Chapter 124: Letter from an Ancestor
"This... isn't quite appropriate, is it?" Shizune hesitated, but Tsunade pulled her down to sit beside her without allowing refusal, simultaneously handing her a bowl and chopsticks.
"Don't be reserved. Lord Hokage told you to sit and eat, so sit and eat," Tsunade said.
Although it was broad daylight, Uchiha Douhuan and Tsunade drank and chatted in the Hokage office until the afternoon. Finally, Tsunade relented, expressing her willingness to serve as the Dean of the Konoha Medical Academy and signing her name on the proposal.
After Uchiha Douhuan saw this formidable woman off, he finally returned to handling official duties.
Only in the evening did Uchiha Douhuan return home.
After returning home, Uchiha Douhuan activated Sage Mode. Confirming that Black Zetsu wasn't peeping nearby, he then opened the scroll Lady Katsuyu had given him.
Subsequently, Uchiha Douhuan infused Mangekyou Sharingan pupil power and Sage Art chakra respectively into the two seals within the scroll.
Once the seals were broken, the chaotic text on the scroll began to rearrange itself, soon becoming clear ninja world script:
[Descendant of the Uchiha clan, greetings. By the time you receive and open this scroll from Lady Katsuyu, you must have already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and also learned Sage Mode.]
[As your ancestor, firstly, I express my condolences for the important person you lost to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, because I too have felt the same.]
[Additionally, I must remind you not to drown in power. The path you and I have chosen is fraught with danger. Only by maintaining absolute calmness is there a glimmer of hope for survival. This is also why I did not leave the complete inheritance within the clan. Most people in the clan blindly pursue power; I hope you will not be like them.]
"This ancestor is quite interesting," Uchiha Douhuan couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing the ancestor's opening admonition on the scroll. The words spoken by this ancestor of his were not very Uchiha-like at all.
[You sought out this scroll, so I assume you have noticed the problem of blindness caused by overusing the Mangekyou Sharingan. Simultaneously, having cultivated Sage Mode, you should have also discovered that natural energy can slowly repair the Mangekyou Sharingan damaged by pupil power consumption.]
[You might want to ask: can natural energy completely restore the Mangekyou?]
[Regrettably, it cannot. To use an analogy, the Mangekyou Sharingan is like a mirror. With use, cracks begin to appear on the mirror. The method recorded on the stone tablet enshrined in the clan shrine for advancing the Mangekyou Sharingan can be understood as using pupil power of a similar origin as a furnace to reforge the damaged mirror, making it stronger. Natural energy can only act as an adhesive, merely delaying the time until the mirror completely shatters.]
[However, don't be anxious. There is indeed a way to use natural energy to advance the Mangekyou. But, the requirements are quite demanding. I don't know which of the Three Great Sage Regions you learned your Sage Art from. Although the Sage Modes of the Three Great Sage Regions are powerful, ultimately, when the three Sages created them, they were based on the body structures of slugs, toads, and snakes. This is why, even when perfected, the Sage Modes of the Three Great Sage Regions leave non-human traces on the body.]
[And the ultimate key to advancing the Mangekyou Sharingan with natural energy is: Sage Art perfectly suited for the human body.]
[Although the ratio of natural energy, physical energy, and spiritual energy in the Sage Modes of the Three Great Sage Regions is 1:1:1, the natural energy component in their Sage Modes contains an element that modifies the human body. This is why, after completing training in the Sage Modes of the Three Great Sage Regions, the body will exhibit varying degrees of mutation. And when trying to use natural energy to advance the Sharingan, this modifying component of natural energy actually has a counter-effect. Therefore, only a Sage Mode perfectly adapted to the human body can achieve this step.]
[Descendant, your luck is quite good. I have already completed this step. The cultivation method for the Human Sage Mode will be written at the end of the scroll. However, I must remind you: if your Mangekyou does not possess a pupil technique capable of reversing its own state, like mine, you only have one chance to try.]
[The most suitable ratio for human Sage Art chakra—physical energy, spiritual energy, and natural energy—is an extremely subtle proportion. I cannot describe the specific data either. However, I have sealed a sample of perfect human Sage Art chakra within this scroll. But, you must proceed with extreme caution when attempting it. Once the Sage Art chakra synthesized under this ratio loses balance, even Mount Myoboku's black rods and Lady Katsuyu's special mucus cannot expel the natural energy within the body. Back then, I too used my pupil technique to make countless attempts before finding that balance point, just before my pupil power was exhausted.]
[As your ancestor, I actually do not wish for the clan's descendants to attempt such a dangerous method of obtaining power. However, if you need this power to protect what you cherish, then I can only bless you with ultimate success.]
[Additionally, I have also sealed a portion of my pupil technique within this chakra crystal using a Transcription Seal. If you fail, this pupil power will rewind your body's state back to before you attempted to synthesize the Sage Art chakra. This is why I said you only have one chance.]
Following this text was a long description of the method for cultivating the exclusive Human Sage Mode, along with a crystal storing a sample of special Sage Art chakra.
After Uchiha Douhuan carefully read the cultivation method, he picked up the crystal.
As soon as the chakra crystal was in his hand, Uchiha Douhuan, in Sage Mode, keenly detected the peculiarity of this Sage Art chakra.
Compared to the 1:1:1 synthesis model of the Three Great Sage Regions, this chakra was very special. The ratio of physical energy to spiritual energy was a very specific proportion, and the ratio of spiritual energy to natural energy was the same proportion.
"This ratio is...? The Golden Ratio?" Uchiha Douhuan roughly sensed the specific numbers of this ratio, then suddenly realized: the ratio of the three energies in this Sage Art chakra was precisely the 1:0.618 heralded as the Golden Ratio in his past life.
"No wonder the synthesis difficulty is so high," Uchiha Douhuan facepalmed. Compared to the precise numerical ratios of the Three Great Sage Regions, the ratio for this special Sage Art chakra was an infinite non-repeating decimal, requiring reliance on feel to grasp the subtle balance during synthesis.
