Uchiha En opened the box, and inside was a bag of something that looked like broad beans.
Item Name: Improved Senzu Bean
Item Type: Recovery Item.
Item Effect: Eating one Senzu Bean can restore all injuries. If eaten without injuries, one will not feel hungry for ten days.
Friendly Reminder: 1. There are 20 Senzu Beans in the bag, which can be cultivated. One Senzu Bean can normally grow 5 Senzu Beans, with a maturity period of 12 months.
Senzu Beans automatically absorb Natural Energyas they grow, which can change the concentration of Natural Energyin the planting area. Senzu Beans are ineffective against diseases. Senzu Beans can restore stamina and treat external and internal injuries, but they cannot cure illnesses beyond that.
After Uchiha En finished reading the description of the Senzu Bean, his eyes lit up. Wasn't this the strongest recovery item from Dragon Ball?
Moreover, after coming to the Ninja World, the growth of Senzu Beans had changed to absorbing Natural Energy, and it could also change the concentration of Natural Energy in the planting area.
Isn't this like getting a pillow when you're sleepy?
Uchiha En needed to learn Sage Mode right now, and planting Senzu Beans should be somewhat helpful to him.
The next day, Uchiha En cultivated a small plot of land in his yard, planting 15 Senzu Beans. He planned to keep the remaining 5 for emergencies.
With 15 Senzu Beans planted, Uchiha En would check on them daily.
After about a week, the Senzu Beans sprouted one after another.
And Asana felt something was amiss when the Senzu Beans sprouted.
She could clearly feel the convergence of Natural Energy on these sprouts.
Asana had never seen such plants before. She observed the Senzu Bean sprouts with great interest and found that these sprouts not only gathered Natural Energy but also, after absorbing it, released substances that could affect the surrounding environment.
Making the environment more conducive to accumulating Natural Energy.
"En, where did you get these plants?" Asana asked.
"Lesser Ten-Tails gave them to me," Uchiha En decisively blamed Nijo.
"The Ten-Tails? No wonder it has this effect. En, near these plants, I feel like your speed of absorbing Natural Energy will be much faster. Do you want to try it?"
Uchiha En nodded, and with Asana's assistance, began to try absorbing Natural Energy to enter Sage Mode.
In the original work, Sage Mode was described as a state where one could use Natural Energy.
In this state, one can use Natural Energy to enhance offense and defense, and also to increase the range of Taijutsu attacks and perception.
By combining Natural Energy with one's own Chakra to create "Senjutsu Chakra," the power of one's Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu can be dramatically increased, and it can cause difficult-to-recover damage to the Ten-Tails and its Jinchuriki.
When using Sage Mode, the body undergoes certain changes, and the appearance of eye shadow indicates that Sage Mode has been successfully activated.
And to enter Sage Mode, the first step is naturally to perceive the existence of Natural Energy.
This first step stumped Uchiha En.
In the original work, Naruto perceived the existence of Natural Energy by using toad oil from Mount Myōboku. Uchiha En didn't have such auxiliary items and had been unable to perceive Natural Energy.
Just as Uchiha En was troubled by this, Asana received a message from Orochimaru, who said he had completed experiments related to Natural Energy.
Asana immediately asked Uchiha En to take her back to the Sound Village.
The two returned to the Sound Village, and after a brief exchange with Orochimaru, Asana learned that Orochimaru had developed something called a Cursed Seal using Jugo's special constitution.
This Cursed Seal contained Natural Energy.
Asana's eyes lit up at the news. She asked Orochimaru to apply the Cursed Seal to Uchiha En.
The Cursed Seal was too weak for the current Uchiha En; if he wanted to, he could directly expel this power from his body.
But Uchiha En did not do so. Instead, he asked Asana to help seal the Chakra within his body, and with the power of the Cursed Seal, he slowly experienced what Natural Energy felt like.
After a week, Uchiha En finally perceived Natural Energy.
The first step in learning Senjutsu was successfully broken through.
Uchiha En had Asana release the seal within his body, then directly expelled the power of the Cursed Seal from his body.
Afterward, the two returned to the Uchiha Clan to continue their training.
After being able to perceive Natural Energy, the next step was to absorb Natural Energy and merge it with the body's physical energy and spiritual energy to form Senjutsu Chakra.
The step of merging Senjutsu Chakra was not difficult for Uchiha En; his control over his body was very strong, making it easy to merge the three forces.
However, absorbing Chakra was a considerable problem.
Because Natural Energy is a power that inherently exists in the Ninja World; it is not like Chakra, which was brought by the God Tree.
This power is like the air, like mountains, like the ocean; it is a part of this world.
If one is not careful when absorbing it, there is a risk of being assimilated by Natural Energy.
Fortunately, Asana's control over Natural Energy was formidable. As soon as she sensed that Uchiha En's state was off, she would immediately interrupt his absorption of Senjutsu Chakra.
Thus, after a month, Uchiha En finally successfully absorbed Natural Energy and condensed Senjutsu Chakra by balancing Natural Energy, physical energy, and spiritual energy in a 1:1:1 ratio.
The moment Senjutsu Chakra appeared, black markings emerged at the corners of Uchiha En's eyes.
The appearance of the Sage's facial markings meant that Uchiha En's Sage Mode had been completely developed successfully.
"Is this Sage Mode? What a peculiar power," Uchiha En muttered to himself after sensing the changes in his body.
Upon entering Sage Mode, Uchiha En's most direct feeling was that his connection to this world became closer, and his perception greatly improved as a result.
Then there was the amplification of Ninjutsu by Sage Mode. After using Natural Energy, Uchiha En felt that the power of his Ninjutsu had increased significantly, and Natural Energy also seemed to be able to enhance the power of Kekkei Mōra.
However, just as Uchiha En was about to instantly move to the Forest of Death to test this power, he suddenly realized that his Sage Mode had already been dispelled.
"17 seconds. It's not bad for the first time entering Sage Mode to last 17 seconds," Asana said from the side.
Uchiha En was stunned by the remark. Was his Sage Mode duration that short? What good was that?
