Yoruha looked at Sasuke and said calmly, "After we get back, let's go to Ryuchi Cave together." Sasuke was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. "Alright, I've been ready for this." Sasuke knew that Yoruha was going to accompany him to Ryuchi Cave.

Jiraiya chuckled, "Your team really is shaping up to be the new Sannin." Tsunade was naturally pleased to see this outcome. She glanced at Sakura, who had already become her disciple.

Sakura showed exceptional talent in medical ninjutsu, even surpassing Shizune by a significant margin.

Tsunade had plans to pass on her legacy to Sakura. However, with Sakura's current chakra levels, she could only summon a slug the same size as herself, a split body of the larger Katsuyu.

Katsuyu is the name of the slug from the Shikkotsu Forest. Currently, Sasuke was the only one without a summoning beast. Since Sasuke hadn't defected to seek out Orochimaru, it was up to Yoruha to take him to Ryuchi Cave.

After handing in their mission at the Hokage's office, Sasuke and Yoruha went to find Anko. After some playful banter with Anko, the two finally obtained the summoning scroll for Ryuchi Cave. They headed to a training ground in Konoha.

Unrolling the summoning scroll, they saw the names of previous summoners from Ryuchi Cave listed in order. Yoruha looked at Sasuke, "Write your name on it."

Jiraiya and Kakashi joined them. Sasuke, always obedient to Yoruha, wrote his name on the scroll. Jiraiya reminded him, "Smear your blood over your name." Sasuke complied.

Jiraiya then turned to Yoruha, "Yoruha, you should write your name on it too. After all, your current summoning beast isn't always available. Summoning Manda could help you handle some tasks." Kakashi and Sasuke both looked at Yoruha. They still didn't know what Yoruha's summoning beast was.

Yoruha thought for a moment and didn't object. Having an additional summoning beast wouldn't be a burden for him. Since he was planning to accompany Sasuke to Ryuchi Cave anyway, signing a summoning contract there wouldn't be a bad idea.

So, Yoruha wrote his name on the summoning scroll. Sasuke, beside him, was visibly excited, "From now on, our summoning beasts will be the same." Yoruha just smiled slightly.

Then he said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, you've mastered the Reverse Summoning Technique, right?" Sasuke nodded, "I've been preparing for this day for a long time." "Good, then let's begin."

At this moment, Jiraiya and Kakashi were a bit tense. Although with Yoruha around, nothing should go wrong, it was still the first time the two were using the Reverse Summoning Technique, which was inherently risky.

Sasuke began forming hand seals, while Yoruha simply placed a hand on the ground without forming seals.

After Sasuke completed the hand seals, he and Yoruha simultaneously said, "Reverse Summoning Technique." Under the watchful eyes of Kakashi and Jiraiya, Yoruha and Sasuke vanished from the training ground, leaving only the summoning scroll behind.

Meanwhile, Yoruha and Sasuke appeared in front of a cave. The cave was nestled within a forest, with various snakes coiled around the trees. It seemed like a den of snakes, and indeed, it was.

As the snakes noticed Yoruha and Sasuke's arrival, they began slithering towards them.

"How disgusting," Yoruha muttered, slightly frowning. However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Let's go in." The two of them looked up and saw a massive stone tablet above the cave entrance, inscribed with the characters "Ryūchi Cave." The enormous stone doors of the cave were closed.

Sasuke sensed the ominous atmosphere around them. Even though he had become quite powerful, he still felt that this environment posed a significant threat to him. So, he stayed close to Yoruha.

As many snakes slithered to within a few meters of them, they all stopped and dispersed. This was because Yoruha had released his aura. Sasuke didn't feel it, but these snakes had extremely keen senses.

When they got within a few meters of Yoruha, they sensed a life-threatening presence.

These snakes weren't intelligent, only driven by pure animal instinct, which prompted them to scatter. The two stood before the towering stone doors, several meters high.

Sasuke turned to Yoruha, "What now? Do we knock?" Yoruha shook his head. "They already know we're here. When we signed our names on the summoning scroll, the snakes of Ryūchi Cave sensed it. They'll open the door for us."

Just as Yoruha finished speaking, the massive stone doors slowly began to open. After they opened, a beautiful woman in an ancient dress emerged. Sasuke was taken aback, "Why is there a human here?"

The woman approached them slowly and bowed, "We've been expecting you." Sasuke was even more surprised, "You knew we were coming?" Yoruha, who had remained silent beside Sasuke, kept a calm expression.

At this moment, he spoke, looking directly at the beautiful woman, "Ma'am, we're here to undergo the trial at Ryūchi Cave. Please, let's begin.

There's no need for tests." Sasuke turned to Yoruha, surprised, "She's the one conducting the trial? I thought Ryūchi Cave only had snakes?"

Yoruha signaled Sasuke to keep quiet. Although Sasuke had many questions, he remained silent. The beautiful green-haired woman was Tianshin Hime, one of the high-ranking figures of Ryūchi Cave.

Her status was akin to that of Fukasaku and Shima of Mount Myōboku. Yoruha knew Tianshin Hime's true nature, so he wasn't deceived by her appearance.

Tianshin Hime looked at Yoruha, thinking to herself, "This human seems difficult to deal with. He wasn't fooled by me?"

Despite her doubts, Tianshin Hime continued with the process. "Please follow me." Sasuke glanced at Yoruha, unsure whether to follow.

Yoruha said, "Follow her. There's probably a trial ahead." Sasuke nodded, and the two of them followed Tianshin Hime for a while. During the walk, none of them spoke, and they traveled through the dim cave for quite some time.

Eventually, they reached what seemed to be the end, where some lights appeared. Upon closer inspection, it was a massive city gate, adorned with numerous lights, resembling a bustling tavern.

But in Yoruha's eyes, all of this was an illusion. He saw only a scene of carnage and death before him. Those were the remains of failed trial participants who had been devoured. Yoruha frowned slightly.

Sasuke, however, couldn't see through the illusion created by Tianshin Hime.

Even his Sharingan couldn't penetrate the facade. Looking at the lively tavern illuminated by red lights, Sasuke chuckled, "Yoruha, I didn't expect there to be such a nice place inside Ryūchi Cave."

Yoruha's expression remained calm. Tianshin Hime glanced at Yoruha. At that moment, Yoruha looked back at her.

As their eyes met, Tianshin Hime felt a jolt of tension. "Could he have seen through the illusion?" "Who is this kid, and how could he possibly see through all of this?"

Tianshin Hime couldn't believe it. Yoruha, who appeared so young, seemed to have seen through her illusion of the tavern.
