Are the Three Goddesses Really Able to Become Human?

Yeyu looked at the White Snake Sage and said, "Of course, I came to find a Summoned Beast."

The White Snake Sage smiled. "Is it really that simple?"

Yeyu nodded.

As she looked at Yeyu, the smile disappeared from the White Snake Sage's face.

"Do you know that anyone who wants to enter this place has to pass a test? Yet you suddenly showed up here."

Boom!

In an instant, the White Snake Sage unleashed several times more pressure than before.

A storm swept through the area, and cracks spread across the cave walls.

But Yeyu stood in the eye of the storm, his expression calm and undisturbed.

"So I broke the rules, is that it?"

"You don't have to get so angry, White Snake Sage."

Boom!

Crack! Rumble!

Yeyu instantly unleashed an even more terrifying Conqueror's Haki.

The White Snake Sage's pressure was scattered at once.

The rocks beneath his feet crumbled.

The White Snake Sage's enormous head was thrown backward.

Yeyu remained perfectly calm, showing no sign of strain.

But the White Snake Sage's expression grew grave.

"This kid is strong."

The clash of their auras had just made it clear: she had lost, and Yeyu's strength was already extraordinary.

"This kid's strength doesn't match his age."

"I misjudged him."

She had assumed Yeyu was merely a young genius. She hadn't realized he was already a powerhouse.

She had meant to suppress Yeyu's presence.

Instead, he had suppressed hers.

"White Snake Sage, how many Great Snakes live in Ryūchi Cave? I want to sign a contract with them."

The White Snake Sage steadied herself.

She regarded Yeyu with greater seriousness.

"You only want to sign a contract with a Great Snake? You don't want to learn Senjutsu?"

"With your talent, you'd be well suited to it."

Yeyu waved a hand. "Forget it. I don't have time."

The White Snake Sage was stunned. "Huh? You don't have time?"

She had thought of all sorts of reasons Yeyu might refuse, but it had never occurred to her that he'd say he didn't have time.

The White Snake Sage was curious. "What do you mean, you don't have time?"

"Is whatever you have to do that urgent?"

Before long, the human and the snake had somehow started chatting.

The White Snake Sage listened as Yeyu told her about his current mission.

She nodded repeatedly.

A little over ten minutes later, the White Snake Sage looked at Yeyu, speechless. "The Senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave doesn't need to be studied. You only need to see whether you can control Natural Energy. I'll inject you with Senjutsu Chakra. If you can control that power, you'll learn Senjutsu."

"Want to give it a try?"

"It'll be quick. One night is more than enough."

The White Snake Sage tried to tempt him.

She had taken a liking to Yeyu's talent.

Yeyu hadn't expected the Senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave to be learned this way.

Thinking of how Orochimaru had failed the test while Kabuto Yakushi had passed, Yeyu found himself wanting to try.

"Sure. I'll give it a try."

The White Snake Sage smiled. "Let me warn you first: if you fail the test, you'll become my food."

Yeyu didn't care in the slightest.

If he failed, he'd just run away. There was no way he'd let her eat him.

The White Snake Sage seemed to see what he was thinking and sighed. "That would be a bit troublesome. If you tried to run, I'd have a hard time catching you."

"Three Divine Princesses~"

The White Snake Sage sent out a summons, calling for Ryūchi Cave's Three Divine Princesses.

The White Snake Sage looked at Yeyu. "You'd better pass the test. Otherwise, escaping this cave will cost you dearly."

Yeyu smiled, unfazed. "White Snake Sage, I have a question. If I really did run away, what would you do?"

At Yeyu's smile, the White Snake Sage's mouth twitched. "What else could I do?"

"Curse you from inside this cave?"

They had been getting along well, so the White Snake Sage wasn't as aloof as she had been at first.

"I heard Orochimaru failed the test too, and he ran away."

Yeyu looked at the White Snake Sage as he spoke.

At the mention of Orochimaru, the White Snake Sage grew even angrier. "That guy only escaped after learning some reincarnation ninjutsu, and even then, he lost a body."

It was clear that the White Snake Sage still held a grudge over what Orochimaru had done.

As they talked, the Three Divine Princesses appeared.

All three were in human form, floating in the air.

They were all beautiful in that form.

Yeyu looked at the three of them and said, "Are you fairies?"

"I've been wondering about something."

The White Snake Sage looked at Yeyu in confusion. "What are you wondering about?"

Yeyu looked at the Three Divine Princesses and hesitated before asking, "Is this an illusion, or are your bodies really built like humans'?"

The Three Divine Princesses froze.

The White Snake Sage froze too.

None of them had expected Yeyu to ask that.

The Three Divine Princesses quickly understood what he meant.

Their faces flushed. "Shameless!"

All three of them scolded Yeyu in unison.

The White Snake Sage looked at him, speechless. "Stop worrying about things like that. Come here. I'm going to inject you with Senjutsu Chakra."

The White Snake Sage was also worried that Yeyu's words might make the Three Divine Princesses attack him on the spot.

Although she had been threatening Yeyu the whole time, she was actually rather hopeful about him.

She was eager to see him pass the test.

Yeyu's talent was simply too impressive. If he learned Senjutsu and became a powerhouse in the Ninja World, Ryūchi Cave would benefit too.

Yeyu appeared on the enormous stone chair in an instant.

The White Snake Sage was stunned. "That wasn't the Body Flicker Technique, was it?"

Yeyu waved a hand. "No. It was the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Yeyu didn't hide a thing.

The White Snake Sage looked at him, tempted to swallow him whole.

"No wonder you're not afraid at all. You know you have a way out."

The White Snake Sage naturally knew what the Flying Thunder God Technique was.

That was exactly why she felt so helpless.

Even if Yeyu failed the test, she wouldn't be able to do a thing to him.

"This brat is so infuriating."

"I summoned those three for nothing."

The White Snake Sage was exasperated, though she had been quite interested in Yeyu from the start.

Yeyu looked at the White Snake Sage. "Go ahead."

The Three Divine Princesses floated in the air, glaring at Yeyu with flushed faces.

They had lived for over a thousand years, and this was the first time a human undergoing their trial had teased them.

And he was just a twelve-year-old human brat.

The White Snake Sage shook her head and split a small snake off from her own body.

The little white snake crawled onto Yeyu's shoulder.

It sank its teeth into his neck.

"Hiss~"

In an instant, a kind of chakra completely different from the chakra in his body surged into him.

Yeyu's heart pounded violently.

He felt as if he were drunk, his head spinning.

"This power is so intense."

The Senjutsu Chakra rampaged through Yeyu's body. It was Senjutsu Chakra, yet there wasn't a trace of gentleness to it. Like poison, it made his whole body ache.

Heat rose from Yeyu's face, which had turned red.

The Three Divine Princesses floating in the air stared intently at Yeyu.

"Once he fails, we're definitely going to eat him. The shameless creep."
