Yeyu looked at White Snake Sage and said, "Naturally, I am here to find a summoning beast."

White Snake Sage chuckled, "Is it really that simple?"

Yeyu nodded.

Watching Yeyu, the smile on White Snake Sage's face vanished.

"You should know that entering this place requires passing a trial, yet you arrived here so abruptly."

"BOOM"

In an instant, a pressure several times stronger than before erupted from White Snake Sage.

A storm manifested in the surroundings, and cracks began to spiderweb across the stones of the cavern.

Yet, Yeyu stood in the center of the vortex, his expression calm, completely undisturbed.

"So, I didn't follow the rules, is that it?"

"There's no need to be so angry, White Snake Sage."

"BOOM"

"CRACK, RUMBLE"

An even more terrifying Conqueror's Haki instantly erupted from Yeyu.

The pressure from White Snake Sage surrounding him was shattered in an instant.

The cavern rocks beneath their feet crumbled into pieces.

White Snake Sage's massive serpent head was forced backward by the impact.

Yeyu remained calm, showing not a hint of strain.

However, White Snake Sage's expression turned grave.

This brat is incredibly strong.

Just from that clash of auras, the fact that she had actually lost was enough to show that Yeyu's strength was already immense.

This boy's strength does not match his age.

I have misjudged him.

She had thought Yeyu was merely a young genius, never expecting him to be a powerhouse already.

She had originally intended to suppress Yeyu's momentum.

She hadn't expected to be the one suppressed by Yeyu instead.

"White Snake Sage, I wonder how many great snakes reside in Ryūchi Cave; I would like to sign contracts with them."

White Snake Sage steadied her mind.

She looked at Yeyu with much more seriousness.

"You only want to sign contracts with the great snakes? Do you not wish to learn Sage Art?"

"Given your aptitude, you are very well-suited for it."

Yeyu waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't have the time."

White Snake Sage was stunned, "Huh? You don't have the time?"

She had imagined many reasons for Yeyu's refusal, but she never expected it to be a lack of time.

White Snake Sage was curious, "What do you mean, no time?"

"Are you in such a hurry to do something?"

The man and the serpent began to chat inexplicably.

White Snake Sage listened as Yeyu explained his current mission.

She nodded repeatedly.

About ten minutes later.

White Snake Sage looked at Yeyu, speechless, "The Sage Art of Ryūchi Cave does not require study; you only need to test if you can control natural energy. I will inject Sage Chakra into you, and as long as you can master this power, you will be able to learn Sage Art."

"Do you want to give it a try?"

"It is very fast; one night is more than enough."

White Snake Sage tempted him.

She had taken a liking to Yeyu's aptitude.

Yeyu hadn't expected the Sage Art of Ryūchi Cave to be cultivated in such a way.

Thinking of how Orochimaru failed the trial while Kabuto Yakushi passed it, Yeyu did indeed develop the thought of giving it a try.

"I can give it a try."

White Snake Sage smiled, "I will state this in advance: if you cannot pass the trial, you will become my food."

Yeyu didn't care at all.

If he couldn't pass, he would simply run; how could he possibly give it a chance to eat him?

Seeming to see through Yeyu's thoughts, White Snake Sage said with some helplessness, "It is indeed a bit troublesome. If you want to run, it would be quite difficult for me to catch you."

"Three Divine Princesses~"

White Snake Sage sent out a signal, summoning the Three Divine Princesses of Ryūchi Cave.

White Snake Sage looked at Yeyu, "You had better pass the trial, otherwise, if you want to run out, you will have to pay a heavy price."

Yeyu smiled, not taking it to heart, "White Snake Sage, I would like to ask, if I really ran away, what would you do?"

Looking at Yeyu's smiling face, the corner of White Snake Sage's mouth twitched, "Then what else could I do?"

"Do you expect me to curse you from inside this cave?"

Because the chat with Yeyu had gone well just now, White Snake Sage was not as aloof as it had been at the beginning.

"I heard that Orochimaru didn't pass the assessment either, and he ran away too."

Yeyu said while looking at White Snake Sage.

Yeyu mentioned Orochimaru, and White Snake Sage became even angrier, "That guy learned some rebirth ninjutsu to escape, but he also wasted a physical body in the process."

It was clear that the matter of Orochimaru still rankled White Snake Sage to this day.

While they were speaking, the Three Divine Princesses appeared here.

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

The three of them were very beautiful when they transformed into human shapes.

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

"I have a question I'm quite curious about."

White Snake Sage looked at Yeyu in confusion, "What question do you have?"

Yeyu looked at the Three Divine Princesses, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is this an illusion, or is your physical structure the same as a human's?"

The Three Divine Princesses were stunned.

White Snake Sage was also stunned.

It had never expected Yeyu to ask such a question.

Soon, the Three Divine Princesses understood what Yeyu meant.

Their faces instantly flushed red, "Shameless!"

The three of them cursed Yeyu in unison.

White Snake Sage also looked at Yeyu, speechless, "Don't focus on these irrelevant things; hurry over here so I can infuse you with senjutsu chakra."

White Snake Sage was also worried that Yeyu's words would cause the Three Divine Princesses to attack him directly.

Don't let its constant threats toward Yeyu fool you; in reality, it was quite expectant of Yeyu.

It was very much looking forward to him passing the trial.

Because Yeyu's aptitude was too strong; if Yeyu learned senjutsu and became a powerhouse in the Ninja World in the future, Ryūchi Cave would also benefit from it.

Yeyu instantly appeared on the giant stone chair.

White Snake Sage was stunned, "This isn't the Body Flicker Technique, is it?"

Yeyu waved his hand and said, "No, it's the Flying Thunder God."

Yeyu didn't hide anything at all.

White Snake Sage looked at Yeyu with the urge to swallow him in one gulp.

"No wonder you aren't afraid at all; it turns out you have a trump card to rely on."

White Snake Sage naturally knew what kind of ninjutsu the Flying Thunder God was.

It was precisely because it knew that it felt quite speechless.

Even if Yeyu couldn't pass the trial, there was truly nothing it could do about him.

This brat is too detestable.

I shouldn't have called those three in.

White Snake Sage was very speechless, though it had been quite interested in Yeyu from the start.

Yeyu looked at White Snake Sage and said, "Come on."

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

These Three Goddesses had lived for thousands of years, and this was the first time they had been teased by a human trial-taker.

And a human brat who was only 12 years old at that.

White Snake Sage shook its head and split a small snake from its own body.

The small white snake crawled onto Yeyu's shoulder.

It sank its fangs into Yeyu's neck.

"Hiss~"

In an instant, a surge of chakra, entirely different from the chakra within his own body, flooded into him with frantic intensity.

Yeyu's heart hammered violently.

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

"This power... it's so volatile."

The Sage Chakra rampaged through Yeyu's body; despite being Sage Chakra, it lacked even a hint of gentleness, acting like a poison that wracked his body with agony.

Steam rose from Yeyu's face, and his skin flushed a deep red.

The Three Goddesses floating in the air were already staring fixedly at Yeyu.

"Once he fails, we must devour him, that shameless wretch."
