Chapter 693: The Power of Immortal Arts
"Yu Sheng Mu Yue, how does it feel to learn the Immortal Arts? Is it troublesome?" Water Gate asked curiously.
"I think it's manageable, but I might need to trouble you a bit more in the near future," Mu Yue replied after some thought.
"Don't worry, when I start learning, I'll need your help," Water Gate said with a smile.
After that, Water Gate and Mu Yue discussed the specifics of the Ninja Academy reform implementation.
The Ninja Academy reform was the first major decision they made after taking office, and it was a crucial decision that would impact Konoha's future. Water Gate was eager for this reform to be a resounding success.
After the conversation, Mu Yue returned to the Hokage Office, dismissed the Shadow Clone working there, created another Shadow Clone, and then used the Rasengan to leave Konoha.
Ever since mastering the Sage Mode, Mu Yue had been eager to test its amplifying effects on his various abilities.
For instance, he wondered how powerful the Armored Color Defense would be when using Sage Chakra, or how much stronger his regular ninjutsu would become when combining the Breath Technique Chakra Mode with the Sage Mode.
He also wondered if unique jutsu like No Limit would change when using Sage Chakra.
The Sage Mode was like a magnifying glass; without any modifications, simply changing the chakra used to cast the jutsu to Sage Chakra would enhance its power, a straightforward and powerful approach.
However, Mystic Wood Mountain was the territory of the toads, and Mu Yue's techniques were not insignificant. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose not to test them on the mountain.
Mu Yue traveled south to the mountains in the Land of Fire.
The southern region of the Land of Fire was economically disadvantaged and had many remote mountains, making it an ideal location for Mu Yue to test his more powerful techniques without causing a scene.
Upon arrival, Mu Yue stood still and absorbed natural energy to gather Sage Chakra, entering the Sage Mode.
Once in the Sage Mode, he immediately focused on the Flame Breath, entering the Flame Breath Chakra Mode.
However, when using the Breath Technique, Mu Yue directed most of his energy to the technique, filtering out the natural energy it attracted and not absorbing it into his body for the technique's circulation.
Although the Breath Technique with natural energy would be stronger than the normal version, it was undoubtedly less potent than the Sage Mode combined with the Breath Technique Chakra Mode.
"Indeed, there's an all-around improvement," Mu Yue clenched his fist, feeling the powerful force surging within him.
In the Sage Mode, the Breath Technique Chakra Mode burned Sage Chakra, further enhancing its amplifying effect.
"Immortal Spell: Fire Dragon Dance!"
Mu Yue wasted no time, clapping his hands and instantly converting a large amount of Sage Chakra into flames, which he then expelled in one go.
The moment the massive flames appeared, they emitted a suffocating heat, creating rolling waves of heat that seemed to boil the air itself.
Boom!!
The orange-red flames crashed down like giant waves, spreading rapidly. Wherever the flames touched, the temperature soared to unimaginable levels, filling the air with a pungent mix of scorched and burning scents.
The tall trees, under the intense heat, quickly dried out and cracked, then burst into flames upon contact with the fire. A towering pillar of fire flashed by, leaving behind some black ash on the ground.
The fire spread at an incredible speed, turning the dense forest into a sea of flames in an instant. The lush greenery was mercilessly devoured by the flames, replaced by endless crimson and ash. Even the forest soil turned black and began to crack under the terrifying heat, as if the very earth was wailing.
In the blink of an eye, the forest was gone, leaving only a scorching sea of flames.
"Water Style: Great Water Surge!"
Mu Yue immediately switched to the Water Breath and entered the Water Breath Chakra Mode, consuming a large amount of chakra to expel a massive water flow, finally extinguishing the sea of flames.
"Wood Style: Tree World Birth!"
Mu Yue then used Wood Style ninjutsu to create a forest, transforming the barren land back into a lush, vibrant forest.
"That was quite a drain," Mu Yue exhaled lightly.
He had just finished using the Fire Dragon Dance when the Sage Chakra was completely depleted, causing him to automatically exit the Sage Mode.
Mu Yue thought about it carefully; the Fire Dragon Dance was already a chakra-consuming Fire Jutsu Secret Technique, and the Flame Breath Chakra Mode was rapidly burning through the Sage Chakra.
"However, with this, abilities like Blue Flame and No Thought Blade can only be used once, and even then, not at full power," Mu Yue's expression turned thoughtful.
Both the single-time accumulation of Sage Chakra and the Sage Mode's sustainability were issues.
The latter was slightly easier to solve, as Mu Yue's body did not have a Nine-Tailed Beast, allowing the two sages to use the Twin Lives Technique on him, essentially giving him two powerful power banks with excellent sustainability for battles.
However, this solution wasn't without drawbacks.
Firstly, this was external assistance, and the two sages had their own stances. If Mu Yue were to clash with the combined forces of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the two sages might not necessarily help him.
When using the Twin Lives Technique, the two Immortals are not in an invincible or indestructible state. They can still be attacked and injured, which would disrupt the technique.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue still wanted to compensate for his weaknesses instead of relying solely on the Twin Lives Technique.
"Although it consumes a lot of chakra, the power has indeed improved by leaps and bounds," Yu Sheng Mu Yue recalled the forest turning into ashes and thought to himself.
The Flame Breath Chakra Mode burns Immortal Chakra, enhancing it more than the regular Flame Breath Chakra Mode. So the Fire Dragon Dance he just performed wasn't an ordinary Immortal Art.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue didn't use the Flame Breath Chakra Mode; instead, he used regular Immortal Chakra to perform the Fire Dragon Dance, which was the standard process and strength of an Immortal Art.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue felt that if he used this technique against a ninja force, everyone within range would die, except for the fastest ninjas who might have a slim chance of escaping.
Even a powerful Water Style user like the Third Mizukage would have no chance of blocking such a high-level Fire Style technique. Their only chance of survival would be to run.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Yu Sheng Mu Yue created two shadow clones, sending one to absorb natural energy while the other began to absorb natural energy and gather Immortal Chakra to enter Sage Mode.
"Immortal Spell: Armored Color!"
Yu Sheng Mu Yue transformed a large amount of Immortal Chakra into Yin Attribute Immortal Chakra, and the dark-colored Armored Color quickly covered his right fist.
Boom!!
Yu Sheng Mu Yue unleashed his chakra and swung his Immortal Armored Color fist, instantly creating several huge cracks in the ground, each several dozen meters long.
"Both my defense and attack power have increased significantly, but I don't know if it can block a Sage Orb," Yu Sheng Mu Yue said, deep in thought.
Sage Orbs possess the power to ignore ninjutsu.
With his Armored Color and Limitless techniques, Yu Sheng Mu Yue could bathe in the ninjutsu of ordinary ninjas without sustaining even a millimeter of injury.
However, when facing a Sage Orb, the performance of Limitless and Armored Color might not be much better than regular defensive ninjutsu. This was a case of hierarchical suppression.
But with Immortal Armored Color, it might be different, as Sage Orbs cannot dispel Immortal Arts.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue took out the Six Paths Tin Rod from the system space.
After infusing chakra, the Six Paths Tin Rod exhibited properties similar to a Sage Orb, making it suitable for testing.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue gathered a large amount of Immortal Chakra in his left arm to create the Armored Color while holding the Six Paths Tin Rod with his right hand, infusing it with chakra, and striking his left arm.
There was no other choice; after infusing chakra, even his shadow clones couldn't hold it, so he had to strike himself.
Bang!
The black Six Paths Tin Rod struck his arm covered in Immortal Armored Color, and Yu Sheng Mu Yue instantly felt a sharp pain in his left arm.
However, to Yu Sheng Mu Yue's relief, the Immortal Armored Color didn't dissipate upon impact with the Six Paths Tin Rod. It still served its purpose, but it seemed like it might not be enough to block a Sage Orb directly, possibly due to insufficient chakra.
After healing himself with Medical Ninjutsu, Yu Sheng Mu Yue activated the Limitless Technique with Immortal Chakra and then threw a Rasengan. When the Rasengan kunai landed, he swung the Six Paths Tin Rod towards it.
Whoosh!
Yu Sheng Mu Yue used the Rasengan Technique to teleport next to the Rasengan kunai.
In the end, the Six Paths Tin Rod stopped one centimeter in front of Yu Sheng Mu Yue, unable to move any closer.
"As expected of a Six Paths-level technique, even with Immortal-driven Limitless, it might still be possible to encounter an unblockable problem," Yu Sheng Mu Yue said as he held the Six Paths Tin Rod and returned it to the system space.
If he hadn't increased the output of Limitless, the Six Paths Tin Rod might have broken through the Limitless technique just like before.
The good news was that Limitless could also benefit from the enhancement of Sage Mode.
The bad news was that Immortal Limitless seemed to have a mechanism that couldn't suppress Six Paths-level techniques like Sage Orbs, leaving the possibility of being broken.
However, overall, it was still good news. As long as there was enough Immortal Chakra, enduring a Sage Orb wasn't just a dream.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue tested the output capacity of Limitless, and it had indeed become stronger, but it was still not very practical. With that amount of Immortal Chakra, he could use other abilities for output.
Then, Yu Sheng Mu Yue tested his more powerful abilities one by one.
When testing No Thought Blade, as Yu Sheng Mu Yue had expected, even after depleting all his Immortal Chakra, he couldn't reach the limit of its power.
Perfect Lightning Chakra Nature Transformation, Perfect Thunder Breath, and Perfect No Thought Blade—the combination of these three Perfect-level techniques had an incredibly high limit.
Even without reaching the limit, their power was still formidable, making it Yu Sheng Mu Yue's strongest offensive ability.
After gathering the chakra, Yu Sheng Mu Yue didn't dare to unleash it directly, as even with some of its power dispersed, the environmental destruction was still exaggerated.
