Sage Art Evolution: Nine Dragons Shining Heaven Art
Manda was somewhat tempted. This was the first time a human had proposed to it to become sworn brothers, especially such a top genius.
"I...of course I'm willing!" Manda said softly.
Uchiha Kō smiled slightly, "Isn't that enough?" Then Uchiha Kō and Manda gathered soil to make incense.
"Sage of Six Paths above, today I, Uchiha Kō, and Manda of Ryūchi Cave become sworn brothers. We do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year," Uchiha Kō said sincerely.
Manda repeated Uchiha Kō's words, and the two became sworn brothers.
Afterwards, Manda rolled up the tree trunk and handed it over. Uchiha Kō used his Ninja Blade to cut it into pieces and arranged them into a bonfire.
Then, Uchiha Kō clapped his hands together and Fire Release: Great Fireball. He controlled the Great Fireball to a very small size, lit the fire, and then ended the Ninjutsu.
The fire crackled and burned, Uchiha Kō used Kunai to slice the venison into pieces similar in thickness to steak.
He then skewered the meat with wooden sticks. He had Manda hold the meat while he fiddled with the wooden frame, as it would be too foolish to keep holding it up by hand to roast it.
After doing all this, Uchiha Kō took the wooden stick skewered with venison and placed it on the wooden stand. The venison visibly transformed from being dripping with blood to exuding a delicious aroma.
The Manda, standing to the side, couldn't help but swallow hard. It had always eaten raw blood and flesh its whole life, and this was the first time it had smelled the aroma of roasted meat. It seemed to smell much better than the raw meat it had ever eaten.
Noticing Manda's expression, Uchiha Kō smiled, then took out seasonings, sprinkled salt and cumin powder on it, brushed on a layer of oil, then flipped it over, and added more seasonings when it was almost done grilling.
After about ten minutes, the venison steak was fully cooked. Uchiha Kō took half of the venison, skewered it with another stick, and handed it to Manda.
Manda accepted the roasted meat without ceremony, said thank you, and swallowed it in one bite. The freshly cooked venison was tender and juicy, bursting with flavor, and infused with the unique aroma of cumin and oil. Everyone who had tried it said it was delicious.
Its eyes lit up. "Delicious! Hey, Brother Owl, how come your meat smells so good when you roast it?" It licked its lips. "It tastes much better than raw."
Uchiha Kō picked up the venison with both hands, took a bite of the roasted meat, pushed forward with his hands, and pulled back with his teeth, tearing off a piece of meat.
He chewed on the meat with a hissing sound, saying, "Hot, hot, hot!" Because the venison smelled so good, he couldn't bear to spit it out, but instead slowly chewed on it, waiting for the meat to cool down.
Seeing this, Manda used its tail to carry a bucket and fetched a bucket of water for Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō swallowed the meat, not caring about the bucket at all.
He lowered his head and took a sip; a cool sensation filled his mouth, relieving the burning sensation.
Uchiha Kō looked up and smiled, "Thanks, brother."
"It's nothing. You haven't told me why your venison smells so good," Manda laughed.
Uchiha Kō truthfully replied, "Venus meat is naturally tender and juicy. Add salt and cumin, then brush on a layer of oil, and it becomes crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside."
"To sum it up, the meat was good, the seasonings were all there, the cooks were skilled, and the hunters were excellent!" Uchiha Kō attributed the success of the barbecue to himself and Manda.
Manda understood, and smiled, "Alright, Brother Xiao, hurry up and eat. You still need to cultivate your Senjutsu after you finish eating." Manda reminded him.
Uchiha Kō nodded, hissing as he ate, muttering, "Delicious, good meat, so fragrant!"
Manda shook his head and looked into the distance.
A short while later, Uchiha Kō finished eating. He patted his full stomach and let out a burp.
"I'm so full~" Uchiha Kō exclaimed.
Manda then bent down and said, "Come on up, I'll take you to the training area."
Uchiha Kō nodded, and in two steps he ran to Manda's head, then sat down. Manda didn't feel anything; Uchiha Kō's weight was insignificant.
Manda slithered quickly into the dense forest, while Uchiha Kō used Susanoo to shield himself and Manda from the branches.
In just two or three minutes, they arrived at the training ground. Manda lowered his head, and Uchiha Kō took the opportunity to get down.
"Brother Xiao, you should get ready for training. I'm leaving now." With that, he turned and crawled outside without looking back.
Uchiha Kō straightened his expression, then opened and closed his eyes, activating Sage Mode! Golden Scale Armor covered his body, his skin was as white as jade, and a Sage mask appeared on his face, protecting Uchiha Kō's jaw like a helmet.
Then he began absorbing Senjutsu Chakra. "Sage Art: Hakugeki no Jutsu!" A dragon and a small dragon phantom flew out. The two Dragon Pearl collided, and in an instant, white light, tremors, and an explosion rang out.
More than a dozen trees in a forest were destroyed, but Uchiha Kō was still not satisfied. He recalled that yesterday, the White Snake Sage's attack had covered nearly a hundred trees, making this attack far inferior.
And so, Uchiha Kō trained day after day, ate meat, and slept. On the fifteenth Uchiha Kō didn't need to open his mouth; he simply spread his arms, and three golden dragons appeared behind him.
Guided by him, the three golden dragons flew to the designated area and then collided with each other. Instantly, the entire forest trembled, a dazzling white light shot into the sky, and the sound of an explosion resounded through the heavens.
The White Snake Sage was taken aback, flew out of Ryūchi Cave, and quickly arrived next to Uchiha Kō.
She stared blankly at the scene before her; nearly five hundred trees had been blown to smithereens, the ground beneath her feet was still trembling, and the white light was still lingering.
The culprit behind all this is smiling on the sidelines, thinking, "I've succeeded! I've finally succeeded! This Hakugeki no Jutsu is now complete!"
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has cultivated the Immortal Technique: Hakugeki no Jutsu and reached the perfect state. The Hakugeki no Jutsu is rewarded with evolution and renamed Nine Dragons Shining Heaven Art."
"Nine Dragons Shining Heaven Art: Circulating Senjutsu Chakra, nine golden dragons roar forth in an instant. Three times three equals nine, hence it is an evolved version of the Hakugeki no Jutsu, and its power is also three times that of the Hakugeki no Jutsu."
As the system explained, it simultaneously inputted the techniques and methods of the Nine Dragons Shining Heaven Art into Uchiha Kō's mind.
"Uchiha Kō, you succeeded! You mastered the Sage Art: Hakugeki no Jutsu in just half a month. It's simply monstrous..." Before the White Snake Sage could finish speaking...
Uchiha Kō raised his hands, and nine golden dragons appeared behind him, each carrying a dragon Dragon Pearl in its mouth. The White Snake Sage was stunned. "Holy crap, is he cheating?!"
Nine golden dragons flew into the distance, and the nine Dragon Pearl collided. In an instant, the whole world fell silent, followed by an explosion of white light that left nothing but barren land in its wake.
The area covered approximately 1,500 trees. The White Snake Sage hurriedly said, "Owl, Uchiha Kō, quickly stop your supernatural power! Half of the forest outside Ryūchi Cave has vanished in an instant!"
"What did you say? I can't hear you~" Uchiha Kō's hearing was affected by the strong vibration of the air, and he was a little confused. He couldn't make out anything from the Sage's mouth shape!
Can a human and a snake make the same mouth shape when they talk?
