Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 223 The Snake Queen of Ryuchi Cave (Third and Fourth Updates)

Night fell.

Aburame Shiki and the others have left Otogakure and arrived at a forest in the heart of the Land of Fire.

Uchiha Sasuke set up four tents.

One each of Shiki Aburame, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

Might Guy, Kakashi Hatake, and Sasuke Uchiha share one.

After dinner, Shiki called Orochimaru away.

The two arrived at the riverbank, which was not far from the camp.

"Orochimaru, can you summon the three high-ranking members of Ryuchi Cave?"

"It's oil-loving Zhihui," he asked directly.

He wanted to use the Snake-Controlling Gu.

The White Snake Immortal couldn't control it, and the other snakes were of average strength and couldn't transform into human form.

The only suitable targets are the three high-ranking officials, namely the three Snake Princesses: Tashin-no-Kami-hime, Ichi-no-Kishima-hime, and Tatsumi-hime.

"It's difficult."

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "The three top leaders hold high positions and will not accept the summons of contractors."

"Is there any way?"

Aburame Shiki did not see the three great snake princesses being summoned in the original work.

"Go to Ryuchi Cave to see them."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and then said.

Will the White Snake Sage find out?

Yu Nuzhihui frowned slightly and asked.

"Won't."

Orochimaru explained, "The White Snake Sage lives in a temple deep within Ryuchi Cave, and even contractors rarely see it."

Yu Nu Zhihui fell into deep thought.

Should Orochimaru be sent alone to Ryuchi Cave with the snake-taming gu?

But can he defeat the three great Cassiopeia?

If it fails, then the losses will outweigh the gains.

The best solution is for him to go along as well.

To reach Ryuchi Cave, one must either find the entrance or use a reverse spirit communication technique.

Finding the entrance takes time.

The reverse spirit communication technique means that Shiki Aburame will become a contractor of Ryuchi-dong.

He naturally refused.

Then you can achieve your goal indirectly.

"Orochimaru, you will sign a contract to become a contractor of Shikkotsu Forest, and then go to Ryuchi Cave."

"Oil Girl Zhihui said, "Once we arrive, summon the slug, and then have it summon me."

Even if we were to be discovered, it wouldn't matter.

If you can't beat the White Snake Immortal, surely you can outrun him?

And Ryuchi Cave dares to come out and attack Konoha Village?

When the time comes, he'll bring Shikkotsu Forest with him, and Jiraiya will bring Mount Myōboku. How could Konoha Village possibly be destroyed?

"Yes."

Orochimaru agreed without hesitation.

Oil Girl Zhihui bit her thumb and slapped it on the ground.

With a bang.

A slug the size of a fist appeared.

"Lord Slug, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Yu Nu Zhihui repeated his thoughts.

"Lord Zhihui."

The slug hesitated before saying, "If the white snake notices, your life will be in danger."

"It's not a big problem."

Aburame Shiki said with a smile, "I just need to hold out against it until you use the Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique."

"Alright then."

The slug said gently, "If it really comes to a last resort, leave the White Snake to me."

Although the three immortals have different abilities, their strength is similar, and none of them can defeat the other.

"Thank you, Slug Lord."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui said seriously."

Compared to the Great Toad Sage and the White Snake Sage, the Slug Sage is much more pure and has a conscientious feel to him.

This is what a truly excellent summoning beast looks like.

The slug took out a psychic scroll.

After Orochimaru signed his name, he officially became the contractor of Shikkotsu Forest.

Soon, his body disappeared.

He was summoned to Ryuchi Cave.

A dozen seconds later, the slug turned into a puff of smoke.

After waiting for a moment, Aburame Zhihui felt a call from the depths of his being.

After he agreed, the scenery before him suddenly changed.

We came from the dense forest into the cold, dark cave.

"Go see Princess Ichikishima."

Yu Nu Zhihui has already set his sights on a goal.

The three Snake Princesses share similar abilities, such as levitation and invisibility, but also possess different abilities.

Princess Ichikishima is an absorptive.

Princess Tianxin is an illusion.

Princess Tsuratsu is a bondage.

"Come with me."

Orochimaru looked around and found a passage.

A few minutes later, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a fairly large underground castle.

Orochimaru stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Princess Ichikishima stepped out.

This is a seemingly delicate and beautiful little girl, but in reality, she is a thousand-year-old monster who kills without hesitation.

She was wearing a white long gown and a golden crown.

Long, dark blue hair, golden vertical pupils, and red eyeshadow.

Her skin was snow-white, and she wore blue-green earrings.

"Lady Ichikishima, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Orochimaru pointed at Shiki Aburame and said, "This is the offering I brought for you."

Ninjas who enter Ryuchi Cave for training and fail will be eaten by the three great snake princesses.

Yu Nu Zhihui stared blankly, pretending to be under an illusion.

To avoid attracting the attention of the White Snake Immortal, he planned to outsmart him.

One offering is not enough.

Princess Ichikishima opened her mouth, revealing sharp teeth and a tongue far longer and thinner than a human's.

At the end of the tongue, there is a fork.

"He is the contractor of Shikkotsu Forest."

Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "One of them is worth ten."

"Oh?"

Princess Ichikishima immediately became interested.

Her body rose without wind and floated to the top of Yu Nu Zhi Hui's head before stopping.

"Let me try it first."

Princess Ichikishima's mouth spread out to both sides, revealing sharp teeth.

She bit at the oil-loving Zhihui.

Just then, a beam of black light suddenly flew into her mouth.

"What did you give me to eat?"

Princess Ichikishima swallowed unconsciously.

She noticed the problem, and her once cute little face became contorted in pain.

But soon, her body trembled.

Looking at Yu Nu Zhihui, she felt a sense of submission.

"Princess Ichikishima greets her master."

Princess Ichikishima regained her composure, and she knelt with her forehead pressed against the ground, speaking with utmost respect.

"I will summon you tomorrow. Try your best not to let Ryuchi Cave discover anything unusual."

Looking at Princess Ichikishima lying prostrate on the ground, Shiki Aburame thought to himself, "She really does have the habits of a snake."

"Yes, Master."

Princess Ichikishima remained completely in awe.

"Let's go back."

Oil Girl Zhihui looked at the slug.

Orochimaru didn't react much because of the slave curse.

But the slug seemed quite shocked.

This is one of the three highest levels in Ryūchi-dong.

Princess Ichikishima possesses the ability to transform into human form.

Strictly speaking, she is no longer a spirit beast, but more like a monster or a future immortal.

But was he so easily subdued by Aburame Shiki?

It's absolutely terrifying.

[Achieve the "Hero of the Grassroots" achievement to receive the Earthly Corpse Gu as a reward.]

[Earthly Corpse Gu: A fifth-level Gu worm, possessing the Dao of Transformation. Upon use, it transforms into the Earthly Corpse, one of the six great flying zombies.]

What the hell?

Yu Nuzhihui's expression suddenly froze.

hero of the bush?

I didn't do anything.

System, you're slandering me!

Although the reward was decent, it still couldn't suppress Aburame Shiki's urge to complain.

Smoke rose.

Aburame Shiki and Orochimaru returned to the riverbank.

"Thank you for your help today, Lord Slug."

After expressing his gratitude to the slug, Yu Nu Zhihui dispelled the psychic spell.

Orochimaru returned to his tent.

Aburame Shiki was originally going back to the tent prepared for him, but he stopped in front of Tsunade's tent.

"Come in."

Just as he hesitated, Tsunade's voice rang out.

Oil Girl Zhihui immediately went into the tent.

"What are you doing out there?"

Tsunade lay in the sleeping bag, only her head sticking out.

"I'm wondering if the teacher should have a late-night snack."

Yu Nu Zhihui coughed lightly and said.

"lie."

Tsunade showed no mercy and exposed his lies.

"All right."

"I just want to be with my teacher," said Ayano Shiki with a smile.

"..."

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat. She looked away and after a long while said, "It's too late, let's go to sleep."

"OK!"

Yu Nuzhihui suddenly became somewhat excited.

He took out his sleeping bag and lay down next to Tsunade.

The tent fell silent.

Tsunade listened absentmindedly to Shiki Aburame's steady breathing.

This kid really doesn't miss any opportunity.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she turned around and faced You Nu Zhihui.

The summer night is bathed in a hazy glow.

She could clearly see Yu Nu Zhihui's face.

It looks quite nice when it's quiet.

Tsunade smiled slightly, then closed her eyes.

Silent all night.

early morning.

Sunlight streamed through the branches.

The tent gradually brightened.

Tsunade opened her eyes and saw Aburame Shiki looking her over.

She was slightly startled, and then her consciousness gradually returned.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tsunade opened her sleeping bag, sat up, and asked.

"Because it's beautiful."

"Oil Girl Zhihui answered."

"Glib-tongued."

Tsunade glared at him and said, "Get out of here right now, or you'll be discovered."

"Teacher, don't you think what we're doing is a bit like stealing...?"

Before Shiki Aburame could even utter the word "love," Tsunade raised her delicate foot and kicked him.

He grabbed her feet with both hands and tickled the soles of her feet twice as revenge.

"Hurry up!"

Tsunade's body trembled, and she quickly withdrew her foot.

"Yes."

Oil Girl Zhihui left with a smile.

After breakfast, the group continued their journey.

At noon, we finally arrived at Konoha Village.

Aburame Shiki took Orochimaru to the Hokage Building.

Tsunade and the others dispersed on the spot and went about their business.

Orochimaru's appearance at the Hokage Building caused quite a stir.

The way everyone looked at Yu Nu Zhihui changed.

The fact that Orochimaru was so obediently following behind the Hokage speaks volumes about what had happened.

At this moment, Aburame Shiki's reputation reached its peak.

Orochimaru?!

Shizune was terrified when she saw Shiki Aburame and Orochimaru walk into the Hokage's office.

However, she soon discovered the problem.

She had just thought Orochimaru had kidnapped Shiki Aburame, but the situation was clearly the opposite.

"I've put a curse on Orochimaru."

Aburame Shiki sat in the Hokage's chair and casually said, "He's under my control now, so you don't need to worry."

"It's actually true?"

"Silent said with an incredulous look on her face."

"Of course it's true."

Aburame Shiki said with a smile, "Orochimaru, you must not harm anyone in Konoha."

"Yes."

Orochimaru answered respectfully.

"It's simply..."

Silent opened her mouth, unsure how to describe it.

As a ninja from Konoha Village, I grew up listening to stories of the Three Legendary Sannin.

In particular, having followed Tsunade for many years, she deeply understands their strength.

Now, Orochimaru has actually bowed down to Shiki Aburame.

Shizune subconsciously closed her black-stockinged legs.

People naturally admire those who are strong.

Moreover, she had a special relationship with the oil-loving Zhihui.

"Sister Shizune".

Aburame Shiki mentioned Orochimaru's arrangements, "He will be in charge of the cursed seal experiments from now on."

Jingyin snapped out of her daze, still feeling disoriented.

She didn't realize what was happening until Zhihui, the oil-loving woman, patted her on her pencil skirt.

"Yes."

Jingyin glared at him as she spoke.

Oil Girl Zhihui raised an eyebrow.

Startled, Jingyin quickly took two steps back, putting some distance between herself and him.

"Orochimaru, summon Princess Ichikishima."

Seeing this, Zhihui, the oil-producing woman, let her go.

Orochimaru bit his thumb and slammed it to the ground.

Spiritual communication!

As the smoke cleared, Princess Ichikishima appeared.

"What's wrong with her?"

Shizune's gaze sharpened, and she couldn't help but ask.

"The upper floors of Ryūchi-dong."

Aburame Shiki casually said, "Shizune-neechan, why don't you take Orochimaru to the lab?"

Shizune glanced at Ichikishima-hime.

She's so petite and looks so small, there shouldn't be any problems.

"There's one more thing."

Aburame Shiki suddenly remembered something and said, "Remember to spread the word that I captured Orochimaru and brought him back to Konoha."

"I see."

Silent nodded.

She took Orochimaru and left the Hokage's office.

"Have you taken care of things at Ryuchi-dong?"

Aburame Shiki looked at Ichikishima-hime and asked.

"Going back only once in a while is fine."

Princess Ichikishima replied.

"That's good."

Oil Girl Zhihui stroked his chin, pondering her uses.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be of little use.

However, she is quite capable and would be suitable as a bodyguard.

"What's the smallest your snake body can be?"

After thinking for a moment, You Nuzhihui asked.

Princess Ichikishima clapped her hands together.

With a bang.

Her body disappeared, replaced by a small, deep blue, crystal-like snake, less than five centimeters long.

"So small?"

Yu Nu Zhihui was somewhat surprised.

It should be quite useful for ambushing people at crucial moments.

"From now on, when no one is around, use the human form."

You Nu Zhihui looked around, took out a pen holder, and said, "If there are any outsiders, you can stay inside."

"Yes."

Princess Ichikishima leaped into the pen holder.

Yu Nuzhihui glanced at it and felt a sense of raising a small pet in his past life.

Moreover, Princess Ichikishima remained motionless, much like a crystal toy.

Not long after, the door was opened again.

"Zhihui".

Shizune walked in and said, "Both things have been arranged."

"Thank you, Sister Shizune."

Aburame Shiki casually flipped through the documents and asked, "Has anything happened in Konoha Village lately?"

"no."

Shizune paused for a moment, then said, "There is something that concerns Lady Tsunade."

"What?"

Oil Girl Zhihui looked up at her.

"Next week is August."

"Mute me," the voice reminded.

"It's the teacher's birthday."

Oil Girl Zhihui realized what was happening.

Tsunade's birthday is August 2nd.

What should I send?

Yu Nu Zhihui seemed to be deep in thought.

He thought of the idea that human power could overcome the heavens.

Let's go with this one.

Once Tsunade awakens her potential and becomes a Gu Master, she will be able to use Sage Mode more freely.

As for him, he doesn't need it.

Moreover, among the five-stage Gu worms, there is a second type called the Void Aperture Gu.

Two in one. Just a heads-up, I'll be a traitor on my birthday.
