Chapter 143: Sage Art SeedThe Great Toad Sage's attitude toward him was actually quite good, which made Naruto feel somewhat relieved; it seemed things had not reached such a terrible state yet.Moreover, he could be said to have no ability to resist right now; if the other party wanted to take his life, Naruto would have no good way to stop it.This made Naruto feel that life was unpredictable. Originally, he had so many trump cards, but now? Apart from his Rubber Body, he had no other skills left.Since things were already like this, Naruto decided to take the initiative and ask the Great Toad Sagewhat his stance was. He asked directly, "Toad Sage, it is well known that you possess the ability to see the future.""Then you must surely know my intention in coming here! I wonder if you, elder, support me? Or rather, what is your attitude toward my actions?"The Great Toad Sage did not answer his question directly, but instead spoke as if to himself, "Things are truly interesting! However, this also makes the future even harder to foresee.""As for your identity, I haven't quite figured it out yet. At the very beginning, you were the fated child of prophecy who would bring about a great transformation to the Ninja World.""But later, although I couldn't figure out what happened, you transcended the control of this world. You seem to be living here as an outsider, and the destiny of this world has changed because of you.""What is even more interesting is that what you see seems to be even further away than what I see. Instead, you, an outsider, are helping this world resist the invasion of another group of outsiders.""Your methods are completely different from those of the child of prophecy; they are more radical, even contrary, but it seems only this way is the best answer.""Regardless of how you put it, you are protecting this world, and it seems you are right. No matter which aspect I consider, I have no reason to oppose you. On the contrary, I must give you some help.""Rest assured! The things you are worried about will not happen. I will also have Fukasaku teach you the summoning contract and Sage Art."After hearing these words, Naruto finally felt relieved, but he quickly said, "Thank you very much, Toad Sage. I originally thought you wouldn't approve of my methods!""But now, I have something I need your help with. That is, on the way here, in order to escape that strange suction force, I ended up overdrawing my body.""My current situation is very bad, and the Chunin Exams are in a few days. This matter is very important to me. Could I trouble you to help me recover?"Who would have thought that after hearing his words, the Great Toad Sage shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm powerless to help with this request.""In order to escape, you condensed an extremely powerful Shadow Clone. This act actually damaged your source power.""According to normal circumstances, your current so-called 'main body' is more like a clone. Damage to the source is very difficult to recover from; it requires a long time to heal.""Furthermore, when a clone is dispelled, its power should return to the main body. But since you are still in this state, there are two possibilities.""First, your Shadow Clone has not dissipated yet, but I think this possibility is very small. After all, you felt that terrifying pressure; the chance of your clone surviving in front of it is basically zero.""Then there is the second possibility, which is that it was a special space, or perhaps another world.""In short, even if your clone dissipated, it would not return to the main body, so that part of the Chakrayou split off cannot come back.""However, you don't need to worry too much. Although I cannot help you fully recover, I can leave a seed inside your body.""This is somewhat similar to the Sage Art pool of Shikkotsu Forest. When the time comes, you only need to continuously absorb natural energy, and you will naturally cultivate the Sage Art of my Mount Myōboku to perfection.""Moreover, I can also awaken the Nine-Tailedinside you in advance. As for your own Chakrasource, you will need to recover it slowly."After speaking, the Great Toad Sage opened its large mouth, and a fist-sized light orb emerged from within. This orb floated over to in front of Naruto.Naruto reached out and caught the orb, then he looked up at the Toad Sage, wanting to ask how this thing should be used.Facts proved that the more you fear something, the more willing it is to develop in that direction. This huge orb, just as Naruto had thought, needed to be swallowed directly into his stomach.Looking at the fist-sized ball in front of him, Narutomuttered in his heart. Fortunately, he had a Rubber Body, and his mouth could open wide; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to swallow it.He thought that a short pain is better than a long one, so he opened his mouth wide, used his Rubber Body's great mouth, and swallowed the big ball in one go.Because this thing was very hard, he couldn't chew it up and could only swallow it directly. Naruto had no other choice and tried hard to swallow it down.The trajectory of the orb could be seen clearly, and Naruto's neck was stretched to be quite thick. This choked him terribly, and breathing even became a bit difficult.Naruto held his breath, exerted force again, and swallowed it directly. A feeling of smooth comfort instantly spread throughout his whole body.Miraculously, after the orb reached his abdomen, it actually became smaller. It just stayed inside Naruto's body like this, right next to the Nine-Tailed.A very strange power emanated from the orb. This energy circled above the Nine-Tailed for a while, and then went directly into its head.A layer of green light appeared on the Nine-Tailed's body. This energy seemed to travel throughout its entire body. After finishing all this, the Nine-Tailed slowly showed signs of waking up.Kurama slowly opened its eyes. From its gaze, it appeared a bit confused. The first thing it noticed was that there was a mysterious little ball in front of it.Moreover, it seemed that the power that had just awakened it came precisely from here. It began to try to examine it, wanting to figure out what exactly this thing was."Kurama, you're finally awake. Huh? What are you being so sneaky about?" At this moment, Narutosuddenly arrived. As soon as he spoke, he gave the Nine-Tailed a big fright.It patted its chest in a very human-like manner, then complained, "How come you came without saying hello? You scared me to death.""You're asking me what I'm doing? I want to ask you, did you eat something strange again? And what is this little green ball? I was just studying it
