she should return the favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what should she give?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A month goes by fast, in the blink of an eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa smiled and said, \"The current Hidden Leaf Village doesn't need Itachi to worry about much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade picked up her glass, took a sip, and suddenly thought of something, asking, \"Have Itachi heard of Sage Mode?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally, I have some understanding; the Cursed Seal is just a low-quality version of Sage Mode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and said, \"It’s a special mode from the three great sacred places of summoning beasts that allows the use of senjutsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senjutsu, simply put, is ninjutsu used with senjutsu chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the addition of natural energy, its power far exceeds that of ordinary ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the prerequisite for using senjutsu chakra is entering Sage Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning Sage Mode sounds easy—it’s just maintaining a one-to-one-to-one balance between natural energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, practicing it requires extremely high talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, only a few people could learn Sage Mode; even one of the protagonists, Sasuke Uchiha, didn't learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa estimated that he probably didn't have much talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, before he had the system, he was just a mediocre Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade nodded and said, \"Shikkotsu Forest also has a corresponding Sage Mode; Itachi can go learn it once Itachi master Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For something like this, no one would have a reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa waited for a moment, thinking to himself, *As expected.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, a system task related to Sage Mode should have been triggered, but it wasn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he wouldn't be able to learn Sage Mode on his own. ===== CHAPTER 995 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-17T20:57:34.071Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","687372c4be29b72c9aecabcf4f8adcfaab03c0e30a702900e25eaddedbaa81ef","teaching-in-naruto-the-system-says-i-m-tsunade-s-chapter-993","teaching-in-naruto-the-system-says-i-m-tsunade-s-chapter-991",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fteaching-in-konoha-the-system-says-i-m-tsunade-s-cover.jpg"]
