Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 72 The Physique for Absorbing Natural Energy

Ryongji Cave is located deep underground in their village, and it's not always easy to find.

Below their village are many open caves, the largest of which can accommodate thirty or forty people walking side by side.

Yongji-dong has always been regarded as a sacred place by them.

From the past to the present, only a very small number of people have been able to enter Ryuchi Cave, and even fewer have been able to come out of it.

Basically, it's less than one percent. If it weren't for the frequent disappearances and returns of people in the underground caves, they would have no idea that there was a holy site below.

"I'm not confident I can take you in. After leaving the Holy Land, not only will our clan's madness be cured, but our strength will also increase significantly. Many clansmen want to go in, so even if it's just a gamble, it's worth it."

The middle-aged village chief led the way while explaining the origins of the holy land and other information to Uchiha Yoichi.

"But it seems the Holy Land selects who enters. We've explored the underground caves many times, but the number of people who can enter is still pitifully small. In the last ten years, only one person has gone in, and he hasn't returned."

As they spoke, the middle-aged village chief led him through a deep underground cave, and they walked on fork in the road at a place filled with caves.

Further ahead, there are dozens of cave entrances, some only as tall as a person, while others are seven or eight meters high.

The middle-aged village chief stopped and turned to Uchiha Yoichi, saying, "I can't lead the way here anymore, and I don't know how to get further down."

"You're right not to know. There should be a barrier below. Although your physiques are somewhat special, you know nothing about chakra. Getting to Ryuchi Cave was purely a matter of luck."

Uchiha Yoichi activated his Sharingan and could faintly see traces of chakra remaining in the cave.

The location of Ryuchi Cave will not change, so some people can enter while others cannot. Apart from other dimensions, only a barrier can explain this.

"That's enough, Village Chief, you can go back now."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi patted the village chief on the shoulder and casually used his "Stealing Sheep" ability.

The next second, a magical feeling suddenly came over me.

Uchiha Yoichi suddenly felt that he was more sensitive to his environment and could sense the endless natural energy in the surrounding air.

"Well, then I'll head back now."

The middle-aged village chief shuddered, but he didn't know what was wrong with him. After hearing Uchiha Yoichi tell him to leave, he didn't think much of it and turned to leave.

However, the middle-aged village chief felt that the growing sense of oppression had suddenly lessened considerably.

[Ability activated successfully; 'Natural Energy Absorption Physique' acquired]

"A constitution that absorbs natural energy? No wonder, what I'm feeling is natural energy, and it seems like I can absorb it with every breath."

Uchiha Yoichi speculated that this village had an ancestor who successfully cultivated Sage Mode, which unexpectedly altered his bloodline limit, and this has been passed down through generations, resulting in their current physique.

However, the people in this village clearly did not inherit the full range of energy; they could only absorb it, and once they reached saturation, they could only release the energy in their bodies by going crazy.

Finally, Jugo approached Orochimaru, and the abilities of his clan were researched and turned into cursed seals.

"If I have this constitution that allows me to absorb natural energy, will I go insane like them?"

Uchiha Yoichi was a little worried about this, but after thinking about it, he stopped thinking about it and decided to go to Ryuchi Cave first and ask him about it later.

After acquiring a new physique, Uchiha Yoichi found that he was more adapted to the environment and more sensitive to the flow of natural energy. Combined with the Sharingan's insight into chakra, he quickly found the way to Ryuchi Cave.

After walking for an hour or two, Uchiha Yoichi discovered that there was a barrier ahead, but it was covered by mist.

As he traversed the mist, Uchiha Yoichi sensed something was amiss, but he continued forward nonetheless.

After crossing it, the thick fog continued, but as he walked, the scene in front of Uchiha Yangyan slowly changed, and soon it became a magnificent palace.

The next second, a green-haired girl in a white dress walked out of the palace. She was beautiful and her skin was as pale as snow.

"Welcome. It's been a long time since we've had any visitors from outside. You must be tired after walking for so long. Please sit down and rest for a while, and have something to eat before you continue your journey."

Uchiha Yoichi remained calm and expressionless upon seeing the polite greeting from the young girl before him; the three tomoe in his pupils swirled slightly, and he slowly drew his Raiga ninja sword.

"I'm here to see Shinya. Please show me the way. If you're not going to show me the way, don't use this kind of illusion to confuse the Uchiha clan."

"Uchiha? I see. It seems you saw through my genjutsu."

Tashin Shinki noticed the Sharingan in Uchiha Yoichi's eyes. Then, her cute girl image slowly vanished, and her face gradually revealed a snake-like form. She continued, her expression slightly ferocious, "No matter what you've come here for, since you've come to Ryuchi Cave, you must accept the test!"

The next second, Princess Tianxin flew backward and quickly disappeared into the thick fog, and the palace she had just seen also vanished.

"This is so troublesome!"

Uchiha Yoichi continued walking inside and soon passed through the mist to arrive at another maze-like place.

Hehe~

A burst of silvery laughter rang out clearly in the space.

Uchiha Yoichi saw a loli girl floating in the air, appearing and disappearing repeatedly in front of him, trying to lure him into the trial cave in this way.

If it weren't for the fact that these three snake princesses had lived for hundreds of years and possessed considerable strength, Uchiha Yang would have already held Rai-ga to their necks and forced them to take him to Shin-ga.

Boom!

As Uchiha Yoichi entered a cave, the rock door behind him suddenly fell down.

"Hehe~, play a game with me. If you pass this game, you can advance to the next level."

Princess Ichikishima suddenly appeared, floating in the air while hugging her slender, snow-white legs, and continued, "I am Princess Ichikishima. If you fill the hole in the door with the stones from the cave, you win, and I will let you leave~"

"I don't need you to let me leave, and I won't play this idiotic game with you. This is a Rock Gate, and I have lightning attributes!"

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi's body was filled with lightning, and he quickly slashed with the Raiga Ninja Sword wrapped in dense lightning, and then fiercely stabbed it towards the stone gate.

Rumble!

With a loud explosion, the stone wall, less than half a meter high, was shattered by Uchiha Yoichi's sword.

"You, you cheated! I'm going to eat you!"

Upon seeing this, Princess Ichikishima revealed her anger, and the next second, the loli's face instantly showed signs of a snake.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi's blood-red pupils spun rapidly with the three tomoe, and his hands quickly formed more than a dozen hand seals, unleashing "Fire Release: Great Fire."

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Princess Tsurugi appeared between Princess Ichikishima and Uchiha Yoichi, stopping their fight. After that, she said to Uchiha Yoichi, "You have passed the test. I will take you to see the White Snake Sage."

"Where's your third challenge?"

Uchiha Yoichi said, "Also, I'm looking for Shinya."

Tsurugi said, "Illusions have little effect on the Sharingan. The test that Takoshi and I gave you was actually the least effective. As for Shinja, you can go find it after you meet the White Snake Sage."
