The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Bang~"

A plume of white smoke rose from the spot.

When the white smoke dissipated, Uchiha Sasuke had vanished without a trace.

At this moment, on the streets of Konoha Village.

Uchiha Tonan was playing with goldfish with Uzumaki Boruto at a small shop on the street.

The moment Uchiha Sasuke disappeared, Uchiha Tonan's expression shifted slightly.

Boruto, who was standing nearby, seized the opportunity and quickly scooped up the fish with a net that looked like a miniature tennis racket.

As a result, the fish in the water flicked its tail and easily dodged it.

Boruto looked distressed and said, "This net is too small; it can't catch anything at all."

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he picked up a fishing net and said calmly:

"There are always some fish that want to jump out of their original environment and explore the truth of this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small goldfish leaped out of the water.

As if he could predict where the goldfish would land, Uchiha Tunan calmly extended the fishing net forward.

The little goldfish fell perfectly into the fishing net.

"In the end, they just walked right into a trap."

[Chapter 370. Searching for People in the Holy Land: The Immortal Technique and the Giant Serpent]

After performing the Reverse Summoning Technique, Uchiha Sasuke appeared in a dense fog where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

The reason for using the reverse summoning technique is that the summoning beasts of Ryuchi Cave in this era do not know Sasuke.

If a high-level serpent like Manda were summoned to Konoha, it might cause some trouble.

The smaller snakes, however, generally do not speak human language and cannot communicate with Sasuke.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

In the mist, Uchiha Sasuke walked slowly forward.

After a few minutes, some lights appeared in the fog ahead.

As they drew closer, the gate to Ryuchi Cave finally came into view of Uchiha Sasuke.

From its appearance, the gate of Yongji-dong resembles a Chinese restaurant, about ten meters high.

Several thick, coiled pillars stood outside the gate, and rows of large red lanterns hung under the eaves.

Above the tightly closed gate hangs a plaque with the three characters "Longdi Cave" written vertically in a flamboyant style.

As soon as Uchiha Sasuke arrived at the gate, it opened by itself, revealing a magnificent interior.

Behind the door stood a dignified woman dressed in white.

It was none other than the Snake Princess of Ryūchi-dō.

"Welcome to Yongji-dong."

Sasuke remained expressionless and walked straight inside.

Tianxin Snake Princess was not annoyed by Uchiha Sasuke's indifference. With a smile, she pointed to the dishes laid out in the hall and said:

"Guests must be tired. There is food prepared especially for you. Please don't be shy."

Uchiha Sasuke was naturally aware of the trials at Ryuchi Cave.

He immediately turned to look at Tianxin Snake Princess and said coldly, "I'm looking for the White Snake Immortal, not to ask for immortal techniques."

Tianxin Snake Princess paused for a moment, then covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled softly, saying:

"I see. The White Snake Immortal is busy."

Please rest for a while, and I'll take you there later.

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly, "The illusion of Ryuchi Cave is useless against me. If you continue to subject me to this kind of boring trial, then I don't mind keeping a reverse scale."

As soon as she finished speaking, a look of annoyance appeared on Tianxin Snake Princess's face, and her originally delicate face was transformed into a terrifying snake face.

The bright lights in the hall went out instantly.

Those dishes that originally looked delicious have turned into withered bones and dried skin.

But then, the Snake Princess flicked out her tongue, her snake-like eyes fixed on Uchiha Sasuke, and said:

"What an impolite guy. I thought I was going to get to taste some fresh chakra. What a disappointment."

The first trial in Ryuchi Cave is overseen by the Snake Princess of the Field Heart. Anyone who does not eat the dishes prepared by the Snake Princess of the Field Heart will pass.

If you eat the dish, you will faint and be devoured by the Snake Princess.

Of course, rules are rules, but these guys in Ryūchi-dō have never been very willing to follow them.

Sasuke Uchiha's expression turned cold. He activated the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye and the Rinnegan with six tomoe in his left, staring at Snake Princess and saying leisurely:

"It seems you're trying to break the rules of Ryuchi-dong."

Just then, the surrounding scenery began to shimmer and shift.

In a short while, the two found themselves in front of an ancient temple.

A timeless and ancient sound emanated from the temple.

"Let him in."

Tianxin Snake Princess immediately put away her fierce appearance, reverting to her previous demeanor, and politely nodded to Uchiha Sasuke:

"Since the White Snake Immortal has invited you, then you naturally do not need to undergo the trials that follow."

Uchiha Sasuke ignored the small fry like Tashin Snake Princess and went straight into the temple.

Inside the spacious, dimly lit temple, massive steps lead inwards.

At the end of the steps was a huge seat.

An elderly woman with white hair and squinting eyes was lying across the seat.

This kind-looking old lady is none other than the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave.

As soon as Uchiha Sasuke entered the temple, he heard the White Snake Sage making a sound that seemed like babbling.

"Humans are born with desires and are destined to slowly fall into darkness."

Everyone who comes to me seeks to satisfy their desires.

But you are different. You have the eyes of an immortal, so you don't need my help at all.

What exactly do you want from me?

Sasuke Uchiha remained expressionless and said leisurely, "I want to know where Orochimaru is."

Upon hearing this, the White Snake Immortal raised his eyelids, seemingly hesitating whether to speak.

After all, the White Snake Sage had some understanding of Orochimaru's situation.

In addition, Orochimaru had signed a contract with Ryuchi Cave.

If the person in front of him was here to cause trouble for Orochimaru, then the White Snake Sage certainly wouldn't have said so.

Seeing that the White Snake Sage did not reply, Uchiha Sasuke pondered for a moment and said:

"It seems Orochimaru is still alive."

I have no grudges or disputes with Orochimaru.

I came here to ask Orochimaru for information about Uchiha Tonan.

Of course, if you know, please tell me.

Upon hearing this, the White Snake Immortal narrowed his eyes again and said slowly:

“Uchiha.......Tunan.......

Sorry, I haven't been out for too long, and I don't have the old toad's prophetic abilities.

As for Orochimaru, he is currently training in Sage Mode at Ryuchi Cave.

"Let Tianxin Snake Princess take you there."

Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sage Mode... Shouldn't Orochimaru of this era be researching immortality and dreaming of eternal life?

It seems even Orochimaru has changed; he's actually practicing Sage Mode from Ryuchi Cave.

Thank you.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't ask any more questions and turned to walk out of the temple.

Led by Tianxin Henji, they headed deeper into Ryuchi Cave.

Deep within Ryūchi Cave.

Although there are no blue skies and white clouds here, it doesn't feel like being in a cave.

Along the way, there were mountains, rivers, and forests, but everywhere was shrouded in a thin mist like wisps of smoke.

After leading Sasuke Uchiha to the edge of a forest, Tashin Hebi stopped and gestured for him to go in by himself.

Uchiha Sasuke walked deeper into the forest, and soon saw Orochimaru standing in a clearing ahead, dressed in a white kimono.

"I heard you were looking for me, Uchiha with the Sage's Eyes."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the two horns sprouting from Orochimaru's forehead and said calmly, "Looks like you've succeeded."

Although Orochimaru did not recognize Sasuke Uchiha, he did not show any surprise. It was clear that the White Snake Sage had already told Sasuke about him before he arrived.

Orochimaru stuck out his long, thin tongue, suppressing his greed, and said humbly:

"It's only a small achievement, but it's far from enough."

For people to live a peaceful life, longevity alone is not enough; they also need strong capabilities to protect them.

You instill a strange fear in me; you must be very powerful.

Although I have been away from Konoha for some time, I still know who the most powerful people are.
