Escape From Konoha

Temple backyard.

Compared with the temples built by humans, they are more magnificent and larger. In Shiraishi's view, the temple in Ryūchi Cave is the same size as the temple in Toad Village on Mt. Myoboku.

Ichikijima-hime, who was slightly unhappy with Shiraishi and Ruri before, is now leading the way with trepidation.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt like there were thorns on her back, as if there were a pair of scarlet eyes staring closely at her.

This feeling made the hairs all over her body stand up. If the White Snake Immortal hadn't asked her to lead the way for the two humans, she would have fled long ago.

Putting that man aside, this woman is really terrifying.

The huge thunder sword that swept over left a deep impression on her to this day. The indelible fear lingered around her and stimulated her extremely sensitive nerves.

Thick red logs stand on both sides of the temple road, and red lanterns are hung on the logs. In this dark and secluded space, such red lanterns not only fail to bring the slightest sense of security, but instead reveal a bit of sinisterness. different.

Through the brief fight between White Snake Immortal and Liuli just now, Bai Shi knew that White Snake Immortal was not a simple existence, but this aesthetic... was really a bit unflattering.

Such an eerie temple gave him the illusion of being in a netherworld.

However, for ordinary humans, Longdi Cave is indeed a netherworld hell, from which there is no return.

Judging from Ichikishimahime's extremely warm hospitality, most of the humans who came to Ryuji Cave in the past probably did not end well.

"This is where the White Snake Immortal lives."

Stopped before darkness.

Ichikishimahime took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from her face, pointed forward and said.

In the darkness in front of you, you can see looming red wooden steps, stretching infinitely into the depths of the dark space, making it impossible to see where the end of such red steps is.

Deep and far away.

And a deathly tranquility.

"You go over there, I won't accompany you."

After Ichikishimahime finished speaking, her feet floated and flew towards the void, quickly disappearing in front of Shiraishi and Ruri.

"Let's go."

Not paying attention to where Ichikishimahime was going, Shiraishi took the lead in stepping onto the red steps hidden in the dark space and climbed up.

Liuli followed closely behind, staring at the space with his red Sharingan, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

Can't see through.

This mysterious dark space blocks the power of insight of the Sharingan and blocks the pupil power of the Sharingan.

You can only feel the boundless magic chakra lingering around, giving people an unparalleled sense of oppression.

This is the aura that White Snake Immortal exudes unnaturally.

One can imagine the other party's attainments in immortality.

Liuli somewhat understood why Shiraishi needed help to deal with the giant toad sage in Miaomu Mountain.

If the Great Toad Immortal is also an equal monster, then if the three of them want to defeat each other, they may have to pay an extremely heavy price, or even fail.

The red steps extending into the darkness felt very long, but in fact, Shiraishi and Liuli finished it in less than half a minute.

However, this does not mean that it is easy to walk through the red steps. If you cannot detect the illusion in it, you will probably walk endlessly on the red steps for the rest of your life until you die of exhaustion.

Such an illusion would be difficult to see through without the magic chakra to resist it.

Coming to the top of the steps, there is a huge and empty platform.

At the edge of the platform, it was still wrapped in endless deep darkness, and boundless darkness could be seen.

In front, there is a huge throne. Behind the throne is a huge stone snake head, but if you look closely, it looks like a dragon. In its open mouth, it holds a huge black and red scroll. The scroll is exposed. There are three words written on one side: "Longdi Cave".

On the throne, there is a large white phosphorus snake coiled.

The huge throne can only accommodate part of the body of this white phosphorus snake. More of the body is wrapped around the surrounding stone pillars, or stretches into the endless darkness behind, with white light looming.

It is impossible to imagine how long the opponent's body is, but the abyss-like magical chakra contained in this white phosphorus snake's body clearly reveals the opponent's identity - the White Snake Immortal.

The supreme leader of Longdi Cave.

The direct superiors of elders such as Ichikishima Hime and Immortal Snake.

Long orange hair hangs loosely on the top of its head, wrapped in a purple ribbon with a red gemstone inlaid on it.

Below, there is also a green cat's eye gem hanging.

Like the red gem, it contains a very powerful energy.

On the white torso, there are two golden metal rings, shining in the darkness.

In the snake's mouth, it was holding a pipe very fashionably, and from time to time it was happily blowing out white smoke rings, floating into the sky.

It lowered its head at this time, using its golden vertical pupils to look at the white stone and colored glass that appeared in front of it, and then... continued to puff out smoke rings happily, like an addict who was addicted to cigarettes, smoking without leaving his mouth.

Speaking of which, Shiraishi suddenly remembered that the toads in Mount Miaomu also seemed to like smoking...

When he went to Miaomu Mountain to investigate, he found that almost half of the toads had their own favorite pipes, which they took out and smoked from time to time.

"Excuse me, are you the White Snake Immortal?"

After a moment of silence, Shiraishi took a step forward and asked.

The White Snake Immortal blew out a smoke ring, nodded his huge head casually, and replied in a hoarse old voice: "It's me. What's the matter with you two humans coming to Longdi Cave to find me? From what you two have learned, Judging from the magical arts, it shouldn’t be for the purpose of learning Laoshen’s magical arts.”

The golden vertical pupils stared straight at Bai Shi and Liu Li. The magic they practiced could be seen through at a glance.

"However, the composition of the immortal arts is not like the group of smelly toads in Miaomu Mountain, nor is it like the slug in Shiggy Bone Forest... This is quite interesting."

Immortal White Snake commented with admiration in his tone.

As for surprise, after living for thousands of years, nothing can make it feel moved.

Even if there is a magic system other than the three holy places, it is just the inevitable of the times. There are countless intelligent people or animals in this world.

Rather, it would be better to say that other systems of magic were discovered so late, but it was many years too late.

"It's a worthwhile trip to be praised by immortals."

Shiraishi smiled modestly.

"Okay, don't do such nonsense in front of me... You smell like that slug. Are you its contractor? Why, didn't it come with you?"

The White Snake Immortal stretched out the snake's head, stretched out his scarlet tongue, and hissed twice in front of Bai Shi, as if he was sniffing something.

"The snakes didn't come, we came here on our own."

Shiraishi replied with a smile.

"You know? Everything that happens in Longdi Cave cannot be hidden from my eyes."

The White Snake Immortal sneered, seeming to be laughing at Bai Shi's overestimation of his abilities.

Shiraishi was not embarrassed, and even though the lie was exposed by the White Snake Immortal, he was not nervous at all.

"Forget it, since it hasn't come over, it's probably because it's afraid that I will continue to pester it. Speaking of which, among the three of us, it is the only one who is the most indifferent to the world, neither fighting nor grabbing, and looks at the world from the perspective of a bystander. Only it is closest to the realm of 'immortal', because that stinky toad and I both have our own obsessions."

Speaking of this, Immortal White Snake's voice was filled with emotion.

Baishi listened quietly to the White Snake Immortal's story without any intrusive interruption.

After all, he was also very interested in these ancient experiences.

"So, it seems that I have reached the age where I am sad for autumn and sad for spring... Is it decades or centuries since we last met these two?"

Withdrawing his head, the White Snake Immortal's golden pupils showed a trace of memory, as if he was looking for the unforgettable battle years in the past.

Calling himself an immortal, he should have no desires or desires, but the word 'power' makes him unable to accept that he is weaker than other creatures.

Especially the toad that was devoured by the snake as food actually surpassed itself in strength. This kind of failure made it feel unprecedented shame!

"Time is not forgiving..."

The White Snake Immortal continued to think about it to himself, seeming to have forgotten the existence of the two humans in front of him.

After a long time, it was freed from the memories and regained its vigor, and the clear color in the golden vertical pupils was restored.

"Okay, two humans, let me listen to your appeal. As a reward for passing the trial, if it is within my ability, I will consider helping you."

The White Snake Immortal slowly curled up the body of the snake and asked in a kind tone.

Like a compassionate old woman, she is caring for her grandson and granddaughter meticulously.

But this is an illusion.

If it weren't for Baishi and Liuli's display of power that made the immortals look at them, they would only become the blood food of the big snakes in Longdi Cave.

Only with great power can he attract the attention of the White Snake Immortal.

If they were defeated by Ichikijima Hime and other elders before, the White Snake Immortal would only watch in cold blood as they were sucked dry of the celestial chakra, and then died in endless pain.

As Immortal White Snake asked, Bai Shi also knew that any concealment was meaningless in front of such existences, so after a pause, he said straight to the point: "Immortal White Snake, I am here this time for A deal.”

"trade?"

There was a trace of confusion in the eyes of the White Snake Immortal at first, and then there was a look of interest. Apparently, he did not expect that the humans who traveled thousands of miles to Longdi Cave were to make a deal with the Immortal.

This is an unprecedented first time.

The human beings who came to visit it in the past all abandoned their self-esteem to pray for it to bestow the supreme fairy art, chasing the way of the overlord.

However, those who fail to practice immortal arts will be eaten by it as food. Only humans who have successfully practiced immortal arts are eligible to leave here.

The only exception is a ninja named Orochimaru who signed a contract with Ryuji Cave in recent years.

After failing to practice immortality, he managed to escape using his own ninjutsu, and he was barely a contractor of half of Ryūji Cave.

So, what kind of deal are these two human beings who have successfully practiced immortality coming to find themselves?

Immortal White Snake didn't know, but the light in his eyes showed that he was very interested in it.

Just treat it as a whim, if the content of the transaction is interesting, it doesn't mind making this unknown transaction with humans.

"Yes, exactly the deal."

"Then tell me what the deal is."

Immortal White Snake's eyes fell on Bai Shi.

It initially thought that the stronger Liuli was the leader, but now it seems that it is obvious that this man is the real person in charge.

"Attack Mt. Myoboku."

Shiraishi only said these five words.

After he finished these words, the air became silent.

It's so quiet that even the slightest breathing can be heard clearly.

Immortal White Snake was like a sculpture, fixed on the throne, motionless, with a look of astonishment and surprise in his eyes.

Attack Mt. Myoboku?

Humanity?

Union it?

"I don't understand what you mean, human, tell me again, what deal are you going to do?"

The White Snake Immortal was confirmed again.

"Attack Mt. Myoboku."

Baishi still gave the same answer, raised his head, and met the golden eyes of the White Snake Immortal, with a serious expression, not joking.

The White Snake Immortal fell silent, this answer was beyond its expectation.

There was silence for about ten seconds, and suddenly a hoarse and ugly laughter sounded in this dark space, like a crow calling.

The White Snake Immortal opened his mouth wide and kept laughing out loud.

The huge and long and narrow body also twitched, as if he couldn't help it.

In response to the White Snake Immortal's laughter, a faint smile appeared on Baishi's face. He looked at the White Snake Immortal calmly, waiting for its laughter to stop, with a calm and unhurried look in his eyes.

I don't know how long this kind of laughter lasted until Immortal White Snake stopped the laughter.

But there was still a little laughter leaking from his mouth, and Immortal White Snake suppressed it as much as possible.

"Human, your deal is very interesting... What is your reason for attacking Mount Miaomu? And why are you looking for Laoshen?"

After the White Snake Immortal finished laughing, there seemed to be big tears in his eyes, and he asked Baishi.

Shiraishi smiled faintly and said: "Miaomu Mountain plans to join forces with the Konoha Ninja Village to deal with me, so I plan to strike first. For this, I need your help, White Snake Sage. In this world, only you can defeat the big enemy." Toad Immortal."

"Myoboku Mountain united with the Konoha Ninja Village...Konoha...where have you heard this name...By the way, it's the ninja village where the human brat named Orochimaru used to be."

Immortal White Snake seemed to have remembered something, and knew what Konoha Ninja Village was.

However, it is still surprised by Miaomushan's alliance with human forces.

"Impossible! Although that stinky toad used to like to meddle in other people's business, it is impossible for it to directly unite with human forces. Are you deceiving me?"

Immediately, an incomparably ferocious light emerged from the golden vertical pupils of the White Snake Immortal, staring fiercely at Baishi.

What it means to unite with human forces, Immortal White Snake naturally knows.

Although as a holy place for psychic beasts, it often communicates with humans, but the two sides are nothing more than what they need and what they need.

The connection between the Holy Land and human beings is only in life, and the reason for their union is only because of the contract. This kind of contract does not mean that the Holy Land has reached an alliance with a certain human force. Even if it is an enemy, as long as it passes the trial, the Holy Land will give it equal contractual assistance.

For this reason, even in the Holy Land, there are factional disputes.

For example, it is not a big deal if one lineage supports one side, and the other lineage supports the other side, competing with each other, or even turning into a fight. Such things often happen in Longdi Cave.

However, the taboo among them is that as holy places, they have completely turned to one side.

Because this means that the Holy Land will no longer act as a neutral party, but will intervene in the intricate wars of mankind, which means that the balance will be broken.

Miaomu Mountain will not be able to maintain its previous peace and will be shattered by the noise from the outside world.

From the perspective of the White Snake Immortal, it has known the Great Toad Immortal for thousands of years, and the other person is definitely not such an ignorant toad.

"I have nothing to hide."

Shiraishi's gentle and steady words were very convincing, and his eyes were not mixed with other things, and he looked at the White Snake Immortal.

Seeing Shiraishi's innocent gaze, Immortal White Snake felt troubled for a moment.

It was sensed through senjutsu, and Shiraishi didn't lie.

In other words, Myobokuyama really plans to...

"What happened in Mt. Myoboku?"

The White Snake Immortal stared at Bai Shi and asked him to continue.

Shiraishi did not hesitate and continued: "Because of the son of prophecy."

"The son of prophecy, that one is..."

When the White Snake Immortal heard this, his face was startled, and then his expression became serious, obviously thinking of something.

As a being who has known the Great Toad Immortal for thousands of years, it naturally understands what the Son of Prophecy is.

"Are you the child of prophecy?"

The White Snake Immortal reacted and stared at Bai Shi fiercely.

However, I feel that it makes no sense. If Shiraishi is the son of the prophecy, there is no reason to unite with Ryuji Cave and launch an attack on Miaomu Mountain.

"No, although I find it a bit baffling myself, Myobokuyama identifies me as the 'Son of Destruction'."

Shiraishi answered honestly.

"Son of Destruction?"

What is this stuff?

The astonishment on Immortal White Snake's face became even deeper.

It knew about the Son of Prophecy, but this was the first time it had heard of the Son of Destruction.

Could it be the latest prediction made by that old toad?

Thinking of this, Immortal White Snake immediately shouted into the void:

"Ichikishima-hime, come here!"

The sound rolled into the distance along with the void.

In less than a moment, Ichikishimahime, who had just brought Shiraishi and Liuli here, quickly flew here from the void, landed on the platform, knelt down on one knee, and saluted the White Snake Sage:

"White Snake Immortal, what are your orders?"

White Snake Sennin stared at Ichikijima Hime and said in a cold voice: "Do you know about the rumors about the Son of Destruction in Miaomu Mountain?"

It has never been interested in human affairs, and the people responsible for intelligence work in the human world are Ichikishima Hime and other elders.

After all, if Longdi Cave wants to survive, it must naturally pay attention to changes in the outside world and cannot completely eliminate contact with the outside world.

Otherwise, once it is isolated for a long time, it will be unable to cope with the changing situation in the outside world, putting Longdi Cave at a disadvantage.

Regarding the issue of White Snake Sennin, Ichikijima Hime did not dare to hide anything, and told everything she knew: "Yes, White Snake Sennin. According to outside members, this is a contemporary of Myoboku Mountain named Jiraiya Announced by the contractor of Ye. In the prophecy made by Miaomu Mountain, this son of destruction will bring unparalleled trauma to the entire world. Endless war will sweep every piece of land in the world, and the sky will be dyed red with blood. and the earth.”

"...I know, you can go down."

After hearing this, White Snake Sage's eyes flashed and he gave instructions to Ichikijima Hime.

"yes."

It seems that she couldn't bear the extremely oppressive scope here. After receiving the order from White Snake Sage, Ichikijima Hime immediately flew towards the void, not daring to stop for a moment, as if there was a savage beast behind her.

After Ichikishima-hime left, White Snake Sennin twisted his head, as if getting to know Shiraishi again, and began to look at him from head to toe.

"White Snake Immortal, you don't believe this nonsense, do you?"

Shiraishi was not angry at White Snake Immortal's impolite look at him, he just asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Immortal White Snake nodded his huge head heavily.

"Yes, I believe it! That smelly toad is not only very powerful, but its ability to predict is indeed not a deception. I'm just curious, what are you going to do in the future to sweep wars around the world? Look at this thing about you The righteous and peaceful aura contained in the Senjutsu Chakra does not look like a ninja who is obsessed with killing and fighting."

This is where White Snake Immortal is puzzled.

It didn't feel the madness that started a world war from Shiraishi's chakra. Rather, the killing thoughts in him were lighter than most other ninjas.

Could such a human being really be the son of destruction?

Could it be that that smelly toad finally lost its senility and even got its predictions wrong?

No, not possible.

White Snake Immortal rejected this idea.

In the final analysis, the prophecy of that smelly toad is a kind of magical ability, not a fraud.

Just as it believed in its own magic, that smelly toad was also extremely confident in its own magic.

This kind of confidence is something engraved in the bones.

Therefore, it is not that the prophecy is wrong, but that the human being in front of him is really planning some shocking plan to start wars all over the world.

It's just that... he thinks that his behavior of starting a war is a legitimate behavior, and he does not simply want to cause killing!

Is this an extremely cold-blooded creature, or a lunatic with mental problems...or...

The White Snake Immortal sucked hard on his pipe, blew out the smoke ring, and retracted his extended head back to the throne.

"Haha, interesting, it's so interesting. I didn't expect that such interesting things would happen while I was sleeping. Human being, I can agree to your cooperation and attack Miaomu Mountain with you... However, I never turn my eyes Bet on the weak. No matter if they pray or kneel, I will never stop to look at them..."

"White Snake Immortal, what do you mean..."

A gleam appeared in Bai Shi's eyes, and he seemed to understand the White Snake Immortal's next plan.

"Let's talk with strength, let me see the strength of your son of destruction... If you disappoint me too much, you will only become the food in my mouth, don't think about going out anymore!"

Only those with strong abilities can pass the test of Longdi Cave. This is no lie.

Power is synonymous with the holy land of Longdi Cave. For thousands of years, this place has followed the most primitive law of the weak and the strong. The weak can only survive by following the rules set by the strong.

And at the top of the food chain is the White Snake Immortal!

Its golden vertical pupils shone with dazzling scarlet blood, revealing its long-hidden ferocious fangs towards the white stone and colored glass!
