From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

"I clearly remember that the Sage's Dragon Balls didn't have such strong energy. It seems that young master Sasuke has another opportunity."

Tuanjin-hime covered her mouth and chuckled, using a teasingly respectful form of address in her speech.

Sasuke smiled slightly, without offering any explanation. Tsurugi didn't press the matter, but instead curiously stepped forward and poked the Sage Clone's body with her finger.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a clone with a physical body. Young Master Sasuke, could you tell me what it's like?"

"Is the consciousness of this body controlled by the original body, or is it something like a shadow clone?"

"It is both the main body and a shadow clone. If I had to give an example, it would be like having an extra body."

Did it grow an extra body?

The three snake princesses exchanged glances, finding it impossible to understand Sasuke's words.

Let me put it this way.

Sage Sasuke pondered for a moment before explaining, "Within a certain range, my main body can control and take over this body at any time, sharing everything about it. Even beyond a certain range, this body will act according to the will and thoughts of the main body in a form similar to a shadow clone. Do you understand now?"

Simply put, within a certain range, the Sage's clones are Pain, controlled by the main body; beyond that range, they become Shadow Clones, acting according to the will of the main body.

Unlike Pain and his shadow clones, the Sage's clones can be seen as independent life forms.

Like his original self, he can also refine chakra and cultivate.

Of course, there's one more thing Sasuke didn't tell the three Snake Princesses: this body had all its data covered by Sasuke's Sage Seal.

It's not just a clone of his; it can also be seen as his "weapon"!

It is a "vessel" belonging to him, Uchiha Sasuke!

Even if Sasuke encounters misfortune one day in the future, as long as the Sage Clones exist, he can still be resurrected in these clones.

"I see, I think I understand now."

The three snake princesses nodded, and Tsuratsuhime said with a smile, "Young Master Sasuke, how should we address this clone of yours?"

"Call me..."

Sasuke was about to say that he could just call himself Sasuke, but then he suddenly remembered that this body was essentially his "vessel".

It's best not to let others know the connection between the original body and this body, even if it's a trump card that allows one to be resurrected after encountering misfortune.

Sasuke pondered for a moment, then uttered a name.

"Call me Yinglong."

"Sakura Dragon?"

Upon hearing the name, the three Snake Princesses paused for a moment, then Princess Tianxin looked at the blooming cherry blossoms in the distance and calmly said, "A dragon born during the crimson moon season, when cherry blossoms are in full bloom? This name is indeed very fitting."

It's Yinglong, not Yinglong!

Sasuke named this body Yinglong because his sage body was formed from the dragon pearls of the Grass Lizard Swamp and Ryuchi Cave.

Both are pursuing the transformation into dragons, but one is a giant dragon and the other is a divine dragon.

Isn't the combination of a giant dragon and a divine dragon the Yinglong?

As the saying goes, "The dragon emerges from the deep abyss, soars swiftly across the universe, and is then stored away in the boundless void!"

Seeing that the three Snake Princesses misheard Yinglong as Yinglong, Sasuke made no attempt to explain.

In a way, it could also be called Sakura Dragon.

After all, this body was indeed born during the Scarlet Flower Moon season, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

"So, young master Sasuke summoned us here to train in the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, is that right?"

Upon seeing that Uchiha Sasuke had suddenly become a one-in-a-million genius of Sage Mode, the three Snake Princesses all became more polite in their tone.

"Not bad!"

Sage Sasuke nodded, looking at the three Snake Princesses, a cold glint flashing in his usually deep and calm golden eyes.

"Snake demons, I need your help in my cultivation!"

Chapter 276 Dragon Transformation, Fusion, Yinglong Immortal Mode!

Night fell, and darkness enveloped the sea and sky, the ocean hidden in the night.

The moonlight shimmered on the sea, like countless jewels scattered across the water. Waves crashed against the rocks, splashing up several feet of pure white, sparkling water.

On an uninhabited island in the Sea Kingdom.

Sage Sasuke sat with his back to the moonlight, his eyes closed, legs crossed, motionless.

The bright moonlight shone on him like shimmering water, revealing an incomparably natural and harmonious beauty.

With each breath, a certain resonance was formed with the surrounding environment.

At this moment, Sasuke, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly rose up without any wind, and his whole body slowly floated up, and floated higher and higher.

As for flying, Sasuke was able to control his own flames to achieve high-speed centrifugal rotation as soon as he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, Sasuke's current flight, or rather, levitation, is completely different from before. An invisible gust of wind surrounds Sasuke, and the air seems to have come alive, gently lifting his body.

Its aura is also completely different from the domineering and fierce way it used to transform into a humanoid flame when flying; instead, it is incredibly harmonious and natural.

At this moment, Sage Sasuke looked ethereal and otherworldly, like a celestial being riding the clouds.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the three snake princesses, who were quietly watching this scene, kept glancing at each other.

"What an enviable talent! I only taught him the art of flying through the clouds this morning, and he has already mastered it in just one day."

Looking at the white-haired boy floating in mid-air, shirtless, whose temperament and appearance were completely different from those of the previous few days, Tianxin Shenji sighed sincerely.

The technique of riding the clouds and mist that she mentioned is one of the immortal techniques of Longdi Cave.

It is a sage technique that allows one to use sage chakra to freely float and fly in the air.

"I thought you'd gotten used to this kind of thing after seeing what's happened these past few days."

Tsuratsuhime covered her mouth and giggled, but her eyes remained fixed on Sage Sasuke's body.

At this moment, Sage Sasuke was shirtless, revealing muscles that were completely free of any excess fat, with extremely smooth lines, resembling the streamlined texture of a tiger or leopard.

Her already fair skin, illuminated by the bright moonlight, was as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade.

It wasn't that Sage Sasuke was deliberately showing off his physique and muscles; rather, it was the three goddesses who told him.

Learning immortal arts emphasizes harmony with nature, so when you first start learning immortal arts, it's best not to wear any clothing that might hinder the absorption of natural energy.

After all, cultivating immortal arts is extremely dangerous; even the slightest carelessness could lead to failure or even death.

Of course, it doesn't mean you have to take off your pants. Just expose the three most crucial areas: the head (spiritual energy), the chest and heart (physical energy), and the abdomen (the source of chakra).

Sage Sasuke had little doubt about this, since Naruto Uzumaki in the original timeline was also shirtless when he first started training in Sage Mode.

"After all, when he learned the techniques of teleportation and transformation, he only spent one day to get the basics down."

The techniques that Princess Tsuruzu mentioned, such as teleportation and transformation, are also the magical arts of Ryuchi Cave.

Among them, the "Shadow Shifting" technique is the "Instantaneous Movement" technique in the Dragon Land Cave Immortal Arts.

As for transformation into a fetus, that is the art of changing one's form.

It can transform into a man, a woman, grow old, grow young, become human, or become a beast.

The three Snake Princesses are actually giant snakes, and they use this magic to transform into human form.

If a few days ago you could still see some resemblance to Sasuke's original self in him...

Now, Sage Sasuke's appearance and demeanor are completely different from a few days ago.

Even those who know Sasuke best can't tell the connection between this Sage clone and Sasuke's original body.

The reason why Sage Sasuke's appearance and temperament are completely different from a few days ago is because he used the Transformation Sage Technique.

There's a story behind the transformation technique called "Fetal Transformation": when Orochimaru entered Ryuchi Cave, the three Snake Princesses taught him for a period of time, but unfortunately, Orochimaru simply couldn't learn Sage Mode.

However, Orochimaru used the Sage Technique of Transformation to create the Orochi Transformation Technique and the Face-Changing Technique, one to change the body and the other to change the appearance.

The combination of the two techniques was roughly close to the transformation technique, and Orochimaru managed to deceive most people in the ninja world with these two disguise techniques.

However, a flawed copy is ultimately just a flawed copy and can never compare to the original.

"This kind of thing is more of a numbness than a habit."

Princess Tianxin shook her head and smiled bitterly, after witnessing Sasuke's progress in cultivating Sage Mode over the past few days.

Princess Tianxin's self-confidence was severely damaged, and she felt as if she had lived like a dog for the past few hundred years.

As the two snakes were talking, Sage Sasuke, who was suspended in mid-air, underwent another change.

Sasuke's aura became as ethereal as white clouds, his essence and spirit completely contained within a circle, blending seamlessly with his surroundings, making it almost impossible to sense even the slightest trace of his presence.

If it weren't for the fact that Sage Sasuke was right in front of me, I wouldn't even dare to confirm if such a person existed.

Meanwhile, Sage Sasuke's figure was slowly fading away, and finally he disappeared into thin air.

Immortal Technique - Leaping and Leaving a Trail!

Hidden within heaven and earth, roaming the four seas, unknowable, unverifiable, and unobservable.

The invisibility magic of Ryuchi Cave!

Unlike ordinary ninja transformation techniques, this invisibility sage technique from Ryuchi Cave not only has a far superior invisibility effect than ordinary transformation techniques, but also possesses the terrifying ability to make one's chakra undetectable.

Seeing this, the three Snake Princesses exchanged glances, and Princess Tianxin said, "It seems that young master Sasuke is very suitable for this Sage Art."

Over the past few days, the three Snake Princesses have taught Sage Sasuke four Sage Techniques. (Note: 1)

which is:

Soaring through the clouds—the art of flight!

Teleportation—the art of instantaneous movement!

Transformation into a new form – the art of change!

And finally, the art of invisibility—flying and leaving a trail!

The three snake princesses weren't unwilling to teach highly lethal immortal techniques like the White Rage Technique and Inorganic Reincarnation.

Rather, Sage Sasuke wasn't in a hurry to learn.
