Naruto: On the Night of the Nine-Tails, I Resurrected the Previous Hokage

During their journey, Orochimaru reminded the system again about the reward settlement.

Orochimaru realized that he had to concentrate on everything he did, otherwise he would suffer a huge loss if he accidentally triggered an event and forgot to call the system to settle the score.

Well... maybe it's not such a bad deal after all.

Orochimaru felt that perhaps his luck was bad, which was why the system kept not giving him good items.

"Are we heading to the Land of Wind now? I feel like we're going the wrong way."

On Orochimaru's shoulder, Taru scratched his cat face with his paw, and then made his soft, sweet voice.

You could sense that they were heading towards the Land of Wind, but it didn't seem to be the shortest route.

Orochimaru offered an explanation while traveling:

"We took a slightly longer route, stopping by a place along the way."

Which place is it?

Then, out of curiosity, he asked again, seemingly unaware of the adage that curiosity killed the cat.

However, Orochimaru patiently explained the wireless charging bank to him:

"Ryuchi Cave! I need to go there to get some things."

"Ugh, is that where those stinky snakes live?"

Upon hearing the name "Ryuchi Cave," Matatabi's chakra-formed body seemed to tremble, indicating that he didn't particularly enjoy dealing with those snakes.

As intelligent beings that have survived in the ninja world for thousands of years, the tailed beasts of the three holy lands must have known something about them to some extent.

However, they mostly do not interfere with each other.

Orochimaru did not change his plans just because Matatabi, the Two-Tails, disliked Ryuchi Cave. He arrived at the entrance of Ryuchi Cave in just half a day.

This is a somewhat retro brick and stone building. The door is decorated with dragon head carvings, which seem to suggest the desire of the immortals of Ryūchi-dō to transform into dragons. The dragon holds a stone scroll in its mouth with the three large characters "Ryūchi-dō" written on it.

Orochimaru walked straight in; he remembered being here before.

After entering the door carved with dragon patterns, there is a dark stone path inside, with only a few oil lamps providing some light for visitors.

Orochimaru guessed that the lights were lit up specifically because of his arrival as an outsider.

Various small snakes of different colors darted through the stone path.

Because of the summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave, the surrounding snakes did not hinder Orochimaru's actions.

"This place is really eerie."

"Oh? I thought you'd been here before."

"Who would come to a place like this!"

Just as Youlv finished speaking, a huge white python's tail swept towards Orochimaru, or more precisely, towards the chubby blue cat on Orochimaru's shoulder, which was wearing a tea pot.

"What an rude person!"

A somewhat shrill old woman's voice boomed from the distance.

Orochimaru quickly gathered his chakra in his arm and slapped it directly at the giant python's tail.

boom!

Orochimaru's physical body is now extremely strong; the tail of the White Phosphorus Serpent cannot even budge Orochimaru's arm.

Orochimaru looked around. He had now arrived in a large hall, which was much brighter than before, and there was even a fragrant aroma wafting through the air.

It is obvious that this is caused by some kind of illusion.

"I'm truly sorry for coming without prior notice, White Snake Sage."

A flicker of shock crossed the White Snake Immortal's snake eyes. After retracting her large tail, she transformed into an old woman leaning back in her seat, smoking a pipe, before slowly speaking:

"Orochimaru, I never expected that you, who failed the test back then, would be able to master Sage Mode!"

As an old man who had cultivated Sage Mode for thousands of years, the White Snake Sage was naturally able to sense the Sage Chakra that was constantly gathering inside Orochimaru's body.

After learning about immortal arts, the original owner sought them out from the White Snake Immortal, who gladly passed them on.

However, this method of inheritance is somewhat unconventional. After being bitten by the White Snake Immortal, the original owner almost died from the rampage of natural energy. If it weren't for the original owner's strong ability to protect himself, he might have really perished here.

The White Snake Sage took a puff from his pipe, glanced at Matatabi on Orochimaru's shoulder, and then frowned:

"It didn't sign a contract with Ryuchi-dong. Isn't it against the rules for you to bring it here without permission?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly and said:

"White Snake Immortal, I've come to see you not because of him, but because I have something to discuss with you."

"Heh, you stinking snake, do you think I'd even bother with your paltry power?"

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Matatabi also spoke up.

Orochimaru frowned, not very satisfied that Ryu had ruined the atmosphere of his conversation with the White Snake Sage.

Therefore, he raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

next moment.

As if it had been stimulated by something, the traveler suddenly let out a scream.

"Meow!"

"Orochimaru, what have you done?!"

"Hehehe, Orochimaru, it seems your pet doesn't really listen to you," the White Snake Sage mocked.

"No, he's more like a collaborator of mine." Orochimaru smiled slightly at Matatabi. "Matabi, could you please keep quiet for a moment?"

Youlv naturally didn't want to experience that feeling again, so he turned his cat face away and snorted coldly.

Humans are indeed despicable; with this cursed mark, they seem to be forever inferior to him.

You're a bit frantic.

Without the interference of the traveler, Orochimaru turned his gaze back to the White Snake Sage and said:

"White Snake Sage, I need the magic of Ryuchi Cave."

The White Snake Sage pulled the pipe from his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a scrutinizing look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Orochimaru.

"I can teach you the sage techniques of Ryuchi Cave, but have you thought about what price you're willing to pay?"

"What does the White Snake Sage need?" Orochimaru asked.

He never intended to take advantage of someone like the White Snake Immortal.

The White Snake Immortal summoned his three subordinates and then spoke:

"These are the three fairy maidens of my Ryuchi Cave. They were the ones who tested you when you first came to Ryuchi Cave. You need to choose one of them to take out and train."

Orochimaru was also somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

Frankly speaking, keeping these snake demons around is not a wise move; they might be constantly thinking about how to eat you.

However, Orochimaru vaguely guessed what the White Snake Sage wanted.

The fleeting look of surprise in the White Snake Sage's eyes when he blocked the White Snake Sage's tail sweep with his bare hands was unmistakable.

It is obvious that the spell seal he developed is very effective in assisting in the cultivation of immortal arts.

Snakes are very greedy creatures; when they see something good, they will definitely want to possess it.

However, Orochimaru's cursed seal is a perfect cursed seal, which naturally has a backup plan to prevent others from breaking it. Even if a little snake spy is planted next to him, she will not learn anything.

This is equivalent to Orochimaru getting all the Sage Techniques from Ryuchi Cave for free without having to pay anything.

With information from the original work, it's impossible for the White Snake Immortal to cut corners with him.

Moreover, you can get a free mount.

Orochimaru glanced at the three princesses, then pointed at Ichikishima-hime and said:

"Let's choose her."

According to the original work, it seems that she is the least intelligent of them all.

After saying that, Orochimaru also revealed a slight smile.
