Chapter 67: Eternal Sage Mode

Once the natural energy completely invaded Ryujiro's body, he would turn into a stone statue!

However, at this moment, Jiraiya and Fukasaku couldn't do anything. If they were to disturb Ryujiro rashly, the consequences might be even more unpredictable.

The eyes of the Toad Sage narrowed. "Jiraiya boy, carefully observe the aura on Ryujiro's body."

Jiraiya, in a panic, was first stunned, then carefully observed Ryujiro. The next moment, his expression changed drastically, and his breathing became rapid.

"Sage Mode, Ryujiro's Sage Mode hasn't been released!"

"What on earth is happening?"

Fukasaku looked at Ryujiro in shock. Even he didn't know what was going on in this situation.

"I don't know either."

Jiraiya stiffened in place.

Even Fukasaku didn't know what was happening. What exactly was this kid Ryujiro doing?

He could feel the entire Mount Myoboku's natural energy crazily converging towards Ryujiro's position. It was as if Ryujiro was an invisible vortex, drawing all the natural energy into his body.

Wasn't he afraid of any accidents?

His courage was too great.

Normally, entering Sage Mode would have some characteristics, such as the orange eye shadow appearing at the corners of the eyes for Mount Myoboku's inherited Sage Mode. 

However, immediately after Ryujiro's features disappeared, there was no such thing on Ryujiro.

And Ryujiro hadn't released his Sage Mode.

The overflowing Senjutsu Chakra, even just a bit, made Jiraiya extremely fearful.

That strong Chakra was completely different from when he entered Sage Mode.

It was as if the entire Mount Myoboku's natural energy was being drained.

Even Shima, who was cooking at home, noticed something unusual. 

When she arrived at the place where Sage Jutsus were practiced, she looked at Ryujiro and also showed a shocked expression.

The vast natural energy poured into his body, yet there were no signs of petrification.

They didn't know that it wasn't Ryujiro absorbing the natural energy. 

Although there was natural energy and abundant Sage Chakra in Ryujiro's body, it was not Ryujiro who was engulfing the natural energy, but rather the Hogyoku, which ruthlessly absorbed every time the natural energy was converted into Sage Chakra.

Moreover, Ryujiro's body was not an ordinary body. Even though Hogyoku had not recognized anyone as its owner yet, it had already merged into Ryujiro's body.

Moreover, Hogyoku was now activated.

The huge amount of natural energy continued to pour into Ryujiro's body.

Fukasaku, Shima, and Jiraiya used their hands to protect themselves from the Sage Chakra storm erupting from Ryujiro's body.

"Jiraiya boy, could Ryujiro be the Child of Prophecy mentioned by the Great Toad Sage?"

Fukasaku asked suspiciously.

With such talent and the unprecedented situation before them, Fukasaku somewhat suspected that Ryujiro was the Child of Prophecy mentioned by the Great Toad Sage, who would save the ninja world in the future.

Jiraiya shook his head.

When the Great Toad Sage talked to him just now, he had already confirmed to the Great Toad Sage that Ryujiro was not the so-called Child of Prophecy.

On the contrary, Ryujiro's destiny was elusive and mysterious. Even the Great Toad Sage did not know what path Ryujiro would take in the future.

"Boom!"

A terrifying Sage Chakra storm erupted again, and cracks of varying sizes appeared on the surface of the toad stones surrounding them.

Such pressure from Sage Chakra, even Fukasaku and Fukasaku, had never felt before.

When the dust settled, Ryujiro emitted a unique aura. This feeling was as if it belonged to a different level of life.

Although Ryujiro didn't seem to have changed much, Fukasaku and Shima were already gaping.

The Ryujiro in front of them was undoubtedly still in Sage Mode.

What on earth was going on?

Ryujiro clenched his fist, feeling the immense power brought by Sage Chakra inside his body.

Is this Sage Chakra?

His state indeed seemed to be in Sage Mode, but this Sage Mode didn't bring Ryujiro many of the typical features of Sage Mode.

"A perfect Sage Mode."

A high-concentration Sage Chakra gathered at Ryujiro's fingertips, forming a curved blade made of Chakra.

Jiraiya widened his eyes suddenly.

Could Sage Chakra be manipulated like this?

Moreover, with such a dense Sage Chakra, if it were to erupt, Jiraiya didn't dare to imagine it's terrifying power.

Slash!

Ryujiro cut open a gash on his arm.

"What are you doing, Ryujiro!" Shima exclaimed, but then her eyes widened suddenly.

The wound on Ryujiro's arm was gradually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in no time, the wound on Ryujiro's hand disappeared.

There wasn't even a trace of the scratch.

Such recovery power!

Jiraiya opened his mouth wide.

It was like the recovery ability possessed by the First Hokage.

Fukasaku and Shima looked at the healed wound on Ryujiro's arm in shock.

Sage Body?!

Did Sage Chakra transform Ryujiro's body into a Sage Body?!

This was absolutely impossible!

This was not a transformation of Sage Body caused by Sage Chakra, but an evolution brought to Ryujiro's body by Hogyoku.

It was an evolution of Ryujiro's body to another level of life by Hogyoku.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ryujiro's mouth.

He could already feel the power of Hogyoku.

It seemed that Hogyoku was gradually acknowledging him as its master.

"Ryujiro, do you feel any discomfort?" Fukasaku and Shima were somewhat worried after Ryujiro's body was infused with so much natural energy just now.

Ryujiro shook his head.

"There's nothing unusual. But it seems that I am already in Sage Mode now."

And this Sage Mode didn't have a time limit, which meant it was eternal.

Fukasaku and Shima glanced at each other, showing a bitter smile on their lips.

They were truly witnessing the birth of a monster.
