Most geniuses have a strong sense of self-awareness, but without sufficient strength, they are just arrogant.

All that glitters is not gold, it may be diamonds too.

Even if it is a lump of mud, if you burn it into a lump of earth, make it look old, and bury it in the soil for a few years, it may become an antique worth hundreds of millions when you dig it out.

Is Sakura a genius?

It depends on who you compare him with. If compared with Uchiha Sasuke, there is indeed a big gap, but being able to stand out among many ninjas naturally means that he has commendable advantages.

Her IQ advantage and outstanding learning ability mean that as long as she can receive a good education and make full use of her strengths, she will achieve results that are no less than anyone else.

Unfortunately, life is not perfect after all. Even if you can see that there is a high enough upper limit, whether you can reach it still requires sufficient opportunities and efforts.

Family, friendship, and love are all episodes in life, and they don't always have a positive impact. But these things are indispensable in life, especially for a teenage girl like Sakura.

Feelings without reason are bland, but reason without feelings is even harder to swallow.

Humans are emotional animals, not thinking machines.

Inner emotions can certainly confuse people and make them hesitate, but they can also create miracles.

"Have you thought about it?"

Shuimu, who had taken a short nap, yawned. The gentle sea breeze and warm sunshine made him feel sleepy unconsciously.

Sakura thought for a long time and hesitated, but finally nodded.

"I don't really understand the Ninja Way yet. It's too far away. But there are still things I want to do and goals I want to achieve, and they haven't changed. But..."

"Um?"

Under Mizuki's searching gaze, Sakura continued a little embarrassedly:

"I'm a little worried that the hope is too bright to be realized!"

"I see! It's not bad that you think this way!"

Mizuki said with understanding.

"It's normal to realize your own ordinariness. If you indulge yourself as if you were the protagonist of a novel, I would be worried!"

Anyone with a little self-awareness will not think that the whole world revolves around him or her, so it is not surprising to feel timid.

“There will definitely be all kinds of pressure and temptation in a person’s life, so the heart will always be tormented and tested, but this is the real life.”

“Ahaha…”

Sakura was a little confused and didn't quite understand why Mizuki said this to her.

Shuimu also knew that no matter how much he talked to a fifteen-year-old girl, she probably wouldn't understand, and he didn't want to talk too much.

"It's getting late, you should eat something and rest for a while, then we can officially start practicing Sage Mode!"

"Eh, is that all? You don't need to know my goals and dreams?"

"No need, as long as you think about it carefully and have an answer, that's all."

Shuimu waved his hands. The answer was probably just that anyway. It was useless to know about the friendship, admiration, and the youthful pursuit of each other.

Mizuki is a ninja teacher, not a life mentor, and he doesn't teach you how to fall in love.

"As long as you don't forget your answer and don't go astray in the end, it will be fine. Remember what I told you before, you should pay special attention to spiritual practice. People with strong wills are invincible as long as they rush forward regardless of anything. They are simply omnipotent. But people will always have the urge to look around, or even look back. Once you begin to doubt the original intention of your efforts..."

Mizuki shrugged.

"I guess you don't want to have this kind of experience, so I won't say much. Start preparing. After practicing Sage Mode, you will naturally understand some things."

Mature people don’t ask about the past, smart people don’t ask about the present, and open-minded people don’t ask about the future.

At least until now, Mizuki is on the side of Ashura's ideas.

Chakra is not only a symbol of power, but also a bridge connecting the soul.

The higher you stand and measure the world as a whole, you will find that the power of idealism is so strong that a hot-blooded idiot with ideals and ambitions is more loved by the world, even if he is a big villain.

…

Practicing Sage Mode is not easy. The difficulty lies in how to master the balance of various forces in the body and control them within the range that one can bear.

Occasionally, Shuimu would feel fortunate that when he was practicing alone, there was no one to help him, and nothing serious happened. He was really lucky.

From sensing natural energy to generating fairy chakra, there are dangerous moments here. Even Shuimu, who is now proficient in it, does not dare to overly test the limit of his own endurance. If he loses control, there is no guarantee that someone will come to rescue him.

Pioneers always take the greatest risks, and only a lucky one who emerges from a pile of victims can explore a method that works.

With the help of Mizuki, Sakura slowly explored the limits of her control over natural energy.

When you first start to perceive and practice, it is best to keep calm, so as to avoid too many accidents.

When practicing the Sage Mode, different Sage-like abnormalities will occur depending on the degree of the practice.

Jiraiya's Gamasenjutsu resulted in a more obvious frog transformation, while Uzumaki Naruto's further transformation was relatively minor.

As for the immature snake magic of Kabuto Yakushi, with a long snake tail extending from his abdomen, it was really disgusting.

Mizuki uses the Sage Mode, and because he needs the chakra of the tailed beasts as a medium, and because his body has been affected by the imbalance of yin and yang, he has collected the collective will of the summoning beasts to balance the power in his body, so he has obvious characteristics of a jellyfish and a tailed beast.

But this is definitely not the phenomenon that should occur in the Sage Mode of the Mizuki version. It is just some "aftereffects" caused by mistakes in the practice process.

Sakura is different from Mizuki. As a native, she theoretically won't have obvious alienation like Mizuki.

But to Shuimu's surprise, things were not as calm as expected.

"Is the form closer to the Sage Form of Tailed Beast Mode?"

Pale white mist-like chakra floated around Sakura's body. This was due to her lack of proficiency in control, and the loose chakra formed five faint tails that floated behind her.

The posture looked quite impressive, but he was not yet proficient enough and was unable to fully gather the fairy chakra within his body.

In the perfect Sage Mode, there should be no phenomenon of Sage Chakra randomly dissipating outside the body. At most, it will condense on the surface of the body as an extension of the power to manipulate natural energy.

"Sakura is more affected by the tailed beast's chakra than I am. This situation is somewhat irrational, but also somewhat familiar."

Through some method, the physical fitness of the contractor is subtly changed.

This adjustment is somewhat similar to the method used by Myoboku Mountain to strengthen Uzumaki Naruto's qualifications for practicing Sage Mode through Minato Namikaze. The methods are different, but the results are similar.

In other words, Sakura's future children will have a better affinity for the tailed beast chakra, and will be able to more easily sense and utilize natural energy.

"The tailed beasts are not only auxiliary tools for utilizing natural energy, but can also subtly enhance human qualifications and selectively evolve actively?"
