章 82: Chapter 82: White Snake Sage
Ryujiro suddenly paused his steps.
The sage arts of each place actually repelled each other.
This was something Ryujiro had not expected.
However, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Following the lead of Ichikishimahime and Tagorihime, Ryujiro arrived at a grand temple.
Tagorihime slowly said, "Lady White Snake Sage is just beyond this door."
"We will not accompany you any further."
After speaking, the two flew away, and the cave's mist began to spread again.
Ryujiro paid no mind to the departure of the two snake spirits.
He gazed at the towering steps before him, lifted his foot, and slowly walked towards the top of the temple.
In front of the temple was a massive stone door.
"Hm?"
Ryujiro lightly pushed the stone door, but it did not budge.
It turned out that the stone door was also imbued with sage chakra. Ryujiro gathered sage chakra in his hand and easily pushed the door open.
Inside the vast hall, atop a lofty platform, was a massive stone bed. On it lay a gigantic white serpent, her bright white scales particularly eye-catching. She held a long, slender pipe in her mouth.
The serpent took a deep drag and began exhaling clouds of smoke before Ryujiro.
This white serpent was the master of Ryuchi Cave, known as the White Snake Sage.
The White Snake Sage's dark yellow eyes fixed on Ryujiro.
"Just as the old toad said, you actually mastered the perfect Sage Mode."
The White Snake Sage's voice, through the smoke, reached Ryujiro's ears.
Merely a human, yet he could maintain sage chakra even in his normal state.
What a pity.
This young man was not the prophesied savior, his fate was unclear and unfathomable.
In the shinobi world, such a peculiar existence had emerged.
Despite being shocked by Ryujiro's sage chakra in his normal state, the White Snake Sage, having lived for thousands of years, did not let her emotions show.
The rules of Ryuchi Cave required that to learn its Sage Mode, one must pass trials.
But for Ryujiro, those trials were mere child's play.
"White Snake Sage, may I learn the Sage Jutsu of Ryuchi Cave?"
Ryujiro maintained a polite demeanor.
The White Snake Sage looked at Ryujiro, "Of course."
"However."
"The Sage Modes of different regions repel each other. You have already learned the Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku. I don't mind if you want to learn our Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode as well."
"But if the two Sage Modes conflict, causing the natural energy to become unbalanced, you will ultimately turn into a statue due to natural energy erosion."
The White Snake Sage, who admired talent, wanted to see what Ryujiro's future held.
She didn't want such a monstrous genius to fall due to some mishap.
"Thank you for the warning. But I still wish to give it a try."
The White Snake Sage sighed helplessly and said calmly, "Very well then."
Suddenly, the space before Ryujiro began to distort.
Was this...a space-time ninjutsu?
When Ryujiro's vision returned to normal, he was no longer in the hall.
In front of him was a giant snake statue. These statues, like the toad statues at Mount Myoboku, had turned to stone due to natural energy erosion.
In the center of the numerous snake statues, a green scroll floated and shone on a pedestal.
"That is the scroll for training in our Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode."
"This space is specially built by me. Only those who master the Ryuchi Cave's Sage Jutsu can leave this place."
"Good luck."
At this moment, the White Snake Sage, standing beside Ryujiro, had disguised herself as an elderly lady, wearing a white robe, appearing kind and gentle.
After speaking, she gradually disappeared from Ryujiro's sight.
Ryujiro was not surprised. After all, if the three snake princesses could transform into human form, it was expected that the White Snake Sage could as well.
He just hadn't expected her to take the form of an old lady.
Never mind, there's no need to dwell on it. Let's see what's special about Ryuchi Cave's sage arts.
—
At this moment, the White Snake Sage had returned to the hall, reverting to her original form of the white serpent.
She took a deep drag from her pipe.
"Mastering Sage Jutsu in less than a day, could the old toad's words be true?"
"If it's true, then this boy is truly terrifying."
The three snake princesses had arrived in the hall.
"Lady White Snake."
The three snake princesses knelt respectfully.
Ichikishimahime hesitated before looking up and asking, "Lady White Snake, has that human been sent to the sage arts training ground?"
"Yes."
The White Snake Sage responded softly.
"Lady White Snake, isn't this against our rules?"
"It's nearly impossible for a human to master two different Sage Jutsu."
"Besides, that boy is just a human."
Before Ichikishimahime could finish, a tremendous pressure of sage chakra filled the hall.
The suffocating and oppressive feeling made the three snake princesses prostrate themselves, trembling.
The White Snake Sage's cold gaze was fixed on Ichikishimahime.
"Ichikishima, don't get too ahead of yourself."
"Know your place. That boy has my approval."
"Since when do my decisions require your input?"
Ichikishimahime looked up in terror, "Lady White Snake, I did not mean that!"
"I just thought it was inappropriate."
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.
The next moment, an immense sage chakra crushed her into the ground, blood staining her body, presenting a gruesome sight of blood flowing from her seven orifices.
"Considering your loyal service to Ryuchi Cave for many years, this will be a lesson."
"If there's a next time!"
"I will flay you alive!"
Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime shuddered at the sight of Ichikishimahime's condition.
Although they had their own opinions earlier, they were glad they hadn't voiced them. Otherwise, their fate would likely have been the same as Ichikishimahime's.
Unaware of the happenings outside, Ryujiro found it indeed challenging to balance two Sage Modes.
Though the natural energy within him had become unbalanced, his body, influenced by the Hogyoku, did not suffer natural energy erosion.
After three days, faint purple eye shadows finally appeared at the corners of Ryujiro's eyes.
He had finally mastered the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave.
