Chapter 137: Birthday Gift.
"Who wants to go first?"
Wanci smiled as he looked at the group of people in front of him.
At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to Kaguya Otsutsuki without prior agreement.
She was tall and slender, and her simple white dress accentuated her cool and ethereal气质.
Regarding her connection with Manji, she was the first person in the ninja world to know him, and in everyone's eyes, Kaguya was quite close to Manji.
Everyone tacitly agreed that Kaguya should be the first to present the birthday gift.
Gamamaru also turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Kaguya.
"snort...."
Kaguya smiled slightly to herself.
She felt that she should be the one to offer it first, so she took a small step forward, about to speak in response.
"I'll go first!"
A clear and melodious female voice, like that of a nightingale in spring, interrupted Kaguya's actions.
Kaguya's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly for a moment, her cool eyes darkening slightly as she turned to look in the direction of the sound.
A faint bluish-white mist suddenly rose into the air.
Immediately afterwards, the enormous, crimson serpent suddenly emerged from the mist!
On the top of the crimson giant serpent stood four figures!
The girl in the lead wore a long pink and white dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the breeze. She had a slender and graceful figure, a delicate oval face, and skin as smooth and lustrous as jade.
Wanci, standing on the high platform, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes the moment he saw the girl's figure.
"She's here too..."
Wanci slowly stood up on his own initiative.
"So it's the White Snake Immortal. I didn't expect you to come in person. This adds even more liveliness to the birthday banquet."
Wan Ci greeted them with a faint smile.
The visitor was none other than the White Snake Immortal, the master of Longdi Cave. She had known Wanci for a thousand years and they had a deep friendship. Upon hearing of Wanci's thousandth birthday, she accepted the invitation and made a special trip to come in person.
She took a light step and gracefully descended from above Xin Ya's head, her figure as light as a butterfly. She walked straight to the high platform, showing no aloofness whatsoever from the otherworldly immortals. Instead, she smiled and looked at Wan Ci.
"Brother Wanci, although we've lived separately on our respective immortal mountains for so many years and rarely had the chance to meet, how could I possibly miss such a joyous occasion as your thousandth birthday?"
The white snake looked at Wan Ci with a smile.
She didn't address him as "Great Immortal" as others would, but instead called him "Brother Wanci," the intimacy in her tone obvious.
Wanci immediately smiled and waved his hand, not caring at all about this overstepping his bounds.
"These are my four disciples, whom I have carefully taught at Ryuchi Cave: Tashin, Takitsu, Ichiki, and Shinga. The four of you, come with me to pay our respects to the Great Sage!"
The White Snake Immortal then turned to the side, looked at the three girls on the snake heads behind him and Xin Ya, and said in a slightly authoritative tone.
Three girls dressed in simple, elegant clothes immediately followed Xin Ya's body and slowly walked down, their eyes full of curiosity about the legendary figure.
"Greetings, Great Immortal!" ×3
The three of them bowed deeply in unison, showing utmost respect.
They had heard countless tales about the White Snake Fairy from her before.
He was even more curious about who this person was who could make his usually aloof master worry about him for so many years and come to offer his birthday wishes in such a solemn manner.
"The little snake pays its respects to the great immortal!"
Even Xin Ya, who was usually unruly and short-tempered, spoke respectfully.
"No need for formalities. Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myoboku have a deep connection and are all one family. You are all juniors, so please do as you please."
Seeing this, Wan Ci smiled, took two steps forward, and said gently.
Kaguya remained standing in the same spot.
Seeing all this, she watched as Wanci took the initiative to get up and greet her, and watched the White Snake Immortal and Wanci be so familiar and intimate.
Kaguya's brows furrowed even more, and a barely perceptible hint of displeasure flashed in her cool eyes.
A strange, bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.
The steps that were about to step forward silently stopped in place.
The White Snake Sage merely glanced at Kaguya without saying anything.
He immediately took out an exquisite blue scroll from his sleeve, presented it to Wanci with both hands, his eyebrows curving and his face beaming with smiles:
"Brother Wanci, on your 100th birthday, I haven't prepared any rare or exotic treasures. I've heard you mention your love for poetry and literature since I was young, so I personally composed a birthday poem for you. It's not particularly exquisite, but it's a token of my heart. I wish you a long and happy life!"
With that, she gently unrolled the scroll!
The characters on the scroll were elegant and lively, each one clear, and a simple and easy-to-understand birthday greeting was displayed before everyone's eyes.
The poem expresses gratitude for countless achievements over a thousand years and best wishes for a thousand-year birthday:
"Guarding the mortal world for a thousand years, protecting humanity."
"The first move disrupts the chaos of war."
"Unbinding Tsukuyomi from Kaguya's seal, grace fills the Oshigawa River."
"Passing on knowledge and nurturing talents, ensuring the continuation of the lineage,"
"Compiling and recording the annals of history."
"May you live to be a thousand years old, and enjoy lasting happiness and peace."

"Good! Good! Good!"
Wan clapped his hands with a smile, praising it as a fine poem!
Kaguya, standing to the side, felt somewhat uncomfortable; the poem even mentioned sealing her away...
The White Snake had just finished reporting...
Then came Shikkotsu Forest. Manji could be considered half a Shikkotsu Forest member, since he had learned Shikkotsu Forest's magic.
Next came the Ape Demon Clan.
Wanci can be considered half an heir of the Ape Demon clan, and he has also learned the immortal arts of the Ape Demon clan.
Then came the part of presenting gifts and wishing someone a happy birthday.
Kaguya walked slowly forward, her figure aloof, and gently presented a beautifully framed painting to Manji.
"I drew this myself to wish you a happy birthday."
Kaguya looked at Manji and said.
Wanci raised his hand to receive it and slowly unfurled the scroll.
What unfolds before your eyes is not the ink painting commonly seen in the ninja world, but a brightly colored oil painting.
The person in the painting is himself, holding the Six Paths Sword, his posture upright like a pine tree, with the Golden Cudgel, which was transformed from the White Ape King, floating in the air behind him, surrounded by spiritual light.
The ten tails at his feet bowed their heads and lay in wait, exuding a majestic aura. The whole scene was imposing and awe-inspiring.
She looks better than the one Yu Yi drew of herself back then.
Wanci looked at the scene in the painting, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he nodded with a smile.
"It's beautifully drawn, Kaguya. I really like it."
Wan Ciwen smiled warmly.
Then came the toad pills.
"Teacher, this is a toy car I made. It can drive, although it can't travel a thousand miles a day, but you can just use it as a toy."
Gamamaru laughed and handed the reel containing the toy car to Manji.
Wanci smiled and nodded, accepting the gift.
After that, Fukasaku and Black Zetsu sent it together.
The two presented him with a giant paper book.
"My sage, this is the complete book of the ninja world that we two have jointly compiled."
The two of them said respectfully together.
"Good, not bad!"
Wanci smiled slightly after seeing it.
After that came Shima Abi, and the disciples and grand-disciples of Mount Myōboku, who were descendants of the toad who had previously been the monk Manjishu.
But the more he did it, the less attentive he became.
Because the nine tailed beasts did not come.
I remember I already instructed Bai Jue to send them a message.
Manji still really wanted to see the nine tailed beasts on his birthday.
It was on Wanci's birthday.
A major event has occurred in the ninja world.
Eight clans unite to boldly capture the Tailed Beast!
