"Good to be back though I 't imagine what all besides Danzo getting his just deserts would me personally." I said holy.

  "Most of it has little retion to you but is still at least taially something you should be informed of." she said with a nod as we traveled through the vilge.

  It was odd but I could almost feel the ge in Konoha now that Danzo was go was like a hidde had been lifted from the pce. It was o see if I am being ho and put me in a good mood. It didn't take us long to reach the Hokages offid I o each of the shadows of the room that had ae anbu shinobi waiting to protect my sehese shinobi had failed to protect the third Hokage and had decided that that would never happen again.-

  " they be trusted to keep what they learn to themselves?" I asked since I had a very important fession to make.

  My sensei was taken back by the question but looked at the guards in the shadows seriously before nodding to say that they be trusted. I sighed but started drawing in natural energy in su amount that even those not attuo it could se. Immediately dark lines appeared around my eyes as I entered saint mode. Just as fast as I e however I dropped it before it could start putting any real pressure on me.-

  "You're a sage!?" my sensei excimed in shock.

  I nodded "Been a sage for as long as I remember, that is my secret. The reason I avoided Katsuyu and the source of the ret destru in the forest was reted to this." I said holy.

  "That ... expins a lot actually. Why hide it though, I know that if he khe old man would have treated you like a precious treasure?" she asked genuinely fused.

  "You misuand, I don't mean that I have been able to enter sage mode for as long as I remember, I'm ALWAYS in sage mode. What you just saw was a form that went even further down that path." I said holy.

  "What!? How!?" she excimed with wide eyes once she fully prehended what I said.

  I shrugged "I 't say holy as I was born this way, it's why my body is the way it is and why I as as I do. If I'm being pletely ho I probably wouldn't have even shared this information had I not met ahat knew I was a sage despite not having any marks. I'd rather get it out before you learned in a bad situation." I said seriously.

  "I o summon Katsuyu for this, maybe she will know." she said seriously and I nodded a her.

  She wove the hand signs bit her thumb and palmed the table causing a small puff of smoke to appear. As it cleared a slug about a foot long that was white with a blue stripe down it's back appeared.

  "Is there .... oh my!" The slug spoke gently before exg in shock as one of it's eye stalks focused on me.

  "So you tell then?" my sensei asked and the slug focused on her.

  "That he is a natural sage? Oh yes any sage beast could if they met him it would be hard not to, like not realizing the sued." the slug said reverently.

  "Is there some sort of signifi being a natural sage?" my sensei asked and I was also curious since I assumed so but had no firmation until now.

  "Most certainly! Natural sages are a myth even amongst the three sage regions but their importance is a well know fact, they are the darlings of the world. Practically naturally gods when they mature, immortal, all seeing and capable of transf the world with a wave of their hands. At least that is what the oldest of tales say but if a natural sage had been born in the past it was so long ago that none remember them." The slug spoke passionately.

  "I suppose when I fully mature that description is fairly accurate as I still age and my maximum perceptie is only slightly rger than Konoha. As for the transf the world part I am afraid that power is beyond me even if I go into saint mode." I ented seriously.

  "Saint mode?" the slug asked fused.

  "A form beyond sage mode, ironically I saint because I sidered it's power to border the divine, hadn't realized that name would fit so well." I said holy.

  "Would you mind showihis "saint mode" of yours?" the slug asked.

  I saw reason why not and gathered natural energy again aered saint mode for a brief moment before dropping it.

  "I 't use it any lohan that or the strain rapidly causes my body to deteriorate. If I truly utilize it I hold it for thirty seds and two attacks before losing both my arms and beiined for death, I tested it with a mitosis e and the spiritual backsh had me in a a for over two weeks." I said holy.

  "I believe I know why that is. That form is like what sage mode is for the average shinobi only multiplied by several times. To retively safely use that power you may o fully mature and eve may be a slow acclimation process much like that of a normal shinobi learning to utilize sage mode. In truth I don't think even sage beasts of my caliber or even of Gamamaru's caliber could use that form for more than a single instant without dying ht." the slug said sincerely.

  "Truly!?" my sensei excimed in shock again.

  "Indeed, while we are better at utilizing sage mode pared to almost any human by a rge degree he exceeds us even now by a massive quantity. Our mastery of natural energy is childs py for a natural sage like him. That was made clear with how easily he gathered such a vast amount of natural energy in mere moments outside a hotspot. Even if my main body was here I'd at most only be able to draw in a fra of what he did in that amount of time." the slug said seriously.
