Shockwave Sensing is ultimately a kind of perception ability, and perception abilities are generally linked to mental power, that is, to the soul.
The stronger the soul, the stronger the perception ability.
It took Uya about half a month to continuously cultivate and enhance its Shockwave Sensing, eventually allowing it to fully incorporate Natural Energy into its perception range.
Even far from the Totsuka Blade and without the flow of Natural Energy, Uya could still sense the Natural Energy in the world, which was like a vast ocean.
Previously, it was impossible to capture Natural Energy, like trying to catch the moon's reflection in a well; its traces were hard to discern. But now that we have a direction, making an effort has become much simpler.
Moreover, through the perception of Natural Energy, Uya finally added color to the world she perceived, which had been black and white!
Natural Energy itself possesses the power of perception. In the Sage Mode state described in the original work, not only are speed and strength greatly enhanced, but perception is also amplified.
Uya hasn't started cultivating Sage Mode yet, but after he was able to sense Natural Energy, he seemed to be able to slightly control Natural Energy!
By controlling Natural Energy, Uya was able to merge her Shockwave Sensing with her Natural Energy perception, finally opening up a whole new world.
Even without cultivating Sage Mode, he was already able to control the Natural Energy around him; this was an ability granted by Uya's Quake Release.
The Power of Tremors also has an effect on Natural Energy!
Uya can influence the flow of Natural Energy by shaking the surrounding void.
When this process is refined to a finer level, it becomes about controlling Natural Energy.
When Uya discovered that he could directly control Natural Energy, the problem that had been difficult to solve for so long was finally solved!
Uya had long had an idea for the Sage Mode he needed, but he was stuck at the threshold because he couldn't control or easily sense Natural Energy Natural Energy.
Now, Uya has finally crossed that threshold.
Some places are extremely narrow, which can be called bottlenecks, but once you get past these bottlenecks, a whole new world awaits you.
Through Shockwave Sensing and Natural Energy, Uya discovered that everything in this world possessed inherent fluctuations, even without deliberately sensing their existence through air vibrations.
Even things that are still can be detected through Natural Energy, and their fluctuations can be sensed.
It is precisely because of this that Uya's perceived world is able to be enriched with color.
After Uya's Shockwave Sensing combined with Natural Energy, he seemed to be able to establish a connection with everything within his perception range.
It seems that something essential has been grasped.
The range of the Shockwave Sensing did not expand further, but within the existing range, the power of perception was greatly enhanced. There was no need to perceive the existence of objects through air vibrations, so Uya's perception was much less restricted.
Having made a breakthrough in perception, Uya once again focused her attention on Natural Energy, that is, Sage Mode.
What lies before Uya now is Sage Mode he created himself, unique to him. It possesses neither the characteristics of Toad, nor those of a snake or Katsuyu; it belongs solely to Uya.
If it were a matter of cultivating a particular Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku or the Shikkotsu Forest of Ryūchi Cave, Uya would probably have succeeded long ago. Even if he hadn't succeeded, he wouldn't have stagnated; he would have certainly made progress.
But Uya's heart was never confined to a single direction, so Uya continued to research instead of choosing to cultivate. And this limitation finally allowed him to push open the last door.
Of course, the Sage Mode created by Uya is not yet perfect; it is only a prototype. There are still risks involved in directly cultivating it.
Over the next period of time, Uya began to try to gradually improve this prototype of Sage Mode and make it more suitable for himself.
Finally, with absolute certainty, Uya began training in Sage Mode!
Through the Shockwave Sensing, Uya confirmed that he could control Natural Energy, and even if the Natural Energy went out of control within his body, Uya could use the Power of Tremors to instantly expel the out-of-control Natural Energy from his body.
It's just like when Naruto was training in the original story, and Fukasaku hit him with a black stick, instantly knocking out Natural Energy.
Unlike Naruto, Uya can control this 'stick' on his own.
The Power of Tremors can expel Natural Energy from the body, so the risks of cultivating Sage Mode are almost non-existent for Uya. As long as Uya is a little careful, there is no possibility of any more problems.
In the original story, Naruto had an extremely large amount of Chakra, and with the help of special oils at Mount Myōboku, as well as the wholehearted guidance and teaching of Fukasaku, he mastered Sage Mode in a very short time.
In comparison, Uya's Chakra reserves are also extremely high, standing at the Peak Kage Level, even stronger than the average Peak Kage Level, and can be considered to have one foot in the Super Kage Level.
Furthermore, Uya has another advantage over Naruto.
That is, Naruto needs to absorb Natural Energy step by step through meditation, while Uya can sense and control Natural Energy Natural Energy Shockwave Sensing, and can even absorb Natural Energy while moving!
Uya's Sage Mode Sage Mode is unique to him, and even his cultivation method is completely different.
Uya did was not to communicate with Natural Energy, but to forcibly control Natural Energy, just like Madara Uchiha stole Hashirama Senju's Senjutsu energy.
Uya didn't know how long Naruto took to train in Sage Mode in the original story.
One week? One month? Three months?
It's not explicitly stated in the original work, but Uya mastered Sage Mode... in just ten days!
It sounds incredibly fast, but it's actually quite normal, even a little slow for Uya.
Because Uya had already overcome the most difficult hurdle of perceiving Natural Energy, controlling Natural Energy was also extremely easy for him Uya, given his ability to use the Quake Release and his soul being far stronger than that of ordinary people.
Both of the most difficult hurdles were overcome in one step. The rest was simply a matter of allowing Natural Energy to integrate with one's own Chakra and spiritual energy, which meant increasing proficiency.
Buzz!!
Natural Energy surged continuously, with the vast majority flowing into the Totsuka Blade beside Uya, while a small portion was absorbed by Uya, who was sitting cross-legged there.
Within Uya's body, Natural Energy and Chakra merged perfectly, and a faint red dot appeared intermittently between Uya's eyebrows.
The red dot gradually solidified, transforming into a rhombus shape similar to Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Technique between her eyebrows, which was also part of Uya's Sage Mode facial makeup.
Once it became completely clear, Uya finally activated Sage Mode!
