Inside the Ryuchi Cave, the mountains overlapped and shrouded in fog. Because there was no sunlight all year round, the place was dark and oppressive, giving off an indescribable sense of mystery …
Whoosh!
A vortex stirred up time and space, and four figures appeared in the fog: Feather, Orochimaru, Kamiji, and Sasuke Uchiha.
Feather looked around and sighed. "It's been ten years, and this place is still the same …"
Kamiji was wearing a gauze dress with ribbons draped over her shoulders. Her hair was tied up into buns on both sides. She was dressed the same as before, but ten years had passed, and her hair was now draped down her back. She looked even more feminine than before …
She was White Snake Sage's niece. She was about to see her family after so many years, so she was very excited!
"Oh!!" The curse seal on Sasuke's body responded. "What's going on? Why is the curse seal's power so restless in this place?"
That was inevitable. The curse seal's essence was a weakened version of the Ryuchi Cave's power!
Buzz!
Sasuke used his own will to suppress the curse seal.
Whoosh!
The fog around them dispersed, revealing a path that led to the temple at the end!
Nothing in the Ryuchi Cave could escape White Snake Sage's eyes and ears. She already knew that Feather was here.
In the familiar temple, there was an unknown body with orange hair and yellow eyes. There was a green eyestone in front of her chest, a purple ribbon as a forehead protector, and an army-green horn-shaped ornament. There was a green luminous pearl on her head, a pipe in her mouth, and two golden rings on her tail … White Snake Sage sat on the throne. Ten years had passed, but she hadn't changed at all.
After all, for an Immortal who had lived for thousands of years, ten years was just the blink of an eye.
"Grandma!" Kamiji ran over like a gust of wind. She snuggled up to White Snake Sage's throne and said with tears in her eyes, "I've finally met you. I've missed you so much, grandma!"
"Oh, good child. Grandma has missed you too …" White Snake Sage's face was full of love and care. "Did you suffer in the outside world all these years, child?"
Kamiji looked up. "Not at all. Everyone treated me well. Did you feel lonely without Kamiji by your side?"
The White Snake Immortal said, "Of course it's much quieter. But compared to such trivial matters, your happiness is the most important thing."
Kamiji's eyes. "Kamiji will stay with you this time!"
"Mmm … that's good." The White Snake Immortal nodded and looked at Feather with his vertical pupils. Feather's new appearance and the power of rebirth made this old man, who had lived for more than a thousand years, sigh with emotion. "Kid, looking at you now, I feel that time flies …"
Feather smiled faintly as he took out a treasure chest and placed it under the White Snake Celestial.
White Snake Sage's heart.
Crack!
Inside the treasure chest was a sparkling snow ginseng.
The White Snake Immortal said, "Oh? This ginseng, White Snake Sage, what? "
Feather said, "This is a ten-thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng from the snowy mountains of the far north. It has the effect of prolonging one's life. Of course, for an old Immortal like you, it's just icing on the cake. Consider it a little gift from this junior …"
"Hahaha." White Snake Sage's face was full of joy. "You're very thoughtful …"
She gladly accepted the treasure Chest and a futon appeared under her seat.
Feather flung her clothes and sat down on the futon.
Orochimaru stood behind her obediently.
Sasuke was puzzled. The Shadow was so powerful, yet he was so respectful to this snake. Could it be that this snake was more powerful than the Shadow?
White Snake Sage said, "Rikudō Senjutsu, Rinnegan, Juubi's Jinchuriki … I'm afraid your current height is no less than us three old men …"
The answer was, of course, no. Feather's current strength was no less than White Snake Sage's. Feather's respect was due to his kindness to an elder.
After all, people should not forget their roots!
Feather said, "Of course not. This junior is still very young. There is still a long way to go …"
"Well, you have great strength, and you also know the principle of humility. Not bad, not bad …"
White Snake Sage nodded appreciatively and looked at Orochimaru, who was behind Xiang Yu. "Orochimaru, you've also improved a lot. Compared to when you first learned Senjutsu, you're like a different person …"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Of course not. This junior can be where he is today, all thanks to you!"
"Well." White Snake Sage nodded and looked at Sasuke. "Well? Those eyes … Is there such a kid among the descendants of the Uchiha? His body has the cells of the First Hokage, and some of my clan's power … "
Sasuke frowned. This snake saw through the details of my strength at a glance!
White Snake Sage asked, "Kid, what is your name?"
Sasuke said, "Sasuke Uchiha!"
"Oh …" White Snake Sage murmured and looked at Xiang Yu again. She knew that Feather would not bring such a strange boy to her for no reason.
Feather said seriously, "This junior is here to visit you, and also to let Sasuke learn Senjutsu of the Ryuchi Cave …"
"Ah." White Snake Sage already knew what was going on. She flicked the ashes of her cigarette and said, "Since you brought him here personally, this is not a difficult matter. However, we still have to go through the necessary procedures. I'll test him a little. Is that okay?"
"Of course, please!"
"Well … Then let him wait in the inner hall."
Sasuke was brought to the inner hall.
After a while, the fog rose, and White Snake Sage turned into an old woman. Holding a dragon-headed cane, she walked out of the fog and appeared in front of Sasuke. When she walked out of the fog and appeared in front of Sasuke, she had turned into Uchiha Itachi!
"Itachi, didn't I kill you?!" Sasuke's eyes widened, but he was not stupid. He immediately realized that this was an illusion. He said unhappily, "What are you doing? Why did you appear in front of me like this? Did Shadow ask you to do this?!"
The White Snake Immortal said, "Hmph … This fog can reflect the appearance of the person you hate the most. I don't know the person you called Itachi, and it wasn't Brat Yu who asked me to do this …"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
White Snake Sage said, "Logically speaking, no matter how great the hatred is, since you killed him with your own hands, it should have been resolved. But you can still see it. This proves that the hatred in your heart is too strong!"
Sasuke said impatiently, "What are you trying to say?!"
White Snake Sage said, "My Ryuchi Cave's Senjutsu is called Cataclysmic Senjutsu. You, who have some cursed Senjutsu in your body, should know that this power has the risk of making you lose your mind. If you learn Cataclysmic Senjutsu with this hatred, you will only become a demon who kills without blinking. Before you can see my true appearance, I will not teach you Senjutsu …"
In the temple, White Snake Sage was still sitting on the throne. The one in the inner hall was only her illusion.
Kamiji was at a small table not far away, eating the food he brought from the human world.
The smoke coming out of White Snake Sage's pipe showed the image of the inner hall.
Feather looked at the image and said, "Uh, I don't remember there being such an assessment in the past, right?"
The White Snake Immortal took a deep puff of her cigarette and smiled. "Hehe … That kid's potential is not bad. With his current strength, it won't be difficult for him to pass those tests. However, since you brought him here, I can't just casually teach him immortal techniques and leave him alone. I have to be responsible for him."
The White Snake Immortal's words, which were filled with the demeanor of an elder, touched Feather's heart.
In the inner hall, Sasuke clenched his fists. But under the eaves, he had to lower his head and let go of his clenched fists, "Then what should I do?"
The White Snake Immortal's illusion said, "It's not difficult. I've used a spell to connect the things you see with your inner emotions. As long as you can defeat this illusion of mine, the strongest hostility in your heart will be resolved …"
"In other words, as long as I fight, I can solve the problem! That's exactly what I want! " Sasuke smiled arrogantly and looked around the inner hall, "But this place is too small. I'm afraid I'll destroy it with just a few moves!"
The White Snake Immortal laughed and said, "Hehehehe … You're still young, but you're talking big. Back then, when Yu came here, he was much stronger than you. He was also young and frivolous. He wasn't as unreasonable as you are. Looks like before I resolve your hostility, I have to let you know your place!"
Crack!
In the background of Sasuke's spiritual world, a pair of terrifying vertical pupils appeared, releasing a chilling murderous aura!
Thump!
Sasuke's eyes widened. He supported himself with his hands and sweated profusely, "How is this possible? With my current strength, she only used her murderous aura to … Other than the Shadow, there's actually someone like her in this world!"
In the temple, the smoke dissipated, and the image of the inner hall disappeared.
White Snake Sage said, "Judging from the situation, he won't be able to pass my trial in a short time …"
Lin Yu said, "That's good. Sasuke can understand the vastness of the world."
White Snake Sage said playfully, "Speaking of which, I remember something. When you first came to me, you used the Wood Dragon Jutsu to forcibly extract my Immortal Power …"
Lin Yu said shamefully, "Back then, I was young and impetuous. I didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Now that I think about it, I really have to thank you for not holding a grudge against me!"
The White Snake Immortal laughed and said, "Hehehe … as the saying goes, 'a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger'. Perhaps it was because of the courage you displayed back then that made me appreciate your talent. It's not good for a young man to be impulsive. It's also not good for him to blindly charge forward without knowing when to advance or retreat. Now, that impulsiveness of yours has been tempered by time into steadiness.
Lin Yu said, "Thank you for your praise."
White Snake Sage looked at Kamiji, who was eating heartily, and thought to herself, "Ten years have passed, but Kamiji is still a virgin …"
She took a puff of her cigarette and said, "Little Feather, it's rare for you to come here. Why don't you stay in my residence for a while?"
Feather said, "Ah, as you wish …"
White Snake Sage smiled thoughtfully. "Mm, then after you finish eating, go to bed. Orochimaru, you stay here and serve me. Little Feather, you and Kamiji will sleep in the same room tonight …"
