As the Shadow Clone dissolved into a puff of white smoke, a vast amount of memories flooded into Vegapunk's mind.
Unlike Naruto Uzumaki, the single-minded protagonist who had developed the Multiple Shadow Clone training method, Vegapunk was exactly the kind of person whose mind held far too many thoughts, making him utterly unsuitable for using Multiple Shadow Clones.
Even Orochimaru only dared to create a single Shadow Clone when conducting research. Creating too many would mean risking being overwhelmed into an idiot by the flood of memories, let alone Vegapunk, whose mind processed thoughts far faster than an ordinary person's.
An ordinary person would likely be forcibly reduced to a vegetable just by receiving the memories of one of Vegapunk's Shadow Clones. Fortunately, Vegapunk possessed a Quantum Chip, allowing him to easily receive all of his clone's memories and research—though he still did not dare create too many.
"Hmm... this really does count as a certain degree of success..."
Vegapunk's expression was somewhat strange. How should he put it? After researching for some time, this Shadow Clone of his had actually developed a Sage Mode that could remain active almost permanently.
The principle was quite simple. Orochimaru had once conceived of the Cursed Seal. Although it had not yet been fully perfected and had only been used once on his student Anko, its method of automatically drawing in Natural Energy had indeed given Vegapunk's Shadow Clone a direction.
Through constant refinement, Vegapunk had finally transformed the Cursed Seal into an external organ that could automatically absorb Natural Energy, permanently balance mental energy and physical body energy, and synthesize Sage Chakra.
In other words, it allowed one to remain in Sage Mode permanently. According to Vegapunk's tests and estimates, maintaining Sage Mode permanently could indeed extend a Ninja's lifespan considerably, but
