From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Young Sasuke smiled slightly. By absorbing Orochimaru's memories, he learned that Orochimaru had tried to learn Sage Mode but was told by the White Snake Sage that it was impossible, so he turned to other methods.

In a sense, Orochimaru succeeded. Cursed Seal Transformation can be considered a form of Sage Mode, although it is less powerful and less stable than Sage Mode. Nevertheless, it can still be considered a success.

"Since we do not know what the law of cause and effect is, let us start by studying the first two points."

After making a remark, Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "Sasuke-kun, please follow me."

After saying that, Orochimaru turned and slowly walked away.

"What does Orochimaru mean?"

Seeing Orochimaru slowly leave, the young Hashirama frowned slightly.

They're preparing to give me a medical check-up.

Young Sasuke smiled inwardly, but did not answer the young Hashirama's question. As he walked, he said, "Let's go."

"Humph!"

The young man snorted and followed. Soon, the two of them followed Orochimaru into a laboratory.

However, after arriving here, the young Erzhu did not go in with the two, but stood guard outside the door.

........

Inside the laboratory, Orochimaru, holding several reports, looked at the young Sasuke connected to various instruments and chuckled, "Just as I expected, Sasuke-kun, your body's yin and yang are severely imbalanced, hehehe..."

Do you have any good suggestions?

As young Sasuke removed the equipment from his body, he spoke.

"I wouldn't call it good advice, but from my perspective as a researcher, the reason why Sasuke can't learn Sage Mode right now is because of the imbalance of Yin and Yang."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke frowned slightly. He already knew about this, and this was not the kind of thing he wanted to hear.

"So once I solve this problem, I might be able to learn immortal techniques?"

"It's not a possibility, it's inevitable! As Sasuke's body continues to develop and his cells continue to fuse, learning Sage Mode will be a natural progression."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru's words piqued Sasuke's curiosity.

Even the White Snake Immortal only said it was possible before, and judging from her tone, she didn't seem very optimistic.

Why does Orochimaru look so certain now?

"How to say?"

"Sasuke-kun, do you know why the physiques of the Senju and Uzumaki clans are called Sage Bodies?"

"It must be because of the Sage of Six Paths' name as a sage."

After a moment's thought, young Sasuke replied.

The reason why the Senju Uzumaki's physique is called the Sage Body is because their physique embodies powerful vitality and recovery ability. Naturally, it is not because it has anything to do with Sage Arts, but because it is named after the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

If Hagoromo Otsutsuki were called the Six Paths Bodhisattva and the Six Paths Demon King instead of the Sage of the Six Paths, his descendants who inherited his physique might actually be called Bodhisattvas or Demon Kings.

A person with a sage-like physique like Tenpyo Jugo, who is born with the ability to absorb natural energy, would be more appropriately called a sage body.

Sasuke thought he was right, but Orochimaru gently shook his head.

"Yes and no."

"How to say?"

"May I ask you, Sasuke-kun, where did the Sage Body techniques of the Senju and Uzumaki clans originate from?"

"Nature is God..."

At this point, Sasuke paused slightly, and after a moment said softly, "I see."

The immortal bodies of the Senju and Uzumaki clans both originate from the divine tree in plant form, which is the form of one side of the sun.

It possesses a photosynthesis similar to that of plants, but with a domineering nature that allows it to plunder all the resources and energy of this planet.

Whether it's conventional planetary energy like underground lava thermal energy or mysterious natural energy, it all falls within this range.

Furthermore, the discovery of a chloroplast-like substance in Sasuke's research on the cells of the First Hokage and the enhanced Yamato cells also supports this point.

The Senju clan, who inherited part of the Divine Tree's constitution, also possess this photosynthesis-like ability, to varying degrees.

This is photosynthesis, which can absorb natural energy!

Hashirama Senju is a typical example, having awakened and mastered the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

His ability to instantly enter immortal mode is not only due to his profound mastery of immortal arts, but also greatly related to his ancestral physique, which is close to that of the divine tree.

It's important to know that the Seventh Hokage at this time was stronger than the First Hokage at his peak. Although he could enter Sage Mode instantly, he still needed Kurama (the Nine-Tails) as an aid.

Otherwise, it's hard to say whether he could achieve what the First Hokage did in Sage Mode.

"It seems that Sasuke-kun has figured it out himself."

Seeing Sasuke's expression, Orochimaru smiled slightly and said:

"The names of the Senju and Uzumaki clans as Sage Body do indeed partly derive from the name of the Sage of Six Paths, but they are also related to the natural energy of Sage Techniques. I only discovered this after the Fourth Shinobi World War."

"So, it seems that the Senju and Uzumaki people do have an advantage over ordinary people when learning Sage Mode?"

Orochimaru shook his head, and continued with a slightly enigmatic tone:

"It's only relative. If the difficulty of learning Sage Mode is 100, then the average Senju Uzumaki clan member would only have a slight advantage, around 90 or 85. The advantage is negligible. The best example is the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Even with his high talent and extensive knowledge, he simply couldn't learn it."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke nodded.

How difficult it is to learn immortal arts!

Its difficulty is perhaps only comparable to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Like the Flying Thunder God Technique, many people spend their entire lives without ever mastering the basics of immortal arts because they lack a certain level of spatial and temporal talent.

The reason it is described as having a certain degree of space-time talent, rather than not having it at all, is because most ninjas in the ninja world actually possess space-time talent.

After all, the art of spirit communication is an application of space-time techniques, but the Flying Thunder God technique is more advanced and has more demanding requirements.

In addition to requiring exceptional reflexes and physical speed, it also involves knowledge of various subjects such as teleportation, spirit summoning, reverse spirit summoning, and sealing.

Orochimaru is a master in these areas, but his space-time talent is not up to the requirements for mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique; he simply cannot learn it.

In contrast, before Sasuke absorbed Orochimaru's soul, apart from the Body Flicker Technique, he was far inferior to Orochimaru in terms of summoning and sealing techniques. However, after a period of training, he was able to barely master the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After acquiring Orochimaru's extensive knowledge, he mastered the basics of the static teleportation technique, Flying Thunder God, within six months.

It's the second stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows for instantaneous movement in dynamic combat. It's the Great Flying Thunder God Technique that the Second and Fourth Hokage mastered. In his estimation, mastering it would only take him about a year.

'So, in this respect, I'm at least a bit better than Orochimaru; at least I can still learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.'

Sasuke thought to himself, but on the surface he remained calm, nodded, and waited for Orochimaru to finish speaking.

"But the First Hokage was different. He was an awakener of Wood Release Bloodline, and his physique was akin to the Divine Tree. Therefore, he had an unparalleled advantage over ordinary people in practicing Sage Mode. He could instantly enter Sage Mode, and in Sage Mode, he had an extremely amazing regenerative ability."

"And you, Sasuke, you have an advantage over the First Hokage!"

At this point, Orochimaru's tone became slightly fanatical.

"You now possess the bloodlines of all the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths within you. Once you perfectly fuse them together, you will be considered the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths. If the difficulty of the First Hokage learning Sage Techniques was ten, then yours was three, or even lower, just like Madara Uchiha in the past!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke suddenly understood.

Who was the person in the history of the ninja world who learned Sage Mode the fastest and mastered it the most deeply?

It's neither Naruto Uzumaki nor the First Hokage.

It was the Sage of Six Paths of the Ninja Sect!

He perfectly inherited the bloodline of Kaguya Otsutsuki's Divine Tree. He possessed astonishing talent, and his yin-yang ratio was inherently balanced and stable. In addition, the Divine Tree itself had the characteristic of absorbing natural energy.

Therefore, the high threshold of immortal techniques is nothing to him, not even a threshold.

The combination of these factors resulted in the Sage of Six Paths being the person in the ninja world who learned Sage Mode the fastest and mastered it the most deeply.

Learn it in an instant, and you'll be a master from the start!

Sasuke also understood why Orochimaru had brought up Madara Uchiha.

Although Madara Uchiha possessed the First Hokage's cells during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the crude transplant meant that he could only use Sage Mode by absorbing the First Hokage's Sage Chakra.

However, after becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, Madara Uchiha was able to use Sage Mode at will.

At this point, discussing any rough transplantation methods or the fact that all six bloodlines have not been fully collected is meaningless.

Because at that time, Madara Uchiha's Six Paths form was almost equivalent to the Ten-Tails itself, the source of the bloodline of Hagoromo Uchiha!

Therefore, the Sage of Six Paths could learn Sage Techniques in an instant and master them instantly. Madara Uchiha, on the other hand, could freely use Sage Techniques after becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, based on his experience from absorbing the First Hokage's Sage Technique chakra.

Before becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha did not know Sage Mode. It's unclear whether he couldn't learn it, lacked the opportunity to learn it, or was simply like Sasuke or Orochimaru who lacked the right conditions.

Referencing the Sage of Six Paths and Madara Uchiha.

Sasuke, who has gathered all the bloodlines of the Sage of Six Paths, will become a miniature version of the Sage of Six Paths once he achieves perfect fusion.

Even though Sasuke still didn't have the so-called Sage Mode affinity at that time, the threshold for Sage Mode itself had been lowered to an extreme.

Even if one cannot master the basics instantly like the Sage of Six Paths, achieving mastery upon entry, it should still be faster than when the First Hokage was training.

Thinking of this, Sasuke sighed softly to himself.

The path ahead is clear, but...

Time is running out!

Two hours later, the laboratory door was pushed open, and the young man saw the young Sasuke walk out calmly.

"let's go."

The young man, who was about to ask a question, nodded after hearing this and left Orochimaru's base together.

A while after the two left, Orochimaru, dressed in white, slowly walked out, looked at the passage in the direction the two had left, and licked his lips.

"So, how do you perfectly solve your body's problems in a short time? I'm very curious, Sasuke from another dimension, hehehehe..."
