There is a reason why Jiraiya's body tissues couldn't forge many items.
In the anime, he was a righteous character, acting as a guide to the protagonist. Although he was lecherous and improper, he had a strong sense of chivalry and was very popular with the audience.
For such a character, very few people would give him random nicknames. Correspondingly, there were very few memes about him.
And while he was very strong, he was just a ninja with ordinary talent himself. He hadn't learned any forbidden jutsu, nor did he have any special abilities.
Senjutsu was his only extraordinary trait.
The above two reasons resulted in very few items that could be forged from him.
However—
"It doesn't matter if it's few, as long as they are badass."
Jokichi rubbed his hands with great anticipation and chanted silently in his mind, "Forge."
Instantly, four items appeared in his hands.
A palm-sized toad stone statue.
A stone the size of a goose egg, mixed with green stripes.
A qualification certificate.
A pair of toad sunglasses.
"Toad Spirit: This is the collective will of the toads of Mount Myoboku who have passed away over the generations, carrying the inheritance of the Mount Myoboku toad clan."
"Stone of Nature: A stone born naturally from heaven and earth. It constantly absorbs the natural energy born between heaven and earth at all times."
"Strongest Teacher: This is the qualification certificate of the strongest teacher. Wearing it, you can tell a junior's talent at a glance. When teaching students or disciples, you can always discover their problems and provide correct guidance."
"Pervert Glasses: What does a pervert want most? X-ray vision, X-ray vision, and more X-ray vision."
"They all seem very..."
Jokichi looked at the system descriptions and was about to express his thoughts.
Suddenly, the system prompt sounded again.
[Ding! Detected that the host possesses items of the same origin "Sage's Feather Robe" and "Stone of Nature", which can be forged into the special item "Garb of Heaven and Earth". Do you wish to forge?]
"Forging a new item again?"
Jokichi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. "Forge."
Instantly, the Sage's Feather Robe he was wearing emitted a soft light, automatically detached from his body, and flew into the air.
The Stone of Nature in his hand also emitted light and flew up.
The two merged and blended in the air, finally becoming one.
The light dissipated, revealing the item inside.
It was still a haori, but the proportion of black and white colors had changed.
Originally, the proportion of black and white was about the same. Now, white occupied the vast majority, with only the bottom edge being black.
Furthermore, the white part was embroidered with landscape ink wash paintings.
Mountains, plains, rivers, forests, deserts, as well as blue skies and white clouds.
An entire world was embroidered on the small garment.
It became more elegant and poetic.
Jokichi reached out to catch the clothing, and information about it appeared on his retina.
"Garb of Heaven and Earth: A garment of heaven, earth, and nature. It can automatically absorb natural energy. If chakra is actively injected, it will automatically refine Senjutsu chakra and feed it back to the host."
After reading the system description, Jokichi pondered slightly.
The Sage's Feather Robe contained Senjutsu chakra within the clothing itself, but the amount and intensity were limited. Once the rate of use exceeded the clothing's recovery rate, a situation of insufficient Senjutsu chakra would occur.
Moreover, the Senjutsu chakra possessed by the Sage's Feather Robe originated from Jugo's curse mark. The ratio of natural energy to physical and spiritual energy wasn't very balanced.
It would cause the body to mutate, and the enhancement to physical strength and ninjutsu was also not as good as those who properly cultivated Sage Mode.
The Garb of Heaven and Earth, on the other hand, didn't possess energy itself, but could automatically extract natural energy. When Senjutsu chakra was needed, he had to inject his own chakra.
And there was no system danger warning behind the item. Even if the ratio of Senjutsu chakra wasn't perfectly balanced, it reached a level that wouldn't cause body mutation.
He just didn't know how fast the Garb of Heaven and Earth absorbed natural energy.
If it could compare to the Nine-Tails or Hashirama Senju, then with just this one garment, he would dare to fight Kaguya Otsutsuki head-on right now.
However, since it was the Stone of Nature forged from Jiraiya, even with a secondary forging upgrade, its functions wouldn't be exaggeratedly ridiculous.
Reaching the level of the Nine-Tails or Hashirama Senju was probably impossible.
However, it wouldn't be bad either.
Jokichi couldn't wait to put the garment on, then tried injecting chakra.
In just one second, a brand new kind of chakra fed back into his body. Under the enhancement of this chakra, he felt his whole body filled with power.
Moreover, his perception of his surroundings and the world became different.
Through these senses, he could perceive things far away and detect danger in advance.
He could understand the changes in things more easily.
In this state, he felt that the S-rank ninjutsu that were once difficult to cultivate successfully didn't seem so difficult anymore.
This feeling was wonderful, and truly exhilarating!
Jokichi felt that without using the Sharingan, without using other items, and without the immortal-like healing power of the Sage Body.
Relying solely on the Sage Mode granted by the Garb of Heaven and Earth, he could defeat Pain.
Putting away his joy from the harvest, Jokichi came to the side bedroom and stood in front of the wardrobe with a large mirror, which reflected his current appearance.
There weren't major changes, just a touch of yellow eyeshadow, and a pinhole-sized dot in his pitch-black pupils.
The changes were even smaller than Naruto's Sage Mode.
The more balanced the ratio of Senjutsu chakra, the smaller the changes to the body, and the stronger the enhancement to the body and ninjutsu.
"As expected, the feeling of being able to fight Pain relying solely on Sage Mode and ninjutsu isn't an illusion, I am truly strong to this extent."
Jokichi excitedly clenched his fist, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
However, the speed at which the Garb of Heaven and Earth absorbed natural energy indeed couldn't compare to the Nine-Tails and Hashirama Senju.
These two guys, one could absorb the natural energy of the entire earth in a short time, and the other could absorb the natural energy of the entire sky within a few minutes.
This level of intensity was far beyond what the Garb of Heaven and Earth could compare with.
However, for Jokichi's current consumption, there would absolutely be no situation of insufficiency.
"As expected, although the forged items are few, they are very badass."
Jokichi remembered his earlier self-comforting words and couldn't help but laugh.
After a good while, he remembered there were still three items he hadn't looked at.
He immediately withdrew his chakra and returned to the dojo to examine the other three items.
First was that toad stone statue.
As long as chakra was injected into it, the eyes of the toad stone statue would project images recording the history and inheritance of the Mount Myoboku clan, which included many applications of Senjutsu chakra.
For example, Frog Kata.
Able to mobilize nearby natural energy for attack and defense.
However, there were very few such Senjutsu that humans could use. Most were jutsu that only toads, or toads cooperating with humans, could use.
Jokichi wasn't discouraged. That Garb of Heaven and Earth had already satisfied him greatly.
