Scales left behind when White Snake Sage shed its skin?
Orochimaru's eyes flickered for a moment, not trying to hide it, staring straight at Tagorihime's palm.
Such huge and pure natural energy is extremely attractive to Orochimaru, who is currently practicing White Snake style Sage Arts.
He even had the urge to snatch that scale, not wanting it to stay in the Snake Princess's hand for a moment.
Holding the White Snake scale in her hand, Tagorihime smiled when she saw Orochimaru's expression, not minding it, because she was also very reluctant to part with it.
For thousands of years, White Snake Sage has peeled off its body like an onion, shedding its skin hundreds of times, but not every time does it leave behind white scales. The number is only about two handfuls.
Most of the time, when the snake skin is shed, the out-of-control natural energy will naturally turn it to stone.
In the past three hundred years, as the natural energy in White Snake Sage's body has become more and more concentrated, the shedding process has become more difficult. Not all snake skins can be easily shed, and some parts even show signs of sticking.
White Snake scales are byproducts of dealing with this phenomenon.
It is useless to White Snake Sage. If it is not removed, it is not only unattractive, but it will also affect the growth of new snake skin and hinder the next shedding. But this thing is undoubtedly a rare treasure for other beings who practice White Snake style Sage Arts.
Due to differences in perception and aesthetics, Orochimaru didn't treat this scale like human dead skin when he saw it. He just felt that with this thing, even if he left Ryuuchi Cave, practicing Sage Arts would be twice as effective.
White Snake Sage saw Orochimaru's covetous face, didn't show any dislike, and nodded slightly, "You have a way to change your body using natural energy. With it, you can save a lot of effort."
"Thank you for your kindness, Sage."
Orochimaru took the white scale from Tagorihime's hand, put it away carefully, and said slowly, "I wonder what you want me to do, since you have given me so many conveniences?"
This was a deliberate question. White Snake Sage wants First Hokage cells to gain power and transform, and Orochimaru knows it.
But he doesn't know when this can be done, and if he can't do it, he will always owe White Snake Sage a debt.
Orochimaru doesn't care about owing a debt itself, but he cares that it will be inconvenient to get things from White Snake Sage in the future.
So, the goal of the transaction between the two sides cannot be glossed over or blurred. It must be clarified.
You, White Snake Sage, want me to help you transform. Is this enough? You need to add money... If not, then you need to say a goal that will not exceed these rewards.
Breaking down an impossible or difficult task into several small steps, and using the results of each step to trick people into investing... Orochimaru is already very used to this kind of thing.
"..."
Hearing Orochimaru's question, White Snake Sage took a puff of his pipe, thought for a while, and said slowly, "The thing I want you to do is not difficult. It's just to do this kind of surgery again on a gray giant snake. However, this time, you cannot rely on my power."
White Snake Sage saw it very accurately. The reason why the gray giant snake died suddenly was because the natural energy in its body went out of control.
And this is also the threat she may face.
If this thing cannot absorb natural energy, then with her physical strength, she can easily suppress it.
"This... okay."
Orochimaru was surprised by White Snake Sage's vision, and couldn't help but lick his lips. He couldn't think of a suitable reason for a while, and could only nod in agreement under the other party's gaze.
But he wasn't completely helpless. From perfect fusion at the cellular level, to partial cellular fusion... just keep lowering the quality of the First Hokage cells fusion fluid.
Compared to requiring technological improvement, this kind of thing is easier. Anyway, it only reflects on the individual as a smaller increase and requires some time to develop.
Seriously, if Uchiha Jinsuke continues to develop, constantly strengthening his body, it is possible to reach Yamato's Wood Release level.
Didn't reach it? ... This definitely has nothing to do with his surgery. It's a matter of personal effort. It's because he himself is not motivated.
The same reason can also be applied to the gray giant snake.
White Snake Sage didn't know the trickery involved. Seeing Orochimaru agree, he picked up his pipe and returned to his old grandma appearance, sitting back on the soft cushion in the center of the seat.
Orochimaru sat in place and meditated for a quarter of an hour, re-accumulating the Sage Arts Chakra in his body to the limit, and then turned and walked towards Tagorihime.
Orochimaru was very curious about the Sage Arts that the three Snake Princesses had inserted into Manda's body before. This art that can control their power is a very valuable research method, not to mention the combat aspect.
If he can learn it, he can do even more things with experimental subjects in the future.
Tagorihime didn't reject helping Orochimaru. Now that the other party has left his mark on the summoning scroll, and has White Snake Sage as his backing, the two sides will have more and more dealings in the future. She naturally doesn't want to be on bad terms with him at this time.
Moreover, as the oldest Snake Princess, she doesn't have White Snake Sage's temper, and is really tired of staying in Ryuuchi Cave.
Under Tagorihime's explanation, Orochimaru quickly gained a clear understanding of that Sage Arts.
"Shape-Shifting Body," is the name of the Sage Arts, and it is also the art that they have summed up through experience after countless molts.
It can be said that without this Sage Arts, the three Snake Princesses would not be in their current human form, and would probably still be counted as snakes.
The ability is very powerful, but precisely because of this, it cannot be used directly like "Inorganic Reincarnation."
The reason is that this art not only controls the external appearance, but also affects the internal changes more.
Whether it's White Snake Sage or the three Snake Princesses, they are essentially snakes, no matter how human-like the latter look on the surface.
In other words, this Sage Arts needs to be improved.
After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru took out paper and pen from the scroll, wrote the four characters "Shape-Changing Body", and began to record what Tagorihime said.
The other two Snake Princesses were not willing to be outdone, and also came up. The three snakes started chattering like three hundred ducks.
Orochimaru frowned as he listened.
To be honest, the three Snake Princesses have never been to school after all. Even though they have lived for hundreds of years, they have been trapped in Ryuuchi Cave, so how can you expect them to be logically clear and express themselves concisely?
"Sage Art Shape-Changing Body"... Even though this is a Sage Art that they can skillfully perform, it is actually just the product of accumulated time and experience. They can't say any key points when describing it, and the words they use are more like "I think..."
After writing more than a dozen pages of this large amount of content, Orochimaru felt that he couldn't ask anything more, so he moved his wrist and stopped recording.
Meeting the unfinished eyes of the three Snake Princesses, Orochimaru's face stiffened, and he barely twitched the corners of his mouth,
"Thank you."
