None of that compares to a tiny fraction of a long period of time.

"If you have good aptitude, you might be able to succeed after cultivating in Ryuchi Cave for hundreds of years. If you don't have good aptitude, it might take a thousand years. Of course, the premise is that you can live to see that time. Even Xingya might not be able to succeed."

"Hime Tsurugi said calmly."

They don't have the same ease of use as humans with ninjutsu, but their biggest advantage is their long lifespan.

With such an advantage, they will eventually learn all sorts of techniques.

The spirit beast that Qing Si contracted was not a snake born in Ryuchi Cave, so it's hard to say how long it will live.

Even in Ryuchi Cave, snakes that can master "Sage Techniques" and refine "Sage Chakra" are rare.

Deep within the lair of the most ferocious serpents in Ryuchi Cave lies a crimson serpent named Shinya, which is said to have just been betrayed by its contracted ninja and has lost an eye. It rages helplessly down there every day.

The snakes around him all hated his bad temper.

If Xin Ya knew "magical arts," he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Yeah."

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi abandoned the idea.

It takes too long.

The "Sachiga" they mentioned is the summoning beast that Boruto Uzumaki contracts with in "Boruto," a massive red snake with the ability to instantly turn opponents into stone statues.

It's a pity he has such a bad temper; it's said that only by removing the sharp scale on his chin can he become normal.

"White Snake Immortal, I would like to ask where the immortals of the other two holy lands are located."

Qingsi spoke.

The White Snake Sage, the Live Slug Sage, and the Great Toad Sage are all figures from the same era, having lived since the time of Kaguya.

They must have communicated with each other and knew each other's information.

In addition to the mysterious Living Slug Sage, both the White Snake Sage and the Great Toad Sage possess the ability to "foresee the future and see through fate."

The Great Toad Sage relies on his dreams while he's asleep, while the White Snake Sage relies on her ears, which allow her to hear many things that have happened in the ninja world.

Even a single "thought wave" can record and play back images, allowing past experiences to reappear.

They definitely know each other's location!

"Haha, greedy kid, you'll have to find it yourself."

The White Snake Immortal's tail slapped the earth, making a rumbling sound.

Learning a "Sage Mode" would be a lifelong pursuit.

This kid actually wants to learn other "Sage Modes," he's really greedy.

The Sage of Six Paths from a thousand years ago only knew the "Sage Mode" of the toads on Mount Myōboku.

"Hehe, Kiyoshi, let's go back after you've adapted to this new power."

Orochimaru spoke.

The White Snake Immortal is no pushover; he has an eccentric personality.

Ryuchi Cave is a bloody and primitive place that devours failed travelers.

If he didn't claim to be an immortal who could teach people "immortal arts," he would have been branded as a demon long ago.

"Alright."

Qingsi nodded.

He could sense that Orochimaru had many summoning jutsu symbols drawn on his body just by standing there.

After losing his hands, Orochimaru relied on the summoning jutsu on his body to release summoning ninjutsu.

The current Orochimaru is depicted in more detail than the future Orochimaru, and he is extremely well hidden.

Even if a regular Kiyoshi spreads out his Yang Release chakra and activates his perception mode, he cannot be detected.

This is the most obvious characteristic of "Sage Mode": greatly enhanced perception.

"Sage Art: Fire Release: Thunderfire Sword".

Crimson flames and black lightning suddenly appeared in Kiyoshi's hand.

The two forces intertwined in Kiyoshi's hands, spiraling like a slender straight knife or a constantly rotating drill.

Red and black intertwine endlessly, accompanied by thunder and fire.

Kiyoshi obtained the attribute [Lightning Fire Sword (Blue)] a long time ago, which allows him to use chakra attachments in his hands.

Now, after being enhanced with "Sage Chakra," its power has increased exponentially.

"That way, we won't have to rely on the ninja sword too much."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

The current "Sage Art: Fire Release: Lightning Fire Sword" is powerful enough, so it doesn't matter whether you have a ninja sword or not.

With the current strength of the ninja sword, it can only serve as an added bonus.

Kiyoshi no longer needs to rely on the chakra metal above to assist in the transmission of chakra, nor to use it to enhance his power.

One and a half meters may seem long, but it's far too short in ninja battles.

To keep the ninja swords up in battle, another technique is needed.

That is "Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth"!

This is a ninjutsu that can give life to inanimate objects and control them.

That is not a simple ninjutsu that uses chakra to control matter, and inorganic matter moves rapidly under the effect of this technique.

In theory, Kiyoshi could also control various other inorganic substances, integrating them into his own ninja sword, and even giving the ninja sword life.

Unfortunately, this technique was not inherited from Ryuchi Cave; it was a "Sage Technique" developed by Kabuto Yakushi on his own, and it requires hand seals to use.

Given the comparison between Kiyoshi's "Sage Mode" in Ryuchi-dong and his performance in the original work, it will probably take him some time to figure it out in reverse.

Soon, five minutes passed.

The spirit snake on Qing Si's body became transparent and illusory, and its bluish-green coat gradually turned into scattered green dots and disappeared. The physical changes returned to normal.

This feeling is amazing.

It was like an out-of-body experience, shedding one's mortal body and becoming incredibly light.

Now, once again, I don my heavy physical body and feel the weight of the world.

"See you off."

The White Snake Immortal transformed back into human form, taking the shape of an old woman.

Princess Tianxin nodded and waved her hand.

The dimly lit and spacious hall gradually became ethereal, merging into the mist.

Kiyoshi and his group returned to the outside world.

After entering "Sage Mode," Kiyoshi was able to sense the presence of natural energy.

The concentration suddenly decreased.

They had clearly left the alternate dimension of Ryuchi Cave and entered reality.

"Let's go, Kiyoshi-kun."

Orochimaru smiled.

Kiyoshi nodded, picked up Mitarashi Anko, tucked her under his arm, and walked away, following Orochimaru's rapidly departing figure.

"Hey, hey, hey, I can walk by myself."

Amidst the sound of the wind, Mitarashi Anko's shouts could be faintly heard.

……

"Master White Snake, after that guy withstood the natural energy, the natural energy around him seems to be more compatible with him."

"Issue-hime said uncertainly."

"That kid's fate is very peculiar; even I can't see through it."

The White Snake Immortal uttered something profound.

Everyone has a predetermined destiny, and no one can escape the arrangements of fate.

Therefore, that guy, the Great Toad Sage, even created the so-called "Child of Prophecy," convinced that he would change the world.

The Uchiha brat who came today is like a mystery.

It recklessly interferes with these predetermined destinies.

Interesting, really interesting.

"The three of you can also go out into the secular world more often in the future."

After saying this, the White Snake Immortal narrowed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

…………

Caoyin Village.

"It seems that the Konoha ninja that day were just passing by."

The high-ranking officials of Kusagakure looked at Muko, whose face was wrapped in bandages.

"They entered the Land of Grass directly from the Land of Fire. The ninja stationed there discovered their intelligence and found that Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, was leading the team."

"But who is that Uchiha?"

Wu Gou asked the question that concerned her most.

"Dragon Tongue asked from the side."

"Uchiha Kiyoshi, a Uchiha genius who has recently been active on the battlefield."

The high-ranking officials of Kusagakure then revealed some information about Kiyoshi.

Every country has access to brilliant intelligence from other countries, which is a necessary measure.

"Uchiha... Kiyoshi."

Wu Gou clenched her fists tightly.

He could still remember the image of Qing Si stroking Long She's white hair and taking advantage of her.

I'll get my revenge for Longshe sooner or later!

…………

Several days later, Kiyoshi returned to Konoha.

The situation on the front lines remains tense.

Having gained the upper hand in the war with the Land of Earth is far from enough, as several other major powers are also eyeing the country covetously.

Once a country falls from its position as a major power, even if it manages to survive by being swallowed up by other major powers, those ambitious smaller countries will bare their fangs and try to get a share of the spoils.

"The entry for Fire Release Jonin is almost full."

Kiyoshi closed his eyes, sensing the experience transmitted by the puppet clone.

With this technique, the Qing Si project became a multi-faceted undertaking.

After enduring the pain and exhaustion of being a puppet clone from time to time, Kiyoshi also gained a new entry.

[Pain Transfer (Green)] has the effect of using chakra to offset a portion of the pain.

This allows Kiyoshi to increase his pain tolerance limit while also being able to try to create more puppet clones.

Right now it's just a green entry; if we trigger it more often, we might get a blue or purple entry.

On that same day, Fugaku summoned all his clansmen for a secret meeting.

Today is not the day of the routine secret gathering, and many tribespeople are speculating whether something big is about to happen.

Qing Si took his seat.

He had already moved his seat to the very front, and he even made a point of sitting next to Mikoto.
