In the afternoon, after Minato finished his work, he was summoned to Mount Myoboku through reverse summoning because he had made an appointment with the immortal of Mount Myoboku.
"Bunta, thank you for bothering you again." Minato thanked Gamabunta who summoned him to Mount Myoboku.
"This kind of thing is nothing to me." Wen Tai, who was smoking a big pipe, said domineeringly.
"But Minato, isn't it troublesome for you to go back and forth between Konoha and Myoboku Mountain like this
With your talent, if you concentrate on learning Sage Mode and study hard for a few years, you should be able to reach Jiraiya's level." Bunta advised.
"I can't help it, I'm the Hokage," Minato said with a gentle smile.
"Since you have become the Hokage, you must take on the responsibility of being a Hokage. If a Hokage abandons the village for a few years in order to practice, this is more than just incompetence."
"You humans are so troublesome." Bunta complained, and then said nothing more. He took Minato to find Sennin Fukasaku.
When Minato arrived, Fukasaku was enjoying a sumptuous meal of insects.
Sensing someone coming, Fukasaku looked towards the door and saw it was Minato, so he smiled and said, "Little Minato, are you here to practice immortal arts again? It's just right, today's meal is very rich, come and eat with us, little Minato."
Minato looked at the fat worms with various colors of slime and the purple spider soup on the table, smiled and refused:
"Fukasaku-sage, there's no need for that. I had just finished dinner when I arrived."
Not to mention that he had eaten, even if he hadn't, he must have eaten.
These fat worm rice balls and this spider soup are only because Minato is a professional ninja. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably vomit on the spot.
But Minato was somewhat used to it. It was not his first time to come to Myoboku Mountain. The immortals of Myoboku Mountain were so hospitable and friendly.
After all, in the eyes of these toad immortals, these insects are indeed rare delicacies and are great for entertaining guests.
However, even immortals have things that they cannot take into consideration, such as the difference between species.
What a toad thinks is delicious may not necessarily be delicious to humans.
Sometimes, in order to take care of the feelings of the two sages, Minato would force himself to eat a little.
As for the taste, all Minato could say was that he had to hold it in and not vomit.
"That's such a pity. This is a sumptuous meal that the kid's mother only makes once in a while." Shennin Fukasaku grabbed a fleshy white insect and ate it, then said with a look of regret.
Minato could only smile in response to this, but said nothing.
"Dad, what you said is right. If Minato wants to eat it, I will just cook another meal tomorrow." Shima Sento said enthusiastically.
Minato thought something was wrong and looked at Fukasaku, but Fukasaku was also looking at him expectantly.
It was obvious that Sennin Fukasaku hoped that he would agree so that he could entertain the guests and have a good meal at the same time.
Minato: ...
Thinking that he would have to ask the sages for a somewhat unreasonable request, Minato said, "Then I'll trouble you, Shima Sage."
"Haha, it's no trouble. As long as you enjoy your meal, Minato." said Sento Shima with a smile.
Looking at the colorful fat bugs on the table, Minato felt unusually heavy.
It takes extraordinary courage to eat such a feast of insects. If it weren't for the request from the immortals, even Minato would find it difficult to make up his mind.
Some time ago, Nagase found him and hoped that he could help ask the immortals of Myoboku Mountain if they could give him some information about immortal arts.
There can be conditions, Nagaze can also pay some price, the specific conditions can be negotiated.
Nagase also said that no matter what Myobokusan's response was, it would be a surprise for Minato.
But for Minato, he asked on behalf of Nagasawa not for the so-called surprise, but simply because he wanted to help Nagasawa.
For Minato, Nagase is probably the most important person besides Kushina and Naruto. The two have been friends since ninja school. Simply saying that they are best friends cannot describe their relationship.
After eating, Fukasaku Sage took Minato to the place where he practiced immortal arts and began to practice.
In fact, if being able to use Sage Mode is the standard for being able to use Sage Mode, then Minato can also be considered to be able to use Sage Mode.
But what about Minato's Sage Mode? It takes a long time to condense Sage Chakra, but the duration is short. Basically, he will exit Sage Mode after performing one ninjutsu.
Therefore, Minato's Sage Mode has no effect at all in actual combat.
Minato's battles were always fast-paced, and when facing someone who was weaker than him, he would just use Flying Thunder God's kunai to take them away, or throw a meatball at them.
Because Minato's speed in condensing Sage Chakra is extremely slow, it means that he needs to frequently absorb natural energy to enter Sage Mode.
But the most basic point of absorbing natural energy is to not move and to become one with nature.
Minato doesn't have that much time to stand still and absorb natural energy to enter Sage Mode.
So even though he can use Sage Mode, he has never used it in battle.
That kind of Sage Mode doesn't suit his combat style, and using it might even reduce his combat effectiveness.
However, the Sage Mode of Myobokusan is actually not very long-lasting. Generally speaking, it can only last for five minutes at most.
However, for Minato, three minutes is enough to deal with most situations, let alone five minutes.
He probably won’t be able to take down any enemy that he hasn’t taken down in three minutes.
After finishing three hours of practicing the Sage Chakra, Minato let out a long breath and jumped lightly from the top of the spire to the ground.
"Sage Fukasaku, I have something I need to discuss with you." Minato, who had finished his training, finally spoke.
"Minato, if you have something to say, just tell me directly," said Fukasaku Sennin.
"I have a friend named Nagase, and he wants some information about fairy arts from Myoboku Mountain." Minato said.
"Nagaze is a very good friend of mine. He is a very nice person and trustworthy."
“Information on immortal arts…” The Immortal Fukasaku frowned his two long white eyebrows together.
Fukasaku has a very high status in Myoboku Mountain. He has been practicing magic for more than 800 years. His status in Myoboku Mountain is second only to that of the Great Toad Sage, and he has the right to select people to come to Myoboku Mountain to learn magic.
But he once encountered such a request, which only asked for information on fairy arts, rather than coming directly to Myoboku Mountain to study. Learning fairy arts is not an easy thing.
You may not be able to learn even if someone teaches you, let alone practice on your own without anyone teaching you.
"Minato, although I trust you very much, the matter of immortal arts is too serious. I must see him with my own eyes before making a decision." said Fukasaku Sage in a deep voice.
"It's okay, I understand." Minato nodded and said:
"I will inform my friend when I get back and arrange for you to meet up."
