I teach kendo in the ninja world

What is the essence of natural energy and sage mode? With such doubts, Orochimaru conducted in-depth research.

According to what he heard from the White Snake Sage and Jiraiya, as well as the ancient books of the Senju clan borrowed from Tsunade, Orochimaru learned that the first Hokage Senju Hashirama also knew the Sage mode.

But his sage mode is different from Jiraiya's and what White Snake Sage said.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode will cause his body to appear "frog-shaped". Although he explained that this is because he has not been able to practice enough, Orochimaru understands that even the Mt. Myoboku Sage Mode, which is known as the perfect , the operator’s eyes will still appear “frog-like”.

The first generation of Hokage is different. Apart from the colorful lines on his face, his sage mode has no changes in physical characteristics. There is neither "frog transformation", "snake transformation" or "slug transformation".

This seems to indicate that the sage mode of the first Hokage was not inherited from the three sacred places of psychic beasts!

When he came to this conclusion, Orochimaru's body was so excited that he began to tremble.

Because the example of the first Hokage proves that the sage mode can't only be learned from psychic beasts, maybe it can also be developed by oneself.

The development of forbidden techniques is the area Orochimaru is most familiar with!

So he began his own experiment.

First of all, natural energy is very inert. Except for some special areas, it is generally difficult for people to feel it directly.

Myoboku Mountain also needs to use items such as toad oil to help practitioners feel the natural energy, and Orochimaru happens to have something similar here - Jugo cells.

As a physique that is naturally compatible with natural energy, if Jugo were in a fantasy world, he would probably be called an innate Taoist body or an innate Taoist fetus, but here, he is just the mother body of Orochimaru's experimental material.

Natural energy is all-encompassing, and logically speaking, everything such as earth, wind, water, fire, etc. should be included in it.

In Orochimaru's view, the reason why the magic of the two holy places causes practitioners to transform into snakes and frogs is probably because they only selectively absorb part of the natural energy.

For example, the Immortal Technique in Ryūchi Cave was created by the White Snake Immortal, so what it absorbs is naturally the part that matches its own attributes. The same is true for the Great Toad Immortal in Miaomu Mountain.

Therefore, the magic they teach will make practitioners gradually transform into their kind.

Otherwise, if all kinds of natural energy are absorbed in a balanced manner, how could there be two completely different consequences, one transforming into a frog and the other transforming into a snake?

To describe it in a way that is not very ninja-speaking, if you practice demon cultivation with your own body, won’t you be able to transform into a demon in the end?

Although Orochimaru is not opposed to turning himself into a monster, he first wants to understand the principle of it.

Moreover, since the first Hokage can create his own sage mode, why can't Orochimaru?

Who is not a genius anymore?

Maybe the reason why the first Hokage was so powerful was because he created the sage mode that best suited him and gained power similar to that of the White Snake Sage!

"Maybe one day, I can become a new immortal?"

While Orochimaru washed his face with saliva, he injected the diluent of Jugo cells into a new experimental material.

"Lord Orochimaru, we don't have much experimental material anymore."

Tianzhi interrupted Orochimaru's beautiful fantasy with the cold reality.

This is natural. They used to experiment in the Kingdom of the Sea and could go out and capture fishermen at will. But now that they have returned to Konoha, this kind of thing is not so easy to do.

"Damn Kirigakure!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but cursed secretly when he thought of the two Kirigakure ninjas who disturbed his laboratory.

"You first go to the Country of Sichuan to grab some people for emergency response, and I will take the time to re-establish a laboratory there."

"But Orochimaru-sama, our previous experiments were all done in a seawater environment. Isn't the environment in the Kingdom of Sichuan a bit different from that in the Kingdom of the Sea?"

Tianzhi raised an objection.

As a person with high scientific literacy, Orochimaru knew that Tenchi was right.The key to the experiment is to keep most of the external conditions unchanged and adjust one or two tiny variables to explore the rules of their change.

If the external environment were completely different, then most of the previous experimental data would probably be discarded.

"The environment of the country of the sea..."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment: "Then we should choose the ruins in the Country of Whirlpool. It is also on the sea and the environment is similar."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, my subordinates go and prepare first!"

Tianzhi left the experimental base with a happy face.

......

On the sparkling, undulating sea, a ship with a big word "water" written on its side was sailing north.

"Ah~~"

Zabuza stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, looking at the shadowy land in front of him and asked:

"Brother Yagura, are we finally here?"

"Yes," Gouju Yagura stood at the front of the deck and smiled: "In about half a day, the ship will dock."

After saying that, he turned around, glanced around the deck, and found that a figure was missing.

"Isn't Araki up yet?"

"No, Araki likes to stay in the cabin every time he takes a boat. Don't worry about him. Just call him when he gets off the boat."

Zabuza waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to give away the big monster.

"That's it! Araki must be seasick, right? Hahaha~"

Goju Yagura laughed maliciously.

At this time, Araki, who was suspected of being seasick, was immersed in the consciousness space, fighting to the death with Yasuo.

"Hasaki!"

With a loud shout, Yasuo swung his sword and threw out a tornado.

"Hmph, this trick can't trouble me now!"

Araki swung his sword confidently, and slashed out a translucent crescent-shaped wind blade, hitting the arrancar and scattering Yasuo's tornado.

"Wind instantly appears!"

"Step forward and chop!"

The two of them rushed forward at the same time and executed two almost identical half-moon slashes with very similar movements.

Bah!

The two swords clashed and separated at the first touch. In the empty and boundless space of consciousness, they separated and reunited at a speed so fast that they could only see the afterimages and the wind blades that collapsed from each collision.

After a ding-ding-dong-dong struggle, the two men reappeared.

Araki raised his sword, pointed at Yasuo and said: "Now I am no longer inferior to you in the normal state, let me see your ultimate move again!"

As he spoke, he formed a seal of the clone technique:

"Wind Escape · Clone Technique!"

In an instant, the breeze moved, and two identical wild trees appeared at the same time, one on the left and one on the right running towards Yasuo's sides.

This is a newly developed ninjutsu that Araki has recently developed after his understanding of wind has improved.

——The technique of wind clone!
