"If you use your sword as a medium, you can channel Chakra from your body into the sword while absorbing Natural Energy and then direct it into the sword. The combination of the two can be directly focused into the sword, allowing it to function as both a reservoir and a conduit for energy."
"So, instead of entering Sage Mode first, you can store *Senjutsu Chakra* in your sword. This way, the sword will hold a combination of Chakra and Natural Energy, allowing you to use the power of *Senjutsu Chakra* anytime without directly burdening your body," Kuroshiro continued in a convincing tone.
Aoki furrowed his brow, thinking hard. "But… doesn't Sage Mode allow the user to absorb Natural Energy directly into their body? If so, what's the advantage of using a sword?"
Kuroshiro smiled slightly. "You realize, right, that your body has significant limitations? You can only maintain Sage Mode for less than a minute because your Chakra is limited. If you try to use *Senjutsu Chakra* while in Sage Mode, your Chakra will deplete faster because your body has to support two processes at once: maintaining Sage Mode and executing *Senjutsu* techniques."
"However, if you use your sword as a vessel, the sword will store Senjutsu Chakra, so you won't need to absorb Natural Energy to enter Sage Mode for combat. You can simply utilize the energy already stored in your sword. This will reduce the strain on your body, extend the duration of your battles, and allow you to use more powerful techniques without the fear of running out of energy too quickly."
Aoki looked at the sword hanging at his waist, contemplating the possibility. "But… is that really possible? It feels too complicated. How can I ensure that the energy flow is stable?"
Kuroshiro crossed his arms over his chest, his expression serious. "It does require very high control. While your body has a unique ability to stabilize Natural Energy, you must train your precision in channeling energy into the sword. If you can master it, your sword will become an extension of your body, not just a tool for fighting. You won't just extend the duration of your battles, but also enhance the power of the techniques you use."
Aoki gazed at his sword, his hand hesitantly touching the hilt. "Using the sword as a vessel… I don't know if I can do it. But if it allows me to last longer in battle, I guess I have to give it a try."
"That's the spirit I want to see," Kuroshiro said with a wide smile. "You don't need to rush. Start with small steps. Feel the flow of Chakra and Natural Energy, and try to channel it into your sword. Remember, it's not just about power, but also harmony. If you can make your sword an extension of your body, then your limits will surpass what you can imagine."
Aoki nodded slowly, his gaze now filled with determination. Although the road ahead seemed difficult, this new idea opened up possibilities for greater power.
However, a thought haunted Aoki's mind. Perhaps this was not the original Naruto world. Aoki began to doubt the authenticity of this world—could it be an alternate or parallel Naruto world?
This thought arose after realizing the existence of places and concepts that were never mentioned in the anime or manga, such as the City of Jumo or Jumo-shi, and the existence of the Sealed Body.
Aoki tried to connect all of this. In the story he knew, there were only three sage locations: Mount Myoboku, the Ryuchi Cave, and the Shikotsu Forest. But in this world, it seemed there were other things that were different, which did not align with the original narrative that Aoki remembered.
This thought left Aoki both shocked and fearful. The uncertainty about the future of this world caused deep anxiety. What if the Shinobi World that Aoki knew was truly destroyed due to the Fourth Shinobi World War? What if that destruction was caused by something Aoki did not know?
