My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

After Uchiha Touhuan saw through Ryuchi Cave's illusion, Tashin no longer bothered to maintain the illusion and simply walked deeper into the cave.

Soon, two girls dressed similarly to Princess Tashin arrived.

The youngest among them, the Ryuchi Cave Fairy named Ichikishima-hime, looked at Uchiha Touhuan with a slightly dissatisfied gaze and muttered, "We finally got a trial participant, and this is how it turns out. How boring."

Ichikishima-hime's sarcastic remarks went unnoticed by Uchiha Touhuan, who simply followed the three of them.

As they got closer to the White Snake Immortal's cave, petrified human remains began to appear on both sides of the cave.

However, Uchiha Touhuan's expression remained completely unchanged in the face of all this.

At this moment, Princess Ichikishima couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious about what these are?"

"They're nothing more than failures who didn't pass the Sage Trials before," Uchiha Touhuan laughed. "If you want to pursue power, you naturally have to be prepared to fail."

"Mr. Douhuan is indeed insightful." At this moment, the last fairy, Tuanjin-hime, said, "I hope you can successfully pass the final trial, otherwise we will have no choice but to painfully taste Mr. Douhuan's flavor."

Soon, the three of them led Uchiha Touhuan to the deepest part of Ryuchi Cave. The dim light flickered, and on the throne deep in the cave, a large white serpent was coiled. Several golden rings were wrapped around the white serpent's body, with various inscriptions engraved on them. At the same time, the two huge dragon horns on the top of the white serpent's head also indicated that the white serpent had embarked on the path of dragon transformation.

The three people in front of Uchiha Touhuan bowed.

"Alright, you three, step back. Let me have a proper chat with this Mr. Uchiha Touhuan." The white snake on the throne shifted its body, the friction of its scales producing a rustling sound.

"Yes." The three fairy maidens nodded and stepped back.

After the three fairy maidens left, a while later, the White Snake Immortal spoke slowly and deliberately: "In all these years, you are still the first descendant of Indra to come here."

"Indra?" Uchiha Touhuan asked knowingly, "Is he one of our Uchiha clan's ancestors?"

"That's not wrong, but this Indra is the original source of your Uchiha clan's bloodline," said the White Snake Sage.

"The original ancestor of the Uchiha clan?" Uchiha Touhuan nodded. "It seems the White Snake Sage has seen him. No wonder there are rumors that the sages of the three holy lands all have long lifespans."

"No, I don't have much interaction with Indra. I only know about his experiences. After all, he was the founder of the Ninja Sect and one of the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths," said the White Snake Sage.

"So, does that mean we Uchiha are descendants of the legendary Sage of Six Paths?" Uchiha Touhuan said.

"That's not wrong," the White Snake Immortal nodded.

"I never imagined that one day I would become a descendant of a sage." Uchiha Touhuan's face revealed a playful expression. "So, why did the White Snake Sage tell me these secrets? Is it because Ryuchi Cave has been lying dormant for too long and is now restless, wanting to influence the human world like Mount Myōboku? Let me make it clear, I am not like Jiraiya, that person in the ninja world who was unprecedentedly controlled by a summoning beast. I will not spend my life chasing after some vague prophecy."

"No, Ryuchi Cave has never cared about the human world. I was just expressing my feelings as an old woman," said the White Snake Sage. "But aren't you even a little curious about the story of your ancestors?"

"What's there to be curious about? Human history is pretty much the same old story. Are there really any differences between humans from ten thousand years ago and humans today?" Uchiha Touhuan said.

"Hahaha." The White Snake Sage laughed after hearing Uchiha Touhuan's words. "Over the years, although I have spent most of my time in slumber, when I am awake, I have witnessed the long-standing battles between the descendants of Ashura and Indra. There are many talented individuals among them, but you are the most special one."

"Ashura? The ancestor of the Senju clan?" Uchiha Touhuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, and the Uzumaki clan, who are also his descendants," the White Snake Sage added.

"It seems our two families are truly sworn enemies, whose brains have been splattered together since our ancestors' time," Uchiha Touhuan laughed.

"Over the years, I've seen many people come seeking the power of a sage, but you are the only one I truly hope will succeed. The ninja world will take a different path under your influence; you've piqued even my curiosity." The White Snake Sage looked at Uchiha Touhuan. "Extend your hand."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touhuan extended his left hand and simultaneously removed his wrist guard.

The White Snake Sage on the throne slowly leaned over and bit Uchiha Touhuan's wrist.

A slightly violent surge of natural energy was injected into Uchiha Tohkan's body from the White Snake Sage's fangs.

Uchiha Touhuan grunted, and in no time, snake scales appeared on the surface of his body. His body began to transform into the shape of a snake, and his feet began to petrify.

After returning to his throne, the White Snake Sage quietly watched this scene. Unlike Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave did not care about the character and will of those who came to seek Sage Mode, but it also lacked protective measures like the black rods that forced out natural energy, as seen in Mount Myoboku. Everyone who came to seek Sage Mode had only one chance, even though the White Snake Sage highly regarded Uchiha Touhuan.

Just when the White Snake Sage thought that Uchiha Touhuan would also become one of the many skeletons in Ryuchi Cave, Uchiha Touhuan suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, the lightning tomoe in his left eye spun rapidly, and tears of blood gushed out.

Within Uchiha Touhuan's body, the Sage Chakra that was surging wildly just a second ago stabilized instantly, merging with the physical and mental energy that make up the chakra, the three becoming perfectly integrated.

His petrified legs rapidly recovered, the snake scales on his body disappeared, and the snake-like marks on his face gradually vanished. Only a narrow vertical pupil appeared in the center of the three lightning bolt tomoe in his Mangekyou Sharingan, and a circle of purple eyeshadow appeared around his eyes.

Uchiha Touhuan wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, feeling the power brought by the Sage Chakra and the nourishment of his eye power, which had been overused in a moment, by the natural energy. He couldn't help but laugh loudly.
