Chapter 178 - Chapter 178: Uzumaki Clan Sage Art

"The Uzumaki clan actually has something like this. If it's true, then the Uzumaki clan is definitely not just a clan skilled in sealing. Then why was the Uzumaki clan annihilated back then!?!?" Sasuke muttered to himself.

Staring fixedly at the scroll, Sasuke fell into deep thought. If what the scroll said truly existed, the Uzumaki clan shouldn't have been annihilated so easily.

The scroll was divided into two parts. The first part recorded many sealing jutsus of the Uzumaki clan, such as the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, the Four Symbols Sealing Style, the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Style, the Five Elements Sealing Style, and even taboo techniques like the Corpse Demon Consuming Seal.

However, it also recorded a barrier technique of extremely terrifying power: the Four Red Yang Formation, which was precisely the barrier technique used by the Four Hokage in the original Fourth Great Ninja War to trap the Ten-Tails.

Seeing the content of the first part, Sasuke was a bit surprised, but not overly shocked. After all, the Uzumaki clan itself was a ninja clan skilled in sealing techniques. Furthermore, as a descendant of Ashina, it was impossible for them not to have some powerful techniques.

However, the content of the second part was completely beyond Sasuke's expectation. "Sage Chakra? Is it that powerful, special chakra Jiraiya used back then?" Sasuke muttered to himself.

He clearly remembered that after Jiraiya entered that so-called Sage Mode, the chakra in his body also underwent a mutation, and its power surged several, even more than ten times. Not only that, but his abilities in terms of strength, speed, reaction time, and all other aspects surged. Genjutsu was almost immune to him, and he could even use a special, powerful ninjutsu, "Sage Art: Amphibian Technique."

Sage Mode relies on absorbing natural energy from the natural world and mixing it with one's own chakra in a certain proportion to form a more powerful Sage Chakra. Also, a 'sage' face pattern appears on the face. This is the so-called Sage Mode.

The latter half of the scroll precisely recorded the method of using Sage Mode. However, the Sage Mode recorded on this scroll was a bit different: the user had to possess the Uzumaki clan's bloodline to activate it. It could be said to be a Sage Mode unique to the Uzumaki clan; outsiders could not use it.

However, using Sage Art was secondary. According to the records on the scroll, the main purpose of this Sage Mode in the Uzumaki clan at that time was to fully activate the bloodline within the Uzumaki clan members' bodies, allowing the Uzumaki clan's powerful chakra and vitality to fully manifest. It could be said to be a product of bloodline power, after all, the Uzumaki clan was born with such strong vitality and physique.

However, if the bloodline concentration was too low, it also wouldn't work. The primary condition for using this Sage Mode was that the bloodline concentration must reach a certain level. Moreover, learning this Sage Art carried great risks. If one was not careful, it could even cause a bloodline surge in the body, leading to death from bleeding from all seven orifices. It could be said to be extremely dangerous, as this unique Sage Art of the Uzumaki clan must rely on the bloodline to be performed.

Therefore, among the Uzumaki clan, those qualified to learn this Sage Art were few and far between. All of them were extremely excellent clan members who were granted the right to learn it. These secrets were clearly recorded on the scroll.

The Uzumaki clan naturally possessed immense chakra and strong vitality, so their bloodline was extremely close to nature. That was why they could perform this Sage Art by relying on the power of their bloodline. Not only that, but the cultivation process was also extremely difficult. Like Jiraiya's Sage Art, one must achieve 'stillness,' reaching a state of integration with nature, a unity of heaven and man.

Not only must the body reach a state of unity with heaven and man, but one must also possess the Uzumaki clan bloodline with a certain purity. These were the conditions for cultivating this Sage Mode. It could be said to be much harsher than Jiraiya's Sage Mode cultivation conditions. Jiraiya's Sage Mode originated from Mount Myōboku, one of the Big Three Sage Regions.

Although the risks were equally great, at least ordinary people had the chance to cultivate it. However, this Uzumaki clan Sage Art could only be cultivated by those with the Uzumaki clan bloodline, and the difficulty of cultivation was quite a bit harder than Mount Myōboku's Sage Art.

However, this Sage Art also had advantages over Mount Myōboku's Sage Art: it didn't require time to gather natural energy. One could directly enter Sage Mode in an instant. When Sasuke and Jiraiya fought, he clearly remembered that Jiraiya still took quite some time to enter Sage Mode.

"Is this the Sage Mode unique to the Uzumaki clan? So, the Senju clan should also have this kind of Sage Art." Sasuke spoke softly as he looked at the scroll in his hand.

Unknowingly, a long time had passed. Sasuke was suddenly startled, and only then did he remember that White was still outside. He immediately placed the scroll into his ninja tool bag, planning to take it back and study it slowly.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he seemed to remember something again. He slowly knelt down towards the altar and kowtowed several times. After all, he possessed the Uzumaki clan bloodline, and had also received the Uzumaki clan's inheritance, so kowtowing was appropriate.

"If I am fortunate enough to cultivate Sage Mode, I will definitely bring forth its power to the fullest. And, thank you." Sasuke said sincerely, then stood up, deeply looked at this true ancestral land of the Uzumaki clan, and slowly walked out of the shrine.

He came to the side of the formation again, took out a kunai, and cut his arm. Fresh blood spurted out again. "It's time to go back."

At this moment, White still sat quietly within that shrine, staring blankly at the formation on the ground. After the previous chaos, she had also discovered its principle and knew that Sasuke might have been teleported somewhere, so she did not leave, but quietly waited here, because she knew that if nothing happened to Sasuke, he would definitely be teleported back...
