[SC] Snakes with Detective L

[Jhin]

Push out all distractions, focus only on the environment around you. Remove the sense of yourself as a single organism and become one with the natural world.

As she speaks Pitou withdraws two shuriken and launches them towards Orochimaru the shuriken would race and spin rapidly towards him before veering at the last moment, one slicing off a single hair while the other leaves the shallowest of cuts across his cheek.

Orochimaru could hear his sensei speak. He could clearly hear the sound of the air being cleaved by the unmistakable sound of the approaching shuriken but it was different than usual. It seemed fuzzy like listening to a radio with a weak signal. He could already feel himself detaching from distractions and he assumed this was what his sensei was testing. Feeling the shuriken strike him just barely orochimaru didn't flinch. He felt the warm trickle of blood slide down his cheek but there was no motion no sense of danger. Nothing at all. He was completely at peace he felt as though he was an egg that had cracked and was spilling in to the world around him as though he was becoming part of something infinitely greater.

Very good, now try to extend your awareness to the life around you. The plants and insects. Feel the flow of their energy.

Taking a seat Pitou closes her eyes and relaxes.

This will be the most difficult portion of your training for you must find the flow of this energy and follow its flow.

Orochimaru listened to his sensei once more. It was a strange request. To feel the life energy of the bugs and insects basically the world around him. But he felt oddly confident like no matter how strange that he could achieve it. He felt like he was in tune with something far bigger than himself and so once more he prepared himself focusing on the minute details of the world around him. The way the insects feet scuttled across the surface of the plants. The way the leaves below them vibrated and rattled with each motion. He could almost feel the world around him breathing he could feel it's energy surrounding him. He just had to reach out and take it. No not take it but share it become part of it. He was on the threshold but he abstained awaiting instructions.

Pitou monitored her student through her sensing, watching his progress carefully despite having her eyes closed.

You are doing well but you are still focusing upon yourself minutely. You must make yourself a non-entity. Remove your sense of self and allow the energy to flow around and through you, rather than having to reach out to tap into it.

Pitou paused for a moment, musing over how to properly explain the concept so her student would grasp her meaning.

You must remain still both physically and mentally, become a void in which a bird or insect would pay no more attention to you then a rock.

Orochimaru said nothing nor gave any gesture of understanding but he heeded his senseis instructions nonetheless. No longer focusing he let himself slip in to a state of minimal cognitive function. His mind slipped out of its normal state of egocentric focus. He didn't view himself as a separate entity anymore. He was the world. He was just another piece of the enormous puzzle and he was joining together to form the true picture. Nothing more nothing less. The animals and plants they were the same as him.

Pitou felt Orochimaru's energy stabilize and smirked a bit.

Now that you can sense the energy and allow it to flow without ceasing the next step is to draw it into yourself. Mix it with your spiritual energy and physical energy so that all three are even and balanced.

Pitou stood as she spoke now, walking closer to her student as she needed to watch the next part carefully incase it went wrong.

You must be very careful and methodical with this, draw the energy into yourself slowly and never draw too much in. If you take too much or lose control your body will turn to stone, I was being literal when I mentioned the earlier students. You are surrounded by their failure, it is both a reminder and a warning else another carving will be added to the cave.

Orochimaru almost gulped when he heard this. Being petrified didn't sound like something he could come back from easily even with his enhanced ability to survive and adapt. He would truly have to be very careful. Molding his spiritual and physical energy as he would normally he slows the process focusing on the principles he was taught. Perfect stillness. Calm breathing he began to draw on the natural energy around him as slowly as possible bit by bit he drew it in mixing it with his chakra kneading and tasking it to purpose with as much care and attention as possible.

Pitou nods as the telltale markings darken around Orochimaru's eyes, indicating that he has mixed the natural energy with his chakra correctly and gained balance.

Remember this feeling, for this is how it feels to enter Sage Mode. Jump on down now.

( Sennin Modo ) – Sage Mode

Spoiler

Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra cost: 70 (-15 per turn, adds 350 chakra points)
Damage points: N/A
Description: In the normal Sage Mode, the user, by standing perfectly still in a meditative focus (user must stay still for 1 turn), will draw into him natural energy which he will then blend with their own chakra adding a new dimension of power to it. By doing this, the user gains access to what is called senjutsu chakra. This new chakra allows the user to enter an empowered state called Sage Mode, which then drastically increases the strength of his techniques and his physical prowess (speed, strength, stamina, etc). However, by infusing his body with Jugo's cells Orochimaru was able to mimic his ability to passively gather natural energy at all times, becoming able to enter Sage Mode at any time he wishes without needing to wait one turn to gather the needed natural energy. The Snake sage mode gives different effects and features than its toad counter part. The user gains yellow eyes with a black sclera. They gain further access to snake anatomy, such as their brille, which can be used to block out some light as well as stop visual-based genjutsu from affecting them and their scales, which bestow a rudimentary yet effective protection from minor attacks. They are also able to perform abilities that are characteristic of snakes, such as dislocating their jaw, although this is not exclusive to this mode. Their physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, and durability dramatically increase, with more emphasis on speed, agility and reflexes rather than strength, endurance and raw power. When Sage mode ends the user then experiences physical exhaustion reducing their capabilities the following turn and preventing him from using techniques above A-Rank and Taijutsu above B-Rank. A user can prevent this by using a shadow clone to collect natural energy and dispelling it before or after sage mode ends or by ending sage mode before it times out. While sage mode is active, minor wounds heal slowly as time passes and the user gains the ability to passively sense his surroundings through the natural energy, in a similar but more precise and enhanced way as normal chakra sensing. While Sage Mode is active, the user will take little damage from techniques B-Rank and below and A-Rank and below Taijutsu. Taijutsu gains +15 damage, main elemental affinity gains +20 damage, other elemental ninjutsu gain +10 damage and Genjutsu gains +20 damage.
Note: Sage Mode lasts for a total of 6 turns unless a clone is used
Note: This variation can only be used by Orochimaru bios

Test out your increased strength, speed and perception a bit. Run around, get used to the increased limits on your body. Then we can learn the final technique.

Orochimaru felt incredible. Like there was a whole new.dimension of power flowing through his body. Everything seemed to move slowly around him. As though his reactions and perception had improved. More than that he could feel the world around him perfectly everything was linked to him now. It was amazing and he couldn't wait to test it out. Running back and forth across the cave a few times he jumped and flipped around noticing huge increases to the height he could jump thanks to his strength increase and the great dexterity he was granted. Forming a few small jutsu in his hands he noted how they had become very strong now being at least a rank stronger for his wind techniques.

Now that you have a sense of your new abilities we can attempt to direct them into a jutsu. Use your knowledge of the flow of natural energy and direct the natural energy you have accumulated into a nearby inanimate object, say a rock for example.

Pitou picks up a rock from the floor and holding t in her palm, using it to direct her students attention as she continues.

This is different from normal chakra infusion as you are gifting the rock with a part of your own life force, which makes the possible manipulations of it much faster and more intricate. Give it a shot.

What a unique and interesting concept orochimaru thought to himself. It was almost like the legends of the six paths only not quote as intricate. Extending his raw chakra imbued with senjutsu he would attempt to permeate the rock floor of the ryuchi cave taking control.of it as though it was a living organism. Gifting it with pure chakra and senjutsu orochimaru would feel as though the rock we're apart of himself. Testing this out he began to move this new part of his body causing it to bend and coil around turning from a pillar to a spike and back then several pillars and spikes.

Good, seems like you're a natural.

( Senpō: Muki Tensei ) - Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation

Spoiler

Rank: A
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: This technique allows the user to control things that have no life functions by gifting them with some of their own life force, allowing the user to freely manipulate the substance according to their will. The extent of the user's control goes beyond normal manipulation through chakra, meaning that even drastic alterations to the immediate environment can occur both suddenly and unexpectedly, making attacks using this method extremely difficult to avoid. Intense heat such as that produced by the flames of Amaterasu can counter the effects of this technique, causing affected inorganic materials to revert to their previous state.
Note: Effects of the technique last two turns and can only be used while on Snake Sage Mode.

Andddddddd with that we should be done. Consider your speed training of Sage Mode complete, no one should complain cause I didn't go easy on you.
