I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball - Chapter 286

“This trial’s purpose is to test your willpower. Under normal circumstances, I will bite a Shinobi, which will cast a Genjutsu on my target.”

Tagitsuhime said honestly.

She was not afraid of leaking the information about her trial. A Sage’s Genjutsu was not that easy to break that simply knowing you already fell victim to it wouldn’t break it.

“So that’s how it is. So your Genjutsu can only be activated when you bite someone?” Nagasawa said thoughtfully.

“Yes, White Snake Sage tells us to hold back during the trial. It all depends on how strong the challenger was.” Tagitsuhime had a somewhat vexed expression.

According to her judgment, Nagasawa should not be that powerful.

How could she make a wrong judgment? She did not assess Nagasawa with Sensory Ninjutsu, but Sage Technique.

“So that’s how it is.” Nagasawa finally understood why the examiners were weaker than they seemed.

He had Selfless State, which could conceal his true strength. Nagasawa could appear like an average person or even inexistent.

Ever since Fukasaku and Minato nearly blinded themselves after gauging his strength with Sage Mode, Nagasawa deliberately tempered with his strength using Selfless State.

He did not expect that these Sages would underestimate him and lower the difficulty of the trial because of that.

However, if Nagasawa did not hide his strength, there might be no need for him to take the trial. If they could sense Nagasawa’s true strength, they should take Nagasawa to the White Snake Sage.

“Can you let me bite you? I won’t hurt you. I’ll only bite you to place you in Genjutsu.” Tagitsuhime asked Nagasawa.

Nagasawa was amused by all the snakes in Ryuchi Cave including Tagitsuhime, but he outrightly refused,

“Sorry, I refuse. I already have a girlfriend. I can’t let other women bite me.”

“But I’m not a human. I’m a snake.” Tagitsuhime said seriously. After that, she opened her mouth and revealed the sharp fangs in her mouth, trying to prove that she wasn’t a human.

“My answer won’t change.” Nagasawa still refused.

“Humans are really a pain to deal with.” Tagitsuhime revealed a stressed expression. The man in front of her seemed to be difficult to deal with. Her surprise attack was unsuccessful and he refused to be bitten by her.

“How about I become your girlfriend for a minute?” Tagitsuhime hadn’t given up.

Nagasawa gave Tagitsuhime a thumbs-up and said, “You really are really clever, you know?”

“Is that a yes?” Tagitsuhime looked at Nagasawa expectantly, and her head was getting closer towards Nagasawa’s shoulder.

“Yes my ass. Moreover, a minute is not enough, I will consider if it’s at least an hour.” Nagasawa said as he smacked Tagitsuhime’s head.

However, because Tagitsuhime did not offend Nagasawa, he did not hit her as hard as he did before. He only flicked Tagitsuhime’s head back.

“It hurts!” Tagitsuhime screamed as she rubbed the place where Nagasawa flicked her.

Although Nagasawa didn’t hit her as hard force as before, Tagitsuhime felt that it was more painful than when she was smashed into the wall earlier because the area that Nagasawa flicked was smaller.

“Just let me pass and take me to White Snake Sage.” Nagasawa said as he unconcealed his true strength.

“No, the three trials were decided by the White Snake Sage. If you don’t take it seriously, you will be punished.” Tagitsuhime said seriously.

“Don’t worry, he will forgive you.” Nagasawa revealed a faint smile and said, “Try gauging my strength again.”

Tagitsuhime gauged Nagasawa’s strength and her expression instantly changed. She closed her eyes and took several steps back.

“So hot, so dazzling!”

“So, can you take me to see White Snake Sage?” Nagasawa said as he walked towards Tagitsuhime.

At this time, the huge white snake that was lying on a huge throne seemed to have sensed something. It raised its head and looked in the direction of Nagasawa.

He suddenly sensed a powerful aura earlier, but it soon disappeared. He thought it was just his imagination, but he did not expect that an extraordinary fellow would come to Ryuchi Cave. On top of that, that person had the annoying smell of a toad on him.

“Bring him here.” The White Snake Sage used a Secret Technique to order Tagitsuhime.

“Alright, I’ll bring you to see the White Snake Sage now.” Tagitsuhime noded.

Although she didn’t understand why the White Snake Sage would break the rules of her trial this time, but she just brushed it off since the White Snake Sage had made his decision.

Tagitsuhime used her Sage Technique to disperse the thick fog and brought Nagasawa to a temple in the depths of Ryuchi Cave.

After Nagasawa entered, he immediately saw White Snake Sage sitting in the form of an elderly lady, as well as Orochimaru who was standing not far away.

“Congratulations, young man. You have passed the Ryuchi Cave’s trial. You can now learn Ryuchi Cave’s Sage Mode. Come here, I will inject Senjutsu Chakra into you.”

White Snake Sage said to Nagasawa with an elderly lady smile.

“You don’t have to trouble yourself with that, White Snake Sage. I only need the information about Ryuchi Cave’s Sage Mode. You don’t need to inject Senjutsu Chakra into me.” Nagasawa stated his purpose.

“Oh, in that case, you must clear another trial.” The White Snake Sage said with the same smile.

“Go ahead and say it, White Snake Sage-sama.” Nagasawa thought for a moment and did not immediately refuse. He planned to see what tricks White Snake Sage had up his sleeve.

If the trial was too tricky and made Nagasawa feel that the White Snake Sage was toying with him, Nagasawa would have to taste the power of Ryuchi Cave’s Sage Technique firsthand today.

If it was not that tricky, Nagasawa might consider it.

“You’ll have to survive my attack.” The White Snake Sage said with a smile on his face.

“It is very simple, and it is up to you whether you want to try this additional trial or not. If you succeed, I will give what you just ask.”

“Since that is your trial, how could I not accept it? I will experience the might of a Sage firsthand today.” Nagasawa directly agreed.

It just so happened that he was also curious about the strength of the Sage Regions’ leaders.

Nagasawa had always been very cautious. All formidable opponents were mysterious, and the three Sage Regions that were shrouded in mystery weren’t an exception.

Unlike Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest, Ryuchi Cave seemed really dangerous. Just by looking at Orochimaru’s Summon Beast, he knew that it would ask for a sacrifice every time it was summoned.

It would be best if Dragon Cave was either a chaotic neutral or neutral evil.

The White Snake Sage dispelled his Genjutsu and reverted into his original form. It was a giant white snake!
