Since he was turned into stone by absorbing Uzumaki Naruto's senjutsu, the Rasenshuriken, it is only natural that he would be disturbed by Mizuki's senjutsu chakra.

The issue that Shuimu cares about is what the drawbacks of his own magic are!

Toad Magic and Snake Magic can cause petrification and insanity respectively. The Sage Mode of the Mizuki version, a product of this patchwork, should be more harmful when used.

There is one thing Shuimu is very clear about, no matter whether it is the Snake Immortal Art or the Toad Immortal Art, the natural energy called upon is biased, which is the fundamental reason why the two immortal modes are different.

As for Mizuki's Sage Mode, it's a pity. He is already very lucky to have found a way to use the tailed beast's chakra to call upon natural energy. Naturally, he will not be picky about the natural energy he senses, but accept it all.

It is very dangerous to take natural energy into the body without restraint. Toad Magic and Snake Magic are relatively mature methods. Although they do not fully exert the power of natural energy, they also greatly protect the user's mental will. As long as it is not abused, there may not be too obvious side effects when you die. The possible trouble is that some of your secrets will be exposed to Myoboku Mountain or Ryuchi Cave.

The unlucky ones who have poor qualifications or are forced to use the system are the victims of Myōboku Mountain who turned into stone frogs, died under Orochimaru's curse, or the killers who lost their minds like Chougo.

Shuimu's method of using the Sage Mode is too barbaric, and it is understandable that the side effects are greater. Therefore, if it is not necessary, Shuimu will try to reduce the use of the Sage Mode as much as possible, just to avoid some unnecessary mental pollution.

In tonight's encounter, the hungry ghosts attacked the human world and the hell world without hesitation, which made Shuimu have some bad associations.

"Why haven't I considered possessing the power of the Sharingan, or even the Byakugan?"

If the Sharingan is still a bit difficult, what about the Byakugan? With so many conditions, it is really too easy to get a pair of eyes. The difficulty of opening the Byakugan is many times simpler than the Sharingan. Whether it is cultivating a helper or cloning an organ for transplantation, with the help of the universal potion, it is really not a bloody thing, and it is also possible to avoid moral risks.

If the Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated, the only thing that can protect you is either Susanoo or the Samsara Eye.

Of course, in two years, Shuimu might be able to find a better way, but why should he go the long way and ignore the obvious risks and not make some preparations?

I even rejected the Sharingan and Samsara Eye. The goal of taking this risk tonight was to destroy the Samsara Eye, not to seize it. Was it because I felt guilty and felt that Nagato's experience was pitiful? This kind of joke could not convince me!

"It seems that I am indeed affected!"

Shuimu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had been using the Sage Mode too frequently recently. He had been fighting battle after battle and had become too excited.

Let’s review some of the major things Shuimu has done in the past few months:

After communicating with the Hyuga family and uncovering the trap of the bird in the cage, Hyuga Hiashi considered terminating the policy that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years ahead of schedule and abolishing the bird in the cage. Then the way to synthesize the Rinnegan using this method is basically blocked.

He tried his best to obstruct the actions of the Akatsuki organization, making it more difficult to revive the Ten-Tails.

Uchiha Sasuke was left in Konoha Village, and the matter of following Orochimaru was temporarily unresolved. He had not met Uchiha Itachi, and had not suffered more mental torture. Although the Sharingan was still upgraded to three magatama, without the stimulation of Uchiha Itachi, the difficulty of upgrading to the Mangekyō Sharingan was undoubtedly increased;

And Uzumaki Naruto, without the pressure of Uchiha Sasuke's defection and the fact that his body will be taken away by Orochimaru three years later, it is hard to say whether he, who lacks motivation, can smoothly make up for the basic strength and become a qualified ninja as in the original work!

From the above, we can see that Shuimu's actions invisibly follow a pattern -

"Are you suppressing the upper limit of the power of the ninja world without realizing it?"

Mizuki muttered as he looked at his hands.

"We can't just leave it alone any longer. We must get the secret technique to condense our spirit."

In addition, the Sage Mode must find a more suitable solution. Every time it is used, it will be exposed to the erosion of natural energy, and problems will definitely arise.

"If the Eight-Headed Technique is obtained, all the curse seals in the main body and the clone will be removed, and the blessing will be re-applied after the spirit is stabilized."

In order to complete all of this as quickly as possible within two years, the first and most important thing is to find Orochimaru.

A few days ago, Might Guy took Neji Hyuga, Tenten and Rock Lee to the Land of Rice. It seems that I have to find time to go there too.

…

The captain of the security force, Mizuki, was yawning all the time while patrolling the streets. He hadn't slept much all night and was extremely tired, but he couldn't find any reason to ask for leave. It was too absurd for a powerful jonin who was proficient in medical ninjutsu to suddenly become so sick that he couldn't work.

In the morning, Xiaochun seemed to know that Shuimu had gone out in the middle of the night, but he didn't ask much. Since Shuimu didn't say much, it meant there was no problem.

In fact, Konoha Village is now in a state of recuperation and is also secretly preparing for war. This is inevitable. With the Akatsuki organization, a cancer in the ninja world, there is no guarantee that a war will break out again due to some opportunity.

"Tekuno, are you getting used to being in the security department lately?"

During the lunch break, since Hyuga Neji was not there, there were only four people on duty.

"It's okay. Thank you Captain Mizuki for your care."

"Yes!" Shuimu nodded, "Some things may be known to you, so I won't say more. After so long, now that you are used to the work of the security department, you have to take on more responsibilities. When I'm not around, it will all depend on you, the only special jonin of the first team, to take charge of the overall situation."

"clear!"

Tekuno was overjoyed. After being transferred to the security department, he knew the direction of his future promotion. As he could get the recognition from his direct superior, promotion was a sure thing.

"Although Neji has great potential, he is a newcomer after all. You have to take care of him. In the future, more people may join the first team. As a senior, you must help them integrate into the team smoothly!"

"I have something else to do this afternoon. Tekuno, you take charge of the team. Boshui and Hijiri, you two should not slack off."

Although these two people do not have much potential, but with the growth of experience, they can be promoted to special jonin in a few years. In another two or three months, there will be another chunin exam in the middle of the year, but the scale of this exam may be much smaller, and a few new people can be added smoothly by then.
