After having his fill of mud, Ainz began his serious cultivation.
Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu are primarily offensive, incorporating Senjutsu Chakra. These techniques can disrupt an enemy's Chakra and regeneration abilities, making them extremely sticky. Furthermore, Senjutsu Chakra can be injected into the surrounding environment, controlling all inorganic matter to launch coordinated attacks.
Ainz's skull mask gradually revealed facial markings representing Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode, and he also felt the three Senjutsu Chakra within his body begin to devour and neutralize each other.
The White Snake Sage lit another pipe. For safety, Ainz had already set up the Four Red Yang Formation.
The Little Katsuyu perched on the White Snake Sage's head, looking just like an old friend. " White Snake Sage, it's been so long since we last met."
The White Snake Sage sneered, "A Katsuyu becoming a great immortal? You're just benefiting from the influence of the Shikkotsu Forest."
The Katsuyu wasn't annoyed by the White Snake Sage's ridicule; her current level of cultivation was indeed related to the ancient tree in the Shikkotsu Forest.
Within the barrier, Ainz was surprised to have completed his Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode. The Senjutsu Chakra of Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest was relatively balanced. Although there was a mutual restraint relationship, under Ainz's control, no absorption occurred.
After the addition of Senjutsu Chakra from Ryūchi Cave, the balance was instantly broken, and the chakra was rapidly depleted.
Ainz knew exactly what had happened, and extended his right hand, beginning to solidify another mask.
The White Snake Sage asked, " Katsuyu, what is he doing?"
The Little Katsuyu slowly said, "This is the unique Nuclear Bomb Sage Mode of the Nuclear Ninja Village where Ainz resides. He wants to balance the three major Senjutsu that counter each other by adding another type of Senjutsu Chakra."
"What?!" The White Snake Sage exclaimed in surprise, "He can create his own Senjutsu? Are you kidding me?"
The origin of the Senjutsu of the Three Great Sage Lands is not the three immortals themselves, but the unique Natural Energy of the Three Great Sage Lands. Toad Oil, Shikkotsu Forest leaves, and Ryūchi Cave mud are all keys to unlocking Sage Mode. It is simply impossible to create your own Sage Mode.
The Little Katsuyu nodded. "That's right, he's that powerful, and the power of the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu is terrifying."
The White Snake Sage sneered, "Could it be that it's even more aggressive than my Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu?"
The Little Katsuyu said seriously, "Yes! The Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu is divided into two levels. The first level is simply to enhance strength and Chakra, without any independent Senjutsu."
The White Snake Sage said, "Hehe, that's all. If you only increase strength and Chakra without the support of techniques, it would be a waste."
The Little Katsuyu didn't refute. "Yes, but I just said there's a second level."
What is the second level?
Ainz held nothing back in front of the Katsuyu Sage, and as they chatted, he revealed that he had created his own Senjutsu.
"The second level is Senjutsu, but it can only be used in conjunction with the unique bloodline of the Nuclear Ninja Village — Nuclear Release. Its power is terrifying. If the Senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave focuses on battles between one or a few people, then the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu is about destroying everything. Moreover, its power is not proportional to its own ability value. When it is used beyond its level, everything in front of it is reduced to nothingness with every move."
On the way back from Shikkotsu Forest, Ainz was hungry and wanted to eat fish, so he demonstrated a move called "Sage Art: Thermonuclear Explosion" to the Little Katsuyu, staging a grand scene of the sea boiling the fish.
The seawater within a radius of several miles was boiled and evaporated. If this technique hadn't been dispelled after he had eaten his fill, the sea would probably still be boiling now.
The White Snake Sage was stunned. " Nuclear Release? I've lived for so long, and I've seen all sorts of bloodlines, but I've never heard of Nuclear Release."
The Katsuyu said, "Actually, I don't know what Nuclear Release is either. Ainz once said that the heaviest matter and the lightest matter, the smallest collision, the most complete energy, are a double container, one side is water within water, and the other side is fire within fire. But I've never understood what that meant."
The White Snake Sage shook his head, looking at the giant snakes around him with a blank expression. "What is he talking about?"
Manda, Orochimaru's summoning beast, had come into contact with many forbidden things, but he was still completely baffled. In the end, he sighed innocently, "Alas, it seems that times have changed, White Snake Sage."
The Katsuyu chuckled, "Yes, things have indeed changed. Ainz is merely an avatar; his true form is far more powerful."
"And this is just a clone?!"
Katsuyu said, "But don't worry, everyone. Ainz and his true form's goal is to promote change throughout the Shinobi World, it seems to be some kind of ninja tool revolution. A single Shuriken can destroy a mountain."
Manda imagined the scene of Shuriken destroying the mountain. "Alas, White Snake Sage, times have truly changed."
Within the barrier, Ainz successfully conjured a skull mask, removed his original mask, and put it on.
After the mask was put on, an extremely terrifying surge of Senjutsu Chakra erupted. In the White Snake Sage's perception, the Senjutsu Chakra of the Three Great Sage Lands stopped devouring each other in an instant.
White Snake Sage: "What's going on?"
Little Katsuyu: "I don't know either."
The Senjutsu Chakra from the Three Great Sage Lands flowed into the mask, and the Sage Mode markings slowly appeared on the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu mask, making the originally pale mask become colorful.
Orange eyeshadow, hexagonal black facial markings, and circular green facial markings on the forehead.
The Three Great Sage Lands Senjutsu are completely confined to the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu.
Ainz felt the changes in his body. "The defense and stability of Mount Myōboku, the vitality and regenerative power of Shikkotsu Forest, and the destructive power and control of Ryūchi Cave —all integrated into the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu. Not bad, not bad. With this, Xiao Daocao will definitely become very powerful!"
The surrounding ground began to ripple slowly and uncontrollably.
After dispelling the Four Red Yang Formation, Ainz removed his mask, and the Senjutsu energy vanished instantly, returning the ground to normal.
The White Snake Sage sensed the Chakra fluctuations emanating from the mask. "I never imagined that a child in his teens could create such a powerful Senjutsu. Unparalleled in history!"
The Little Katsuyu climbed off the White Snake Sage's body and returned to Ainz's shoulder. " Ainz, you succeeded. The Chakra of the Three Great Sage Lands has been fused into one; no one has ever succeeded before."
Ainz, hands on his hips, laughed loudly, "Hahaha! I am the embodiment of wisdom and the representative of power! Is there anything I can't do? This technique is called True Sage Mode!"
White Snake Sage: "(°ー°)... Farewell, don't bother seeing me off."
Manda whispered from the side, "The more powerful a person is, the more eccentric their temperament and habits."
Ainz stared at Manda: "Aren't you pretty strange too? One summoning costs a hundred lives, who are you trying to scare!"
Manda said, "It's because we've been eating too much mud and wanted to try something different."
The White Snake Sage was silent for a moment before saying, " Ainz, did you really learn Sage Mode for a little girl's seashell necklace?"
Ainz said, "That's right, how could it be fake?"
"I want to see who that little girl is."
A metallic scale floated out from under the White Snake Sage's neck and landed in Ainz's hand. "This is my scale clone. Use it as that girl's summoning beast."
Seeing the White Snake Sage's generosity, Ainz laughed heartily and sent out a Thermonuclear Orb the size of a head from his right hand, "That's right! So, as a return gift, I'll give you this."
The Thermonuclear Orb flew to the large cauldron that had been made earlier, embedded itself in the bottom of the cauldron, and then spread flames, causing the remaining soil in the cauldron to boil again, emitting the fresh scent of soil.
"This Thermonuclear Orb will keep burning as long as I live. You can use it to cook mud and eat it."
The giant snakes' eyes gleamed. "Oh! How wonderful!"
Ainz collected some more soil, preparing to pack it up and take it with him. "Alright, White Snake Sage. Until we meet again."
After saying this, he and the Little Katsuyu disappeared into the cave.
Seeing that Ainz had disappeared, the White Snake Sage sighed and roared at the surrounding snakes, "You little brats, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and put the mud in, I'm going to have a good meal today!"
Yes, yes, yes!
