The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 92 Extinguish Your Powerful Flame

Ordinary chakra is formed by the fusion and cohesion of physical and mental energy in a balanced manner.

Sage Chakra, also known as Sage Power, is a power created by absorbing the natural energy around the body and merging it with one's own physical and spiritual energy in a balanced way.

Its power is beyond doubt; even Six Paths level beings cannot ignore it. It can also comprehensively enhance the strength of ninjas and is a piece of the puzzle in the Uchiha Muan Power Plan.

Moreover, this combination of the three into one, a typical concept of essence, energy, and spirit, made Uchiha Wu'an, a transmigrator, immediately think of cultivating immortality.

In addition, there were those other beings who had lived for over a thousand years and called themselves sages. Rather than waiting for Orochimaru and others to grow up and drive the evolution of their bloodlines, he preferred to try to integrate Sage Chakra into his own system through the Ascension Point System, forming a power system that could continuously climb upwards.

That was the beginning of Uchiha Muan's journey to immortality, freeing him from the shackles of chakra and bloodline.

After lunch, Uchiha Muan arrived outside Konoha Village, where two green toads had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Lord Hokage, I am Fukasaku, an elder of Mount Myōboku, and this is my wife, Shima."

Knowing that the Great Toad Sage valued Uchiha Takeoshi, the two toads humbly introduced themselves. Uchiha Takeoshi then got straight to the point, saying, "I want to learn the method of cultivating Sage Techniques."

The two toads, who had anticipated this, exchanged a glance, and Fukasaku said, "Please, Hokage-sama, sign this summoning contract."

Shima took out a long scroll of blood pact from behind his back and flipped through it to the end. On it, Uchiha Takeoshi also saw the name of Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

Uchiha Takeoshi, who did not resist bringing Mount Myōboku under his command, readily left his name in blood on it. Then, he saw the two toads disappear with a bang. He directly learned the spatial fluctuation trajectory of the Mount Myōboku secret realm and the coordinates behind it.

Then he felt a spatial teleportation power descend upon him. Without any thought of resistance, he was directly summoned by the Reverse Summoning Technique to the serene and elegant Mount Myōboku, a place with countless exotic flowers and rare herbs.

"Lord Hokage, please come with me. The Great Toad Sage wishes to see you."

Amidst the curious gazes of the toads, Uchiha Takeo followed behind Fukasaku and Shima, his Eternal Eye appearing before his eyes, scanning most of Mount Myōboku through the [Tenjō Ritsu-zun].

He was surprised to see the three toads who were shaped like mountains. What surprised him even more was the enormous toad, the Rock Toad, which was two or three hundred meters long and resembled a mountain rock. He was also surprised to see the Great Toad Sage Gamamaru, who suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at his direction, and showed a gentle smile in the very center of Mount Myōboku!

(Being able to detect spatial fluctuations shows how powerful the old toad truly is!)

Uchiha Takeo'an's heart skipped a beat, and he prepared to teleport away at any moment.

"The Great Toad Sage is inside. Please come in."

Uchiha Muan had already ventured deep into the Hidden Village of Mount Myōboku. Looking at the ancient temple in front of him, he strode inside and immediately spotted the Great Toad Sage sitting on the throne.

"Thank you for making this trip, Hokage-sama."

"I'm rather curious, what's your intention?"

Uchiha Takeoshi revealed his Eternal Eyes, his tone quite gentle, "Could it be that the Great Toad Sage has seen a glimpse of the future?"

"The Hokage is truly insightful."

The Great Toad Sage, after offering a compliment, met Uchiha Takeo's Eternal Eye with gentle words and replied with a mix of truth and falsehood.

"Lord Hokage will pave a new path for the ninja world in the future, and Mount Myōboku will also benefit greatly from it. The reason I am approaching Lord Hokage now is simply that I wish to establish a good relationship with you and allow you to master Sage Mode ahead of time."

"Furthermore, Mount Myōboku is willing to become one of the Hokage's forces."

"Will that giant toad sage also fight for me?"

"You may do as you please with the toad pills."

Such a supple figure made Uchiha Takeo narrow his eyes.

It seems that in the future, this old toad will either gain a lot of benefits or suffer a great loss.

Based on his own temperament, the latter is more likely.

However, since Mount Myōboku has expressed its stance, Uchiha Mu'an cannot simply turn away this force without suffering any losses.

After a brief discussion between the man and the frog, Uchiha Muan left the temple and began to systematically learn the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku from Fukasaku and Shima.

The methods of cultivating immortal arts and the consequences of failure differ among the three sacred sites of Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest. Among them, the immortal arts cultivation at Mount Myoboku will result in being eroded by natural forces and turning into a stone frog if one fails.

"Lord Hokage, the creation of Sage Chakra is to allow the chakra within your body to absorb natural energy from the outside world, and then further maintain the balance of the three energies."

"If there is too much natural energy, it will be devoured by the power of nature; if there is too little natural energy, it will be impossible to condense Sage Chakra and activate Sage Mode."

In a forest of stone frogs, Uchiha Muan sat cross-legged on a high cliff, with the toad sage Fukasaku beside him holding a stick, speaking with a solemn expression.

"Below you are all contractors who once entered Mount Myōboku, attempting to cultivate Sage Mode but failed."

"However, with me here, please feel free to try it. If any risks arise, I can also help you escape the harm of natural energy."

Uchiha Muan glanced at the stick, then nodded, and under Fukasaku's guidance, slowly began to sense the natural energy.

As time went on, Fukasaku's frog eyes gradually widened, and when the Sage Mode-specific eyeshadow appeared on Uchiha Takeo's face, his frog eyes went completely wide.

(On his first encounter with natural chakra, he successfully entered Sage Mode. Is this powerful perception and manipulation of chakra an enhancement from the Sharingan bloodline, or is the Hokage himself exceptionally talented?)

Concealing his surprise, Fukasaku gazed at Uchiha Takeoki, whose eyes had opened and whose pupils in the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had become straight, and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations, Hokage-sama, on successfully mastering Sage Mode."

"But please note, Hokage, that when absorbing natural energy, you need to keep your body still. Sage Mode relies on the Sage Chakra within your body. Once the Sage Chakra is depleted, you will have to exit Sage Mode."

"If Lord Hokage wishes to prolong the battle, he can learn Sage Art: Two Lives Technique, which allows a toad skilled in Sage Art to fuse with you and refine Sage Chakra for you during the battle."

"Or you can use the Shadow Clone Technique to have the shadow clones refine Sage Chakra for you."

"I see."

Uchiha Muan stood up, feeling the Sage Chakra surging within his body. This powerful force made him eager to try it out. He looked down at Fukasaku and asked, "Fukasaku, may I test the power of Sage Jutsu here?"

Everyone wanted to carry the sedan chair, and the higher-ups of Mount Myōboku gave him plenty of face. Uchiha Mu'an wasn't exactly an ingrate, so he recklessly did things that damaged Mount Myōboku.

"This place also serves as a training ground for Sage Mode and Ninja Arts, so Hokage may use it as you see fit."

Sensing the goodwill conveyed by Uchiha Takeo, Fukasaku's tone became even more enthusiastic. Then, Uchiha Takeo opened his mouth and spat out a raging sea of ​​fire within a radius of one hundred meters.

(This power, you must be kidding!)

Seeing that the sea of ​​fire was still spreading outwards, the sweating sage Fukasaku hurriedly shouted, "Hokage-sama, that's enough, that's enough."

"Put away your raging flames and extinguish them!"
