Aomi stood in the center of Ryuchi Cave.
Before he could engage in conversation with the White Snake Sage, a sudden change occurred!
Though it was just a strand of Aomi's black hair turning red and white,
both the White Snake Great Sage and Senju Tobirama inside Aomi's body were intensely focused on him…
The red and white strand of ponytail seemed to symbolize the evolution between bloodlines, the dimensional gap between mortals.
"Shed the snakeskin and ascend as a dragon…"
The White Snake Great Sage could clearly observe everything happening in Ryuchi Cave, including the words exchanged between Aomi and Tagitsuhime.
Upon hearing those words for the first time, the White Snake Great Sage was quite fond of them, as this was the ultimate goal pursued by Ryuchi Cave—Dragon Transform!
Ryuchi Cave never rejects contract holders who are ambitious, possess desire, and have selfish motives, for only such a disposition can drive one forward on the solitary path of evolution, potentially achieving something significant.
Thus, the White Snake Great Sage had already acknowledged Aomi, especially after witnessing him subdue the three Snake Princesses…
Tagitsuhime, Ichikishimahime, Tagorihime…
The White Snake Great Sage knew these beautiful serpents well; they wouldn't obediently be taken in by Aomi unless they sensed sufficient benefit from him, peacefully acting as vessels for collecting Natural Energy.
Considering Aomi's theory of "Dragon Transform," the White Snake Great Sage was highly convinced of the potential in this young member of the Uchiha Clan…
Just as the White Snake Great Sage reached a conclusion, Aomi confirmed it by saying, you're not wrong!
"Otsutsuki, this is the aura of the Otsutsuki Clan, there's absolutely no mistake!"
Disregarding the so-called poise of a sage, the White Snake Great Sage narrowed its sharp serpent eyes, staring intently at Aomi…
What does it mean to become a dragon?
This is Dragon Transform!
A thousand years ago, an extraterrestrial visitor with such red and white hair, wielding Immortal Technique, suppressed the local life forms, planted the Divine Tree with an irresistible force, and drained the planet's life force.
This is the dragon in Ryuchi Cave's heart, soaring in the sky, unrivalled!
And within Aomi's body, Senju Tobirama focused on the dimming Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, emitting a red and white aura, growing increasingly heavy-hearted.
This was the first time!
Whether it was him, Uchiha Izuna, the ancient Uchihas, or the Tailed Beasts' Chakra, their influence on Aomi had always been internal, with at most an outburst and loss of control.
Always confined internally, never reflected externally, nor altering Aomi's body structure…
Senju Tobirama did not interrupt Aomi, waiting for his talk with the White Snake Great Sage.
After all, it was the leader of one of the Three Holy Lands, deserving a certain level of respect.
Moreover, when Aomi's hair color changed, Senju Tobirama keenly noticed the change in the White Snake Great Sage's expression…
For a sage to change, it indicated that the new power residing within Aomi must be immensely formidable and seemingly recognized by Ryuchi Cave.
[Detecting a strong surge of curiosity and investigation towards the host from the White Snake Great Sage, it has been bound as a target for confrontation!]
"Great White Snake Sage, I've come here to confirm a few matters…" Aomi slightly raised his eyes, his tone humble and courteous:
"It's about the Six Paths Sage and the Child of Prophecy from Mount Myoboku."
Before him, the White Snake Great Sage, in human form, appeared as an old lady with a deep purple cap, wrapped in a white fur cloak, her eyes narrowed to slits, yet smiling kindly.
Quite a peculiar sight.
Among the Three Holy Lands, even the relatively gentle Katsuyu Great Sage in Shikkotsu Forest maintained a beastly form.
Needless to say for Mount Myoboku; their Sage Mode even transforms people into frogs.
Yet in the reputedly violent Ryuchi Cave, the higher-ups are eager to assume human form…
Perhaps this stems from a pursuit of "Dragon Transform" and a resulting reverence for the Otsutsuki…
The White Snake Great Sage slightly lifted her hand, the ground seemed to come alive, gathering to form a comfortable and spacious chair: "Please take a seat, Aomi-kun."
Aomi expressed his gratitude and sat down comfortably, pondering over the marvel of this technique.
Probably "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation Jutsu"…
An Immortal Technique that activates and animates inanimate objects using life force, rather than simply using Chakra to manipulate existing matter.
A good Jutsu, time to steal, no, borrow…
"As the destined contract holder who passed the Ryuchi Cave trials, this old body's nature is to answer your questions."
The White Snake Sage cleared her throat, appearing as if she had been expecting Aomi's visit, a look of deep emotion on her face: "Please sign the Scroll first…"
Aomi blinked.
But didn't refuse; after all, he still had three beautiful snakes entwined around his arm, needing a proper explanation.
After signing the Summoning Contract, the White Snake Great Sage's demeanor brightened noticeably.
"Go ahead, Aomi-kun, ask what you wish." The White Snake Great Sage said, with a hint of anticipation.
No wonder a Dragon Transform individual resembling the Otsutsuki bloodline…
Unlike other ninjas who thirst for Sage Power, Aomi immediately delved into Six Paths level inquiries, playing the high-end game from the start.
"First, concerning the monument left by the Six Paths Sage."
Aomi spoke slowly:
"Within the Uchiha Clan's territory, there's a stele said to be left by the Six Paths Sage for future generations, inscribed with a way to eliminate conflicts, allowing people to understand each other and bring peace to the Ninja World forever, but only visible to those who have awakened the Sharingan."
