Chapter 241 - 241 (1/2)

Korin's power went back into the seal, and by the time that was done, he felt his spirit was submerged within an ocean of Natural Energy.

Obviously, this was Korin's power. However, unlike what happened with her, the power was lying quietly within the seal without any signs of fluctuation.

Ryo felt eager to try using this energy, and he tried to enter Sage Mode…

It was… a success! This meant that, to him, Korin's Natural Energy was controllable, and he could access Sage Mode without having to rely on the Yin Seal!

Immediately, Ryo went on to condense and Ice Bow, also using Korin's Energy.

As he pulled he arm, the Bow and Arrow formed instantly, and a horrifying amount of Natural Energy was gathered within the Arrow without any gathering time.

Ryo went on and experimented with several other Ice Jutsus, just to realize that they were all instant.

Ryo never expected this, and was extremely excited, and even happier with the completion of Korin's evolution. She, on the other hand, looked at him with slight envy.

”Ryo, calm down. I have something to say to you!”

”What?” Ryo asked Korin after taking her out of his bag.

”I have completed my evolution. I'm now a Juubi-like being. This means that while its power is different than mine in quantity, it's no different in quality. You can benefit from this, and eventually reach the Six Paths Sage Mode.”

”I knew it!” Ryo was surprised even happier as he heard Korin's words.

”Well now you're sure, so stop being such a retard and let me talk! I'm feeling bad anyway and you…”

Ryo's face turned gloomy as he heard Korin, and he directly put her back in his bag while she was speaking.

She struggled to jump out, and then shouted to Ryo: ”I'm not through yet! Ryo, teach me the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clans to help me evolve my spirit!”

Ryo sighed and nodded, and then established a spiritual connection with Korin, teaching her all he knew about his clan's Jutsus.

When done, he then asked her: ”Korin, how long should it take before you can control your strength now?”

After some thought, Korin answered: ”Now that I've leared your techniques, it should take me around four to five months. By then, I should be able to control my power for short bursts of time.”

Ryo nodded and asked no more, and got Korin back in his bag to practice the techniques she just learnt.

Then Ryo did not immediately return to Konoha, instead teleporting to the Wave Country. He did just experiment with many Ice Jutsus, but he hadn't tried Ice Colossus yet.

This was mainly before he was in the desert, and Korin couldn't use her usual power to give him water. Therefore, he decided to go to a non-enemy country to experiment with Ice Colossus.

Ryo found a small lake, and used its water to enter Ice Colossus.

This time, he was using Korin's Natural Energy. As a result, the Colossus was much more stable than before.

The last time he used it, the Ice Colossus was managing to get foreign Natural Energy from its environment. Now, this was perfected, and it became the same as a part of nature itself.

A few hours passed, and the Ice Colossus was still there, showing no signs of being about to dissipate.
