This Lord Is Going to Suck Hard

As the dense fog dispersed, the temple doors slowly opened. An old woman in white robes, with a scarlet luminous pearl atop her head, narrowed her eyes. Wisps of smoke curled from the long pipe in her hand.

"What a disgrace. Every one of you has lived for nearly a thousand years, yet you were bewitched to this extent by a little fox brat. Even the Sharingan's Genjutsu was useless."

"Hmm... the demon fox inside you really does resemble the Nine-Tails. But the Nine-Tails is currently sealed inside a woman. That ominous, revolting aura... you really are hiding a secret."

The White Snake Sage puffed out clouds of smoke, and the thick mist shrouding her quietly dispersed, finally revealing the true form of Ryūchi Cave's White Snake Sage.

Her body was coiled high in the air. The stone bed large enough to hold dozens of people could only accommodate her head, neck, and a small part of her upper body.

Her orange hair cascaded down her back, while the dark green cat's-eye gemstone on her chest was dim and lusterless. Divine objects concealed their brilliance.

A strip of purple silk served as her forehead protector, and a scarlet luminous pearl as large as a millstone emitted faint glimmers. She was far longer than the three Divine Princesses of Ryūchi Cave, yet her presence was almost nonexistent.

"You're so annoying! You old hag, why did you bring me all the way here? What exactly do you want?"

In an instant, Tagorihime, Ichikishimahime, and Tagitsuhime panicked and hurriedly lowered their heads to apologize.

"We're terribly sorry! White Snake Sage, please forgive this rude child. Give us a little time, and we'll definitely teach him what manners are."

"Forget it. It's been a long time since I encountered a brat with such enormous chakra reserves and such an amusing personality. Interesting little Uchiha, you'd better endure it. Don't let Natural Energy erode you and turn you into a snake."

"Otherwise, you can only become food for all the snakes in Ryūchi Cave. Understand?"

A trace of mockery flashed through the vertical pupils in her orange eyes. The White Snake Sage slowly opened her jaws, and drops of snake saliva brimming with vitality dripped from her sharp, thick fangs, corroding the stone slab.

"Now, let me see just how much Natural Energy you can withstand, little Uchiha."

Her fangs pierced his neck. Completely unlike chakra, surging and vigorous Natural Energy flooded into him. For a moment, even the Black Nine-Tails, who had been pretending to sleep in the Inner world, had no choice but to look around.

"Strange power. Is this the Natural Energy you mentioned? Little Uchiha, it can make This Lord's chakra dozens of times stronger. This strange power..."

The Forest Garden abruptly vanished. Under the influence of that terrifying vitality, vegetation began growing wildly, and the Black Nine-Tails abruptly spread out an invisible force, making all the plants and crops disappear.

At that moment, ripples spread across the lake of his heart as countless torrents of Natural Energy merged into the lake and the Black Nine-Tails' body.

"Is that so? I have no desire to become snake shit. Then no matter how much Natural Energy there is, I'll gladly take it all. Here it comes!"

His gaze shifted, and the notification at the corner of his eye made Huayue's mouth twitch.

The solemn expression beneath his mask abruptly turned into wild joy. The White Snake Sage, who was continuously channeling Natural Energy into Huayue's body, sensed that intense delight and was secretly astonished.

Such intense emotional fluctuations, yet he can still smoothly absorb Natural Energy. Could this boy be a ninja naturally suited to cultivating Sage Mode?

Yet before the turmoil in the White Snake Sage's heart could settle, what happened next caused the emotional upheaval of this old snake, who had lived for over a thousand years, to become even more pronounced.

I thought Character Check-in was already unmatched in the world. I never imagined there could be something even more powerful than Character Check-in. Locations can be checked in too?

Ever since meeting so many outstanding geniuses, Uchiha Huayue often shut himself away because he felt he was not talented enough.

He felt deeply ashamed that he had not started out invincible, punched Filial Son Weasel, kicked Konoha F4, ascended to the Hokage's throne, and made the naive Kaguya pregnant with four children.

The Sage trait allowed Uchiha Huayue's senses to perceive a world unlike anything before, while the chakra and Natural Energy in his body could effortlessly reach equilibrium.

Just as Uchiha Huayue was preparing to stop and calm his excitement, an unexpected notification instantly turned his surprise into wild ecstasy.

Consecutive sign-ins successful. Time flow detected. All sign-ins for this year have been completed. Yearly Sign-In opening...

Huh? Not only are there Daily Sign-Ins and Monthly Sign-Ins, but now there are even Yearly Sign-Ins? Don't tell me a Wu... No, there probably won't be that last one.

In the blink of an eye, the water turned azure. Within Huayue's Inner world, the Black Nine-Tails felt utterly refreshed and could not help stretching lazily.

"Brat... no, Uchiha Huayue. I never expected there would be a power in this world that could make it react. This so-called Natural Energy?"

"Listen carefully. Opportunities must not be missed. Once you lose this chance, it will be difficult to encounter such a good opportunity again. This Lord is going to suck hard."

All at once, the White Snake Sage, who had been continuously pouring Natural Energy into him, felt an unprecedented suction force drawing her Sage Energy into that bottomless black hole.

"So this is the White Snake Sage? Don't tell me this is all you've got. If you want me to enter Sage Mode, this little chakra isn't enough. Could it be that I'll have to spend the New Year in Ryūchi Cave this year?"

"What is this chakra? Such a terrifying amount of chakra... it feels like facing the entire world. The White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave cannot be looked down on by a little Uchiha brat!"

The White Snake Sage shouted sharply. Tagorihime, Ichikishimahime, and Tagitsuhime immediately opened their snake jaws, plunging sharp venomous fangs into Huayue's limbs and pouring their Natural Energy into him as well.

"Sorry, darling. I'll be as gentle as possible..."

"As expected of the man I chose. I never thought even Lady White Snake Sage would have trouble holding on and would actually need us to help."

"The Natural Energy coming next may surpass your imagination. If you can't endure it, you must cry out so we'll know, hehehe..."

His black and white eyes transformed into an intricate, exquisite Mangekyō, while eerie blackish-purple eyeshadow quietly spread around them.

Yearly Sign-In successful...
