The two powers gradually began to merge into a single force.
It was a storm combined with boundless natural energy.
At the same time, the natural energy was transformed into a swirling whirlwind.
From that moment onward, the two forces were no longer distinguishable. They intertwined and became completely integrated.
Finally, everything merged into Naruto's body.
Naruto had successfully combined Sage Mode with Wind Release Chakra Mode.
This new power—
Naruto gave it a name:
"Wise Wind Mode!"
Naruto was overjoyed.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
His pupils still contained the power of Mount Myōboku's Sage Jutsu, but they had also transformed into horizontal frog-like pupils, surrounded by dark eye markings.
At the same time, the characteristics of Wind Release Chakra Mode manifested around his body, forming violent Hurricane Style vortices.
Deep-blue Wind Release Chakra permeated his entire body, inside and out, even reaching his eyes and forming countless sharp points.
At this moment, Naruto had finally reached the pinnacle of the Ninja World!
He had reached the absolute peak of strength.
He was practically invincible!
Naruto laughed three times before unleashing the terrifying power of his newly acquired Wise Wind Mode for the first time.
"Sage Art: Hurricane Style—Great Leap Forward!"
The moment the technique was released, the immense natural energy was completely integrated with the wild and violent Wind Release Chakra Mode.
Naruto had now mastered not only nature itself, but also the power of the wind.
And that was why—
The terrifying power of the Wise Wind spread across the sky and earth, directly affecting a large portion of Mount Myōboku.
The ground trembled.
Echoes reverberated through the mountains.
All living creatures were left trembling in awe.
The incredible power, range, and destructive scale of the technique completely astonished Fukasaku and Shima.
"What kind of power is this?!"
"I'm afraid it's already on the same level as the Great Toad Sage..."
"No. In terms of destructive power and lethality, even the Great Toad Sage cannot compare with Little Naruto right now."
Fukasaku was drenched in sweat.
"Thankfully, Little Naruto isn't using his full power. Otherwise..."
He swallowed nervously.
"I fear the entirety of Mount Myōboku would be affected and reduced to a desolate ruin!"
Shima could see the same thing.
"Indeed. This technique isn't even considered one of Little Naruto's strongest abilities..."
"If he were to use his most powerful killing technique, I'm afraid the entire Mount Myōboku would be destroyed."
"Destroyed in an instant?!"
The two of them knew Naruto very well.
They naturally knew that Naruto's greatest trump card was the Great Rasengan, which he had previously unleashed after combining all of his powers.
And now, if Naruto were to use that technique while in Wise Wind Mode...
Destroying the entire Mount Myōboku would truly be effortless!
The messenger frog was both terrified and filled with immense respect.
From that moment onward, Naruto had become a legend in his eyes.
"He's... incredibly terrifying."
Naruto, however, was completely immersed in the joy of his breakthrough.
He looked down at his hands, feeling the ultimate power created by the perfect combination of Sage Jutsu and Wind Release techniques.
He was excited beyond words.
However—
Fukasaku sighed.
"Although it is truly admirable that Little Naruto managed to overcome the final obstacle and successfully master this powerful Wise Wind Mode..."
"The truth that needs to be told to him must eventually be revealed."
"In the end, the decision has to be his."
Shima also sighed and shook her head.
"Go ahead, old man."
Fukasaku suddenly leaped down and landed lightly on the ground.
His eyes sparkled as a smile appeared on his face.
"Little Naruto!"
"Congratulations! You've finally completed this final technique as well."
"From now on, the entire Ninja World will probably be a place where you can roam freely!"
Naruto scratched his head and chuckled.
"Thank you, Wise Grandpa Frog!"
"I've only just mastered Wise Wind Mode. It will still take some time to fully control it."
"But for now, this should be enough!"
Fukasaku's expression gradually became serious.
"However, besides congratulating you, there's something else I need to tell you. I have to explain everything that has happened."
Naruto immediately noticed the change in his expression.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Fukasaku then told Naruto everything that had happened.
Naruto's brows immediately furrowed tightly.
"What?!"
"Pain infiltrated the village?!"
"Perverted Sage is fighting him?!"
"And Sasuke... went directly after Uchiha Itachi to get his revenge?!"
One piece of intelligence after another completely unsettled Naruto.
Fukasaku said in a deep voice:
"Little Naruto, you should know very well that this is the prophecy the Great Toad Sage made for you."
"With your current strength, you should be able to save them no matter where you go."
"But..."
"Little Jiraiya and Uchiha Sasuke..."
"You can only choose to save one of them."
"So..."
"Who will you choose?"
Chapter 347: I Want Them All! The Moment to Change Fate!
Naruto clenched his fists.
He finally understood that the time to make a choice had arrived.
On one side was Konoha Village, which was on the verge of collapse.
On the other was his most beloved teacher, the Perverted Sage!
And then there was his best friend, the person he considered his kindred spirit—Uchiha Sasuke!
Naruto absolutely did not want to lose either of them.
But no matter which side he chose, he would probably regret abandoning the other.
Was this the life-or-death choice the Great Toad Sage had mentioned?
Naruto's heart began pounding violently.
"Great Toad Sage Grandpa, what do you think I should do?"
Fukasaku shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Little Naruto. This is your decision. No one can make it for you."
Shima also sighed.
"Little Naruto, sometimes people are forced to face choices like this."
"No matter what you choose, you will suffer."
"However, you don't need to worry too much. Neither Little Jiraiya nor Uchiha Sasuke is necessarily going to encounter danger."
"There are the Hokage and many powerful ninja in Konoha Village."
"I've even heard that the Hokage has sent many powerful ninja to the Hidden Mist Village as reinforcements. Perhaps Sasuke won't fall into a trap."
However, Naruto shook his head.
"Grandma, you don't have to comfort me."
"The Great Toad Sage said that both of the people mentioned in the prophecy will face dangers that threaten their lives."
"Since he was able to foresee all of this, his prophecy must be correct."
Fukasaku helplessly nodded.
"Little Naruto is right. The Great Toad Sage cannot be wrong."
"Since that's the case, now is the time for you to make your choice."
"Otherwise, it may lead to an even greater regret later."
"Little Naruto..."
"Who will you choose to save?"
Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Great Toad Sage Grandpa, there are frogs from Mount Myōboku in Konoha Village who can use Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon me instantly."
"What about the Hidden Mist Village?"
Fukasaku replied:
"Don't worry. We have people there as well."
"When Little Jiraiya came to take you away for training, he mentioned that the Ninja World had been unusually unstable recently."
"So, just in case, Mount Myōboku also stationed people in various places."
Naruto nodded.
In that case, the situation really did come down to a choice.
Perverted Sage...
Sasuke...
Naruto's clenched fists tightened even further.
"No!"
"I can't abandon either of them!"
"I absolutely cannot lose the Perverted Sage, and I absolutely cannot lose Sasuke either!"
"I want them all!"
Fukasaku and Shima were both stunned.
"Little Naruto, we'd like that too, but..."
Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Great Toad Sage Grandpa, if it's a Shadow Clone, can it be summoned using Reverse Summoning Jutsu?"
Fukasaku paused for a moment.
"A Shadow Clone?"
"In theory... yes, it's definitely possible."
In fact, in the original story, Naruto's transition into Sage Mode happened when Fukasaku used Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon the Shadow Clone Naruto who was training at Mount Myōboku back to Konoha Village.
After the Shadow Clone was released, the Sage Chakra stored within it returned to Naruto's main body.
In other words, a Shadow Clone can indeed be summoned through Reverse Summoning Jutsu.
