TN: Yaay 200 chapters in, thanks guys for the support and happy readings :D
In the past, Yoruha always got it wrong. He used to think that Naruto's chakra was 100 times that of Kakashi's, but it was only four times more because it was used to suppress the Nine-Tails.
In reality, Naruto's own chakra is four times that of Kakashi's, and now it's only twice as much. The remaining 96 times Kakashi's chakra is actually the Nine-Tails'.
Because Yoruha wasn't very attentive when watching the series before, he misunderstood.
But now, with Yoruha's strong perception abilities, he can tell that Naruto's chakra is only twice that of Kakashi's. Of course, Kakashi's own chakra is already quite substantial, as long as it's not consumed by the Sharingan.
Kakashi's chakra level is definitely at the Kage level, but it's constantly being drained by the Sharingan, which is why it seems so low. Having twice Kakashi's chakra is already enormous. This is a talent brought by Naruto's Uzumaki clan bloodline.
Even with the Uzumaki clan's bloodline talent, having Naruto possess twice Kakashi's chakra at this age is already quite outrageous.
At this age, Kushina definitely didn't have such a massive amount of chakra. After all, it's twice the Kage-level chakra, and he's only 12 years old.
So, aside from the Uzumaki clan's bloodline talent, there's also the influence of Asura's reincarnation chakra. Or rather, the influence of Asura's reincarnation chakra is actually the main reason.
However, even with Naruto's current chakra level, learning Sage Mode is still too difficult, and the danger is far greater than it will be in a few years.
Naruto was a bit surprised, "It actually requires twice my current chakra level. The requirements are really high."
Yoruha said, "Actually, if you mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra, or if the Nine-Tails was willing to assist you, you could start learning Sage Mode now." The Nine-Tails can also learn Sage Mode.
And because the Nine-Tails is very good at absorbing chakra, with its help, Naruto could learn Sage Mode with half the effort.
But hearing this, Naruto could only smile wryly, "There's no way it would help me." Naruto had met the Nine-Tails several times, but except for the first time, the Nine-Tails ignored him every time he went to see it.
It wouldn't even say a single word to him. Naruto almost thought that day when it was eager to help him was just an illusion. After that, it treated him like a stranger.
Yoruha waved his hand and said, "I can't help you with that. Convincing a Tailed Beast requires sincerity. You need to make it truly acknowledge you before you can fully control its power." Naruto nodded, "I know, I've been trying, but it just keeps ignoring me, not even saying a word. I don't know what to do." "Keep at it. One day, it will see your sincerity."
"The Nine-Tails is quite proud, after all. If you sincerely want its acknowledgment, it will definitely acknowledge you." Of course, Yoruha was just making this up.
He only knew that Naruto would eventually gain the Nine-Tails' acknowledgment. As long as he knew the outcome, he could make up whatever process he wanted.
Naruto trusted Yoruha a lot, so he said earnestly, "Yeah, I definitely will." "When I get the chance, I'll definitely ask Pervy Sage about Sage Mode chakra." "Once I master Sage Mode chakra, will I be able to catch up to you, Yoruha?"
Nodding, "Of course, the only difference between you and me is that I can use Sage Chakra, that's all." Yoruha said earnestly, "You even have the Uzumaki clan's bloodline and the Nine-Tails inside you. If you master Sage Chakra, it's not just about catching up to me; I'd have to look up to you."
However, Naruto's reaction this time was unexpected for Yoruha. Naruto rolled his eyes at Yoruha and said angrily, "You're lying to me again." Yoruha was dumbfounded.
"What did I lie about?" Sasuke, standing nearby, also mocked, "Are you trying to deceive us again?" "We're not that easy to fool anymore.
Catching up to you is no simple task. Forget about catching up; even having half your strength would be impressive."
"But you've always been telling us that you're not as good as us, and we actually believed it, like fools."
Sakura smiled, "Yoruha, we knew you were lying to us since the Chunin Exams." "We understand you meant well, but if you try to deceive us again, we won't fall for it."
Yoruha looked puzzled, "What do you mean?" "Still pretending?" Naruto snorted coldly.
For a moment, Yoruha didn't know what to say. How did he suddenly get exposed? In truth, Yoruha didn't feel he had misled the two of them before, considering they eventually achieved Six Paths-level strength, which made it natural for the current Yoruha to look up to them.
He just hadn't mentioned how his strength would measure up at that time. Because who knows what the future holds? Yoruha himself didn't know if he'd be stronger than the two of them in the future.
For Sasuke and Naruto, their futures were set, at least from Yoruha's perspective. But Yoruha's future was unknown; who knew how strong he could become? Perhaps he might not progress at all, which wouldn't be surprising. He certainly couldn't be sure.
But during this period, the feeling Yoruha gave the three was that he could never be surpassed. There was absolutely no one in this world who could surpass him. Seeing that the two didn't believe him, Yoruha didn't want to dwell on the topic.
He said, "That's not important, but I'm sure the three of you will have a powerful future." "If you master Sage Chakra, you'll naturally become even stronger." "However, Sage Chakra isn't easy to train, so you must proceed with caution."
These words were Yoruha's sincere advice. Learning Sage Arts was still too early for the three of them. Even for Naruto, it wasn't the right time to learn Sage Arts.
The three nodded. They believed everything Yoruha said, except for the flattering part. "Alright, we've strayed from the topic. Let's talk about Sasuke's curse mark."
"I want to study it and maybe modify it to help you master Sage Chakra." Sasuke looked puzzled, "Didn't you say Sage Chakra is terrifying?" Yoruha replied, "It is terrifying, but this curse mark can help you master Sage Chakra."
"However, it requires a lot of training support." Hearing that he might have a chance to master Sage Chakra,
Sasuke looked excitedly at Yoruha, "What should I do?" "I'll tell you after I've finished my research. I don't even know the principle behind this curse mark yet," Yoruha said.
"Oh, and you could actually sign a summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave." "Naruto has signed a summoning contract with Mount Myoboku, and you can sign one with Ryuchi Cave. As for Sakura, if possible, she could try signing a summoning contract with Shikkotsu Forest."
"Sakura's situation is the most complicated because signing a contract with Shikkotsu Forest requires consulting Lady Tsunade." "If she doesn't approve of you, there's nothing you can do." Sakura looked dejected, "How could Lady Tsunade approve of me? She doesn't even know me."
Yoruha thought for a moment and said, "Your chakra control is excellent, and you have a high talent for medical ninjutsu. If you can get her to take you as a disciple, naturally, she would allow you to sign a contract with Shikkotsu Forest."
"As for Sasuke, it's straightforward. Just find Ryuchi Cave. Signing a contract with them only requires you to prove your strength to gain their approval."
