Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

Chapter 135: Surrounded by Snakes, Black Dragon's Identity



"My name is Uchiha Ryun!"

Ryun confidently announced his name. In his view, this black serpent had already been subdued and was now his exclusive summoning snake...

"What is your name?"

"My name is Black Dragon... You..."

Before Black Dragon could finish speaking, the next moment, with a "poof," it exploded into smoke. Not just it, but Ryun also vanished in an instant. Both man and serpent were forcibly reverse-summoned to Ryūchi Cave.

"Ah???"

Ryun was completely baffled.

At this moment, not only was he confused, but Black Dragon, who had returned to Ryūchi Cave, was equally bewildered.

"Long'er, is this the guy who summoned you? I reverse-summoned him here. Whether you want to eat him or tear him apart is up to you!"

The White Snake Sage coldly stared at the tiny human before her.

"Eh???"

Surrounded by a large group of glaring snakes of various colors, Ryun's mouth hung open, and he froze on the spot.

He had been reverse-summoned to Ryūchi Cave and was now encircled by a horde of giant snakes...

'Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on???'

In this situation, even if he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan on the spot, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the combined assault of Ryūchi Cave's snakes!

Wasn't it just a matter of summoning a few disobedient little snakes while practicing the Summoning Technique in the morning? More snakes had died because of Orochimaru's summoning, yet Ryūchi Cave never bothered him for it...

'Wait, this is because of Black Dragon...' Ryun turned his gaze toward Black Dragon.

This guy's status in Ryūchi Cave was clearly unusual. Among the entire group of snakes, only it had grown four legs, making it the most dragon-like...

'Did they find out about me beating it up and forcing it to submit?'

Thinking of this, Ryun subconsciously gulped, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Now he somewhat understood the severity of the situation... and he was utterly panicked... If he had known this would happen, he would never have dared to pull such a stunt...

Let's be reasonable. After Uchiha Sasuke killed Manda, Ryūchi Cave never gave him any trouble... So why was it that just by threatening a big black snake, it felt like he had stirred up a hornet's nest, with all the snakes seemingly out for his blood?

Black Dragon had horns, and so did Manda—four of them, in fact. Sasuke was an Uchiha, and Ryun was also an Uchiha... So why was he the only one receiving this "special treatment" of being welcomed by thousands of snakes?

"Uh... Let's talk this out. I just signed a summoning contract with your cave yesterday. We're practically allies now. There's no need to jump straight to killing or dismembering..."

Ryun raised his hands, forcing an awkward smile as he proactively backed down, his face deathly pale.

"Who said we're allies? You summoned Black Dragon twice—once leaving it severely injured, and once forcibly summoning it while it was weakened. What exactly were you scheming, you little brat?"

The White Snake glared at Ryun with sinister eyes, its raised scales signaling its fury. Its massive serpentine body radiated a boiling surge of senjutsu chakra!

'This level of chakra... It's probably even more exaggerated than a tailed beast!!!'

Ryun was nearly crushed under the terrifying pressure.

Through his Three Tomoe Sharingan, he could see that this White Phosphorus Snake had compressed an unfathomable amount of senjutsu chakra within its body, making it glow brightly even on the outside.

"Your... your Black Dragon is still alive and well, isn't it?"

Ryun struggled to force out these words.

His entire body felt weak, and the only reason he hadn't collapsed was because he was using chakra to support himself. Though his body was weak, his mouth remained stubborn...

Hearing this, the White Phosphorus Snake paused for a moment before turning to Black Dragon, letting it decide whether Ryun lived or died.

"Heh... Scared now, little guy?" Black Dragon suddenly slithered closer, sneering at him mockingly.

"I... I'm not scared at all. I believe Brother Black Dragon is a trustworthy and honorable dragon. You wouldn't actually eat me, right?" Ryun forced an ingratiating smile, his expression both humble and flattering.

"Oh? Weren't you just saying I wasn't worthy of being called a dragon? How come you changed your tune in just a few minutes? I much preferred your earlier, unyielding attitude..."

Black Dragon chuckled sarcastically, deliberately circling Ryun once.

"What?! This brat actually dared to be so arrogant? He said Lord Black Dragon isn't a dragon?!"

One of the Snake Princesses spoke up furiously, while the other two immediately let out eerie hisses.

In an instant, not just the three Snake Princesses, but all the giant snakes began emitting terrifying hisses. The sight and sound alone were enough to scare the courage out of anyone.

Faced with this scene, Ryun, after a brief moment of panic, strangely calmed down.

"So you're planning to gang up on me with your numbers?"

"And what if we are? Even Orochimaru wouldn't dare speak to us like this. A mere human brat like you actually dares to provoke Lord Black Dragon? You've got a death wish..."

Manda, from within the crowd of snakes, spoke up scornfully. It knew about Ryun's relationship with Orochimaru.

This brat had even served it meals before... In its eyes, he was nothing more than an ant-like existence, completely undeserving of respect.

"Shut up! What right does a useless snake like you have to speak to me?" Ryun suddenly shouted.

His arrogant words momentarily stunned many of the snakes, and his Three Tomoe Sharingan glowed blood-red, exuding an intense mental pressure.

"Brat, you're asking for death..."

Manda reared up, and in the next moment, it lunged forward like an arrow, its attack swift and vicious, enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat.

Ryun coldly stared at it, not moving an inch, letting it charge straight at him.

Just as Manda was about to reach Ryun, a powerful, thick dragon tail struck it with tremendous force, sending it flying.

Caught off guard, Manda's massive body was sent tumbling dozens of meters away, the sheer force of the tail strike evident in how far it rolled.

"Lord Black Dragon! You..."

After struggling for a while, Manda finally managed to get up.

"Did I tell you to attack? If you dare to disrespect me like this again, I won't hesitate to swallow you alive!" Black Dragon growled darkly.

Black Dragon had originally coiled its long, massive body around Ryun, encircling him. For Manda to leap over its body and attack Ryun was, in its eyes, nothing short of a provocation.

"I... I understand..."

After being slapped down, Manda immediately became docile. It lowered its head in acknowledgment before slithering deeper into Ryūchi Cave, not daring to linger any longer...

Whether in strength or status, Manda was far inferior to Black Dragon. In terms of brutality and temperament, it couldn't compare to Black Dragon either.

Black Dragon was of noble birth, the White Phosphorus Snake's own child. In Ryūchi Cave, eating its own kind was perfectly legal. If it ever felt like eating Manda one day, even the White Snake Sage might not intervene.

Due to her advanced age, the White Phosphorus Snake had lost the ability to lay eggs.

Over the past thousand years, Black Dragon was her only remaining child, and she doted on it unconditionally. No matter what it did, she supported it without question.

Even if it ate other snakes, she didn't care, claiming it was just culling the weak and sickly, which was good for Ryūchi Cave's healthy development...

And now, Black Dragon had successfully transformed into a dragon. What did Manda have to compete with that?

If it dared to talk back, it wouldn't even need Black Dragon to deal with it—the White Phosphorus Snake wouldn't let it off the hook...
