Chapter 342 The White Snake Sage's Trial, Sasuke Achieves Immortality
"Uh……"
Seeing Sasuke's smug look, as if the sun had come out and the rain had stopped, Ishikawa couldn't help but twitch his lips and his face full of black lines.
Who would this guy be around here?
"Oh? You've already come to your senses?" Over here, seeing that Sasuke's mind was made up, the White Snake Sage's eyes lit up and his mouth watered.
A Kaleidoscope-wielding Uchiha boy—such a trial participant must be delicious!
The next instant, before Naruto Ishikawa could even react, a white blur flashed past Sasuke, who then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as the White Snake Sage bit him.
“Sassy…”
Upon seeing this, Naruto shouted and immediately went to stop her, but as soon as he moved, Tsurugi appeared silently in front of him.
"Kid, don't disturb the White Snake Sage as he infuses his companion with divine magic!"
"Injecting Sage Technique?" Ishikawa murmured to himself, thinking to himself, "As expected, the Sage Technique inheritance methods of Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myōboku are different!"
As if to avoid misunderstanding, the goddess Tianxin smiled and stepped forward to look at the group, "The immortal technique inheritance of Ryuchi Cave is that the White Snake Immortal personally infuses the trial participants with natural energy. If you can pass the test and your body transforms into a snake, you will naturally obtain the power of immortal techniques and become the Snake Immortal of Ryuchi Cave."
"What if we fail?" Naruto asked anxiously, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
"Failure? Failure proves that the trial participant's body cannot transform into a snake to withstand the power of the White Snake Sage. Naturally, the White Snake Sage will also reclaim the Sage Chakra it injected."
"Recycle? What do you mean??" Seeing Ichikishima-hime interrupt, Ishikawa, though he had a guess, was still unsure.
"What do you mean?" The three Snake Princesses exchanged a meaningful glance, then pointed at Sasuke with a mocking smile. "Naturally, it means, eat him!!"
"Eat, eat Sasuke!" Naruto's pupils widened instantly, his eyes widened in horror, and he almost flew into a rage and ran away with Sasuke.
What kind of terrifying inheritance is this? Is it really that scary??
"That's a really simple and straightforward inheritance, no wonder it's Ryuchi Cave. Naruto, you have to trust Sasuke." Ishikawa wasn't too surprised and patted Naruto on the shoulder to comfort him.
Just as the group was talking, Sasuke, whose body had been infused with natural energy by the White Snake Sage, trembled. The Heavenly Curse Seal on his neck was affected by this and instantly erupted, with the curse pattern spreading across half of Sasuke's body.
"This is the cursed seal Orochimaru researched? It's really low-quality natural energy." The White Snake Sage, biting Sasuke, sneered disdainfully, then tightened his fangs again.
"Ughhhhhh!" Sasuke let out a painful groan as the crimson cursed seal patterns rapidly flowed back and were sucked into the White Snake Sage's mouth.
Including the Heavenly Curse Seal and the Evil-Sealing Seal, it was completely absorbed by the White Snake Sage in less than a breath, making Sasuke's nape white and smooth again, erasing the curse seal.
"Human nature is inherently driven by desires, which will eventually lead to a slow descent into darkness. This is an unchangeable aspect of human nature, and also the greatest obstacle to overcoming trials!"
"That's why I put Tsuratsuhime and the others through what I call a test, which is to filter out as many madmen as possible who only pursue power and ignore themselves."
"Although this method is useless against those trial participants with deep-seated obsessions, it will only intensify their obsessions and turn them into even more insane beings!"
"But this is already the best way to prevent the magic power from going berserk and out of control."
"Not just anyone can be chosen by me to be infused with Sage Chakra." The White Snake Sage muttered as he released the snake's mouth, then turned his gaze to Ishikawa.
"Then, would you like to try the magic of Ryuchi Cave? Because I, an old woman, also want to taste the natural energy within you."
Instantly, the White Snake Sage's words made Ishikawa's pupils shrink, his forehead break out in a cold sweat, and he felt a chill run down his spine as if he had been seen through!
Sure enough, he couldn't underestimate this ancient monster who had existed for thousands of years, just like the Great Toad Immortal.
"Hehe, I don't have that idea yet." Ishikawa quickly declined with a smile, instantly giving up his plan to accept the Ryuchi Cave Immortal Technique.
He was initially considering whether to risk trying it out, given his Immortal Curse Seal as a foundation. However, the White Snake Immortal had already demonstrated that the curse seal would first absorb its power, rendering his Immortal Curse Seal ineffective in neutralizing it.
Rather than risk exchanging it for a celestial technique with a negligible increase, he'd rather use the power of the Celestial Seal first!
"White Snake Sage, all I need is the summoning contract from Ryuchi Cave. As for the inheritance of sage techniques? We'll talk about that later, later..." With an embarrassed smile, Ishikawa quickly added while tensing his limbs to guard against a sneak attack from the White Snake Sage.
How come this snake's head, which was so huge, suddenly shrank to about the size of Orochimaru's head? Was it just to make it easier to bite people?
"A psychic contract?" The White Snake Immortal curled his lip in disappointment, his snake head immediately shrinking back into a gigantic snake head as he picked up the pipe that had just fallen.
"Human brat, I'm giving you an exception this time, not so you can come and bargain with me. You want the summoning scroll? Fine, but you have to agree to one condition first."
"What are the conditions?" Ishikawa asked with a sigh of relief, as long as there was something to discuss.
He was afraid that the White Snake Immortal would refuse outright, which would mean his trip to Dragon Land Cave would be a complete failure.
“Deep within the serpent's lair in Ryuchi Cave lies a raging serpent, Xinya, which even I cannot defeat. My condition is that you bring back Xinya's reverse scale to me,” the White Serpent Immortal said calmly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes behind the billowing smoke.
"Shinya?" Ishikawa's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He hadn't expected that Ryuchi Cave would have a giant snake that even the White Snake Sage would find troublesome.
That's perfect, since Manda can't use the Orochimaru tag, he also needs a giant snake that's no less powerful than Manda as his battle summoning beast.
"I agree!" Without a second thought, Ishikawa readily agreed with full confidence.
A berserk Orochi? Even more berserk than a newly evolved Three-Tailed Shukaku??
"Wait, senior brother, look at Sasuke..." Ishikawa was about to ask where the White Snake Sage Shinya was when Naruto's exclamation made him instinctively turn his head to look.
Following Naruto's gaze, Ishikawa's pupils contracted and his scalp tingled!
Sasuke's spiky black hair grew half a meter longer, and two bone-white horns slowly emerged from the sides of his head.
On that fair and handsome face, purple eyeshadow, reminiscent of Orochimaru, extended from his eyes to the sides of his nose. Combined with the scarlet Sharingan pupils, this added a touch of sinister allure to his already striking features…
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that a white phosphorus snake tail slowly emerged from behind Sasuke's buttocks, trembling and swaying.
"Did the snake transformation succeed?"
Almost simultaneously, the White Snake Sage and the three Snake Princesses all turned their heads in surprise, not expecting Sasuke to complete the Snake Sage's first step so quickly.
Genius! This is a Sage Mode genius who surpasses Orochimaru!!
