Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Perhaps only someone like Qing Shui, who has never failed and possesses a talent so powerful it seems omnipotent, is qualified to consider such a thing.

"Brother, no matter what, your health is the most important thing." Zhishui stared intently at Qingshui and said with utmost seriousness.

"Qingshui, if you need me to do anything, please give the order," Asuma said abruptly, but his eyes were extremely serious.

Aokiji nodded, his gaze lingering on Might Guy, Might Dai, Shisui, Asuma, and Nohara Rin, as if trying to memorize their faces, before slowly rising and waving to the crowd with his back turned.

"Just take good care of yourself and don't overthink it."

As Nohara Rin watched Aoshui's retreating figure, her heart was filled with turmoil. She had many things she wanted to say, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.

As one of Tsunade's disciples, Nohara Rin seemed to feel that Tsunade had unusual feelings for Aoshui, but it was just a guess.

She herself has a good impression of Qingshui, and even admires him.

However, for Qing Shui, once feelings of admiration and worship arose, he was no longer worthy of being his target.

Aspiration is often the furthest distance from understanding.

Those ninjas who cannot understand Qing Shui are often unworthy of being his targets, or rather, there's nothing left to exploit...

"Asma, what were you trying to say?"

After Qingshui left, Shisui asked Asuma in a very gloomy tone, "I have a feeling that you've figured something out?"

"The problem that Qingshui mentioned, which requires natural energy to solve, may be related to the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju."

Asuma stated bluntly, "Although I don't know how that person did it, we can ask Tsunade-sensei for help..."

"Shisui, don't worry, I will do my best for anything related to Seisui."

Asuma's voice became deep and firm: "Even if I am the son of the Hokage, I will still do the right thing."

Shisui grabbed Asuma's shoulder: "Thanks, you bastard!"

Might Guy and Nohara Rin were very anxious. Looking at the two people who were speaking in cryptic language, they said repeatedly, "We can help too!"

"Asuma, Shisui, Lin, Kai..."

Might Guy suddenly spoke up, his thick eyebrows trembling as if moved: "This is what youth is all about!"

"As Konoha's Mad Adai and the first generation of Azure Beast, I can intuitively sense that Qing Shui-jun is very tired, and it is precisely the time when we need to do something for him!"

Matt Day gave a thumbs up: "Do a good job, I'll protect you!"

At this moment, the number of people who wanted Tobirama Senju to get out of Aomizu's body increased dramatically.

Not only Madara Uchiha and Tsunade, but also a new generation of ninjas...

And at this moment.

Aozumi and Tobirama Senju have already headed to their first destination—Ryuchi Cave!

The controlled Uchiha Setsuna, Black Zetsu who discovers Aokiji's departure, and Uchiha Obito who returns to the camp are about to form—

To receive love.

And lose love.

Chapter 182 The Great Serpent That Wanted to Devour Qing Shui, the So-called Immortal

"I understand, thank you."

Qingshui patted the small white snake that had emerged from the scroll in Ryuchi Cave. This was Orochimaru's messenger who had come to deliver information.

It includes his past experiences, the unpleasant kind...

In his words, Orochimaru stated that Ryuchi Cave is a holy land that believes in the survival of the fittest, and that those who come here are madmen who seek power. He said that there is no need to be too friendly to these snake-like creatures, and that they should not be too polite to them just because of his reputation.

The tone was rather strange, as if he had suffered some injustice in the past?

"Seisui, should we go to Ryuchi Cave first? Perhaps Shikkotsu Forest is a better choice; according to Orochimaru, these snakes aren't so easy to communicate with..."

Tobirama Senju suggested, "Although Ryuchi Cave is relatively close to us, let's choose a sacred place where we can easily communicate for our first leg of the journey."

It is worth mentioning that the so-called Three Sacred Lands do not exist in another dimension, but are still in the Ninja World, only protected by genjutsu or barriers, making them difficult to find.

Without the consent of those holy land masters, the scroll in Qing Shui's hands could not be used to unilaterally force a contract; it served more as a map.

"How could that be, Tobirama?"

Qing Shui smiled and put away the scroll, saying slowly, "Those who like to fight are often the easiest to communicate with. It's just a matter of who has the bigger fist and who gets to listen to them."

"Although Ryuchi Cave is a so-called sacred place, the fact that it accepts contractors from the outside world means it has a method to pass the test. According to Orochimaru, then the test is martial strength..."

"While I don't consider myself particularly strong, I'm probably not going to lose to a snake. What do you think, Tobirama?"

Tobirama Senju rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on as he looked at Aoshui, who was itching to fight.

This trip is a great way to relax and unwind!

"After all, it's a sacred place, Qingshui. Let's give them some face." Tobirama Senju shook his head helplessly. "Don't be too aggressive. I have this feeling you're going to blow Ryuchi Cave to the sky with a steam explosion..."

Tobirama Senju could already picture it in his mind.

After his 100-meter-tall puppet blew up 10,000 Iwa ninja and two Jinchuriki, if Ryuchi Cave is also blown into the sky, then this Second Hokage will become even more famous in the ninja world!

The Tobirama series of weapons, the devastating power of the Tobirama version of Steam Explosion on enemies, coupled with his reputation during the Sengoku period and the First Shinobi World War…

If things continue like this, Tobirama Senju seriously doubts he'll ever earn a title like "Shura of the Shinobi World"...

"I'll try my best, Tobirama."

Qing Shui raised an eyebrow: "Don't you know that I've always been kind to people? Even when facing snakes, I use the Will of Fire to soothe their violent hearts."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath.

The Will of Fire, the Glory of the Uchiha Clan…

The moment Qingshui utters those two words, it means he's about to start hitting someone or brainwashing them…

Tobirama Senju was very worried about the future of Ryuchi Cave.

In his view, no matter how powerful the White Snake Immortal was, if he angered Qing Shui, he would still send Longdi Cave to the heavens.

He unleashed a devastating burst of power, then instantly teleported away using the Flying Thunder God Technique. What could his elder brother, Hashirama Senju, do even if he were resurrected?

While Aozumi couldn't harm Hashirama Senju, even the God of Shinobi couldn't easily subdue him.

With his exceptional mobility, wide-range lethality, and the forgiving nature of his bronze-cast-iron body, Qingshui became a unique ninja unlike any other in the ninja world. He possessed the ability to kill any opponent below the Jonin level, regardless of their numbers.

Compared to the allied forces of the major hidden villages, whose strength had already been defeated, Tobirama Senju felt that dealing with the problem within Aomine's body was the most crucial thing.

Qingshui once said that if there were only one person left in the ninja world, there would naturally be no more fighting, which could be considered a kind of peace...

The five hidden villages also have the ability to fight to the death, so let's put that aside for now. As long as Qing Shui is around, we can slowly erode them with minimal losses, and eventually we will unify the ninja world.

However, if Qingshui were to become possessed by a demon, Tobirama Senju did not believe that the five great hidden villages, even if they joined forces, could restrain Qingshui…

"Hopefully, Ryuchi-dong will be sensible and not cause any more trouble."

Tobirama Senju was mentally planning his next move:

"In short, let Qingshui first reach the threshold of Sage Mode, try to calm his mind during training, and ideally use this power to suppress the ancient Uchiha chakra within him..."

"As for the Uchiha stone tablet, such a record of ancient ninja doctrines is not of any value, so let's put it aside for now."

Qingshui was moving quickly towards Longdi Cave.

With the combined power of Aoshui's eyes and senses, and guided by Orochimaru's map, Aoshui was not troubled by barriers or illusions along the way and arrived at the gate of Ryuchi Cave without any obstacles.

But to Qing Shui's surprise...

Yongji-dong is not a cave in the literal sense; the entrance looks like a grand pavilion with a lively atmosphere.

"Looks pretty good, Tobirama..."

Qingshui looked the entrance to Ryuchi Cave up and down and commented objectively, "It's a bit like a grand restaurant in the capital of the Land of Fire, isn't it?"

Tobirama Senju nodded, narrowing his eyes: "So, this means they consider themselves human? As expected of the Three Sacred Lands..."

"Then let's see for ourselves, Tobirama."

Qingshui chuckled, slowly pushed open the door of Ryuchi Cave, and stepped inside.

And deep within Ryūchi-dong.

A thick, white-scaled snake twisted its body, took a deep drag on its pipe, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke as thick as an arm. From its forked tongue came a voice as weathered as an old woman's:

"It's been a long time since any new trial participants have come. It's been a long time."

"You three, go and greet the guests."

Below the white phosphorus serpent, three exceptionally beautiful women nodded in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty, Great White Serpent Immortal..."

These three beauties were all transformed from snakes and are also high-ranking members of Ryuchi Cave.

The three women, named Ichikishima-hime, Takitsu-hime, and Takoshi-hime, will test visitors to Ryuchi Cave using different methods. If they fail, they will be eaten. Only by passing these three trials can one meet the White Snake Sage, undergo final sage training, and sign the contract with Ryuchi Cave.

And the first to appear was Princess Tianxin!

Her test involved using incredibly powerful illusion magic to conjure up a magnificent castle and irresistible delicacies…

Once these fake foods are consumed, the body and chakra will be affected and devoured by her.

Princess Tashin hummed a little tune and ran off first, raising her eyebrows triumphantly with Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsuratsu, before turning back and saying, "First come, first served!"

"I haven't experienced such vibrant chakra and flesh in a long time..."

Princess Ichikishima glared at her retreating figure and shouted, "Your tricks will be exposed soon; she's my prey!"

But despite saying that, Princess Ichikishima didn't hold out much hope.

Over the decades, only Orochimaru has successfully passed all three trials and met the White Snake Sage, while almost 99% of those who attempt the trials fail at the very first trial…

"Fine, let her be smug for a while. Anyway, it'll be our turn to go first next." Tuanjin-hime gritted her teeth, comforting herself inwardly.

But at this moment, the White Snake Immortal stopped exhaling clouds and mist, his snake eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

With its keen senses, the snake instinctively felt that the chakra of the person who came to the gate of Ryuchi Cave was somewhat strange this time. It even smelled a trace of the aura of the ancient invaders known as the Otsutsuki...

"Is this just my imagination? Something's not right, it's so faint, could it be that I'm getting old?"

The White Snake Immortal turned over and began to pay attention to this trial, which was originally insignificant.

Qingshui walked slowly at the entrance of Longdi Cave, looking at the decorations and furnishings along the way, before pushing open the door in front of him.
