Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 220 Ryuchi Cave Joins (Please Subscribe)

According to Yao Chen's memory, such a pure natural energy crystal is roughly equivalent to the magic core of a third or fourth-order magical beast.

Moreover, under the long-term erosion of natural energy, these crystals have developed iridescent colors, just like gemstones.

This natural energy crystal is enough for Uchiha Yang to try to improve many kinds of pills. If there are more and purer crystals with even more energy, he is confident that he can improve some of the more difficult fourth-grade pills.

"White Snake Immortal, I need these crystals. Can you trade them to me?"

"Trade? Hehehe, Ryuchi Cave doesn't do those things. We don't usually need these kinds of crystals. We've only used them twice before, and that was to help a few contractors cultivate Immortal Mode."

However, after hearing what the White Snake Sage said, Uchiha Yang picked up the natural energy crystal and looked at it; how could this thing help people cultivate Sage Mode? Direct absorption would be hindered by the minerals, so it would be better to absorb the surrounding natural energy.

Could it be that it was swallowed?

"Just like you think, after swallowing it, this stone will slowly dissolve, and even humans can digest it, hehehe."

The White Snake Sage saw through what Uchiha Yoichi was thinking and said to him with a smile.

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head, then continued, "Since it's useless to you, how can you give it to me?"

"If you want it, I can give it to you now, but didn't you say there was something else? Let's talk about it together."

"OK."

Uchiha Yoichi thought for a moment, then said, "Should Ryuchi Cave join Konoha? All the summoned snakes should wear Konoha headbands, and the three Snake Princesses can also choose to sign contracts with Konoha ninjas to fight for Konoha ninjas in critical moments."

He originally only wanted to ask Ryuchi Cave for a few dozen spirit snakes, but after seeing the natural energy crystals that Ryuchi Cave was rich in, he changed his mind.

The White Snake Sage's body is connected to the earth, and he can't usually communicate with spirits there; otherwise, Uchiha Yoichi would have wanted the White Snake Sage to fight for him.

"Hahahaha, what an arrogant brat! You've only been a contractor of Ryuchi-dong for a few years, and you're already thinking about swallowing up the entire Ryuchi-dong!"

The White Snake Immortal laughed loudly, and the laughter coming from the giant snake's mouth even shook the entire cave, causing rocks to fall.

"It's not about annexing, but about cooperation. Konoha will eventually dominate the entire ninja world. The sooner Ryuchi Cave joins, the more likely it will become a veteran of Konoha. Otherwise, I can't guarantee anything in the end. Besides, not just anyone can call that kid's name."

Uchiha Yoichi said calmly, and the next second, a powerful burst of chakra suddenly erupted from his body.

"Oh dear~"

Princess Ichikishima was blown far away by the powerful impact. Around Uchiha Yoichi, an invisible pressure seemed to appear on the ground, and with a loud 'boom,' it pressed a spherical crater more than ten meters wide into the hard earth.

At the same time, lightning-like electricity crackled and popped around Uchiha Yoichi's body. When it touched the ground, it split the ground open, leaving behind charred marks from the high temperature.

"This, this brat."

The White Snake Immortal was shocked by this powerful aura, and his snake eyes widened incomparably.

It was also intimidated by Uchiha Yangyi's chakra aura; it was too strong. The aura alone made it feel extremely threatened. In particular, Uchiha Yangyi's Sharingan, after being stared at by those eyes, even reminded the White Snake Sage of a thousand years ago.

It felt like it was being targeted by its natural enemies when it went out to train.

"Alright, I understand. If this continues, Ryuchi Cave will collapse!"

The White Snake Sage quickly spoke up to stop him, and after he finished speaking, Uchiha Yoichi slowly stopped his Lightning Annihilation Mode.

The aura burst from his chakra was roughly equivalent to a C-rank wind-style ninjutsu; if he were to actually use it, its destructive power would undoubtedly be even greater.

After Uchiha Yoichi's imposing aura dissipated, the White Snake Sage said with lingering fear, "I understand. Your strength is no less than that of Ryuchi Cave, and you are qualified to be on equal footing with them. However, regarding Ryuchi Cave joining Konoha..."

"This Uchiha Yangyi might actually unify the ninja world someday. If I joined him sooner, maybe I could persuade him to attack that old toad and escape my current predicament."

The White Snake Immortal thought to herself that the legend of the dragon transformation was actually a myth from the Dragon Cave, and that she herself had spread the myth to cover up the truth. Even the three great snake princesses were almost in human form, so why didn't she want to?

It's simply impossible!

"I know you can't move, so Konoha just needs other intelligent serpents."

Uchiha Yang said, "Konoha will definitely unify the ninja world in the future. I hope you will consider this carefully."

"In that case..."

The White Snake Sage curled up his enormous snake body again, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said, "Alright, then it will be as you said. Ryuchi Cave will join Konoha, and I will make a new summoning scroll."

"It's a wise choice. I know a place with even more abundant natural energy. If Ryuchi Cave performs well, it might be possible for you to live there."

Uchiha Yoichi said with a smile that he had just thought of it. Since there are natural energy crystals in Ryuchi Cave, there should be some in the Dragon Vein as well.

However, he hadn't even fully broken the seal yet. Later, he could ask the giant snake from Ryuchi Cave to help him scout the way, or use a puppet to do so.

"Here is the natural stone you requested. There may be more deeper inside. I'll have Shinya or Princess Ichikishima deliver it to you later."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll bring you the Konoha headbands once they're finished."

"Then prepare one for me too!"

The White Snake Sage's words startled Uchiha Yoichi. He was initially very resistant, but his attitude changed so quickly because of the power he had just displayed.

That's only the first level of the Thunder Annihilation Mode, is it really that exaggerated?

"Okay, I understand."

Uchiha Yoichi took the natural energy crystal, then glanced at Ichikishima-hime before walking outside.

After Princess Ichikishima stood up, she said to the White Snake Sage, "I'll go and gather some information for you." After saying that, she chased after him.

After floating to Uchiha Yoichi's side, Ichikishima-hime clung to his back like a koala, her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him like a snake.

"What are you doing?"

That is, Princess Ichikishima. She looks silly and harmless, and she didn't gain any wisdom from eating people before; if anyone else were behind her, they would have been electrocuted by the lightning long ago.

"You still have the nerve to ask? The last two times you left suddenly after doing your job, this time you won't get away."

Princess Ichikishima was furious when she recalled being scammed twice before; she had helped but received nothing in return.

"I said I would pay it back, and I definitely will. When have I ever lied to anyone?"

Uchiha Yoichi reached behind his back and lifted Ichikishima-hime down, but the little snake still clung tightly to his arm, as if afraid that he would dispel the summoning jutsu and return to Konoha.

Back at the cave where Shinya was, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly asked, "Do you know anything about the White Snake Sage? Why is she so attached to Ryuchi Cave? Is it some kind of secret technique passed down through your lineage?"

"I don't know. We never inquire about the White Snake Immortal. Besides, there are only four of us in Dragon Earth Cave who can cultivate into immortals. The White Snake Immortal is more than three hundred years older than us."

Princess Ichikishima shook her head and said that there might have been a great serpent from the same era as the White Serpent Sage, but it did not cultivate to become a sage and eventually grew old and died.

Currently, the only creatures in Ryuchi Cave that can live long lives are the four giant snakes; under these circumstances, it's impossible to inquire about them unless you ask them directly.

"I see."

Uchiha Yoichi sensed that something was wrong with the White Snake Sage, but he had no information and couldn't pinpoint the reason why.

But now the White Snake Sage is showing him goodwill, giving him natural energy crystals and agreeing to let Ryuchi Cave join Konoha. It seems there's nothing to complain about.

The change in attitude was too sudden, which made Uchiha Yoichi feel awkward.

"Fine, just tell me what you need me to do. I need to go back after I'm done."

Uchiha Yangyi's biggest wish right now is to go back and ask Tsunade if there are any similar natural energy crystals in Shikkotsu Forest, and then he will start refining pills.

There are many types of fourth-grade pills, and Yao Chen also has some fourth-grade pills that he has researched himself.

"I want to eat a piece of your flesh."

"Stop dreaming, I'm going back!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Even if the meat won't do, can't I at least drink some blood?"

Princess Ichikishima quickly hugged Uchiha Yoichi's arm tightly. He was the most perfect human she had ever seen. Just being by his side made her unable to suppress the hunger in her stomach.

After cultivating into an immortal, it made no difference to Princess Ichikishima whether she ate humans or not. Eating humans was just a habit she had developed before, and she could go decades without eating humans without any problems.

However, Uchiha Yoichi could arouse her instinctive desires. As long as she was by his side, she wanted to devour him. At first, it wasn't so obvious, but later, the "scent" on his body became stronger and stronger, which made Ichikishima Hime unable to resist.

However, Uchiha Yoichi was very strong when he first arrived. Ichikishima-hime didn't make a move at first, but later she had no choice but to plead in this way.

"I can only give you one cup."

"One drink is fine, one drink it is. You bastard, are you messing with me?"

When Princess Ichikishima saw the small cup that Uchiha Yoichi took out, she immediately said angrily that the cup was a small sake cup for serving shochu, and that it was probably only enough for Princess Ichikishima to take a small sip.

"As long as you don't use chakra, you can drink it as much as you want if you can bite it down with your teeth."

"It's a deal!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Ichikishima's face lit up with joy. She immediately lay down on Uchiha Yoichi's neck, opened her mouth to reveal two snake fangs, and then bit down hard.

"Waaah~"

After biting for a while, Princess Ichikishima felt like she was biting a very hard piece of cowhide. Without chakra, she couldn't bite it at all. In the end, Princess Ichikishima bit and pulled with both hands, and her snake fangs were almost broken, but she still couldn't make a cut.

Every so often, a clone would transmit back the genetic energy it had cultivated, and at that time, Uchiha Yoichi would use the genetic energy to strengthen his body, making it very difficult for machine guns to penetrate his defenses.

Once his body is strengthened to the point of being like a diamond, even a B-rank wind-style ninjutsu can only leave a white mark on him.

"Why is your body so stiff?"

"Give up. It's impossible to do without chakra."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he controlled his Lightning Release chakra to condense a three-inch lightning blade on his finger, and then cut a gash on his wrist.

Fresh blood slowly dripped from the wound, just enough to fill the small wine glass, and then Uchiha Yoichi's wound healed on its own.

"They won't even give you more."

Despite saying that, Princess Ichikishima still picked up her sake cup and drank it all in one gulp, then licked it twice with relish before saying, "It's truly delicious. Those who have cultivated Sage Mode can't compare to you at all. What is it about you that makes you so delicious?"

"I'll tell you later. Now that the favor is repaid, I'm going back."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi had Shinya release the reverse summoning jutsu and send him back, giving Ichikishima-hime no chance to push her luck.

--------------

Upon returning to Konoha, Uchiha Yoichi first told Hatake Sakumo about it, and from then on, Ryuchi Cave would be the summoning beast of Konoha.

Once the White Snake Sage has finished making the new summoning scroll, he will bring it to Konoha.

When the time comes, ninjas who have made contributions and want to summon beasts can apply to the village; after signing a contract, they can summon the giant snake from Ryuchi Cave. If the first summoning goes smoothly, subsequent summonings will be based on the first one.

Furthermore, the summoned Ryuchi Cave Orochi also wears a Konoha headband, just like the ninja dogs of the Hatake and Inuzuka clans, as well as Hiruzen Sarutobi's Enma.

However, apart from ninjas of the Sarutobi clan, no one else can form a contract with Hiruzen Sarutobi's Enma.

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo nodded, then smiled and praised, "That's a good thing, Yoichi-kun. I'll have many Konoha headbands made, and I'll trouble you to deliver them to them. Also, I'll trouble you to spread the message to all the Konoha ninjas."

"Okay, I understand."

It wasn't until Uchiha Yoichi left the Hokage's office that he realized, "Why did I have to do all the work again?"

He then returned to his office, wrote the matter down in a document, stamped it, and said to Hinata Satomi, "Satomi, give this to Uchiha Masato of the Security Forces and tell him to get it done as soon as possible."

If you're interested, you can let me know, and I'll find you a satisfactory serpent in advance.

"Yes, Teacher Yangyi."

After Hinata Satomi finished speaking, seeing that Uchiha Yoichi was about to leave again, she asked, "Yoichi-sensei, are you going out?"

"Go to Konoha Hospital. I might not be back this afternoon. If it's urgent, come find me at the Uchiha clan compound."

Uchiha Yoichi said casually, and then left the office.

After meeting Tsunade, he wanted to try his hand at alchemy in the alchemy room to get a feel for it. If his clones could control Godzilla's abilities, he would have used a dozen or so clones to try alchemy.
