Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 424: Nuclear Explosion: The Concept of the Sage Form, Orochimaru's Questioning

The fairy posture,
It is a way of purely utilizing natural energy that Uchiha Ci discovered with the help of this body.

When the Sage Form is activated, Uchiha Ci's physical strength will be greatly improved, and he will gain the violent power to tear the tailed beast apart with his bare hands, but he will fall into a period of weakness for a long time afterwards.
This problem was alleviated after his body acquired the same sage-like talent as Jūgo. With the ability of [Heavenly Initiation], Uchiha Ci was able to use the sage form twice in a short period of time.
At the same time, the process of constantly using the Sage Stance is actually a process of allowing body cells to absorb natural energy and continuously strengthen their own body cells.

As time went by, Uchiha Cihui's body reached its limit after several years, and under normal circumstances, he gained the violent power of the Sage Form.
This state is also called——

Sage posture, eternal body.

But now, at the moment when the function of the sage body formed by the fusion of Hashirama's cells began to manifest, it was pushing this technique to perfection.

That is,

The Sage's stance has become a powerful BUFF that does not need to be activated specially, and resides in Uchiha Ci's body.

Uchiha Ci also truly and permanently obtained this violent power that could tear the tailed beast apart with his bare hands.

just
“Is this the upper limit?”

Uchiha Ci couldn't help but frown slightly. According to his perception, even though his body still possessed more and richer activity, vitality and natural energy, the upper limit of this technique was no longer advancing.

It seems that the limit of natural energy's strengthening of the body is only this.

It is roughly equivalent to opening the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu to a level between the seventh gate of shock and the eighth gate of death, without any side effects.

Although this is already very strong and is considered a super-power in the ninja world, it is not as good as the opponents that Uchiha Ci will face in the future.
At least, he had to strengthen his body to the level of Naruto's heavy particle mode, so that he could stably defeat Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was hiding in a corner of this planet and secretly promoting the development of ninja technology.
And now, I always feel that there is still a little bit missing.

"Through the accumulation of immortal bodies, dragon veins, immortal hearts, and immortalization."

"I have now reached my limit in terms of sheer quantity accumulation, so I can only change the 'technical principles' to make quantitative changes produce real qualitative changes."

"The core of the heavy particle mode that 32-year-old Naruto sacrificed the Nine-Tails to explode is similar to the principle of nuclear fusion, that is, the principle that the sun generates energy through nuclear fusion, combining many light particles to produce heavy particles."

"I don't have the Nine-Tails, and I don't have time to find a tailed beast to play house with."

"but,"

Uchiha Ci opened his Sharingan and looked at his chest, at the beating white incandescent heart beneath his chest.

"The principle of Fire Style Chakra Mode is to completely ignite chakra, causing chakra to burn chakra, producing a chain reaction similar to a nuclear explosion. I also accidentally used this ability to defeat the Three Hundred Sand Villages on the battlefield of Rain Country, and on the way to Hell Valley for support, I almost killed the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki."

It is no exaggeration to say that the Fire Style Chakra Mode is the culmination of the Uchiha clan's ninjutsu over the past thousand years.

Although it has been shelved and considered useless,
However, it is undeniable that its intention is perfect and it becomes powerful after successful practice!

Even though Uchiha Ci has now acquired a considerable amount of high-end abilities and techniques in the ninja world,
This technique is still an extremely core part of his combat system.

"Tsk, the wisdom of our ancestors!"

Uchiha Ci couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he really didn't expect that until now, the Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna and the Uchiha clan that developed this technique for thousands of years were still targeting him!
"The key to integrating the Fire Style Chakra Mode with the Sage Style is to change the Fire Style Chakra Mode from burning the chakra in the body to directly burning the natural energy in the cells. Well, it's not complicated, it's just a matter of changing a faucet!"

Uchiha Da Mingming was full of thoughts for a while, and began to think that this would work.
however,
at this time,

"idiot!"

A hoarse voice interrupted Uchiha Ci's question hastily, with a hint of horror in the tone, and said in a very serious tone:

"If you do that, it will explode and kill you!"

I just returned to Loulan, which was reduced to ruins.

When Orochimaru heard his most clever disciple seem to be studying how to commit suicide, his eyes twitched.

I could only explain with my hand covering my forehead,
"If you want to complete this technique, you must first understand the mass-energy equation E=mc, confirm the mass of the natural energy as the reactant, and study whether the natural energy can have the same combustion characteristics as chakra, so as to calculate the final instantaneous release of energy and control this technique within a..." "Teacher Orochimaru!"

Uchiha Ci raised the corner of his mouth, turned his head and waved to the person who came.
The complex sage body, sage transformation, and sage posture in his body were completing the final fusion. At this time, Uchiha Ci's perception ability was far greater than before. Naturally, he sensed the arrival of Orochimaru early on.
And
When the other party came, his face was gloomy and depressed, as if he couldn't wipe off the dark cloud of worry.

Therefore, Uchiha Ci came up with this fantastic idea.

On the one hand, I really want to hear Orochimaru's opinion, on the other hand
he realized

There was a hint of struggle in Orochimaru's eyes when he looked at him.

Uchiha Ci didn't know how to describe the expression on Orochimaru's face.
It was a complex expression that was between humanity and rationality, wavering and hesitant between the two.

It's a bit like the inner struggle of a mad scientist who is about to kill the mouse that has been with him for many years and has turned from an experimental subject into a pet and companion. It's also like the satisfaction of seeing the windmill turning, but also the cruelty of interrupting this process with one's own hands.

Uchiha Ci couldn't understand why Orochimaru showed such an expression to him.

But he knows,

Because of himself, Orochimaru has gained a lot from the dead White Snake Sage, a lot of knowledge, past, distorted historical truths, and the possible direction of this world that he should not know now.

Orochimaru has been cultivating himself.

He was raising a monster that he couldn't control.

He tried to find a path from Uchiha Ci that had always been quite vague in the past, to replicate and eventually surpass this path.

but now,
Uchiha Ci's growth has far exceeded Orochimaru's expectations, and the speed of Uchiha Ci's progress has exceeded common sense.

When the windmill speed increases from 15 to 30 revolutions per minute,
It seemed to be equipped with a nuclear-powered engine, spinning wildly as if it had mutated.
The speed once broke through the sky.
Running at 100000000 revolutions per minute!

This made Orochimaru, who was unwilling to stop staring at the windmill for a moment, feel at a loss and at a loss.

Maybe this road has finally come to an end.

Or maybe it's because this road has reached a fork in the road where we have to split apart.

Both sides have sensed this reality, but have tacitly tried to avoid the issue.

until this moment-

There is no way to avoid it.

Orochimaru was silent for a long time.

Standing on this ruin, looking at the moon hanging high in the center of the night sky,

Until the stars move and the sky sinks into the western mountain.

Uchiha Ci accompanied him patiently, quietly watching the movement of the celestial phenomena, and peacefully enjoying the sense of security and tranquility of having his teacher by his side.

until,

Orochimaru sighed, turned around, and stared at Uchiha Ci with his golden snake eyes more carefully than ever before.

then,

As if holding a great determination, he asked hoarsely:
"Ci,"

"What kind of person do you want to be?"
