"Did something funny happen?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Kimimaro noticed Sasuke's lips curling up slightly. As he listened to Tansu talk about the cultivation of Sage Art on Mount Myoboku, he didn't find anything laughable. He couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing. I just thought of a hopelessly stupid idiot."
Kimimaro stared blankly at Sasuke's expression. It seemed that the person in his memory should be a very interesting guy.
...
"In our Ryūchi Cave, the cultivation of Sage Art is based on chakra creation and the condensation of Natural Energy. If Mount Myoboku focuses on static cultivation, then we focus on dynamic cultivation. However, since both of you have had prior exposure to Sage Art, it won't be that difficult for you to learn."
The two looked at each other, and their cultivation in the Ryūchi Cave commenced.
...
"Bang!"
Two figures, one in black and one in white, lunged at each other. A powerful chakra cyclone spread out like a bomb, and the strong wind made it hard for people to open their eyes.
"Wow... This is incredible! Are they really human beings?"
Tansu and the other two of the Three Maidens stared blankly at the two using Sage Art to spar with each other and couldn't help but sigh.
"Generally speaking, the cultivation of Sage Art is extremely difficult. Otherwise, it would have been common everywhere. But these two guys actually mastered it in such a short time. It's incredible."
"Yes. I was wondering before why the White Snake Sage let these two learn without any assessment. It turns out the White Snake Sage had already recognized their extraordinary nature."
The Three Maidens observed the two. Generally speaking, the better one can maintain their original form, the better their control over Natural Energy will be.
These two were incredibly powerful in this regard.
...
"How about it? Have you basically mastered it?"
Sasuke had mastered the Sage Mode. A purple shadow around his cold eyes slanted upwards, and his eyes turned into snake - like pupils, which would change when he used his Sharingan. Otherwise, there were no other changes to his body.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't grow anything strange.
Kimimaro's Sage Mode also had a purple shadow around his eyes, but he had horn - like protrusions on his head. Overall, it wasn't too bad.
"Thanks to Sasuke - sama's help, I've basically mastered the Sage Mode."
The two mastered the Sage Art at an astonishing speed, but Sasuke, who had a deep understanding of chakra, was faster. He not only mastered it proficiently himself but also guided Kimimaro.
"Now, how do you feel about your body?"
Kimimaro felt the surging vitality in his body. This was the first time he had felt the energy of life surging in his body since he suffered from a terminal illness.
He clenched his hands tightly, closed his eyes, and indulged in the majestic vitality.
This is his body under Sage Mode. He felt that the functions of his entire body were rapidly recovering. Even the previously incurable diseases showed signs of being suppressed.
"Sasuke - sama, I feel that the healing speed of my body has accelerated under Sage Mode. I not only feel more energetic, but also breathe more smoothly."
Sasuke was secretly extremely delighted. Sure enough, his guess was correct. The drug developed by Itachi could be further studied.
Sage Mode can not only strengthen Ninjutsu but also enhance one's physical constitution, so as to adapt to a higher - level Chakra output.
He himself had also secretly conducted quite a few tests. When he used the Mangekyō Sharingan, he no longer felt the pain all over his body, even in his cells. Moreover, unless he overused it, he wouldn't have a blurry vision no matter how long he used it.
The Sage Art was truly extraordinary.
Thinking about it, wasn't it the case that Obito obtained this ability after transplanting Hashirama's cells? The powerful vitality and recovery ability brought by Hashirama's cells were exactly the same as the Sage Art he was currently cultivating.

"Oh, you're coming to say goodbye to me so soon. It's been a long time since such interesting guys as you appeared in my Ryūchi Cave."
Looking at the huge White Snake Sage sitting on the platform, although this guy said it was a pity, judging from his grinning mouth, Sasuke always felt that this guy was trying to get rid of him.
"Well, I've learned what I should. It's time to go."
"Tsk, Orochimaru's subordinates are really rude. You've learned the Sage Art, but you don't even know how to say something nice to please me. You're really clueless."
"Let's go, Kimimaro."
Sasuke didn't argue with the White Snake Sage any longer. He turned around and called Kimimaro. Then the two of them walked out of the gate of the Ryūchi Cave together.
"Is the White Snake Sage just going to let them go like this?"
The huge white snake hissed with its forked tongue and roared angrily at these three clueless subordinates.
"Otherwise? Are you going to stop him?"
"But this guy's words are so offensive. We've worked so hard to teach him, but he always keeps a straight face like a lord. It's just too much."
The White Snake Sage squinted his long vertical pupils, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"Judging from this kid's bad temper, Orochimaru might as well have found an old - fashioned troublemaker. Our Ryūchi Cave is too small to accommodate this Daibutsu. I'll be more at ease if he leaves earlier. It's just..."
It's just that the complex Chakra on the young boy seemed to have become even more obscure and complex. It's unknown whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
..............
"Welcome back, Sasuke, Kimimaro."
Orochimaru seemed to know when the two would return and stood at the base gate waiting in advance. Kabuto was also standing beside him.
This guy had become much better - behaved after the last lesson. He didn't rush up to pick a fight with him again. It seems that people can learn from physical punishment. Some people won't know their place until they get a beating!
"So, how did the learning go?"
"Well, although I don't like what that big snake said, I've learned its skills. Kimimaro also said that his body felt much better when he activated Sage Mode. It seems that we can continue the research and development of the drug."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. This 'dad' really knows how to assign tasks. As soon as he came back, a mission was given.
"Don't worry. Leave the drug business to me."
The four of them walked two - by - two in the dark corridor. Through the door, they could hear the lively noise inside. Orochimaru squinted and rubbed his forehead with a headache.
