In the season of melting snow and ice, everyone is preparing for the new year.

Aoba Yamashiro, Genma and other teachers are worried about the students' middle ninja exams, and Moonlight Blaster is preparing to officially become a teacher at the ninja school, and he has to help take care of the children in his spare time.

Most Konoha ninjas are still living their lives as usual.

Mizuki has a lot to do, but it's almost all dealt with urgently.

Outside of work, Mizuki will try to find some time to tutor Sakura's practice, and after a while, there may not be much time.

Sakura's practice of immortal mode is slightly smoother than Mizuki's.

It's not that Sakura is more suitable for the fairy mode than Mizuki, it's more because Mizuki is carving out a new path on her own, while Sakura is moving forward step by step on the road of maturity.

With the foundation of controlling the tailed beast Chakra, at least there are not too many obstacles in the cultivation of sensing natural energy, and it is not like Mizuki who has a defect in perception because of the difference in soul.

With the assistance of Mizuki, the two-pronged cultivation method has not progressed by leaps and bounds, but it has not taken any detours.

The master is the one who preaches and receives karma to solve doubts, but it is limited to ninjutsu, and the troubles of young girls, Mizuki can't help at all.

If possible, Mizuki still hopes that after a year or two, Sakura will practice Immortal Mode to minimize the risks.

But the situation is out of control, if Sakura's strength can't be improved quickly now, in the fourth ninja war, there will be a dozen soy sauce roles.

Seals, enchantments, and medical ninjutsu may be somewhat useful, but combat power is really not much use.

Cultivating the immortal mode, naturally it is not possible to fluctuate in Konoha Village, and the fluctuation of a large number of chakras will inevitably attract the attention of some people.

The land of the sea, with its oceanic climate closer to the south, results in a vibrant greenery all year round, and the air is warm even in the colder early spring.

"This isn't the Land of Fire!"

The obviously different scenery surprised Sakura-chan, who was suddenly brought here by Mizuki.

"This is the land of the sea!"

This is where the ruins of Mizuki's abandoned laboratory were after destroying the Heavens.

"Time and space ninjutsu is so convenient, it's thousands of miles away so quickly!"

was still stunned, so he went abroad.

"Just find a place to sit!"

In this place that is obviously an abandoned small fishing port, Sakura found a clean wooden pier, and saw Mizuki take out a large chair with a back from the time space warehouse and sit down, blowing the sea breeze comfortably, with a comfortable expression, as if she had come out to travel and relax.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing!"

Sakura quickly shook her head.

Mizuki didn't pay much attention to it, took out a cup of hot coffee, and after taking a few sips, he said to Sakura with satisfaction:

"According to the plan, I should teach you to practice the Immortal Mode today. ”

"Can it now?"

But in the future, before I agree that you can practice alone, don't try it yourself, the immortal mode is different from other ninjutsu, if something goes wrong, you will die, even if you are lucky enough to survive, it may be more uncomfortable than death!"

"Got it!"

Mizuki has stressed the danger many times.

"The principle of Immortal Mode is simple. The ninja refines the physical power and spiritual power in the body to get the chakra that can perform ninjutsu, and the immortal mode is to mix the spiritual power, physical strength and natural energy in the same proportion, you can get the immortal chakra, and then cast the immortal mode!"

After saying this, Mizuki squinted his eyes and drank coffee quietly!

After a moment of silence, Sakura couldn't help but ask:

"It's as simple as that?"

The previous practice was so cautious, and I practiced with trepidation for several months, and I didn't want to finish a sentence at the last moment.

"Isn't that what ninjas are all about?

"Then should I just just go down to practice?"

"Probably not!"

"I knew it!"

The little girl muttered dissatisfiedly, if it was so simple, why were there so few ninjas in immortal mode?

"Rest easy, before I officially teach you the Immortal Mode, there is some knowledge to teach you, I hope you will keep it in mind. It's okay if you don't understand it now, but if you want to go further down the ninja path, you'll need it sooner or later. ”

"Please advise!"

"Don't be nervous! It's too early to tell you this, but I'm afraid I won't have time to teach you in the future, so I'll tell you in advance. ”

Mizuki paused,

"After you learn the Immortal Mode, you will encounter some problems that only the upper ninja elites who can't find the way forward will encounter, in words you can understand, that is the way of ninja!"

"I know this, the Will of Fire, taught by the teacher when I was in the ninja school!"

"Well, I can't say wrong, but there are still some differences from what I said!"

Mizuki hesitated for a moment before saying,

"Chakra is the power to perform ninjutsu, but it's only a superficial application. When a ninja reaches the limit of their conventional strength, sooner or later they have to find a breakthrough in their spirits, and this is when the true essence of Chakra comes into play—the bond that connects the spiritual powers. After the upper ninja, spiritual practice is more important than ninjutsu practice. At this time, you must have a strong mind that is enough to support yourself to take a step closer. ”

"There's nothing wrong with the Konoha spirit and the will of fire, but this is what someone else has taught you, and everyone's understanding may be different, and you have to find your true inner thoughts. ”

The original agreement to accept Sakura as a disciple was not only because of Kakashi's request, but also because of Sakura's tenacious will and fairly worthy spiritual qualities.

"What do you think?"

"That's up to you! What do you want to do when you become a ninja, learn ninjutsu, and take great risks to learn the Immortal Mode?"

"I can't answer such a sudden question!"

"You think slowly, I can wait!"

It's not that Mizuki wants to spy on the little girl's privacy, but once the practice of the immortal mode begins, the oppression of the spirit by the natural energy will not stop, and if there is not enough tenacity to resist it, it will be a big problem.

With the help of the cultivation of controlling the tailed beast Chakra, Mizuki also controls the progress at all times, and the damage of natural energy to Sakura should not be too great, but this still requires enough consciousness to do it, and with the attitude of learning powerful ninjutsu to practice the immortal mode, the large pile of stone frogs in Miaomu Mountain and the losers who have become snake immortal feces are a lesson from the past.

Mizuki, who expected this scene, had already prepared for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the spring in the south was really a good place for vacation!
