White Snake Sage: That Ungrateful Brat Indra

"Are you kidding me?"

Upon learning that he couldn't escape, Kyosuke immediately became much more obedient.

Senjutsu Chakra is very strong; mastering it allows one to immediately reach the pinnacle.

Unfortunately, that thing is like nuclear energy; without Kage Level Chakra and physical strength, anyone who dares to touch it will only die.

Mitsuki, an artificial human, mastered a weakened version of Sage Mode through Orochimaru's Cursed Seal, but his entire body collapsed shortly after activating it.

Having mastered the core technology, Orochimaru used every trick in the book to barely restore Mitsuki's body to its original state.

The last person who drove him to such despair was probably Kimimaro was suffering from a terminal illness.

Unless he uses the Cursed Seal from Snake Sannin's version, Kyosuke will not be able to absorb Natural Energy in a short period of time.

The Snake Princess who attacked him earlier, if I remember correctly, should be called Tagorihime, one of the three great masters of Ryūchi Cave.

It's hard to estimate their true strength, but it's unlikely to be bad.

Putting everything else aside, Kyosuke would be exhausted just dealing with that Organic Reincarnation technique alone.

If we can avoid fighting, let's try to get along peacefully.

Can't he just give up the Kusanagi Sword?

He controlled his Shadow Clone to travel straight along the cave when suddenly, an aged voice echoed in his heart.

"Interesting little brat, come before me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly.

Kyosuke hadn't moved an inch, but when the thick fog dissipated, he found himself inside a huge cavern.

The ambushing Shadow Clone vanished, and all the Flying Thunder God Kunai left along the way also disappeared.

At that moment, he had no choice but to confront the threat head-on.

He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the several young women in the cave before finally settling on the large White-Scaled Serpent sitting cross-legged on the high platform.

"You wretched human brat," someone was glaring at him.

Tagorihime is a beautiful woman with long green hair and a crown. Who would have thought that beneath her human skin lies a snake?

Having seen her snake form before, Kyosuke now finds her strange no matter how he looks at her.

In contrast, the Snake Princess next to her seemed much more normal.

"Don't make a sound." The speaker was a beautiful young girl with long, dark blue hair.

He looked young, but the energy emanating from his body was quite deadly.

In terms of strength, he should be even stronger than his companions.

Ichikishimahime —that was the name bestowed upon her by the White Snake Sage.

"White Snake Sage, the intruder has been brought to justice." After saying this, the blue-haired Snake Princess stepped aside, not even glancing at Kyosuke once.

"Human," the White Snake Sage spoke, "What brings you to my Ryūchi Cave?"

Kyosuke turned his head again and was surprised to find that the massive, cloud-covering White-Scaled Serpent was gone.

On the high platform, an old woman leaning on her cane stared coldly at him.

The old woman in the white robe was smiling, but she gave him a sense of dread, as if he were being watched by a predator.

Adhering to the principles of honesty and humility, Kyosuke honestly told the truth, "I came here according to the map's directions and did not intentionally trespass into Ryūchi Cave. Please forgive me."

"Map?"

"That's right." Kyosuke pulled out the ridiculous Treasure Map from his pocket.

Feeling the energy gathering around him, he gently opened his palm, and the treasure map floated shakily into the old woman's hand.

Seeing this, Kyosuke felt a thought: compared to the Toad of Mount Myōboku, these Snake Princess were more adept at using external Natural Energy.

"The Kusanagi Sword." The old woman pondered for a while, then murmured uncertainly, "Does such a thing exist in our cave?"

At this moment, the last of the Great Serpent princesses, Tagitsuhime, spoke up, "Reporting to the White Snake Sage, one of the Kusanagi Sword did indeed fall into our hands Eight Hundred Years Ago."

"Oh, I remember now." The old woman recalled a long-forgotten memory and said with some emotion, "I remember, there was a young man who tried to rob us back then, wasn't there?"

"Yes, they were later Teuchi."

"Hmph, a brat who doesn't know what's good for him, daring to cause trouble in my Dojo. If it weren't for his father..."

At this point, the old woman suddenly fell silent for a while before looking at Kyosuke and saying, "That brat couldn't take it back then, and now you, his descendant, are coming to help your ancestor fulfill his wish?"

Ancestor?

Kyosuke asked hesitantly, "The brat you're talking about is...?"

"I remember, I think it was called Indra."

Good heavens... Kyosuke was utterly shocked, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His current feelings are probably similar to those of the Ino-Shika-Cho during their campaign against Kakuzu, who revealed that he had once fought the First Hokage.

Whether it's true or not, it certainly sounds very intimidating.

What an ungrateful Indra! You really managed to show off, White Snake Granny.

With a jumble of thoughts swirling in his mind, Kyosuke outwardly replied respectfully, "No, that's not true. I simply obtained the map by chance from the Land of Whirlpools."

This blame has to be shifted; Uzumaki Ashina would be a perfect candidate.

Upon hearing this, the old woman coughed and said disdainfully, "Uzumaki? Oh, a branch of the Ninja Sect, one of Asura's descendants, huh?"

"What a brat, he's not likable at all."

Well, here comes another "unpopular" Asura.

You're the boss, whatever makes you happy.

She chuckled to herself for a long time, then gently waved her hand, and a sheathed, Ancient Longsword appeared in her hand.

Its design is somewhat similar to Sasuke's, but it exudes a stronger sense of age.

Besides its ability to transmit Chakra, it must have some other special function that could pique Asura's interest.

"Want it?" the White Snake Sage said with a sly smile. "It's not impossible, but you should know that everyone who comes to my Ryūchi Cave must pass a test."

"If we succeed, everything is negotiable. If we fail, you can choose one of my three daughters and see which one you want to get pregnant with."

"Um..." Kyosuke blinked, and asked cautiously, "What kind of test is it?"

"Shinki, is that place still there?"

"Here I am."

Tagorihime came out and handed Kyosuke a detailed Shinobi World Map.

Three years ago, a group of people kidnapped the children from the cave.

"We cannot leave without permission due to our agreement. Once the child is found, this Kusanagi Sword is yours."

After briefly explaining the task, Tagorihime immediately retreated, clearly wanting no further contact with him.

At the same time, she also tossed out a Contract Scroll.

"Write your name down, and you'll gain the child's trust."

"Oh." Kyosuke obediently completed the contract; he had no right to refuse now.

"Once you succeed, we will use Reverse Summoning to bring you back."

After saying that, Kyosuke appeared outside Ryūchi Cave in a flash.

Inside the cave, the White Snake Sage was lost in thought.

She was using her abilities to glimpse the boy's future.
