"Sage Chakra?" "What's that?" "Is it another new power?"
The three of them were unfamiliar with Sage Chakra, having never even heard of it before.
Yoruha leaned against the windowsill, looking at them as he explained, "Sage Chakra is a type of chakra that combines natural energy with the body's chakra." "Its power is much stronger than just the body's chakra alone."
Sasuke furrowed his brow. "Stronger than chakra by a lot?" Yoruha nodded, looking at Sasuke seriously, "Several times stronger." "But Sage Chakra isn't easy to control. The natural energy within it is extremely volatile. If you don't handle it well, you could die."
The three, who were initially curious about Sage Chakra, were suddenly stunned. "Die, die?" Naruto looked panicked; he had just been about to ask Yoruha where he could learn it.
Upon hearing about the risk of death, Naruto completely gave up. Sasuke, on the other hand, began to think seriously. Sakura looked at Yoruha, "Yoruha, do you know how to use Sage Chakra?"
Sakura's question made Naruto and Sasuke both look at him. "Yeah, you seem to know so much about Sage Chakra, you must be able to use it, right?" Yoruha glanced at the three of them and said, "What I use is indeed Sage Chakra."
In truth, Yoruha didn't realize that what he was using wasn't Sage Chakra. It was purely planetary energy.
Earlier, he had acquired a planetary-level energy source, and Yoruha's understanding was that, like the Divine Tree, he could draw energy from the planet and convert it into chakra.
But in reality, what he was using was simply planetary energy. Just like before, the chakra he used wasn't Sage Chakra but pure natural energy.
It was just that his body still retained some of his own chakra, which led Yoruha to mistakenly believe he was using Sage Chakra.
After all, if his own chakra combined with natural energy is chakra, then isn't that Sage Chakra?
But previously, Yoruha's chakra hadn't actually merged with natural energy. His own chakra was just used to maintain his bodily functions; he was like a machine, an energy storage device.
His own chakra maintained the operation of his body, while the large amount of energy he output was directly drawn from the natural energy stored within him, and all kinds of jutsu were released using natural energy as the energy source.
Now, Yoruha directly uses the planet's energy as the energy source. Although both are energy, they are completely different from natural energy.
Planetary-level energy is naturally far more abundant than natural energy.
It is so powerful that, if enhanced a little more, it could completely convert a planet into his energy. Of course, Yoruha doesn't have this god-like ability yet.
But planetary-level energy is indeed more advanced than natural energy. That's precisely why, even though Yoruha's chakra isn't as potent as the Nine-Tails', the chakra he unleashes can still pose a threat to the Nine-Tails.
Of course, Yoruha himself is unaware of this. He still thinks the chakra he's using is Sage Chakra. Now, Yoruha's body compatibility has evolved to include three types.
One is his own chakra, another is the surrounding natural energy, and the third is the energy directly drawn from the planet.
The natural energy is the highest, with the greatest potential for development. The reason Yoruha's spatial sphere can function is due to the energy of the planet driving it. That particular jutsu cannot be powered by chakra or natural energy alone.
However, Yoruha can indeed use Sage Chakra. Or rather, Sage Chakra is a byproduct of his ability to utilize natural energy. In fact, when he uses Sage Chakra, the energy consumption is greater than when he uses natural energy directly.
Yoruha hasn't realized this yet. It's not hard to observe, but Yoruha only cares about the amount of chakra he has and doesn't concern himself with the source of the energy. Or perhaps he speculates about the source of energy within him based on his own common sense.
According to the rules of this world, it's not surprising that Yoruha mistakenly believes the energy within him is Sage Chakra.
When Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura heard that Yoruha could actually use Sage Chakra, they weren't too surprised. Instead, they had a look of "as expected" because they always thought Yoruha's jutsu power was ridiculously strong.
It was completely different from the scale of jutsu they knew. Even though he used the same Water Dragon Jutsu as Zabuza, Zabuza's Water Dragon was nowhere near Yoruha's in terms of power or scale.
Sasuke nodded and said, "So that's Sage Chakra, huh? It really is powerful." Naruto also chimed in, "Yeah, Sage Chakra is indeed strong." Yoruha looked at them and smiled, "So mastering Sage Chakra would greatly enhance your abilities."
"It's just that Sage Chakra isn't easy to master." "Naruto, you can ask Jiraiya about it, he can use Sage Chakra too." Naruto was taken aback, puzzled, "The Pervy Sage can use Sage Chakra?"
Naruto didn't know about this. Yoruha nodded, "Not only can he use it, but he learned Sage Chakra at Mount Myoboku." "Which means, you could also learn Sage Techniques there."
"Really?" Naruto was excited. Knowing the power of Sage Chakra, Naruto was very eager.
Learning that he had the opportunity to learn Sage Chakra made him very happy. "That's right, but learning Sage Chakra is dangerous, as I've said, it can be deadly, with a high chance of death."
"The reason Sage Chakra is so rare in the ninja world is because it's extremely difficult to master. Most ninjas can't learn it, and forcing it leads only to death."
Naruto, who was initially excited, calmed down. He fell silent. Although he really wanted to learn Sage Chakra, he was more afraid of dying.
Naruto looked at Yoruha and asked, "Yoruha, do you think I'm suitable to learn Sage Chakra?" Yoruha nodded, "You are quite suitable." "Your chakra reserves are greater than most ninjas, making you very suitable for learning Sage Techniques."
"It's just that your chakra reserves aren't enough yet. In a few years, when your chakra is sufficient, you should be able to learn it." Naruto, who was initially happy, was a bit disappointed, "My chakra reserves aren't enough yet?" "How much chakra is needed to learn Sage Techniques?"
Naruto was curious. Sasuke and Sakura also looked at Yoruha. They wanted to know too.
Yoruha thought for a moment and said, "It should be more than twice your current chakra reserves." Currently, Naruto's chakra reserves are about twice that of Kakashi's. His own chakra is twice Kakashi's. Including the Nine-Tails' chakra, it's a hundred times.
