Chapter 153 Dragon Cave
Chapter 153 Dragon Cave
At this moment, Boruto's aura began to become extremely powerful, and the distinctive facial features of someone activating Sage Mode gradually appeared on his face.
Although Boruto felt he didn't need to use Sage Mode right now, seeing Sasuke's posture made him want to show off the results of his training.
Seeing Boruto display Sage Mode, Orochimaru's face showed surprise. He did not expect that Boruto had mastered the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku. In that case, the outcome of this battle may no longer be in doubt.
The cursed seal on Sasuke was created through his own experimental research, by transplanting the abilities of Jugo, who already possessed the Sage Body constitution. The copy achieved Sage Mode through the cursed seal, hence the name "Cursed Seal Transformation."
Moreover, the effects of the Cursed Seal transformation, which I have researched, are similar to the Sage Mode cultivated in the three great sage lands. Both can significantly increase the amount of chakra, power, and speed, thereby multiplying these abilities.
However, the cursed seal transformation is ultimately not the orthodox Sage Transformation. Compared to the normal Sage Mode, its disadvantages are that it cannot actively absorb natural energy through its own will and is difficult to control precisely.
If a user remains in the cursed seal state for an extended period, they may become unable to suppress the cursed seal within their body, leading to uncontrolled power, ultimately resulting in a berserk state and loss of self-awareness.
Sasuke was somewhat surprised to see Boruto display the characteristics of Sage Mode. He hadn't expected Boruto to have mastered a similar "cursed seal" ability during this period. Sasuke then put away his initial contempt for Boruto.
Sasuke, flying through the air, surveyed the entire battle. After his analysis, he said, "Boruto, that strange Body Flicker Technique you just used must have required a medium, right? If I'm not mistaken, that so-called medium was the shuriken you threw earlier."
Sasuke continued, "Because those shuriken you threw all had unique markings on them, I only needed to pay attention to the location of these markings to prepare in advance and guard against your surprise attack."
As Sasuke explained his ideas, he used the rapid rotation of his Sharingan to quickly memorize the positions of all the shuriken in the field.
The moment Boruto teleported in front of him, Sasuke discovered that his Sharingan had completely failed to detect Boruto's movement, indicating that Boruto was using a technique far beyond the ordinary Body Flicker Technique.
"Even if you already know, so what? I never intended to hide it in the first place."
Boruto simply smiled and said that he already had a plan.
"Immortal Technique·Wind Escapes Sand Ai!"
Boruto quickly gathered chakra in his mouth and then released a powerful wind release, stirring up the sand and dust on the ground, instantly enveloping the entire area in sand and dust.
Sasuke, who was flying in the air, was also affected by the dust. He half-closed his eyes and shielded his eyes with his hand, trying to reduce the interference of the sand and dust.
His "wings" flapped rapidly on his back, trying to disperse the sand and dust, but all to no avail.
Amidst the swirling sandstorm, Sasuke suddenly heard a series of whistling sounds. He became alert, knowing that Boruto had once again used the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.
Sasuke wielded the Kusanagi sword, using the whooshing sounds of air being cut to deflect the incoming shuriken one by one. However, the sheer number of shuriken was overwhelming, and Sasuke began to feel somewhat overwhelmed.
Sasuke tried to fly away from the dusty area, but during the flight, his "wings" were unfortunately hit by a dense barrage of shuriken shadows, causing his movements to become sluggish.
Despite the billowing smoke and dust, it had no effect on Boruto's powerful sensory abilities in Sage Mode. He immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Technique using the Flying Thunder God mark on his shuriken.
Sasuke was struggling to stay upright when suddenly he felt a tremendous force strike him from behind, knocking him off the sky and slamming him heavily to the ground.
As the sandstorm gradually dissipated, Sasuke was now pinned to the ground by Boruto, unable to move.
Boruto smiled and said to Sasuke, "Sorry, Sasuke, I won again this time." Then, Boruto loosened his grip on Sasuke's hand, stepped away from him, and stood up.
Sasuke slowly stood up from the ground with a gloomy expression. He didn't even bother to brush the dust off his clothes, and his face showed obvious resentment.
Orochimaru witnessed the end of the battle, stepped forward, and expressed his appreciation to Boruto: "I didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly."
Orochimaru was secretly alarmed. He realized that even if he were to fight Boruto, he might not be able to gain the upper hand. He then asked Boruto, "What is the purpose of your visit here?"
Boruto hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming here. He took the two items out of the bag on his back and handed them to Orochimaru.
"Help me take a look at these two things."
Orochimaru's gaze fell on the limb-like object in Boruto's hand, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Boruto slowly explained to Orochimaru, "I obtained these two items from a member of the Akatsuki organization. He was black and white."
"You must be referring to Zetsu, codenamed Genbu within the organization, right?" Orochimaru immediately connected Boruto's description to that incredibly strange member of the Akatsuki organization, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.
Boruto noticed the change in Orochimaru's expression and understood his thoughts, so he continued, "That guy has a close connection with Kaguya Otsutsuki."
Upon hearing Boruto's words, Orochimaru immediately dropped his previous expression of disgust, regained his calm demeanor, took the item Boruto offered, and said indifferently, "Ahem... Since it was you who asked me to do this, I'll help you this time."
Orochimaru had learned about the name and related information of the Otsutsuki clan from Sasuke, who had traveled from another world, so he was still very interested.
Boruto then looked around and asked Orochimaru, "Why don't I see Kabuto Yakushi?" Normally, Kabuto Yakushi would be next to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru said to Boruto with a hint of amusement, "Kabuto is currently training in Sage Mode at Ryuchi Cave. What? Do you want to go and take a look? Ryuchi Cave isn't as easy to talk to as Mount Myōboku."
Boruto thought for a moment. Now that he had learned the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, he wasn't that interested in the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave, but he figured it wouldn't hurt to go to Ryūchi Cave.
