Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"Mental synchronization! Start downloading!"

"Buzz—!!!"

As the projection of the Sage of Six Paths' will surged into the body through the passage, the body, a perfect blend of machinery and flesh, suddenly opened its eyes!

"Click... hiss—!"

With the steady sound of the miniature power furnace running, Yu Yi controlled the body and smoothly sat up from the experimental table.

This time, he did not use his own soul's chakra, but rather the test subject's own chakra, and formed several basic hand seals.

He breathed a sigh of relief after waiting a moment and seeing that the interstitial cells on his body surface showed no signs of going out of control.

"Very stable...very good."

Through her mechanical vocal cords, Yu Yi uttered a satisfied exclamation.

"very good."

Yue snapped her fingers, a smile playing on her lips.

"Now that the hardware has been debugged, Senior Yu Yi, it's time for us to go see our old friends."

"Orochimaru, lead the way. To your old employer—Ryuchi Cave."

……

Two hours later.

At the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth lies an unknown swamp shrouded in poisonous miasma and fog year-round.

This is the entrance to Ryuchi Cave, one of the three sacred sites alongside Mount Myoboku.

It was cold and damp, with a nauseatingly sweet and pungent smell in the air, and countless brightly colored venomous snakes lurked in and out of sight among the dead trees and swamps.

"Hiss..."

When Uchiha Tsuki, the Sage of Six Paths in his mechanical body, and Orochimaru stepped into this territory, the surrounding venomous snakes hissed warningly, but when they sensed Orochimaru's familiar cold-blooded aura, they retreated back into the mud in fear.

"Moon Lord, the rules of Dragon Cave have always been cruel, and the White Serpent Immortal is capricious and unpredictable. To see it, one must originally pass through numerous deadly trials..."

Orochimaru walked at the front, his golden vertical pupils revealing a hint of coldness.

Orochimaru was clearly holding a grudge against this place that had once rejected him, believing that his body could not withstand the power of Sage Mode.

"Trials?"

Uchiha Yue did not stop.

However, countless lines began to appear on his face.

Sage Mode activated!

"Om-!"

An invisible gravitational field instantly spread out!

Within hundreds of meters ahead, the boulders, poisonous miasma, and even the giant pythons hidden in the swamp that blocked the way were instantly forced into the ground by this unreasonable force!

A straight, flat road was forcibly carved out beneath their feet!

"Just walk there."

Chapter 184 The White Snake Immortal's Plea

Orochimaru licked his lips and followed beside Yue.

The mechanical body controlled by the will of the Sage of Six Paths followed closely behind, taking mechanical steps.

However, as one of the three sacred sites alongside Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave's defense mechanisms obviously wouldn't be completely paralyzed by a single road.

Just as the three of them ventured several miles deeper into the swamp, the cold and damp environment around them suddenly changed.

The gloomy, poisonous miasma gradually dissipated, and in its place stood a magnificent, golden palace.

The palace was filled with the sounds of string and wind instruments, and the air was filled with the enticing aroma of delicious food.

"Oh my, what a rare guest!"

Accompanied by a burst of silvery laughter, three graceful figures floated lightly out of the palace.

The goddess Tianxin, walking at the very front, held a jade platter filled with delicacies from land and sea, and smiled charmingly.

On the left, Princess Ichikishima holds a sake bottle, her eyes alluring, her figure swaying gracefully;

On the right, Princess Tsurugi covered her mouth and chuckled, but her vertical pupils gleamed with undisguised hunger.

These are the three high-ranking snake sages of Ryuchi Cave responsible for selecting "qualified candidates." In the original story and according to past rules, anyone who wants to see the White Snake Sage must survive the illusions, labyrinths, and devouring trials of these three snake princesses.

"Guests who have come from afar must be hungry, right? This is a welcome feast specially prepared by our Ryuchi Cave..." Princess Tianxin held a jade plate and walked gracefully to Uchiha Yue, the enticing aroma wafting into people's noses.

Faced with this mind-numbing illusion of divine magic, Uchiha Tsuki didn't even pause for half a second.

"This mud and poisonous insects are rather disgusting. Where is the White Snake Immortal?"

Yue glanced at the "stunning beauty" before her and said coldly.

"You...!" The smile on Tianxin Shenji's face froze instantly. This guy actually saw through her illusion in an instant?

"Since you won't accept the toast..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Yue didn't even bother to look at them, and suddenly pressed his right hand down.

"Heavenly Lord!"

Boom!!!

The unreasonable absolute gravity slammed into the three snake princesses!

The three beauties instantly transformed into their true forms, enormous half-human, half-snake bodies. They had no chance to resist and were directly slammed into the muddy swamp by this repulsive force!

Sold out instantly!

An absolute and overwhelming crushing defeat!

"You have three seconds to transform back into human form and lead the way to see the White Snake Immortal. If you want to die, you can continue to lie there."

Where was the last trace of the allure from before when the three high-ranking snake queens were?

Terrified, they withdrew their chakra and trembled as they climbed out of the mud pit.

"Sir...this way please..."

Covered in blood, Tianxin Shenji trembled and lowered her head, limping as she led the way.

Orochimaru, who was following behind, licked his lips and looked at the three snake princesses who had once caused him so much trouble, now looking like stray dogs. His golden vertical pupils were full of mockery.

"Yuejun's methods are as simple and efficient as ever."

Led by three trembling snake princesses, the three passed through one gloomy hall after another without any hindrance.

Finally, inside a huge palace deep within Ryuchi Cave.

A massive white serpent, its body so large it coiled around the entire colossal stone pillar, flicked its enormous tongue, looking down down at the three uninvited guests.

White Snake Immortal.

Its serpentine eyes first fell upon Orochimaru, emitting a piercing hissing laugh:

"Hiss hiss hiss... Orochimaru, you actually dare to come back here?"

The White Snake Immortal raised her head high: "Not only did you bring two ill-mannered humans, but you also injured my girls so badly... Do you want to become my food?"

Faced with the White Snake Sage's oppressive aura, Orochimaru merely sneered and retreated to Uchiha Tsuki's side, adopting a spectator's stance.

"It doesn't matter what prey Orochimaru brings."

Uchiha Yue stepped forward, looking directly at the coiled giant snake: "The important thing is, what can you get from us?"

"There aren't many people in this ninja world who can negotiate terms with you. I think you might not be qualified yet, Uchiha Tsuki."

The White Snake Sage clearly knew about Uchiha Yue, but he didn't know much about his strength.

With a sudden, powerful flick of its massive snake tail, it lashed out at Uchiha Tsuki!

If this strike lands, even a small mountain will be pulverized!

however.

"boom!!!"

A muffled, loud bang exploded inside the palace!

An arm caught the enormous snake tail, powerful enough to shatter mountains, steadily in mid-air!

The Sage of Six Paths (in his original form), dressed in a black robe, slowly raised his head. A flash of purple light appeared in his emotionless eyes.

"White Snake, it's been over a thousand years, and you're still as irritable as ever."

As this synthesized voice rang out, a chakra fluctuation unique to the Sage of Six Paths was released at that moment!

"This...this chakra?"

The White Snake Immortal, who was arrogant just a second ago, suddenly had his huge snake eyes shrink the moment he sensed this aura!

It jerked its tail back sharply, and its massive body involuntarily shrank backward.

"Otsutsuki... Hagoromo?"

For the first time, the White Snake Immortal's shrill voice carried an unexpected tone.

"You...you weren't supposed to have died a thousand years ago? How could you possibly be in this world, and have this body..."

Seeing the White Snake Sage's change in attitude, Uchiha Yue dusted off his trench coat with satisfaction.

"So, am I qualified now, White Snake Sage?"

The White Snake Sage's snake eyes narrowed sharply as he looked at the moon, then at the Sage of Six Paths, seemingly having some idea of ​​how the current situation in the ninja world had developed: "The Sage of Six Paths' lackeys..."

Before it could even utter the word "insect," an overwhelming force erupted from its mechanical body without warning, completely suppressing the White Snake Immortal.

Under the incredulous gaze of the White Snake Sage, the progenitor of the ninja world actually lowered his head slightly, revealing an apologetic expression to Uchiha Tsuki:

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, young friend Yue."

"It's alright. It's normal to be ignorant if you haven't seen the outside world."
