White Snake Sage

The is the leader of the snakes and resides in the Ryūchi Cave.

Background
At some point, Kabuto Yakushi came to it and under its tutelage, the young man learned senjutsu and mastered the snakes' equivalent of Sage Mode.

Appearance
The White Snake Sage is an extremely large, white nāga, many times the size of a human with its massive body wrapped in thick coils. Along these coils are yellow circular bands. It wears a turban with two pointed edges and a red orb on top along with an orange headdress. It also wears a chain with a green orb around its neck, similar to the one worn by the Great Toad Sage. Because it has lived in the cave for so long, its body has grown together with the ground. The Sage smokes as well, using a long cigarette holder when doing so.

Abilities
The snake uses its fangs to bite and inject a person with natural energy. According to the legend, if the body can withstand the snake-ification, the White Snake Sage will accept it without reservation. Otherwise, it will devour it whole. As a Sage, it is very knowledgeable in senjutsu as it taught Kabuto how to use senjutsu and Sage Mode, which he mastered.
