This numb and tingly sensation would persist for three days, gradually intensifying. Tsukimi Rin had to maintain a state of perfect concentration to alleviate the pain.
This sensation even caused Uchiha Ling, the main body, to experience phantom feelings. Although Second Body could clearly sense the Second Body's sensations, it was like looking at flowers through a fog.
The main body felt no discomfort. This sensation was profound, and Second Body guessed that she was controlling the split body through a form of telepathy.
"Good thing I didn't directly start the Bloodline Limit gene transformation on myself, otherwise, by the time we reach the Land of Lightning, I might lose my combat ability."
Second Body stood at the bow of the ship, feeling the slightly fishy sea breeze. They had set sail with the Cloud Ninja Genin two days ago and were expected to reach the Land of Lightning's port in half a day.
During this time, the Second Body was handling the Bloodline Limit matters, while she was researching the Yin Seal, aiming to design a Sealing Technique for Sage Art Chakra.
She had also consulted Minato, who had also practiced Sage Mode. However, his Sage Mode was too short, only lasting for a single attack.
It couldn't form any combat effectiveness, making him even weaker than Second Body. But through their discussion, Second Body understood the principle of Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode.
The most challenging aspects of Sage Mode lie in its stillness and movement. Movement requires the Chakra within the body to continuously combine with Natural Energy, maintaining Sage Art Chakra at a specific ratio; otherwise, one will exit Sage Mode.
And stillness is the most crucial part of Sage Mode: absorbing Natural Energy. Natural Energy is too volatile and requires an extremely high level of mental cultivation to calm it.
Most people can only absorb Natural Energy when sitting quietly and thinking of nothing. It is still extremely difficult to continuously absorb Natural Energy while moving or even fighting.
Therefore, the Three Great Sage Locations devised some clever methods: using some of the Sages' bodily fluids to help humans continuously absorb Natural Energy.
This way, one can skip the step of self-absorbing Natural Energy, only needing to maintain a peaceful mind. As long as the Natural Energy is continuously and stably combined with Chakra to form Sage Art Chakra, it will not go out of control.
In fact, the difference in Sage Mode among the Three Great Sage Locations lies in these Sages' bodily fluids. Because their bodily fluids are used to enter Sage Mode, Sage Mode will naturally take on the characteristics of these Sages.
Even if Sage Mode becomes proficient enough in the future not to require these Sages' bodily fluids, the Sage Art Chakra formed by Sage Mode before has already carried the aura or biological information of these Sages.
Their bodies have been modified by this Sage Art Chakra carrying the biological information of the Three Great Sages, just as Tsukimi Rin is now using Bloodline Limit Chakra to change his own genes. The so-called perfect Sage Mode will also resemble the Three Great Sages.
Second Body had previously practiced the state of perfect concentration using Ryūchi Cave's snake saliva. The Sage Art Chakra inadvertently synthesized also carried the aura of Ryūchi Cave's White Snake Sage.
Although it was only snake saliva and not snake venom, it still caused the Sage Art Chakra Second Body now synthesized herself to bear the imprint of Ryūchi Cave. This was even compared to the Sage Art Chakra born from Tsukimi Rin's Stigma Seal.
However, the problem wasn't significant. Second Body's degree of contamination was very shallow, and she had never used this Chakra to enter Sage Mode, so it could still be corrected.
Second Body had already found the key to her Sage Mode: using the mutated cells from Tsukimi Rin's back to construct her own Stigma Seal.
At that time, the Natural Energy absorbed and the Sage Art Chakra synthesized would contain Second Body's own biological information, and the Sage Mode formed would not carry animal characteristics.
This would be Second Body's own Sage Mode in the true sense. Having understood the essence of Sage Mode, Tsukimi Rin could practice more boldly. Once the Second Body was fine, then the main body's use would be absolutely safe.
Regarding the Sealing Technique for Sage Art Chakra, Minato's single sentence directly awakened her, realizing that a Sealing Technique formed by Sage Art Chakra could naturally seal Sage Art Chakra.
Amazing! A true master's single word is worth a thousand books of false teachings, that's probably what it means.
Her Uchiha Ling had indeed fallen into a cognitive bias. By the same logic, a Six Paths Level seal would naturally require Yin-Yang Release to construct the seal.
And Yin-Yang Release is too advanced, so the seal inside the Adamantine Bracelet naturally cannot be observed by ordinary Ninja. Therefore, researching ancient runes is useless, or rather, not very useful.
As long as one possesses Yin-Yang Release, the Sealing Technique used will naturally be Six Paths Level. So, things have returned to the starting point: the strengthening of one's own power.
However, since she now knew how to create a Sealing Technique for Sage Art Chakra, Second Body could start now. The method of constructing a Chakra pool for the Yin Seal was the same; she just needed to use Sage Art Chakra to cast the Sealing Technique for constructing the pool.
With the pool, the Stigma on her back would be a Sage Art Chakra generator in the future, and the pool would be a Sage Art Chakra battery. As long as enough Sage Art Chakra was stored, maintaining Sage Mode for a day would not be a problem.
Since the Second Body was currently enduring the pain of transformation, she would take on the task of designing the Sage Art Chakra Yin Seal pool herself. However, unlike other small pools, this small Sage Art Chakra pool needed to be separated from the large pool.
After all, when she used the Yin Seal, she still had to release Chakra from the large pool, so simultaneously releasing Sage Art Chakra and Chakra would obviously be prone to losing control.
Second Body allocated one-third of the large pool for Sage Art Chakra use, and this one-third could also store Sage Art Chakra.
The Sealing Techniques were already available, but they had to be cast using Sage Art Chakra, and the one-third portion of the large pool that was separated also had to be refined with a Sage Seal.
This was a huge project, mainly because Second Body's main body could only produce a small amount of Sage Art Chakra each time without using snake saliva. It would take a long time to accumulate enough to construct even a small portion of the pool area with a Sage Art Yin Seal.
The top priority was still to first take some of the Second Body's mutated cells to construct the Stigma on the main body. Only then would she have a continuous supply of Sage Art Chakra to use.
Otherwise, constructing the Sage Art Chakra Yin Seal would take an unknown amount of time. However, the Second Body couldn't move now, and the main body didn't have time to construct the Stigma.
She could only refine the details of the Sage Seal herself and try to synthesize Wood Release Chakra and Paper Release Chakra. By the way, Magnet Release Chakra and Ice Release Chakra could also be tried.
Second Body's own Wind Release nature transformation had reached Kage Level, and her Earth Release and Water Release nature transformations were at Elite Jonin level. All three were sufficient to combine in pairs to form new Bloodline Limits.
Wind Release and Water Release could be combined to form Ice Release. The official sources didn't mention Earth Release and Wind Release, but it would either be Magnet Release or Crystal Release.
With the experience gained from the Second Body, Second Body successfully synthesized Wood Release Chakra and Paper Release Chakra in just a moment this time.
