Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Currently, Yu Xian feels that she is rather passive in terms of absorbing natural energy.

About twenty minutes later, Yu Xian felt that the natural energy in his body had basically reached saturation, and at the same time, obvious changes occurred in his body.

On Yu Xian's skin, black stripes about a centimeter wide appeared. Yu Xian swung his arm and found that these stripes were somewhat similar to the stripes in the Yin Seal state when it was unfolded. They were actually above the main meridians of his body.

"Is it a natural pathway for natural energy? Is it being naturally drawn by the chakra within my body?"

Stripes covered Yu Xian's body, extending all the way down her arms to her fingertips.

Yu Xian channeled his chakra into his body, drawing upon the natural energy within him. Then, with a gentle flick of his arm, his entire arm easily pierced into the tree trunk beside him.

"That's a bit too violent..."

Feeling the immense benefit of natural energy upon himself, Yu Xian couldn't help but grin.

"Putting aside colored contact lenses and makeup, I did experience the tattoo version, even if it was a less sophisticated version... but a tattoo is still a tattoo."

Of course, given Yu Xian's current mindset, he values ​​the defensive boost that this form brings more than the attack power boost. Killing enemies? What's that? All he thinks about is "survival is the most important thing".

In the original work, after Jugo "transforms into a sage," his combat ability is quite remarkable. His offensive power, damage output, and resilience all rise to the top level in the ninja world... well, the top level except for being truly overpowered.

Unfortunately, as Jugo fully "transforms" into a sage, his mind also goes berserk and he gradually loses his rationality.

While his body was amplified, he lost his mind and fought almost purely on instinct. So, although Jugo's combat performance was amazing in some aspects, he never achieved any overwhelming results.

Putting aside everything else, if Jugo's physical attributes were grafted onto a ninja like Kakashi Hatake who fights using his brain, the situation would definitely be very different.

"Moreover, a good ninja is one who can do sit-ups."

Yuzuru remembered that Jugo seemed to possess some kind of special self-healing or healing ability, which was something worth studying.

"Besides physical enhancement, mixing natural energy into ninjutsu can also increase the power of the technique. Although this mixing is not comparable to Sage Art, it is easier to control... Natural energy is external and can be described as inexhaustible."

"The good news is that I don't have to stay still and absorb natural energy like on Mount Myoboku."

Ryuchi Cave is different from Mount Myoboku. When using natural energy, Ryuchi Cave doesn't care about risk control at all... But in any case, the White Snake Sage really helped Hagen a lot.

"Snake-like transformation? Fine, snake-like transformation it is. Poor people can only rely on mutation."

Yu Xian was worried about whether things would change when he entered the dungeon next time, but he did not regret his previous experience.

"My chakra reserves have increased dramatically, and by some twist of fate, I've also gained control of natural energy... I feel like I've finally gained the right to breathe freely since I came into this world."

After taking stock of her gains, Yu Xian gave a rather emotional yet accurate summary.

This feeling is very real. Originally, Yu Xian, as a commoner ninja with no abilities, always felt like he was about to fall into the abyss, but after this dungeon trip, he felt like he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sage Chakra... Let's give it a try."

Next, Yu Xian even tried to synthesize Sage Chakra, and naturally he failed. He couldn't even grasp the slightest feeling. The so-called combination of spiritual energy, physical energy, and natural energy sounds simple, but how to grasp the "quantity"? Yu Xian had no concept of it at all.

These concepts are all too abstract.

If Sage Chakra is already like this, then Sage Mode is even more so... To enter Sage Mode, one needs to synthesize a large amount of Sage Chakra in a short period of time.

Yu Xian's achievements are already extraordinary enough; he shouldn't even think about achieving instant success.

"After all, it's not the Sage Mode that gets more energetic the more you fight. Absorbing so much natural energy brings a sense of heaviness to my body. Although it's much better than Jugo's Berserk Mode, it's not a state that can be maintained at any time... However, 'Sage Mode' should not be used unless necessary."

On Yugen, the "Sage Transformation" brought about by absorbing a large amount of natural energy is more under control. He is actually different from Jugo and even the Cursed Seal. However, even so, this power still needs to be used with caution.

To treat becoming an immortal as the norm? Even with the weight of an immortal, I can't achieve that.

Subsequently, Yu Xian dispersed a considerable portion of the natural energy on his body, and the special patterns on his body also disappeared... He discovered that when he retained half of the natural energy needed to enter immortality, he basically received positive benefits, but it was hard to say what would happen if he received more.

In other words, it takes him about ten minutes to go from his normal state to his immortal state. This time is acceptable, since he doesn't need to remain completely still during the process.

There are still many changes in Yu Xian that are worth studying, and some questions remain. However, for him right now, practical application is more important than theoretical research, so he will remain in a state of not seeking a thorough understanding for the time being.

After reviewing his experiences in Ryuchi Cave, Hagen took out a scroll and began recording what he had obtained from Orochimaru's laboratory... Compared to what he had obtained from Ryuchi Cave, what he had obtained from Orochimaru was not so important.

Yu Xian did see the software modification technology that he valued most, but after seeing it, he realized that things were not so simple.

Since software modification involves the word "modification," it means that it requires surgery on oneself, which requires professional laboratories and certain medical technology support... Simply put, it is not just a technique, but more like technology and ruthless work.

Yu Xian did not have the means to modify himself.

The good news is that Yugen no longer needs this technology so much... After mastering "Sage Transformation", Yugen's physique has been strengthened to a considerable extent, and he is no longer at the point where he would die if he were just grazed.

"Software modification? It seems unnecessary for the time being. Orochimaru didn't help much, but Ryuchi Cave behind Orochimaru provided great assistance... They arrived at the same destination by different paths."

At this point, Yu Xian already had some doubts. His "chakra spirit body" had been eroded, and if he were to undergo further physical modification, he was worried that he might become a complete monster.
