Enter, The Sage [P]

Kirei arrived at the waterfall to work on one of the more important skills he would be able to develop. He had made a lot of progress with regards to his chakra levels, but it was time for something new. He could feel the senjutsu energy flowing into him, slowly but surely. He could still feel that it wasn't yet balanced with his current chakra reserves and as such wouldn't be sufficient to enter the famed "Sage Mode" but it would be to that point soon enough, he just had to focus and be patient. As he meditated, he glanced over the shrubs and lily pads dotting the pond. Thinking of how peaceful it was here. He felt that he could get lost in the tranquility around him, but for the moment he focused inwards. He could feel a warmth growing within himself. It was slowly growing to match what he could feel of his own chakra. Thinking of chakra and nature chakra, he knew that the body naturally produced yin and yang chakra, physical and spiritual, that mixed inside of the body to form the normal chakra reserves.

Then, for one to enter sage mode, they had to gather enough nature chakra to balance out the equation so to speak. He could feel that his nature chakra that he had gathered thus far was at around two thirds of his maximum chakra levels. This is what he could estimate anyways. Next, one had to remain completely still, which was much harder to accomplish than drawing the chakra in on its own. It was in a human's basic needs to move and be in motion of some sort at all times. This fact in and of itself was what made sage training as difficult a task as it was. This is why most people learned from animal sages or didn't learn it at all, simply because it was such a difficult form to learn and even more difficult to master. It was the moment he achieved the delicate balancing act within himself that he felt it. A calming aura spread around him and he felt at one with everything around him, the air, the trees and even the water falling down in front of him. He was actually in sage mode now.

He could feel the different creatures moving about the island, and even his sensei who was off training. He could feel his chakra was far stronger than before. He also felt his body was far superior to how it had been before. Much like a rush of excess energy that empowered him and gave him the tools he needed to defeat almost any opponent. He felt almost as strong as when he used his Bijuu Cloak mode, but this was just much more connected to everything. He felt at one with the world, and this granted him strength and insight into the inner workings of a grander picture than he would have ever imagined had he not attained sage mode. So sensing was a major part of this ability, next came the physical enhancement, then there was the strength he could feel, he felt that his chakra had been supercharged and that any jutsu he used would show this. Forming a rasengan was now second nature, it formed instantly and effortlessly, he wondered how he had ever casted the jutsu before now. But that was most certainly not the only thing he noticed about this form.

He could also feel that his Medical Jutsu had gained insight. As he could now feel the inner workings of a body that he was working on, he would be better suited to healing than he had been in his original form. He could only imagine the ramifications of combining this ability with his bijuu chakra mode and the strength and power he would have then. He looked out at the trees, observing a bug fly about around a bush that was nearly 100 meters away. It had improved his senses beyond that of what was normal for even someone as powerful at base as he was. Looking at his own hand, he could feel his chakra was surging with excitement of how he could use this form to help himself grow stronger and faster, to help him act as the guardian of his precious people hat he longed to be. He was not power hungry by any means, but with this power, he knew he stood a better chance of defending his friends and family of any threat that he came across. The Kyuubi seemed to have gotten somewhat relaxed too, if the feeling he was getting from the seal was anything to go by. The big Fox was not a peaceful creature by any means,but there was no doubt the calming aura this brought about had an effect on him.

Releasing the form, he would smile to himself. That would prove to be invaluable in his battle with the Kyuubi. He was glad he had found the tome that contained the knowledge of the techniques. He could only imagine how this would improve his techniques, the power that the form gave him was just unreal. Thinking of the peaceful chakra that it gave off he was amazed that his own chakra could feel that way. For one that was as aggressive in combat as he tended to be, he was amazed he was able to calm his chakra down so much as he was. Walking slowly back to his house, he couldn’t help but feel accomplished in his improvement during the day thus far. He had succeeded in mastering the use of sage mode and he would now be able to go into the form during combat and thus would be able to match most any opponent he came across. But that only opened new doors for improvement to his training. He was only getting started, not reaching an apex. He was still at the base of his improvement mountain.
