Naruto: The village was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I struck oil.

It is breathing.

In an instant.

Natural energy surged toward the seal within the laboratory.

Natural energy flowed into Mu Feng's body through the incantation mark.

Mu Feng felt his own power increasing.

Outside.

Orochimaru and Kabuto were surprised to find that the laboratory was shaking, and all the experimental jars were shaking as well.

The previously windless laboratory suddenly became windy.

With his eyes closed, Mu Feng unleashed an astonishing aura.

That aura forced the two of them to retreat repeatedly.

When did the Heavenly Curse Seal exhibit such unusual phenomena?

Orochimaru and Kabuto were both confused.

Followed by.

Orochimaru suddenly clutched his head and howled in pain.

His will, hidden within the Heavenly Curse Seal, is being bombarded by lightning.

The feeling of being struck by lightning that day was as if it had struck me directly.

Orochimaru felt immense pain.

what! ! !

He let out a scream.

He knelt down on the ground.

He was trembling all over.

The tadpoles of the Heavenly Curse Seal that had been wandering around were also startled and retreated back to their original three tadpole patterns.

The original dark blue color on Mu Feng's body, along with the white lightning, turned into gold.

Golden electric light illuminated the three tadpole-shaped markings.

The three black tadpole-shaped patterns were slowly worn away by the golden light.

Orochimaru let out an even more shrill scream.

The golden lightning around Mu Feng faded.

The tadpole-shaped mark of the Heavenly Curse on the shoulder has completely disappeared.

Orochimaru's suffering finally disappeared.

He stood up.

Her already pale face turned even paler.

His face was covered in sweat.

He stared at Mu Feng in astonishment.

What exactly is going on?

The Heavenly Curse Seal has failed?!

Mu Feng slowly opened his eyes.

Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi noticed that the white part of his pupils had turned gold.

Those eyes, a blend of gold and black, resembled those of a god, inspiring awe.

However, that golden hue was fleeting.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Orochimaru didn't even bother to ask what was going on.

He quickly apologized, "My lord, I didn't expect the Heavenly Curse Seal to fail. I will definitely find other ways to strengthen you."

"no no."

While savoring the feeling of natural energy surging into him, Mu Feng comforted Orochimaru.

"You've helped me find my direction."

Orochimaru was curious.

What direction is it?

"Of course, it's becoming an immortal."

"Or to be more precise, it is the use of natural energy."

Orochimaru: "Sage Transformation is just a ninja enhancement mode and cannot be used for a long time."

"No, Orochimaru, there might be secrets you don't know about."

Mu Feng pondered the various situations regarding the transformation of ninjas into sages.

"You all step back first, let me think about this."

In the laboratory, Mu Feng sat alone in a chair, quietly pondering as he looked at the flesh and blood soaking in the room.

Logically speaking, to attain immortality and absorb natural energy, one needs to cultivate for a long time.

He himself was able to achieve this simply by activating the Heavenly Curse Seal.

That fleeting feeling from just now.

That's Sage Mode.

Although he had never seen it, he just had this feeling.

That's my Sage Mode self.

Why are only a very few ninjas able to master Sage Mode?

"Why can animals like toads, snakes, and slugs master magical arts instead of humans?"

"Aren't humans the most intelligent of all beings?"

Chapter 53 Genes Corrupted by the Divine Tree

You could say the reason is lifespan.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with lifespan.

Naruto mastered Sage Mode at a very young age.

So let's talk about the environment.

The ninja world has all kinds of natural environments.

It has both the high mountains and flowing water of Mount Myoboku and the bright sunshine, as well as the dark and dampness of Ryūchi Cave.

Natural energy is everywhere.

It's strange that a ninja who uses any means necessary only trains his own chakra and doesn't cultivate natural energy everywhere.

While natural energy is not as stable as one's own chakra, it is not impossible to control it.

So what exactly is the reason?

Looking at the flesh and blood in the jar, Mu Feng suddenly thought of Jiraiya.

When Jiraiya transforms into a sage, his body exhibits toad-like features.

Orochimaru is similar.

Could it be genetics?

A bold guess popped into Mu Feng's mind.

Could it be genetic contamination?

In ancient times, Kaguya Otsutsuki used the Divine Tree to create an army of White Zetsu.

Later, Hagoromo and Hamura sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki away, saving the people who had been turned into White Zetsu.

However, these people have already been modified by the divine tree in the process, and their genes have been contaminated.

Therefore, their descendants are more inclined to refine chakra rather than use natural energy.

As time went on.

This gene, contaminated by the Divine Tree, spread to every corner of the ninja world.

The entire ninja world thus developed a tradition of using chakra specifically.

Toads, snakes, and slugs, on the other hand, have genes that are not polluted and have mastered the use of natural energy since ancient times.

Their tradition of magical arts has been passed down through generations.

I am someone who has traveled through time.

Its own genes were not contaminated.

Therefore, the stimulation from the Heavenly Curse Seal opened up a channel for absorbing natural energy.

The toad-like physical characteristics that Jiraiya exhibited when he transformed into a sage may be a dominant trait caused by the conversion of genes towards toad genes.

The more Mu Feng pondered it, the more he felt there was still much to be discovered.

Why are there bloodline limits?

Could it be that ninjutsu altered our genes?

Could ninjutsu be some kind of genetic lock?

From a scientific perspective...

Perhaps that's a possibility.
