Along with the voice of the White Snake Sage came her figure, now transformed into human form. Seeing the White Snake Sage appear, Uzumaki Naruto did not immediately command the stone giant to release Aoda. Instead, he looked calmly at the massive red-scaled serpent before him and said, "White Snake Sage, this red snake has a fierce temper and needs a good lesson."
"Let's put it this way: as long as it's willing to bow its head and submit, I'll spare it this time."
Hearing this, the White Snake Sage turned her gaze toward Aoda. After quietly scrutinizing the beast for a moment, she spoke: "Aoda, Uzumaki Naruto is a junior whom I hold in very high regard. His coming to train in the secret realm of Ryuchi Cave was also granted by my special permission. Since you rudely provoked Naruto first, you should now show an attitude of admitting your mistake."
