NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 5: Perfect Sage Mode? Prototype of Immortality Technique!
Chapter 5: Perfect Sage Mode? Prototype of Immortality Technique!
"Absorbing natural energy?!"
After receiving the information in his mind, Ishihara was astonished.
Wasn’t this exactly the path to immortality he had been pursuing?
Without hesitation, he immediately activated the Heavenly Demon Tattoo.
Instantly!
He felt a slight itch on his back as a strange eye-shaped tattoo quickly formed.
Buzz—
He then felt the powerful, vast natural energy.
At this moment, he felt as if he had merged with nature, and natural energy began to pour into his body.
The natural energy increased rapidly and soon reached a balance with the chakra in his body.
Just as he was about to worry, the natural energy stopped increasing.
It balanced itself!
Ishihara was pleasantly surprised, not expecting the Heavenly Demon Tattoo to have such a hidden advantage.
He walked to a mirror to check his state and raised an eyebrow.
His eyes had turned golden, surrounded by golden eye shadow!
There was also a golden spot on his forehead, making him look extremely noble!
Apart from this, there were no other changes to his body!
"Perfect Sage Mode!"
A term flashed through Ishihara’s mind.
He could feel his physical qualities had significantly improved.
Both his strength and speed!
"This feeling is like... transforming into a completely different life form!"
Ishihara took a deep breath.
This state was powerful, but it wasn’t what he was pursuing!
Next, he deactivated the Sage Mode!
Instantly!
All the natural energy dissipated!
His strength and speed returned to their previous levels!
Ishihara was a bit disappointed.
This was far from the immortality technique he envisioned.
His body was merely a storage container for natural energy.
However, this was a good start; it was already the embryonic form of an immortal technique.
“The next step is to try to fuse natural energy with the body!”
Calming himself, Ishihara continued to review the information on the Curse Seal.
After reading through it, he understood why Orochimaru was stumped.
The Curse Seal was created by Orochimaru using Jūgo's ability to enter Sage Transformation, combined with his own chakra, and the transformation of the technique!
Jūgo's chakra, capable of Sage Transformation, was extremely violent. Even Orochimaru's chakra couldn't suppress it, let alone dominate and merge with it.
“Perhaps this research is also useful for creating immortal techniques!”
Ishihara mused.
As for Orochimaru's problem, it wasn't an issue for Ishihara, who had already mastered the Heavenly Demon Tattoo.
“You actually solved the problem of the Curse Seal?!”
Orochimaru stared at Ishihara in disbelief, not hiding his shock.
Ishihara remained calm. “Yes, it's not very difficult.”
Through the Curse Seal incident, he suddenly realized something.
To grow quickly, he needed a lot of important, confidential information and experiments.
And only Orochimaru could provide these now!
So, being a genius wasn't enough; he had to shock Orochimaru.
Only then would Orochimaru assist in his growth.
Now it seemed the effect was quite good.
“Not difficult?”
Orochimaru licked his lips, feeling his throat dry as he looked at Ishihara.
For the first time, he felt defeated!
Even when he saw the terrifying power of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, he only felt excitement, no defeat, but rather an insatiable desire!
But now, looking at Ishihara, he truly felt the insurmountable gap between them!
The smarter someone is, the more they can sense the fear brought by such a gap!
And Orochimaru was precisely such a person who could sense fear!
It rendered him speechless!
Looking at the silent Orochimaru, Ishihara calmly said:
“Yes, these problems are not difficult. What's difficult is achieving immortality, but I believe even that won't stump me!”
At this moment, his young face was filled with confidence!
As long as immortality was the lure, Orochimaru would never harm him.
All he needed to do was continually prove himself and enhance his strength in the process.
That would be enough to ensure Orochimaru's full cooperation!
They were just using each other!
“Oh? Do you have any ideas?”
Orochimaru's spirits lifted, and he eagerly asked.
Ishihara secretly laughed to himself.
Just as expected.
“If we want immortality, both the body and soul must achieve it!”
“As for the body, my Body Refinement Technique is the embryonic form of an immortality secret technique!”
“As for the soul, I need to learn more about genjutsu and soul-related knowledge!”
Orochimaru's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
Though he was currently researching the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique, he too desired both the body and soul to achieve immortality.
He just couldn't do it before!
But now, it seemed he had a chance!
Orochimaru took a deep breath, his eyes gradually firming up.
If it was Ishihara, he might just be able to do it!
If he could really develop an immortality secret technique, any cost would be worth it...
“I will provide you with enough information!”
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Ishihara smiled inwardly.
“Alright!”
“I hope you won't disappoint me!”
“Of course not!”
...
Ishihara's life returned to its previous routine.
Every day he either read and studied or ate!
As time passed, his body grew rapidly, five centimeters a month!
This left Orochimaru dumbfounded.
During this time, Ishihara began deliberately studying genjutsu and soul-related knowledge.
Just as he told Orochimaru.
He not only wanted his body to achieve immortality but also his soul!
Genjutsu: Tree Binding Death!
Genjutsu: Darkness Technique!
Various genjutsu became his foundation and enlightenment, constantly flashing in his mind.
Until one day.
