Konoha: Who's the good guy?

[The red-labeled items 'Golden Skin Immortal Robe' and 'Immortal Body' have been detected as potentially fusionable. Initiate fusion?]

"Yes."

[Fusion complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the red attribute 'Natural Immortal Body'.]

[The red affix "Natural Sage Body" has been detected to have a buff effect on the purple affix "Wood Release Successor". The effect of "Wood Release Successor" has been greatly enhanced, and it has been upgraded to the red affix "Wood Release Jinchuriki".]

boom!

Yamanaka Kei's Sage Chakra aura instantly surged by nearly double, and the azure chakra glow became even brighter and more dazzling than before.

Skin, muscles, meridians, bones, internal organs—all organs are being hammered and cleansed by Sage Chakra.

The two small dragon horns on his forehead, formed from pure Sage Chakra, grew slightly longer.

The semi-transparent chakra aggregates that originally surrounded him, resembling neither dragons nor snakes, transformed directly into majestic and ferocious dragons with prominent horns and heads!

"I'll go back and try out some basic melee combat with Tsunade!"

Feeling his physique and strength being fully enhanced once again, Yamanaka Kei clenched his fist slightly.

Although the Sage Mode was not a normal power, it did not advance directly after the attribute fusion.

But he could sense that this entry was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through the limit of the red entry!

Moreover, this seems to be a completely different path from that of the Otsutsuki clan!

As for the [Wood Release Jinchuriki].

Based on the powerful natural energy abundant in Sage Chakra, Yang Release Chakra Nature Transformation is once again incorporated into the Bloodline Limit originally composed of Earth Release and Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

This is already considered to be eliminated by bloodstains!

Hashirama Senju, you watermelon rind! Everyone thought you had a bloodline limit, but you eliminated us with your blood!

Shameless...

No wonder Madara, the reincarnation of Indra, was still beaten to the ground by you even after activating the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

Are these two in the same league?!

Princess Tashin, Princess Ichikishima, and Princess Tsuruzu flew up from below the long staircase of the main hall when the natural energy began to fluctuate.

Looking at the White Snake Immortal who straightened up from the bed with a serious expression.

And there was Yamanaka, whose body was filled with powerful Sage Chakra and boundless life energy, and whose aura was so strong that it was completely unlike that of a human.

The three snake queens swallowed hard.

They have cultivated immortal arts for thousands of years.

It's obvious that this human in front of you hasn't received any magical energy from the White Snake Immortal.

This is the immortal mode.

It's even more perfect and terrifying than the orthodox Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode!

Can......

How is that possible?!

The White Snake Immortal shook his head slightly as he faced the gazes of the three Snake Princesses.

It doesn't understand it, but it knows it.

This human in front of him is definitely not someone he can control!

Simply by coming to the Dragon Earth Cave, which is full of natural energy, and seeing these immortal cultivators, they mastered the perfect immortal mode without any teacher.

Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't have been this good in his mortal life!

"What a pity..."

The White Snake Immortal murmured to himself, then lay back down on the couch with a bored expression.

They possess this rare talent and special physique.

But it did not become a vessel for gathering power, nor did it become delicious food.

They could only watch helplessly, unable to eat it.

Is there anything more agonizing than this?

Shan Zhongjing slowly calmed the restless power within his body and exited the immortal mode.

As he sensed the specific applications of Sage Chakra passed down in Ryuchi Cave within his mind, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

I think I understand now why the White Snake Sage infused his own bloodline and Sage Chakra into the contractor.

"Accelerate the learning process of immortal arts, grant contractors stronger physical attributes and unique serpentine talents, enhance their control over immortal art energy and its upper limit, and then recycle them after they've fattened up?"

The mountain scenery shifted towards the white snake immortal reclining on the couch.

With one hand forming a hand seal, he used the Mind Transmission Technique to sense the surface consciousness and thoughts of the White Snake Immortal through the memory reading technique contained within it.

"...What you humans need is greater power, isn't it? I'll teach you immortal arts and give you power. It's a fair trade."

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the White Snake Immortal.

They did not resist this sudden mental connection.

It was simply a bit surprised that this guy actually knew the secrets hidden in the Dragon Cave Immortal Technique.

Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do something like this!

"Hmm, that makes sense. How many contractors have you eaten?"

"Who will remember those insignificant beings who coveted power and were devoured by it?"

"Someone who has mastered Sage Mode?"

"It's just a matter of absorbing the magical energy from their bodies and souls after they die. What good is there in a pile of decaying, old, lifeless flesh? It's all buried outside."

"...Is the Sage of Six Paths doing the same thing?"

"have no idea."

The White Snake Immortal glanced at the mountain scenery with surprise.

It seemed that they had never expected the other party to ask such a question.

"You actually have such a strong sense of contractual obligation?"

Yamanaka Kei looked at the White Snake Immortal with a strange expression, without delving into the suspicious points about the Six Paths Immortal.

Although under the restrictions of the summoning contract, summoned beasts are normally unable to directly attack the contractor.

Can......

Are they really just going to honestly lend money and collect interest?

It only eats those who have failed, and only absorbs the power cultivated by the contractor after their death.

Yongji-dong, so rule-abiding?

"Inheritance relies on order; once something is destroyed, it can never be undone."

The White Snake Immortal's gaze was distant.

Countless groups of spirit beasts that disappeared into the long river of history flashed through my mind.

"..."

The mountain scenery nodded slightly.

Those who come to Ryuchi Cave are all seeking power.

The items belong to Ryūji-dong; whether or not they are passed on, and how they are passed on, is naturally up to them.

Without your presence, people are obligated to teach you lessons.

Although injecting one's own bloodline and Sage Chakra forcibly accelerates the Sage Technique training process, it increases the chance of failure.

However, for ordinary people, the gains are far greater than those from normal cultivation.

As for the power that was painstakingly cultivated and absorbed after death.

Everyone is dead.

Is there a difference between going to the Pure Land with your chakra and going to the Pure Land with all your chakra absorbed?

Do you really think everyone is an Asura or Indra, capable of reincarnating with their own will through chakra?

The White Snake Immortal's actions...

For a large snake that believes in the law of the jungle, this is quite restrained.

Aside from the lack of prior notice.

There doesn't seem to be anything to complain about?

"Will you help me with psychic abilities in the future?"

Shan Zhongjing abandoned his desire to spar with the White Snake Immortal and turned to look at the three Snake Princesses to the side.

"Hehe~ Of course, it's been a long time since my sister and I have been out to see the world."

Princess Tsurugi spoke before her two sisters could.

She's lived for over a thousand years, and she's not stupid; how could she not see through the White Snake Immortal's attitude?

They couldn't afford to mess with this man!

only......

This chakra, which is like the blazing sun and full of natural energy and vitality, smells so good!

Is there any way to take a puff without getting beaten to death?
