Chapter 339 Princess Tsuratsu, Sasuke's Test of Heart
Chapter 339 Princess Tsuratsu, Sasuke's Test of Heart
"That won't do. Those who haven't passed the test of the heart are not allowed to see the White Snake Immortal. Although you are very strong, you are no exception!"
Seeing Ishikawa's resolute attitude, the brown-haired girl who had been electrocuted while clinging to his shoulder suddenly spoke, her lightning scattering everywhere. As she spoke, she took a step back, her snake-like eyes flashing with icy coldness.
They actually discovered her attack; this guy is definitely not an ordinary human.
It's important to know that their invisibility ability can fool even those below the level of a Sage's chakra perception.
Was Ishikawa able to sense it in advance because of his X-ray vision?
"A test of the heart??" Ishikawa frowned, not caring that the other party could digest his lightning counterattack so quickly.
As a high-ranking elder under the White Snake Immortal, how could the other party be without some ability!
This test of the heart sounds rather intimidating...
Ishikawa knew that Ryuchi Cave had appeared in Boruto, but his knowledge of Boruto was limited to the time travel arc and some exciting scenes involving the Otsutsuki.
He hadn't seen any of the other minor, lackluster plot points, so he naturally lost his ability to foresee the plot.
"The test of the heart is a prerequisite for accepting the inheritance of Ryuchi Cave's immortal arts. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Tsuratsuhime." Seemingly sensing Ishikawa's doubts, the brown-haired girl explained directly.
"Because the magic of Ryuchi Cave is different from that of other places, one must have a certain amount of perseverance, determination, and absolute self-awareness to obtain it."
"The White Snake Immortal won't waste his time on those who fail the test. And even if he were to take pity on them and give them a chance, the chances of success would probably be no more than one percent..."
At this point, Tsuratsu Hime's face lengthened, revealing her fangs. "Of course, those who fail the test will be eaten by me! You might be able to escape, but your companions may not be so lucky."
"Them? You can try all you want..." Ishikawa pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Jugo was right beside him. Naruto and Sasuke were the main characters, and with the old man of the Six Paths backing them up, they had nothing to fear.
After all, this is Shippuden: The Prequel, not Boruto!
Without giving Princess Tsutsu a chance to get angry, Ishikawa's gaze sharpened and his voice was firm: "I don't need the Sage Techniques inheritance from Ryuchi Cave for now. Do I still need to test the Summoning Contract?"
The probability of success, whether it's one percent or one tenth, is not a problem for him.
The question is how to go back and touch the doorknob while receiving the inheritance; that's the foolproof, 100% foolproof way.
So, the inheritance of immortal techniques in Ryuchi Cave will be discussed after he learns the Flying Thunder God Technique!
"Tch, another Orochimaru?" Tsuratsuhime shook her head in disappointment, then ignored Ishikawa's figure as it turned transparent and disappeared again.
"Hehehe, it seems you're quite interesting. I can see your thirst for power, yet you suppress your impulses and don't let desire cloud your judgment. If it were you, perhaps the White Snake Immortal would actually make an exception and see you."
Princess Ichikishima floated in mid-air with a smile, and then her body, like Princess Tsurugi, turned transparent and disappeared!
"Ishikawa, what do we do now? Should we go save Naruto and Sasuke?" Jugo turned around and asked, a little worried about Naruto and Sasuke outside.
"Don't worry, those two guys aren't going to have any accidents." Ishikawa waved his hand dismissively and stepped out of the cave.
With the Nine-Tails and the cursed seal, how could Naruto and Sasuke possibly encounter any accidents!
"what……"
Just as Ishikawa activated his red eyes to search for Naruto and Sasuke, Sasuke's screams suddenly reached his ears.
"What is that?" With his left eye contracting, Ishikawa saw Sasuke, who had passed the Tetris test, being bitten on the neck by Tsurugi-hime, his body temperature rapidly rising as if he had a fever and turning red on the spot.
As for Naruto?
Well, that guy was still scratching his head in front of a pile of crystals in the enclosed cave, continuing to tackle the problem.
"Why? Why did you have to kill that guy and wipe out our entire clan?"
"All the testing equipment is just an excuse; you just want to collect Sharingan eyes."
"It's because you want my eyes, isn't it? You want to become the second him, so you used this cruel method to make me grow up, to make me seek revenge with hatred and eyes just like yours!"
"But, but why are you so heartless as to even harm innocent elderly people and children..."
"You slaughter the defenseless elderly, women, and children just to satisfy your own ambition! Hah, is this what you call magnanimity?"
"Tell me, Uchiha Itachi!!"
Just as Ishikawa strode up to Sasuke, he heard Sasuke roar repeatedly, then stare at him with murderous intent and hatred.
[So, they're treating me like Itachi Uchiha! Facing the darkness within my own heart, so this is it. Is this the test of the heart?]
Ishikawa saw Sasuke break free of his restraints and was ready to strike, and he instantly understood. Just as he was about to go up and wake him up, a thought suddenly struck him.
"Sasuke, you..." Jugo, who was standing next to him, also tensed up when he saw this and was about to go over, but Ishikawa stopped him.
"You're here too? Perfect, I'll avenge everyone right here today! Although I'll most likely be killed by you, I'm no longer that ugly fledgling who only knew how to run away." Almost the instant Jugo finished speaking, Sasuke seemed to see his mortal enemy finally erupt.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The Thousand Birds, crackling with electric arcs, burst forth in an instant, and the pair of scarlet Sharingan with their three tomoe marks captured Ishikawa Jugo as he accelerated forward.
"He's in my hands now, get him ready for treatment." Ishikawa's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he prepared to do something ruthless to surprise Sasuke!
In the next instant, Ishikawa appeared beside Sasuke like lightning, grabbing his wrist to stop Chidori.
"My foolish brother, have you finally figured it out?"
"But so what if you know I want your eyes? I am stained with the blood of my clan, and I am naturally on your opposite side."
"As long as you still harbor hatred in your heart, as long as you still want to avenge those scumbags, then no matter what, you can't change the fact that you are my backup eyes."
"But why are you still so weak? You know my plan, yet you're still only at the three-tomoe level. Is it because you harbor some illusion about the perfect older brother I'm playing, without even realizing it?"
"Heh, what a piece of trash! I should never have had any expectations of you, and I shouldn't have agreed to spare your life in front of my parents!"
"Oh right, I think I forgot to tell you. That night, they knelt down and begged me for forgiveness because of you..."
"Mother's tears are so tender, and Father also believes that you will be a genius that the Uchiha clan can be proud of in the future!"
"It's a pity that they didn't expect you to be such a waste. At 13 years old, you're still just a three-tomoe Chunin of Konoha."
"Your eyes might not even qualify as my backup eyes..."
