For a first attempt, Xin's performance was already exceptional, especially compared to Jiraiya and Naruto.
Besides, as long as Xin could enter Sage Mode, he didn't need to worry about maintaining it Ophis would handle the chakra supply.
Once he entered both Sage Mode and the Ophis Chakra Mode, Ophis would become his personal massive chakra battery.
"Now that I've mastered Sage Mode, I can start incorporating Ophis Chakra Mode into my routine."
With his plan in place, Xin promptly went home to sleep. The nightly routine of absorbing natural energy and refining Sage Chakra had left him exhausted.
At last, Xin felt a sense of relief.
Compared to Sage Mode, mastering Chakra Mode seemed much easier.
As he raised his hand and looked at the Ophis Chakra enveloping it, Xin couldn't help but laugh.
"I wonder when Kushina will finally earn the Nine-Tails's approval and enter Nine-Tails Chakra Mode."
"Ophis can give Xin pure INFINITY and help you enter Chakra Mode in no time."
The Nine-Tails resented and even loathed Kushina.
For her to gain the Nine-Tails's approval, fully open her heart, and have the chakra willingly granted to her, Kushina still had a long road ahead.
At this point, the relationship between Kushina and the Nine-Tails was at a stalemate- Kushina didn't torment the Nine-Tails in its sealed space, and the Nine-Tails didn't interfere with her training by using its chakra.
To move forward, they would both have to make a lot more effort.
Unfortunately, neither of them seemed to care about the other. Kushina didn't take the Nine-Tails seriously, and the Nine-Tails couldn't be bothered with her.
Who knew when they would finally open up to each other?
"Ophis, starting tomorrow, we'll continue training. Besides mastering Sage Mode, we also need to work on Ophis Chakra Mode."
"Understood Xin, Ophis will assist you!"
Ophis excitedly rubbed against Xin's face.
Helping Xin grow stronger always made Ophis the happiest.
"Alright, alright, Ophis is the best."
Xin knew the best way to handle his little fox was to shower her with praise. It always made her day.
As expected, Ophis was overjoyed after Xin's compliment, chattering non-stop all the way home.
