Uehara Naraku swiftly activated The Moment of Holy Judgment, with a golden barrier instantly fending off a swarm of incoming spikes, causing him to involuntarily furrow his brows.
Naraku suddenly reached out his palm towards the White Snake Sage, a chain flickered between the man and the snake, as Uehara Naraku brazenly used The Way of Others to steal the White Snake Sage's jutsu, hoping to find a way to counter it.
However, upon seeing the stolen jutsu, Uehara Naraku was on the verge of cursing the spell to hell, wondering why, among all the White Snake Sage's powers, he had stolen a skill that allowed him to view the past thousand-year history of the Ninja World.
What the hell use is that!
While he might not know the entire thousand-year history of the Ninja World like the back of his hand, Uehara was fully aware of the key events concerning the Otsutsuki Family.
Void Walking!
Naraku's body vanished in an instant, appearing in a cave beyond the temple a moment later. However, this entire cave was also covered with dense spikes!
Uehara Naraku could only swing his Void Blade to find a foothold for himself, finally glimpsing the entirety of the White Snake Sage.
An endless Giant White Snake!
Moreover, its body swiftly slithered through the spikes, expanding and contracting at will, even transforming into mist when it couldn't pass through!
How am I supposed to fight this?
Uehara Naraku felt utterly overwhelmed.
The battlefield already put him at a disadvantage. While the White Snake Sage could maneuver effortlessly through the forest of sharp spikes in Ryuchi Cave, Uehara Naraku still needed to carve out a foothold with his Void Blade.
He couldn't even cancel The Moment of Holy Judgment's invincibility, or else he'd be pierced through by countless spikes!
The White Snake Sage hadn't even unleashed its full power yet. By simply using Inorganic Reincarnation to animate inanimate objects and direct them to attack, it had already placed Uehara Naraku at a disadvantage.
Dammit, changing the battlefield is such a pain.
"Surrender, little one."
The White Snake Sage slowly coiled around a spike, speaking in a resonant voice, "Little one, tell me the name of your clan, and I might spare your life for the sake of a new clan."
"Heh... Just a long snake."
Naraku suddenly raised his head to look at the White Snake Sage, clasping his hands together and softly muttering, "Ninpo: Summoning Jutsu!"
Once again, he attempted to summon Gallio.
The White Snake Sage shook its head, sighing gently, "The Natural Energy in Ryuchi Cave is too dense, and with the summoning restriction barrier I've set up here, no ninja beast other than snake-type creatures can be summoned..."
As expected.
Naraku couldn't help but frown, having wasted his Chakra without a sight of Gallio, pondering just how powerful the White Snake Sage must be if not even a summoning beast could traverse here!
Fortunately, he did indeed have a snake-type summoning beast.
Okay, if snake people count as snake-type.
"Ninpo: Summoning Jutsu!"
Naraku wasn't in a hurry, simply quickly casting his summoning jutsu again: "Then let me see how beautiful the skin of Soul Lotus is!"
The sound of a puff of smoke echoed.
A stunning white tail suddenly knocked away a swath of spikes, and a captivating female voice unexpectedly emerged within Ryuchi Cave: "This environment really suits me!"
Uehara Naraku couldn't help but look up, greeted by the sight of a resplendent lavender robe draping over an enticingly delicate and alluring body.
A woman, her lips curled into a wicked smile, appeared before him, her face alluringly seductive, tempting, enticing?
Though she had a snake's tail for her lower body!
Embrace of the Serpent Cassiopeia (Soul Lotus)!
Uehara Naraku stared at her body, lamenting, his mind involuntarily recalling two men, one surnamed Xu and the other surnamed Lee.
This kind of thing, how can it be blamed on others?
At least she could be summoned now.
Naraku finally breathed a sigh of relief, considering that the summoning beast Cassiopeia shouldn't be too weak, given she required just as much Chakra as Gallio to summon.
The next moment, Uehara Naraku's entire expression collapsed!
The White Snake Sage merely glanced at Naraku's summoning beast, instantly manipulating countless barbs to pierce through Cassiopeia's body, dissolving the newly summoned snake woman into smoke.
Watching the snake woman's alluring figure disappear, Naraku's face turned dark, "So much Chakra was used for a summoning that couldn't even provide decent resistance, couldn't contribute to the battle at all, what was the point of bringing you out?"
