I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage.

Chapter 497 An unexpected “acquaintance”!
Nara Langui held the S-level magic scroll tightly in his hand, completely immersing himself in the content of the scroll, eagerly reading and absorbing the essence of knowledge recorded in [Sage Mode: Thousand-Armed Hashirama].

This [Sage Mode] named after the big pillar is somewhat different from the other two [Sage Modes] that Nara Langui currently masters.

First of all, whether it is Miaomu Mountain or Shiggong Forest, their [Immortal Mode] can absorb and extract only two sources of natural energy.

[Sage Mode·Miaomu Mountain] absorbs natural energy from the atmosphere and the earth.

[Immortal Mode·Moist Bone Forest] absorbs natural energy from sea water and the atmosphere.

By analogy, the [Sage Mode·Ryuji Cave] that Nara Langui has not touched so far should absorb the natural energy from the earth and sea water.

However, in reality, the natural energy sources that can be absorbed by the [Immortal Mode] of the three holy places still have obvious emphasis.

Miaomu Mountain is more "atmospheric".

Shigulin focuses on "sea water".

Yongdi Cave relies on "the earth".

This emphasis may have something to do with the characteristics of the creatures living in the three holy places. (Toad, slug, snake)

In addition, the many immortal arts passed down from the three holy places can also show the focus of the [immortal mode] of the three holy places from the side.

The most obvious example is probably the [Inorganic Reincarnation] in Ryūchi Cave.

Although [Inorganic Reincarnation] mainly targets "inorganic things".

But in actual application, its form of expression is more like a super-wide earth escape ninjutsu.

[Sage Mode·Thousand-Armed Hashirama] is different from the [Sage Mode] of the three holy places, it can absorb natural energy from the atmosphere, earth and sea water at the same time!

To put it simply, it is the [Immortal Mode] of the big pillar, which can absorb all natural energy existing in the outside world!
This is also one of the goals Nara Langui has been pursuing.

If there is an obvious lack of natural energy sources that [Sage Mode] can absorb.

Normally, it might not affect anything.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case.

Nara Langui didn't want to make mistakes on such a small issue.

His original plan was to slowly improve this shortcoming of [Immortal Mode] by himself, but he did not expect that Dazhu's [Immortal Mode] had already solved this problem for him.

Secondly, the Senju Chakra that can be synthesized by [Sage Mode·Senju Hashirama] has a clear direction - Wood Release Chakra!

The chakra produced by the [Sage Mode] of the three holy places is non-attribute chakra, which can follow the user's will (or seal) and be transformed into the corresponding attribute chakra through changes in properties.

But [Sage Mode·Thousand-Armed Hashirama] can only be used on Wood Release.

Nara Langui feels that "Wood Release Sage Mode" may be a more suitable name.

Correspondingly, [Sage Mode·Senju Hashirama] cannot release other ninjutsu after it is used, but can only release wood escape ninjutsu.

The Immortal Technique of Wood Release that Nara Langui obtained from Tsunade Hime earlier, such as [Immortal Technique: Myojin Gate], [Immortal Technique: Wood Release: True Thousand Hands]... Now you can use this "Wood Release Immortal Technique" mode" is used.

Although these immortal spells can be released through [Immortal Mode·Miaomu Mountain/Moist Bone Forest].

But obviously, they are still more suitable for [Sage Mode·Thousand-Armed Hashirama].

Finally, and the biggest difference.

The reason is that [Sage Mode·Thousand-Armed Hashirama] is the first—and probably the last—human version of Sage Mode that Nara Langui has encountered so far!

There is this case of "Wood Release Immortal Mode".

Nara Langui can quickly copy other types of "Blood Successor Immortal Mode".

This is undoubtedly a very solid step towards the ultimate goal of Nara winning the title.

The [Immortal Mode], which is exclusive to humans, finally does not just stay on the plan sheet, but has become an unmistakable expected harvest.

Master Zhongjue didn't need to look closely to notice Nara Langui's overflowing joy.

The old abbot couldn't help but be a little confused.

He clearly knew the origin of the ninjutsu scroll in the hands of the Fourth Hokage.

It was an object left in the temple by the First Hokage when he visited the Fire Temple.

At the same time, the first Hokage also said very generously that if the immortals of the Fire Temple need it, they can learn the contents recorded in this ninjutsu scroll to add a strength to the Fire Kingdom.

Over the years, the immortal talents of the Fire Temple have naturally studied the inheritance scroll left by the first Hokage in the temple.

But it is a pity that after decades, no one of the immortals has really learned any skills from this scroll. The reason is also very simple.

If you want to practice [Sage Mode·Thousand-Armed Hashirama], there are two very basic restrictions.

First, the practitioner must have a large enough chakra.

Second, the practitioner must be the owner of the Wood Escape Blood Succession Boundary.

For this first condition, the immortal talents of the Fire Temple can barely meet it.

Although not every immortal talent has the "Chatara" like the first Hokage.

But practicing [Immortal Mode] is still qualified.

The problem is the second one!

Those who are not the owner of the Wood Release Blood Succession Limit cannot practice [Sage Mode·Thousand-Armed Hashirama].

How rare is Wood Release?

Master Zhongkaku only knows that in the ancient scriptures of the Fire Temple, it is clearly recorded that the person who has the limit of the Wood Release Blood Succession is one and only the first Hokage Senju Hashirama!
Even the first Hokage's younger brother, the dignified Second Hokage, has not awakened Mudun.

But this Fourth Hokage was so excited...

Master Zhongjue was confused, but he didn't take the initiative to ask.

If the Fourth Hokage is willing to answer the question, Master Nakagaku will provide a pair of quiet listening ears.

But if the other party is unwilling to tell the reason, Master Zhongjue will not rashly pry into the other party's secrets.

The old abbot waited patiently for the Fourth Hokage to put down the ninjutsu scroll in his hand, and then slowly spoke again.

"Hokage-sama, apart from these forming techniques..."

Master Zhongjue raised his right hand and pointed to a certain location in the building.

"This temple also houses some other semi-finished techniques that are not perfect, as well as a large number of cultivation experiences of immortals. They are all placed over there.

"If Hokage-sama wants to borrow it and learn more about it, you can take it yourself."

"Thank you, Master."

Nara Langui put his hands together and expressed his sincere thanks.

Then, in front of Master Zhongjue, he left a text mark of [Shadow Stream Blade] on the attic floor.

"There will be a lot of trouble in the next few days. Please forgive me, master."

"Hokage-sama, you're welcome..."

Master Zhongjue returned the salute and asked again.

"I wonder if Hokage-sama is free now?

"The ninja team that delivered Shikaku's message before has been staying in the temple recently. They just learned about the arrival of Lord Hokage and wanted to come to pay their respects."

Konoha's ninja team has stayed in the Fire Temple?

Don't they have other tasks to perform?

Or is it that staying at the Fire Temple is the mission left to them by Nara Shikaku?

Nara Langui felt a little surprised.

But since he himself is in the Fire Temple, if the ninjas in the village want to come, they will naturally not refuse.

Master Zhongjue soon led a team of four over.

Nara took a moment to look at Gui.

There are actually four "acquaintances".

The leader of the team is the chuunin, Metkai.

The three accompanying team members, Shenyue Izumo, Gang Zitie, and...

Matt Day? !
