Ninja World: I Have a Life Simulator

Chapter 205: Naruto Can't Use Sage Mode? I'll Give You a Sage Mode Experience Card



In Iwagakure, a team of patrolling ninjas was conducting their usual patrol along the border while casually chatting with each other from time to time.

"Sigh, the situation is getting worse. I didn't expect such a terrifying organization like Akatsuki to be hiding in the ninja world!" A middle-aged Iwa-nin sighed deeply as he spoke.

"Who wouldn't agree? What's even scarier is that every member of the Akatsuki is an S-rank rogue ninja, and their leader is said to possess the legendary Rinnegan!" added another older ninja, nodding in agreement.

"This time, during the Jonin Exam, our village cooperated with Akatsuki in attacking Konoha. Konoha Village won't just let this slide, will they?" a young ninja expressed his concerns.

"Of course not! The other village's ninjas who went to the Konoha exams all returned safely, but our people were captured!"

"You might not know yet, but a few days ago, a patrol said that Konoha returned our people- they've already crossed into the Land of Earth, but they haven't reached the village yet!"

"Oh? Really? Who are the ones bringing them back?"

"There are two of them, and they're no small fry! One is the legendary Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake, and the other is the current Hokage's son, Uchiha Sasuke, who awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan during the attack!"

"The Mangekyō? I heard that Uchiha Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan only awakened after fighting Uchiha Akira, right?"

"But, come to think of it, both Konoha and Akatsuki are terrifyingly strong!"

"Indeed, Uchiha Akira... no one expected him to be able to use Wood Release. There's even a rumor that he used Deep Forest Emergence!"

"But the leader of the Akatsuki is even more terrifying. The legendary Rinnegan, said to be possessed by the Sage of Six Paths, was able to overpower Uchiha Akira!"

"These two are probably beyond the level of ordinary shinobi-they're more like the current gods of the ninja world, right?"

As the Iwa-nin continued their patrol, they casually chatted about the issues facing their village and Konoha's situation, clearly very interested in the recent developments.

After all, the biggest news in the ninja world lately was Konoha's attack, the power of the Akatsuki, and the reappearance of Uchiha Akira's Wood Release.

While they were talking, suddenly, the sound of fierce battle came from a distance.

The Iwa-nin immediately stopped their conversation, exchanged glances, and quickly headed toward the direction of the battle!

On the other side, Uchiha Akira and his group were on high alert after entering the Land of Earth, fully aware of the surrounding dangers.

Nagato himself was coming to attack, so Uchiha Akira was on full alert!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Konan's heart was also filled with unease. She didn't know how to feel about Nagato coming to rescue her.

In truth, she probably hoped that Nagato wouldn't appear.

Because if Nagato did appear, it would prove once again that Uchiha Akira's intelligence- gathering abilities were as terrifying as ever!

Wouldn't that mean everything Uchiha Akira said was true?

However, according to Murphy's Law, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to occur.

Sure enough, in no time at all, several figures blocked the path of Uchiha Akira and his group! They were all clad in black robes with red clouds, all had black rods sticking out of their bodies, and they all possessed the Rinnegan!

These six figures were none other than the Six Paths of Pain, controlled by Nagato!

They consisted of Deva Path, Preta Path, Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, and Naraka Path!

"As expected, Nagato really showed up, and just as Uchiha Akira predicted-right on time!" Konan sighed deeply as she looked at the Six Paths of Pain.

Uchiha Akira's intelligence capabilities were terrifying.

Did this mean that every move Akatsuki made was already in Uchiha Akira's grasp?

She didn't even know where he got his information from. Could Akatsuki really defeat him if they were to become enemies?

"Uchiha Akira, we meet again!" Deva Path Pain spoke up, greeting Uchiha Akira.

As he spoke, Deva Path Pain's gaze swept over Konan.

Seeing that she was only bound by a chakra-sealing jutsu and hadn't been harmed or tortured, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Yes, we meet again. I'm guessing you're not here for sightseeing?" Uchiha Akira replied. "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

While Uchiha Akira and Deva Path Pain were speaking, Naruto Uzumaki wasted no time. He immediately unleashed a Rasenshuriken and hurled it straight toward the Six Paths of Pain! The phrase "actions speak louder than words" described Naruto perfectly at this moment! From the previous attack on Konoha by Pain, it was clear-they were Konoha's enemies. And if they were enemies, what was the point of talking? Just attack.

That was Naruto's mindset!

However, although the Rasenshuriken was powerful, even considered an ultra S-rank technique, at that moment, Preta Path Pain appeared.

He stretched out both hands toward the incoming Rasenshuriken!

"Is he trying to catch my Wind Release: Rasenshuriken with his bare hands? Is this a joke?"

Seeing Preta Path Pain extend his hands toward the Rasenshuriken, Naruto was stunned. This technique of his looked quite formidable, right? And yet this guy was trying to catch it barehanded?

But to Naruto's growing disbelief, as the Rasenshuriken approached Preta Path, the entire technique began to distort.

In the next moment, it was completely absorbed by Preta Path, vanishing without a trace!

"What!? My Rasenshuriken was absorbed!?" Naruto's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Yes, right now, Naruto's strongest offensive ninjutsu was the ultra S-rank Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!

But that technique had just been rendered completely ineffective? Naruto was starting to question his abilities.

"It seems each of them has a unique ability. One of them can manipulate gravity and repulsion, and this one can absorb ninjutsu?" Uchiha Akira deduced, sharing this information

with Naruto.

"Huh? Absorbing ninjutsu? How are we supposed to fight against that!?" Naruto's face fell

upon hearing this.

After a brief moment of thought, Naruto summoned the chakra of the Nine-Tails!

He formed another Rasenshuriken infused with Nine-Tails chakra and hurled it again!

Without surprise, this too was absorbed by Preta Path!

"We're finished..." Seeing this, Naruto shook his head in frustration.

Both his chakra and the Nine-Tails chakra were being absorbed, which meant there was no

way to fight anymore, right?

"Uchiha Akira, release Konan, and we can talk this through. You've seen Preta Path's abilities," Deva Path Pain said, sensing that Uchiha Akira might be intimidated.

No matter what, Konan's safety was the priority!

"Sorry, is she that important to you? The more important she is to you, the less I can give her

up. After all, Hinata is still lying in Konoha's hospital!" Uchiha Akira responded, refusing the

offer.

"It seems we'll have to fight, then."

Realizing that Uchiha Akira was motivated by revenge, Deva Path Pain knew that further

words were pointless and readied himself for battle.

"Akira, how are we supposed to fight? Ninjutsu is completely useless!" Naruto, feeling overwhelmed by Preta Path's abilities, turned to Uchiha Akira for guidance. "Maybe Sage Mode can work. After all, Senjutsu chakra is entirely different from regular

chakra. Taijutsu should also be effective," Uchiha Akira pondered before answering Naruto. "But I'm not very good at taijutsu, and I haven't mastered Sage Mode yet!" Naruto's face turned even more grim upon hearing this.

Could it be that he wouldn't be able to help in this battle?

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Uchiha Akira smiled faintly at Naruto's distressed expression.

He had his own methods of amplification, such as the Eight Gates and Sage Mode!

Ever since mastering Sage Mode, the Eight Gates had become somewhat redundant.

But now, Uchiha Akira felt this was the perfect opportunity to use both the Eight Gates and

Sage Mode at the same time!

If he fought alone, it would be a one-on-one battle against the Six Paths of Pain, and Naruto wouldn't be able to help much.

However, if he lent Sage Mode to Naruto, he'd have a capable ally!

Even without Sage Mode, Uchiha Akira could still use the Eight Gates!

In the state of opening seven gates, his use of Wood Release wouldn't differ much from the amplified version with Sage Mode.

Wood Release may be ninjutsu, but the wood itself is physical-Preta Path couldn't absorb all

the trees, right?

With that thought, Uchiha Akira activated his sharing ability and temporarily lent Naruto the

Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave!

"Alright, Naruto, activate Sage Mode! I'm counting on you in this fight!" Uchiha Akira said

after granting the ability.

Naruto took a deep breath, and within just a few moments, he successfully activated Ryūchi

Cave's Sage Mode.

Powerful chakra swirled around Naruto like a blue flame.

"So this is Sage Mode? It's so powerful!" Naruto's face showed utter astonishment as he experienced Sage Mode for the first time.

At the same time, Naruto was even more shocked that Uchiha Akira had been able to let him

use Sage Mode. How had he managed that?

"Sage Mode can be activated simultaneously with the Nine-Tails chakra, by the way!" Uchiha

Akira helpfully reminded Naruto.
