"I'm so strong!"
With Kabuto having attained the basics of Sage Mode and sorted through the knowledge Orochimaru had taught him over this period, not only had his skin turned deathly pale, but even his legs had transformed into a snake's tail!
The sacrifice of his looks had bought Kabuto an enormous increase in strength.
At that moment, Kabuto had the vague illusion that even Orochimaru would seem nothing special before him!
Still, Kabuto ultimately dismissed those stray thoughts. He knew very well that Orochimaru still had a trump-card forbidden jutsu: the Eight Branches Technique!
It was a special forbidden jutsu Orochimaru had created for himself after witnessing the power of the tailed beasts. It allowed him to transform into the legendary Yamata no Orochi, granting him terrifying strength that could truly rival a tailed beast.
Although Kabuto had now entered Sage Mode, his own strength was only that of an ordinary jonin. Even with Sage Mode's enhancement, he had at most barely reached the Kage-level standard of the Sannin.
"No, you aren't strong enough yet!"
Just after Kabuto successfully mastered Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode, the White Snake Sage appeared before him.
When the White Snake Sage saw the Sage Kabuto from her prophecy standing before her, a glimmer of joy flashed through her cold, serpentine eyes. Since Kabuto had successfully mastered Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode, it meant her prophecy had been correct!
The human she had chosen truly possessed the potential to single-handedly launch the Fourth Great Ninja War!
"In my prophecy, you mastered a forbidden jutsu called Impure World Reincarnation."
"You refined and innovated upon that forbidden jutsu. With its power, you could even wage war against the entire shinobi world!"
The White Snake Sage's voice rang in Kabuto's ears like that of a devil from hell. Why
