Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Finally Mastering Sage Mode!
Akira Uchiha didn't feel the slightest bit of regret as he watched one million ryo vanish in an instant. He immediately started up the Life Simulator again.
[You used reverse summoning and arrived at Ryuchi Cave!]
[Due to your connection with Manda, the snakes in Ryuchi Cave already know of your existence and aren't surprised by your arrival.]
[You meet a beautiful young woman, and after you reveal your intention to learn Sage Mode, she doesn't refuse. Instead, she warmly invites you to a meal!]
[You think to yourself that maybe not all the snakes in Ryuchi Cave are vicious-after all, Aoda seems pretty gentle, right? You thank her and enjoy the feast.]Nôv(el)B\\jnn
[As you savor the food, you silently congratulate yourself on choosing Ryuchi Cave. You can feast here, whereas in Mount Myōboku, you'd only get to eat bugs!]
[Suddenly, the beautiful young woman opens her mouth wide and transforms into a fierce snake-woman!]
[You get eaten!]
"Damn snake-women!" Akira cursed as he stared at the results from the Life Simulator. It seemed that he had been eaten not long after arriving at Ryuchi Cave. The simulation had made the woman seem beautiful and friendly, but she'd turned on him in an instant and devoured him. Clearly, Ryuchi Cave was far more dangerous than Mount Myōboku!
At least in Mount Myōboku, the danger of turning into a stone statue was real, but the toads wouldn't outright eat you! But then again, having the Life Simulator as a guide made navigating this danger a bit more manageable.
Originally, Akira had planned to quickly use reverse summoning to head to Ryuchi Cave and start his training, but after seeing how dangerous it was, he decided to take his time.
After taking a day to rest and clear his mind, Akira decided to try again. After all, he still had over 20 million ryo left. When he was learning the Eighth Gate, he had spent who knows how much money-spending a bit more to master Sage Mode was well worth it. If he succeeded, he could potentially stop relying on the first seven gates of the Eight Gates technique altogether.
The second simulation began.
[You encounter the same beautiful young woman again and learn her name: Tanshin Hime, one of the high-ranking members under the White Snake Sage.]
[She invites you to a meal again, but this time you keep a cold, wary eye on her, ready to activate the Eight Gates at a moment's notice.]
[After a few minutes pass and she notices you haven't touched the food, Tanshin Hime tells you that you've passed the test.]
[You realize that the meal was actually a test of your vigilance!]
[As you venture deeper into Ryuchi Cave, you meet another beautiful woman named Ichikishima Hime.]
[You remain on guard, but Ichikishima Hime uses a giant boulder to block your way out, forcing you to fill the holes in the boulder with crystals.]
[Your chakra is quickly drained!]
[Once your chakra is depleted, Ichikishima Hime eats you.]
So, do the snakes in Ryuchi Cave really just enjoy eating people, even if they're contracted summoners? Akira found himself wondering if the summoning contract was just a way for these snakes to lure in fresh meals. Orochimaru probably survived because he offered up a thousand human sacrifices every time he summoned Manda, feeding the entire Ryuchi Cave and keeping himself off the menu. No wonder Orochimaru had agreed so easily when Akira asked to sign the Ryuchi Cave contract!
Akira couldn't help but think that maybe these snakes were feeding off their summoners. After being eaten twice in a row, it was hard not to be suspicious. Shaking off these disturbing thoughts, Akira focused on the more important takeaway: he wasn't eaten immediately upon arrival but during the trials. In the second trial, it seemed like his chakra reserves were insufficient.
Was his chakra level, even at the Kage level, still not enough? Fine then, it was time to level up some more!
But he was resolute-if this attempt failed, he was prepared to try again. After all, Sage Mode was essential for fighting against the Rinnegan. If it cost 20 million, or even 200 million,
Akira would pay without hesitation.
The twenty-second simulation began.
[You return to Ryuchi Cave to train in Sage Mode, remaining unfazed by Tanshin Hime's
attempts to tempt you with food.]
[You defeat Ichikishima Hime with ease, passing her trial.]
[The illusionary trial set by Takitsuhime poses no challenge to you, as your Sharingan is unparalleled in handling illusions.]
[You meet the White Snake Sage, who bites you and injects natural energy into your body.]
[You effortlessly balance your spiritual energy, physical energy, and natural energy,
stabilizing your chakra!]
[The White Snake Sage looks at you in astonishment!]
[With perfect fusion of the three energies, you generate Sage Chakra. You've successfully
mastered Sage Mode!]
[Five years later, your chakra has increased by 30%, and you die in a battle against Pain.]
[Please choose a reward from the simulation.]
[Option 1: Retain all the knowledge, skills, and combat experience you've gained!]
[Option 2: Retain the increased chakra reserves!]
[Option 3: Retain the awakened bloodline state!]
"I did it!" Akira's eyes lit up with excitement as he realized he had finally succeeded in
mastering Sage Mode.
