The Ryuji Cave, which is as famous as Mt. Myoki and Shikkotsu Forest, is a heritage holy land founded by the so-called three great living immortals, White Snake Sennin. It is also the paradise of snakes in the ninja world.
Under the leadership of Hana Snake, Orochimaru walked through the gloomy tunnel of Ryūchi Cave with a normal expression, and arrived in front of an underground cave temple under the gaze of countless venomous snakes of all sizes.
The three goddesses floating in the air did not show any intention of being troubled. After the flower snake simply nodded in greeting, the leader Tian Xinji waved her hand, and the heavy stone door of the temple opened quietly.
Behind the stone gate is a huge dark mouth that is extremely deep and seems to be trying to choose people and devour them.
The flower snake swam first and entered the stone door, and its figure was immediately swallowed up by the darkness. Not even a little bit of its outline and smell were exposed.
Orochimaru also stepped into the stone gate without hesitation and walked into the temple where the White Snake Sage resided.
Ichikishimahime, who is also one of the three goddesses of Ryuji Cave, also waved her hand, and the stone door of the temple closed quietly again.
"...Why does the Great Immortal want to see this monster?"
Among the three goddesses, Tuanjinji was the youngest and had the most out-of-the-box temperament, so she asked Tian Xinji without hesitation: "Besides, I remember that this pseudo-snake has not mastered the magical secrets of the Ryūchidong lineage, right? ? Why does the Great Immortal value this mediocre mortal so highly?"
"The Great Immortal naturally has other intentions, and this is not something that a junior like you should know..."
Ichikishimahime replied boredly: "It's been a long time since a trialist entered Ryūchi Cave. I almost forgot what a ninja feels like..."
"That's right!"
Tuanjin Ji also bared her teeth and said: "That fake snake has only been summoning the guy Wan She, and he doesn't even know he wants to give us some sacrifices!"
"Shut up!"
Tian Xin Shenji saw that the conversation between the two snake girls was getting further and further, so she reprimanded: "Don't make random guesses about the great immortal's intentions, let alone violate the principles of seclusion!"
"Really, you are obviously young but you pretend to know everything..."
After being scolded, Tuanjinhime muttered in a low voice but better for Tianxinji to hear: "I don't understand why the Great Immortal doesn't let us go hunting. There are so many ninjas in the ninja world. We eat a hundred of them a day." I can’t finish it in a year…”
"If you dare to talk nonsense and break the rules of Longdi Cave again, then I will be rude to you!"
Tian Xin Shenji showed her fangs and snake eyes without hesitation and threatened.
…
Orochimaru, who was walking in the darkness, kept moving forward based on his own feelings. After an unknown amount of time, he saw a little candlelight in front of him.
As the footsteps get closer and closer, the scene in the candlelight gradually reveals its true form.
A huge, orange-haired, yellow-eyed, white-phosphorus snake was entrenched on the high platform, smoking a huge pipe with a huge pipe in its mouth, and a green cat's eye stone on its chest was flashing something.
When Orochimaru approached, the first thing he saw was the flickering green cat's eye stone on White Snake Sennin's chest, which also made his heart beat involuntarily.
——The scene in the green cat's eye stone is almost exactly the same as the scene in his dream!
"Meet the Great Immortal White Snake..."
Orochimaru's expression quickly returned to normal, and he bent down and bowed to the white phosphorous snake on the throne.
"Orochimaru……"
The pipe in White Snake Immortal's mouth was still puffing away, "You saw it too, right?"
"...could it be that tonight's dream was actually the instructions given by the Great Immortal?"
Orochimaru guessed.
"It's not what I did..."
Shen Ying of the White Snake Immortal is unexpectedly gentle, just like an ordinary old farm woman, plain yet hoarse, like a snake spitting out a message.
Orochimaru responded with silence.
"The past of the ninja world is under my control, whether it is reality or virtual reality..."
White Snake Immortal explained: "But there will always be some places that I can't touch, such as Miaomu Mountain, Shishibone Forest and some special areas..."
Orochimaru still didn't reply, he just lowered his head slightly and stared at the throne where White Snake Sage sat in trance.
"You are a contractor of Longdi Cave, and you are also a walker who represents the will of Longdi Cave, so I will pay a little more attention to you..."
Immortal White Snake continued: "Moreover, there are some special things happening to you, which are indeed worthy of attention..."
"... Then may I ask the White Snake Immortal, what is going on in the dream?"
Orochimaru asked aloud, and at the same time he raised his head and stared at the huge yellow jade-like snake eyes of the White Snake Sage.
"...The power of Yin and Yang escape."
An unexpected answer came out of White Snake Immortal's mouth.
Orochimaru was shocked inside but still maintained his outward calm.
Someone is up to something...
This was Orochimaru's first thought.
"...In the plan of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, what you call the Six Paths Sage, the future will lead to the end of history that has caused thousands of years of grudges."
White Snake Sage's voice became shriller and shriller, "And that self-righteous toad in Miaomu Mountain is the driving force behind Hagoromo's plan..."
Orochimaru was silent again.
He thought of the big fool with whom he had a complicated relationship.
"Who controls the power of Yin Yang Escape... and is trying to influence me through dreams?"
Orochimaru was silent for a while and then said quietly.
He is an absolutely proud man.
He is also a person who is determined and believes that absolutely no one can affect him.
Now, a dream has affected his own mind by connecting the past and his heart. This is an outright shame for Orochimaru.
"...Although I control the past of the ninja world, I am not omniscient and omnipotent."
White Snake Sage also spoke out his shortcomings without hesitation: "There are still many places in the ninja world that I cannot touch..."
Contrary to the Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku who can predict the future, the White Snake Sage of Ryujidong controls the "past". In theory, everything that happens in the ninja world will be transmitted to the ears of the White Snake Sage.
Of course, this is only theoretical. There are still many forces that can counter the perception of Longdi Cave.
"I just sensed something strange about you, so I called you over to take a look. Now that there's nothing wrong, I'm relieved..."
The White Snake Immortal continued.
"Does Longdi Cave need me to do anything?"
Orochimaru asked in a deep voice: "Otherwise...the great immortal paying so much attention would really make me overwhelmed..."
"Hehehe..."
White Snake Sage laughed with unknown meaning: "You just need to do things according to your heart. Ryūchi Cave does not need your humble power. Your existence is just a stick that stirs up the stagnant water of the Ninja World. No matter Ninja, No matter how the world changes, it will not affect the Longdi Cave hidden deep under the Nine Earths..."
"I see……"
Orochimaru replied with mixed emotions.
Then Orochimaru added: "Then can I ask a few more questions?"
"Say it~"
The White Snake Immortal seemed to be in a good mood after talking about it, and even the pipe in his mouth was spitting out more smoke.
"Why is Ryujidong unwilling to interfere with the direction of the ninja world? But Miaomu Mountain sends their ground walkers in the name of prophecy to try to find a so-called savior to end the war?"
This is what Orochimaru is most confused about Jiraiya's behavior.
"The smelly toad in Mt. Miaomu thinks it can predict the future, but often the future it foresees is wrong and can be changed by external forces..."
Immortal White Snake replied: "Longdi Cave represents the power of the earth and the past. Too much mixing with the world is not in the interest of Longdi Cave."
"……Is it?"
Orochimaru didn't completely believe White Snake Sennin's answer, but he didn't continue to ask.
"All history in the world is past history..."
The White Snake Immortal once again blew out a huge smoke ring, "And one thing that humans, or all intelligent life, have in common is that the only lesson learned from history is that intelligent creatures never really learn lessons..."
"Even if humanity perishes one day, the newly born intelligent creatures can still become the source of power for Ryūchi Cave. This is the biggest difference between Ryūchi Cave and Miaomu Mountain..."
"The White Snake Immortal is really knowledgeable and insightful..."
Orochimaru bowed sincerely.
"Not really..."
White Snake Sage seemed to say casually: "And there will always be some unexpected things happening in the ninja world, but as long as you look back on history, you can always find corresponding comparisons..."
"I see……"
Orochimaru bowed again.
"When one day you are able to transcend your current limitations and truly look at things from a historical perspective, then the door of Longdi Cave will be opened to you again, and the immortal arts and secrets of longevity in the Longdi Cave line will also be revealed. Grant..."
White Snake Sage threw out a bait that was extremely tempting to Orochimaru.
"Immortal magic..."
"Longevity..."
Orochimaru's expression finally changed.
His friend, who had a complicated relationship, had become more powerful than him ever since he mastered the Myouki Mountain Immortal Technique. This was unbearable for Orochimaru, who had always been arrogant.
Now, the Immortal Technique inheritance of Longdi Cave that he contracted has finally extended an olive branch to him...
"...But I can't seem to accept the infusion of the Great Immortal's fangs and enter Immortal Mode."
After Orochimaru calmed down, he said again.
"That's just the most vulgar method. Only a fool with a tough life and courage can infuse it through fangs..."
White Snake Sage laughed again with unknown meaning: "You don't think... senjutsu is as simple as the so-called sage mode and a few more powerful ninjutsu, right?"
Orochimaru was speechless.
"When your state of mind reaches the standard of practicing Longdi Cave Immortal Technique, you will naturally understand. It's useless to say anything now..."
The White Snake Immortal put down the pipe in his mouth and blew out the last smoke ring comfortably: "Go back and do what you want to do. After all, even if you can't escape history, then live in the present..."
"...Thank you, Great Immortal, for your guidance."
Orochimaru thought for a long time, but still felt that he had no clue.
However, the appearance of the White Snake Immortal seemed to mean seeing off guests, so he had no choice but to resign and leave.
The flower snake that led Orochimaru to the palace of the White Snake Immortal in Ryūchi Cave appeared out of nowhere and signaled Orochimaru to follow him and leave the palace.
Under the guidance of Hana Snake, Orochimaru no longer wandered in the dark this time, but walked into a trail.
"I'll send you here..."
The flower snake stopped at the entrance of a huge underground snake cave.
"The Great Immortal has blessed you with a secret technique. As long as you remove the reverse psychic technique, you can return to where you came from."
The flower snake spit out the letter and said.
The billions of poisonous snakes in the snake cave seemed to be very interested in Orochimaru, but they did not dare to crawl over because of the presence of the flower snake. Therefore, ten meters away from one person and one snake, countless poisonous snakes spit out letters and formed a circle. Green, red, and yellow snake eyes were all staring at Orochimaru, whose expression remained unchanged.
"...What are they?"
Orochimaru pointed at the various large and small venomous snakes around him.
"...just some stupid idiots without intelligence."
Hua Snake seemed to be very disdainful and said: "He covets power that does not belong to him, but he has the ability to seize it, so he can only rely on huge numbers to cover up his weakness and vulnerability..."
Orochimaru suddenly felt that this greedy flower snake actually understood some big principles.
"Since they are stupid things...then I should be able to use them, right?"
Orochimaru spit out the long tongue in his mouth and washed his face.
"Hum hum……"
The flower snake twisted its body and crawled towards the snake cave path it had just passed.
"That's your business~ Bringing you here is also your opportunity. Since I've caught it, it's up to you... To Longdi Cave, your value is much higher than these idiots, whatever you want It doesn’t matter what you do.”
"That'll be easy..."
Orochimaru's pair of vertical pupils became more and more monstrous, his body gradually grew snake-like scales, and his feet secreted a strong corrosive mucus. While corroding his pants, they also closed together and turned into a snake's tail.
As the flower snake swam into the path, the large and small venomous snakes that were originally surrounding Laogao rushed toward Orochimaru like an avalanche.
"Eight Distinctive Techniques!"
Orochimaru's pair of vertical pupils exuded endless murderous intent and viciousness. After screaming, his body quickly expanded and elongated, and finally turned into an eight-headed giant snake, swaying its huge body towards the seemingly endless path. A swarm of poisonous snakes devoured it.
"As expected of being known as a poisonous snake in human skin..."
At the entrance to the Immortal's Palace in Longdi Cave, the Three Goddesses were floating in mid-air, commenting on a water mirror condensed in front of them.
"Although the ninjas are weak in power, their descriptions are quite accurate..."
Ichikishimahime commented.
"If this continues, will this false snake become our new sister?"
Tuanjinji stared at the figure of Orochimaru turning into eight giant snakes devouring all directions in the water mirror, and licked her lips involuntarily.
"The premise is that he doesn't get killed by that Uchiha clan monster."
Tian Xin Shenji snorted coldly.
"A monster with neither past nor future..."
Tuanjinji's eyes regained their clarity: "Why do the descendants of Kaguya always produce some inexplicable monsters..."
