Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

However, Yu Ming's physique was originally quite special, and it could even be said that his potential far exceeded that of the Otsutsuki clan.

Therefore, Yu Ming himself did not find it strange that he had mastered the perfect level of Sage Mode.

The White Snake Sage was quite surprised, after all, besides Yu Ming, only Senju Hashirama, the direct descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, and the reincarnation of Ashura, had learned it.

Moreover, the immortal techniques they learned were not from the three holy lands.

Yu Ming, like the Sage of Six Paths, learned the immortal techniques of the three holy lands. However, unlike the Sage of Six Paths, Yu Ming learned the immortal techniques of the Dragon Land Cave.

After Yu Ming mastered the perfect level of Sage Mode, he could enter Sage Mode instantly without needing to gather Sage Chakra like Naruto or Jiraiya did at the beginning.

Moreover, it can last for a long time; if Yu Ming wanted to, he could maintain it for an entire day without any problem.

If we're talking about who in Ryuchi Cave was the happiest about Yu Ming mastering Sage Mode, it would probably be Shinya.

After all, it is now Yu Ming's contracted spirit beast.

After sensing Yu Ming's successful cultivation, Xin Ya, waiting outside the underground palace, wrapped itself around the stone pillar several times, expressing its joy.

Meanwhile, Wanshe looked at Xinya and couldn't understand it at all. This guy used to have an even more irritable temper than him and hated humans even more. How come he's now become a human's summoning beast and is so happy that humans have successfully cultivated immortal techniques?

Looking at Shinya, who remained silent but was coiled around a massive stone pillar, Manda shouted, "Hey, Shinya, calm down! Don't forget how you treated humans before. That guy only learned some magic; it's not like no one in Ryuchi Cave has ever learned magic before!"

Over the past thousand years, it's not that no one has ever learned immortal arts on the three holy lands; Wan She has seen this kind of thing many times.

However, Xin Ya completely ignored Wan She, feeling happy that Yu Ming had mastered Sage Mode.

After all, Yu Ming is now his master.

Xin Ya is different from Wan She. After it made a contract with a human, it sometimes disobeyed orders, but it still regarded its contractor as a very important person. Otherwise, it wouldn't have hated its former contractor so much when it was attacked.

Manda is simply violent.

Now it has come to recognize Yu Ming as its master again, and it has learned from what Yu Ming said before, thus tempering its temper.

It no longer wanted to be attacked by its contractors for disobeying orders.

Inside the underground palace, the three goddesses gazed at Yu Ming's exquisite facial makeup, a celestial form completely different from that of previous cultivators.

Yu Ming's Sage Mode showed absolutely no signs of turning into a snake.

They've only ever seen one person like Yu Ming in all these years—a perfect immortal being.

Looking at the three goddesses, Yu Ming laughed and said, "Entering Sage Mode does indeed allow you to control an extremely large amount of Sage Chakra. My current amount of Sage Chakra is even comparable to the complete Nine-Tails, right?"

Yu Ming muttered to himself.

The three goddesses had never seen the Nine-Tails, but they felt that Yu Ming's current amount of Sage Chakra was even greater than theirs.

Yu Ming looked at the three goddesses, who had been guarding him for over a month. He smiled and said, "Thank you all for taking care of me these past few days."

The Three Goddesses smiled and said, "It's alright. We're happy to see a perfect-level Sage Mode cultivator appear."

Princess Ichikishima tugged at Yu Ming's clothes and laughed, "What a pity, I didn't get a chance to eat you. Yu Ming, your chakra and body must be delicious."

Yu Ming looked at the three of them speechlessly, but these three snakes really did eat people.

And they ate quite a lot.

Yu Ming knew very well that their disguise was intended to lure cultivators into practicing immortal arts. If they failed the test, the price would be being eaten by them.

Behind these three beautiful women lie countless skeletons.

Although Yu Ming was grateful to them, he also disliked the three of them very much.

Eating people might not seem like much to the snakes of Ryuchi Cave, but for Yu Ming, it was something he couldn't accept.

Chapter 107

Emerging from the underground palace, Yu Ming glanced at Xin Ya, who was circling a pillar, and frowned. "What's wrong with you?"

Wan She and Qing She were standing to the side, completely astonished by Yu Ming's appearance. "It's so perfect! Humans can actually cultivate immortal techniques so perfectly. I can't believe it."

Yu Ming didn't care about Wan She and Qing She, but looked at Xin Ya who was circling the pillar. Yu Ming wondered if this guy had some kind of illness.

After seeing Yu Ming, Xin Ya climbed down from the pillar.

He looked up at Yu Ming and asked, "You succeeded?"

Even though he already knew, Xin Ya still asked.

Yu Ming nodded. "Okay, I'm going back now. There's been a bit of trouble in Konoha. You'll come back with me; there's something I need you to do."

Xin Ya nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Although he didn't know what it was about, Xin Ya only knew that there was no harm in following Yu Ming's orders.

Wan She and Qing She were completely taken aback by Xin Ya's calm demeanor in front of Yu Ming, as if his reverse scale had no effect whatsoever.

Large snakes with scales that are not in contact with the prey are extremely irritable.

Even Wanshe and Qingshe dared not touch Xinya's sore spot.

Yu Ming formed hand seals and instantly appeared in Konoha Village from Ryuchi Cave.

They appeared right in front of the three-headed serpent.

The Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu were completely stunned. They had just lost several Jonin and a large number of Chunin to stop the three-headed serpent. Now, another serpent had appeared.

However, when Ibiki Morino saw Yu Ming from the rooftop, he breathed a sigh of relief, "This kid is finally back, he's finally saved."

The ANBU ninjas didn't know much about Yu Ming, but they often heard the Third Hokage mention him. Now that they actually saw him, they were truly shocked.

The main thing that shocked them was the presence of Xin Ya beneath Yu Ming's feet.

Its size was as huge as the three-headed serpent, and judging from its color, this serpent was no ordinary creature.

Yu Ming frowned as he looked at the buildings around him that had been destroyed by the three-headed serpent. "That guy is really strong. Xin Ya, are you confident you can defeat it?"

Actually, this giant snake was summoned by Orochimaru from Ryuchi Cave by Sunagakure. However, Shinja had been living in seclusion in Ryuchi Cave for many years, so he didn't know much about the three-headed snake.

However, it was clear that the three-headed serpent was indeed a serpent belonging to Ryuchi Cave.

Xin Ya laughed and said, "I'll kill one of these kinds of people as soon as I come."

The three-headed serpent was somewhat afraid when it saw Xin Ya. It had heard of Xin Ya's name before in Ryuchi Cave, and Xin Ya's strength in Ryuchi Cave was second only to the White Serpent Immortal. This guy also had a bad temper and had petrified many large serpents that had unintentionally provoked him.

This three-headed serpent knew it was no match for Xinya.

However, Orochimaru had already placed some cursed seals on it, making it impossible for it to leave.

They had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge towards Xin Ya.

Seeing the three-headed serpent actually attacking him, Xin Ya was a little annoyed. "It actually dares to take the initiative to attack. It seems that after I've been away for so many years, these idiots really think they can challenge me."

After saying that, Xin Ya darted out with a whoosh.

Speed ​​is like the wind, extremely fast; Sinya was originally known for his speed.

Of all the giant snakes in Ryuchi Cave, it is almost the fastest.

So in an instant, Xin Ya darted to the giant snake's side and bit down on one of its heads.

At the same time, his body rapidly coiled around the three-headed serpent.

The snake tightened its body, coiling itself around the three-headed snake, and then bit down hard with its massive mouth.

The venom was injected into the three-headed serpent.

The three-headed serpent originally intended to have its other heads bite Sinya's body.

Unfortunately, it suddenly felt its body rapidly turning to stone.

By the time the three-headed serpent realized the danger, it was too late.

The petrification was completed at lightning speed; in less than three seconds, the three-headed serpent had turned into a statue.

Everyone in the Dark Division was stunned. "This...this giant snake actually has the ability to petrify! This ability is terrifying! And this giant snake is so fast! The three-headed snake didn't even have time to react before it was entangled by it."

"Is this the power of Yu Ming's summoning beast? This giant snake has far surpassed the range that a Jonin can handle. Such a powerful snake is actually Yu Ming's summoning beast."

Yu Ming has been standing above Xin Ya since the beginning, so there's no need for him to lift a finger in this battle.

After dealing with the three-headed serpent, Yu Ming laughed and said, "Xin Ya, thanks. Take this guy back with you, don't leave it in the way."

In fact, people who are petrified can be saved in a short period of time.

However, he didn't care how Xin Ya dealt with the three-headed serpent.

Xin Ya laughed loudly, "It's been a long time since I've had such a good fight. Yu Ming, do you want me to take care of those ninjas for you?"

Yu Ming laughed and said, "No need, you should go back. You're too big and you might damage the village."

Xin Ya didn't insist and smiled, "Alright."

After saying that, he disappeared from Konoha Village along with the three-headed serpent.

After Xin Ya disappeared, Yu Ming stood on the roof.

Ibiki Morino walked over and said, "Yuming, where have you been all this time? If you had been in the village, this wouldn't have happened."

It's heartbreaking to even talk about this. Konoha, one of the five great ninja villages, actually needs to rely on a twelve-year-old child to maintain its safety.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "I went out to cultivate. How are the losses in the village, Captain Ibiki?"

Looking at the village, Ibiki Morino sighed, "Several Jonin have already died in battle to stop this three-headed serpent, and dozens of Chunin have been killed."

"Because there were Sunagakure ninjas assisting behind this three-headed serpent, many people died 247."

The Jonin that Morino Ibiki mentioned were basically Special Jonin. Even if a Jonin was no match for this three-headed serpent, he would generally not lose his life.

Moreover, the village doesn't have many Jonin; most of them are still fighting against the invading Sunagakure and Otogakure ninjas.

Yu Ming frowned, looked towards the arena, and calmly said, "That's the Third Hokage over there, right? I can sense Orochimaru's chakra, but the Third Hokage's chakra is very weak right now."

In fact, the Third Hokage had already used the Reaper Death Seal at this time.

Ibiki Morino said helplessly, "It was too sudden. Although we made some preparations beforehand, we did not expect Sunagakure to send so many ninjas and cooperate with Orochimaru. Moreover, that three-headed serpent caused us great losses. After this, I'm afraid Konoha's strength will be reduced by at least half."

Ibiki Morino was right. After this incident, Konoha lost nearly half of its ninjas, and many missions piled up.

This time, Sunagakure sent out more than a hundred elite ninjas to invade Konoha.

Many Konoha ninjas were killed before they even understood what was happening.

Especially this three-headed serpent; if Yu Ming hadn't arrived in time, it would probably have continued to wreak havoc for a long time, causing even greater damage. Apart from Yu Ming, Jiraiya, and the Third Hokage, no one in Konoha could have dealt with it.

Danzo might have a solution, but he and his Root organization are practically dead at this point, not showing themselves at all.
