In Ryūchi Cave, "Grandmother", the incarnation of White Snake Sage, took Akaseki and Orochimaru all the way to the underground stone plain composed of vast white rocks outside the temple.
"Although there is no test,...Sage Mode's own danger will not disappear because of this. I want to confirm with you one last time, are you really going to try it?" White Snake Granny asked seriously after holding up his cane.
"Of course!" Akaseki said directly.
But Orochimaru looked around and asked, "Lord White Snake, if you fail... what will happen?"
Orochimaru I heard Jiraiya say that once Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode starts to lose control, the body will show signs of frog transformation, and when it fails completely, it will turn into a stone statue...
Therefore, where Jiraiya practices, there are many half-human, half-frog stone statues!
But Ryūchi Cave here...
There is nothing, everything is white rocks in all directions, up and down.
"Jiejiejie, once the Nature Energy you absorb begins to exceed the limit of what you can bear, your mind will begin to be affected. If you can't get rid of it, you will gradually lose your memory and rationality... and finally turn into a snake."
White Snake Granny paused and then said, "Of course, now that your body is full of Nature Energy, you can't waste it. The old body will be responsible for letting you return to nature... Ziliu."
Looking at White Snake Granny's greedy look, her way of "returning" seems to have been foreseen.
"It's not the body, but the mind that completely transformed into a beast..." Orochimaru was silent for a moment. "The body? Of course not, Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave transformed the body." White Snake Granny said matter-of-factly.
Different from Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku...
Under Ryūchi Cave and Sage Mode, the body becomes animalized and alienated, which is normal and is an "effect" rather than a "side effect". The real side effect is mental alienation!
Honestly...
As a result, Orochimaru feels that Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave seems to be more likely to lose control!
After all, on Mount Myoboku's side, when Nature Energy began to lose control, although his body began to alienate, he still had consciousness and rationality, so he still clearly wanted to get rid of this situation subjectively.
However, the spiritual alienation here in Ryūchi Cave... once it starts, it may directly "step into madness".
After hearing this, Akaseki and Orochimaru also thought of the simple villagers outside...
That seems to be the case with them, just... the symptoms are minimal!
Physically, their muscles will be extremely active, but the price is that their brains will become unclear.
Sage Mode, who really practices Ryūchi Cave, seems to be the enhanced type of that situation... both "effects" and "side effects" are strengthened!
"So... Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode are aimed at the spirit?" Akaseki also heard Orochimaru talk about it. "No, those leprosy Toad's Sage Mode, is to strengthen chakra, and the side effects are also reflected in chakra, whether it is physical or mental, it is just a manifestation. Once chakra is completely out of control, it will cause itself to completely solidify, looking like it has turned into stone." White Snake Granny said calmly.
"As for the Sage Mode that is really the opposite of Ryūchi Cave, it is actually the Sage Mode that is the big meat bug of Shikkotsu Forest... It can strengthen the spirit, but the side effect is that it makes the body lose control. Once it is completely out of control, it will eventually turn into a mass of meat that will continue to grow... It can be used as fertilizer in Shikkotsu Forest."
White Snake Granny also talked about the effects and side effects of Shikkotsu Forest and Sage Mode.
"Of course, it's not like there's no chance at all..." White Snake Granny seemed to be afraid of scaring Akaseki, and said back, "In the early stages, everyone will inevitably fail several times... At this time, it can be saved."
Seeing Akaseki and Orochimaru looking over, White Snake Granny stroked his cane again and said, "That's it!"
"This is our Ryūchi Cave's sacred object "Dragon-Subduing Staff". When your body is obviously transformed into a snake, just hit your seven inches with this and you can escape from Sage Mode." White Snake Granny introduced.
But after hearing this, Akaseki was confused. "Huh? Grandmother, what you said about the body turning into a snake... isn't it normal?"
Akaseki thought that he understood it wrong--didn't it mean that physical alienation is normal, and what is out of control is the mind?
"This is about the secret to controlling our Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode..." White Snake Granny said eloquently.
"Physical alienation is indeed normal, but it is necessary to avoid completely becoming a snake, so as to minimize the mental erosion. And if I see that you are completely inclined to become a snake, I will know that you are losing control."
Akaseki also understood at this time...
Although there are ways to stop loss of control,... mental loss of control is very difficult to detect. Akaseki understands this especially well!
Let alone outsiders, if it is really a "subtle" influence, even oneself has to "carefully appreciate" it before he can discover it.
At this time, controlling the external physical alienation is a trick...
Because this "Nature Energy" comes from White Snake Sage, the most out-of-control way of physical alienation is "complete snake transformation".
If it advances normally and Sage Mode is still under control, the alienation of the body will show individual differences instead of simply turning into a snake.
In other words, when it looks "snake-like" to a certain extent, it is definitely correct to interrupt!
At the same time, when you still have some mental strength left, try not to develop in a snake-like direction, but to alienate yourself in your own way. This is also a "little trick" to fight against mental loss of control.
From Sage of Six Paths to Orochimaru, it was believed that strengthening the body can combat this kind of loss of control. The reason is exactly this - the body and spirit are originally an inseparable whole!
If you resist losing control physically, you will become more resilient mentally.
At the same time, Akaseki also understood the reason why Uchiha Hagoromo entrusted "Ryūchi Cave" to the Uchiha Clan but did not mention the other two holy places for the time being...
Uchiha Clan has strong mental toughness and can better resist side effects, but its body is relatively weak, which can be compensated for by Sage Mode from Ryūchi Cave!
But... "Lord White Snake, you said that in the "early days", everyone is bound to fail a few times?" Orochimaru confirmed after realizing something.
White Snake Granny had a weird smile on his wrinkled face and said, "Yes, the number of failures is the highest in the early stages."
"But it's not easy first and then hard, it's the opposite, right?" Orochimaru asked with certainty.
Well, there are more failures in the early stage, not because the later stage is simple, but because... if you fail once in the later stage, it will be gone, and there will be no chance to try multiple times!
"That's right, mental loss of control is always difficult to control and detect, and the further it gets to the later stages, the harder it is to completely avoid the physical snake transformation. Therefore, you still have to rely on yourself to overcome it in the later stages..."
In the early stages, it can be interrupted if it looks a little like a snake, but in the later stages... it will look more or less like a snake!
At this time, there is no chance for outside help to interrupt, so I can only rush forward on my own, either to succeed or... to give White Snake Granny a toothbrush sacrifice.
"How about it, do you want to give up? Manda's little friend." White Snake Granny had also noticed at this time that Orochimaru had the aura of Manda on him.
Although Manda is not a "fairy", he is also a top "thug" in Ryūchi Cave. It has occasionally been channeled recently, and White Snake Sage naturally knows about this.
"No, I think... this is good." Orochimaru said calmly.
Orochimaru said so, Akaseki can't even be cowardly.
... Seeing that the two of them were ready, White Snake Granny took another cane, and suddenly the lifelike snake head on the top of the cane came to life...
Akaseki just looked at it, and felt something "bad" in his heart. He immediately instinctively turned on "Sharingan", but it was still a step slower!
Under "Sharingan", the snake head has already rushed over, and the trajectory can be seen, but because it was turned on too late, the body had no time to avoid it.
The next moment, the snake head on the cane stretched out its neck and sprang out, biting Akaseki's neck!
Immediately Akaseki felt something being injected into his body, and then... his whole body began to feel boiling.
Unlike venom, which can be squeezed out at the physical level, this "power" has no entity, and it is useless to control muscle contraction. As soon as it enters the body, it begins to penetrate into the muscles, bones, and meridians, and the most important thing is... it begins to combine with chakra!
Moreover, the physical sensation is not like ordinary snake venom, which can cause paralysis. On the contrary, it makes the body's senses more sensitive!
At this moment, Akaseki felt an indescribable scratching sensation in the blood flow, and at the same time, the muscles began to rhythm, and the muscles and bones began to snap...
It's not just a twitch, but... the muscles and bones are growing crazily.
"It's not about resistance, it's about control... Don't pay too much attention to your body, let nature take its course physically, and pay attention to your spirit!" White Snake Granny reminded the voice.
When he heard this sound, Akaseki immediately realized something was wrong!
It's not a physical abnormality, but something wrong mentally and emotionally. Just when I was paying attention to my body, I was unconsciously affected mentally. But...
Akaseki is very sensitive to this effect - it feels so similar to the one after "Deep Immersion"!
Not only is it sensitive, but this is also Akaseki's strength...
The second door·Gate of Healing, open!
Akaseki opened the first two doors of "Eight Gates Technique" and strengthened his brain area. The rate of mental erosion suddenly slowed down, and Akaseki even began to eliminate the erosion bit by bit...
