Naruto Returns From the Genshin Impact World

"This natural energy... something's off."

Fukasaku, the sage, looked gravely concerned, and Shima, the sage on the other side of Jiraiya's shoulder, nodded in agreement. As the Toad Sages of Mount Myoboku, their understanding of natural energy was profound, far surpassing those who hadn't practiced Senjutsu, so they could sense the anomaly.

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Jiraiya asked, puzzled.

"The problem... it's serious. We might not be able to let you enter Sage Mode under normal circumstances, and the Two Great Sage Techniques are unusable," Fukasaku observed carefully.

"It's the environment. Although I've just been summoned and don't know why this is happening, this situation severely affects our use of Senjutsu," Shima squinted, guessing at the cause of the problem.

The reason for this phenomenon was simple: the current environment wasn't normal but the battleground of Naruto and Sasuke.

Sasuke would automatically gather and absorb a vast range of lightning elements, while Naruto would gather and absorb wind elements. His domain would consume a large amount of water elements, and the blizzard domain would greatly suppress fire elements.

In other words, the environmental factors directly prevented the two great Toad Sages from absorbing three types of elemental forces. They could only absorb a small amount of fire and earth elements, completely different from the natural energy they usually absorbed.

Under normal circumstances, the two great Toad Sages absorb elemental powers of all attributes to enter Sage Mode, quite evenly. Even in special cases, the difference wouldn't be too significant.

However, this is not a normal situation. The water element has been used up by Naruto, who is the father of the wind element, and Sasuke, the father of the lightning element. They can both absorb and control elemental powers, and the wind and lightning elements in this area are under their control.

But the Toad Sages can only absorb elements, not control the natural forces. They use Senjutsu on the premise of taking the elemental powers first, then using them. Naruto and Sasuke's control over the elements is too strong, cutting off this process, so they can't use it from the root.

With three elemental powers missing and one fire element suppressed, how can they use Sage Mode? What can they give to Jiraiya to open Sage Mode?

"Hey, Toad Sage, where's your Senjutsu?"

Sasuke sensed something was amiss and looked at Jiraiya with confusion.

"Uh, there was a slight mishap."

Jiraiya said, scratching his head awkwardly.

He never dreamed that after spending so much time summoning the two great Toad Sages, they couldn't even enter Sage Mode. That was just too outrageous.

"Heh, Toad Sage, is that all?"

Sasuke scoffed with a smirk.

"Hahaha"

Jiraiya laughed dryly, quite embarrassed.

Seeing him mocked by Sasuke, Fukasaku Sage couldn't keep face either and coughed twice, saying, "Little Jiraiya, we still have natural energy brought from Mount Myoboku in our bodies. This energy should support you in a short battle, but if the fight drags on, we might be powerless."

"Then... please."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. Although the time he could stay in Sage Mode was shorter, as long as he could enter it, it wasn't a complete waste of a summon. Otherwise, it would be too disheartening.

Moreover, this mishap, along with his previous exchanges with Senjutsu practitioners like Naruto and Sasuke, had completely shaken the status of Mount Myoboku Senjutsu in Jiraiya's heart. He now firmly believed that Mount Myoboku Senjutsu wasn't meant for human use, and in some cases, it might not even be usable.

"Oh? It works?"

Sasuke crossed his arms, his smile teasing, but his attention was mainly on Urashiki, to avoid any mishaps.

"Enjoy."

'Urashiki' sat half-reclined in the sky, entering a state of watching the show as he looked at Jiraiya. He too wanted to see what kind of power this Toad Sage could wield.

Watching Jiraiya and the toad use Senjutsu felt like watching primitive people to him.

Only absorbing natural energy, not controlling external elemental forces; the absorbed natural energy is a fixed ratio of all elemental powers, and if the ratio is too large, they might directly turn into stone toads; without an organ to store and convert elemental powers, they still play with absorbing all elemental powers.

They've stepped into too many pitfalls!

Under everyone's gaze, Jiraiya's body underwent a noticeable toad transformation, his eyes turned into toad eyes, and his limbs into toad limbs. Correspondingly, Jiraiya's chakra fluctuations also became much stronger, it was Senjutsu chakra.

"Jiraiya."

Sasuke called out.

"What? Attracted by my handsome and dashing posture, are you? Yahahaha!" Jiraiya laughed heartily.

"Be careful not to get taken out in a second."

Sasuke sighed, saying helplessly.

"Ah?"

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then carefully sensed Sasuke and 'Urashiki,' his expression gradually darkening.

Sage Mode enhanced his sensory abilities, but having heightened perception didn't mean Jiraiya could instantly sense everything upon entering Sage Mode. Naruto and Sasuke's energies were subtle, so unless Jiraiya paid close attention, he wouldn't clearly feel their true strength. Even if he did focus, he still wouldn't perceive their full power.

Before entering Sage Mode, Jiraiya's perception was even blurrier. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought that he could rely on Shizune to buy time and then turn the tables against 'Urashiki' using his Sage Mode.

Ignorance breeds fear.

Now that he was in Sage Mode, his sensory abilities were stronger, but sensing them didn't seem like good news for him.

*Gulp.*

Jiraiya swallowed nervously, staring blankly at Sasuke, then back at 'Urashiki,' feeling his heart race.

"Didn't I warn you to be cautious? Instead, you're acting like a noob. Are you here to sell cuteness?" Sasuke berated the bewildered Jiraiya.

"Hehe..."

'Urashiki,' who was spectating, chuckled. With a single hand, he gathered intense ice and snow, forming a storm. The frozen tornado descended from the sky, roaring with reckless abandon.

"Hmm?"

Sasuke glanced at it, unfazed. He felt that this level of attack could be directly countered by the armored Susano'o. However, observing 'Urashiki's' actual movements was more critical.

"Uh-oh."

Unlike Sasuke, Jiraiya felt the pressure skyrocket when he saw the frozen tornado. His entire being seemed to tremble.

Quickly, he formed hand seals at lightning speed, coordinating with the two giant toad sages on his shoulders. Simultaneously, he expelled wind, fire, and oil—three different elemental forces—creating the ultra-powerful Sage Art: Fire Release.

"Sage Art: Goemon!"

A sea of scorching flames met the howling ice tornado, and endless steam billowed out.
