Other World Chimera
Fashion wise

“Eh!? You don't have any questions? Doubts?” Kumoki has trouble dealing with Tomoka. His instincts told him that he was dealing with an ancient and powerful being while Tomoka acted so indifferently and cheerfully. That difference made it difficult to know how to act in front of the girl.

“Not really, I already know what sage fashion is even though I had to ask about this experiment just to be polite. So, can you tell me about that? Tomoka smiled slightly at Kumoki.

“B-right, the trial is actually part of how you will learn to use sage mode. I have to clarify that each of us beast clan handles sage mode differently, although I guess you already know about this. Actually Tomoka did not know about this happy news.

“I actually don't. I'd like to know, can you give me some examples? According to Tomoka, sage fashion is always the same. Collect natural energy, mix in the appropriate ratio and mode bam sage. Now he just found out that this might not be the case.

"Do you know about the frog, snail, and snake clans?"

"I'm ready." Tomoka said with a slight nod.

“Alright then this makes things easier to explain. The frog clan uses the simplest, safest, and most inefficient way to enter the wise mode. They meditate to feel the natural energy around them, absorb it and mix it up. The problem with this method is -” Suddenly Kumoki is interrupted by the girl in front of him.

“That's duration. One cannot meditate while moving therefore it is only the natural energy that you gathered beforehand that you will get. This can be offset by having a second entity connected to the first. In this way one gathers and mixes natural energy while the other fights. I know this one, that's what I knew before.

"You're right. I will then talk about the next one is the snail clan. Their methods are similar to frogs but different. In the same way they meditate and gather natural energy but instead of directly mixing it, they store it in an external container. This method increases duration but is a little more dangerous as it allows to mess up the mixing process.”

Hearing this, Tomoka realized a little something. The strength of a thousand Tsunade seals was probably based on this method. It was likely that Tsunade could not sense the natural energy or not care. Instead he applied a storage method to store his own surplus chakra.

It also explains Orochimaru's incomplete sage mode. He must have made his own pseudo-sage mode using Yugo's cells. The problem was that his method resulted in a permanent, low-power sage mode.

“Finally our method. It is actually a combination of the snake method and the snail method. This is our experiment. I would stuff that person into a cocoon made of special silk mixed with natural energy. Inside the person will experience metamorphosis.

Like the snake method, one's body will be modified and become closer to our own kind. They would also have a set of inscriptions made on their bodies, these inscriptions served as an external storage unit of the excess natural energy absorbed by the body.

I will go on and say that our method is the method with the best and strongest results when it works. However, its death rate is much higher than the other three methods combined.” At this point Kumoki was feeling a little nervous. The last time someone made it through their ordeal was over three hundred years ago.

“So yeah.. Well, no one dared, nothing got. Give me a minute and I'll get ready for trial” Say this Tomoka started taking off her clothes. His instincts told him that not only would they get in the way but they would also be destroyed.

Seeing this Kumoki speechless, he did not know what to say or even think. Is this girl so confident? Or is he just an idiot? At this point it doesn't really matter.

"Well, are you ready?" This will be Tomoka's last chance to step down.

"Right, I need to do one last thing just in case" After saying this, Tomoka closed her eyes for a few seconds. When he opened it, he smiled.

"All right, I'm ready."
