ALL NOVEL Chapter 64: Sage Mode and…
Two days later.
The news of what happened in Konoha had already spread among the great and small nations!
At the same time, the existence of the organization 'Revolutionary Army' also spread. Mostly, it was about their prowess in the war as they moved through the Hidden Rain Village.
The fact that even ninjas from the three nations were at a loss because of this organization caused quite a stir...
Obviously, this would leave the five great nations extremely furious, finding it unpleasant, as it hurt their pride. But why was nothing done?
Of course, what shocked everyone the most was the fact that Konoha declared Hiruzen Sarutobi, the former Third Hokage, a rogue ninja, issuing an S-class bounty—high enough to tempt many...
[1+4=5]
In the Hidden Rain Village, Tanaka, who had completed all the preparations, used his Fuuinjutsu to create a scroll, which he placed in his inventory.
"Poof!"
With the sound of a smoke bomb exploding, it didn't take long for the scene around him to change. Soon, he appeared in a familiar room.
Looking around, he saw several of his shadow clones.
"Welcome back." One of the clones spoke with an amused smile.
With an ironic smile, Tanaka made a hand sign, and soon all the clones in the room were dispelled.
In an instant, Tanaka's mind was overwhelmed; even for him, it was something that made him fall to his knees, groaning in pain.
After all, it had been 12 days since those shadow clones were created. And during those days, they didn't just sit around doing nothing; they trained, read, etc.
This not only triggered the increase of some skills but also boosted his attributes.
However, although it was a pain that made him want to simply hit his head on the ground and pass out, after 10 seconds, it all disappeared like magic.
"Fuuuh~"
Taking a deep breath, standing up, Tanaka murmured: "I admire Naruto even more, being able to handle such a thing without even flinching. And he can even create hundreds, even thousands of clones... It's simply ridiculous..."
No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think he could endure it alone without the help of a gamer's mind.
Of course, it's important to consider that his mental load was absurd, mainly due to the memories of several clones that existed for 12 days.
Feeling better, he observed the two new passive skills he had unlocked.
[The skill [Intermediate Strength] has been awakened due to having STR greater than 200!]
[Intermediate Strength (Passive) Max Level]
[A skill granted only to those with STR above 200, allowing them to use their strength more efficiently and powerfully.]
[Effect: 150% increase in physical attack damage.]
[Effect: 100% increase in physical defense.]
[Effect: 50% chance to ignore the enemy's physical defense.]
[Effect: Increases STR by 50%.]
[The skill [Intermediate Dexterity] has been awakened due to having DEX greater than 200!]
[Intermediate Dexterity (Passive) Max Level]
[A skill granted only to those with DEX above 200, allowing them to use their dexterity more efficiently and powerfully.]
[Effect: 50% increase in critical chance.]
[Effect: 200% increase in critical attack damage.]
[Effect: 50% increase in speed.]
[Effect: Increases DEX by 50%.]
'No wonder I felt my strength increasing so much... It's because of these two passive skills...'
If before he stood out for his magical power, now his physical strength was catching up, even if just a little. At least it wasn't far behind.
With his current strength, Tanaka felt that he would be able to create a fissure in the ground with a simple punch, without even involving his hand with MP.
When he opened his status, he saw that there was still room for improvement...
[VIT: 231-> 291 (+2 +185%) ◄(+10)►]
And when he confirmed, a new notification appeared before his eyes.
[You have met the prerequisites to possess something that few have achieved: Sage Body. Warning! Warning! Sage Body will override Uzumaki Vitality. A fusion is recommended. Do you wish to proceed?]
'Yes,' he said mentally.
Soon, he felt a change in his body, as his cells began to be stimulated. Quickly, a burning sensation spread throughout his body.
The burning sensation was overwhelming; he forced himself not to groan in pain as his body turned red, as if he were inside a hot pot, being cooked alive like a crab.
When it finally ended, he saw two new pages appear.
[The skill [Uzumaki Sage Body] has been created by fusing Uzumaki Vitality and Sage Body!]
[[Uzumaki Sage Body] (Passive/Active) Max Level]

'So, my Natural Energy limit is 100 for now...' He wanted to try activating Sage Mode to see what it was like, but he wasn't in that much of a hurry.
'By the way, I wonder if I'll be able to use Wood Style now?' he thought with some anticipation.
At the same time, he was considering what would happen if Uzushiogakure became a target for the other villages. With his increase in strength, he felt his confidence rise.
