Chapter 106.2 : Boa Hancock?

"Cultivation method? No Dragon blood?"

Seeing her options, Tagorihime displayed a disappointed expression.

With the previous enlightenment from Uchiha Ran and the allure of the fire dragon blood obtained by Garaga, she eagerly desired Dragon blood.

Originally, she thought that her ranking must be ahead of Garaga, and the reward she would get must just be better—perhaps even the Dragon blood that could directly transform her body.

Wouldn't that be a leap in one step?

"Madness!"

At this moment, an ethereal voice echoed in Tagorihime's ear, startling her. She quickly admitted her mistake: "White Snake Sage, this subordinate is wrong."

The voice of the White Snake Sage continued: "These two rewards are undoubtedly superior to the Dragon blood Garaga received. Don't question the authority of the Golden List."

"But which one is better and more suitable, you can ask Uchiha Ran."

"He has a connection with us."

That's right, Uchiha Ran has established a mutual relationship with the entire Ryūchi Cave.

Three days ago!

In reality, well before the day of Konoha's collapse plan, Uchiha Ran had imprinted the Thunder God's mark on Orochimaru. Finding the latter after he went into hiding was effortless, leading to an extensive conversation—or more accurately, a one-sided solicitation.

Ultimately, Orochimaru was convinced.

The allure of universal knowledge and the promise of eternal life were irresistible temptations for him.

Upon Orochimaru's agreement to Uchiha Ran's inquiry, the latter also extended a gesture of goodwill.

The Golden List Summoning Beast List!

A snake beast resembling Manda was merely an appetizer.

Uchiha Ran requested Orochimaru to summon Manda and then left the Thunder God's mark on the snake, simplifying the process of locating the Ryūchi Cave.

0・・・・・・0

Compared to the Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave could be described as a cavern that consumed those who entered.

The master and ancestor of Ryūchi Cave was a white-scaled snake that had endured for more than a millennium since the Kaguya era. Possessing powerful Senjutsu Chakra.

For those seeking to train within Ryūchi Cave, only those who approached with sincerity would have the chance to encounter the White Snake Sage.

Individuals were designated to screen those entering Ryūchi Cave. Those who failed the test, with White Snake Sage's approval, would be devoured by high-level serpents such as "Tagitsuhime," "Ichikishimahime," and "Tagorihime."

Upon passing the trial, White Snake Sage would use her fangs to inject natural energy. If the visitor couldn't withstand it, they would be consumed whole.

Orochimaru reportedly lacked the courage to face White Snake Sage a second time after passing the test. Even the Three Snakes Princess under her command dared not meet her again.

Top to bottom.

Manda could be so aggressive that every time he served Orochimaru, he demanded a varying number of living beings as a reward.

However, when Uchiha Ran conveyed his intentions, he effortlessly met with White Snake Sage and, leveraging his "Summoning beast knowledge," persuaded her to sign a Summoning contract.

The Sage couldn't refuse the reward promised on the Golden List.

This also explained Nara Shikaku's satisfaction earlier.

Uchiha Ran's speculation was on point; the contracts signed with the three sacred places were not about demanding from others but about mutual benefit—a win-win situation.

And if White Snake Sage wanted to maintain her position on the list in the future, she would need to seek assistance.

After all, Summoning beasts required contractors.

As for the claim that they actively sought out weaker individuals to sign contracts.

A solitary Summoning beast couldn't endure such humiliation!

"Your Excellency, the Fifth Hokage, which one do you think would be more suitable for me?"

After receiving guidance from the White Snake Sage, Tagorihime addressed Uchiha Ran through the live broadcast room.

However, she seemed somewhat unwilling to give up and inquired, "Why can't I acquire Dragon's blood?"

[Uchiha Ran: In a world where humans rule the world, choose one: you can learn cultivation methods, transform into a human, easily survive, become stronger, and master spells.]

[Uchiha Ran: In a world where monsters and beasts rule the world, you can choose option two from the same lineage, which would be more fitting for you!]

[Uchiha Ran: In the ninja world, I suggest you choose two.]

[Uchiha Ran: The lack of a Dragon blood option is probably because it doesn't exist in your bloodline. As I mentioned earlier, snakes should transform in response, and they should evolve into Flood Dragon, but this is a hereditary trait. There's no shortcut; you, little snake, must rely on your own practice to repeatedly complete the transformation.]

Little snake!?

Tagorihime was a bit annoyed.

She's a snake princess, a princess!

"Choose two!"

Tagorihime shouted at Golden List angrily, looking quite adorable.

Some seasoned fans felt heartbroken once more.

But then they remembered her true form.

Soft once again!

"Let the lottery begin!"

When Tagorihime received the reward, Anko, who had never had much presence, spoke again with a hint of fear.

She got the chance to rank on this list due to the Orochimaru-Uchiha Ran trade.

While she didn't know the details of their agreement, it seemed fine, and only a fool would refuse.

La~

The roulette wheel appeared.

One: BTTH World, Medusa (Dual Sovereigns)

Two: One Piece World, Empress Boa Hancock

Three:

This time, ten options surfaced.

However, only one could be drawn.

In the end, the pointer stopped at two.

Simultaneously,

The sea, Amazon Lily, the country of women.

Hancock, on the brink of sleep, opened her eyes!
