Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

["There's no such thing as impossible, only insufficient talent."]

["Master the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave and earn the recognition of the White Snake Sage."]

[Reward: Reverse Scale of the Dragon (Enhances the power of Senjutsu chakra in Sage Mode).]

Sasuke was just about to refute the White Snake Sage's judgment.

However, the next second, the system gave Sasuke a surprise.

'If the system issues a mission, it seems this trip to Ryūchi Cave wasn't in vain after all.'

At that moment, the White Snake Sage looked at Sasuke with a hint of regret.

In her opinion, Sasuke was indeed a very talented human, and mastering the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave shouldn't pose much of a problem.

However, his talent was astonishingly overwhelming, even possessing an innate Sage Body constitution.

As a result, mastering Sage Mode became impossible a regrettable irony.

"White Snake Sage, you mentioned… a conflict between subjective consciousness and bodily instincts?"

"I don't think there's any conflict between my consciousness and my body's instincts. Even if there is, I can overcome it with sheer willpower!"

Sasuke spoke earnestly, his tone firm.

After hearing Sasuke's words, the White Snake Sage remained silent, but the three Snake Princesses nearby suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha! This little brat is dreaming!"

"He actually thinks his willpower can override his instincts. Kid, let me ask you: can you stop breathing and hold your breath to the point of suffocation just by standing still?"

Ichikishimahime Divine Princess questioned Sasuke.

This question made Sasuke begin to understand what was meant by the so-called conflict between willpower and instincts.

Perhaps it's possible to hold one's breath to the point of suffocation underwater.

But if you're standing still and just holding your breath, no one can manage to suffocate themselves this way!

The moment you lose consciousness, your body's instincts will resume breathing.

So, it's simply… impossible.

Claiming that willpower can override instincts does seem somewhat laughable.

But!

Sasuke's Sage Transformation isn't innate it's achieved through the Curse Mark.

If he consciously chooses not to activate the Curse Mark, he won't undergo Sage Transformation.

The Curse Mark helps Sasuke suppress his instincts.

Thus, mastering Sage Mode shouldn't be too difficult for him!

"What you're describing I can't do it. But… I still want to try!"

"Let me try; you won't lose anything anyway!"

That was true.

The White Snake Sage thought for a moment. "Fine. Since you're so determined, I'll let you try."

"But let me warn you: if you learn Sage Mode using the methods of Ryūchi Cave and lose control of Senjutsu chakra midway, you might, at best, turn into a snake!"

"At worst, you'll die outright, and your body will turn to stone!"

"Even your special constitution won't stop these changes."

As she spoke, a sinister glint appeared in the White Snake Sage's eyes.

The three Snake Princesses noticed it, looking puzzled. What was the White Snake Sage plotting?

Why agree to something so meaningless? If this kid really attempts to learn the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave, he'll probably end up dead.

"Fine!"

"I understand. Tell me what to do now!"

Hearing this, the White Snake Sage smiled and nodded.

"It's simple. I will inject natural energy into your body using the Ryūchi Cave method. Whether you can control it and refine it into Senjutsu chakra depends entirely on you."

"If you're ready, we'll begin right away."

True to form, Sasuke appreciated the straightforwardness no wasted time.

"Let's do this!"

The next second, the White Snake Sage suddenly made her move.

Opening her giant mouth, she struck at Sasuke's neck like lightning.

Sasuke froze momentarily, just about to counterattack.

But in the next instant, a strange energy surged into his body.

The moment it entered, it went berserk, rampaging through his body.

Sasuke's expression darkened.

The White Snake Sage released him and stood up slowly. "This is the Ryūchi Cave training method. I've already injected natural energy into your body!"

"Whether you can control this power is up to you."

"Good luck, kid!"

With that, Sasuke began to close his eyes, focusing entirely on controlling the natural energy within him a challenging feat.

Sasuke became so absorbed that he couldn't hear a word of what the White Snake Sage was saying.

Meanwhile, the three Snake Princesses began questioning her.

"Why waste time on this human brat?"

"It's obvious he can't succeed!"

Hearing their question, the White Snake Sage chuckled.

"Of course, he won't succeed. Willpower can never suppress bodily instincts."

"But in the end, he should just transform into a snake!"

At this point, the three Snake Princesses suddenly realized something they seemed to understand what the White Snake Sage was planning.

The reason why the White Snake Sage agreed to such a seemingly pointless task was that she intended to turn Sasuke into one of the snakes of Ryūchi Cave.

And not just any snake, but one born with innate Sage Transformation a semi-complete Sage Body constitution.

This meant that Sasuke would become an extraordinarily powerful snake in Ryūchi Cave.

…

The White Snake Sage intended for Sasuke to remain in Ryūchi Cave forever.

Realizing this, the three Snake Princesses broke into smiles.

"As expected, the Sage is forward-thinking. It seems Ryūchi Cave is about to welcome a new member, and one with immense potential at that!"

Hearing this, the White Snake Sage also smiled.

With such a powerful addition to Ryūchi Cave, Sasuke's natural affinity for Sage Transformation could elevate Ryūchi Cave's overall strength, perhaps even surpassing Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest.

The White Snake Sage chuckled as she imagined the arrival of a new snake and how she would greet this new life.

Humans who transformed into snakes would lose all their prior memories.

However, in the next moment, Sasuke's fluctuating expression began to stabilize.

Simultaneously, a strange energy wave started to erupt.

Suddenly, natural energy from the surroundings surged violently, pouring into Sasuke's body at an incredible speed.

The natural energy was visibly being absorbed by Sasuke at a rate that shocked both the three Snake Princesses and the White Snake Sage.

"Th-this… what's going on?"

Even the White Snake Sage was stunned.

By all logic, Sasuke's body should have begun transforming rapidly, shifting from a human to a snake.

But instead… this happened.

The frenzied absorption of natural energy, paired with a body that showed no signs of transformation this was unmistakably the mark of someone mastering Sage Mode!
