The world of Naruto in Sharingan Eyes

Chapter 222: Expansion is the destiny of the Sharingan
The country of stone.

The landforms in the ninja world are varied and each country has its own unique features, but the strange and rugged landscape of the Stone Country is something that Kabuto Yakushi and his companions have never seen before.

There were no flowers, trees, animals or insects along the way, not even a piece of soil or medicine bag was seen.

There are only stones here, countless stones of strange shapes. Even the entrance to Longdi Cave is sandwiched between two huge rocks.

"The Dragon Earth Cave is indeed extraordinary!"

Hyuga Neji sighed.

Ningci was trained in both martial arts and science under Orochimaru, and he could tell at a glance that the natural environment of the Stone Country did not conform to the climate and terrain characteristics of the normal longitude and latitude of the Ninja Realm. In other words, the strange phenomena that stretched for hundreds of miles in this country were probably caused by the influence of the Ryuchi Cave.

"Yes!"

Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses up, his eyes were deep, and Uchiha Shin beside him nodded repeatedly.

This made Sasuke in white, who was standing next to him with a cold face, seem a little out of place.

Sasuke only learned martial arts under Orochimaru and looked down on useless things like scientific research. Naturally, he didn't understand what Neji and the others were talking about.

After he 'traveled', he went straight back to Orochimaru's lair. With Orochimaru's interpretation, he realized that he had come to a parallel world. But soon, the gray-clothed Sasuke, who came to attack him but was defeated, made him give up his plan to retaliate against Orochimaru of this time and space.

"You have already killed Itachi, so you should have no regrets in your life! But I still need Orochimaru to help me return to my own time and space to kill that guy."

Silently looking at the gray-clothed Sasuke who was soaked in anesthetic, the white-clothed Sasuke put himself in his shoes and felt that the gray-clothed Sasuke must have died without regrets.

The reason they came to Ryuchi Cave this time was to deliver the gray-clothed Sasuke and a number of important experimental equipment and subjects to Orochimaru.

Hiss, hiss!
Accompanied by a hissing sound and the sound of crushing and tumbling gravel, a huge blue snake head poked out from between two huge rocks. Its erect snake eyes swept over Yao Shidou and the others, and it opened its mouth, but what came out was Shao Luoyin:
"Are you Lord Orochimaru's men?"

"That's right, it was Lord Orochimaru who asked us to wait here!" Kabuto Yakushi replied in a deep voice.

"Come up!"

The big blue snake silently lowered its head and let Pharmacist Dou and others step on its head. Then they helped to carry the experimental equipment, and then silently swam towards the depths of the Longdi Cave.

Along the way, Pharmacist Dou was secretly frightened and suspicious, and felt a little nervous.

As Orochimaru's assistant, he knew that the snake in the Ryuchi Cave was cold-blooded and could not change. Orochimaru did not have much control over high-level summoned beasts such as Mang Snake and Blue Snake. Mang Snake even required sacrifices every time it attacked. No snake had ever been so respectful to Orochimaru or even called him "Sir".

But when he followed the blue snake to the temple deep in the Ryuchi Cave and saw Orochimaru with his own eyes, Kabuto Yakushi fell into an extremely long silence.

The three human-shaped snake immortals, Tanashima-shinhime, Tsuzuhime and Ichikijima-shime, surrounded Orochimaru like ordinary girls, asking him about his well-being and greeting him with smiles.

Seeing Kabuto Yakushi and his companions coming, Orochimaru tried his best to get rid of the three snakes, and even showed a look of relief on his face.

These three snake girls have been showing their lust for him ever since he temporarily stayed in Longdi Cave.
Even though he was a little slow at first, Orochimaru was a smart man after all, so how could he not understand what the White Snake Sage meant.

But he can't really give it to them just because they ask for it or insist on it, right?

"Since you are here, follow me to visit the White Snake Immortal first!"

The disheveled Orochimaru landed in front of Kabuto Yakushi and the others. His eyes swept over the gray-clothed Sasuke in the green solution in the culture tank. He chuckled, turned around and led the four people towards the temple.

Uchiha Xin wrinkled his nose and reminded softly: "These things."

"Blue Snake, please keep watch first!"

Orochimaru ordered unceremoniously.

"Yes!"

The blue snake responded, coiled up, and carefully surrounded all the experimental equipment with its body.

If there was any benefit from the entanglement with the Three Snake Princesses, it was that Orochimaru's status in the Ryuchi Cave was greatly improved. At least before the Three Snake Princesses successfully "took the scriptures", he was second only to the White Snake Immortal.

"White Snake Immortal, I have brought my men here. They have been bothering us these days."

After bringing a few people to the temple where the White Snake Immortal was, Orochimaru gave a message inside and prepared to leave with Kabuto Yakushi and the others.

"Wait, come in and see me!"

The White Snake Immortal's slow and leisurely voice was heard from the temple.

Orochimaru paused, frowned slightly, pushed open the temple door and walked in.

He led a few people to slowly walk to the throne of the White Snake Immortal, bowed to him earnestly and said, "Immortal, do you have any instructions?"

The giant white snake coiled on the throne knocked the exquisitely crafted pipe in its mouth. Its pair of snake eyes swept over Yakushi Kabuto and the other three and stopped on Kabuto's body.

It put its pipe aside, and leaned its head towards Orochimaru and the others. After taking a closer look at Kabuto, it said:
"He has a talent for practicing immortal arts."

兜？
Orochimaru looked at the white-haired young man beside him in surprise.

Of course, Kabuto Yakushi is not bad. At the age of early twenties, his fighting power is not inferior to the famous jonin of the five major villages. However, he is not as good as those of people of the same age as me. How can he master the immortal arts that I cannot even cultivate?
As if seeing Orochimaru's confusion, the White Snake Sage returned to her old grandmother's human form and leaned on the throne, grinning with her four fangs gleaming:

"Orochimaru, what do you think is the most important thing about Sage Mode?"

Without waiting for Orochimaru to think about his answer, the White Snake Sage told him everything like a nagging old woman:
"It is the 'heart', a heart that can discard all distractions and be as pure as the moon reflecting on the glass and the clear water reflecting on the clear sky. Only with such a 'heart' can one harmonize the natural energy and chakra and enter the Sage Mode.

The Sage Mode of Myoboku Mountain requires a 'heart of innocence' like a child, with few thoughts and desires, while my Ryuchidong requires a 'heart of extinction' like a dead tree, with no thoughts at all!"

'No wonder Jiraiya only practiced half-heartedly for most of his life, considering how lustful he was.'

A hint of realization flashed across Orochimaru's face. Combining this with Kabuto's life experience, he quickly understood why the White Snake Sage said that Kabuto would be suitable for Ryuchi Cave.

"Then, Kabuto, you should stay and practice Sage Mode with the White Snake Sage!"

Orochimaru made the arrangements directly without even considering Kabuto's personal opinion.

Because he knew that when the White Snake Immortal asked to see Dou, he, who was under the protection of the White Snake Immortal, had no power to choose. Just like the three snake princesses who wanted to mate with him, he could only pretend to be submissive and did not dare to refuse directly.

"The Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave doesn't require as much trouble as Myoboku Mountain! Boy, mix the natural energy with the spiritual energy and the physical energy in a one-to-one ratio to extract the Sage Chakra!"

The White Snake Sage narrowed his eyes, then suddenly opened his mouth, and before Orochimaru could react, he bit Kabuto Yakushi's neck. His sharp fangs pierced into his body, but what he injected was not a strong poison, but the highly condensed natural energy accumulated in his body.

Under the influence of natural energy, Yakushi Kabuto fell to the ground with a wail. All kinds of abnormal reactions occurred in his body almost instantly. Serpentine patterns and scales grew all over his body, and he changed into a snake-like shape.

"If he can refine the fairy chakra before completely transforming into a snake, then he can reach the fairy mode. Otherwise, just be a snack for me!" The White Snake Fairy curled up on the throne again and said lazily:
"Okay, please step back!"

"Yes, Immortal!"

Orochimaru took a deep look at Kabuto Yakushi who was twitching on the ground, then walked out of the temple with a few people.

After Orochimaru walked away,
The White Snake Immortal exhaled a puff of smoke, which turned into white snakes and suddenly wrapped around Kabuto Yakushi. The signs of Kabuto Yakushi's transformation immediately slowed down.

"This kid's chakra is too low. If it weren't for the fact that the five-village coalition is facing a formidable enemy."

The White Snake Immortal flickered his tongue with a cold light in his eyes.

What it told Orochimaru was of course true, 'state of mind' was a necessary condition for achieving Sage Mode, which also meant that apart from the state of mind, everything else was 'non-necessary conditions'.

Over the years, there have been so many visitors to Longdi Cave, and there were a few people with this kind of mentality, but they all became food in its stomach.

The only two exceptions were Orochimaru and the Third Kazekage. Although their mental states were not up to standard, they survived the trial of immortal arts and signed their names on the summoning scroll to become the successors of Ryuchidong.

There is no other reason. One is the disciple of the Hokage and the father of the child of the prophecy of Ryuchi Cave, and the other is the Kazekage.

The White Snake Immortal just wants them to live.

Just like Mount Myōboku, not every person seeking immortality has an immortal diligently holding a stick to help them practice, otherwise how would that forest of stone statues come about?

In a secluded cave, the big snake was excitedly pondering the unconscious Sasuke in gray, licking his lips from time to time, unable to hide his obsession.

This body is so perfect!

This Sasuke in Jiraiya's Ninja Scrolls had studied with Shisui for three years before his defection. He was fifteen or sixteen years old when he defected. He then trained under Orochimaru, so he was one or two years older than the Sasuke during the Fourth War.

In addition, he accidentally killed Uchiha Itachi and opened the Mangekyō when he defected, and his strength is even stronger than Shisui and Inahime whom Orochimaru had seen before. If it weren't for the Edo Tensei Hashirama's special Wood Release to attack Red-Eye Disease, I'm afraid that Orochimaru and Neji combined would not be his match.

"But now he's mine!"

Orochimaru turned sideways and looked behind him, "Shin, inject him with drugs that destroy his mind! Neji, pay attention, if I show any signs of being hit by an illusion, wake me up in time!"

"Yes!" X2
After getting responses from the two, Orochimaru pulled open the eyelids of Sasuke in gray, and his Mangekyō Sharingan met the lifeless black eyes of Sasuke in gray, and launched an illusion.

After a few seconds, the gray-clothed Sasuke's eyeballs suddenly bulged, and his eyes turned into the shape of Mangekyō Sharingan.

Ningji slapped Orochimaru on the body and woke him up, and Uchiha Shinya injected another tube of medicine into the vein of gray-clothed Sasuke.

Even with the Mangekyō Sharingan as an illusion amplifier, Orochimaru at 'Illusion 10' still couldn't defeat the spirit of the unconscious gray-clad Sasuke in the battle of illusions.

However, Orochimaru was not discouraged. Instead, he became more and more courageous. After taking a breath, he moved forward and performed another illusion.

The second time, failed.

The third time, failed.

After twenty or thirty times, finally once again, Orochimaru did not rely on Neji to break free from the illusion, but took the initiative to break the illusion.

“It’s almost done.”

Orochimaru licked his lips, but did not rush to activate the Reincarnation Technique. Instead, he used illusion to search and destroy the spiritual world of Gray-clothed Sasuke several times until he was sure that he had lost the ability to resist.

Then, he inserted his fingers into his eye sockets and gouged them out, then threw his eyeballs back without a care in the world. "I'll give you the letter!"

Uchiha Shin, who had not expected this, caught his Mangekyō Sharingan as if it were a treasure, and without caring about the blood and snake saliva on it, he performed the eye replacement surgery on himself without stopping for a moment.

At the same time, Orochimaru had already performed the technique of reincarnation, and as if he was shedding his skin, he spit out a white-scaled snake containing his soul and all his chakra from his mouth, and the snake swam into the curse seal on the neck of the gray-clothed Sasuke.

Sasuke in gray was shaking and twitching as if he was having an epileptic seizure.

Uchiha Shin and Hyuga Neji, like two gate gods, stood still and waited quietly for Orochimaru to complete his reincarnation.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind them.

".pocket?"

Hyuga Neji turned around with a frown on his brows. It took him a few seconds to recognize that this was Kabuto Yakushi, whom he had just parted with less than two hours ago.

The image of Yakushi Kabuto has changed drastically at this moment.

Two pairs of white horns, one large and one small, like snake fangs grew on his forehead. His eye sockets had purple eye shadow similar to Orochimaru's. His pupils also became vertical pupils similar to those of snakes, and his face and arms were covered with snake patterns and scales.

The young man who was originally considered quiet and handsome has now completely turned into a freak who is uglier than Uchiha Shin.

"Don't be surprised, it's just that my Sage Mode is not perfect enough!"

Kabuto Yakushi was not angry at all because of the strange looks from Neji and the others. Instead, he had a faint smile on his face. Only he himself knew how much his strength had been "sublimated".

'The only pity is that I was not able to achieve the perfect Sage Mode that the White Snake Sage said, with only facial patterns, a single horn, and the ability to transform into a Sage Chakra Snake.'

Orochimaru sighed in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked in the direction of the experimental table and said: "Congratulations, Lord Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru propped himself up from the experimental table, clenched his fists and then unclenched them several times. Feeling the abundant vitality of this young body and the powerful pupil power contained in the eyes, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up more and more.

What kind of bullying has he suffered over the years?
Uchiha Gen abused Uchiha Hikari, who abused Shisui, who abused Inahibari, and Shisui abused Uchiha Hikari. He, a dignified Sannin, is almost becoming an experience baby of Uchiha. Will he be abused by Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke in the future?
But now, the nightmare is over!
"Hiss. Hoo hoo."

Orochimaru covered his face with one hand, his eyes showing madness, and suddenly raised his head.

"Ahahahahahahaha!"

A burst of wild laughter with ups and downs echoed for a long time in the depths of Longdi Cave.

After laughing so wildly that his face was distorted, Orochimaru stood up with his hands covering his face. His sharp red eyes swept over Kabuto, Shin, and Neji, and then he couldn't help laughing again.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"

He took over the body of Gray-clothed Sasuke, had the Samsara Eye in his hand, and had the Ryuchi Cave as his support, and Orochi Kabuto, Neji and others as his arms.

What about the Five Villages Alliance? What about Uchiha Minamoto?
I, Orochimaru, will step by step, reach the top and become the second Six Paths Sage in this world!
