I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball-Chapter 366: The Great Sage Nagasawa

"Hmm... the fundamental difference in the Sage Modes of the major sacred places lies here..." After simulating Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode to Sage-level using points, Nagasawa suddenly had an epiphany upon returning to reality.

He had already realized to some extent when he upgraded Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode to Great Sage-level. However, it was only after simulating Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode to the Sage Level and combined it with all of his knowledge that he truly grasped the essence of all three Sage Modes.

Apparently, the natural energy could be further divided. While it might not have distinct differences like Nature Types, it still had its differences.

For instance, Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode primarily absorbed water-based natural energy, which was then processed with Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode.

Shikkotsu Forest, on the other hand, focused on wood-based natural energy.

It was worth noting that the terms "water-based" and "wood-based" natural energy wasn't similar to Water Release or Wood Release. The water-based simply represented natural energy of water like lakes, rivers, and seas, while wood-based represented forests and trees.

As for Ryuchi Cave, Nagasawa felt a sense of chaos. Unlike Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest, it absorbed natural energy of all properties, processed it through Ryuchi Cave's unique methods, and evolved the user into a higher life form, the "Dragon Transformation."

Now, Nagasawa had a thorough understanding of the Sage Modes. The core was the appropriate natural energy and a compatible method of absorption and refinement.

Unfortunately, the three Great Sages were beasts, and their Sage Mode was meant to be used by their respective kin. While humans could use them, the process was extremely arduous. On top of that, you might turn into a toad if you made a mistaken when learning Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode, or turn into a snake if you couldn't withstand the Senjutsu Chakra that White Snake Sage injected to your body. In short, your body might undergo strange transformation upon learning it, so Nagasawa didn't want to practice any of those Sage Modes and chose to create his own.

Humans wouldn't be able to exert their true power if they relied on Sage Modes created by other races. To achieve that, they should create their own Sage Mode!

Despite comprehending the mysteries of the Sage Modes, Nagasawa felt he might still fall short compared to the three Great Sages. Nevertheless, he had a shortcut—system upgrades, which had brought two of the Sage Modes he learned to Great Sage-level.

Nagasawa glanced at his points. After upgrading Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode to Sage-level, he only had 300,000 points left. It took him about four months to accumulate this many points. Initially, he intended to allocate points to the upcoming new template, but the Prosperity didn't increase that much. In the last four months, he only gained 80 points, and it got so much harder to increase the Prosperity.

Nagasawa couldn't do anything as it made sense if it would only get harder to increase the Prosperity. He estimated that the Prosperity would increase by quite a lot in two months as Academy's graduation was in two months. After that, the speed would gradually slow down, then increase again after about six months.

Nagasawa had already figured out this pattern, so he decided to use the points to develop his Sage Mode. But the system required couldn't create something out of nothing, so he ought to have a basic.

Nagasawa took a piece of paper and began thinking based on all of his knowledge about Sage Modes.

"If it were me, what kind of Sage Mode would I create?" Nagasawa asked himself.

The three Sage Regions each had their unique characteristics—Ryuchi Cave's Inorganic Regeneration, Shikkotsu Forest's powerful healing abilities, Mount Myoboku also had various Toad Techniques.

"How should I create a Sage Mode for human?" Nagasawa pondered, jotting down many ideas only to cross them out.

"No, I refuse to give up. I can actually develop it based on my own abilities," Nagasawa suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Various ideas kept flowing in, and Nagasawa felt as if he had another epiphany.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

"I should use Breathing Styles as the basis, so different Breathing Styles will result in different Sage Modes. Use Breathing Styles to absorb natural energy to mould Senjutsu Chakra, removing sword as the main medium for Breathing Styles..."

"Water Breathing uses water-based natural energy, fire-based natural energy for Flame Breathing..."

At this moment, a new ability appeared on Nagasawa's panel, indicating a new set of abilities.

[Breathing Style Sage Mode (Incomplete)]

"Well, 'Breathing Style' isn't exactly a great name." Nagasawa looked at the newly added ability on the template and rubbed his chin. He had qualms with the name chosen by the system.

"In any case, I'll have the naming rights when I teach it to others." Nagasawa gave up on trying to argue with the system.

Although he felt that naming it Nagasawa Style Sage Mode would sound much cooler than Breathing Style Sage Mode, he decided to let it slide for now.

Nagasawa attempted to allocate points to it and found no issues. He directly invested 270,000 points into the incomplete Sage Mode.

He was back in the familiar white space once again. In this empty space, Nagasawa couldn't even sense the flow of time. All he could feel was the influx of knowledge entering his mind, causing Breathing Style Sage Mode to become a feasible Sage Mode.

After Nagasawa spent his points, new abilities were displayed on Nagasawa's panel.

[You have comprehended the Breathing Style Sage Mode and cultivated it into the Sun Breathing Sage Mode.]

[You have comprehended the Breathing Style Sage Mode and cultivated it into the Water Breathing Sage Mode.]

[You have comprehended the Breathing Style Sage Mode and cultivated it into the Stone Breathing Sage Mode.]

[You have comprehended the Breathing Style Sage Mode and cultivated it into the Wind Breathing Sage Mode.]

At this moment, Nagasawa has gained numerous Sage Modes corresponding to different natural energy attributes.
