Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

As Konoha severely damaged the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja, the Ninja World entered a temporary peace.

This melee among the five major countries has entered the final negotiation stage.

No country wants to continue the war, and the issue that the five major countries are arguing most about right now is the allocation of resources after the war.

The five major countries found it difficult to reach an agreement on resource allocation and the negotiations were temporarily deadlocked.

However, all this has nothing to do with Uchiha Yi.

Over the past month, he has spent most of his time practicing Sage Mode.

After leaving Longdi Cave, he realized that not everywhere has such abundant natural energy.

Although natural energy is everywhere, it can be strong or weak.

There is plenty of natural energy in holy places like Ryuchi Cave, so his Sage Mode was so powerful that day.

After returning to Konoha, the natural energy around him dropped sharply, almost to one-third of that in Ryuchi Cave, and the speed of his Sage Mode training also slowed down.

"If I had known, I would have stayed in Longdi Cave for a few more days."

Uchiha Yi sighed, somewhat regretting that he left too hastily.

If I had known this, I would have stayed in Longdi Cave.

After shaking his head helplessly, he continued to practice the magic.

Natural energy can not only fuse fairy chakra, but also enhance the activity of cells and spirit, improve the human body and increase vitality.

After nearly two months of training, his health points have increased by more than 200 points.

……

A week later.

A white-haired figure wearing wooden clogs appeared at the gate of Konoha Village.

"I haven't been back for a long time. I really miss it."

Jiraiya looked at the gate of Konoha Village with a faint smile on his face. He didn't stay for long and went straight to the Hokage's office.

Several Anbu on duty at the Hokage Building were surprised to see Jiraiya and quickly saluted respectfully.

"Master Jiraiya, you are back?"

"Well, don't worry about it. I'll go talk to Hiruzen-sensei for a few words."

Jiraiya responded with a small nod before entering the Hokage's office.

In the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was busy dealing with a pile of documents. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Jiraiya? Why are you back?"

"Haha, old man, long time no see."

Jiraiya smiled easily and said casually, "I have something to deal with in the village. After I finish it, I will continue to travel. By the way, how is the village recently? Is everything okay?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pen in his hand and looked at Jiraiya, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and said: "The village has been relatively stable in recent years, Minato has done a great job, and many outstanding younger generations have emerged in the village..."

"Jiraiya, please stay and help me."

"Uh……"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and grinned, "I have other things to do when I come back this time. Let's talk about it after I'm done."

"You guy..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then go and do your thing, but remember to come and have a drink with me in the evening."

"I know, old man."

Jiraiya nodded, then he turned and left the office, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen alone in the room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the figure walking away outside the door, feeling both relieved and helpless.

……

In a corner of the Uchiha residence, there is a luxuriously decorated courtyard. This is the courtyard that Fugaku gave to Uchiha Yi.

The villa covers a large area, with beautiful scenery and exquisite decoration, but since Uchiha Yi lives alone, it seems a bit empty.

At this time, Uchiha Yi Zheng was sitting alone in the spacious courtyard practicing.

He closed his eyes, relaxed his whole body, felt the flow of natural energy around him, and slowly integrated it into his own chakra.

"Da da……"

The sound of subtle footsteps was heard.

A black ninja cat appeared silently and jumped to Uchiha Yi's side.

"Master Yi, two people are looking for you. They are at the door." said the black ninja cat.

"Who is it?" Uchiha Yi opened his eyes and asked softly.

"Minato Namikaze and an unknown white-haired uncle." Shinobi Neko answered.

"White-haired uncle?"

Uchiha Yi was a little confused. He stopped practicing and said to the Ninja Cat: "Go open the door and let them in."

"Meow--"

Shinobi Neko nodded, turned and left the yard.

Not long after, as the footsteps approached, Uchiha Yi saw the two visiting guests.

When he saw the appearance of the person coming, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Minato Namikaze walked in front, and the man following behind him was burly, and the most eye-catching thing was the word "Oil" on his forehead.

Uchiha Yi immediately recognized the identity of the middle-aged man.

The three ninjas, Jiraiya.

Uchiha Yi stood up immediately.

"Yi, this is my teacher, Jiraiya," Minato introduced with a smile.

"Hello, Lord Jiraiya! I didn't expect you to visit in person." Uchiha Yi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Hello, Yi. I have heard your name many times."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes slightly, looked deeply at Uchiha Yi, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

"I feel the fluctuations of natural energy around me. Are you practicing immortal arts?"

Uchiha Yi nodded, somewhat surprised that Jiraiya could detect this so keenly, and replied: "Yes, Lord Jiraiya, I am indeed practicing Senjutsu."

"Where did you learn the senjutsu? Was it the Ryuchi Cave that Orochimaru took you to?"

"Yes."

"Are you Orochimaru's new disciple?"

Jiraiya was slightly surprised.

Being able to be taken to Ryuchi Cave by Orochimaru to practice immortal arts, the relationship between him and Uchiha Yi is definitely not simple.

"No, I just exchanged interests with Orochimaru."

"Is that right?"

Jiraiya's eyes flickered and he had many guesses in his mind.

"You absorb natural energy very quickly. It seems that you have mastered the Sage Mode of the Ryuchi Cave. How about that? Do you want to learn about the immortal arts of Myoboku Mountain?"

"Of course, if I may."

Uchiha Yi answered without hesitation.

The magic arts of the three holy places each have their own disadvantages. If there is a chance, he would also like to study another different immortal mode.

Jiraiya smiled slightly and said, "I can take you to Myoboku Mountain. In fact, this is why I came to see you."

"Why are you looking for me? What does this mean, Jiraiya-sama?"

"The great sage of Mount Myōboku wants to see you."

"What? Is it the Immortal who wants to find Yi?"

When Minato heard the words "Great Immortal", a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Uchiha Yi was even more confused.

"why the need to see me?"

"You'll know when you go there."

Jiraiya didn't answer directly, then he looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "It's already noon, let's go have a drink together, I know there's a very good izakaya in Konoha."

Jiraiya paused and said with a smile, "The shop assistants there are all very sexy."

After hearing this, Minato showed a helpless smile on his face, "Teacher Jiraiya, Yi He is only thirteen years old."

"What's wrong with thirteen? When I was thirteen, I had already..."

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Minato interrupted Jiraiya with a serious expression and pulled him out.

"Haha, Yi, let's go together. Boys of your age are very popular among the older sisters!"
