The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

After traveling several hundred meters, Hongzhi noticed two venomous snakes hiding behind a rock. They didn't come to block his way, which is why they were still alive.

After the yellow python in front stopped, Hongzhi saw a stone platform on which a lazy but unusually fat white-scaled snake was resting.

Its snake tail was gripping a fan, which looked quite impressive.

"To see eyes like these again is truly amazing."

When the White Snake Immortal saw Hongzhi's eyes, there was a distinct and special quality in his gaze.

"The cultivation method for Sage Mode".

Hongzhi didn't care about what this guy said and spoke up directly. If this guy said anything more useless, he would be sent to heaven to serve him.

The White Snake Immortal remained silent, its tail slowly rising. Hongzhi subconsciously looked upwards and saw a stone dragon head carved above the stone platform, holding a huge scroll in its mouth.

The scroll was rolled off by the snake's tail and placed directly in front of Hongzhi. Then, the White Snake Immortal became lazy again.

"Here's what you wanted."

The White Snake Immortal spoke calmly. If it hadn't sensed the terrifying natural energy within this person, it wouldn't have been so easy to talk to!

Hongzhi slowly unrolled the scroll and began to study it. It clearly recorded the cultivation method of the Dragon Cave Immortal Mode, as well as the various immortal techniques that could be used after successful cultivation.

Hongzhi was very satisfied with this. With these, his cultivation system could be further improved, and the immortal techniques on it were also very practical.

If there was one thing that made Hiroji feel there was a problem, it was the material that could be used to construct the converter.

Chapter 317 Eternal Immortal Mode?

The fact that the converter for the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode requires the venom of the White Snake Sage surprised Hiroji.

Although the slug's acid was already outrageous enough, the venom was even more unexpected for Hongzhi. However, it wasn't unacceptable; even ten more white snake immortals couldn't poison Hongzhi to death.

As for Orochimaru, there's naturally no problem with that. Even Kabuto Yakushi could learn it. If Orochimaru, who has perfectly fused with Hashirama's cells, can't learn it, he might as well just find a block of tofu.

After memorizing the contents of the scroll, Hongzhi looked at the White Snake Immortal beside him, which made the originally calm White Snake Immortal a little nervous.

If this guy hadn't disbelieved it, it probably would have been in serious trouble.

"Let's begin. If you're not lying, I can let you stay alive."

Hongzhi stretched out his right hand and spoke casually. Seeing this, the White Snake Immortal did not hesitate and bit him directly.

Hongzhi could clearly feel a strange natural energy carrying venom spreading directly from his arm.

The White Snake Immortal retreated immediately, while Hongzhi closed his eyes and slowly guided the energy to build a converter within his body.

There are many differences between the converter in Ryuchi Cave and the converter in Shikkotsu Forest, so Hiroji doesn't need to worry about direct conflicts.

This process was not fast, but rather slow. Hongzhi had no idea how much time had passed, nor how Orochimaru had changed.

After the converter was perfectly constructed, Hongzhi could feel a surge of new natural energy flowing into his body, but unfortunately, the White Snake Immortal's venom was also slowly being consumed during this process.

Although the speed was slow, it was still consuming energy. When Hongzhi opened his eyes, he clearly felt purple eyeshadow appearing on his eyes.

Apart from that, no other changes occurred to his body. This is the perfect Sage Mode, at least for Ryuchi Cave.

The scroll had been placed back in its original location by the White Snake Sage, and Orochimaru was slowly training in Sage Mode.

"How much time has passed?!"

Hongzhi asked calmly, "The construction of the converter is relatively slow. Compared to the converters in Shikkotsu Forest, which can be accelerated by healing abilities, the one in Ryuchi Cave is quite risky."

"one day."

The White Snake Sage answered somewhat nervously, fearing that this guy might turn on it and refuse to acknowledge its snake nature, especially after learning that Sage Mode couldn't be permanently saved.

"Keep an eye on him. If something happens to him, the entire Ryūchi-dō can finally have a meeting together."

Hongzhi left behind these words and directly entered the Divine Might Space.

Learning Sage Mode is just the beginning. The next step is to improve the converter, then fuse the converters from Shikkotsu Forest and Ryuchi Cave, and engrave them into the body.

Inside Ryuchi Cave, the White Snake Sage looked at Orochimaru, whose aura was somewhat unstable, and suddenly felt a little panicked.

It had no doubt about what that guy said, but cultivating Immortal Mode was inherently prone to accidents. Otherwise, why were there so many snakes in Dragon Cave, and why could most of them use Immortal Arts?!

But ensuring that this guy doesn't have any accidents is really a difficult task.

Within the Divine Might Space, Hongzhi was unaware of the White Snake Immortal's thoughts. At this moment, he had already drawn the specific changes of the Dragon Earth Cave Converter on the scroll.

What's needed now is to mimic and modify it so that it can be constructed without the White Snake Sage's venom.

This matter is not particularly difficult. When Hongzhi improved the Shikkotsu Forest Converter last time, it did take a lot of time, but this time it will not take as long. After all, practice makes perfect.

Three days later, Hiroji looked at the completely transformed Ryuchi Cave converter and felt very satisfied. In addition, Hiroji also discovered something interesting: the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave had no time limit.

In other words, as long as the converter hasn't failed, it won't fail even if you keep using Sage Mode. This is probably why Kabuto Yakushi can maintain Sage Mode for a long time.

However, upon closer reflection, Shikkotsu Forest seems to be the same; as long as the skin modified by the acid is not damaged, one can continue to use Sage Mode.

The weakest one is undoubtedly the Myoboku Sage Mode, which will dissipate over time.

However, the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku is relatively easy to cultivate, and no converter is needed to enter Sage Mode later.

It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but Mount Myōboku always feels a little lacking. After all, the former two have such long-lasting combat capabilities, and they only need to replenish the necessary venom and acid to enter Sage Mode for an even longer period of time.

After completing the conversion, Hongzhi took out the scroll of the Shikkotsu Forest Conversion Device, began to compare the two, and gradually merged and converted them.

The material they found at the beginning was their own blood, which left Hongzhi speechless. But now he thinks it was pretty good. If this step is completed, then the converter can be modified directly inside the body.

It's just a little more blood loss, nothing to worry about.

Hongzhi studied it slowly, and the human body on the new scroll was soon completely marked. When the last area was finished, the corner of Hongzhi's mouth turned up slightly.

It became.

With his eyes closed, Hongzhi followed the instructions on the scroll, releasing attribute-free natural energy from his lower dantian to rampage through his body and construct the extra converter.

The blood that flows out during this process is directly absorbed by natural energy and then used as material for the inscription converter.

The research took about five days, but the construction took a full half month. However, the converter, which started from the lower dantian, successfully completed the final step.

Hongzhi found a place in the ninja world with abundant natural energy and began to directly absorb it.

As soon as he began to absorb it, Hongzhi noticed a change. Not only did his absorption speed increase significantly, but the natural energy, which was originally only slightly red, also gained a hint of purple.

The red eyeshadow is similar to the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode color, while the purple eyeshadow is similar to the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode color.

As the two fused natural energies entered his lower dantian, a warm feeling came over him, and Hongzhi saw the converter, which had been completely engraved in his flesh and blood, reappear.

It connects with those parts that have not yet been engraved into the flesh and blood, and then, with the influx of new natural energy, it is gradually engraved into the flesh and blood.

Seeing this, Hiroji was overjoyed, which meant that the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest and Ryuchi Cave had been completely integrated and engraved in his body.

Then the natural energy absorbed in the future will not only carry the characteristics of Shikkotsu Forest, but also the characteristics of Ryuchi Cave.

If the two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan are considered the so-called Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, then Hongzhi's current Sage Mode training could be considered as:

Eternal Immortal Mode.

Chapter 318 I can give it a try

Hongzhi shook his head helplessly. Although that could be understood, what truly made the Sage Mode last forever was not just the inscription on the converter.

There are also the three dantian that transform the illusory into the real, and the natural energy channels that connect all parts of the body.

After the converter was completely engraved, the remaining poison in Hongzhi's body had no effect. Hongzhi forced it all out and collected it in a bottle.

Ryuchi Cave is still very valuable, but the White Snake Sage and the poisonous snakes inside are no longer of any value. Let Orochimaru choose one that is willing to obediently become his summoning beast, and the rest can be made into soup.

However, the problem is that Hongzhi doesn't know how to make soup, and Orochimaru probably doesn't either, so they still need someone who can cook.

After careful consideration, Hongzhi felt that the most suitable person was still Uchiha Itachi. Among the resurrected powerful figures, he was probably the only one who could cook.

There are some things I need to discuss with Itachi Uchiha, since Sasuke Uchiha has been searching for Itachi Uchiha's whereabouts throughout the entire ninja world recently.

Although they haven't been beaten up yet, it's probably close, since they're almost at Sasori and Deidara's location.

One of the best things about the Flying Thunder God mark, which is inscribed using natural energy, is that people who don't know how to use natural energy can't detect it at all.

Deidara and Sasori did not have the Flying Thunder God mark on their bodies, but Sasori's puppet did have the Flying Thunder God mark. It was the puppet that was basically left idle at the beginning of the battle, which was Sasori's usual hiding place.

As for the Flying Thunder God mark on Uchiha Sasuke's body, it is on his Kusanagi sword. Unless Uchiha Sasuke is brain-dead, he will not give up this sword.

Inside Ryuchi Cave, the previously lazy White Snake Sage suddenly became alert, and the surrounding natural energy began to surge towards Orochimaru, who was cultivating nearby.

The White Snake Sage was extremely nervous. Success or failure hinged on this moment. If he succeeded, another person would master the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode. If he failed, Ryuchi Cave might encounter serious trouble.

Under its tense gaze, Orochimaru began to undergo some changes, the most obvious being the small horn that appeared on his forehead.

Upon seeing this, the White Snake Immortal finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't the most perfect form, the final result was still quite good. At least this form would definitely not lose consciousness and turn into a poisonous snake.

A few minutes later, the surrounding natural energy gradually returned to normal flow, and Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes.

He had purple eyeshadow near the corner of his eyes, although he had it before, but the two were not the same thing.

At this moment, he had mastered the Sage Mode he had always dreamed of, and felt that his strength had been enhanced in an unimaginable way.

"Congratulations on successfully learning Sage Mode. You can take this scroll back and study it carefully."

The White Snake Immortal took out a scroll and calmly said that it contained immortal techniques. Although there was only one scroll containing the most essential techniques, there were many other scrolls containing copied immortal techniques.

Thank you.

Orochimaru was relatively polite; at least he wouldn't directly break ties with the White Snake Sage. After accepting the scroll, Orochimaru prepared to leave Ryuchi Cave.

With Sage Mode, he could call himself the White Snake Sage in the ninja world without any problem. When he summons Manda in the future, that guy wouldn't dare to speak disrespectfully.

However, before Orochimaru could leave, he noticed that the space beside him was becoming distorted, and then Hiroji, wearing a vortex mask, appeared directly in Ryuchi Cave.

"It seems you've succeeded too. Now you can focus on researching soul techniques, although I feel that might no longer be necessary."

Hongzhi sized up Orochimaru and calmly spoke. As the Totsuka Blade absorbed more and more Yin attribute energy, Hongzhi felt that his dantian itself was also undergoing a transformation. However, until the very last moment, Hongzhi had no idea what this transformation would look like.

However, considering the characteristics of the Grim Reaper, it is highly likely that it is a soul. If that is the case, then perhaps the research on soul secret techniques can be ended directly.

“It is still necessary to study the secret arts of the soul. I don’t want to be constantly disturbed by those guys who occasionally catch their breath.”

Orochimaru spoke casually. With Sage Mode, his strength had increased several levels. Putting aside everything else, if he were to face Hiruzen Sarutobi in his current state, it would probably be a complete crushing defeat.

Without needing the power of the Impure World Reincarnation, he could easily crush his opponents. Similarly, if he were to face Jiraiya or Tsunade, his strength would be significantly higher.

"Then I look forward to your good news."
