Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"You are the one who took the trial I carefully prepared for for nothing?!"

Snake scales appeared on Princess Ichikishima's face, and the black eye shadow extended to the wings of her nose. Her whole face became ferocious, revealing sharp fangs and a pink snake tongue. She was angry that the trial she had carefully prepared for was being belittled in such a way.

"A carefully prepared trial? Huh..."

Orochimaru chuckled and let go of Ichikishima-hime. She came to Ryuchi Cave not to get angry with inexplicable people, but to learn Sage Mode.

"You, you will never see the White Snake Immortal!"

Ichikishima-hime said angrily. This was the first time that the trial she had carefully prepared for was belittled as worthless.

Suddenly, a figure pounced on Orochimaru, opened his mouth wide and bit her neck. The moment the sharp teeth touched her skin, the sealing technique crawled all over her body along the sharp teeth.

"Is this... a sealing technique?"

Princess Tsuzu reluctantly turned her head to see the sealing technique on her body.

"This is the Curse Binding Seal. After I learned the Sealing Technique, I got used to setting trigger seals on my body. This is to prevent someone from attacking me without my knowledge."

Orochimaru looked at Princess Tatsuzu who was sealed and unable to move. Although she could use senjutsu chakra, her strength was not as strong as she had expected.

"I didn't expect you to place such a powerful seal on yourself."

Princess Tsuzu tried to break free from the binding seal, but Orochimaru's binding seal was not so easy to break free from.

"So, what is your trial?"

Orochimaru realized that if he didn't pass the test of the woman in front of him, he would never be able to see the White Snake Sage.

"Willpower, my test is your willpower. What do you think? Accept the test, or just go back like this?"

Princess Tsuzu looked at Orochimaru and showed no intention of breaking free from the curse seal.

"I accept your trial, but you cannot bite my neck."

Orochimaru untied the curse seal on Princess Tsuchigumo and stretched out his arm for her to bite. It always felt weird to be bitten on the neck.

Princess Tanzu looked at Orochimaru's cold white arms, and the place he wanted to bite more was her neck.

In the original work, Orochimaru loves biting people's necks so much... Could he have learned it from her?

Orochimaru felt the look in Tsuzuki-hime's eyes on her neck, stretched out his arm in front of her and waved it, urging her, "Hurry up, how long are you going to make me wait?"

Princess Tanzu opened her mouth and bit Orochimaru's arm, deliberately using a little force as a way of getting back at her.

Orochimaru frowned slightly, realizing that Tatsumi-hime was deliberately biting him hard. He felt his body begin to heat up, and he sat cross-legged on the ground, hallucinations beginning to appear before his eyes.

"Orochimaru, you have fallen... I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let you go."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with regret.

Mr. Sarutobi, have you traveled through time?

"Orochimaru, the position of the Fourth Hokage should have been yours. Hiruzen has gone too far. He doesn't even trust his own disciples? You chose Namikaze Minato so that you can better control him..."

Danzo Shimura had a sinister look on his face, with anger towards Sarutobi Hiruzen in his eyes.

Lord Danzo, even if I gave you the position of Hokage now, you wouldn't want to be it, okay?

"Orochimaru, why did you leave? Aren't we companions?"

Jiraiya had a look of shock on his face and looked at Orochimaru with disappointment.

Jiraiya, why did you show up here, you idiot?

"Orochimaru, if you had changed earlier, Jiraiya might not have died..."

Tsunade hung her head in sadness.

Hey, look carefully, Jiraiya is right next to you! You'll have to wait decades before you say that, right? Can you please stop being so childish?

Orochimaru held his chin with both hands, looking at these illusions talking to themselves in silence. None of them matched the ones she knew. They all came from the original work.

So that's how it is. These illusions are formed based on my memories. Are they looking for the things in my memories that are most likely to shake me, in order to wear down my willpower?

As a result, it became this ridiculous thing.

Really, there is nothing new about it!

"Unfortunately, these illusions of yours are useless to me. They cannot shake my mind or weaken my will. I know what I want and what I am pursuing."

Orochimaru stood up and looked in the direction of Tatsumihime.

"What an amazing little girl."

The illusion around Orochimaru vanished, and the surroundings changed, appearing in front of the temple in Ryuchi Cave.

"This is in front of the White Snake Immortal's temple. The power of the immortal you are pursuing is here."

Princess Tsuzu looked towards the temple behind her, her eyes falling on Orochimaru. "So, can you get the power you want?"

"I think I should be able to get the power I want. Even if not, I am sure I can leave safely."

Orochimaru walked past Princess Tatsuzu, pushed open the door of the temple and walked in. What came into view was a spacious hall. Right in front of it was a huge dragon head, biting a huge scroll with the three big words "Ryuchidong" written on it in its mouth.

A giant white snake lazily coiled itself against the chaise longue. It slowly opened its eyes, looked at Orochimaru, and teased, "Orochimaru, you're using my name to start a company and brand your products. Shouldn't you pay me royalties?"

"You're not the only white snake in the world. Besides, your logo and ours have nothing in common except the color of our scales."

Orochimaru looked at the White Snake Sage lazily leaning on the chaise longue, and felt that if he used it as a trademark, the sales volume of the product would drop significantly.

"What an unpleasant little girl."

Before the White Snake Sage finished speaking, the scroll that the dragon head was holding in its mouth fell in front of Orochimaru.

"Since you have passed the trial, I will allow you to sign a spiritual contract with Longdi Cave. As for the power of the immortal, it depends on whether you can withstand it."

The White Snake Immortal narrowed his long and narrow snake eyes.

Volume 107: Chapter : Shedding Skin and Transforming into a Dragon

The scroll of the Ryuchi Cave Contract opened automatically. Orochimaru bit his finger and wrote his name on the scroll and pressed his fingerprint on it. After he did all this, the scroll closed automatically and returned to the dragon head's mouth.

"Then, it depends on whether you can hold on."

The White Snake Sage's body suddenly stretched out, opened his mouth to reveal his sharp fangs, bit through Orochimaru's clothes and penetrated deep into her body, injecting natural energy!

Orochimaru let out a cry of pain, and white snake scales grew visibly all over his body.

The natural energy that passed through the White Snake Sage as a transit point clearly took on the characteristics of a snake. If Orochimaru didn't do anything, she would soon transform into a white snake.

At the same time, in the laboratory and the island experimental base, Orochimaru's shadow clone was affected by the original body.

"Master Orochimaru!"

The people who were assisting the shadow clones in their research in the various rooms of the laboratory looked in horror at Lord Orochimaru, whose body was covered with dense white snake scales.

"Calm down, continue your research...don't worry about me."

Orochimaru touched the snake scales on his face and looked at the dense white snake scales on the back of his hand.

Did the main body find the Dragon Cave so quickly?

boom--!

The shadow clones all released their shadow clone techniques.

Experimental Base

Orochimaru's shadow clone, transformed into the appearance of Si, felt very troubled. Uchiha Madara would be coming soon, and that guy would come to the experimental base for a stroll every once in a while.

Orochimaru wondered if Uchiha Madara was thinking of strolling around the experimental base as a walk.

"Master Si, are you okay?"

The people around noticed that something was wrong with Si.

"I have to leave for a while because of something urgent. When Lao Deng comes, tell him that I have to leave the experimental base for a while."

As she spoke, she released the Shadow Clone Technique. Affected by her original body's transformation into a snake, she couldn't even maintain the transformation technique if she continued to dawdle.

In the temple hall deep within the Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru's transformation into a snake continued.

"If you don't want to become my food, then feel the natural energy in your body and combine your physical and mental energies to extract senjutsu chakra. If you can't do it, you will soon become a snake, and I will eat you before you become a snake."

The White Snake Immortal stretched out his long tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. His voice was full of anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to swallow Orochimaru into his stomach, but because she hadn't transformed into a snake yet, he could only wait patiently.

"It's not that easy to eat me..."

Orochimaru opened his eyes, crawled up from the ground, sat on the ground, and tried hard not to move because of the pain. Scales were growing all over his body every moment. The snake transformation of his body was not like the frog transformation of Uzumaki Naruto when he was learning the Sage Mode, which was without feeling.

Orochimaru was very clear about the current situation. Panic and fear would not help and would not slow down his transformation into a snake. He calmed himself down, got rid of the interference caused by the changes in his body, and felt the natural energy in his body with all his heart and soul. He tried to combine chakra with natural energy to extract fairy chakra.

Slowly, the speed at which snake scales grew on Orochimaru's body slowed down.

This child is really talented...

Have you been able to control and guide natural energy to refine fairy chakra?

When the White Snake Sage saw the changes in Orochimaru's body, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As I guessed...

Whether it is the natural energy of Mount Myoboku or Ryuchi Cave, it carries the characteristics of Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave... This is why the characteristics of a toad appear on the body of Myoboku Mountain's Sage Mode to a greater or lesser extent.

Longdi Cave is about shedding the skin of a snake and turning into a dragon!

Orochimaru concentrated his mind, trying to master the natural energy in his body, and sensed the natural energy everywhere, trying to absorb the natural energy into his body and mix it with chakra to refine it into fairy chakra.

As time passed, Orochimaru's transformation into a snake did not stop, but instead began to accelerate. Dense white snake scales covered his entire body, and he turned from a human into a white snake.

"Failed?"

The White Snake Sage looked at Orochimaru, who had completely transformed into a white snake. He opened his mouth and was about to swallow her into his stomach, but when he noticed that natural energy was gathering on her body, he stopped.

"This is……"

Have you completed Sage Mode?

The White Snake Sage thought that Orochimaru could not reach the perfect sage mode, but what she did not expect was that Orochimaru could actually sense the existence of natural energy through the natural energy she injected into her body.

Orochimaru, who transformed from a human into a white snake, did not stop refining the fairy chakra. His body shape gradually changed from a snake to a human, and the snake skin on his body became dull.

Two pairs of corners pierced the snake skin, and a pair of cold white hands stretched out from the snake skin, grabbed the edge of the snake skin and tore it!

Orochimaru crawled out of the snake skin with sticky liquid on his body, his thick black hair was scattered on his body, two pairs of porcelain white horns grew on both sides of his head, and a white snake tail extended from his tail vertebrae and fell to the ground.

"Master White Snake Immortal, I've told you... it's not that easy to eat me..."

Orochimaru raised his head, and the purple eye shadow on his eyes did not change because of the activation of Sage Mode, and his sclera turned black.

Is this Sage Mode?

Perception capabilities have been improved several times.

The strength of the body is also... Senjutsu Chakra, what a powerful force!

It’s even better than I thought!

Orochimaru clenched his fists, carefully feeling the changes in his body. He looked at the Yin Seal on his wrist that had not disappeared due to the transformation, and turned to look at the extra snake tail behind him.

Should I be glad that you grew up behind me?

Thinking of the white snake that grew out of Kabuto Yakushi's abdomen in Sage Mode, Orochimaru felt that it would be more reasonable and more beautiful for it to grow on the tail vertebrae.

The snake's tail swung, and it turned into a white snake with its mouth open and hissing.

Orochimaru suddenly had a feeling of controlling two things at once. She saw herself through the perspective of the white snake, and she could see the white snake. This white snake was a part of her body, an existence that she could control at will.

Perfect Sage Mode...

very good!

The research can now proceed to the next step.

Wait…I’ve become more mature?

Orochimaru noticed that his appearance had jumped directly from 14 to 18 years old, and his figure was also better. Fortunately, his breasts did not increase much, and were far less than the future Tsunade.

It’s okay, it’s okay as long as she grows up a little, just hope her bust size isn’t as exaggerated as Tsunade’s.

"Haven't you adapted to your current body yet?"

The White Snake Sage watched the subtle changes in Orochimaru's expression, squinting his eyes, as if he saw something interesting. He could see everything that happened in Ryuchi Cave, and naturally saw how she passed the tests of Tanashimaru, Ichikishimahime, and Tsuzuhime.

"I've adapted. The power of Sage Mode surprised me. It's even more powerful than I expected!"
