From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Could it be that the White Snake Immortal, like the Great Toad Immortal, possesses the ability to foresee the future?

Seemingly noticing Sasuke's confusion, the White Snake Sage smiled gently: "Some old folks can see the future, but I can see the past." (Note: 2)

Seeing the future must refer to the Great Toad Sage, right?

So, does the White Snake Sage's ability involve seeing the past?

In that case, wouldn't it have seen through everything I've done over the years?

Thinking of this, Sasuke frowned slightly, then heard the White Snake Sage's voice continue to come.

"You don't need to be too afraid of me. With your current strength and status, even I would have a hard time seeing your past."

Sasuke didn't know if it was true or not, but just pretended not to care.

"The past is constant and unchangeable, but the future is full of variables. To some extent, the ability to know the past is stronger than the ability to predict the future."

"Hehe." The White Snake Sage shook his head slightly, it was unclear whether he accepted Sasuke's compliment.

"Since the sage knows the purpose of Sasuke's visit, I will not say any more. Please teach me the methods of sage cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the White Snake Immortal frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"I can teach you the methods of cultivating immortal arts, but you have no chance of succeeding in cultivating them."

Why?

Sasuke, puzzled, asked, "Please enlighten me, sage."

Cultivating immortal techniques requires nothing more than natural talent, chakra reserves, and willpower.

He has already satisfied any one of these three conditions.

"Ordinary chakra is obtained by completely fusing one's physical and spiritual energy, while Sage Art is formed by adding natural energy to the two. To cultivate Sage Art, one must maintain a perfect balance among the three."

The White Snake Immortal exhaled a smoke ring and explained, "To achieve this, while physical energy and spiritual energy cannot be said to be completely equal, they must be kept within a controllable range."

"And you, you are the person I have seen in a thousand years with the most severe imbalance of Yin and Yang, with Yin dominating and Yang declining."

At this point, the White Snake Sage glanced casually at Sasuke's brow and eyes.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke pondered the White Snake Sage's words for a moment before asking, "If I replenish my body's energy and achieve a state of yin-yang balance, can I then train in Sage Mode?"

However, the White Snake Immortal still shook his head.

This won't work either?

This puzzled Sasuke: "Why?"

The White Snake Sage sighed and said softly, "Little Sasuke, the most important thing in cultivating Sage Mode is fate, and you don't have that fate."

The White Snake Sage was being polite, considering that she had told Orochimaru that he lacked the talent and qualifications. Now, she was being more tactful with Sasuke, saying that they were not destined to be together.

Destiny?

Sasuke frowned, feeling somewhat resentful.

"Your talent is the most outstanding human I have seen in a thousand years, but it does not mean that high talent will necessarily lead to the cultivation of immortal arts. Just like Orochimaru, whose talent was also among the best of everyone who came to Ryuchi Cave, but he still did not have the destiny to cultivate immortal arts."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke couldn't help but think of Tobirama Senju.

With the bloodline of the Thousand Hands Sage Body, his chakra is as deep as an abyss, and his mastery of ninjutsu is unparalleled.

He pioneered overpowered ninjutsu such as the Impure World Reincarnation and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He can be called a ninjutsu master who carries on the legacy and opens up new possibilities.

Even so, he still couldn't learn Sage Mode.

Are only single-minded guys like Naruto and Hashirama Senju destined to have the opportunity to cultivate?

What about Yakushi Kabuto?

Forehead....

In some ways, this guy seems to be a bit stubborn.

Sasuke frowned inwardly, just as the White Snake Sage continued, "Although I would very much like to help you cultivate sage techniques, unfortunately..."

At this point, the White Snake Immortal shook his head and did not continue.

Okay!

This trip was a waste of time.

Sasuke sighed inwardly. It was impossible not to be disappointed, but others had already said so much.

There's no point in getting entangled in this.

"Sasuke has disturbed you. Since you cannot practice Sage Mode, Sasuke will not disturb the Sage any further."

After saying this, Sasuke gave a half-bow and turned to leave.

"Hold on!"

There will be another chapter later.

Chapter 234 Sasuke's Outrageous Demands

"Hold on!"

The White Snake Sage gently called out to Sasuke, and when Sasuke turned around, he asked, "You seem to have practiced some kind of Buddhist monk's training method before?"

"good."

Sasuke nodded. The yoga he practiced was closely related to Buddhism, which he had learned after transmigrating to this world.

In his spare time, he also makes sure to read Buddhist scriptures from around the world and incorporate them into his yoga meditation.

The White Snake Immortal pondered for a moment, then took out a book from his pouch.

"I have an old friend who is a genius in cultivating immortal arts. Later, he combined the cultivation methods of Buddhist monks and cultivated immortal arts to an unprecedented level. This book is what he left behind."

"However, this is not a precious thing. This book is also circulated in some temples in the ninja world. Although this book cannot help you to master Sage Mode, it can help you use the power of Sage Techniques. You can take it and take a look. You might gain something from it."

monk?

The Sage of Six Paths?

Also, when the White Snake Immortal spoke of the temple's immortal techniques, did he mean immortal talents like those of the Fire Temple, who could use techniques like the Thousand Hand Killing Technique?

Sasuke took the book and said thank you, "Thank you, sage."

The White Snake Immortal nodded slightly and said softly, "Although you are not destined to cultivate the immortal arts of my Dragon Earth Cave, you are destined to be with my Dragon Earth Cave. From now on, you can use the people of the Dragon Earth Cave at your disposal. If there is anything I can help you with, I will do my best to help you."

so good?

Upon hearing this, Sasuke was surprised.

Although he was mentally prepared when he arrived, the White Snake Immortal's undisguised generosity still surprised him.

After pondering for a moment, Sasuke's gaze fell on the mysterious green jewel on the White Snake Sage's chest, and he smiled: "I really like the jewel on the Sage's chest. I wonder if the Sage could give it to me?"

"How dare you!"

Upon hearing this, the three snake queens, who had been silent until now, suddenly changed their expressions. Their clear black and white eyes transformed into long, golden pupils, and their beautiful faces became twisted and ferocious, like those of venomous snakes.

"You ungrateful fool, the immortals treated you with courtesy, not so you could make exorbitant demands. Do you understand..."

"Alright!" The White Snake Immortal raised his hand, silencing the three snake princesses.

He looked at Sasuke, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay!"

The three snake goddesses looked alarmed and hurriedly said, "Immortal, that's yours..."

"No need to say more!"

The White Snake Sage directly removed the mysterious green pearl from his chest and handed it to Sasuke, smiling kindly.

"Remember, keep it safe!"

The White Snake Sage's tone was very gentle, but Sasuke detected a hint of gritted teeth in it.

Sasuke accepted the gift with both hands and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Sage. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to do as I say."

"Let's talk about that later." The White Snake Sage's tone remained gentle and kind. After reluctantly turning his gaze away from the green orb, he continued, "Little Sasuke, the laws governing the development of all things in the world are not absolutely immutable. There is always a glimmer of hope in everything. Although you don't have the affinity to cultivate immortal techniques now, if you can resolve the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the future, there might be a glimmer of hope."

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal."

He knew that his yin-yang imbalance was not ordinary; without the Sharingan, he would have a hard time even killing a Jonin.

With the Sharingan, even if several Kage-level powerhouses joined forces, it would be a piece of cake for him to suppress them.

Even if Sasuke were to face Madara Hashirama from the Sengoku period, he would be confident he could put up a fight.

Um....

At least we won't lose too badly.

In short, the difference between his physical and mental abilities is so great that even the combined abilities of Hashirama Senju and Naruto Uzumaki from the Yang lineage might not be enough to match him.

Besides being innate, spiritual energy is also related to a person's will, experience, and mental state.

Although both of them belonged to the Yang lineage, Hashirama Senju was a ruthless man who had fought his way out of the Warring States period, and he also had the ambition and determination to end the chaotic world.

While Naruto was training in Sage Mode, Jiraiya, who was like a father to him, died, and Naruto's soul began to grow and transform.

Although both still have greater physical energy than mental energy, it is far from the point where Sasuke's physical and mental energy are at least three levels apart. It is within the controllable range that the White Snake Sage mentioned.

However, as Sasuke's body continues to develop and the cells of the First Hokage and Naruto accelerate their fusion, the imbalance between his body and mind will not be as severe as it is now.

At that time, it's not necessarily true that, as the White Snake Immortal said, he lacks the destiny to cultivate immortal arts.

Thinking of this, Sasuke nodded and said softly, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and the Human Escape is one."

"Hmm?" The White Snake Immortal pondered the words for a moment, and the more he pondered them, the deeper their meaning became.

"Indeed, I did not expect you to have such profound and insightful views."

After saying this, the White Snake Immortal closed his eyes slightly and said softly:

"It's getting late, Sasuke, you should go back."

Hearing that the White Snake Sage was seeing the guests off, Sasuke didn't take it to heart and simply bowed.

"Then I won't disturb the immortal's peaceful cultivation."
