Chapter 283: Ryuchi Cave’s Trial
"If you are in a hurry, I will tell you about it now, but if you are not, you should go back for the time being. Once I have sorted out the information, I will give it to you through Minato-kun." Fukasaku said to Nagasawa.
"Then let's do as Fukasaku-sama said. I am not in a hurry anyway." Nagasawa said with a smile.
"Yes." Fukasaku nodded and said, "However, I advise you to reconsider your plan to create a new Sage Mode. Sage Mode is equally strong regardless of from which Sage Region you learn it. And creating a new Sage Mode is very dangerous."
The reason why Fukasaku said these words to Nagasawa was not because he wanted Nagasawa to Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode so that Nagasawa favoured Mount Myoboku.
It was because practicing Sage Mode was really dangerous. Nagasawa was Minato's good friend, and Minato was Jiraiya's disciple, so Fukasaku did not mind giving Nagasawa some pointers.
Fukasaku pointed to a yellow oil waterfall. There were many giant toad statues in front of the waterfall. They looked alive, which probably made people think that its sculptor was very skilled.
"Do you know how those stone statues came about?"
"What do you mean? They look alive and very detailed, as if they are made from a real toad. The sculptor must be veryskilled." Nagasawa said, pretending to be stupid.
Although he knew that the truth was that those statues were the people who failed to learn Sage Technique, he could not say it because he had never been to Mount Myoboku. It wouldn't make sense if he knew about it
"Alive, huh? That's because those statues are not made by humans at all. They are all made of the people who failed to learn Sage Technique, so it's not a surprise if they look alive."
"Learning Sage Mode under someone's guidance was dangerous, let alone creating your own Sage Technique. Are you sure you want to do that?"
