CHAPTER
409 - The Ancient Lore of Myouboku Mountain
Naruto and
Fukasaku prepare to set off to Myouboku Mountain to begin
training. Sakura, Tsunade and Shikamaru see them
off. Fukasaku tells Tsunade he will leave a transmission frog
behind so they can stay in touch. Tsunade replies that she
will send information if they uncover anything new about
Jiraiya’s clues.
Naruto is ready to get going, but then remember
he has no idea how to get to Myouboku Mountain. Fukasaku says
it would take about a month of travel by foot and one will never make
it there if he doesn’t know the secret paths. But
Fukasaku tells Naruto not to worry because he has already signed the
contract with the toads. He summons a large scroll with many
names inscribe upon it - next the Naruto’s name is his
father,
Minato’s signature, and beside him is
Jiraya’s. Naruto is a bit confused about what
Fukasaku means, but before he can say anymore he disappears in a puff
of smoke. Tsunade tells Sakura and Shikamaru not to worry, it
was only
reverse summoning. Fukasaku bids farewell and then disappears
as well.
In the Rain village, Pein gathers Konan and his
five other bodies as he calls forth a heavy downpour. He
tells everyone that their target is the Nine-tails and to kill any
shinobi who gets in their way.
Naruto and Fuakasu arrive at Myouboku Mountain in
an instant thanks to the reverse summoning jutsu. He is
amazed by the lush landscape that is covered in large plants and giant
worm-like buildings jutting from the ground. Gamakichi, who
has grown into a huge toad since he was last seen, informs Naruto that
he was the one who helped summoned Naruto here. Fukasaku
tells Naruto he should come to his home and eat up first before they
start training. Later, Ma Toad has prepared Naruto a grand
feast of dishes made up of various worms, bugs and other unidentifiable
creatures.
Some time later, Naruto arrives at a remote area
with Fukasaku and Gamakichi. After forcing himself to eat Ma
Toad’s cooking, Naruto isn’t feeling too
hot. Fukasaku tells him he doesn’t have time to
puke because they need to get to training right away. He
explains to Naruto about a different type of ninjutsu called Senjutsu
or the Hermit Arts. Unlike regular ninjutsu which combines a
person’s spiritual energy and physical stamina to form chakra
to use in  techniques,
senjutsu augments that internal chakra with
energy absorbed from nature - creating a much more powerful form of
chakra that can seriously power-up a shinobi’s skills and
abilities.
Naruto is having difficulty grasping
Fukaksaku’s explanation. Gamakichi tells Naruto
it’s like when you add mint to a chocolate-vanilla swirl ice
cream cone to make it even more delicious. Fukasaku tells
Gamakichi to stop with the weird explanations, but to his surprise it
seems to help Naruto understand. When Naruto asks where this
nature energy is supposed to come from, Fukasaku explains that
it’s all around them in both the air and the
ground. To demonstrate, Fukasaku begins to gather a huge
amount of natural energy, but Naruto cannot see it. Fukasaku
then walks to a massive stone statue of a meditating frog and lifts it
with his bare hands. Naruto is astounded that the old toad
can do something like this after only making a small hand seal.
Fukasaku puts down the statue with a loud thud,
causing Naruto to lose his balance. The effort has exhausted
him, likely
because of his old age. He explains to Naruto
that the reason he couldn’t see the gathering of nature
energy is because he can’t sense the flow of mother nature
yet. Unfortunately,
that means Naruto can’t collect
nature energy either in his current state. He tells Naruto that he must
first become one with the earth. Naruto is confused, but
Gamakichi clarifies it for him - Naruto must die.
The Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki steps out from the
small temple at the location called Lightning Gorge. He is
met by Sauske and the rest of Team Hawk. Sasuke asks him
directly if he is the one they seek. The Jinchuuriki tells
him he should address him with more respect.
Sasuke’s replies to him that he is to come with them.
