It was Roshi manipulating his Gold Dust to form a thousand needles.
"Nice teamwork!"
While praising their coordination, Tohei had no choice but to abandon his pursuit of Yugao and use Body Flicker to dodge.
He was still getting used to Sage Mode and didn't want to unleash his full power just yet.
During his previous training, he had used Sage Mode, but never with such a high concentration of natural energy. Now, he needed to familiarize himself with it first.
Taijutsu!
Without using any ninjutsu, Tohei relied solely on his taijutsu to hold his own against the two Kage-level opponents for a few rounds.
Strong is just one word, and he couldn't emphasize it enough.
His Sage Mode wasn't specialized in taijutsu, yet it still provided a significant boost, proving that Sage Mode was indeed a fundamental transformation of one's life essence.
But no worries, the main event was about to begin.
"Alright, warm-up is over!"
He backflipped and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
A white flame appeared, wrapping around his body like layers of ethereal silk, looking pure and graceful.
But beauty didn't mean weakness.
A perceptive opponent would sense the terrifying power hidden beneath those layers of white silk.
"Senjutsu: Flame Cloak!"
Using senjutsu chakra, the multiple layers of flame overlapped, creating a power that was worlds apart from before.
To put it bluntly, if Tohei were to unleash his full potential, he could easily turn a fifty-meter radius into a no-man's land for ordinary life.
With the Flame Cloak, Tohei's threat level skyrocketed.
Because in the Flame Cloak state, his ninjutsu and taijutsu were on a completely different level compared to when he wasn't wearing it.
"Dark Sweep!"
A ball of pure white flame was flung forward along the ground.
In Sage Mode, the Dark Sweep was faster, more powerful, and most importantly, controllable.
He could slightly influence the speed and direction of the flame.
This change alone greatly enhanced Tohei's combat effectiveness.
Consider this: In the future, Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan had two abilities—Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi, which allowed him to control Amaterasu's flames.
Tohei's Sage Mode was like a super-enhanced version of Kagutsuchi.
He could control various aspects of the flame, not just its shape.
Crash!
Roshi used his Gold Dust to block the Dark Sweep, but it bypassed the barrier and continued toward him.
"How is this possible!"
Faced with this, he didn't dare to block it and chose to ascend into the air.
But just as he began to hover,
"Single Joy Slaughter!"
Tohei, who had leaped over, brought his right leg down like a battle-ax.
Boom!
Roshi raised his hands to block, but he was still sent crashing toward the ground, where the Dark Sweep awaited.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Several shuriken stopped Tohei's pursuit and gave Roshi the chance to use his Gold Dust to catch himself, avoiding the pure white flames.
This color of flame was different from ordinary flames.
Even with chakra-enhanced bodies, it could easily cause severe damage.
Yugao and Roshi, working together, managed to barely keep up with Tohei's attacks. As they grew more familiar, they slowly gained the upper hand.
But they both knew this was just a test, and their opponent hadn't used his strongest jutsu yet.
"Scorch Release: Over-steam Kill!"
Yugao seized the opportunity and used her Scorch Release to send Tohei flying.
Roshi also used his Gold Dust to join the attack.
Boom!
Just as Tohei used "Ghost Burn" to block the incoming needles and landed,
"Be careful!"
Nara Shikaku's warning came from a distance.
Because, at some point, a figure had emerged from the ground behind Tohei.
