Ryuchi Cave.
Deep inside.
Maples was sitting cross-legged as the Natural Energy in the Ryuchi Cave gradually flowed into his body.
Ten days have passed since he started practicing Senjutsu.
These ten days are the time that has passed in the outside world, and for him, who is in the state of Five Times Cultivation Speed, 50 days have passed.
The practice of Sage Mode is indeed difficult, especially when his total chakra is only at the level of Kage Level, which makes it even more difficult.
It took him about 20 days to feel the presence of Natural Energy, and this is in the special environment of the Ryuchi Cave where the Natural Energy is extremely abundant.
Whoosh!
Maples, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly changed his body.
His body began to strangely expand, and his clothes suddenly swelled up, tearing marks appeared, revealing his inner skin, which was no longer in the shape of a human, but turned into petrified scales.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Maples opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes, and his body suddenly solidified and quickly returned to its normal state.
"It's still very difficult to control … No, it should be said that it's very difficult to maintain that ratio …"
Maples murmured.
The change just now was caused by the loss of control of Natural Energy.
Like Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu, Ryuchi Cave's Senjutsu has its risks, once the Natural Energy goes out of control, the user will turn into a petrified giant snake and completely integrate with nature.
Therefore, compared to Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu, Ryuchi Cave's Senjutsu is just as difficult. First of all, it's not easy to pass the test of the three Snake Sage Senjutsu. The test of the three Snake Sage Senjutsu is completely dependent on the person, for example, Rin took the Sanbi Sage Senjutsu and directly sent him out.
The test he faced was almost impossible for ordinary ninjas to pass.
The test of absorbing Chakra, without Kage level chakra or above, it's impossible to open the stone door, and at least Kage level or above can fight with the three Snake Sage Senjutsu.
And even if he passes the test of the three Snake Sage Senjutsu and comes in front of the ancestor of the Ryuchi Cave, he can only get the method of Senjutsu.
Want the three Snake Sage Senjutsu to come over and spar with him?
He had to think of a way to get recognition first!
If you can't get recognition, then you can only practice by yourself. Generally, ninjas don't have the ability to go back in time. Once there is a problem, it will be a huge trouble. It's normal to die on the spot. At least, there are more than dozens of giant snake statues around here.
In fact, Mount Myoboku is almost the same. Naruto belongs to the 'backdoor'. Generally, when people enter Mount Myoboku, how can Fukasaku personally become a teacher and a sparring partner? They will practice by themselves. If they don't practice well, they will become stone statues. That's how the statues came to be.
Maples couldn't be bothered to bring Ichigashima and the others over to spar with them.
Because it was meaningless.
With the ability to turn back time, he didn't need the help of Shima Hime and the others when the Natural Energy went out of control. He could handle it himself.
"In addition to the differences in the circulation routes of the three Senjutsu, there should also be a certain gap in the ratio of chakra and natural energy …"
Maples murmured and began cultivating again.
He didn't plan to completely master the Dragon Pit Cave's Sage Mode. He only needed to master it to a certain extent because his goal wasn't to master the Sage Mode, but to cultivate the Sage Body.
Finally!
After losing control several times in a row.
Maples suddenly opened his eyes. His body slightly swelled, but he didn't lose control of petrification. It's just that his current appearance was a little funny.
Maples looked down at the puddle below. He could see that his face was slightly showing signs of snake transformation, and there was deep eyeshadow, similar to Orochimaru's state.
"This is the initial Sage Transformation …"
Maples stood up. He could feel that his body seemed to be softer than before, and he could do some movements that were beyond the limits of human beings.
"My body became soft, but it's not good."
Feng Ye twisted his body and muttered, "Mount Myoboku's immortal technique is to harden, while Dragon Earth Cave's immortal technique is to soften. Although hardening is much better than softening … Hmm, a perfect immortal body should be the most normal state."
"Sure enough, it's similar to what I expected. To get the Sage Body, I need to learn both Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu to neutralize … I guess I also need Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu as a neutralizing agent."
After thinking for a few seconds, Maples checked the other changes in his body.
In this initial Sage Transformation, or in other words, in the initial Sage Mode state, Maples could feel that his senses had become countless times more active than before.
It wasn't an increase in hearing or sight.
Instead, it was an increase in the perception of life on another level.
Standing here, his senses could almost cover half of the Ryuchi Cave. He could sense the large number of giant snakes living in the depths of the cave, as well as the White Snake Sage and the three Great Serpent Immortals. He could also sense that they were different from other giant snakes.
"Did I succeed?"
"As expected, he has a power that even I can't see through."
The White Snake Sage exhaled a puff of smoke as Maples underwent his initial Sage Transformation, then glanced in Maples's direction.
As the White Snake Sage, its Senjutsu was naturally the highest level here. It could cover the entire Ryuchi Cave and sense everything that happened inside, including whether Maples had learned an Immortal Art.
"That human really is a monster …"
Ichigashima also opened her eyes and looked in the direction of Maples. Thinking of how Maples's Chakra exploded, she couldn't help but shudder.
In the past few hundred years, no one had been able to cultivate Sage Mode without the personal guidance and help of the three Great Serpent Immortals.
It seemed that anyone could learn Sage Mode as long as they passed the test, but in fact, Sage Mode was firmly controlled by the White Snake Sage. Only those who were truly recognized could learn Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode.
And Maples …
He cultivated alone without the help of any of the three Great Serpent Immortals, but he still managed to cultivate Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode!
This was the first time in hundreds of years since they were born!
"Monster."
Tanshin Shenji and Azujhime also muttered silently.
Originally, they had reached an agreement not to guide Maples, thinking that if Maples went out of control while cultivating Sage Mode, then he would be at their mercy. But they didn't expect that Maples would be able to cultivate Sage Mode without any guidance from the three Great Serpent Immortals!
"My perception is really strong, any signs of life within a kilometer can't escape my perception. Targets with Chakra are more accurate …"
Maples showed a satisfied expression.
