At this moment, just as Naruto was absorbing natural energy atop the peak of Mount Myoboku, the two great sages, Fukasaku and Shima, were waiting at the foot of the mountain, monitoring his training progress in real time.
"Dear, do you think little Naruto's training will go smoothly this time?" Shima asked suddenly, wearing an apron as she stood beside Fukasaku, looking up at Naruto, who sat motionless like a mountain upon a wooden plank. "Blending the Sage Arts of the Three Sage Regions into one—that is something no seeker who has ever come to Mount Myoboku to practice sage arts has ever dared to attempt since ancient times."
"Isn't signing summoning contracts with the Three Sage Regions simultaneously something unprecedented as well?" Fukasaku said, his gaze deep as he heard this. "My dear, little Naruto has always shown extraordinary talent. If anyone in this world can perfectly fuse the sage arts of the Three Sage Regions, I believe that person must be Naruto."
