Taking everything into account,
Orochimaru gave Naruto two plans.
One was to use the Unliving Corpse Reincarnation Technique to directly get rid of this body that has the Nine Tails' Chakra!
The other was to try to fuse the power of the Gelel Stone!
The Gelel Stone's energy is a kind of power that can fight against Chakra. If Naruto's body can fuse with the power of the Gelel Stone, it can completely fill the void left by the Nine Tails' Chakra!
They have an entire Gelel Stone mine, so they don't have to worry about running out of energy.
The only problem is that their understanding of the Gelel Stone is not enough to perfectly integrate it into the human body.
In Orochimaru's many experiments, most of the experimental subjects were turned into monsters by the Gelel Stone.
In other words, if this power is forcibly integrated into Naruto's body, it won't be any better than having a Nine Tails sealed inside him.
Knowing that Orochimaru had no better solution, Naruto was a little disappointed.
He can't give up his current body. All his power comes from this body. If he changes to another body, he will not only lose the power of the Shiny-Shiny Fruit, but he also won't be able to have a body stronger than this one!
Unless he is willing to let Orochimaru study his body.
With Orochimaru's ability, he might be able to find out the Devil Fruit genes hidden in his body and create a brand new Devil Fruit!
But Naruto doesn't want Orochimaru to study his body, even if Orochimaru has been controlled by him with the Forbidden Individual Transcendence Technique and can't betray him.
"How is the research on Black Zetsu going?" Naruto asked.
"I extracted some tissue from his body for research and found that there is a very special Chakra in his body, but it will take time to find out the secret of eternal life in his body," Orochimaru said.
Naruto nodded and said, "Don't let any of his tissue leave that room. I suspect his consciousness can be in any part of his body."
"Understood!" Orochimaru's eyes lit up and he licked his lips in response.
...
Leaving Otogakure Village, Naruto didn't return to Konoha, but used Reverse Summoning to come to Mount Myōboku!
Since Orochimaru has no solution, Naruto wants to find a solution himself.
And the Sage Art of Mount Myōboku is one possibility that Naruto thought of!
Replacing the Nine Tails' Chakra with Natural Chakra, isn't that a solution?
However, randomly integrating Natural Chakra into the body will cause the body to turn to stone. To use it, you can only use it by balancing the Natural Chakra, physical energy, and mental energy in a 1:1:1 ratio.
From this point of view, absorbing Natural Chakra is more dangerous than absorbing other people's Chakra!
However, Natural Chakra is endless. As long as you find a way to store it in your body, you can solve the problem of not having enough Chakra, and there are no technical problems!
Mount Myōboku, Gold Coin Cave.
This is Naruto's first time here. Although he signed a summoning contract with Gold Coin Toad and its son before, he wasn't interested in visiting its home.
"Ribbit?"
Gold Coin Toad felt the movement on its head, looked up, and found that it was Uzumaki Naruto. The whole toad was so scared that it jumped up!
"Gold Coin?!"
"You're asking me why I'm here? Of course, it's because I have something to do. What's with that expression of yours? Are you hiding something from me?"
Because he has mastered Observation Haki, Naruto's communication with Gold Coin Toad has no problems at all.
"Gold coin, gold coin!"
Gold Coin Toad shook its head to deny it, but Naruto saw guilt on its face.
And its heart also revealed the reason for its guilt!
'Oh no, why is Boss here? If he sees how many gold coins I have here, he won't take all my gold coins away, will he?'
'Now that Boss is here, there's no time to hide all the gold coins...'
Gold coins?
Naruto looked around and found that the Gold Coin Toad's cave was shining with golden light, and there were gold coins everywhere!
"This is what you told me back then, that you didn't have many gold coins?" Naruto's mouth twitched, and he looked at Gold Coin Toad with an unfriendly look in his eyes.
"Gold coin! Gold coin!"
"Are you saying that these gold coins aren't yours? But your wife's?"
"Gold coin! Gold coin!"
"This is the dowry you brought when you married into the family?"
Naruto was half-believing, but he didn't ask any further questions.
Anyway, these gold coins are useless to him, and he doesn't lack money to spend.
"Where's Toad Gamatatsu?" Naruto asked, looking at the empty cave with only gold coins.
"Gold coin."
"Out playing? Alright, then take me to see the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku."
"Gold coin?"
"Never mind why I want to see the Toad Sage, just take me there."
Seeing that Naruto seemed a little dissatisfied, Gold Coin Toad, which was already feeling guilty, didn't say anything more, picked up Naruto and jumped towards the direction of the Toad Sage.
However, Gold Coin Toad seemed to have misunderstood Naruto's meaning and didn't take him to Great Toad Sage, but took him to Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage.
"Isn't this Naruto? Why are you here?"
Because of Jiraiya, Naruto has left an impression on Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage.
However, there wasn't much interaction between them, and they had only met a few times.
"Fukasaku Sage, Shima Sage?"
Naruto looked up at the sign above, on which was written "Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage's Home"!
"You stupid toad, I wanted to find Great Toad Sage, what are you doing bringing me here?" Naruto punched Gold Coin Toad.
"Gold coin..."
"You haven't seen Great Toad Sage, so you don't know where it is? You're really useless!"
Naruto was speechless. He didn't expect that Gold Coin Toad, such a big toad, had such a low status on Mount Myōboku that it had never even seen Great Toad Sage!
"Naruto, what are you looking for Great Toad Sage for?" Hearing that Naruto wanted to find Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku and Shima were a little puzzled.
"Because I want to learn Sage Art," Naruto said.
"You want to learn Sage Art?"
Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage were a little surprised when they knew Naruto's intention. "Why do you suddenly want to learn Sage Art?"
Naruto didn't hide anything and explained that he wanted to solve the Nine Tails problem through Natural Chakra.
The two Toad Sages thought for a while, exchanged ideas, and then Shima Sage spoke: "We need to ask Great Toad Sage for his opinion, please wait here for a while!"
Although Naruto is the son of Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya's disciple, after all, without Jiraiya's introduction, the two toads cannot rashly teach Naruto the power of Sage Art!
After saying that, Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage jumped onto two toad mounts and left in one direction of Mount Myōboku.
Naruto didn't try to use Observation Haki to track them. After all, he was here to learn, and using Observation Haki to spy on them might cause Great Toad Sage's displeasure if discovered!
Although he wasn't afraid of Great Toad Sage, he still didn't want to offend it in order to learn real skills.
