Chapter 17

Yudao couldn't help but smile as he thought of the character with the widest range of chakra modes. The child of prophecy, Uzumaki Naruto, had four things: Sage Mode, Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Six Paths Sage Mode, as well as a combination of Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

Isn't it too cheaty? Well, that's right, why should Naruto cheat all the time, if you can use different cheats at the most appropriate moments, yes... as befits a real hero.

The combination of Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode gave Yudao an interesting thought.

Each of the nine Bijuu has a unique chakra.

Then what if he collects its samples within himself... Will it be possible to combine the chakra of all Bijuu into Six Paths Senjutsu, without having to become the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails?

Indeed, in the original, Naruto managed to enter the Sage of the Six Paths Mode precisely after receiving part of the chakra of all the Bijuu.

But this is only part of the success.

The decisive factor was still Hagoromo's intervention.

Without the Sage of the Six Paths chakra, the likelihood of success is lower, much lower... if it exists at all. But still, Yudao did not mind collecting the chakra of all the Bijuu and testing his crazy hypothesis.

Even Uchiha Madara and Obito only gained Six Paths Senjutsu after becoming the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.

Yudao would never believe that Madara had never thought about such a possibility. The world is not without smart people. Therefore, we can only assume that the probability of success tends to zero.

Well, or perhaps one of the reasons for Naruto's success was the full assistance of the Nine-Tails, whose chakra almost exceeds the total chakra of all other Bijuu.

In addition, we must not forget that Naruto enjoyed the favor of not only Kurama, but also the rest of the Bijuu, which made it possible to use their chakra without difficulty.

But Yudao decided to put this guess aside and forget about it for a while. So far, he is confident in his own abilities!

But when faced with an opponent at the level of the Six Paths, difficulties may arise, great difficulties.

It's too early to think about that now. First, you need to at least fully master the Sage and Cursed Seal Modes.

In addition, there are issues that will require his solution after returning to Kiri after so many years.

With such thoughts, Yudao came out of Sage Mode and slowly raised his head, locking eyes with Orochimaru.

The Sannin's eyes shone like those of a man who had stumbled upon a life-giving oasis in the middle of the desert.

At the same time, Mei and Ao froze in awe. Both of the powers the First Mizukage had just demonstrated were terrifying. But the stronger he is, the better for Kiri. No cons, only pros.

-What do you say, Orochimaru? – Yudao asked carefree.

"It is not easy to master the power of the Cursed Seal, because it can easily drive the wearer to madness, but as far as I can tell, you have not encountered any difficulties," the Sannin said seriously.

Who else but he should have known about the extremely low survival rate of bearers of the Cursed Seal.

"Well, the second power is not only more powerful, but also more perfect than the Cursed Seal," after thinking a little, Orochimaru confidently added, but tactfully kept silent that it is very reminiscent of the power of Hashirama's cells, which are now in his secret laboratory.

"You want to become stronger, then come to me in Kiri," the First Mizukage proposed, as if by chance.

Any reader or viewer of Naruto is well aware that Orochimaru is a true genius, despite his very problematic character.

Yudao would be very happy to see such a person in Kiri, because his outstanding skills will definitely speed up the takeover of the shinobi world.

From such a proposal, Orochimaru felt very awkward and strange, because this is... his favorite line!

But the power of Sage Mode tempted even the Sannin.

Orochimaru became obsessed not only with the quest for eternal life, but also with the Sharingan after his crushing defeat by Itachi.

Whereas Sage Mode opened up a different path for him.

"I beg your pardon, dear Mizukage, but I need to go, important matters cannot be delayed," after hesitating a little, Orochimaru still refused Yudao's offer.

After these words, Sannin, with a lightning-fast movement of his hands, summoned a huge snake, which, opening its fanged mouth, at once swallowed all the members of the Sound Four, who had until now remained unconscious.

Pooh!

Then she immediately disappeared in a flash of smoke, and Orochimaru himself was already running away as fast as he could with the help of Doton. He was afraid that he would be tempted by the offer if he stayed here even for a second.

– The doors of my Kiri are always open for you, Orochimaru! – Yudao shouted after the fleeing Sannin with notes of disappointment in his voice.

At the same time, Mei and Ao looked at each other helplessly.

Probably only Yudao can dare to invite such a dangerous Nukenin to his village, and even from Konoha, like Orochimaru.

- Let's go, May! Let's see how the village has changed during my absence..." Yudao said, stretching lazily.

- Yes sir! – the flushed Fifth Mizukage immediately responded, looking away in embarrassment.
