Among them, the most useful ones came from the Sage Mode of the three Holy Lands.
Sage Mode mainly comprehensively strengthened all aspects of one's abilities by absorbing external natural energy.
Ninjutsu, taijutsu, perception, recovery, and so on.
Goku did not care much about that bit of strengthening.
But the process by which Sage Mode absorbed external energy gave him a lot of inspiration.
After learning it, he could use Sage Mode to massively absorb external natural energy and quickly replenish the Ki consumed within his body.
This greatly increased his endurance in combat.
Especially the Golden Warrior state, which unexpectedly extended directly from five seconds to one minute.
It was mainly because his foundational strength was not strong enough; otherwise, the time to maintain this state would be even longer.
Intuition told him that if his basic combat power could be improved by about a thousand times, he might be able to maintain the Golden Warrior form for a long time.
Secondly, there was the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The Flying Thunder God Technique was not better than his improved Apparition, but it had a very good advantage.
That was being able to leave a special mark on the target in advance, allowing him to use this mark for positioning and teleportation.
For instance, when he sealed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki earlier, it was because he was worried that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki would leave the Earth and leave the sensing range of his Ki.
Because that way, he would no longer be able to locate the opponent through Ki.
Also, if Ōtsutsuki Isshiki hid in a different dimension, he would likewise be unable to perceive the opponent's Ki.
Previously, he used the Solar Flare to prevent Obito from entering the Kamui Dimension, precisely because once Obito entered the Kamui Dimension, he could not perceive Obito's Ki.
But now it was different, as long as he left a Flying Thunder God Mark on Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in advance.
By locating through this mark, no matter whether Ōtsutsuki Isshiki hid in outer space or in a different dimension, he could teleport over based on the location.
Moreover, after fusing with the Flying Thunder God, his teleportation distance also greatly increased.
The third useful Ninjutsu was the Lightning Release Chakra Mode from the Hidden Cloud Village.
By studying and researching this Ninjutsu, Goku successfully constructed a layer of armor composed of Ki on the surface of his body, greatly enhancing his defensive capabilities.
There was also Iwagakure's Light-Weight Rock Technique, which, when used in superposition with Gravity Magic, could greatly increase the gravity multiplier and improve the efficiency of exercise and training.
It could also accelerate flight with the Bukujutsu.
The remaining Ninjutsu would more or less have some effects, but none helped Goku as much as these few.
Meanwhile, while Goku traveled across the five major villages to concentrate on learning Ninjutsu, some things also happened in Konoha Village.
First, Orochimaru completely came to his senses, returned to Konoha, and started making amends for his past crimes with Yakushi Kabuto.
He used his research achievements over the years to assist Konoha's development, and also released the Reaper Death Seal, freeing his own hands and the Souls of the four Hokages from the belly of the Shinigami.
Secondly, after talking with Kakashi for a whole night, Obito learned the whole truth and finally woke up to reality.
At the cost of his own life, he activated the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu to resurrect Rin Nohara and the Fourth Hokage couple.
Since the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu could resurrect Uchiha Madara, who had been dead for so long, it could naturally also resurrect Rin Nohara.
It was just that Obito did not want the kind Rin Nohara to see his present self, so he wanted to use the Eye of the Moon Plan to achieve a World where Rin Nohara existed and everyone was happy.
Now, he decided to make up for the crimes he had committed by resurrecting his most guilt-ridden Master, the Fourth Hokage couple, and the Rin Nohara he loved most.
On the second day after Obito used his life to resurrect Rin Nohara and the Fourth Hokage couple, Uchiha Itachi secretly stole the Rinnegan.
And also at the cost of his own life, he activated the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu to resurrect some members of the Uchiha Clan.
Using the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu to resurrect the dead was not without conditions.
The stronger the strength, the longer they had been dead, and the greater the number of people, the greater the price required for resurrection.
And with Uchiha Itachi's strength, even if he paid with his entire life, he only resurrected his parents, Uchiha Shisui, and the family of Uchiha Izumi, who used to like him.
Finally, because of his identity as the leader of Amegakure and after finally coming to his senses upon learning the truth from Jiraiya, Nagato was released and returned to Amegakure.
However, the Rinnegan was not returned to Nagato; instead, a pair of ordinary human eyes were transplanted into him.
Of course, these had not much to do with Goku, and he didn't know those resurrected people anyway.
However, after knowing that this World had a Ninjutsu like Edo Tensei, he understood that resurrection in this World seemed, just like in his World, not very harsh.
Unlike the Harry Potter World and Fairy Tail, which had the Shinigami watching over them.
But he also did not bring the dragon balls over to resurrect those dead people.
On one hand, it was because Professor Dumbledore had instructed him not to easily use the dragon balls in other Worlds to avoid bad things from happening.
On the other hand, it was also because no one he cared about had died in this World.
He would not casually use the dragon balls just because some people he did not know died; it wasn't like a major catastrophe had occurred.
The most important point was that, through Heavenly God, he knew the dragon balls were not omnipotent.
The dragon balls could not resurrect people who died of normal aging and illness; only those who died due to accidents could be resurrected.
Also, people who had been dead for more than a year could likewise not be resurrected.
According to Heavenly God, after a year, most of the dead people in the Underworld had already gone to Reincarnation.
Over a month later.
Under the watchful eyes of the Five Kage, Goku, bringing Ōtsutsuki Isshiki along, boarded the golden ape god spaceship and gradually disappeared into the sky.
Watching the Planet where he had lived for thousands of years getting further and further away, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face was filled with a complex expression.
He knew that he probably would never have the chance to come back, nor the chance to obtain the God Tree fruit of this Planet.
If the Monster next to him won, the Ōtsutsuki Clan would probably be finished too.
If the Higher-Ups of the Ōtsutsuki Clan won, he would also accept punishment for failing the mission, and someone else would be sent here to replant the God Tree.
"Isshiki, stop looking, let's spar!"
As the spaceship left the Planet, Goku immediately and skillfully invited Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to accompany him in training, just like he and Thor did back then.
Hearing this, Isshiki helplessly turned around and nodded.
He couldn't beat him in a fight, nor could he escape; what else could he do?
"The Otsutsuki Planet is in danger!"
After a bout of sparring, he found that Goku's strength without transforming had increased again, and he secretly began to worry for his own Planet in his heart.
This was not his first time sparring; ever since the mark was placed on his body, he was often dragged along to spar.
And every time the sparring ended, he could feel Goku's strength increasing, and the magnitude of the increase was huge.
If it kept growing like this, even those Ōtsutsuki Higher-Ups who had consumed the God Tree fruit might not necessarily be able to beat him.
In fact, Goku's strength had indeed improved a lot during this period.
Because Shadow Clones went to learn Ninjutsu, his true body had actually been training at high intensity using increasingly powerful Gravity Magic for over a month.
Coupled with the fact that he learned Sage Mode, his Ki recovery speed was frighteningly fast, paired with special military ration pills.
His training efficiency had simply increased several-fold.
Now, his combat power in his normal state had nearly doubled compared to when he previously fought Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
In other words, even if Ōtsutsuki Isshiki opened his second stage, he wouldn't need to use the Breathing Style anymore and could still win.
