In three months, Naruto emptied the Hidden Mist Village's entire reserve of Water Release and Ice Release Ninjutsu accumulated over generations.
Unfortunately, he couldn't leave for the time being because he had to teach Terumi Mei Sage Techniques.
So, this Shadow Clone teaching Terumi Mei Sage Techniques, in his spare time recently, began to study various water-attribute summoning beast breeding methods and various poison-making methods out of boredom.
During this time, Terumi Mei made great progress in her Sage Technique training.
Although she could only spare half a day each day to practice Sage Techniques, this was something that couldn't be forced anyway; the state of mind was very important.
Under the hand-in-hand guidance of a powerful teacher like Naruto, from initially losing control as soon as she tried to refine Sage Chakra, she could now sense Natural Energy on her own and then refine Sage Chakra independently.
And at this moment, what Terumi Mei was trying to do was to enter Sage Mode with her own ability.
At this moment, she seemed to be integrated into nature. Although she was in the Library, if one didn't look with their eyes, they wouldn't notice her existence.
Honestly, Terumi Mei's physical talent and learning ability were both very good. Coupled with his hand-in-hand teaching, it was normal to be able to do this in three months.
After all, it seemed that he had only spent less than a month to master Sage Techniques back then.
The physique of two Bloodline Limits couldn't compare to his Sage Body, but it was far beyond ordinary ninjas by a large margin.
Taking a look at Terumi Mei, who had accumulated more and more Sage Chakra in her body and was extremely close to success, Naruto couldn't help but start thinking about a slightly disrespectful question:
"So, what has Jiraiya-sensei been doing all these years? I remember he started practicing Sage Techniques when he was a kid, right? But now that he's at the age of Knowing the Mandate of Heaven, his Sage Techniques are still half-baked."
"Even if Jiraiya-sensei's physique is ordinary, it shouldn't be too bad if he can master Sage Techniques."
"Is it because he's been lost in the Ninja World, with too many distracting thoughts in his heart, which has led to slow progress in cultivation? Or is he missing a teacher as powerful as me? The Toads on Mount Myōboku aren't very good."
Just as Naruto's mind was racing, Terumi Mei finally accumulated enough Sage Chakra.
Under Naruto's gaze, a powerful aura emerged from her body, which was a sign of successfully entering Sage Mode.
Immediately afterward, slight changes appeared in her body, beginning to transform into the form of a Fox.
After all, it was the Nine-Tailed Sage Technique researched by Kurama. It was normal to turn into a Fox if it wasn't used perfectly. Even Naruto, who practiced it relatively perfectly, would have the characteristics of Fox pupils.
Just as Naruto was about to interrupt Terumi Mei to prevent her from further transformation, he saw her stabilize the aura on her own.
"I've mastered Sage Mode! I'm a Sage now too, Naruto-kun."
Opening her eyes, Terumi Mei turned her gaze to Naruto and said excitedly.
However, Terumi Mei, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice that Naruto's eyes were a little strange at the moment.
"Is there anything strange about me?"
Feeling uncomfortable from Naruto's gaze, Terumi Mei subconsciously touched her cheeks. Apart from the slight Fox whisker marks that appeared when she started practicing Sage Techniques, there was nothing strange.
This mark would disappear when the Sage Chakra in her body was exhausted.
Naruto didn't say much and pointed to the mirror next to her.
Terumi Mei subconsciously turned her gaze over.
Then, in the mirror, she saw a Fox Girl with delicate features, a petite figure, fair skin, Fox vertical pupils, charming eyes, Fox ears, and nine tails swaying behind her.
The Fox Girl's tail and ear hair were orange-yellow, and even Terumi Mei's original brown hair had turned orange-yellow at this moment.
Instantly, Terumi Mei was startled and took a step back involuntarily.
The Fox Girl in the mirror also took a step back at this moment.
She raised her hand and touched her ears and tail; they were real body parts, not an illusion.
Terumi Mei's mouth twitched, and she pointed at the mirror, disgruntled, "Why did it turn out like this? I clearly felt that I had successfully entered Sage Mode, just like the feeling when you helped me enter Sage Mode!"
Although this appearance is quite beautiful, it always feels strange.
"I learned this Sage Technique from a Fox. Maybe it varies from person to person. When I practiced, apart from the Fox's vertical pupils, I didn't have any other characteristics, but when it comes to you, it turns into this."
"Of course, it may also be because your Sage Techniques are not perfect enough. Practice more and improve your Chakra control, and your Fox ears and tail will disappear."
Naruto sized up Terumi Mei, whose charm value had increased by at least 50 points, and analyzed it with a serious face.
But secretly, Naruto was already laughing like crazy.
In the Sealing Space, Naruto nudged Kurama, who was burying his head in writing, with his elbow, and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha, come out and see Daji, hahahaha..."
Kurama was stunned for a moment and glanced at Naruto, who was practicing swordsmanship by the beach. There was nothing strange about that, right?
But when his gaze shifted to the Naruto of the Hidden Mist Village and he saw Terumi Mei, Kurama couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, he had the same reaction as Naruto, slapping the table and laughing wildly, "Hahaha, she really looks like Daji, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Girl, beautiful and alluring, captivating all living beings, she's got that vibe, hahaha..."
This was too much fun. It was the first time for both of them to discover that the Nine-Tailed Sage Technique they had created together based on the manga would turn out like this if practiced imperfectly.
However, compared to Jiraiya's ugly toad-like appearance, Terumi Mei's appearance not only didn't become ugly, but her charm value actually increased by a large margin.
Terumi Mei looked at herself in the mirror for a while, and the more she looked, the more beautiful she found herself.
After getting over the initial discomfort, she actually felt a little happy. This appearance is really appealing.
Although it sounds a bit narcissistic, Terumi Mei looked at herself in the mirror and felt like she was falling in love with this woman.
"However, this outfit doesn't quite match this appearance. I'll go change into something else later," Terumi Mei thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Naruto spoke, interrupting her, "You can be considered to have mastered this Sage Mode. Next, you just need to familiarize yourself with it. When you want to enter Sage Mode during battle, just create a Shadow Clone to help gather Natural Energy."
"Remember to practice more. Being able to enter Sage Mode instantly is considered Great Accomplishment. That's it, I have to go now."
After saying that, without waiting for Terumi Mei to try to keep him, he took the initiative to dispel the Shadow Clone and disappeared.
If he didn't leave, Naruto would probably burst out laughing.
And after the Shadow Clone was dispelled, Naruto, who was practicing swordsmanship by the beach, couldn't help but laugh wildly.
However, he forgot that he was practicing swordsmanship.
A wave crashed over and directly knocked him to the ground.
However, this still didn't alleviate Naruto's laughter.
Loud laughter continued to echo on the Beach.
