Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

Longdi Cave.

Inside a temple deep within the Hidden Village.

The White Snake Immortal lay on the bed, a pipe dangling from his mouth.

He took a puff of his cigarette intermittently.

A puff of white mist slowly escaped from his mouth.

"I wonder if that brat has started practicing immortal arts yet?"

"Probably not, otherwise they would have died long ago."

The White Snake Immortal murmured.

After finding Orochimaru, a human skilled in scientific research, she also attempted to pass on the Sage Mode to him.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru's soul talent was lacking, preventing him from cultivating Sage Mode, and his body was not strong enough to withstand the influence of her Sage Mode.

After Orochimaru recommended Uchiha Ao...

After some observation

That's why she decided to give this descendant of the Six Paths Old Man a chance.

"Is the immortal here?"

Suddenly, a call came from outside the main hall.

Uchiha Ao's voice rang out from outside the door.

"What is it?"

The voice of the White Snake Immortal echoed in the main hall.

Subconsciously, he straightened his body and tried to appear more solemn.

"My lord, I have some questions I'd like to ask you about that snake-script document."

Qing said sincerely.

"Come in..."

The doors to the main hall opened automatically.

The interior environment was revealed.

After Qing entered, she looked around. The environment was simple, with almost no decorations, and snake patterns were carved on the walls.

Several unidentified stone statues stood in the darkness.

The White Snake Immortal was lying on an extravagant bed, his pure white snake body fully displayed before him.

The scales on its body were faintly visible.

Without the white mist that shrouded them during their first meeting, they lost some of their mystery and appeared more concrete.

"Did you understand?"

The White Snake Immortal slightly raised his eyelids, revealing a pale yellow vertical pupil.

The snake scales on its body rustled softly, as if concealing something, and made a strange creaking sound.

"Yes, immortal! I am puzzled. That document records a method for cultivating natural energy."

"I don't understand this at all. Is it possible to cultivate in a soul state?"

Qing spread her hands and asked curiously.

"I remember that in the soul state, there are no physical meridians at all. How can natural energy be preserved? Is there some connection between the soul and natural energy?"

This was his biggest question.

The soul belongs to the realm of mysticism, and its past experiences are not worth considering.

There is absolutely no knowledge in this area.

Although the research he initially encountered with Orochimaru involved the Reanimation Jutsu, which deals with the soul, his actual understanding of the soul remained superficial.

"Natural energy is a force without any attributes, and together with spiritual energy and physical energy, it constitutes the three fundamental forces of the entire world."

"If we must distinguish between different types of natural energy..."

"Perhaps we can differentiate them by the source of their natural energy."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The White Snake Immortal paused, shook his pipe, exhaled a smoke ring, and his expression became playful.

"Source? The source of natural energy is... the power generated after all things die?"

Qing proposed a hypothesis, which he deduced based on certain substances that dissipate during the death process.

"No, your understanding is too one-sided."

The White Snake Immortal, with his pipe in his mouth, shook his head.

"Natural energy is the original energy generated by the atmosphere, geology, and life cycles of the world. Mountains and rivers, and all things, emit natural energy in the process of their existence. Everything is natural."

"Natural energy represents the vitality of the entire world."

Even a gentle breeze can generate natural energy.

"Without natural energy, the world would completely collapse."

That's it!

Qing nodded in sudden realization, and then raised a completely new question.

"Do immortals know about the Impure World Reincarnation?"

A hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the White Snake Immortal, but he remained silent.

This technique has never been revealed to date.

It's unclear.

"It's a forbidden technique created by the Second Hokage that can summon the dead from a place called 'Pure Land' back to the mortal world to fight."

Ao gave a brief introduction to the abilities of the Impure World Reincarnation, and then raised his own questions.

"What I'm curious about is why the bodies of the dead summoned by this technique can remain indestructible and possess unlimited chakra. How exactly is this extraordinary state achieved?"

These are the two most important abilities of the Impure World Reincarnation.

I simply can't understand how Tobirama Senju created such a forbidden technique.

Even with the scroll of forbidden techniques, he couldn't figure out its secrets.

"Pure Land..."

Upon hearing this title, the White Snake Immortal seemed momentarily dazed, then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"This is the greatest enemy of Ryuchi Cave..."

"That place possesses countless natural energies. The technique you mentioned probably obtained the natural energy of the 'Pure Land' through some kind of contract. With the entire Pure Land as its backing, it can easily obtain endless chakra."

"The so-called immortality is even simpler."

"As long as chakra exists, one can create a body to house one's soul in the form of a 'clone' and exist in the present world."

"Before the Pure Land was created, there were countless members of the 'Ninjutsu' who had this form."

"The natural energy generated by these people's attachment to the present world is one of the sources of power for our Ryūchi-dō."

This was the first time Qing had felt the terrifying and violent soul power of the White Snake Immortal.

Upon hearing some of the Ninja Clan's secrets, his pupils contracted.

I was completely stunned.

Could this be one of the truths behind the so-called disintegration of the "Ninja Cult"?

In a world without a pure land, ninjas who have refined chakra are not willing to die when their lifespan is exhausted. As long as their chakra is not depleted, they can maintain the existence of their souls and will indefinitely...

Hiss, then the number of ninjas will only increase.

Ultimately, it consumed all the natural energy of the world like a parasite.

It's somewhat like an alternative sacred tree.

No wonder!

The old man of the Six Paths would give up his near-eternal life and choose death to create another world for the dead.

"A thousand years ago, there was no such thing as a Pure Land. After all things died, the soul power that constituted the soul dissipated, forming the original natural energy, and then giving birth to new life."

"The natural energy back then was far more abundant than it is today."

"After the Pure Land was born, the soul could not remain in the mortal world completely, which caused the violent, evil, and bloodthirsty natural energy that originally belonged to our Ryuchi Cave to become much scarcer."

"This has led to the snake race now staying indoors and no longer daring to roam the mortal world..."

The White Snake Immortal said viciously.

The decline of Ryuchi Cave was entirely blamed on the Sage of Six Paths.

"If one day you can reach the level of the Six Realms, I hope you can destroy the Pure Land and establish a more just world of souls."

The words fell.

The White Snake Immortal looked over, his gaze filled with anticipation.

It seems that they hope this descendant of the Sage of Six Paths can surpass his ancestor and change the current state of the ninja world.

"Why do you feel that the Pure Land is unfair? I know about the Sage of Six Paths; it's rumored that he was our Uchiha ancestor. It's a bit unreasonable to ask me to fight against our ancestor... What kind of price can you offer?"

Qing countered with a clear statement: Liu Dao was his ancestor, and he deserved extra money.

He didn't quite understand the White Snake Immortal's jealousy.

It seems that the existence of the Pure Land has not affected the existence of the Holy Land. In fact, the Sage of Six Paths has a good relationship with Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest, and they have a deep connection.

It has no connection with Ryūji-dōng, except that it has no connection with Ryūji-dōng.

Could it be because the Sage of Rokudo made things difficult for Ryuchi Cave?

That's why the old white snake woman harbored resentment in her heart.

"Because the Pure Land... after collecting the souls of those evil people, they imprisoned them in that world, preventing them from reincarnating, ostensibly to wear down their malevolence, but in reality, they were intercepting the natural energy of our Ryuchi Cave."

"That is why I created the art of separating the soul from the body, intending to compete with the Pure Land for these souls."

"Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and I am unable to contend with the Six Paths Elder."

"If you can agree to this, then I will do my best to help you complete your spiritual practice of drawing energy from nature with your soul."

The White Snake Immortal sighed, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, like a bullied little wife, evoking sympathy.
