At night, the worried Orochimaru came to Ryūchi Cave again through reverse channeling.
After the House of Representatives meeting ended in the afternoon, Orochimaru felt more and more something was wrong the more he thought about it.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's attitude towards the Holy Land of Psychic Beasts was too rigid. All the participating ninjas could basically see that it was Uchiha Tokumitsu who was driving the village's hostile attitude towards Mt. Myoboku and even all Holy Lands for Psychic Beasts...
But this is also the first time in the ninja world that a force has expressed its hostility to a spiritual beast holy land that transcends the outside world in such a clear manner.
This is not normal...
According to Orochimaru's understanding, even during the Warring States Period, the contracts of the psychic beast group were actually arbitrary, and were not necessarily limited to a certain ninja clan or force. On the battlefield, psychic beasts from the same lineage It is also common for people to fight under the summons of contracted ninjas from different camps.
Furthermore, the reason why the psychic beast group is able to maintain a relatively aloof state is also because it does not have much ambition for the ninja world. It mainly hopes to obtain certain benefits from contracted ninjas. Otherwise, those murderous and murderous people during the Warring States Period would Sensitive strong people will not tolerate the existence of the psychic beast group.
It's just... not only Myobokuyama, who has always claimed to be looking for the "savior" and "son of the prophecy" of the ninja world, Orochimaru even felt that Ryūchidō's attitude was becoming more and more strange, as if he had begun to have a preset The position can no longer maintain the aloof bystander attitude it once had.
"Come in with me... Immortal White Snake is already waiting for you."
Tianxin Shenji frowned and urged Orochimaru who was standing there thoughtfully.
"Um……"
Only then did Orochimaru react, and he took steps to keep up with Tianxinji who was floating in the air.
At this time, he discovered another mental problem in himself, that is, he became more and more distracted regardless of the occasion.
"Great Immortal, Orochimaru is here..."
It's still the familiar Snake Cave Stone Temple, but this time the White Snake Immortal sitting high on top has transformed into an old woman.
"White Snake Immortal, here I come."
Orochimaru bowed politely.
"You have a mental problem, and your self-will and obsession have drifted."
The old woman transformed by the White Snake Immortal took a puff of her pipe and said quietly.
"……Yes."
Orochimaru was silent for a while, and finally nodded and admitted.
"The Hachi no Jutsu is different from ordinary Ninjutsu. The foundation of this forbidden jutsu is the incarnation of obsession."
White Snake Sage exhaled a stream of dragon-shaped smoke, and began to cast his gaze on Orochimaru, who was a little nervous: "But because of the ridiculous bond between you and the earth walker of Mt. Myoboku, you were affected by yourself, which led to the loss of faith and even insanity... …”
"How ridiculous!"
The White Snake Immortal scolded him mercilessly.
"Orochimaru, do you want immortality or bonds?"
"...immortality."
Orochimaru hesitated for a moment, his face full of struggle, but in the end he chose his original belief.
"Death or friendship!"
"Immortal!"
Orochimaru's expression gradually became determined.
"That'll be fine..."
White Snake Sage nodded, "The Eight-Qi Technique is a method of transcendence, a secret technique that can transform a dragon into immortality. It is definitely not comparable to the crude ninjutsu in the ninja world..."
"But because of this, the practice of this technique is extremely difficult. Since its creation, almost no other person has been able to successfully practice it..."
"You won't disappoint me... Orochimaru!"
The White Snake Immortal said sadly.
Orochimaru didn't say a word.
Although White Snake Sennin has been nesting in Ryuji Cave, his understanding of the secrets of the ninja world far exceeds Orochimaru's knowledge.
Even his own mental problems can be accurately judged, which shows how deep the White Snake Immortal understands or controls him.
"Are the descendants of Indra determined to punish those toads from Mt. Miaomu today?"
White Snake Immortal asked, changing the subject.
"……Yes."
Orochimaru nodded.
There is nothing to hide. Since the White Snake Immortal has taken the initiative to ask, it means that it is clearly aware of the matter, so there is no point in being secretive.
Besides, the friendship between Orochimaru and Uchiha Tokumitsu is far from the point where they need to cover for each other.
"What do you think of this?"
asked the White Snake Immortal.
"...I'm glad to see that."
Orochimaru spoke his true thoughts.
Whether it is Uchiha Tokumitsu or Myobokuyama behind Jiraiya, Orochimaru actually doesn't have a good impression of them.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and the family behind him were the main culprits that led to the death of his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi; and the nagging toads of Mt. Myoboku fascinated his good friends to the point of being entranced. Therefore, in Orochimaru's mind, neither of them is a good thing. It would be best if a dog-eat-dog fight resulted in both sides losing.
"You are honest..."
The White Snake Immortal took a puff of his pipe happily and blew out smoke rings: "But it won't take long for your wish to come true... Those stinking toads have decided to fight against the descendants of Indra to the end."
"...What is Indra?"
Although Orochimaru could roughly infer from the preface and afterwords of White Snake Sage that Indra might be the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, he had no impression or understanding of his deeds and life, so he asked more questions by the way. One sentence.
"Indra is the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, and his father is Otsutsuki Hagoromo..."
White Snake Sage revealed a secret without any hesitation. Seeing that Orochimaru still had the indifferent expression of an ignorant person on his face, he dropped another bombshell: "The so-called Otsutsuki Hagoromo is what you often call Six Paths." Immortal..."
"Six, Six Paths Immortal..."
As expected, White Snake Sage saw the broken expression on Orochimaru's face with satisfaction.
"Otsutsuki Hagoromo founded the Ninja sect, and it was Indra and Asura who carried it forward ~ Of course, due to the thousands of years of war in the Warring States period, the history has been lost, so not many people know this secret."
White Snake Immortal said leisurely: "Indra regards human beings as supreme, relegates all living beings and spirits as slaves, slaughters old gods and evil spirits, and seals monsters. Now his descendants have a bit of the style of their ancestors..."
"Thank you, Immortal White Snake, for your teachings..."
After being shocked for a while, Orochimaru finally regained his composure and bowed respectfully to the White Snake Sage.
However, precisely because of White Snake Sage's words, Orochimaru's inner greed for the power of the ninja clan's blood successor burned again.
Although he felt the changes in his inner emotions at this time, Orochimaru remained unmoved and did not correct himself psychologically, because he found that the obsession he needed to maintain at all times had returned to its original state due to greed.
"This is for you..."
White Snake Sage waved his hand, and a snake-tooth-shaped pendant floated in front of Orochimaru.
"Since you are greedy for Indra's descendants, then this thing can be used just right for you..."
Orochimaru put the snake-tooth-shaped pendant into his hand, and felt a cold feeling entering his brain, and his spirit suddenly became determined.
Taking a closer look, it seems that there are countless almost invisible curse runes floating vaguely on the snake tooth pendant, which are born and destroyed in an endless stream.
"This is a fang left before I became immortal. Although it is of no great use, it can at least prevent you from the influence of ordinary illusions and is conducive to the practice of Baqi Technique..."
White Snake Sage said leisurely: "Orochimaru, I hope you won't disappoint me..."
"As ordered..."
Orochimaru took a deep breath, bowed and excused himself.
…
"Myokiyama may rebound."
The minutes proposal formed at the meeting was quickly passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, but Hatake Sakumo was still a little worried, "Tokumitsu-kun, does the village need to be arranged in a targeted manner to avoid being attacked?"
"Although it may not be so hostile to Myobokuyama... But since Sakumo-kun suggested it, I will ask the police department to assemble the quick reaction force from the headquarters and each district police station, so that if there is a sudden change, we can provide support and respond."
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a while and then agreed to Hatake Sakumo's suggestion.
"Although it is indeed reasonable to eliminate those illegal toads hiding in the village, I still have some doubts..."
Hatake Sakumo asked tentatively.
"Sakumo-kun, please speak."
Uchiha Tokko didn't mind at all.
"Tokuguang-kun seems to be a little concerned about the three holy places? Why is this?"
Hatake Sakumo asked.
"A mere monster and strange creature dares to call itself a holy land and claim to be an immortal..."
Uchiha Tokko sneered, "Especially Myobokuyama, who actually interfered with the direction of the ninja world with the so-called prophecy, and tried to replace the struggle of the ninja with alien will. He really didn't know life and death. Sooner or later, his clan would be exterminated, his species would be exterminated, and his descendants would be exterminated. So that everything in this ninja world belongs to ninjas!"
"Tokumitsu-kun is indeed ambitious."
Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but sigh: "I also heard Jiraiya talk about Mount Myoboku's so-called savior, but I didn't take it seriously at the time, and I didn't expect that there was actually a hint of alien interference in the ninja world behind it... "
Although he does not understand what a "monster" is, judging from Uchiha Tokko's radical approach of "exterminating his race, his species, and his descendants", it can be seen that he has a deep prejudice against the so-called Holy Land of Psychic Beasts.
Having said this, Hatake Sakumo was no longer persistent. After chatting for a while, he stood up and left.
He also wants to urge the agencies under the House of Representatives to inform all registered ninjas one by one that the village has listed Mt. Myoboku as a hostile force. However, this work is related to the village's basic position and policy, so it needs to be done secretly, so Hatake Sakumo plans to Supervise the formation personally.
…
"This damn place! I feel like it's going to be moldy!"
In a large house in a small town in the eastern part of the Land of Rain, the Uchiha conservative ninjas who were relegated to this place by the Uchiha Fire Gate gathered in front of a fire to warm themselves and dry their clothes.
The Country of Rain, where it rains all year round, is definitely the most annoying place for Uchiha ninjas who specialize in fire escape.
"I don't know when I can go back..."
The Uchiha conservative ninjas complained.
"Huomen must be annoyed by you so much that I can't bear it... so I'm going to stay out of sight."
An older Uchiha jounin laughed at himself: "Now is the era when radicals have total power. Naturally, we dissidents are not welcome."
"We are Uchiha too! Why should we treat him so differently!"
A young Uchiha ninja muttered dissatisfiedly.
"It is said that even the power of the police department is controlled by General Deguang. In addition to the false name of the chief, the clan leader cannot even control a squadron..."
Another Uchiha ninja suddenly joked: "Don't think we are unhappy, but those guys in the village are actually quite sad too~"
"Speaking of this~ I don't know if Fugaku can still succeed~"
The Uchiha ninjas immediately started gossiping.
"Be careful!"
The older Uchiha jonin interrupted the gossip of the juniors with a frown.
"Deploy security posts and rest..."
The Uchiha Jonin sighed, "No matter how unhappy those guys are, they are still better off than us... Besides, I don't know how long we will be moldy in this damn rainy environment..."
Thinking of their current situation, all the Uchiha conservative ninjas were not in the mood to gossip. They silently packed away the baked clothes, assigned the duty of standing guard in rotation, and then took a rest.
Although they are in the Land of Rain and there is a high probability that they will not encounter enemy attacks, the Uchiha ninjas still set up open and hidden sentries in a meticulous manner, and several ninjas with sensory expertise also volunteered to participate in night sentries.
The older Uchiha jounin was deeply relieved to see this.
Although the conservative faction is now weak, generally the tribesmen still maintain unity within the faction. This is a very rare virtue for Uchiha who likes to fight bravely and worships the strong.
However, as the saying goes, every step of the way is as high as the devil. Although they carefully set up night sentries and used sensory ninjutsu to test the surrounding situation, the conservative Uchiha ninjas never noticed that the person outside the door On a big tree, a croaking tree frog has been paying attention to the movements of the conservative Uchiha ninjas in the house.
