Of the many powers within the Naruto
0:02
universe, I have to say that one of my
0:04
favorites has got to be sage mode. Sage
0:06
mode involves the user sitting down and
0:09
focusing, drawing nature energy in to
0:11
balance with your own energy to increase
0:13
your strength and add a new layer of
0:15
depth to your njutsu. While I love
0:18
dojutsu, I am a sucker for senjutsu. Not
0:21
to mention that sage mode does grant the
0:23
user a new appearance in their eye, such
0:26
as is the case with toad style sage
0:28
mode. But what if Naruto himself were
0:31
born a sage? That is to say, what if the
0:34
connection to nature itself were so
0:36
powerful that he were in a continual
0:38
state of perfected sage mode? Well,
0:41
that's what we're going to find out.

check if you are subscribed. And with
0:50
that out of the way, let's get into the
0:52
video. Jeriah had been a man who
0:54
traveled around a lot. He had seen and
0:57
studied many things throughout his life.
0:59
And as such, he knew many kinds of
1:01
njutsu. Not as many as his master,
1:03
Hirozen, but he did know a lot. His
1:06
legendary status as a ninja wasn't
1:09
because of diversity as it was with
1:11
Hirozen, but instead it was because he
1:13
was a master of what he did know. You
1:16
know how the old saying goes. I fear not
1:18
the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks
1:21
once, but I fear the man who has
1:23
practiced one kick 10,000 times. Bruce
1:26
Lee said that. And as much as I would
1:28
love to canonize that Rock Lee is family
1:30
to him, sadly Rock Lee is the closest
1:33
that Bruce Lee will come to being canon
1:35
in the Naruto world. But back to topic,
1:38
Jeriah wasn't just intelligent, he was
1:41
inquisitive. This was a trait for
1:43
authors. It was said that they never
1:46
knew everything about a single topic,
1:47
but knew a little bit about something
1:49
about everything. If this sounds like it
1:52
contradicts what Bruce Lee said earlier,
1:54
then you would be correct. But then
1:55
again, one had to have balance. There
1:57
had to be diversity in certain places in
1:59
your life or you couldn't function. It
2:01
was this inquisitiveness and the desire
2:04
to learn more that coincided with his
2:06
limit njutsu that made him a legend
2:09
because it led him to one of the deepest
2:11
secrets of njutsu that existed.
2:14
Senjutsu. Senjutsu is one of the more
2:16
niche techniques that so few can learn
2:18
due to how secret it is. But if you're
2:21
lucky and you know someone, you can get
2:23
into this most secret of secret clubs.
2:26
Jeriah was lucky enough to train under
2:28
the Hokag, which led to him learning
2:30
sage mode. Further, Minato Namakazi was
2:33
not only powerful, but also knew a guy.
2:36
That guy being Jeriah. That was how Mino
2:38
learned sage mode. Jeriah never liked to
2:41
use it because of how it made him look.
2:43
Mino on the other hand never used it
2:45
because it was a little bit unreliable
2:47
for him. He unlike Jeriah had perfected
2:50
it. But to perfect sage mode required
2:52
concentration and time, something Mato
2:55
as the yellow flash had oh so very
2:57
little of. But they were not the only
2:59
ones with connections to natural energy.
3:01
The Ninetales within Kusha itself was
3:04
composed predominantly of natural
3:06
energy. It was a part of the mystery of
3:08
how nature, energy, and chakra worked
3:10
together before even the sage of six
3:13
paths basically invented chakra on this
3:15
planet. Senjutsu was a thing. Now,
3:18
Senjutsu was required to bond with
3:20
chakra to work. How it functioned before
3:23
chakra was a mystery, but the ninetailes
3:25
offered a hint of a clue. Senjutsu and
3:28
Chakra were the same thing, but
3:30
incomplete. Chakra lacked something
3:32
Senjutsu had. And these days, Senjutsu
3:34
lacked something Chakra had, and nobody
3:36
could pin down what. One of the few
3:39
things Jeriah could never discover.
3:41
Unbeknownst to him, though, they were
3:43
about to luck out on it. You see, Mino
3:45
and Kusha were pregnant with their first
3:48
baby, and it was a boy. Because he was
3:50
such a good family friend, they invited
3:52
him over to inform him that they were
3:54
going to be naming it Naruto. "Naruto,"
3:57
he questioned as he sat at the table.
3:59
That's a weird name, he said. It's the
4:01
name of the main character in your book,
4:02
Kusha said with a smile as if it were
4:04
the best thing they had ever thought
4:05
about. You're cursing that kid, he said
4:07
as he sat there, an amused yet cautious
4:10
smile looking out of the corner of his
4:11
eyes. It's not that bad. Besides,
4:13
itarkens back to his Usuzamaki lineage.
4:16
Jeriah nodded. "Well, so long as you're
4:18
sure," he said. They had wanted him to
4:19
be the godfather of their child, which
4:21
was sprung on him right then and there.
4:23
And before he had the chance to say no,
4:25
he was press ganged into it. everyone
4:28
telling him it was an honor and that he
4:29
couldn't refuse. What was he supposed to
4:31
do? Honestly, he probably could have
4:33
refused, but it would have damaged his
4:35
relationship with them. So, he agreed.
4:37
He had investigations to do, but the day
4:39
that Naruto was supposed to be born,
4:41
Jeriah just so happened to be in the
4:43
village. And so, when the call came that
4:45
Kusha had gone into labor, he made his
4:47
way there to be present. That's about
4:50
all Jeriah could say. He was one of
4:52
those guys. Anyway, he was awkwardly
4:54
standing facing the wall, wishing he had
4:56
feigned illness. He shouldn't be here.
4:58
He didn't want to be here. And by the
5:01
sounds of it, it was safe to say that
5:02
Kusha didn't want him there either. And
5:05
eventually, Kusha stopped crying and
5:06
something else started. That something
5:08
was Naruto. With everything over, the
5:11
baby swaddled, and Kusha, now holding
5:13
her baby boy, Jeriah turned around to
5:15
see them all. He walked over to where
5:16
Mito and Kusha cradled their child. None
5:19
of them noticed at first, but eventually
5:21
they did. He's got some sort of smudge
5:23
on his eyes. "What is that? Is that
5:25
blood?" Minato asked. Kushina gently
5:27
attempted to wipe it off. "It's not
5:29
coming off." "What is it?" she
5:30
questioned. "Let me take a look here,"
5:32
Jeriah said, coming around to the side
5:34
to look at the baby. "Oddigmentation,
5:37
perhaps?" he asked. "Is he healthy?"
5:39
Kushina asked with fear in her eyes. It
5:41
was then that Bwoko came to their side
5:43
and proceeded to try and check, opening
5:44
the infant's eyes to look at them. As
5:47
soon as those lids opened, they saw the
5:49
horizontal slits that Jeriah felt he saw
5:51
more often than regular eyes. By the
5:54
look in Mito's eyes, he caught it, too.
5:56
Wait, was that? Mito and Jeriah both
5:59
entered sage mode to check the baby's
6:01
energy. And when they did, they could
6:03
sense within Naruto an incredible
6:05
energy. They sensed within him senjutsu
6:08
energy, but not like the standard kind
6:10
they had. It felt as though it
6:12
encompassed his entire chakra reserves.
6:15
It wasn't just chakra or nature energy.
6:17
It was both, but also neither. It was
6:20
like something new, like an optimized
6:22
version of it. "What is that chakra?"
6:24
Mito asked. Kusha looked over in fear.
6:27
"What's wrong with my baby?" she asked.
6:29
"Nothing's wrong," Jeriah said, putting
6:31
a hand on her shoulder for comfort.
6:32
"Nothing's wrong with Naruto. It's just
6:34
something we've never seen before." "If
6:36
it's something you've never seen before,
6:38
then how do you know nothing's wrong?"
6:39
she asked. Honestly, Jeriah knew she was
6:41
making a good point, but he had a
6:43
rebuttal. Naruto is in what feels like
6:45
sage mode. I know a lot about sage mode.
6:48
I've never seen anyone born in it,
6:50
though. His chakra feels different
6:52
because it feels like it's comprised
6:54
solely of sage mode, he said. Kusha
6:56
listened, still seeming bothered by it.
6:58
Jeriah smiled. It's okay, Kusha.
7:00
Naruto's okay, he said. He seems to be
7:03
balancing the senjutsu honestly quite
7:05
perfectly, he said. I can attest to
7:07
that, Mito said. I can sense his chakra,
7:10
too. I think it'll be okay, but we
7:12
should watch him, he said. What do we do
7:14
if he can't balance his chakra well
7:16
enough? Kusha asked. What if he starts
7:18
getting out of balance? Won't he become
7:20
stone? Mito and Jeriah looked at each
7:22
other. It was clear that she was scared.
7:25
Jeriah nodded. Let me take the child to
7:27
Mount Moboku. We'll let the Toad sages
7:29
look him over. Then maybe they can
7:31
explain how this happened and what to do
7:33
about it. And so Minato and Jeriah went
7:35
to Mount Moboku where the toads lived to
7:38
ask their sages to look Naruto over and
7:40
tell them if he were okay. And so the
7:43
great toad sage Gamaru asked them to
7:45
bring the child to him. Mito, still
7:48
carrying the baby swaddled in his arms,
7:50
walked over to Gamaru to show him. The
7:52
toad sage looked closely at the child
7:54
and sensed him with Senjutsu. Indeed,
7:57
the child is in sage mode, he said. Is
8:00
he in any danger? Minato asked. Gamaru
8:02
shook his head. I do not think so, he
8:05
said. As he looked the child over more,
8:07
he spoke. The child is something special
8:10
I have not seen in a long, long time.
8:13
You've seen this before? Jeriah asked.
8:16
Gamaru nodded. As you know, I've been
8:18
alive since before the sage of six paths
8:21
began spreading chakra across the world
8:24
and its inhabitants. The toad sage said.
8:26
During that time, there was no such
8:28
thing as chakra as you would know it.
8:31
The only energy source that could be
8:33
used for what would later come to be
8:35
known as njutsu was zenjutsu energy,
8:38
which is nature energy. But after the
8:41
sage spread chakra to all peoples and
8:43
creatures, it started to become less
8:45
common until eventually it stopped
8:48
happening altogether. People being born
8:51
in sage mode, Mino asked. Gamaru nodded.
8:54
Before the toads began to teach people
8:56
sage mode, they themselves were
8:58
naturally linked to nature energy. They
9:01
were born sages, too. In fact, I am
9:04
among the few still alive to have been
9:06
born the way Naruto was. After Chakra
9:09
was spread through the world, people's
9:11
bodies began to focus alone on Chakra as
9:15
an energy source. in a way similar to
9:17
how genturiki's bodies rely upon the
9:19
tailed beasts for energy. And should
9:21
that chakra be taken away, they die.
9:24
That's how people are. But before this,
9:27
it was quite common to be born as a
9:29
sage. Since the introduction of chakra,
9:32
people have had to learn how to balance
9:34
it properly to keep from seeing severe
9:36
adverse effects. But those born in sage
9:39
mode automatically know how to control
9:41
it, so I wouldn't worry. Jeriah then
9:44
spoke. But how did it happen in the
9:46
first place? He asked. How did Naruto
9:48
get born as a sage if that doesn't
9:50
happen anymore? Gamaru thought about the
9:52
question. I don't know, he said. This
9:55
hasn't happened in Oh, wait. There was
9:57
one other time I think this happened.
10:00
Hashiama Senju was born this way. If I
10:02
remember correctly, he was born with a
10:05
sage mode not like any we've seen
10:07
before. And he was a natural and he had
10:10
abilities derived from nature itself.
10:13
Some think that's why he was able to
10:15
utilize wood release and use it as a
10:17
reason to explain his regenerative
10:20
properties. He was very much like a
10:22
plant due to his own sanjutsu. Perhaps
10:25
Naruto is the same way. He obviously has
10:28
chakra though, somewhat similar to how
10:30
it was for me after the sage gave me
10:33
chakra. So maybe he has it, but it
10:35
doesn't affect the sanjutsu. Sort of
10:38
like how the inclusion of chakra to me
10:40
doesn't affect mine. Jeriah nodded. "I
10:43
understand," he said. "But there's like
10:45
no danger, right?" Gamaru nodded. Minato
10:48
let out a sigh of relief. Kusha will be
10:51
pleased to hear," he said. Gamaru then
10:53
spoke. "I'd suggest that since both of
10:55
you have sage mode, you should keep an
10:58
eye on the baby. He isn't in any danger,
11:00
but it's always safe to keep an eye on
11:03
this since it hasn't happened in a
11:05
while, and we don't exactly know why it
11:07
has. And besides, as the child grows,
11:11
they may need help understanding how to
11:13
tap into that power. So, they may need
11:15
two Senjutsu specialists to teach them.
11:18
If either of you need help with the
11:20
child, be sure to bring it here, and we
11:22
will assist in any way we can, he said.
11:25
Mito and Jeriah nodded and thanked the
11:27
sage before leaving. Getting back, they
11:29
explained to Kosha, who was very
11:31
relieved to hear that the child was
11:33
okay, but still there was fear in her
11:36
heart about the situation. And so Mito
11:38
and Jeriah reassured her by saying that
11:41
they knew what they were doing and would
11:43
be able to help the baby at any point
11:45
should he need it. Besides, I have
11:47
Fukasaku and Shima always on call. If we
11:49
need urgent help from a toad sage, I can
11:51
always get them. Did you make a contract
11:53
with them too, Mito? Jeriah asked. Yeah,
11:56
I have a contract with them. Jariah
11:58
looked at Kusha with a shrug and spoke.
12:00
Then we've got nothing to worry about.
12:01
And with that, Kusha relented. From that
12:04
point on, the child began to grow. And
12:06
as he grew, Mino was always nearby. A
12:09
time came where Naruto was considered
12:10
ready to join the academy. As he did so,
12:13
he was seen as a good sensory type due
12:16
to him possessing incredible ability
12:17
with sensing chakra. Due to natural sage
12:20
mode, he was far stronger than other
12:22
kids his age and was able to perform far
12:25
greater deeds of chakra control.
12:27
Naturally able to use the five elements
12:29
as if he'd had an affinity for them all.
12:31
Due to this, he was considered a
12:32
prodigy. Many thought to give him
12:34
special positions, but Mito thought it
12:37
best that Naruto should be properly
12:39
trained first to use his sage mode to
12:41
its fullest. And so Mino sent Naruto to
12:44
Jeriah, who brought him to Mount Moboku.
12:47
There they trained for a time. Jeriah
12:50
was amazed at the level of proficiency
12:52
that Naruto displayed. He seemed as good
12:54
at using Senjutsu as the older masters
12:57
of Toad style sage mode. He seemed more
13:00
at home at Mount Moboku than in any
13:02
other place in the world. It's amazing,
13:04
Gamaru said. He seems even more
13:07
proficient in using Senjutsu than even
13:09
I. Do you think he's the child of
13:11
prophecy you told me about all those
13:13
years ago? Jeriah asked. I do not know.
13:16
It is possible. Is there a test? A way
13:19
to see if he is? Jeriah asked. Gamaru
13:22
thought about it deeply.
13:24
I think there is a way to see. How do we
13:27
test him? Jeriah asked. "I'm sure you
13:30
know about the Three Tales," he said.
13:32
"The one that was in Mino's student?"
13:34
Jariah asked. Gamaru nodded. "Yeah, I
13:37
know it," Jeriah said. "What about it?"
13:39
"The three tales has regenerated." "I
13:42
feel as though the only way for Naruto
13:44
to prove if he is the child of prophecy
13:46
is to go and collect it." "That's a tall
13:49
order. It's stronger than he's ever
13:51
thought about being. It could kill him."
13:53
Gamaru nodded. But if he succeeds, then
13:56
it means he could be the child of
13:58
prophecy. Jeriah stroked his chin,
14:00
nervous. I can't make this call, he
14:03
said. I need to talk to Mito and Kusha.
14:05
You should talk to Naruto about this as
14:07
well. He deserves to know. Jeriah nodded
14:11
in understanding, and so he went back to
14:13
Naruto to tell him everything. Naruto
14:15
was receptive as he listened to what his
14:17
mentor had to say. "I want to do it," he
14:20
said. Jeriah was shocked. He shook his
14:22
head. Not until we get your parents'
14:24
permission. They'd never forgive me if I
14:26
let you do something so dangerous as
14:28
this without telling them. I understand,
14:30
but I still want to do it, he said.
14:32
Jeriah nodded. Okay, but we're still
14:34
talking with your parents first. And so
14:37
Naruto and Jeriah made their way back to
14:39
Konoha where they would meet up with
14:40
Kusha and Mito. They sat down with the
14:43
two. What's going on? Kusha asked.
14:45
Jeriah began to explain. I was up at
14:48
Mount Moboku with Naruto and we trained
14:50
with the sages there. Gamaru believes
14:52
Naruto to be even better with Senjutsu
14:54
than he is himself. And so that sparked
14:57
a question that we both began to think
14:59
about. And that question was, Mito
15:02
asked. Do you remember years ago when I
15:04
told you about a child of prophecy? Mito
15:07
nodded. You thought it was Nagato for a
15:09
while? Mito said. Jeriah nodded. I did
15:12
think it was Nagato. I also thought it
15:14
could have been you, he said to Mito.
15:16
But in the past few days, we've been
15:18
thinking it could be Naruto. Minato
15:21
nodded. Okay, what about it? Well, we
15:24
thought that the only way to tell for
15:25
sure is to give him a test. A test?
15:27
Kusha questioned? Jeriah nodded.
15:30
Remember Ren Nohara? Mito's eyes began
15:33
to avert the moment he said that before
15:35
looking back. I remember her, he said.
15:38
Jeriah looked down, realizing what he
15:40
had just done to Mato. I'm sorry. I
15:43
didn't mean to bring it up that way.
15:44
Mito waved it off. It's okay. Continue.
15:47
Jeriah nodded and then decided to
15:49
continue. Rene was turned into the
15:51
genturiki of the three tales. Upon her
15:53
death, the three tales dispersed, but
15:56
it's come back together again. According
15:58
to Gamaru, he said that the only way to
16:00
know for certain that Naruto is the
16:02
child of prophecy is for him to try and
16:04
capture the three tales by himself.
16:06
Kusha's eyes widened. "By himself?" she
16:09
let out louder than she was probably
16:11
supposed to. "You're crazy," she said.
16:13
Jeriah grimaced at the shouting. I
16:15
thought you might not like it, he said.
16:17
Then why did you even bring it up to us?
16:19
She asked. Because I want to do it, Mom,
16:21
Naruto said. Kusha looked at him.
16:24
Capital N O. No, not happening. But Ma,
16:28
listen. If I don't do it, we'll never
16:30
know. That's fine by me. I don't care if
16:32
you're supposed to be a hero or not. I'm
16:34
not losing my baby by betting on the
16:35
chance that you're maybe some hero that
16:37
Gamaru dreamed about, she said. Naruto
16:39
looked down. Mom, please. I need to try.
16:43
I need to know, he said. Minato looked
16:45
to Jeriah and then back to Naruto. Son,
16:48
if you're not the hero, then the chances
16:50
of failure are going to be incredibly
16:52
high, near 100%. And failure means that
16:56
you will very possibly die. Naruto
16:58
nodded. I understand that risk, he said.
17:01
But I still want to do it. Please let me
17:04
try. Mito sighed and then looked to
17:06
Kusha. You're not seriously thinking
17:08
about this, are you? She asked. Mito let
17:10
out a troubled breath. I mean, he is an
17:13
official ninja now. He's going to be
17:15
going on dangerous missions anyway. If
17:17
he wants to try, he's going to get
17:19
killed. You don't know that, Mito said.
17:22
Listen, Kusha. He wants to do this. I
17:24
don't care what he wants. I'm not going
17:26
to watch him go get himself killed, she
17:28
said. Mom, Naruto said. Please let me
17:31
try this. I need to, he said. What about
17:34
what I need? She asked, tears coming to
17:36
her eyes. I need you here with me. If
17:39
you get killed, then how will I survive?
17:41
she asked. Naruto looked down and spoke.
17:44
And how can I live with myself knowing
17:46
that I had a destiny to fulfill and
17:48
didn't do it? Kusha stared at him
17:50
silently in shock. She could hardly
17:52
speak. She let out a sigh. Fine. If you
17:56
want to go get yourself killed, then
17:57
more power to you, but don't blame me
17:59
for it and don't expect me to watch you
18:01
do it. As she said this, she got up and
18:04
walked away. Naruto was silent for a
18:06
moment. Mito too was silent. Nobody
18:09
spoke. I should have kept this to
18:11
myself. I should have never mentioned
18:13
it. Mito looked to Jeriah. It's not your
18:15
fault, Sensei. And it's not Naruto's or
18:17
Gamaru's fault either. Naruto stood.
18:20
I'll be right back, he said. He then
18:22
walked to the kitchen where Kusha was
18:24
viciously washing the dishes. In her
18:26
anger, she accidentally broke a plate.
18:29
Naruto came up to her. Mom. She was
18:32
silent for a moment before turning
18:33
toward him and throwing her arms over
18:35
his shoulders to hug him. Naruto hugged
18:37
her back. I know you're scared, he said,
18:40
but I just I need to try. I'll be
18:42
careful. I promise. Okay, she said.
18:45
Please come home. Jeriah brought Naruto
18:48
to the location where they said that
18:50
they thought Isobu might be. It was a
18:52
heavily forested, fogridden area. The
18:55
ground itself was muddy. Jeriah looked
18:58
to Naruto. "There's no shame in backing
19:00
out now," he said. Naruto shook his
19:02
head. "I'm okay," he said. He looked up
19:05
at Jeriah, obviously nervous. If I don't
19:08
return, "Will you tell my mom that I
19:10
love her?" he asked. Jeriah shook his
19:12
head. "No, I won't. You'll have to tell
19:14
her yourself when this is all over."
19:16
Naruto smiled and nodded. "All right,
19:19
thanks for that, pervy sage." Jariah
19:21
then spoke. "Do you have all the gear
19:23
and tools I supplied you with?" Naruto
19:25
held up a scroll. Jeriah smiled. "Good.
19:28
Keep that with you. It might save your
19:30
life," he said. Naruto nodded. "Well, I
19:32
guess I'm off," Naruto said. Jeriah
19:35
nodded. See around," Naruto said at
19:37
last. He then left into the trees.
19:39
Jeriah would stay in this location and
19:41
wait, wait, and pray. As Naruto rushed
19:45
through the trees, the fog seemed
19:47
overwhelming. He could hardly see
19:49
anything, but then again, he didn't need
19:51
to see anything. Being in perpetual sage
19:54
mode, he could sense the energy around
19:56
him, including the trees, grass, and
19:58
other life forms. As he moved, he could
20:01
sense something very powerful nearby,
20:03
and it gave him pause for a moment. He
20:06
knew he was going to have to face
20:07
something strong, but he didn't think it
20:09
would be this strong. And so, he decided
20:12
to approach with caution. It was near a
20:14
lake. As he stood there by the lake's
20:16
shore, he was unable to see anything
20:18
where he felt the chakra emanating from.
20:21
"It must be under the surface," he
20:23
thought. There was only one thing he
20:25
could think to do. He then jumped down
20:27
into the water. He decided to use his
20:29
sage mode to take on slightly more
20:31
froglike traits. He jumped into the
20:34
water and began to swim. Deciding to
20:36
switch to cutaneous breathing, Naruto
20:38
began to move through the water. His
20:40
skin began to absorb the oxygen that was
20:43
there. He began to swim deeper. As he
20:45
did so, his eyes caught something for a
20:47
moment, a shadow. It looked like the
20:50
entire lake bed was moving. That's when
20:52
he realized it wasn't a lake bed. It was
20:55
the three tales. He raced to the
20:58
surface. As soon as Naruto's head came
21:00
up out of the water, so too came the
21:02
creature behind him. He reared up out of
21:04
the water, causing what to Naruto seemed
21:07
like tidal waves. Isobu saw him and drew
21:09
closer. Naruto pulled up the scroll and
21:12
shouted, "Get back!" The tailed beast
21:14
pulled back, much to Naruto's surprise.
21:16
"You understand me?" he asked. Ishobu
21:20
spoke. "Yeah." Naruto looked at the
21:22
scroll and then put it back into his
21:24
pocket. Maybe there was a way to tame
21:25
the beast without fighting. Hi, Naruto
21:28
said. My name's Naruto. Isobu then
21:31
spoke. I am Isobu the three tales. He
21:34
said, why did you come here? He asked.
21:36
Well, I was told that I might be some
21:38
child of prophecy and that to test
21:40
whether I am or not, I needed to tame
21:42
you. Tame me? No, I don't want to go
21:44
back, he shouted. Go back? I won't make
21:47
you go back. What are you afraid of?
21:48
Naruto asked. Afraid that you'll seal me
21:51
up again. I can't. They keep sealing me,
21:53
hurting me, and killing me. The last
21:55
girl they did that to died, and I died,
21:57
too. I don't like dying. Please don't
21:59
make me do that again, Isobu shouted.
22:02
Naruto spoke and tried to calm the beast
22:04
down. Don't worry, I don't think tame
22:06
means seal. Honestly, I think it can
22:08
mean to befriend. I just have to make
22:10
you not threatening, he said. Isobu sat
22:13
there for a moment. Really? Naruto
22:16
nodded. I won't make you do anything you
22:18
don't want to. Maybe instead we can just
22:20
talk. Isobu seemed cautious, but
22:22
eventually he nodded. Naruto and Isobu
22:25
talked for a long while. He told Isobu
22:27
about how he was born a sage and how his
22:30
mom was the Ninetailes genturi and how
22:32
afraid she was of Naruto coming out
22:34
here. Afraid he'd get killed. If she's
22:37
Kurama's host, then no wonder she's
22:38
afraid. Isobu said. Kurramama's mean, he
22:41
said. Naruto laughed. You're very nice,
22:44
Naruto said. It's easy to talk to you.
22:47
It's easy to talk to you as well.
22:48
Eventually, Naruto loaded up and left
22:50
for Jeriah's location. When he got
22:53
there, Jeriah stood and walked over to
22:54
him. "Did you do it?" he asked. Naruto
22:57
nodded. "Where is he?" Jeriah asked.
23:00
Isobu's still in the lake. "You were
23:02
supposed to tame him," Jeriah said. "I
23:04
did. If you wanted me to seal him, that
23:06
I can't do." "Why not?" "Because he
23:09
didn't want it. He was upset and scared
23:11
of being sealed, so I didn't do it. I
23:13
didn't think I needed to. I was just
23:15
told to tame it. And so, I made him a
23:17
friend. I think that counts. Jeriah
23:19
thought about it. Well, if you're
23:21
finished, we can go home. And so he took
23:24
Naruto home. Kusha was so relieved to
23:26
see Naruto again. And Mito came to the
23:29
door. So, did he do it? Did he pass?
23:32
Jeriah shrugged. He was told to tame the
23:34
beast. And so, he made friends with it.
23:36
Mito was silent. He then said, "What
23:39
does that mean?" "I don't know. I need
23:41
to talk to the toad sage about it." And
23:43
so, Jeriah made his way back to Mount
23:45
Moboku to talk to the sage. So, what
23:48
does it mean? Jeriah asked. Is Naruto
23:50
the child of prophecy? The toad sage
23:52
thought deeply on it and let out a sigh.
23:55
I don't know. The test is inconclusive,
23:59
but he is right about one thing. I never
24:02
specified how he should tame it, just
24:04
that he should. The idea that he simply
24:06
befriended the beast is technically
24:08
enough to meet that criteria. So, if you
24:11
ask me, I'd say that I think it's
24:13
possible, but only time can tell. Jeriah
24:17
sat there and thought some more. Kusha's
24:19
just happy he didn't die. And frankly,
24:21
that's enough for me, too, he said.
24:23
Gamaru then spoke. I think we need to
24:26
not be so worked up about the prophecy,
24:28
he said. If it's supposed to happen,
24:30
then it will, and nothing we can do can
24:32
change it. So, I say it's best to let
24:35
the boy live his life. If he is the
24:37
child of prophecy, then good for him. If
24:40
not, then there's nothing else we could
24:42
have done. And that's where I'm going to
24:44
call it for now. I hope you all enjoyed
24:46
it. One of the greater mysteries to
24:48
Senjutsu is how it could be used by the
24:51
toads before Hagodmo started to spread
24:53
chakra. We already know that it's
24:55
required to mix with chakra to work. So,
24:57
how would it work without chakra? Well,
25:00
this is just one of my hypotheses about
25:02
this. Unless I missed something, this
25:04
seems like a good idea. But what about
25:06
you? What do you think allowed the toads
25:08
to use senjutsu without chakra? What did
25:11
you think about the video? Tell me about
25:12
all this and more in the comments below.
