Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 250 Both Man and Snake Were Startled

"Is...is it really that exaggerated?"

Once Sage Mode stabilized, Uchiha Gen was startled by the scene on the ground and in the sky.

Flowers rained down from the sky, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground?

Then Uchiha Gen became happy again...

Because the image itself shouldn't be ugly in this kind of scene, right?

Upon realizing this, Uchiha Gen took out a mirror he had prepared beforehand to check his own appearance, and was then startled.

Eyes with divine lines, forehead with celestial markings, a halo around the head, surrounded by sacred hymns?

In the world of cultivation, this appearance wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a Great Luo Golden Immortal, would it?

In addition, his handsome face makes him look incredibly appealing; he's very intimidating at first glance!

"Haha... What a pleasant surprise!" Uchiha Gen laughed heartily.

His design philosophy for his immortal form differs from that of the three holy lands; instead of gathering natural power locally, he gathers it in a targeted manner.

Because of the influence of his past life, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to go to mines, forests, rivers, volcanoes, and the earth to collect the power of nature.

In addition to these five places, there is also the mountaintop closest to the sun and moon, where the essence of the sun and moon is collected.

If I'm not mistaken, it's precisely because these natural energies fused with chakra that Sage Mode was born.

The seven-colored halo in his mind should represent Yin, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Yang.

This immortal form is far inferior to the flawed immortal forms of the three holy lands, and even the most perfect immortal form lacks the aura of immortals and gods.

In terms of appearance, if the perfect immortal forms of the three holy lands are heavenly soldiers and generals, then the flawed immortal forms are ox-headed and horse-faced demons.

Moreover, it not only looks good, but its self-enhancement is also among the best in the perfect immortal mode, with a risk-free 15-fold increase!

Tsk tsk, although it's a 15-fold increase in the power of the technique, not a 15-fold increase in overall strength, it's still a rather terrifying increase.

Uchiha Gen felt that he could be more arrogant after returning to Konoha, and he could do some things that he had previously hesitated to do.

The increase in skill level and the increase in overall strength are two different concepts; the latter is far more terrifying.

The next moment, Uchiha Gen's smile vanished, and he got up and went outside.

Despite his efforts to restrain himself, Uchiha Gen's lips were still parted in a wide grin.

Even someone with professional training couldn't control this; it's truly amazing.

It's like casually buying some lottery tickets and suddenly winning the jackpot. At first, who can stay calm?

Upon opening the door, Orochimaru saw the image of Uchiha Gen, including the White Snake Sage and three high-ranking snakes.

Although the spectacular sight of flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses emerging from the ground had disappeared, the remaining phenomena were still enough to astonish both people and snakes.

The aura... no, the aura of immortals and gods was so strong that even the White Snake Immortal, an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, was stunned.

"So this is the Sage Mode you created? It's truly sacred and ethereal."

Having lived for a thousand years, the White Snake Sage was the first to regain consciousness. His aged face showed amazement as he stared intently at Uchiha Gen.

The White Snake Sage transformed himself into the form of an old woman, instead of the White Phosphorus Serpent.

"Thank you for your praise. I would have had a hard time succeeding without your help."

"I have a suggestion that might enhance the magic of Ryuchi Cave."

Uchiha Gen bowed slightly and said sincerely.

"Oh? Please speak," the White Snake Immortal asked, somewhat curiously.

"I suggest that the great serpent in Ryuchi Cave, who has reached the conditions for cultivating immortal arts, should collect more of the natural energy emitted by the moon."

"At the same time, gather the corresponding natural energy based on your own strengths."

"I understand the latter part, but what about the former?"

"I believe that snakes are yin in nature, while the natural energy emitted by the moon is the most righteous and pure yin energy."

Although the moon in this world was created by the Sage of Six Paths and his brother Hamura Otsutsuki using the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei technique, and Kaguya Otsutsuki is sealed inside, it should still be useful.

Since this world possesses extraordinary power, he believed that the Taiyin Star was ancient and unique, and that the countless other moons were merely projections of its power.

"I think this should be good for you; I feel most comfortable when I absorb the natural energy emanating from the moon."

Gen Uchiha suffered the most when absorbing the natural energy emitted by the sun, followed by fire, metal, earth, wood, and water.

"Of course, this is just speculation, and you'll need to verify whether it works."

The White Snake Immortal nodded slightly: "I understand your good intentions, and I will send a snake to try."

"How's the spell's boost?"

"Fifteen times," Uchiha Gen said with a smile.

"hiss……"

The three high-ranking officials, Orochimaru and Orochi, all gasped in shock, realizing they had done their part to make the world warmer.

However, their surprises differed somewhat; Orochimaru was simply surprised, while Orochimaru's feelings were more complex.

The White Snake Immortal looked slightly surprised and said, "It's actually twice as much as the fourteen-fold increase of the Perfect Immortal Mode in Ryuchi Cave. That's truly remarkable."

"The reason we were able to achieve such a large increase is because of the accumulation of Ryuchi Cave over a thousand years. Otherwise, even if we succeeded, we could not have achieved such a large increase."

"I have to thank you and Ryūji-dō for your generosity."

Hearing these words, Princess Ichikishima's resentment vanished, and the three high-ranking Orochi and the White Snake Sage's goodwill towards Uchiha Gen increased greatly.

"You're a smart kid, and with your decent skills at such a young age, your future is limitless."

This passable strength is not an exaggeration from the perspective of the White Snake Immortal.

The Toad Sage had witnessed the internal strife within the Otsutsuki clan, and the White Snake Sage had naturally heard of it as well.

Thank you for your kind words.

The White Snake Immortal sensed something: "Although you have taken a new path, the immortal techniques stored up in my Dragon Earth Cave can still be used as a reference."

"Get the keys from those three. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."

Having said that, the White Snake Immortal's body disintegrated...

"Thank you, White Snake Sage," Uchiha Gen bowed deeply.

After the White Snake Immortal left, the three high-ranking serpents stayed behind to chat for a while. They agreed on a time to meet again, and each left a key before departing.

"Your talent is truly enviable. I reckon it will take me quite a while to learn Sage Mode."

In the original story, it took Naruto about half a month to learn the accelerated version of Sage Mode, while it took Jiraiya at least ten years to learn the normal version.

Of course, these ten years do not refer to the time Jiraiya spent constantly studying Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku, but rather the time he spent studying intermittently.

"The student surpasses the teacher, and the new wave pushes the old wave forward. If I am inferior to you, teacher, wouldn't that prove your failure?"

You should be happy.

"That makes some sense. What are your plans going forward?"

"Referencing the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave, I exchanged Sage Techniques with the three high-ranking Orochi masters, and then returned to Konoha."

"I should go back as soon as possible. After all, I'm not the same as before, and it's not good for me to be away for too long."

"And you, teacher?"

As he spoke, Uchiha Gen deactivated Sage Mode.

"I plan to stay in Ryuchi Cave until I learn Sage Mode."

"After leaving, refine your immortal arts and continue various experiments and research."

"By the way, we need to add one more item to future research."

"Add what?" Uchiha Gen asked, puffing out his eyes at the opportune moment.

"Regarding the research on beautifying the Sage Mode image, I estimate that my Sage Mode image will not look very good."

Uchiha Gen laughed: "You still care about your image?"

"I didn't care at first, but now I do."

"If one day we, master and disciple, stand together to fight the enemy, we can activate the Sage Mode together."

"The difference in appearance is too great, wouldn't I lose face?"

"If our appearances were similar, it wouldn't be a problem, but comparisons are always a bad thing."

Uchiha Gen gave a thumbs up and said, "Teacher is right, your understanding is very profound."

"I believe this research won't be difficult for you; it's only a matter of time."

The Mitsuki Sage Mode video I saw on Douyin is pretty cool.

How could Orochimaru, who acted as both father and mother, not have contributed to this?

Orochimaru didn't say much, just smiled confidently.

The master and apprentice chatted for a little while longer before going their separate ways to do their own things...
