Chapter Ninety-Four: Dragon Cave
Since he had promised Naruto and Sasuke to teach them the immortal mode, Senju Moriro would naturally not break his promise. Preparations began immediately.
"Five generations, will this be too early?"
In the Hokage's office, Senju Morira shook his head in the face of the hesitant Jiraiya.
"With Naruto and Sasuke's current strength, they can already try to cultivate in the immortal mode."
"The Five Great Powers have also recuperated for so many years, and the number of ninjas has reached the highest peak in the history of the ninja world. Now the ninja world seems to be peaceful on the surface, but behind the scenes, there is an undercurrent, I believe that Jiraiya teacher you will not be unaware. β
In addition to the five major powers, there is also a strong strength with an unknown background and purpose of the Xiao Organization. Peace is just a thing that ordinary people are accustomed to, but in the eyes of the higher-ups, it is possible to start the Fourth Ninja War at any time!
Senju Moriro's words made Jiraiya fall into deep thought, he has always believed in the emergence of the 'Child of Prophecy', and the Child of Prophecy who can change the ninja world will naturally be accompanied by a huge crisis.
Then, it is indeed very necessary to improve the strength of Naruto, the 'child of prophecy'.
"Okay, Naruto's cultivation will be left to me."
In the end, Jiraiya agreed to Senju Moriro's proposal, and he led Naruto to Myoki Mountain to practice. As for Sasuke...
"Here, help me see if there's anything wrong with this contract scroll."
After receiving the scroll handed by Senluo with a thousand hands, he also glanced at it suspiciously, and his face suddenly turned into shock!
"It's... The psychic scrolls of Orochimaru and Dragon Cave?! β
"That's right,"
οΌοΌ
"Five generations... Moriro, you should know that Orochimaru has always coveted Sasuke's body-"
"That's why I'm asking you to see if this scroll has been manipulated by Orochimaru,"
Thousand-armed Senluo spread his hands, it was impossible for Sasuke to go to Myoki Mountain to practice 'Immortal Mode', right? No matter how you look at Sasuke, it doesn't look like he can make peace with that group of social toads.
"Don't worry, as long as the contract is signed, I will accompany Sasuke to the Dragon Cave to ensure that Orochimaru has no chance to make a move."
"And now I can also psychic slug immortals, if there is any accident, I can immediately send information to Tsunade through the slug immortals for help."
With the strong flesh of the thousand-armed Senluo, he can't even ask for help. Unless it's Nagato or Itachi, two guys who are out of specification, sneak attack, and others need to spend a lot of time just trying to hurt Senro, so safety is still guaranteed.
"Now that the fifth generation has a detailed plan, then I won't say anything more."
Zilai also nodded, and finally added uneasily.
"Stay safe,"
ββββ
Bang, x2
As the smoke from the 'Reverse Spiritism' dissipated, two figures appeared in the mist.
"This is the Dragon's Cave?"
Sasuke felt kunai almost the moment he hit the ground, and put on a vigilant posture. After looking around left and right, Senluo confirmed that this was indeed one of the three holy places.
If ordinary ninjas want to enter the Dragon Cave, they can only 'hit the big luck' in a few "places of trial" specially made out of the Dragon Cave, waiting to be taken away by the people of the Dragon Cave.
And Sasuke, who has signed the contract, only needs to send a 'request' to the Dragon Cave side, and he can come directly to the Dragon Cave through the 'Reverse Spiritism', accompanied by Senju Mori.
"These aren't ordinary mist, Sasuke, you enter the 'Curse Seal Status' and try it."
The surrounding mist was filled with a faint amount of natural energy, and it was also the reason why Senju Moriro was sure that he and Sasuke were not wrong.
And Sasuke, who listened to Senjutsu Moriro's words, immediately entered the state of Spell Mark 2, his hair quickly became longer and whiter, and a pair of huge wings appeared behind him!
At the same time, wisps of lightning spontaneously jumped on his wings, and he looked like a large tengu. - It's the shape of the complete Susanoo.
"This feeling..."
Clenching his fists, Sasuke's tone was full of surprise.
"In this environment alone, the total amount of chakra has increased by three percent! If I can absorb these chakras into my body, wouldn't my strength increase rapidly? β
"That's that easy,"
Senro shook his head,
"It's true that the concentration of natural energy here is higher than that of the outside world, but after all, it is natural energy suitable for snakes, and it is not 'harmless' to humans. It's not necessarily a good thing to absorb indiscriminately, andβ"
In the future, it will definitely be fighting in the outside world, and the rich natural energy of Longdi Cave can only be used as a tool to help get started.
"Let's go."
The top priority is to go to the Earth Dragon Cave to obtain a way to practice the 'Immortal Mode'.
οΌοΌ
But as soon as he took a few steps, Senju Moriro noticed that Sasuke beside him had disappeared.
It's not accurate to say this, it should be said that unconsciously, Senju Moriro and Sasuke went in two different directions under the interference of mysterious forces. This situation is...
"Has the test begun?"
"Yes, my lord."
A man with long brown hair, a golden crown on his head, pink eyeshadow that extends black to the wings of his nose, and pale skin. A dignified woman dressed in a white shrine maiden costume with red trim and three jade-shaped ornaments on her chest emerged from the mist and nodded slightly to Senro.
"Here, please, the White Snake Immortal has something to talk to the adults about."
"Hmm."
The Toad Immortal was not only the teacher of the Six Paths, but also claimed to be on a par with the Six Paths. - Although it is not clear how much water is in this, there is absolutely no problem with the strength of the super shadow level.
And the strength of the White Snake Immortal, who is as famous as the Toad Immortal, is naturally unfathomable, and when you come to the other party's territory, it is the right thing to say hello to the master's house first.
ββββ
On the other side,
A test belonging to Sasuke is underway.
"Separated from your friends? Let's take a break here. β
With long green hair, a golden crown on her head, red eyeshadow that extends to the nose, pale skin, a white shrine maiden costume with green edges, and a magata-like ornament on her chest, the Affinity Big Sister takes Sasuke to a building.
"Concubine Tian Xinshenji, who is in charge of entertaining guests in Longdi Cave, please see-"
"This is the Dragon's Cave."
It is said to be the Dragon Cave, but the building in front of Sasuke is more like the 'Dragon Palace' in the style of the island country: carved beams and paintings, golden and splendid, as soon as you push the door open, the white jade is made of bricks and gold, the food is fragrant, and the delicacies are tangy...
"Hmph, boring trick."
Whether it's a gorgeous house, exquisite food and drink, or the beauty next to it, Sasuke doesn't even look at it! Not to mention that these things are not his pursuit at all, just this familiar taste:
"The illusions created by natural energy can even simulate 'weight', 'texture' and 'smell'... But compared to Sister Yakumo's illusion, it's just a pile of mud and sand. β
οΌοΌ
"Hehehehe, it seems that the little handsome guy is not only calm enough, but also not bad at insight."
In the real meaning of 'Evil Smile', fangs, Nobuko, and scales appear on the face of the eldest sister 'Tian Xin Shenhime', which is enough to make the otaku who shouts 'My Wife' instantly 'fall out of love'.
"It's a pity, if you eat here, I'll be able to 'taste' you-"
As the surrounding things shook, all the tall buildings, the food, and the lights disappeared, leaving only human bones all over the ground.
These are the last proofs of the existence of the ninjas who came to the Dragon Land Cave for thousands of years to try to practice the 'Immortal Mode', but fell into the illusion of Tian Xin Shenji.
Longdi Cave is not Miaomu Mountain, ninjas who dare to pursue power, failure in the assessment is a dead end!
And this first level is the test of worldly desires.
ββββ
"Welcome, young man."
In the real Dragon Cave building, Thousand-Handed Senluo met the White Snake Immortal. - Unlike the Slug Immortals, who maintain the shape of giant slugs, and Myoki Mountain, who wears clothes and hats, the higher-ups of Longdi Cave like to maintain their human form.
On the seat under the huge statue of a dragon head leans a kind old woman with long brown hair, a black turban, and a pipe in her mouth.
Although she looks like a kind old man on the outside, the natural energy in her body that is so strong that it seems to be solid can't deceive people, so Senluo must also be serious.
"The contemptible Thousand Hands Sen Luo, the five generations of Konoha Hokage, have seen the White Snake Immortal."
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a spirited young man, sit."
The benevolent white snake immortal took off his pipe, smiled and spit out a puff of second-hand smoke, his appearance was light, but in fact his heart was shocked.
What a powerful immortal art!
The Chakra of the Thousand-Handed Senluo itself is very exaggerated, and after absorbing some of the dragon vein energy, it is now a real humanoid tailed beast.
If you enter the immortal mode, you can also continuously absorb free natural energy. In terms of the amount of chakra, ordinary tailed beasts will be embarrassed when they see it, unless the nine-tailed one hangs in the middle...
"Don't worry, even if that little guy named Sasuke doesn't pass the assessment, for your sake, the old woman will spare his life."
If it's another ninja who comes to pursue power, once you don't qualify, you'll be eaten.
However, the high-level leaders of Sasuke ,ββ Dragon Cave brought by Senju Moriro like to change into human shapes, and they are also proficient in human nature, so naturally they will not feel uncomfortable for a bite to eat.
Anyway, what they have is rations from the contractor: for example, ten thousand snakes, every time they are summoned, they need to offer food with chakra afterwards, that is, ninjas!
Although Senju Senluo had maliciously speculated whether Orochimaru was the processor of the Ten Thousand Snakes as a failed experiment...
"The White Snake Immortal has misunderstood,"
Facing the 'empathetic' White Snake Immortal, Thousand Hands Senluo smiled and shook his head.
"Sasuke will definitely pass the test, there's no doubt about that. I just hope that the White Snake Immortal can teach him seriously, no matter what, every strong person in the ninja world can have an extra chance of winning against 'foreign enemies' in the future." β
"Oh?"
The white snake fairy in the shape of a kind mother-in-law raised her eyelids, and suddenly there was a sound of wind around! I only heard the sound of the wind and there was no wind, but there was a feeling of gloom coming from all directions, and the light suddenly dimmed, making people feel inexplicable pressure.
"It seems that Xiaoyou knows a lot,"
In the next second, the White Snake Immortal who sat up regained his kind appearance, and with a wave of his hand, a stone chair protruded from the ground and appeared behind Thousand-Handed Senluo.
"You may be seated."
ββββ
After passing the first level, Sasuke quickly came to the second level:
It's a suspicious cave, and it's like writing 'there's a trap inside' on the doorway. Although suspicious, there is a strange thick fog on both sides, and there is only one way to go.
Is it in? Or retreat?
Stomp Tread,
As Sasuke walked into the cave without hesitation, the entrance behind him closed with a clang.
"Welcome to the second level, we are the city of Pestle Island Hime~~"
One has long blue hair, also wears a golden crown, red eyeshadow that extends to the nose, pale skin, and blue-blue hook-shaped earrings. A cute Lori in a white and green-edged witch costume floats in a cave.
"Let's play a game, do you see these pits? It's actually an enchantment I've set up. β
Cute Lori pointed to the surrounding walls: there are all kinds of triangles, rectangles, star shapes... and other geometric pits, and then finger all the way down, pointing to the ground.
"Once you fill it with crystals of the corresponding shape on the ground and fill all the pits, the barrier will open automatically."
It may sound easy, similar to the game played in kindergarten, but:
"Attention, this cave will keep absorbing your chakra! And each time you fill a crystal into the corresponding pit, it will also cost you a certain amount of chakra. That is to sayβ"
Cute Lori grinned, full of bloody horror!
"If you don't hurry, you'll be 'eaten' into your stomach."
I see
After taking a closer look, Sasuke knew this and bent down to pick up a hedroder.
"This level is to examine the ninja's ability to observe, the total amount of chakra, and break the shackles of fixed thought patterns."
οΌοΌ
The ability to observe is easy to understand, that is, to find the spar corresponding to the pit in the shortest time, and the amount of chakra is the time left for the tester, the so-called breaking the shackles of the fixed mode of thinking...
Picking up two triangles, Sasuke pressed them into a groove at the same time, forming a kunai shape.
"There are a total of 497 pits here, all of which have corresponding spars, and then the remaining 3 pits need to be combined with several spars to fill."
If you don't notice this, you'll fall into the blind spot of the last three 'can't be found', and then turn into bones in the despair of chakra's passing.
βΒ·Β·Β· Awesome, worthy of the Uchiha family's writing wheel. β
This test is difficult for other ninjas, but it is simple for Sasuke, who has the limit of Hitomijutsu's blood. Butβ
"The third test is not so easy."
Crash
As the wall on the other side opened, the little Lori-shaped 'Ichichishima Hime' fluttered forward and pointed forward:
"Be careful~~"
"Such a handsome little brother, we can't eat it, and we can't let others eat it!"
Β·Β·Β· Bored
Sasuke, with a grim face, walked out of the cave of the second level and took a step towards the third level. In his opinion, the difficulty of the first two levels, the third level should also be easyββ?!
"Sasuke, come here."
In front, a black and straight woman gently beckoned to Sasuke, making Sasuke, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, tremble, but he couldn't move his feet.
"Sasuke, what are you hesitating about?"
Next to the gentle woman is a man with short black hair, wearing a dark blue robe, and a face full of seriousness, which makes people look like the kind of 'stern father' character.
Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Fugaku.
Sasuke's parents!
