From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

The other two Boa Hancocks were also quick to act, biting Sasuke's neck almost simultaneously.

The moment they bit Sasuke, the three snake princesses giggled and transformed into three transparent snakes—one green, one white, and one red—which merged into Sasuke's body.

Meanwhile, the three black tomoe formed by the Sage's Curse Seal on Sasuke's neck changed to one blue, one white, and one red.

Black patterns resembling snakes, lizards, and dragons instantly covered his entire body, marking the entry into the first form of the curse seal.

At this moment, Sage Sasuke could clearly feel the surge in Sage Chakra within his body, but he had not yet had time to investigate just how much more Sage Chakra he had.

A sharp pain and inexplicable itching spread throughout his body, and the Sage Chakra within him seemed to boil over.

The black patterns covering his entire body strangely transformed into patches of dark gold scales, and sharp thorns emerged from the surface muscles of his joints, such as his knees and elbows.

The nails on his hands and feet suddenly grew longer, harder, and sharper, piercing through Sage Sasuke's shoes.

The muscles behind my shoulders are slowly bulging, as if two fleshy lumps have grown out. And these two fleshy lumps are getting bigger and bigger. Two fleshy lumps have also bulged out on my forehead. They are both painful and itchy!

Sasuke's entire body trembled, and he convulsed in pain.

"This shouldn't be happening! How could this change occur?"

Upon discovering the strange changes in Sage Sasuke's body, the three snake princesses within him were all stunned.

When possessed by the three great snake princesses, the Sage Mode body itself does not change much, except that a single horn made of chakra grows on the forehead, and three snake-shaped transparent chakra emanates from the whole body.

It won't sprout any scales, spikes, claws, or anything like that.

The three Snake Princesses were naturally unaware that the Sage Sasuke had the Sage Curse Mark etched deep into his genes by his true form.

While the three Orochimaru sisters possessed him and helped him enter the perfect Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave, Sasuke also entered the Cursed Seal 2 form under the massive Sage Chakra amplification.

When a person enters the second stage of the Transformation state, their body shape and appearance will change drastically, and they will grow organs that normal people do not have.

For example, when Sasuke was in his second cursed seal state in the original timeline, he grew large hand-shaped wings, Kimimaro grew a tail, and Jugo could even turn his hands into an axe, and so on.

Sasuke's body was formed from the Dragon Balls and the Divine Dragon Balls. While learning the Ryuchi Cave Sage Techniques from the three Snake Princesses, he also secretly practiced some Sage Techniques from the Grass Lizard Swamp.

The form of the Cursed Seal 2 naturally tends to resemble the origin of both, which is why Sage Sasuke now has scales, spikes, and claws—organisms that snakes and lizards possess.

Even more!

Just as the three Snake Princesses were hesitating about whether to withdraw from Sage Sasuke's body.

Sasuke, who was convulsing all over, suddenly stood up straight, and his height actually increased from nearly 1.8 meters to almost 2 or 3 meters.

The moment Sage Sasuke straightened up, the two fleshy tumors on his back and forehead exploded simultaneously, revealing a pair of huge dark golden dragon wings and a pair of dark golden horns!

A long, winding tail, with thorns at the end and covered with dark gold scales, slowly emerged from the tailbone of Sage Sasuke's spine!

"This is a dragon!? But how can there be a dragon with wings?"

Inside Sage Sasuke's body, the three Snake Princesses gasped in shock at the transformation of Sage Sasuke.

"It can't be considered a dragon, it should be described as a dragonification, a half-dragon or a dragon-human."

While the three Snake Princesses were filled with doubt and uncertainty, a deep, mysterious, and majestic voice rang out; it was Sage Sasuke.

"As for winged dragons? Of course they exist!"

Feeling the surging power in his body, the dragon-human transformed Sage Sasuke's lips curled into a ferocious smile.

Yinglong has wings and can be called a true dragon!

The new Sage Mode before us is formed by combining the Sage Body of the Cursed Seal with the Dragon Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave and the Giant Dragon Sage Mode of Grass Lizard Marsh.

This is Sasuke's unique Yinglong Sage Mode!

Chapter 277 Sharingan

Nighttime, on the outskirts of a town in the Land of Fire.

It was the time when the silver moon hung high and the stars were just beginning to rise.

A figure dressed in a black cloak and wearing a hood is walking slowly in the suburbs.

The figure had his head down, and from his body outline, the round black-rimmed glasses he wore, and the silver wisps of hair between his brows, it was clear that he was a young man with silver hair.

The silver-haired man held a pen and a notebook, writing something on them continuously.

After a long while, the silver-haired man suddenly stopped writing, as if he had discovered something. He looked up, revealing his true appearance. The bright moonlight reflected off his glasses, giving off a sharp, cold light.

It was Kabuto Yakushi, whom Sasuke had sent out on a mission!

"So you were on Mount Sumeru?"

Kabuto Yakushi's notebook was filled with all the clues he had collected on the Ninja World Continent over the past three months.

After summarizing and categorizing them, he found that all the clues pointed to the same place: Mount Sumeru!

Mount Sumeru is located in the Golden Wheel Mountain Range, which extends near the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass. It is a place with rolling hills and steep cliffs.

Mount Sumeru is the most precipitous of all the mountains in the Golden Wheel Mountain Range!

It must be said that Hiruko truly deserves to be called a person who was able to escape from the pursuit of the Sannin. Although the Sannin showed leniency out of consideration for their friendship, he was able to remain completely undetected for nearly twenty years without being wanted by Konoha, the leader of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

This also demonstrates its strong ability to conceal itself and its cautious approach.

Even Yakushi Kabuto, a spy genius and intelligence expert, spent nearly three months to roughly pinpoint Hiruko's hiding place.

"Does he want the Oni-Garra technique from Hiruko?"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses and muttered to himself.

Although Sasuke Uchiha only instructed him to find Hiruko, he did not tell him the purpose of finding Hiruko.

However, as a clever spy, Kabuto Yakushi easily guessed that Sasuke Uchiha's target was the Oni-Garra Technique.

Although Kabuto Yakushi had never met Hiruko, he was by no means completely ignorant of him.

After all, Hiruko was the first ninja in Konoha's history to defect for researching forbidden techniques and conducting illegal human experiments.

The second one is Orochimaru!

Furthermore, Kabuto Yakushi had occasionally heard Orochimaru mention this mediocre classmate who was unwilling to settle for mediocrity.

As for Uchiha Sasuke's desire to obtain the Oni-Garuru technique, Kabuto Yakushi had also heard of it.

It is said to be a forbidden technique that steals the abilities of others, even their bloodline limits.

The creator was none other than the Second Hokage, the ninjutsu master who established the Konoha ninjutsu system.

That's right, this forbidden technique is related to the Second Hokage again!

Or to put it bluntly, eight or nine out of ten forbidden techniques in Konoha Village are more or less related to the Second Hokage.

However, it's unclear whether the research on the Demon Sprout Technique was too cruel, or whether the Second Hokage recognized the shortcomings of the Demon Sprout Technique, or something else entirely.

The Second Hokage sealed off the development of the Demon Sprout Technique at its inception, refusing to continue its research and strictly forbidding others from conducting research on it.

"Do you want to become the second Sage of Six Paths? Uchiha Sasuke, your ambition is greater than anyone imagined!"

Kabuto whispered something.

As the top-ranking experimental assistant next to the research expert Orochimaru, he has followed Orochimaru for many years.

He already knew that the Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha, Kaguya, and Hyuga clans, all renowned bloodline families in the ninja world, had extremely deep connections.

Their bloodline origins all seem to come from the same ancestor!

Orochimaru once speculated that the ancestor of the Uchiha clan was the legendary Sage of Six Paths of Ninja Sect!

In this way, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, who were unaware of the existence of Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, would naturally assume that the founders of the major clans were all the Sage of Six Paths.

However, in their attempt to cure Kimimaro, they transplanted the First Generation's cells and Karin's cells into him, which nearly killed Kimimaro.

Clearly, although the families are distant relatives and their ancestors were all Six Paths Sages, they did not know what changes had occurred in the bloodlines of their descendants, resulting in the bloodlines of the major families being unable to merge.

In Kabuto's view, Sasuke Uchiha's desire to find Hiruko and obtain the Oni-Garara Technique from him was naturally to resolve the inexplicable rejection reaction.

He possesses the bloodlines of several major families and becomes the second Sage of Six Paths!

Although Orochimaru once stated with absolute certainty that the Oni-Garara Technique had a fatal flaw, Hiruko would absolutely be unable to complete the final step.

Orochimaru may have said this because after Hiruko's defection, Orochimaru, who was the first candidate for the Fourth Hokage at the time, obtained some research data left behind by Hiruko through Danzo and the Third Hokage, and came to this conclusion.

Perhaps it was Orochimaru's arrogance that led him, as a genius of his generation, to look down on Hiruko, who had once been a loser.

But Kabuto Yakushi, who had witnessed Sasuke Uchiha's cunning and wisdom firsthand, knew that Sasuke would never do anything without a purpose.

Perhaps he learned through some channel that Hiruko had perfected the Oni-Garra technique.

Perhaps Sasuke Uchiha knew that the Demon Sprout Technique was not yet perfect, but he was confident that he could perfect it.

In short, it doesn't matter which one it is.

Uchiha Sasuke is definitely not someone who speaks without reason!

"........."

Looking at the words "Mount Sumeru" written in the notebook, Kabuto Yakushi hesitated for a while before falling silent.

Let me see if you are as predictable as you appear!

Kabuto closed his notebook, a determined look flashing in his eyes, and headed towards the Golden Wheel Mountain Range.

Sasuke's task for him was simply to find Hiruko's whereabouts; he wasn't required to do anything else.

However, now Kabuto Yakushi has taken it upon himself to make decisions!

Of course, Kabuto Yakushi had no intention of running away at this time, since Orochimaru's corpse was still in Sasuke Uchiha's hands.

This act of acting on his own initiative was a test of Sasuke Uchiha, a test of how far Sasuke could tolerate him.

I also wanted to be among the first to witness the secrets of the Oni-Garaku technique!

...........

On the other side, Sasuke, whose main body was conducting experiments and whose sage clone was practicing sage techniques, was naturally unaware of Kabuto Yakushi's unauthorized actions.

Even if Sasuke knew, he wouldn't care, because he was mentally prepared for this to happen when he sent Kabuto out.

At this moment, Sasuke's mind was not on Kabuto at all. Instead, he was looking at a basketball-sized Crimson Stone in the laboratory, engraved with the radiance of the Uchiha clan, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Sharingan!
