Chapter 35: Perfect Sage Mode  

Time passed, and Sasuke's body was wrapped in a layer of white energy. 

The White Snake Sage looked at Sasuke, who was calm and composed, with a look of surprise. 

No natural energy leaked out, and the natural energy actually stayed in his body obediently, allowing Sasuke to operate and absorb it. 

Is this still the domineering natural energy I know? 

People who fail to master Sage Mode are usually defeated because they can't bear the natural energy. 

What is the origin of this kid? The natural energy doesn't even cause a ripple in his body. 

There are no signs of snake transformation. Maybe this will be the most perfect Sage Mode controller in the past thousand years, the White Snake Sage thought. 

Sasuke now felt very comfortable and warm all over, as if he were swimming in a sea of cotton. 

In fact, when the natural energy wanted to overwhelm Sasuke's body, the Sage Hashirama's cells would show their power, and in the end, it could only be digested by Sasuke obediently. 

Hashirama cells are so domineering; no wonder Danzo, who only transplanted a defective Hashirama cell arm, had to suppress it with the Sharingan. 

To others, Hashirama's cells are no different from life-threatening poison. 

*Huh...* 

The Heaven's Curse Seal on Sasuke's neck exploded and was completely swallowed by the natural energy. A strong sense of pressure expanded outward. 

Purple eye shadow appeared in the corners of Sasuke's eyes. At this moment, Sasuke was completely different from before. 

It was as if he did not exist in this world and was completely integrated into nature. 

"Broken..." 

"That's right," the White Snake Sage said as he swam down from the throne. "This is the characteristic of the perfect Sage Mode." 

"After two hours of preliminary mastery of Sage Mode, I even doubt whether you are the illegitimate son of the Sage of Six Paths." 

"Sasuke, your name is worth remembering. Come with me." 

The White Snake Sage ignored Orochimaru and the others and took Sasuke deeper into the cave. 

Orochimaru's heart was surging. "The most perfect Sage Mode, Sasuke-kun, I still underestimated you." 

Orochimaru showed a sick smile. "Such a Sasuke-kun is the most worthy of absorbing." 

"The most perfect container so far, haha... cough cough." 

If Sasuke saw Orochimaru's attitude, he would definitely ridicule him. 

Mastering Sage Mode, as long as he practiced, with the increase of sage techniques, his strength would definitely be top-notch among the Kage level. 

If he awakened the Mangekyō, Sasuke dared to fight with Pain. 

Even Orochimaru in his prime would definitely not be his opponent, and he could do whatever he wanted. 

"It seems that your relationship with Orochimaru is not just a simple superior and subordinate?" the White Snake Sage's voice reached Sasuke's ears. 

In fact, there was nothing to hide, and the White Snake Sage seemed to have a good impression of him. 

Sasuke openly spoke of the matter, without concealing his murderous intentions towards Orochimaru, just to test the White Snake Sage's position. 

"I won't care about mundane matters. But Sasuke, I want you to become the representative of Ryuchi Cave in the ninja world. 

You can summon any creature from Ryuchi Cave, and they will obey you unconditionally. 

In the next two months, I will personally teach you how to use sage techniques." 

The White Snake Sage wanted to win over Sasuke; after all, Sasuke's qualifications were too good to be true. 

Another reason was that she had a hunch that this child had a promising future and would even change the entire ninja world. 

Sasuke readily agreed. Isn't this very similar to the relationship between Jiraiya and Mount Myoboku? 

But he was obviously more valued because he was taught by the White Snake Sage himself. 

"Well, you can be taught." 

Under the arrangement of the White Snake Sage, Sasuke signed a summoning contract with the strongest summoning beast in Ryuchi Cave, Manda. 

However, Manda was extremely humble to him, which was completely different from the attitude towards Orochimaru. 

"Sasuke-sama, following the White Snake Sage's order, Manda will become your most capable assistant." 

Sasuke was very satisfied with Manda's attitude. After mastering sage techniques, he would summon more powerful creatures to let Orochimaru expand his horizons. 

In this way, Sasuke practiced with the White Snake Sage while Orochimaru and others waited outside helplessly. 

Under the Deep Pool Stream, Sasuke sat cross-legged on the giant mountain with his upper body naked, accepting the baptism of the rapids. 

Eight slender dragon heads emerged from the white vortex behind him, with dragon horns in the shape of sharp blades, extremely sharp. 

Sasuke named it "Magic Eight Dragons Against the Heads." 

This move was specifically used to deal with enemies with strong physical skills, allowing Sasuke to gain the upper hand in close combat. 

As long as the dragon heads bit the enemy, the poison would be instantly injected into the enemy's body, either killing or seriously injuring them. 

The White Snake Sage, coiled on the shore, nodded with satisfaction. Sasuke's mastery of sage techniques had reached an extremely high level. 

"Sasuke is much stronger than the spokesperson selected by the Old Toad Sage. 

Now let's see how you can compete with me." 

The White Snake Sage had long been dissatisfied with the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku. She was in a particularly good mood to be able to outdo the Toad Sage in the matter of selecting a spokesperson. 

"Sage Art: White Rage Technique" 

Sasuke boldly fired at the White Snake Sage on the shore. 

The Sage Art: White Rage Technique was a binding ninjutsu that blocked the enemy's vision, hearing, and touch. 

However, with Sasuke's improvement, its attack power was not to be underestimated. 

The white streak carried strong natural energy and was extremely powerful. Weak opponents would probably be turned into a blood mist. 

However, the streak disappeared five meters away from the White Snake Sage, as if it had entered another space. 

It seemed that the White Snake Sage's strength was much greater than what Sasuke had seen. 

"Powerful ninjutsu. You can leave in a few days. I have nothing more to teach you." 

The White Snake Sage exhaled a puff of smoke and commented casually, without blaming Sasuke's behavior. 

Sasuke bowed and said, "Thank you, White Snake Sage. I will make good use of this ability." 

Sasuke was speaking from the heart. The White Snake Sage had indeed taken good care of him during this period. 

Not only did she allow him to summon the creatures of Ryuchi Cave at will, but she also taught him personally and helped him develop his sage techniques. 

He thought he was not a kind person, but repaying a favor was Sasuke's basic principle. 

"Go." 

When Sasuke looked over next, the figure of the White Snake Sage had disappeared, leaving only a delicate white scale. 

Sasuke picked up the scale, thought about it, and put it in his backpack. 

With this scale, no one would dare to stop him from entering and leaving Ryuchi Cave, because it represented the will of the White Snake Sage. 

"Next time, I'll order the giant snakes guarding the gate not to allow Orochimaru to enter, and see if it works," Sasuke thought and laughed. 

*Ah...* 

"Lord Orochimaru, are you okay?" Kabuto asked suspiciously. 

How could he, a Kage-level strongman, be spitting out his eyelashes for no reason? He couldn't have caught a cold! 

Nonsense. A Kage-level strongman catching a cold is more outrageous than a sow climbing a tree.
