BXBX NOVEL Chapter 594
Chapter 594: Kabuto’s Disbelief
Next to Kabuto sat Naruto who said loudly to Garaga, “Garaga, you have to promise me not to eat people in the future…”
Garaga’s eye twitched in annoyance, and he shouted angrily, “Naruto… are you stupid? How can I even find a human to eat in these caves? Humans rarely ever venture here!”
Naruto suddenly realized something, and asked, “So… that means what you told me before… that you eat humans almost every day… you were lying to me…!”
Garaga snorted, “Humph… it just proves that you are a dull-witted guy, and you can be fooled very easily by anyone!”
Naruto retorted, “Arrghhh… don’t call me a fool, you fool!”
Seeing Naruto and Garaga’s continuous arguing, Hinata giggled, “Hehehehe…” to her, the two of them looked as if they are brothers…
But Kabuto on the other hand was still in disbelief… and his eyes trembled. In Kabuto’s impression, even a Shinobi as strong as Orochimaru can not get so harmonious with the snakes on the level of Manda and Garaga, because Snakes are cold-blooded creatures, and they only serve Shinobi who are stronger than them, and Naruto is clearly nowhere near being as strong as Garaga so Kabuto simply can’t believe what he is seeing.
‘It must have been the effect of some sort of Genjutsu… yes this is the only logical explanation!’ Kabuto thought to himself… and then he tried several methods to break free of the Genjutsu that––according to him was acting on him––but no matter how much he tried there was no effect at all. At the same time, Kabuto also found that he was able to freely control his Chakra to use ninjutsu, so there were no signs of his Chakra being controlled or disrupted… Which meant only one thing…
‘Could it be… this is all real? Did Naruto really tame Garaga using just words?’
Kabuto shook his head, trying not to think about it for the time being…
At this time, Garaga and Naruto bid farewell to Aoda, with Naruto thanking the polite and noble snake for his help, then everyone went back to the Shrine of the White Snake Sage.
Looking at Naruto sitting on top of Garaga’s head, White Snake Sage squinted her eyes in a not too surprised manner, and then said with a smile, “It seems you people have defeated Garaga… and therefore, I declare that you have passed the test.”
Naruto quickly denied, “Obachan, you are misunderstanding… we did not defeat Garaga… instead, we became friends… so I can not give you the reverse scale of Garaga.”
*Chuckles…* White Snake Sage chuckled lightly and looked at Garaga with a meaningful gaze…
Garaga was a little irritated by the White Snake Sage’s chuckle, and turned his head to the side…
White Snake Sage then looked at Naruto’s group, and said, “Well, this is still a win… now then, which one of you wants to learn Senjutsu?”
“Me, me, ME! I want to learn Senjutsu!” Naruto quickly raised his hand, and said excitedly…
Hinata lowered her head and remained silent…
Although she is not very interested in Senjutsu, she is still very interested in being able to train with Naruto…. But the thing is, just because she wants to learn something doesn’t mean she is allowed to learn it… As the supposed heir of the Hyuga Clan, Hinata has to strictly follow the training plan prepared by her father… and she is not allowed to do other extra things…
On the other hand, different from Hinata, Kabuto was very interested in Senjutsu and his deep interest in Sage Art could be seen from the gleam in his eyes, but Kabuto is a cunning fellow, and the gleam in his eyes quickly loses its effect and disappeared without a trace…
This time, he came to Ryuchi Cave majorly to avoid the pursuit of powerful enemies… Although he did have intentions of getting in touch with Senjutsu, it wasn’t to the point where he was willing to risk his life… After all, he has not yet witnessed the demise of Orochimaru so he is not the person who is trying to find a place where he belongs, as such, he has not yet reached the point where he is desperately seeking power…
What’s more, Kabuto is not even certain if he can learn Senjutsu… so he is unwilling to risk it at this point… Since Naruto is so eager to learn Senjutsu, then Kabuto has thought of studying Naruto as a test subject in order to explore the depths of Senjutsu.
With these intentions, Kabuto bowed his head politely to White Snake Sage, and apologized, “I am sorry… I haven’t yet made up my mind.”
White Snake Sage waved her hand indifferently, seemingly not bothered by Kabuto’s words… And since Naruto is the only one who expressed his interest in learning Senjutsu, she focused all her attention upon him and said, “Since you want to learn Senjutsu… first you need to sign a Summoning Contract with the Ryuchi Cave…” then she paused and added while looking at Garaga, “And considering that you have gained Garaga’s acknowledgment, it would be better to have Garaga become your summoning Snake…”
Naruto nodded then asked Garaga, “Garaga… are you willing to become my Summon Snake?”
Garaga nodded lightly… “Alright!”
With Garaga’s agreement, he became Naruto’s Summon Snake, and then Naruto also signed a contract with the scroll of Ryuchi Cave under the guidance of White Snake Sage.
As the contract was completed, White Snake Sage said, “With this, other than Garaga, you can also summon other snakes from the Ryuchi Cave…”
Naruto nodded, “Alright.” and then asked hurriedly, “Now can I learn Senjutsu?”
White Snake Sage nodded with a smile, “Ichikishima is the best when it comes to teaching Senjutsu among all three of my disciples, and she will be the one who will teach you the Sage Art of the Ryuchi Cave.”
As White Snake Sage called her name, Ichikishima hime’s figure quickly appeared beside Naruto and she said to Naruto, “Follow me… Naruto-kun…”
Naruto nodded and quickly followed her…
As Kabuto watched Naruto and Ichikishima hime walk into the depths of the Ryuchi Cave, he felt that something was wrong with the situation this time…
He wasn’t sure about it, but for some reason, Kabuto felt that getting Senjutsu training was very easy for Naruto… it is as if, rather than Naruto wanting to learn Senjutsu and asking the White Snake Sage to teach him, the White Snake Sage wanted to teach Senjutsu to Naruto on her own initiative, which is kind of strange…
Kabuto shook his head, dispelling such an absurd idea from his mind
‘Maybe I am too nervous… After all, why would White Snake Sage want to teach Naruto on her own initiative? It’s not like she would gain anything from this, right?’
