Naruto: Countless versions of myself superimposed at the same time!

"I want to learn."

Kiyohara nodded.

The White Snake Immortal took another puff of his cigarette, seemingly sizing up Kiyohara.

“You already bear traces of other ‘immortal arts’.”

She spoke slowly.

"The toads of Mount Myōboku...right?"

Kiyohara did not deny it.

"Yes, I've seen Jiraiya-sama use that 'Sage Mode'."

Qingyuan Road.

The "Myoboku Mountain Sage Techniques" inherited from Gamabunta Kiyohara can be used as a shield by Jiraiya.

"Ho ho..."

The White Snake Immortal smiled.

"That's good. It's really impressive to have that kind of understanding."

She paused for a moment.

"But do you know what 'immortal arts' are?"

Kiyohara pondered for a moment, then replied:

"Absorb natural energy to enhance one's ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, making them much more powerful."

The White Snake Immortal shook his head.

"You could say that, but you also can't say that."

Her body writhed slightly on the throne. In the darkness where the candlelight couldn't reach, it was like thick black ink, where it seemed as if a long, coiled snake was churning and stirring the darkness.

"Natural energy can indeed amplify the power of your spells, but the true meaning of 'immortal arts' lies not in amplification, but in..."

She paused for a moment.

Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan?

Qingyuan frowned.

Kabuto Yakushi's classic quote: "I have shed my snake skin and ascended to become a dragon!"

Could it be referring to surpassing one's past self?

"Do you know Hashirama Senju?"

The White Snake Immortal suddenly asked.

Kiyohara nodded.

"The God of Ninjas".

"God of Ninjas... Heh heh, that title is quite fitting."

The White Snake Immortal exhaled a puff of smoke.

The ninjas revered the powerful ninja who pacified the Warring States period as the "God of Ninjas".

"That man is an example of Jackie Chan."

Her voice lowered.

"His cells remained active even after his death. His Wood Release could suppress tailed beasts and even absorb their chakra. His chakra reserves were so vast that they surpassed those of ordinary ninjas."

She looked at Kiyohara.

Do you know what this means?

"His 'Sage Mode' unlocked his inner potential."

Qingyuan Road.

Hashirama Senju was the reincarnation of Ashura, who inherited the "physical body of the Sage of Six Paths".

In the early stages, Asura was no match for Indra, but after undergoing arduous training, he quickly gained immense power.

That's because it's a school of thought that needs to be developed.

Of course, in the end, it was only through the power of the Sage of Six Paths and the chakra provided by his companions that he was able to defeat Indra.

The generation of Hashirama and Madara, however, was particularly outrageous.

Hashirama Senju was like a monster who underwent a freakish development, constantly and violently strengthening himself, emphasizing the power to send bricks flying.

To put it another way, his practice of "immortal arts" is like cultivating immortality.

Madara Uchiha's "Perfect Susanoo" was about the same size as Hashirama Senju's "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique".

However, this wooden figure is merely a hat on the head of the Thousand-Armed Buddha, who uses the technique "Sage Art: Wood Release: True Thousand Hands".

It's not even half the size of the Thousand-Armed Buddha's head.

With a single reach, one can grasp the Nine-Tailed Fox in one's hand.

He has a thousand hands like that.

One can imagine how enormous the amount of chakra would be needed to support this Wood Release transformation.

Forced to feign death, Madara Uchiha resorted to using frame counting...

"nice."

The White Snake Immortal nodded in satisfaction.

"Hashirama Senju used 'Sage Mode' to unlock his own potential, pushing the Yang Release power of his physical body to its limit."

She paused for a moment.

"It even surpasses the limits."

Kiyohara's brows furrowed slightly.

The power of Yang Release has surpassed its limits...

Combining this with the powerful vitality of "Hashiro cells" is indeed reasonable.

Even the physical body of Asura, that ancestor, probably doesn't have that much vitality.

The White Snake Immortal shifted his gaze from him, looking towards a certain spot on the roof of the palace.

"Do you know who Hashirama Senju was?"

Gangshou frowned slightly.

She wanted to speak, but heard the White Snake Immortal continue speaking.

"He is a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths."

what?

Tsunade was stunned.

Orochimaru, a believer in science, suddenly narrowed his golden vertical pupils.

Six Paths Immortals?

That legendary creator of the Ninja Cult, a being almost godlike?

Do these myths and legends really exist?

Was Hashirama Senju his descendant?

Kiyohara also pretended to be surprised as if he was learning about this for the first time, while his mind raced.

Of course he knew about this.

But the White Snake Immortal's direct revelation still surprised him somewhat.

Mitarashi Anko was completely bewildered.

Six Paths Immortals?

What is that?

She had a carefree personality like a boy, and she did terribly in her academic studies.

She looked around blankly, completely unable to keep up with the pace of the conversation.

"The bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths flows between his two sons."

The White Snake Immortal spoke slowly.

"The eldest son, Indra, inherited the 'Eye of the Sage' and powerful spiritual energy; the second son, Asura, inherited the 'Physical Body of the Sage' and powerful physical energy."

Her gaze swept over Kiyohara.

"The Uchiha clan are descendants of Indra, and the Senju clan are descendants of Ashura."

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat.

The Uchiha are... descendants of Indra?

Is this the reason why Kiyohara is such a genius?

She subconsciously looked at Kiyohara.

Tsunade thought about it again. Kiyohara was an outlier among the few outliers in the Uchiha clan, just like her grandfather was in the Senju clan.

Because no one else has ever been this outrageous.

"The reason why Hashirama Senju was able to break through his limits was because of the Ashura bloodline in his body."

The White Snake Immortal continued.

"He used 'Sage Mode' to completely unleash the potential within that bloodline."

She looked at Tsunade.

"You have the same blood flowing in your veins, it's a pity..."

The White Snake Immortal didn't continue.

But Tsunade knew what she wanted to say.

Unfortunately, she did not inherit her grandfather's power.

Because her chakra level was too low, only at the "Se" level 8.

"Of course, this is not the limit; we haven't reached the real limit yet."

The White Snake Immortal looked at Qingyuan with a burning gaze.

"The present era belongs to ninjas, but before the era of ninjas, it was the era of gods."

The White Snake Sage began to tell Kiyohara even more ancient stories about the ninja world.

Earth is clearly a special planet.

The local natural energy is extremely rich, which led to the development of techniques such as "immortal arts".

At that time, there were many powerful gods, the most powerful of whom was the Dragon Vein, which had almost unlimited chakra underground.

"Because of the influence of the Goddess of the Rabbit and her other mysterious companion, the gods fell, and the powerful God of the Dragon Veins was also killed. After the war of the gods ended, they planted a giant tree, which began to draw power from the earth, and the age of the gods came to an end."

"Before the ninja era, there was a transitional period, the Ninjutsu era, which was established by the Sage of Six Paths. The Sage of Six Paths defeated the Goddess of the Rabbit, and was able to begin spreading chakra throughout the ninja world. This is the origin of humankind's use of chakra."

The White Snake Immortal continued speaking.

Upon hearing this, Kiyohara nodded slightly.

There are indeed many strange and unusual things in the ninja world.

The Land of Demons, where immortal demons and spirits are born from the darkness of the human heart.

In ancient times, especially when humans did not know how to refine chakra to release ninjutsu, these beings were indeed no different from gods.

Moreover, the dragon vein, that thing, is still in the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

However, apart from the lineage of the Loulan Queen, no one else can use its power.
