Chapter 137: The Shock of Perfect Sage Mode
"Sage Mode?"
"He clapped his hands and entered Sage Mode?!"
"Are you kidding me? Since when did Sage Mode become that easy?!"
"…~..."
Watching the transformation on Uchiha Yuta's face—his cheeks adorned with the markings unique to Sage Mode—the powerful snake sages of Ryūchi Cave: Tian Xin Shenhime, Ichikishima Hime, and Toad Jinji, all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
This was Sage Mode!
Even for the snakes of Ryūchi Cave, learning this sacred mode required meticulous training. One slight mistake in balancing natural energy, and they'd be consumed—turning into stone.
But now, a human who had just appeared in Ryūchi Cave managed to absorb an enormous amount of natural energy and enter Sage Mode with ease. It was beyond comprehension.
One might say...
This wasn't just infuriating—it was offensive. So much so that even snakes were left speechless.
"Is this the perfect Sage Mode granted by the system?" Uchiha Yuta muttered to himself, slightly bewildered.
Because the moment he activated Sage Mode, his entire chakra underwent a transformation—it all became Sage Chakra.
However… the attributes of this new chakra felt strange.
It carried with it a distinct, violent energy—an overwhelming shock.
In other words—
Upon entering Sage Mode, his Gura Gura no Mi—the Tremor-Tremor Fruit—had awakened.
And the Awakening of a Devil Fruit was a higher state of evolution. For Paramecia-types, it could affect the environment itself. For Zoans, it greatly increased recovery and strength, albeit with risks if uncontrolled.
But now, in Sage Mode—
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, renowned as the most powerful Paramecia-type, had awakened.
"How powerful is the awakened Shock Fruit…?" Yuta murmured to himself, sensing the shift in power. "If I push it, I might even be able to shatter space itself."
"Fifth Hokage… what exactly do you intend to do?"
At that moment, Tian Xin Shenhime finally lost her patience. Her voice was cold, laced with killing intent. "You killed Xin Ya in Ryūchi Cave and secretly stole our Sage Mode? You're truly brazen."
"Hmph." Ichikishima Hime sneered. "To think you'd dare steal the Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode… You'll have to pay the price."
"Let me tell you—" Toad Jinji hissed, "Even Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, shows respect when he visits Ryūchi Cave."
"Steal Sage Mode?"
Uchiha Yuta raised an eyebrow, then gave the three snake princesses a long, lazy look.
What a joke.
He had a system—why on earth would he need to steal anything?
"Still denying it?" Tian Xin Shenhime gritted her teeth. "Even if I don't know how you infiltrated Ryūchi Cave, the fact remains: You killed Xin Ya and stole our Sage Mode!"
"The White Snake Sage won't forgive you," Ichikishima Hime added darkly. "Nothing in Ryūchi Cave escapes her eyes. You're dead."
"That's right…" Toad Jinji flicked out her tongue maliciously. "Now that you're here—you're not leaving."
"Heh…"
Looking at the three high-ranking snake sages—Tian Xin Shenhime, Ichikishima Hime, and Toad Jinji—who were radiating murderous intent, Uchiha Yuta only smiled in disdain.
"Attack him!!"
Enraged by his mockery, Tian Xin Shenhime's expression turned savage. Her body suddenly transformed into a massive serpent, releasing a terrifying wave of Sage Chakra.
She refused to believe that anyone could defy the rules inside Ryūchi Cave.
"Kill him—!"
The words had barely left her mouth before countless giant snakes lunged forward, their bloodlust overflowing.
Some of them even bore Sage markings, their bodies radiating Sage Chakra—they had clearly mastered Ryūchi Cave's unique Sage Mode.
BOOM! BOOM!!
In an instant—
Violent auras exploded outward, and the natural energy of Ryūchi Cave was whipped into chaos. Tian Xin Shenhime, Ichikishima Hime, and Toad Jinji all transformed into their full serpent forms, mouths wide and fangs gleaming.
"Seriously…?"
Gazing at the grotesque sea of monstrous serpents before him, Uchiha Yuta's eyes narrowed in cold indifference. He sighed.
He had been curious how powerful his Conqueror's Haki would become under perfect Sage Mode.
Now, a batch of test subjects had kindly presented themselves.
BUZZ—!!
The next second—
Before any of the snakes could even strike, Yuta's body erupted with a terrifying pressure that made the entire cave tremble.
CRACK… CRACK…!!
The very air around him shattered.
Caught in the shockwave, the charging snakes all froze—hearts gripped by an overwhelming dread. Their massive bodies came to a halt.
"H-How is this possible?!"
"What kind of terrifying aura is this?!"
Tian Xin Shenhime, Ichikishima Hime, and Toad Jinji all felt the same thing:
Utter fear.
Because in that moment—
Their minds involuntarily recalled a vision:
Uchiha Yuta slaughtering all of Ryūchi Cave.
Their souls trembled.
Their instincts screamed.
Their knees gave out.
THUD—! THUD—!
Seconds later, a cascade of heavy thuds echoed across the cave.
All the giant snakes collapsed like dominoes, eyes rolling back.
Even the powerful trio—Tian Xin Shenhime, Ichikishima Hime, and Toad Jinji—trembled uncontrollably before crashing to the ground.
Their pride shattered.
Their fear absolute.
