Chapter 139 Immortal Mode

After receiving the appointment letter, Orochimaru summoned the jounin leadership on the front line to announce Konoha's appointment of Uchiha Gen.

The jounin had some doubts about Gen Uchiha becoming deputy commander.

After all, strength is different from the ability to handle affairs and command operations, but no fool would object.

Speaking out against this not only offended his superior and his immediate superior, a pair of masters and disciples who wore the same pair of pants, but also disrespected the Hokage's orders. At worst, he would have an extremely uncomfortable life in the future, or at worst, he would be tricked to death on the battlefield!

Therefore, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the Jonin expressed their extremely welcoming and approving attitude.

At this point, Uchiha Genna has legitimately become the number two figure on the front line. The size of the tent has increased, second only to Orochimaru's tent, and there are also two chuunin standing guard.

At the same time, Kirigakure reinforcements also arrived at Kirigakure's frontline camp, but Kirigakure did not use the reinforcements to stop the new offensive, but instead suspended the attack.

Konoha didn't take advantage of Kirigakure's cessation of attack to cause trouble, and kept quiet.

Because it’s almost New Year’s Day.

For Konoha ninjas, January 1, 1952, is the most important holiday of the year.

If there is a large-scale war, no one will have the energy to go to this festival, but it is different with a small-scale war.

A small-scale war involving thousands of people can only be regarded as a trial. There is no need to ignore the most important festival of the year.

Many people were already a little unbalanced after being deployed to the front lines to risk their lives to fight.

Now is an important holiday, and everyone in the village is celebrating the festival happily, but they, the frontline ninjas, are still fighting to the death at this moment.

Let alone entertainment, how can I be mentally balanced without even having a good meal?

If one party celebrates the holidays and the other party does not, it will be even more unbalanced and easily affect morale.

It only lasted one day, so both sides agreed to temporarily cease fire.

Early in the morning of New Year's Day, the ninja in charge of logistics at the Konoha camp used the supplies delivered to start preparing three sumptuous meals for the morning, lunch and evening.

The Konoha ninjas who got up one after another either stopped by to chat, or gathered in groups of two or three to chat, or walked around the camp.

Although the snow was heavy and the cold wind was biting, everyone was happy and enjoying a comfortable and relaxing day with no life-threatening danger.

Of course, not all Konoha ninjas are resting. Necessary cordons still need to be set up to rest in shifts to prevent sneak attacks by enemies who do not follow the ethics of ninja.

Ninjas can do whatever it takes to complete their missions, and they can do whatever it takes to win the war.

Before the protagonist's generation grows up, companions are not that important compared to the mission, and can be discarded when necessary.

The most typical example is Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo.

He gave up the mission in order to save his companion, and the rescued companion complained in turn that he should not have given up the mission in order to save him. This shows the importance of the mission!

On this day, the frontline ninjas are relatively free and can engage in some activities for entertainment, such as fishing, robbery, competitions, etc.

In terms of enjoyment, Uchiha Gen may not have been ranked high in his previous life, but he was still more proficient than the ninjas in this world.

At noon, Uchiha Gen asked people to set up a three-sided tent in the lee of the mountainside.

In the center of the tent were placed two cushions, a table, a special copper pot, two dipping plates, a bottle of sake, two wine glasses, and two pairs of chopsticks.

The meat plates placed on the table include poultry meat shipped from Konoha and game hunted in the mountains and forests.

After everything was ready, Gen Uchiha sent someone to invite Orochimaru over.

The behavior of running a small stove and drinking alcohol in this way actually violated the regulations of the war period. Orochimaru may not have said that he sneered at the regulations, but he actually didn't take it too seriously.

The master and the apprentice were cooking meat, admiring the snowy scenery, and chatting. They took a break from the busy work and had endless fun!

"Teacher Orochimaru, Kirigakure reinforcements have arrived, how are we going to fight later?"

After saying that, Uchiha Gen took a chopstick of meat from the boiling copper pot and put it into the dipping saucer, then put it into his mouth and chewed it happily.

Tender, salty, fragrant, hot and spicy, you just have to sweat profusely to enjoy it in winter!

"To cope with constant changes, I guess Kirigakure will resort to a war of attrition."

"They suffered such a big loss at the hands of our masters and apprentices. After the reinforcements arrived, they gained the upper hand again."

Gen Uchiha nodded slightly, then looked a little strangely: "I don't remember, teacher, you like to eat snake meat?"

There were only three plates of snake meat in total. How long did it take for half of it to be eaten?

"I feel like snake meat is particularly delicious this way."

"Isn't this taboo in Longdi Cave?"

"The three holy places of Ryuji Cave, Miaomu Mountain, and Shiggou Forest are very special. They have been inherited for a long time. They are dependent on the ninja world and at the same time independent of the ninja world."

"You mean it's okay to eat snakes from the ninja world, but not okay to eat snakes from Ryūchi Cave?"

"That's not true. It's okay to eat snakes from Longdi Cave. It's not uncommon for snakes from Longdi Cave to eat people."

"What I mean is that the layout of Longdi Cave is not that small."

Gen Uchiha: "..."

I don’t see any necessary connection between what you said before and the layout of Longdi Cave...

"By the way, Orochimaru-sensei, do you know Sage Mode?"

"I know, but where did you hear about it?"

"It is recorded in the ancient books of the Uchiha clan that the first Hokage turned on the sage mode when fighting Uchiha Madara, and the increase in combat power was quite exaggerated."

"Well, according to the White Snake Immortal, Immortal Mode can increase combat effectiveness several times or even dozens of times."

"The multiple of the increase depends on the amount of chakra you have and your proficiency in Sage Mode. Do you understand?"

Gen Uchiha nodded slightly to express his understanding.

One's own chakra determines the upper limit of the natural energy that can be absorbed, which in turn determines the upper limit of magical chakra.

Proficiency determines the efficiency of utilizing Senjutsu Chakra. If the proficiency is high enough, one Senjutsu Chakra can even exert 120% of its power.

"The principle of Sage Mode is to integrate natural energy into one's own chakra and maintain balance. The ratio is generally about one-third."

"If the ratio is too high or too low, your own chakra and magical chakra will conflict, and you will be killed by the natural energy."

"There are many, many people in Longdi Cave who went berserk because of practicing the immortal mode and were eaten by the big snakes under the command of the White Snake Immortal. The success rate is very, very low."

"Do you still want to practice?"

Orochimaru picked up the small wine and took a sip. His pale and bloodless cheeks were flushed with red, making him look a little strange.

"Of course, risks and rewards are often directly proportional!" Gen Uchiha said without hesitation.

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan doesn't know how many souls it takes to evolve successfully. Before the evolution is successful, he needs to find other ways to improve his strength.

Immortal mode is undoubtedly the most suitable method among many. As your own strength increases, the percentage increases, and it will never become outdated.

Natural energy may be difficult for others to perceive, but it is not difficult for him.

With his soul strength and perception ability, he can sense natural energy anytime he wants.

It shouldn't be too difficult for him to control natural energy and form its chakra into an appropriate proportion...

With his control, controlling chakra is now as easy as drinking water and eating. Natural energy may be more difficult to control, but how difficult can it be?

As the strength of his soul continues to increase, maybe when learning the sage mode, he can also say lightly: "Is this the sage chakra?"

"This power is nothing more than this."

“It seems easy to navigate.”

If it weren't for the fact that the mature immortal mode is relatively stable and the risk of capsizing in the gutter is very small, he would have wanted to try to absorb natural energy and try to activate his own immortal mode.

It's just that he deeply remembered the wise words of his elders when he was a child, "You can't learn to walk without learning to crawl." That's why he never put it into action.

If you want to develop your own sage mode, you still have to learn a sage mode first. It is best to understand all the sage modes in the ninja world.

"Okay, let's go to Longdi Cave to study together from now on."

I went there, but there was a heavy traffic jam on the way home. When I got home, I didn’t fully recover when I was typing, which affected my typing state.
