The next day, after Minato finished processing documents in the Hokage's office, he went to Nagasawa's office and found Nagasawa.
"What do people say at Myoboku Mountain?" Nagase asked directly.
"He neither refused nor agreed. Sennin Fukasaku said he had to meet you in person before deciding whether to give you the information on the immortal technique." Minato replied.
"How about meeting the immortal of Myoboku Mountain? That's fine too." Nagase nodded.
Immortals have strong perception. I believe that if an immortal could sense his heart that is as bright as the sun, he would be moved and give him the information about the immortal mode.
In fact, it was not just Minato who asked. He also went to find Orochimaru and Tsunade and asked them to ask their respective holy places.
Yongze felt that there was still hope in the Wet Bone Forest, as the Slug Immortal was a gentle and easy-going person.
As for Ryuchi Cave, Nagase did not hold out much hope. The reason he asked Orochimaru to ask was that if he got the consent, it would save him trouble.
After all, each of the three holy places is extremely mysterious, and the founder of each holy place is an old monster who has lived for more than a thousand years and should not be underestimated.
If possible, he could get the information about immortal arts through discussion, and Yongze did not want to use force.
Immortals who have been practicing Taoism for thousands of years, who knows what cards they may have.
In addition to the three major holy places, Yongze also has some ideas for other places, such as the Fire Temple.
In the original plot, the abbot of the Fire Temple, Di Lu, once demonstrated a power called the power of the immortals, and condensed a Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue, which looked quite realistic.
But in actual combat, Di Lu lost. Although he had the disadvantage of not knowing the two men's immortality, it was enough to show that Di Lu's strength was indeed a bit lacking.
"By the way, you said you would give me a surprise. It wouldn't be the Hokage's personal kunai, would it? I don't want that." Minato teased.
Yongze smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."
After that, Nagase poured a glass of water for Minato, handed it to him and said, "Drink the water first, the surprise will come soon."
Minato took the water, looked around, then took a sip. It was just ordinary drinking water.
"Nagaze, could this glass of water be..." Before Minato could finish his words, a strange feeling suddenly surged into his heart. Minato closed his mouth and stopped talking, feeling it carefully.
He could sense the presence of the Anbu hidden among the large number of Hokage and the flow of people coming and going outside.
But Minato assured that he had not used his perception ability just now, and this was slightly different from his previous perception abilities.
Even when he concentrated on watching Nagase, his mind would subconsciously predict Nagase's next move.
After giving Minato some hints about his Haki potential, Nagasawa smiled and said, "Did you feel my surprise?"
Minato looked around the cup curiously again and took another sip. It was indeed an ordinary cup of drinking water.
"I felt it. How did you do that?" Minato couldn't help but ask curiously.
He walked into the office and did nothing except drinking the glass of water that Yongze gave him. How could there be such a change
And that glass of water was indeed just an ordinary, unremarkable glass of drinking water. He saw Yongze get it from the water dispenser with his own eyes.
Why did he suddenly gain a new perception ability? And it was different from the ordinary perception ability.
Even when he concentrated on watching Nagase, Nagase's possible next move would flash through his mind.
As a professional ninja, Minato felt that this ability might be of great use in combat.
"This is my secret." Nagase said with a smile.
"Forget it then." Seeing that Nagase didn't say anything, Minato didn't ask. There were so many mysterious things about Nagase that he was too lazy to ask.
"My surprise doesn't end there. Do you know Armament Haki?"
"It's the secret technique you gave Kakashi, right? I've seen Kakashi use it. It's indeed very powerful and has many uses." Minato nodded and said.
"Actually, I just gave that to you, but you need some simple training to bring it out." Nagase handed Minato the armed color training method he had prepared in advance.
Minato is different from Kakashi and the others. When Minato unlocked his Haki potential, his strength was already very strong, so he didn't need Kakashi and the others to do so much training. It would be much simpler.
"So my perception ability just now was Observation Haki? So this is Haki." Minato looked thoughtful.
"How about my surprise?" Nagaze asked with a smile.
"It really gave me a big surprise." Minato said seriously.
Originally, he thought that Yongze should not give him any expensive gifts, but just treat him to a meal.
Unexpectedly, Nagaze gave something more precious than those so-called valuable items.
Nagasawa gently punched Minato's shoulder and said:
"Show the Hokage's aura and become even more powerful. Now the villagers are saying that the Hokage Fuza is the strongest person in Konoha now."
"There's nothing I can do about it. It's because you, Nagasawa, are the Hokage's assistant. There was no such talk during the Sandaime's time." Minato said with a smile, even a hint of pride in his words.
Because Nagase is his best friend, and he was the one who discovered him. Without his previous invitation, Nagase might still be his ordinary Chunin.
"But Nagase, don't be lazy. Once I master the perfect Sage Mode, my strength will increase a lot. Don't let me surpass you."
"Very good, I'm looking forward to your challenge." Yongze said calmly.
If you want to defeat him, ordinary perfect sage mode is not enough.
Practicing the Sage Mode to Hashirama's level would only allow him to fight quickly and to his heart's content.
Except for people at the Six Paths level, Nagase doesn't think he would lose to anyone, not even Hashirama and Madara in their prime.
When he develops his Sage Mode, and combines it with the breathing method to create the Scorching Sun Sage Mode, he will also touch the Six Paths level.
Yongze has now come to terms with it. Although challenging tasks are difficult, they also have their benefits.
If it were any other time, where could one find such powerful sparring partners as Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya
If you die, you will just waste some points to start over, so you can try your moves without any worries.
Nagase is willing to call this challenge mission "anti-Otsutsuki training."
Let’s practice with Kaguya Otsutsuki first, so that future visitors from the Otsutsuki family will be familiar with the other party’s methods.
A family with six paths per capita is too terrifying. I wonder what kind of starry sky is waiting for the ninja world.
"How about we set the meeting time for three o'clock tomorrow afternoon?" Minato asked.
"If it's alright, I'll tell Fukasaku Sennin tonight."
Yongze nodded and said, "Tomorrow afternoon is no problem. I'm free."
I hope the immortal of Mount Myōboku will not let him down.
ps: Because of the challenge mission, I am re-watching the Fourth Ninja World War and found it really damn long...
I had planned to post three updates today to make up for yesterday's update, but I spent the entire afternoon reading and still haven't read much.
That’s all for today. I’ll try to arrange my time reasonably tomorrow.
