Chapter 136: The Hidden Wrath of Ryūchi Cave
As one of the Three Great Sage Regions, Ryūchi Cave held a mysterious and terrifying reputation.
But the moment chaos erupted…
BOOM! BOOM!!
Violent chakra surged from all directions within the cave.
The natural energy itself trembled.
It was as if Ryūchi Cave had fallen into a rage.
"A human?"
"How did he get into the Hidden Chamber?!"
"Shin'ya… Shin'ya was completely obliterated—his body reduced to scraps!"
An uproar spread through Ryūchi Cave.
Within minutes, the high-ranking sage serpents—Lady Tianxin, Ichikishima, and Tagorihime—rushed to the chamber.
When their eyes fell upon the dismembered, unrecognizable remains of Shin'ya, a chill ran down their spines.
Even for the ruthless Shin'ya, to die like this was… unthinkable.
"There's no way..."
None of them could've imagined this outcome.
In all of Ryūchi Cave, Shin'ya was known for his brute strength and uncontrollable rage. Even the three sage sisters had always avoided conflict with him.
And now—he was reduced to flesh and bloodied fragments.
"Wait…"
Lady Tianxin suddenly narrowed her turquoise eyes, her pupils contracting in disbelief.
"That robe… That aura... Could this man be—"
Her voice trembled.
"…The Fifth Hokage?!"
"What?!"
Ichikishima and Tagorihime both gasped and turned their attention to the human standing calmly amid the wreckage.
There it was—the unmistakable robe of the Fifth Hokage.
And his eyes… Sharingan blazing with cold clarity.
No doubt about it.
The man standing before them was Uchiha Yuta—the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure.
The same man whispered about across the shinobi world as a god of the battlefield.
The three sage serpents fell silent, shocked by his sudden appearance in the depths of Ryūchi Cave.
Ssssshhk… ssshhk…
A grating sound echoed across the cavern.
From every corner, enormous snakes emerged—twisting bodies, gleaming fangs, eyes filled with malice.
They stared in disbelief at Shin'ya's mangled corpse.
"Shin'ya… is dead?"
"That human did it?!"
"We didn't like Shin'ya—but a human has no right to enter Ryūchi Cave and kill one of our own!"
"Kill him! Devour him!"
Unlike the sage sisters, these monstrous serpents had no awareness of the outside world.
To them, Uchiha Yuta was merely prey—food that dared tread into their sacred lair.

At that moment, Uchiha Yuta slowly looked up.
"So… this is Ryūchi Cave."
As more snakes slithered out, their bodies coiled and brimming with pure natural energy, Yuta immediately realized where the system had teleported him.
He had been randomly sent to one of the Three Great Sage Regions.
"System," he said calmly, "Check in—Ryūchi Cave."
He completely ignored the gathering serpents.
To him, they were no threat.
One second… ten seconds… thirty seconds…
A full minute passed.
Then—
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host! You have successfully discovered and refreshed the map for Ryūchi Cave!"
"Check-in successful at the system-refresh location: Ryūchi Cave."
"Reward acquired: Perfect Sage Mode (no side effects)."
"Reward has been stored in system space. Once accepted, you will be able to activate Sage Mode instantly with a single hand seal."
---
A faint smile tugged at Uchiha Yuta's lips.
Perfect Sage Mode… finally.
He had long awaited this moment.
After signing in and acquiring Hashirama Senju's Immortal Body, he had been waiting to unlock the perfect Sage Mode.
And now, the moment had arrived.
Sage Mode—born from the mastery of natural energy, creating Senjutsu Chakra—granted immense enhancements to all forms of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.
He still remembered how awe-inspiring Naruto Uzumaki's Six Paths Sage Mode had been in the original timeline.
"System," Yuta said silently, "Begin fusion with Perfect Sage Mode."
---
Fwwwoooom!!!
White light exploded from within him.
In that moment, all the natural energy in Ryūchi Cave surged toward him like a tidal wave.
CRACKLE—RUMBLE—WHIRL!!!
A vortex formed in midair as nature itself bent to his presence.
Every serpent, including Lady Tianxin, Ichikishima, and Tagorihime, was left frozen.
Their minds raced, struggling to understand.
"What… is he doing?!"
"He's absorbing natural energy at that rate?! That's suicidal!"
Even for them—ancient masters of Ryūchi Cave's Senjutsu—drawing in that much energy so quickly would cause the body to rupture and disintegrate.
They didn't need to stop him.
To them, this foolish human would destroy himself soon enough.
---
But…
Five minutes passed.
Then ten.
Not only did Uchiha Yuta remain standing—his aura began growing stronger.
Deeper.
Wilder.
Yet stable.
They stared in disbelief as the human's chakra began to evolve.
---
Ssssslack!!
A crisp sound echoed.
With a single clap of his hands,
Uchiha Yuta activated the newly fused Perfect Sage Mode.
His body glowed with a radiant outline.
Mysterious markings etched themselves across his skin.
On his face, divine patterns resembling those of an ancient deity began to take shape.
He had done it.
He had mastered Perfect Sage Mode—
with zero side effects, and with total control over the natural energy of Ryūchi Cave.
Lady Tianxin, Ichikishima, Tagorihime, and even the countless other monstrous snakes could only look on in stunned silence.
None of them had ever seen this before.
This wasn't just Sage Mode—
This was perfection.
