Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

"The natural energy here is indeed more astonishing."

Uchiha Shisui sensed it.

Hoshino Hideichi looked at the entrance in front of him and smiled, "Perhaps the environment shaped them, or perhaps they shaped this environment."

"It's more likely to be the former."

"The three holy lands are all similar treasure troves, suitable for cultivating immortal techniques."

"My sacred land still needs the help of the divine tree to transform the power of the sun into natural energy before it can gradually become such a treasure land."

Uchiha Shisui was full of confidence: "The Immortal Emperor's Holy Land will surpass the Three Great Holy Lands sooner or later."

"No, it shouldn't take long."

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "Let's go, the White Snake Sage has come to greet us."

The two stepped into Ryuchi Cave, and after a short while, the light ahead brightened, and four figures came into view.

A kind-looking old woman, followed by three beautiful snake maidens.

Uchiha Shisui had previously heard Hoshinoichi mention the special features of the three holy lands, and his eyes immediately transformed into the Rinne Sharingan.

"It really was an illusion..."

With the Rinne Sharingan activated, Uchiha Shisui immediately saw through the disguises of the White Snake Sage and his companions.

The White Snake Sage's gaze also fell on Uchiha Shisui, who had activated his Rinne Sharingan, and a smile appeared on his face: "Welcome, distinguished guests."

"What incredible power!"

"However, shouldn't we be more cautious since our two distinguished guests have come to Ryuchi-dong?"

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Shisui was just being respectful of the power of the immortals."

"The three holy lands each have a history that is longer than that of ninjas, and they deserve the respect and seriousness of any ninja."

He appears kind and gentle, but cannot hide the coldness of his chakra.

Of the three sacred sites, Ryuchi Cave is definitely the most dangerous.

These snake immortals are no pushovers.

Of course, Hoshino Shuichi knew even better that he was no pushover either.

"Standing at the door is not the proper way to treat guests. Please come in."

The White Snake Immortal led Hoshino and Hideaki into the temple inside Ryuchi Cave. The White Snake Immortal sat cross-legged on his throne, revealing his enormous true form.

The other three snake princesses were coiled on the left and right sides respectively.

Hoshino Hideaki sat cross-legged in mid-air, while Uchiha Shisui stood behind him.

The White Snake Immortal said, "I already have a general idea of ​​why you two have come."

"Ryuchi Cave can be integrated into the Ninja League, but Ryuchi Cave also has its own rules."

"Our contractors must be selected by us."

"Furthermore, unlike the toads of Mount Myōboku, the Sage Techniques of our Ryūchi Cave are much more difficult to cultivate. I think Orochimaru has already mentioned that, hasn't he?"

Hoshino Hideichi nodded in agreement: "We naturally respect Ryuchi Cave as well. The cultivation of immortal arts depends on the individual."

"However, even if the contractors fail the test, I hope they can leave Ryuchi Cave smoothly."

"I don't think Ryuchi Cave needs a few ninjas to maintain its authority."

The White Snake Immortal laughed and said, "To gain great power, you always have to pay a price."

Shuichi Hoshino remained unmoved: "They will give their lives to protect this world in the future."

"This is also their most precious thing."

"And you are also a part of this world."

"If they need to give something to gain power, then you who are protected by them also need to give something to gain the right to live."

A righteous hat was directly bestowed upon him.

The three snake queens were all unconvinced.

However, they all knew how terrifying the person in front of them was, so they didn't say anything.

The White Snake Sage naturally disliked the aggressive Hoshino Shuichi.

As Hoshinoichi said before, the three holy lands have existed for longer than the history of ninjas, and the changes in the ninja world are actually just fleeting moments.

The world of ninjas does not represent the world of Ryuchi Cave.

Of course, the White Snake Immortal was not unaware of the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

That's why we can sit down and talk today.

However, although the White Snake Sage did not know how Hoshino-shita Shuichi discussed things with Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest.

But He absolutely does not want to be ordered around by humans in the future.

Even without the ninjas, Earth is still Earth, and it will be the same whether the Otsutsuki come or not.

Standing behind Shuichi under the stars, Uchiha Shisui keenly sensed a slight change in the natural energy around them: "Just as Shuichi predicted, it's not so easy to persuade him with words."

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi keenly sensed the White Snake Sage's inner thoughts. Although the vast natural energy or sage power affected his Electromagnetic Release Bloodline Limit, it was enough for him to judge the White Snake Sage's attitude.

That being the case.

Hoshita Hideichi smiled slightly, and Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind him one by one: "If Ryuchi Cave has the strength to withstand the Otsutsuki clan on its own, it can naturally transcend worldly affairs and observe the rotation of the sun and moon and the changing of the winds and clouds."

The White Snake Sage looked at Hoshino no Shuichi without saying a word, and then took action.

In an instant, the stone walls and earth inside the cave came to life, forming countless sharp spikes that pierced through Hoshino Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui, as if to turn them into a beehive.

Uchiha Shisui, who was prepared, vanished instantly, but instead used the Rinne Sharingan's eye technique, the Great Acupoint Mouchi, to enter the Netherworld.

At that moment, Hoshino Shuichi rose to his feet: Ice Age!

Click!

Click!

The sharp stone pillars were quickly covered and frozen by ice, to the point that they could no longer grow.

Meanwhile, Princess Tashin, Princess Ichikishima, and Princess Tsuruzu were already moving at high speed through the forest of stone pillars from the left, right, and overhead, attacking Hoshino-shita Shuichi while unleashing their respective Sage Arts.

Tianxin Shenji opened her serpent mouth, spewing out celestial power like a dragon holding a pearl. Immediately afterward, blinding lasers erupted, and a terrifying buzzing sound swept through, blocking sight and hearing.

Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsuratsu launched a surprise attack from the left and right respectively.

However, before they could get close to Hoshinoshita Hideichi, the Fire Pestle Venerable, burning with green flames, appeared and swiftly smashed down on them, ignoring the interference of the Heavenly Princess's Sage Art.

Boom boom boom!

With green flames flying and smoke billowing, Princess Tashin, Princess Ichikishima, and Princess Tsurugi were knocked unconscious by Uchiha Shisui's attack.

Meanwhile, Hoshinoichi's Ice Age had already spread to the White Snake Sage.

As for the fairy arts of the Heavenly Princess, they had no effect on Hoshino Shuichi.

The White Snake Immortal, who was smoking a pipe, suddenly spat out a beam of immortal light, causing the entire Dragon Land Cave to tremble violently, the ice to shatter, and the spreading cold air to be dispersed.

The entire Ryūchi-dong seemed to come alive again.

The Truth-Seeking Ball behind Hoshino suddenly activated, crackling with electricity and moving at high speed, instantly shattering the sharp stone pillars that had pierced through it.

At the same time, the previously unconscious Princess Tashin, Princess Ichikishima, and Princess Tsuratsu suddenly moved and pounced on the White Snake Sage.

However, it was Uchiha Shisui, who was hiding in the underworld, who controlled them with Kotoamatsukami.

However, many more white phosphorus serpents came from different directions, sweeping towards Xingxia Xiu through the activated stone pillars.

However, no matter how many white phosphorus serpents there were, or how many activated stone pillars there were, they could not penetrate the barrier formed by the Truth-Seeking Jewel.

This utilizes electromagnetic escape for acceleration, possessing terrifying power and complete kinetic energy lethality.

"What an amazing illusion..."

The White Snake Immortal sighed inwardly. Tianxin Shenji and the others were all skilled in illusions, but he never expected them to be so easily controlled by illusions.

The activated stone pillar immediately changed, controlling the three giant snakes, including the Heavenly Goddess. Then, the White Snake Immortal flicked his tail, and with a loud bang, the Fire Jade Pestle Venerable that had suddenly appeared exploded.

"No wonder he's one of the three great immortals!"

Uchiha Shisui was surprised.

He immediately unleashed Susanoo in the underworld, wielding the Fire Pestle and the Spiral Spear to attack the White Snake Sage.

Giant white phosphorus snakes appeared, waving their bodies to contend with the Fire Jade Pestle and the Spiral Spear, creating continuous booming sounds that shook the entire Dragon Land Cave.

Meanwhile, the White Snake Immortal remained on his throne.

Hoshino Shuichi was only using Truth-Seeking Balls for defense at this time. Seeing that Uchiha Shisui was unable to do anything to the White Snake Sage, he activated the golden nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan and the blood-red nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan between his eyebrows.

Then, he raised his hand.

Yagogami air attack!

A dense barrage of chakra fists erupted, and at the same time, a space-time gate appeared. These chakra fists suddenly appeared before the White Snake Sage and slammed down.

call out!

The White Snake Immortal moved for the first time. It was enormous in size, but incredibly fast, narrowly missing the Eighty Gods' Void Strike.

Hoshinoichi raised an eyebrow slightly as Kotoamatsukami suddenly activated, causing the White Snake Sage's swimming body to suddenly stop. Immediately afterward, beams of light bombarded the White Snake Sage's massive body.

As the light faded, the White Snake Immortal was found coiled on a massive stone pillar. The area struck by the beam of light was completely black, without even a scratch on its scales.

"What an amazing defense! No wonder he's the White Serpent Sage!"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and praised.

The White Snake Sage looked solemnly at Hoshino Shizuka: "Your power indeed far surpasses that of the Sage of Six Paths, and even surpasses that of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Now I'm going to use my real power."

As soon as he finished speaking, the White Snake Immortal realized that his surroundings had changed, and he was now in a snowy wonderland.

Heaven's Royal Center!

"Even I didn't sense it beforehand..."

The White Snake Immortal looked around when suddenly the iceberg moved. As if it were his power, the iceberg came to life and launched an attack on him.

The White Snake Immortal immediately activated his magic to conceal his body.

However, the invisibility sage technique, which could not be detected by such sensory ninjutsu, became ineffective, and the ice pillars and ice dragons continued to attack.

At this moment, the home and away games have changed.

The White Snake Immortal immediately swam rapidly, his massive body swaying as he shattered ice pillars and ice dragons.

At that moment, a figure of Hoshino Shuichi appeared in the sky; it was a clone.

In the palm of his hands, an eye was clearly visible.

But they were the eyes of Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Boom boom boom!

One by one, black cubes fell from the sky, smashing into the white snake immortal who was swimming at high speed and pinning him down.

Then, giant ice pillars suddenly appeared on His body, piercing His acupoints.

This is the Byakugan's insightful ability, combined with Isshiki Otsutsuki's eye technique that amplifies matter, plus Kaguya's Rabbit Hair Needle, a bloodline limit.

However, Hoshino Shuichi did not use his hair to perform the attack; instead, he used ice needles.

The series of powerful attacks finally restrained the White Snake Sage.

As the sound of chains rattling rang out, chains roared out from Hoshino Shizuka's body, piercing through the White Snake Sage's body.

"Um?"

Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow.

empty!

It's molted!

The shrunken white snake immortal swam away at great speed.

Suddenly, the White Snake Immortal found that the environment had changed again, and he had appeared in a desert.

Immediately afterwards, a towering figure came into view.

Golden Susanoo!

Immediately afterwards, Susanoo transformed into the Thousand-Armed Deva God, whose body was covered with golden lightning.

The next moment, countless spiral shuriken appeared on the arms.

Wind Release: Rasengan, Ice Release: Rasengan, Scorch Release: Rasengan, Flame Release: Rasengan, Lava Release...

This power caused even the White Snake Immortal's expression to change drastically. His shrunken body immediately expanded, and his snake tail forked into countless giant snake heads, which soared into the sky to meet the countless spiraling shuriken that crashed down.

Boom boom boom!

The roar continued, bursts of multicolored light erupted, and billowing smoke and dust filled the air.

Moments later, in the giant sand pit, the enormous white snake immortal was covered in wounds, with countless snake scales falling off.

Above the God of the Heavenly Stars, under the Star God, stood Xiuyi with his hands behind his back, looking down at the injured White Snake Sage.

……

The Land of Fire, Daimyo Prefecture, Experimental Base.

Just as Haku and his group arrived at the entrance of the experimental base, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground: "Haku, you've come at just the right time! A group of ninjas is heading this way, and they don't seem to be here with good intentions!"

Shuiyue laughed and said, "That's perfect, let's take care of these guys right outside!"

Bai hurriedly asked, "Bai Jue, how is Mother?"

White Zetsu chuckled, "There's a teleportation array here at the experimental base. Sarutobi Asuma sent over some information, so Lord Minazuki has already gone to Konoha via the teleportation array!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and said, "That would be even better."

"Haku, Kimimaro, Kurotsuchi, Suigetsu, prepare for battle!"

"You guys make the first move. I won't make a move unless it's absolutely necessary."

"White Zetsu, please provide information on the enemy's movements."

Bai Jue chuckled and said, "Absolutely no problem."

After saying that, White Zetsu sank into the ground and disappeared.

Before long, based on the intelligence provided by Bai Jue, the four of them chose a forest that the enemy was bound to pass through as their ambush site.

After a while.

A dozen or so masked ninjas entered the ambush site.

Bai, who was hiding behind the big tree, immediately raised one hand.

The next moment, a cold mist rapidly filled the forest.

"Watch out, there's an ambush! They've used the Mist Concealment Technique!"

"No, the temperature is dropping. It's ice magic. It seems our actions have been detected!"

The rogue ninja quickly went on high alert.

In the thick fog, Heitu pressed his hands to the ground.

The next moment, sharp stone pillars rose from the ground and spread rapidly.

Ahh!

Boom!

Screams and roars rose and fell.

One by one, the rogue ninjas leaped to dodge, but some were caught off guard and had their bodies pierced by the stone pillars.

Others avoided the stone pillars, but were pierced by the bones and fell from mid-air.

Ten fingers pierced by a bullet!

Whoosh!

Someone landed in a puddle, and the water surged up, entangling the rogue ninja. Shuiyue wrapped one arm around the rogue ninja's neck and made a gun gesture with the other.

puff!

Water bullets sprayed from his fingertips, piercing the head of the rogue ninja.

Suigetsu, Kurotsuchi, and Kimimaro engaged in close combat, completely holding off the remaining seven or eight opponents.

Bai remained hidden in the shadows, and after estimating that the time was about right, he suddenly raised one hand.

In an instant, the rogue ninjas who were fighting against Kimimaro and his group suddenly froze, their bodies quickly freezing over, and they were easily dealt with by Kurotsuchi and the other two.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi, who had been secretly observing the battle, couldn't help but sigh, "This is definitely an elite Jonin team!" (End of Chapter)
