Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 375 Ryuchi Cave Daily Life: Waver Takes a Finger with the Two Yugito?

It was as if they sensed the change on Orochimaru's side.

Weber burst in carrying a kitchen knife and wearing an apron.

He looked every bit the master chef.

"What happened?" Weber shouted in a loud voice.

After rushing in, he found that everyone was alright. Then he noticed the change in Uchiha Sasuke and his eyes lit up. He said, "Not bad, you mastered Sage Mode so quickly. How many days has it been? It took me almost a month."

For some reason, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to rely on Waver quite a bit, and smiled shyly, saying, "Thanks to your guidance, Waver-senpai, I was able to master the power of Sage Mode so quickly."

Waver walked up to Uchiha Sasuke, carrying a kitchen knife, and patted him hard on the shoulder, saying, "Don't be so modest. The most important thing is your own hard work. Hahaha, well done."

His easygoing demeanor and friendly tone inexplicably gave Uchiha Sasuke a long-lost feeling of older brotherly care. He couldn't help but ask, "Wave-senpai, do you have time this afternoon? I'd like to practice the Six Powers with you!"

"Oh, you're very enthusiastic! That's great, of course I have time!" Weber agreed without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the two wooden figures not far away.

As if sensing something, the two Yugitos looked towards Waver, who then gave a somewhat embarrassed smile and said, "I made your favorite grilled fish for lunch."

The two Yugitos' lips twitched involuntarily twice as they said, "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Waver raised his hand to rub his nose, trying to hide his slight embarrassment, and then said, "Well, you haven't been active these past few days. How about I remove the seal on you this afternoon so you can get some exercise?"

"There's really no need for that," the two Yugito said with a helpless expression. "I think things are fine as they are."

"No!" Weber said reluctantly, "Just for a little while!"

Not far away, Nami glanced at the situation, shook her head with a helpless look, and said, "To be honest, at first I thought he had a crush on Yugito."

Orochimaru chuckled upon hearing this and said, "I thought so too. After all, his behavior is exactly the same as that of my old friend."

"Jiraiya?" Nami asked curiously.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up with a hint of reminiscence. Back then, he was just a boy, Jiraiya was still young, and Tsunade was in the prime of her life. Thinking about it now, he really felt a little nostalgic.

Unfortunately, Jiraiya genuinely liked Tsunade back then.

Waver also liked her, but he liked Matatabi Futani instead of Yugito Nii.

Ever since he saw the handsome appearance of the Two-Tailed Matatabi in the Land of Lightning, Waver seems to have become deeply infatuated with that big cat. During this time, he has been inviting the two Yugitos to go out and have some fun together from time to time.

During this time, Waver will help her remove the sealing spells on her body, allowing the two Yugito to fully unleash their power.

Then he would beat up the Two-Tails and give it a good beating.

At first, Yugito Nii was happy to go out and have some fun, and even thought about finding a chance to escape. However, after being beaten up by Waver several times in a row, Yugito Nii now has no desire to go out and have fun at all.

Every time I go out for a walk, I come back covered in bruises; it's awful.

You can't run away, and you can't win a fight. Especially that damn guy, I don't know what's wrong with him, he gets stronger after being beaten up, he's the type that gets stronger the more you fight him, what's the point of playing? Unless you have the strength to crush him, once you get into a protracted battle, you will definitely lose.

But to be fair, Kumogakure has always been proud of its strong and has a strong aesthetic for martial arts-oriented men. In this respect, Waver is quite to the liking of the two Yugitos.

When Weber first invited her, she thought he was interested in her.

I was secretly quite pleased with myself back then, but I can't even describe it now.

After being rejected by the two Yugito, Weber quickly returned to his cooking, disheartened.

Sasuke Uchiha was practicing how long he could maintain Sage Mode, while Nami guided him on how to quickly master the changes in his power.

With nothing else to do, the two Yugitos, after sweeping the floor, casually took down the ninjutsu scroll hanging on the wall and began to study it without any hesitation.

This is something she recently discovered: Orochimaru, Nami, and the rest of Ryuchi Cave all seem to have an open and sharing attitude towards ninjutsu, sealing techniques, and other knowledge.

There was absolutely no defense; even though she was a prisoner and a cleaner, she could freely access these precious ninjutsu scrolls.

You should know that what she's holding isn't some common ninjutsu like Shadow Clone Jutsu or the kind of Fireball Jutsu that no one can actually burn.

Just like what she's looking at right now is the famous B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu, Great Dragon Fire Technique.

This technique was one of the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, one of the most powerful clans in the ninja world. It was extremely powerful and had almost never been circulated outside the ninja world. It was brought by Uchiha Sasuke.

If she were in the Hidden Cloud Village, she would never have been able to see this technique, but now she can consult it at will.

Although she is a ninja from Kumogakure, Yugito Nii is also skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu. However, as the Jinchūriki of Matatabi, the Two-Tails, she is also very talented in Fire Release ninjutsu. However, Kumogakure did not have many Fire Release ninjutsu techniques, so apart from borrowing Matatabi's flames, she did not use Fire Release much on a daily basis.

Now it's much better; we can study freely.

Not only these conventional ninjutsu, although they weren't as common as forbidden techniques, she also witnessed and observed Konoha's secret techniques in Ryuchi Cave, such as the Nara clan's shadow techniques and the spirit transformation techniques. She had studied all of these.

Of course, Yugito Nii knew very well that the more she saw, the more open-ended this knowledge became, and the more likely it was that she would never be able to regain her freedom and leave Ryuchi Cave.

But how can a ninja resist having these precious items laid out there for anyone to take?

You still have to watch it.

"Damn it, why am I feeling a strange sense of satisfaction? I'm supposed to be a prisoner!" The two Yugito thought to themselves, their minds filled with mixed feelings, as they read the scroll in their hands.

Orochimaru glanced at Yugito Nii, who was studying ninjutsu there, then smiled and said, "If you keep watching like this, will you be able to leave this place later?"

"It's not like I actually have a chance to leave," the two Yugitos said with a sneer.

After a slight pause, she said with some sadness, "You are indeed different from ordinary ninja organizations. The treatment you have received these past few days has completely exceeded my expectations. But without a doubt, you will eventually take Matatabi from my body. As a Jinchuriki, I will probably die at that time. So, can this be considered your mercy towards a dying person like me?"

"You're overthinking it," Orochimaru replied calmly, then added, "The idea that having a tailed beast extracted from your body guarantees death is probably not true in Ryuchi Cave at all."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Upon hearing this, the two Yukito's expressions changed slightly, but after a moment, she still said, "Then it's unlikely that you'll let me leave, is it?"

"A frog in a well." Orochimaru scoffed, "People like you are still fixated on things like ninjas and villages, and you always think about others from that perspective, trying to figure out their actions and logic. But unfortunately, the Spirit Lord has never looked at people like you, nor has he ever considered what you are thinking about."

Orochimaru genuinely believed that even if Yugito and her companion truly mastered all the knowledge from Ryuchi Cave, as long as she didn't do anything to anger the Spirit Lord within Ryuchi Cave and maintained her current state, the Spirit Lord probably wouldn't stop her from leaving in the future if she truly wanted to.

As for why, Orochimaru pondered for a moment.

The answer was already in my mind.

The composure and ease of the strong.

The conflicts between great powers, the grudges of the ninja world, whether it be families or villages, the Spirit Lord never seemed to have considered these things. His goal was never concealed from the beginning: the Pure Land, souls, knowledge of the ninja world, and the tailed beasts.

However, apart from the tailed beasts, the Spirit Lord seems quite willing to open them up for others to observe and learn from.

At the same time, as long as you don't oppose him on these matters, the Spirit Lord won't bother with anything else.

Meanwhile, outside the cave entrance at the deepest part of Ryongchi-dong.

Ain sat quietly outside the cave like a silent guardian, cultivating the power of immortal arts while protecting Bane's seclusion.

As if hearing some noise, Ain, who was sitting cross-legged outside the cave, suddenly opened her eyes. Then, she saw Weber walking over with a plate containing a sumptuous lunch.

"Still no movement?" Weber asked.

It has been almost three months since Bane went into seclusion. He has not eaten or drunk anything and there has been no news of him. If it weren't for the dark elemental energy outside the cave that sealed the entrance like a waterfall, Weber would really doubt whether Bane was still inside. Could he have starved to death?

"No," Ain shook her head and took the plate.

Looking at the sumptuous lunch, Ain smiled and said, "Your cooking skills are really getting better and better."

"It's all because you guys forced me to this. I, a mighty warrior of the Shandians, have to cook for you guys here," Webber said, pursing his lips.

Ignoring her question and without any hesitation, Ain started eating on the spot, asking as she ate, "How's it going? Any progress on your relationship with Yukito?"

"What's the relationship?" Weber said, slightly embarrassed. "Can you guys stop misunderstanding this? I just simply enjoy traveling."

"Love me, love my dog. Don't you really have any feelings for her at all?" Ain asked while eating.

"If I had to describe my feelings..." Weber hesitated for a moment, scratching his chin as he pondered, then said, "It's not that I don't feel anything. After all, she's quite pretty, her personality is my type, and her strength... well, from a ninja's perspective, isn't it pretty good?"

"Then why don't you try harder?" a voice said.

Weber instinctively replied, "We'll see. I'm not in a rush, am I?"

Not only was Waver surprised, but Ian also immediately turned to look at the cave behind him. He saw the dark elements, like a waterfall, slowly parting in the middle, and then Bane, wearing a dark blue haori, walked out of it with a smile on his face.

"I never imagined that after I went into seclusion for a while, even a tough guy like Webber would be falling in love? Have I been in seclusion for years?" Bane laughed and teased.
