Chapter 258:
The three women of Ryūchi Cave each had their own distinct identities.
In addition to Tagorihime, the graceful and mature one, there were Tagitsuhime, the dignified elder sister, and Ichikishimahime, the mischievous one.
For centuries, they had been living in the cave, their days marked by monotony. Most of the time, they entertained themselves by playing with the snakes that roamed Ryūchi Cave.
Occasionally, a human would arrive, only to unwittingly become their next meal.
The three women had a low opinion of humans, seeing them as greedy and utterly worthless.
A rare few would capture their attention, but that was the extent of their interest. They weren't the type to change their opinions because of a small exception.
That was, until Orochimaru appeared.
In all their centuries of existence, they had never encountered someone like him.
This made Orochimaru particularly fascinating to them, and they found great amusement in teasing him.
