Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

"Sage, if this is a condition, I can agree to it, but only if the method you instruct me can help me reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths."

Qing nodded thoughtfully and agreed.

He sensed the killing intent emanating from the White Snake Immortal.

I don't know why this old woman has such a strong opinion about the Sage of Six Paths.

If I hadn't agreed, I'd probably be a dessert inside a fairy's belly right now.

Although I agreed.

However, he did not entirely believe the White Snake Immortal's one-sided story.

The natural energy of Ryuchi Cave is indeed extremely unique, much more violent and uncontrollable than that of Mount Myoboku or Shikkotsu Forest.

However, the influence of the White Snake Immortal's underhanded actions cannot be ruled out.

Is the Pure Land located in another dimension, and does it want to intercept the natural energy of Ryuchi Cave?

That's impossible no matter how you look at it.

Although the Sage of Six Paths was constantly making underhanded moves, he also repeatedly gave his two sons special favors to be reborn.

But his character is at least not seriously flawed.

Compared to the White Snake Sage who often eats people, the Sage of Six Paths is more trustworthy.

The Serpent Clan is staying indoors?

This statement is utterly ridiculous.

Every snake-type individual with the potential to become a ninja beast possesses the ability to absorb natural energy.

If it weren't for being forced, who would willingly leave the energy-rich Ryūchi Cave and go out into the cold to starve?

Just like cultivators descending to the mortal world where there is no spiritual energy, would they?

impossible.

Qing did not refute the White Snake Immortal, after all, the Six Paths Immortal had only given him bloodline, which was not of much help in the present.

The current boss is the White Snake Immortal in front of us.

His mentor from his past life had told him that all project research should prioritize the boss's interests.

This is the only way to ensure subsequent investment.

Research that doesn't generate any benefits will ultimately fail to get on the right track.

Sixth level.

What a distant level.

He hasn't even reached the level of a Shadow yet.

The old man, the Sage of Six Paths, was no ordinary Six Paths level cultivator. As the founder of the Pure Land, he controlled the natural energy of the entire Pure Land.

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki were to be resurrected, she might not be able to defeat this eldest son.

After digesting what the White Snake Immortal had revealed, Qing took out the snake slough and, pointing to the contents on it, continued to ask:

"Immortal, could you please offer some guidance on this aspect of cultivation?"

The White Snake Immortal stretched out his tail, gently rolled up the molted snake skin, and hid it under the edge of the bed behind him.

"Of course, but you have already passed my test and gained the approval of Ryuchi Cave."

"I have an even more convenient method here. Hiss, as long as your body is strong enough, you can control natural energy in an instant."

"hiss!"

"omitting your decades-long spiritual practice."

It flicked its tongue and proposed a completely new method.

"How do I do it?"

Qing asked.

A vague guess formed in my mind: it was probably the method that Kabuto and the others had accepted.

Old woman...

How cunning! Why conduct a test at a time like this?

He really does look like Orochimaru!

No wonder they were able to get together.

"All I need to do is leave a tooth mark on your neck."

A burst of white mist suddenly erupted, and the White Snake Immortal's figure slowly dissipated, eventually transforming into the appearance of an old woman of about eighty or ninety years old, who jumped off the long bed.

The White Snake Sage walked up to Uchiha Ao in a few steps, opened his mouth to reveal two sharp fangs, and wore a kind smile on his face.

It seemed as if they were considering Qing's best interests.

He has a kind and benevolent appearance and seems harmless.

It's completely unbelievable that she's the cold-blooded, bloodthirsty White Snake Immortal.

"Forget it, immortal! My only advantage is that I know my own limitations. My physical condition is extremely poor, and I am not worthy of this shortcut."

"They're at the bottom of the Uchiha clan."

"I wanted to obtain a perfect body, so I betrayed my clan and left Konoha with my teacher."

Qing shook her head and refused.

"Are there any other options?"

His eyes flashed, and he asked again.

The White Snake Immortal stared at Qing, seemingly scrutinizing something.

"have."

"It's the method described in the snake molt I initially gave you; even Orochimaru didn't have the talent to practice it."

"You... probably also find it difficult to sense natural energy in a soul form."

"This method also tests talent, but it's talent in the spiritual realm."

Before the White Snake Immortal could finish speaking, Qing interrupted, saying:

"It seems I still have no choice but to take the cumbersome approach and figure it out on my own, little by little."

"I have memorized everything written on the snake slough, Immortal. Could you demonstrate it for me?"

Qing raised her head and made a slightly presumptuous request.

The White Snake Immortal gave him a deep look; it was the first time it had ever seen a human who didn't want to take shortcuts.

All the challengers I've encountered in the past have chosen to acquire unparalleled power as quickly as possible.

But in the end, they all became food to fill her stomach.

"Since that's the case, let me explain it to you briefly."

The smile on the White Snake Immortal's face vanished instantly, his figure blurred, and then a wisp of white mist appeared.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a cold-looking white-scaled serpent lying on the bed.

It relit the pipe, conjuring a wisp of white smoke that it brought to its mouth, took a deep drag, and...

The White Snake Sage slowly spoke, saying, "Chakra is a product of the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy."

"Naturally, the combination of natural energy and physical energy can also create a new kind of power. I tried it, but failed. The price was this snake skin."

"Finally, there is the method you know, the combination of natural energy and spiritual energy."

"I call this power Sage Art. Unlike Sage Chakra, it can achieve a perfect 1:1 fusion without the intervention of the physical body."

"The old toads of Mount Myōboku also mastered the methods of cultivating natural energy, but they occupy Mount Myōboku, which is located in the center of the entire continent, and possesses the purest and gentlest natural energy."

"These basic details are described in my snake slough, you should remember them, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qing nodded and replied:

"The key to cultivation lies in the perception at the soul level. One of the contradictions is that in the soul state, one cannot perceive the existence of natural energy."

The White Snake Immortal chuckled, glanced at him sideways while smoking his pipe, and questioned, "You really can't sense it?"

"You know the ninjutsu of astral projection, right? Actually, after your soul leaves your body, it constantly emits natural energy, and the mental energy consumed by the soul's movement is converted into natural energy."

These words were like a sudden awakening.

Qing was jolted awake, instantly grasping the key point.

Spiritualization Technique...

Is the ability to launch attacks at the soul level based on chakra or mental power?

No! That's the power of the soul, or rather, the power of the spirit.

During the spiritualization process, spiritual power is continuously weakened.

Each attack would have a great impact on his soul, which he originally thought was a necessary loss of soul during the casting process.

But judging from what the White Snake Immortal said...

These losses are actually the process of transforming soul power into natural energy...

Suddenly, he remembered a theorem he had proposed in his previous life at the physics level.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed out of thin air; it can only be transformed into one another!

"You realized that?"

The White Snake Immortal chuckled lightly, as if looking down on Qing's shallow mind.

But in reality, he was already too shocked to extricate himself.

Good guy.

The secret that I spent a hundred years to comprehend was discovered by this kid in an instant.

Despite her reminder.

But this level of understanding was something she had never seen before in her thousands of years of life.

If only this brat were a snake!

But he happens to be a descendant of that guy, Rokudo.

Thinking of this, the White Snake Immortal's expression suddenly changed.

It's not impossible to turn this brat into a snake!

Just like Orochimaru...

"The three fundamental forces that sustain this world can actually transform into one another, right, Immortal!"

Qing slowly revealed her inner thoughts.

Natural energy, physical energy, and soul energy are actually in a constant process of transformation.

This is what is known as the balance of power.

These are the three sources of extraordinary power in the Naruto world.

The body forms the individual soul, the soul transforms all of nature, and nature gives birth to the bodies of all things...

Therefore, the Impure World Reincarnation technique can create a completely new impure body and possess infinite chakra.

This technique relies solely on the powerful natural energy source of the "Pure Land"!

Chakra originates from the fusion of physical and mental power.

This means that natural energy can be transformed into these two forces.

"That's right."

"Natural energy is like the flow of wind, the rhythm of water, and the breath of the earth; the ubiquitous fluctuations are all manifestations of natural energy."

"If it's the method of the toads of Mount Myōboku, which relies on a huge amount of chakra to control natural energy, the danger would be much smaller. Even if they fail and turn into stone, they can be saved through specific methods."

"But my Ryuchi Cave lineage is far more dangerous than that."

"The power of a pure soul trying to contain natural energy is like a rootless duckweed trying to seize the origin of the world."

"You need to possess strong soul power to attempt to merge with natural energy after sensing it; otherwise, your soul will be assimilated by the natural energy and eventually dissipate, becoming part of the natural energy of the world."

"They don't even have the chance to be reborn in the Pure Land."

"Now, do you still intend to cultivate?"

The White Snake Sage's eyes widened suddenly, his golden vertical pupils glaring at Uchiha Ao, and he spoke in a warning tone.
