56 Mount Myoboku

It was a bright and cheerful morning. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky.

Kozuki was ready for his journey so after getting freshen up, he quietly left the village and arrived at a quiet place far from the village.

Kozuki took out a scroll and spread it on the ground and after biting his thumb he placed his hands on it.

"Summoning Jutsu"

White Smoke enveloped the area and soon dissipated revealing a Small Humanoid Green Toad.

"Ready, Boy"

Fukasaku, one of elders of Mount Myoboku asked looking at Kozuki.

"Yes, Lord Fukasaku"

Kozuki nodded in approval as Fukasaku placed his hands on the ground.

"Reverse Summoning Jutsu"

Kozuki felt his head spinning for a second and saw huge lotus appearing in front of him.

"Welcome to Mount Myoboku, boy"

a Female toad around the same size as Fukasaku stood in front holding a basket with insects jumping in it.

Yes, Kozuki is in one of three Sacred Lands of Ninja World.

During the war when he was with Jiraya, he asked for a contract scroll from him.

Jiraya happily agreed as he believed that the stronger Kozuki would be the better is it for Konoha.

Kozuki after that signed a contract with Gamabunta who was resistant at first but he taught him a lesson with his strength after which he surrendered.

"I'm grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to learn Senjutsu"

Kozuki was looking forward to Sage Mode,

He never used Chakra it doesn't mean that he looks down on it, like Sage Mode, he always wanted to learn it as it would improve his strength in all aspects.

To learn Sage Mode a huge amount of Chakra was one of the important factors, due to his strong body, the amount of Chakra he had was enough for him to learn sage mode.

But his talent in Chakra has always been average, so this was the reason he asked for a leave of around 2 years.

"Well, Ma, Kozuki Boy is here for the first time, shouldn't you prepare a delicious breakfast for him"

"You don't need to bother yourself! I have brought a lot of food with me"

Kozuki hurriedly said as he remembered that terrible breakfast from the anime.

"Don't be too polite, once you eat her cooking you'll forget everything else"

Fukasaku was trying to make Kozuki feel at home. Kozuki could only smile wryly at their insistence.

Kozuki followed the two toads back to their place.

"Kozuki boy, make yourself at home, take a seat, breakfast would be ready soon"

Fukasaku offered Kozuki a normal cup of tea.

After a little while, Shima brought in a large plate of worms and out it on the table.

"Come on, boy, no need to be shy. Eat up"

Shima looked at Kozuki expecting his praise after eating.

Kozuki closed his eyes, took the insects and stuffed them in his mouth.

And then he swallowed them whole!

"So, boy what do you think, they taste good, right?"

Fukasaku asked looking at him.

"Best Ever"

Kozuki was enduring his urge to vomit as he praised the taste of those insects. This made Shima smile.

After breakfast, Kozuki and Fukasaku went to a nearby Oil pool.

"Kozuki boy, to practice sage mode you first need to able to perceive and gather natural energy. You should let natural energy flow in and out of your body. This Oil in the pool will help you perceive natural energy"

Fukasaku explained about Sage Mode as Kozuki sat in the pool and started his practice of the Sage Mode.

_____________

While Kozuki was learning the Sage Mode, on the other hand as Kozuki had expected Mist had retreated from their border due to his presence.

Even if Yagura and the others were angry and wanted to take revenge but four Kage rank powerhouses that were in Konoha stopped them from any foolishness.

Whether it was Kozuki, Sarutobi, Kushina or Danzo the four them could make things easily difficult for them.

Especially Kozuki, he even killed the fifth tail Jinchuriki and Yagura wasn't so arrogant to believe that he was better then Han.

Yagura at this stage could not even control the three tails.

The news of the retreat of Mist spread throughout the Ninja World.

Through their spies, the whole ninja world soon knew of the reason of the sudden retreat.

It was the familiar name that once again was on the tongue of everyone.

Killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, this feat was also included in his lists of records making him the most fearful among all Konoha Ninja's.

Sarutobi was holding his head in his office as he had hidden this news for fear of Kozuki gaining any more reputation.

But he didn't expect the system of Mist to be so weak that those bastards let the matter leak out.

"Sigh"

"Please stop for a while"

Sarutobi sighed and hoped that Kozuki could stop making sensational events one after another.

But he cheered up soon as he learned that Kozuki has left the village which means Minato has a clear field in front.
