Chapter 144: Grasping the Key Point (2nd Update, Please Subscribe!)
Unconsciously, time has come to December, the last month of the year.
The conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure has never stopped, and the two sides have also fought several small-scale battles in the land of Tian, causing damage to each other.
Qianhe has also basically learned the process of the Sage Mode, and now what he lacks is real combat.
There are only two problems with his current Sage Mode. One is that due to physical factors, he cannot reach the perfect Sage Mode, and still has some frog-like characteristics, but this is harmless.
The other problem is a little more serious.
That is, if he absorbs natural energy and refines the Sage Chakra by himself outside Myoboku Mountain, it will be too slow, at least forty or fifty minutes.
Such a long time will really be a waste of time if there is an emergency.
So after practice, he has been able to merge with the two Sages.
This is a tricky way to let the two Sages stand on his shoulders and refine the Sage Chakra for him, so that it will not affect his battle.
However, the amount of chakra consumed by using the summoning technique to summon the two Sages at the same time is beyond Qianhe's imagination.
Just give him half of his chakra. If it weren't for the existence of [Redemption], this way of fighting would not be suitable for him at all.
In addition, if the two great sages merged with him, they would be able to feel the changes in the chakra in Qianhe's body. Using [Redemption] would have the risk of being discovered.
Of course, if he really encountered danger, Qianhe would still use it.
The method he currently thought of was to use the method of Naruto in the later generations, leaving a shadow clone in Myoboku Mountain to absorb natural energy and refine sage chakra.
However, Qianhe's chakra was not as much as Naruto's. Without affecting the battle outside, he could only leave a shadow clone in Myoboku Mountain.
He put the summoning scroll given by Fukasaku into the storage scroll tied to his left arm, and he could summon the shadow clone independently in battle.
"Master Fukasaku, Master Shima, thank you for your care during this period."
Qianhe bowed to Master Fukasaku and Master Shima. He had already notified the communication frog and would be summoned back to Konoha soon.
"Xiao Qianhe, be careful and come back more often when you have time." Fukasaku looked at Qianhe with concern. Through Jiraiya's communication during this period, he also knew how tense the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure was.
More than four months ago, Kumogakure held the Chunin Exam and invited Konoha to send Genin to participate. As a result, none of the four people who were guiding the Jonin did come back.
Faced with such a provocation from Kumogakure, the radicals of Konoha naturally couldn't sit still.
Under the orders of the Third Hokage and a high-level leader, Kawashima Kaede and the Third Hokage's son Sarutobi Shinnosuke each led a Jonin battalion, and two Jonin battalions were directly sent to the front line, plus 90 Chunins, and the two teams together had more than 100 people.
24 Jonins and 90 Chunins, among whom the elite Jonins were Kawashima Kaede, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Uchiha Taichi, and Hyuga Tengen.
This time, Konoha finally made its attitude clear.
However, Kumogakure's attitude was even tougher. Half a month ago, when Konoha felt that the situation had eased and was preparing to withdraw its troops, Kumogakure suddenly sent another 100-man brigade.
For a time, the ninja army stationed in Kumogakure in the land of Tianguo had exceeded 300 people.
The conflict between the two sides further escalated, and the Fourth Ninja World War was imminent.
The reason why Fukasaku Sage told Qianhe was also out of worry, fearing that a war would break out, and then it would be unknown when the war would end.
"Boy, if you encounter danger, you must survive. When necessary, summon me and the old man through spiritualism. You still have a long future, don't die!"
Compared with Fukasaku Sage, Shima Sage's concern is much more direct.
"Yes, I know, thank you both..."
Bang!
Qianhe's voice turned into smoke and dissipated as soon as he finished speaking.
******
Konoha Village, in the yard of Qianhe's house.
Qianhe was summoned back by the communication frog Black Wind.
"Hey, Qianhe-chan." Heifeng waved and said hello to Qianhe.
"Hello, Heifeng, thank you for your trouble."
"Qianhe-chan, you're welcome. By the way, your daughter Karin was taken out to play by Ayane-chan, and the child was also with her. By the way, his name is Naruto."
"Okay, I see. Thank you for your hard work."
Qianhe heard this and knew that verbal thanks were not enough. As usual, she went home and prepared to take a bag of snacks from the refrigerator for Heifeng.
As a result, she opened the refrigerator and found that all the ice cream she had bought before was gone...
Obviously, no one else except Ayane could have such sweet fighting power.
Qianhe shook her head and laughed, and took another bag of potato chips to Heifeng.
After Heifeng left, Qianhe left home and came to the street.
It's easy to know that Ayane's so-called taking children out to play is generally a meatball shop.
"Speaking of which, she is really hard-working." Thinking of Ayane taking care of two children alone, Qianhe couldn't help laughing.
After having an unpleasant experience with the Third Generation, Qianhe made up his mind to learn the Sage Mode.
For the past six months, he has basically stayed in Myoboku Mountain. Because of the conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure, Kawashima Kaede began to perform high-level missions, and their team 7 basically had no missions.
Qianhe would only go home once every two weeks, and during this period, it was all thanks to Ayane who took care of Karin.
Later, Qianhe directly handed Naruto over to Ayane, and when he took Karin out to play, he would take Naruto with him.
I don’t know what agreement Mr. Jiraiya reached with the Third Generation, but the Third Generation did not take any measures against Ayane’s behavior of approaching the Jinchuuriki.
He came back a few times and asked about Naruto's current situation. Because Ayane often took him out with him, the people who threw stones at him disappeared.
Hearing this, Qian He looked helpless. When he took Naruto with him, he was obviously carrying a knife, but in the end, there were still children who wanted to die and bullied Naruto. However, he couldn't really cut them, he could only 'intimidate' them.
On the contrary, Ayin, the name of the great elder's granddaughter is really loud, and even the ANBU with 'root' are much quieter.
At first, Xiang Ling was too lazy to play with Naruto, a little kid, but when she learned that Naruto lost his parents when he was born, he immediately acted like a big sister and played with Naruto every day.
Naruto now comes to Qianhe's house basically every day to report.
...
"Xiang Phosphorus, eat less chocolate balls!"
"And you too, Naruto! Don't you remember that the two of you ate hurt food the day before yesterday? It made me take you two to the hospital in the middle of the night. Is it easy for me?"
"Sister Caiyin, then why are you fine eating more than a dozen skewers of meatballs?"
"Yeah, why can't we?"
"Hmph, you two don't have an indestructible stomach like mine, so why don't you imitate me?"
Qian He came to the meatball shop and heard Cai Yin complaining before he even entered the store. He seemed to see Cai Yin wrinkle her little nose and purse her mouth.
"It's Brother Qianhe!" Facing the gate and sitting opposite Caiyin, Xiang Ling was the first to notice Qianhe and waved directly.
However, Ayin did not look back, and said angrily to Xiang Lian: "Do you think you can deceive me for the fourth time with the same trick?"
"It's really Brother Qianhe!" At this time, Naruto also discovered Qianhe.
"Little Naruto, you've learned too much. This is the second time. I don't believe you anymore!" Ayin seemed determined not to look back, shaking her head repeatedly, and the twin ponytails on the back of her head swayed from side to side as the owner swayed.
Qianhe stepped forward and grabbed Caiyin's ponytail.
