Chapter 170: The white snake sage who refuses to show up
Uehara doesn’t care what Kisame thinks. As a man behind the scenes, why care about his subordinates making complaints to him?
What Uehara paid more attention to was the actions of Konoha and Iwa.
The destruction of Kusagakure broke out after two days of brewing. Konoha and Iwa Ninjas were like wolves that smelled their prey, and they were frantically operating in the Country of Gra.s.s trying to seize more territory.
After losing the middle ground, the Country of Gra.s.s, the two superpowers, the Country of Earth and the Country of Fire, were directly bordered, and there may be a war at any time.
Even if the Third Tsuchikage Onoki and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade desperately contained the atmosphere of war, they still inevitably had to place ninja troops in the Country of Gra.s.s to get a share of their respective countries interest.
In this situation, the most suitable opportunity to sneak into Konoha came.
Village at the border of Country of Earth.
Uehara sat in the most prosperous restaurant in this village and ordered a large number of dishes. He ate here slowly as if it was the last meal of his life.
After drinking the juice and having a full stomach, the restaurant owner came to collect the money with a nervous look.
Uehara held up three fingers and chuckled softly, “Don’t worry, someone will pay the bill in three seconds… Three, two, one!”
Uehara had long used his Destiny skills to observe everything around him, and the head of Orochimaru was walking towards the restaurant just in time to help him pay the bill.
After counting the numbers, Uehara turned to look at a man wearing a hat who walked inside the restaurant and said loudly, “Hey, can you help me pay for this meal.”
“…”
Orochimaru, disguised as an ordinary person, cursed a few words in his heart, knowing that Uehara had recognized his ident.i.ty, so he could only helplessly pull out a few banknotes.
After the two people gathered, their first destination was Ryuchi Cave.
Orochimaru’s plan was to let Uehara meet the White Snake Sage. With this kid’s arrogant att.i.tude, the White Snake Sage would surely kill this kid, and then Orochimaru naturally didn’t have to accompany Uehara to Konoha on an adventure.
Anyway, in Konoha Forbidden Room, Orochimaru should have learned everything that should be learned.
Uehara also did not object.
“Orochimaru, it seems that you have confidence in the White Snake Sage!”
Of course, Uehara also saw through Orochimaru’s thoughts. He just chuckled and said, “Are you so confident that the White Snake Sage can kill me?”
Orochimaru was also tacitly aware of this, and with a mysterious smile, he said, “Naraku-kun wants to find a grave, so I will naturally do my best.”
It’s just that the location of Ryuchi Cave was indeed a bit weird.
Uehara has to follow Orochimaru for a long time.
Two to three days later, they finally saw a weird, ruined temple.
A genjutsu covered this temple.
When Uehara and Orochimaru entered it, the system panel prompted Uehara the discovery of the Ryuchi Cave, one of the three holy places.
[Side mission: Found the location of Ryuchi Cave (1/1)]
[The mission has been completed.]
[Reward: +1000 life energy, +1000 chakra energy, and +1000 natural energy.]
Among the three unknowable holy places in the Ninja World, Ryuchi Cave has always been mysterious, and it was estimated that many people were also curious about its location.
Such generous rewards were also normal.
After Uehara entered, he suddenly received a new reward.
[Side mission: Enter the Ryuchi Cave (1/1)]
[The mission has been completed.]
[Reward: +100% natural energy recovery rate.]
Uehara glanced at his natural energy recovery rate, which had become 12 points per second, which had exceeded the life energy recovery rate.
Kind of interesting.
It was indeed a treasure trove.
Merely signing and punching a card, the rewards have already made him very satisfied. After he defeated the White Snake Sage, what would he be rewarded?
Uehara watched the small snakes on the ground circling them and then drilled into the cave one by one. These should be the animals on the periphery of Ryuchi Cave.
Orochimaru glanced at Uehara contemptuously, then smiled and said, “Now there is still time to regret it. After seeing the White Snake Sage in a while, you will not have time!”
“Tsk…”
Uehara shook his head.
He will not shrink back.
If it was really as horrible as Orochimaru said, it’s not a big deal because he can just teleport away here!
However, this Ryuchi Cave didn’t seem to have a specific length, and he saw another ruined temple after walking for a while!
Uehara slowly turned his head and looked at Orochimaru, “What’s the situation? Or are we in a genjutsu?”
“I am not sure as well.”
Orochimaru shook his head inexplicably.
It shouldn’t be like this in the past!
When he came before, he saw the White Snake Sage after entering the ruined temple, and it occasionally pa.s.sed through the long Ryuchi Cave.
However, judging from the current situation, they seem to have come to the next level of the Ryuchi Cave. Does the White Snake Sage refuse to see them?
Orochimaru thought of this and softly explained, “The White Snake Sage probably thinks that Naraku-kun is not qualified to sign the contract, so he refuses to meet you…”
After speaking, Orochimaru gently shook his head and said, “The summoning contract qualification of the Holy Place is not so easy to obtain. Naraku-kun, let’s go back!”
“Are you serious?”
Uehara stared at Oshemaru tightly and raised his eyebrows, “This is what you promised me. If I didn’t get the summoning contract of Ryuchi Cave, you will be in debt for this and will also pay very high interest!”
“…”
Orochimaru wanted to curse again.
The White Snake Sage in Ryuchi Cave didn’t want to see you. They made it clear that they didn’t want to sign a contract with you. Why were you bothering me?
Was it because he was easy to bully?
d.a.m.n it.
Even a rabbit bit when he was anxious!
Besides, he was originally a sinister and cruel snake!
Orochimaru’s body stiffened for a while, and he began to blame the White Snake Sage again. I brought someone here, so why didn’t you just come out and do it!
If Uehara was unqualified, the White Snake Sage could send a powerful snake to swallow this person. Perhaps the snake may be a bit weak, and Uehara would kill it easily, but you should somehow express the att.i.tude of Ryuchi Cave!
“Let’s go, let’s go deep underground!”
Uehara was not idle either but quietly turned on the Destiny skill and looked at the trail of the White Snake Sage. However, a huge White Snake
s head was close at him, but there was no snake here!
“Katon, Pyroclasm!”
Uehara waved his palm and summoned a torrent of fire, trying to destroy the weird and shabby temple in front of him. However, the fire just pa.s.sed through the temple and turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.
“Unexpectedly, Naraku-kun was also good at fire ninjutsu!”
The corners of Orochimaru’s eyes solidified for a second. This was the first time he had seen powerful fire ninjutsu, and even Jiraiya and Sarutobi might be inferior!
The fire ninjutsu in the ninja world only has B-rank at most.
No one has ever seen fire ninjutsu at the forbidden technique level.
Even Jiraiya can only rely on the combination of fire, oil, and wind to make his fire ninjutsu’s power far superior to others.
“Let’s go!”
Uehara didn’t explain too much either.
Ryuchi Cave.
The temple in the depths.
A st.u.r.dy giant snake occupies the main temple, and a summoning contract scroll hangs above its head.
A group of thick and long snakes slithering on the floor.
A cloud of smoke floats above the temple’s main hall, showing the two people, Uehara and Orochimaru.
The White Snake Sage has been monitoring them.
“Why haven’t they left yet?”
The White Snake Sage slowly coiled up her body hesitantly, looking at Uehara displayed in the smoke.
“Obviously, there were other powerful natural energies in his body. Why did he come here? Is it for the summoning contract of Ryuchi Cave?”
That young ninja was a bit weird.
White Snake Sage was a little reluctant to see him.
Moreover, Sage like him, who have been active for thousands of years, has long been able to infer unknown possibilities based on current events.
That young ninja was very dangerous.
It would be dangerous to see him rashly.
This was the keen intuition of the White Snake Sage hone for thousands of years!
The White Snake Sage spat out her snake tongue and said coldly, “Orochimaru, what on earth do you want for bringing this kind of person here? Doesn’t he know the rules of the three holy places!”
