He might be shy about other Uzumaki clan members, but when it came to improving his own strength, Kazuhiko had an unimaginably thick skin.
You see, harnessing the power of nature isn't just about using one's own chakra; it's like having a special key. Once you've mastered it, you can learn Senjutsu, and even access Sage Mode. The strength of Sage Mode is truly unmatched.
Once one masters Sage Mode, Kazuhiko's power and speed would increase several-fold, and his ninjutsu would be greatly enhanced.
Even if he were injured, his pain would be significantly reduced, and he'd gain a heightened sense of perception and area-based attack abilities.
The Senjutsu users find that they become more energized when using it, unlike traditional chakra use, which tends to drain one's energy.
The power of Senjutsu is remarkable. In the later stages of Naruto, only Taijutsu and Senjutsu could harm Uchiha Madara, who had become the Ten Tails Jinchūriki. This demonstrates the tremendous impact of Senjutsu.
Furthermore, mastering Sage Mode brings significant benefits. One can now perceive natural energy with the naked eye and absorb it directly through their body. There's no need to search for places with strong natural energy like before; it's like having a key.
With this key before him, Kazuhiko couldn't resist the opportunity to enhance his strength. He even considered passing this knowledge down to other Uzumaki clan members once he had mastered it.
However, he was fully aware of the risks involved, so only suitable individuals would be taught this technique to avoid unfortunate outcomes.
"Hey, Katsuyu, there's so much natural energy here. Can I give it a try?"
Katsuyu turned to Kazuhiko and cautioned, "Kazuhiko-sama, using natural energy is not a simple task. If you're not careful, you might petrify yourself. Learning to harness natural energy is a perilous journey, filled with unpredictable dangers. Many who attempt it end up turning to stone or experiencing severe bodily reactions."
Katsuyu, with a tone of doubt, emphasized the consequences to Kazuhiko. She was hesitant about him learning natural energy, even though she recognized his talent and power.
Kazuhiko, determined and curious, was willing to take the risk, not wanting to return empty-handed. "Well, Katsuyu, I want to give using natural energy a shot. It's just too powerful to ignore."
Katsuyu agreed, leading him to a special place she had created: the Fountain of Life on top of a mountain in the Shikkotsu Forest.
Kazuhiko marveled at the pristine hot spring and sensed the abundant life energy and natural energy within. It surpassed anything he had encountered before.
"Kazuhiko-sama, this is the Fountain of Life, which I created during my free time. Immersing in it is highly effective for sensing natural energy and healing injuries. It can also detoxify your body," Katsuyu explained.
Kazuhiko was taken aback by Katsuyu's response, realizing that this enchanting place had been here for hundreds of years. "How long did it take you to create this fountain?"
"More than two centuries. Is something bothering you, Kazuhiko-sama?"
Kazuhiko was speechless at Katsuyu's astonishing lifespan.
"If you're serious about learning to use natural energy, you can practice in this hot spring. It's much safer here. Even if you make a mistake, the hot spring will mitigate the risks and protect you," Katsuyu cautioned. "But please, be extremely careful. Even with the Fountain of Life, there's a high chance of petrification if you're not cautious."
Katsuyu's tone turned serious, and this was the first time Kazuhiko heard such seriousness from her. He understood the gravity of the situation and promised to be vigilant.
"Alright, I understand. So, how do we get started?"
