Chapter 312 The Perfect Sage, Kabuto
Chapter 312 The Perfect Immortal Pharmacist Kabuto
"Chiba the Hermit is just ahead."
The Three Snake Princess led the way, taking Tetsuya into a darker cave.
However, the natural energy inside this cave has become more abundant.
Deep inside the cave, Tetsuya saw a white-haired young man sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The natural energy around him continuously flowed into his body and combined with his chakra, becoming a brand new power.
This is the method of cultivating immortal techniques in Ryuchi Cave, and the white-haired youth is none other than Orochimaru's assistant, Kabuto Yakushi.
He has been practicing immortal arts here for two years.
Long after Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha ended, Orochimaru took Kabuto to Ryuchi Cave to train in Sage Mode, following Tetsuya's previous advice.
However, some problems arose after arriving at Ryuchi Cave.
Because Tetsuya had given the White Zetsu's body to Orochimaru for research beforehand, Orochimaru, after regaining a body that perfectly matched his soul, once again became interested in Sage Mode.
However, he had a psychological trauma from his first experience of practicing immortal arts, so he did not accept the White Snake Immortal's test again. Instead, he carried forward the spirit of scientific research and began to conduct experiments by constantly communicating with the giant snake and spirit beasts in the Dragon Cave.
After all, these giant snakes had lived in Ryuchi Cave for a long time, and their bodies were rich in natural energy. He thought of using this natural energy to conduct experiments, combining his own curse seal with Jugo's innate sage body to develop his own sage technique.
At first, everything was fine, but as the research deepened, the White Snake Immortal also realized that something was wrong.
After discovering that Orochimaru was behind it, he used the Reverse Summoning Technique to summon Orochimaru to Ryuchi Cave.
After that, Orochimaru and the White Snake Sage's conversation didn't go so well, and the two ended up fighting.
The Orochimaru of today is not what he used to be. After fighting with the White Snake Sage, he ran away. Since then, the relationship between Orochimaru and Ryuchi Cave has become somewhat complicated.
The White Snake Sage dislikes Orochimaru, but this doesn't stop Orochimaru from using the summoning beasts from Ryuchi Cave.
After all, the giant snake in Ryuchi Cave is either a spirit beast with little intelligence or a rebellious snake that doesn't listen to the White Snake Immortal.
Now that Orochimaru has brought people here to learn Sage Mode, the White Snake Sage is naturally unwilling to teach them.
Ultimately, Orochimaru had no choice but to call Tetsuya.
Then Tetsuya showed the giant white snake what a true immortal was like. After Tetsuya's kind and friendly greeting, the White Snake Immortal chose to follow his heart and arranged for Kabuto to receive instruction in immortal techniques at Ryuchi Cave.
Since then, the Three Snake Princesses have adopted their current attitude.
Even the strongest White Snake Sage in Ryuchi Cave was no match for Tetsuya. After being taught a lesson, he hasn't dared to show his face and is still recuperating. Needless to say, the three little minnows are no match for him.
Tetsuya looked at Kabuto Yakushi now; Kabuto was almost unrecognizable.
Its skin was covered with a layer of fine white scales, and at first glance, it looked just like a human-shaped snake.
On the head of Yakushi Kabuto, horns resembling dragon horns have grown.
This means that he is about to succeed in cultivating his immortal arts and will soon undergo a transformation, shedding his serpentine form and ascending to become a dragon.
"Hoo~!"
Just as Tetsuya was observing Kabuto, Kabuto, who had been motionless like a statue, suddenly let out a long sigh.
Then he opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
There was no colorful glow or any unusual celestial phenomenon; he simply stood up as if he had been sitting for too long and wanted to stretch his legs.
But the more ordinary something seems, the less it should be underestimated. If his judgment is correct, Kabuto Yakushi has already achieved the most perfect Sage Mode.
Moreover, he is different from Kabuto Yakushi in the original timeline. Although Kabuto in the original timeline also had a perfect Sage Body, he was no longer perfect. He had transplanted cells from the Sound Four, so Kabuto Yakushi was no longer pure.
But the current Kabuto Yakushi is different; he is simply himself, his true self. Although he lacks some of the abilities of the Sound Four, his overall strength has actually increased rather than decreased.
After all, once you reach a higher level, it's not necessarily better to know more things. On the contrary, mastering something purer might lead to greater improvement.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Chiba."
He adjusted his glasses, smiled, and greeted them.
"It's been so long, Dou. I thought you weren't going to wake up yet. I was about to wake you up just now."
Tetsuya looked Kabuto Yakushi up and down.
"You've changed quite a bit in the past two years."
"Hehe, Sage Mode, it'll be a little different once it's activated, but it's fine once it's off."
As he spoke, the scales on Kabuto's body receded, his horns disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance.
He's just a bit taller than he was two years ago, and his demeanor has become more composed.
"Not bad, you control it well."
"It's alright. Although it can't compare to Mr. Chiba's otherworldly appearance, I'm still quite satisfied with it."
Having witnessed Tetsuya's Sage Mode once, Kabuto Yakushi could never forget that otherworldly appearance.
After completing his Sage Mode, he compared it several times and finally concluded that it was incomparable.
"Hey, why are you comparing yourself to me? My situation is rather special, and I'm not on the same path as you guys."
Upon hearing everyone mention their sage-like mentality, Tetsuya waved his hands repeatedly.
From the very beginning, Huang Bai said that the Immortal Path of Huangpizi Tomb is completely different from that of the other three holy sites.
To put it simply, the Immortal Mode of the three holy lands is more like borrowing power from gods. Therefore, after activating Immortal Mode, a person's appearance will change, and they will exhibit the characteristics of the three holy lands.
The immortal mode of the Yellow Weasel Grave involves cultivating immortality on one's own, acquiring one's own power, and requiring a long period of time to comprehend the power of heaven and earth.
One's cultivation progresses relatively quickly, while the other requires a long period of time to accumulate experience.
It should be noted that Kabuto only spent two years cultivating Sage Mode, and in those two years he had already created this perfect Sage Mode.
As for Tetsuya, not long after he transmigrated, he obtained a contract with the Yellow Weasel Grave and began to cultivate immortal arts with Yellow and White. At that time, Hashirama was still alive.
"Boss Chiba, you're here to see me at this hour, so the ninja world must be starting to change, right? Is there any mission you need me to complete?"
Kabuto Yakushi confidently adjusted his glasses.
He has gained valuable experience and is now eager to go out and see where his abilities rank in the current ninja world.
"Indeed, the ninja world is already in turmoil. I do have a mission for you to complete, and only you can do it well."
Upon hearing Tetsuya say that only he could do his best, Kabuto already had a guess in his mind.
"Is this an undercover mission? Whom do I need to infiltrate this time?"
