The Different Schools of Sage Mode

"I... I believe you, but for the safety of our village chief, I must test it out before allowing her to cultivate and promoting it in Nadeshiko Village."

Changye gripped the Scroll tightly, his face resolute.

In her view, Jiraiya provided such a simple method to prove its authenticity, which meant it must be true; otherwise, wouldn't she have easily exposed it with a simple question?

So there's no need to ask again.

Because of Jiraiya, she had already left a bad impression on the higher-ups of Amegakure. The best course of action now was to minimize her presence and wait for them to forget what had happened today.

"Keep it up! Also, never let your guard down just because there are shortcuts. If you don't take the shortcuts thoroughly, the Natural Energy will be extremely dangerous, especially on your first try."

After giving a serious reminder, Jiraiya stood up and prepared to leave.

This time, Changye didn't stop Jiraiya. After watching Jiraiya leave, she jumped off the roof and found a hotel to begin her experiment.

She needed to make sure she could cultivate before she dared to bring it back to the village.

As for how to take shortcuts?

joke.

How many years has she been single?

Living in Nadeshiko Village by female ninjas, how could they not be involved in classic intangible cultural heritage handicrafts?

On the other side.

After leaving the command tower, Shirozumi arrived at Orochimaru's experimental base.

Orochimaru had already received the contents of the Scroll and began analyzing it.

With Shirozumi's arrival, a conclusion can already be drawn.

"It is mentioned that Konohamaru extended the so-called Frog Kumite, not because the Enma Clan can transform into Adamantine Staff, but essentially it is a use of Natural Energy."

Jiraiya trained in the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, as did Naruto, but he used a shortcut that minimized the characteristics of Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu.

Konohamaru and Kakashi, who were taught by Naruto, were one level below that level.

Senjutsu should be like Ninjutsu; Senjutsu utilize Natural Energy, Ninjutsu utilizes Chakra.

There can be different types, but there shouldn't be different schools of thought.

Different schools of thought ultimately lead to the same goal.

In my opinion, Shirozumi Mojun and the Sage of Six Paths, who purely utilize Natural Energy for attacks, represent the true Sage Mode.

Konohamaru's ability to extend the Frog Kumite is essentially similar to the Inorganic Reincarnation in Ryūchi Cave. It combines the Frog Kumite with the Inorganic Reincarnation mechanism, directly activating and manipulating Natural Energy.

Konohamaru is a pretty good kid with both talent and luck.

However, in my opinion, this is still not the end of the Sage Mode concept.

"Oh? This isn't the end? Do you think that Sage Mode like Big Brother's is the end?"

Tobirama Senju chimed in from the side.

Although he doesn't know Sage Mode, as a research ninja who has developed countless forbidden techniques, he has a deep understanding of the principles of Sage Mode.

"No, do you still remember that future Sasuke?"

Orochimaru shook his head slightly, "Even with Inorganic Reincarnation, one still needs to absorb Natural Energy, condense Senjutsu Chakra, and then use Senjutsu Chakra as a consumable to achieve the desired effect."

However, Sasuke's Kirin was different. At that time, he had less chakra than Kakashi, but he was able to use very little chakra to draw upon the lightning of nature and cause enormous damage.

In my view, this is the ultimate concept of Sage Mode —using minimal self-consumption to draw upon the power of nature to launch an attack.

That is, directly utilizing the ubiquitous and inexhaustible Natural Energy within nature itself.

At this point, Orochimaru's gaze returned to Shirozumi.

Orochimaru had never witnessed the power of the Keystone that Shirozumi gave to Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi, but he had personally witnessed the Orochimaru of the one that Tsunade.

That's what he meant by the Sage Mode, which draws power from inexhaustible Natural Energy.

The laboratory fell silent.

After a while, Orochimaru came to his senses and smiled as he looked at Amado, who was silently and diligently working on the other side. "However, my understanding of Senjutsu has indeed improved a bit, and I can start adding Senjutsu Mode 'entries' now. I wonder if anyone needs them?"

"What? Really?"

Upon hearing this, Amado finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Amado, as a scientist during the Boruto era, is very pragmatic.

If he were a purely emotional person, he wouldn't have failed to clone his daughter. Even if the cloned entity was essentially a different life form, it wouldn't have turned into a vicious and ruthless person like Delta.

Amado understood the dangers of the Shinobi World and knew that even if he resurrected his daughter, she would still die a violent death if she didn't have enough strength. That's why he added countless combat genes to Delta.

Using the terminology commonly used by Orochimaru and Shirozumi, it could also be called "battle vocabulary," which caused the originally kind daughter to turn into a tomboy with a completely opposite personality who likes to stomp on people.

Amado created Delta first, and then created Kashin Koji.

Even if he mastered the principles of Senjutsu after creating Kashin Koji, he still couldn't add it to Delta.

Furthermore, given Delta's personality, Amado could no longer treat her as his daughter. So even if it were possible to add entries to a living person, similar to a high-level version of Kabuto the Sage, Amado wouldn't do it.

In short, Amado pragmatic and realistic. When his daughter was seriously ill and on the verge of death, his only wish was for her to live and recover.

But his daughter, Akebi, is now receiving treatment.

Furthermore, with precedents like Ringo Ameyuri and Kaguya Kimimaro, who were cured of similar terminal illnesses, he no longer needed to worry about ordinary survival.

So, Amado needs to worry about next is naturally the threat from the Shinobi World and the threat from the Ōtsutsuki.

Amado's thoughts naturally aligned with those of the Amado from the Boruto era, who was still working for the Kara Organization.

However, creating a new android and adding entries from scratch is relatively simple.

Adding it directly to a living person is on a completely different level of difficulty and danger.

Like Kabuto Yakushi in the original work, all one can say is to do one's best and leave the rest to fate.

Kabuto Yakushi Kabuto Yakushi a certain foundation, but it's impossible for him to say that he has fully mastered the principle of obtaining genetic power by transplanting other people's cells and adding entries.

He didn't even use anesthesia during the fusion process, wanting to stay awake through pain so he could detect any issues promptly.

Kabuto Yakushi doesn't use cell transplantation now, but the principle is the same.

Everyone present understood.

Orochimaru's very first words immediately delighted Amado.

"Cursed Seal, cells, and all those other things—we've studied so many fundamental principles, and now we're blossoming into something new. Is there anything strange about that?"

Orochimaru shook his head at Amado's excited expression.

But then I thought, Amado has only been a member for a short time, so it's normal that he doesn't understand.

From this moment forward, the Shinobi World will have three, or rather, four Sage Mode.

Fundamentalist, the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave.

A slight modification to fundamentalism, a shortcut-taking Sage Mode reminiscent of Naruto.

Orochimaru surpassed the Cursed Seal version of the gene-modification transplantation technique in his Sage Mode.

There's also Shirozumi's cheat-like Sage Mode.
