Naruto: Reborn With Combat Simulation Space

"That guy?" Orochimaru instantly understood what Tsunade meant.

He frowned and asked, "You want Kazuki to go to the battlefield?"

"But he is nominally still in the village. He usually trains in Shikkotsu Forest, and no one cares. But if he is arranged to come here, then he would be leaving the village without cause, which would not look good. Besides, he is still just a child."

Orochimaru didn't doubt Kazuki's strength. He might even be stronger than him. With such strength, Orochimaru didn't know what to say about him not going to the battlefield.

There's nothing wrong with protecting children and the potential of the new generation, but is Kazuki a normal child?

If he were called to the battlefield, even if it helped them, it would cause a lot of trouble for Kazuki.

Some Ninja taboos must be handled carefully.

Tsunade gave Orochimaru an exasperated look and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Is Sarutobi-sensei going to say anything? With you, me, and Jiraiya vouching for him, how could there be a problem?"

"To be precise, I'm having Katsuyu reverse-summon Kazuki here. Is Kazuki a ninja of Konoha? No, he is my summoning beast."

At this, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were dumbfounded. Good heavens, could it be calculated like that?

However, considering the current situation, neither of them said much.

Orochimaru scribbled a few words on a scroll, then summoned a small white snake, tied the scroll to its body, and the small white snake disappeared from the tent. He had left some contingencies in Konoha, and necessary information could be transmitted through this channel.

This was all he could do for now. He trusted that Hiruzen would not disappoint him.

"Let's go! We should head over first!" Orochimaru took a deep breath and looked at Tsunade.

Hanzo and Sunagakure uniting had caught them off guard.

It's not that these two villages couldn't unite, but the Land of Rain's previous actions touched upon the interests of the Daimyo.

For Sunagakure not to deal with the Land of Rain, and now to unite with them, were they trying to invite trouble from the Daimyo?

Sunagakure must be desperate for money, right?

They really would stop at nothing for a bit of profit.

Orochimaru recalled what Hiruzen had privately complained to them about Sunagakure before.

It was said that Sunagakure got its start by being unscrupulous. During the First Five Kage Summit, other countries, including Konoha, were disgusted by the First Kazekage.

Just Hanzo alone was enough to make them feel tricky. He hoped that Kazuki wouldn't mess up.

…

In Shikkotsu Forest, a Rasengan filled with dense Wind Chakra landed on a large mountain, instantly reducing a large section of the mountaintop.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the mountaintop, Katsuyu knew that Kazuki's Sage Art was complete.

Hashirama possessed Wood Release, which was his unique ability, primarily a result of the Ashura Chakra within him.

Katsuyu knew that what was strong was not the Wood Release itself, but Hashirama's Wood Release. His terrifying Yang Release Chakra was the key.

Kazuki was not Hashirama. As a member of the Uchiha clan and a reincarnation of Indra Chakra, mastering the Sharingan was actually the path he should have taken.

Susanoo was a jutsu with a very high upper limit, and during this time, Katsuyu's understanding was constantly being refreshed by Kazuki.

Kazuki truly mastered Susanoo. Speaking of which, it is said that Kaguya's Ten-Tails was fought by Hagoromo using Susanoo.

This shows that Susanoo's upper limit is much higher than most people imagine. If truly developed to its extreme, it would not be weaker than Wood Release.

And Kazuki's incorporation of Senjutsu Chakra into the Rasengan also greatly enhanced his strength.

"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, it's pretty much successful."

Kazuki looked at the destruction caused by Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and nodded with satisfaction.

Although Naruto would have more powerful Rasengan in the future, in the mid-stage, Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken definitely possessed immense destructive power, even Kazuki was very satisfied with it.

He would slowly develop subsequent Rasengan later.

Kazuki took a deep breath, and a large amount of Natural Energy surged in. The previously consumed Senjutsu Chakra replenished.

During this time, Kazuki had been diligently familiarizing himself with and perfecting his Sage Mode. He temporarily found it difficult to maintain Sage Mode permanently. At least at his current stage, with his Chakra control, he couldn't do it.

After all, when he slept, he couldn't control Natural Energy.

He still couldn't make the act of creating Senjutsu Chakra an instinct.

However, he could now enter Sage Mode relatively easily, unlike Naruto, who could only maintain Sage Mode for five minutes and later needed Shadow Clone to absorb Natural Energy.

He could absorb Natural Energy during battle. To others, this might seem distracting, but Kazuki was different.

After entering Sage Mode, his already excellent sensory abilities were elevated, and his Sharingan also received a boost.

Even if he needed to divert some mental focus to absorb Natural Energy, his mental engagement was much higher than in his normal state.

This is actually similar to Jiraiya relying on the two Toad Sages, and Naruto relying on the Nine-Tails to absorb Natural Energy and create Senjutsu Chakra, but they rely on external forces, while Kazuki relies entirely on himself.

Kazuki felt that the Uchiha clan seemed suited for Sage Mode.

Of course, the prerequisite was to control the unstable factor of the Sharingan, which would exclude nearly 99.99% of the Uchiha, but once successful, the benefits would be enormous.

After entering Sage Mode, his Susanoo could be activated to the second stage. This was also a qualitative improvement.

Unfortunately, the Susanoo he initially envisioned had not yet been developed. The plan to use Sage Art: Susanoo without entering Sage Mode had temporarily fallen through.

He would have to wait until the Sharingan continued to develop for the superiority of this Susanoo to be displayed.

If he didn't master this move, entering Sage Mode in the future, then activating Susanoo, and then activating Sage Art: Susanoo to fight, would put an immense burden on him.
