It's been 24 years, why am I reincarnated in Konoha without a system?

Chapter 341 The Legacy of Ryūchi Cave, Sasuke's Determination

"Lucky fellow, looks like I might not get to eat a toad feast today." The green serpent, which was already arching its back and almost launching itself, spat out some drool upon hearing this, and then its massive serpent body transformed back into the Goddess of the Field Heart.

"Yes, it's such a pity that we only got this one chance!"

"How about we keep that blond brat as a tool? With him around, what kind of toad can't we eat!"

The other two large blue and brown snakes transformed into Princess Ichikishima and Princess Takitsu, and spoke in succession. Their words made Bunta's body tremble and his head buzz.

It seems they're treating Mount Myoboku like a buffet...

To break the contract, they must sever their contract with Mount Myōboku from Naruto!

This guy is too dangerous; he might cause the extinction of Mount Myōboku.

"Sasuke, Sasuke, are you alright...?"

Naruto, unaware of Gamabunta's ulterior motives, nonchalantly turned to Sasuke and shouted.

"Idiot, what could possibly happen to me!" Sasuke wiped away the blood and tears from the corner of his eyes, brimming with confidence. Is this the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Finally, he finally had eyes just like that guy's!

Moreover, he was not as fragile and ugly as Itachi described at the time; rather, he awakened his single-tomoe Sharingan that night and rose up in resistance.

Most importantly, Itachi cried at that moment!!

Why? Why would the executioner who wiped out an entire clan react that way?

Were they crocodile tears? Or something else entirely?

Damn it, he must use those eyes to find the truth!!

"Let's go, don't keep the White Snake Sage waiting too long." Ishikawa glanced at Sasuke, whose chest injury had healed, and then looked deeply at the other's Mangekyou Sharingan, urging him on.

Is this lotus-shaped six-pointed star pattern also associated with Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi?

"Boss Toad, I'm sorry you might have made a wasted trip. We're going to see the White Snake Sage now, so you should go back first!" Naruto belatedly realized what was going on and quickly jumped down to apologize.

Immediately, this unexpected turn of events made Gamabunta breathe a sigh of relief, and he hastily withdrew his idea of ​​terminating the contract.

Naruto, although not very bright, doesn't seem to be an idiot either.

But does this guy even understand the situation yet?

If this trip isn't a complete waste, then it's like giving away the three great snake goddesses as a toad feast.

Thinking of this, Gamabunta, who felt a little relieved of the pressure, didn't dare to utter a word. He immediately turned into white smoke and returned to Mount Myōboku to inform everyone to temporarily refuse Naruto's summoning.

The three snake princesses merely licked their lips with slight regret at Bunta's hasty escape and did not stop him. They immediately called the group to head deeper into Ryuchi Cave.

Soon, the four of them passed through layers of obstacles and arrived at a huge, ancient, gloomy, and imposing temple.

"This...this is the real Ryuchi Cave!!"

Looking at the temple courtyard, which was even larger than the previously magnificent illusion palace, Ishikawa glanced sideways in surprise and subconsciously remarked.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Jugo behind him were also dumbfounded, staring at the mega-structure and their minds went blank.

“That’s right, the White Serpent Sage is inside.” Princess Tsuratsu nodded, and then with a wave of her small hand, two enormous doors slowly opened.

Having already arrived, Ishikawa naturally wasn't intimidated and immediately stepped inside. Sasuke, Naruto, and Jugo, of course, followed closely behind in single file...

As the group passed through the tall pillars and dim candlelight, a colossal white phosphorescent serpent, with a pipe in its mouth, soon appeared before them, coiled around the throne.

Although it was a large snake, its head, covered in scales, had a thick head of orange hair. Its forehead was protected by a purple silk ribbon, and a bull horn-shaped ornament was inlaid with a red luminous pearl. A large green gemstone hung around its neck, and two golden rings encircled its tail. It was truly adorned with jewels and exuded an air of extravagance.

[This guy, does he also have that weird hobby of collecting shiny things like the dragons in fantasy novels?] Ishikawa's eyebrows twitched as he secretly complained, but on the surface he took a step forward without showing any emotion.

"White Snake Sage, I am Mitarashi Ishikawa, a Jonin of Konoha."

"I am Uchiha Sasuke, a Chunin of Konoha." Upon hearing Ishikawa's self-introduction, Sasuke hurriedly echoed with burning eyes.

If he could obtain the power of Ryuchi Cave, combined with his current Mangekyou Sharingan, perhaps he could defeat Itachi and uncover the truth behind the clan's massacre the next time he sees him.

"Tch, not again!" Naruto covered his head with his hands and pouted unhappily when he saw Ishikawa Sasuke's arrogant and ugly face.

"I am Naruto Uzumaki. Thank you for helping us out of that situation earlier."

"Jugo Libra." Almost the instant Naruto thanked him, Jugo also introduced himself crisply.

"You brat from Mount Myōboku? You seem to have misunderstood something. I just don't want the Nine-Tails to appear and cause unnecessary damage to Ryūchi Cave, not to help you." The White Snake Sage exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, his yellow snake eyes lightly sweeping over Naruto before shifting his gaze to Ishikawa and Sasuke.

“Everything that happens inside Ryuchi Cave will reach my ears, so I know everything that just happened. Now I need to confirm, are you two here to receive the immortal arts inheritance of Ryuchi Cave?”

“If so, Uchiha Sasuke has already passed the test and is qualified. As for Mitarashi Ishikawa, I can give you an exception…”

"This is the power of a sage that even Orochimaru hasn't mastered."

"An exception?" "The inheritance of immortal techniques!!"

Upon hearing this, Ishikawa and Sasuke exclaimed in surprise at the same time, not expecting the White Snake Sage to be so easy to talk to.

Sasuke, in particular, received the White Snake Sage's approval before he even spoke, which made him both excited and secretly relieved.

In this way, even the senior brother cannot say that he is stealing the Dragon Cave's inheritance.

"White Snake Sage, I accept your Sage Mode inheritance." Without hesitation, Sasuke, brimming with confidence after activating his Mangekyou Sharingan, immediately shouted.

Even Orochimaru couldn't control this power? Just how terrifying is this Sage Technique?!

"Sasuke, I advise you to calm down. Sage Mode is powerful, but the risk of failure is greater. Besides, your cursed seal is also Sage Mode, albeit a inferior version, it is still Sage Mode." Ishikawa turned to him and advised him kindly, not believing that Sasuke was qualified to take the test at this time.

Although he has already awakened his Kaleidoscope and has the protagonist's halo, Kabuto says that the White Snake Sage's magic is a matter of life and death.

Even if you're lucky enough to succeed, the drawbacks of the snake transformation are quite terrifying!

The thought of the handsome Sasuke, the most good-looking guy, dragging a snake tail or having sharp horns on his head and scales on his body makes Ishikawa want to laugh...

"Is the Cursed Seal also a Sage Art?" Sasuke was slightly taken aback, then a resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he arrogantly declared, "Brother, I've made up my mind!"

"If I fall here, it will prove that my capacity has reached its limit! Besides, everything I bear does not allow me to give up this opportunity!!"

"Finally, I believe in the power of the Uchiha..."
