Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Eh? Over there... isn't that where Xinya lives?

That's quite a troublesome guy.

Volume 110: Chapter Xin Ya

The blue snake swam quickly, deeper and deeper into the snake's lair, and said to Orochimaru above it: "Lord Orochimaru, the place we are going to next is very dangerous, you must be mentally prepared."

"Can you talk?"

Orochimaru looked at the blue snake in surprise. She thought this big snake couldn't speak.

"I can always speak, but you mistakenly thought I couldn't."

"I see. I need to get ready. You can continue on."

Orochimaru sat cross-legged on the head of the blue snake, closed his eyes and meditated. Meditation can help him refine the fairy chakra faster.

Blue Snake said that the place they were going to would be very dangerous, so she had to make sufficient preparations. It would be embarrassing if her fairy chakra ran out at the critical moment.

The blue snake looked ahead at the territory of Xinya and said to Orochimaru, who was sitting cross-legged on its head in meditation: "Lord Orochimaru, this is Xinya's territory."

"Xinya? Is it powerful?"

Orochimaru asked with interest. She saw many giant snakes she had never seen before in the giant snake's nest, far more than the giant snakes that appeared in the original work, especially the dark blue giant snake under her butt. She didn't know why it had such a bad fate with snakes. The giant snakes that bullied it were enough to line up from the gate of Konoha to the bottom of the Hokage Rock.

Of course, this refers to the size of their coiled bodies, not their body length.

"Xinya is the only snake in the Serpent's lair that possesses petrifying venom. Its petrifying venom can petrify even large snakes. The Ten Thousand Snakes you fought against before have battled Xinya many times before, and even retreated in the face of Xinya's petrifying venom. Without the use of petrifying venom, Xinya's combat capability is weaker than that of the Ten Thousand Snakes."

Blue Snake revealed what he knew about Xinfang and its most powerful ability, petrifying venom, which could turn opponents into statues.

If Xinya had lost the ability to petrify venom, he would have been beaten up countless times by thousands of snakes.

"Petrifying venom, that's quite a powerful ability."

Orochimaru was very interested in the Shinga in the blue snake's mouth. Judging from the name, it should be a big red snake, and a big snake with a relatively bad temper.

"I should have warned you not to come near my territory!"

The blue snake swam into Xinya's territory, and angry roars came from a distance. Xinya had long noticed the abnormality of the giant snake's nest, and naturally noticed the combination of Orochimaru and the blue snake who had defeated many giant snakes in succession.

The sound of a giant snake twisting its body and swimming away was heard, and a giant red snake that was as big as ten thousand snakes rushed over, coiled its body, raised its head high, and looked at the blue snake and Orochimaru.

"I'm Orochimaru. Shinya, are you interested in becoming my summoning beast?"

Orochimaru patted the blue snake's head, signaling it to retreat, and jumped up. The wind chakra surrounded her, giving her the ability to stay in the air for a short time, and she looked at Xinya.

The blue snake twisted its body and retreated, but did not go too far away. In fact, it was more like Orochimaru's summoned beast. Not only was it powerful, but during their interactions along the way, it could feel that Orochimaru treated the summoned beast not just as a tool, but as a partner who fought with it.

"Become your summoned beast? You don't think you, with the power of an immortal, can make me surrender! I'm not like those rubbish!"

Xinya's snake tail swung and swept towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru sensed Shinya's intention, and with his hands, the wind chakra surrounding her turned into a hurricane to protect her.

boom--!

The hurricane was broken up and Orochimaru ran on Shinya's huge body.

Shinga twisted his body, trying to drive Orochimaru off him.

"Immortal Technique·Thunder Escape·Thunder Extreme Moxibustion!"

There was a faint flash of lightning on Orochimaru's body, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

So fast!

There was a flash of lightning, and Orochimaru punched Shinga in the side of the face.

boom--!

Shinga cried out in pain; the pain from Orochimaru's tiny fist hitting his face was beyond his imagination.

How could she be so strong?

Could it be the technique just now...

"Don't be too proud!"

Xinya opened his mouth in anger and spewed petrifying venom in all directions.

"Your petrifying venom is too slow. You need more speed to hit me."

Orochimaru easily dodged the surprisingly slow petrifying venom and completed the hand seals with his hands in an instant.

"Earth Escape·Multiple Earth Current Walls!"

Earth escape chakra was injected into the ground, and thick earth walls rose one after another, forming a cage that trapped Xin Ya inside.

boom--!

The next moment, the earth wall was smashed by Xinya, and he rushed towards Orochimaru without slowing down.

Even though it's a bit stupid, I'll use you to test my strength!

Orochimaru stretched out his hands, and the Yin seals on his wrists released Yang escape chakra. His arms swelled up and veins popped out, holding up Xinya's head that had smashed the ground and was punching towards him.

boom--!

Shinya pushed Orochimaru's body against the rock walls and smashed them one after another.

"How can it be?!"

Shinya looked in disbelief at Orochimaru who had blocked his full-strength charge.

"It's my turn."

Orochimaru raised his head and looked at Xinya with a smile. His black hair puffed up slightly, and the lightning flashing all over his body became more obvious. His cold white skin looked glowing under the reflection of the lightning.

boom--!

Xinya's nose was hit hard. He raised his head in pain, shook his head, and was about to open his mouth to spit out venom when a white snake's tail whipped his chin and knocked his mouth shut.

Xinya, whose mouth was forced shut, felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment and was almost petrified by his own petrifying venom.

"Immortal Technique·Wind Escape·Night Wind!"

The terrifying hurricane, like a natural disaster, instantly engulfed Xinya's body.

"Immortal Technique·Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"

Orochimaru formed hand seals, and the white snake's tail turned into a white snake. From his mouth, a stream of water as turbulent as a rushing river flowed out, combining with the night wind to form an extremely huge water tornado.

Xinya was like a snake that had accidentally entered a washing machine, spinning helplessly in the huge waterspout. It wanted to rush out of the waterspout, but the strong suction made it difficult for it to break free.

The waterspout dissipated, and Shinya's huge body fell heavily to the ground, spinning uncontrollably on the ground. It took a while to recover, and looked at Orochimaru who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in meditation with fear. It didn't want to experience the feeling of spinning in a waterspout again.

"You are so powerful that you still need me to be your summoned beast?"

"That's just my strength in Sage Mode. I need your strength, Xinya. Be my partner in battle!"

Orochimaru invited Xinya, and they had already fought. If Xinya rejected her invitation, she could only settle for the second best and let down the blue snake who had been leading the way for her.

"Okay, then let me be your partner in battle!"

Shinya lowered his head, which meant that he submitted to Orochimaru and was willing to become her summoning beast and fight alongside her.

"You really made quite a commotion!"

Princess Ichikijima appeared beside Orochimaru with her hands on her chin. Orochimaru had not been in the snake's nest for long, but he had defeated all the powerful snakes in the nest one by one.

"Ichikishima-hime-sensei? Why are you here?"

Although Xinya used honorifics, his tone did not show any respect for Ichikishima-hime.

In its view, the three snake princesses who gave up their snake bodies and transformed into human forms were far less powerful than the giant snake, which was huge in size and possessed great strength and speed.

Not only it, many big snakes in the big snake nest think so.

Ryuchi Cave is a place where strength is respected, which is different from peaceful places like Myoboku Mountain.

The White Snake Immortal is respected by all the big snakes, not only because of his qualifications, but also because his powerful strength is enough to crush all the snakes in Longdi Cave.

"It has nothing to do with you, Xinya."

Princess Ichikijima glanced at Xinya. She never expected that the well-known troublemaker in the snake's lair would be severely beaten by Orochimaru.

"You haven't been following me all this time, have you?" Orochimaru glanced at the elusive Ichikishima-hime. "If you're bored, why not prepare for a new trial?"

"Don't even mention the trial! You're capable of designing a test more formidable than mine!"

Princess Ichikishima couldn't stand it anymore. Orochimaru always used this matter to humiliate her. It was really too much.

"That's what you said. If I design a more powerful and difficult trial, what good will it do me?"

Orochimaru crossed his arms across his chest, his golden eyes narrowed slightly, and his white snake tail was wrapped around his waist, with the tip of the tail swinging.

"Benefits? What benefits do you want? Isn't it enough for me to help you practice immortal arts?"

Princess Ichikijima looked at the greedy Orochimaru, but she didn't hate him. If he wasn't a madman who was extremely thirsty for power, how could he come to Ryuchi Cave?

"How about this, if the trial I design is stronger than your childish one, you will assist me when I need you."

The tip of the white snake's tail swayed slightly faster. Orochimaru was already well aware of the abilities of the three snake princesses. If he could get help from one of them, with their elusive abilities, there would be so much they could do.

What's more, these three snake princesses are not positive characters, so they won't be too resistant when they do bad things.

"The trials you designed are a test for those who come to Longdi Cave. If you design a trial that no one can pass, don't even think about gaining my recognition!"

Princess Ichikishima didn't believe that Orochimaru could design such a powerful trial.

"Xinya, this is for you."

Orochimaru flicked a regeneration pill into the mouth of Xinya, who was staring at him in amazement.

"This is……"

Xinya could feel that he had swallowed something, and his injuries healed much faster.

"These are pills to heal my injuries. I'll call upon you when I need help, Xinya." Orochimaru jumped onto the blue snake's head and said, "Blue snake, please take me back."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

The blue snake swam out with Orochimaru.

Partner?...

Xinya watched Orochimaru and Blue Snake leave, and was looking forward to the day when he could fight alongside Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, can I become your summoning beast?"

At the entrance to the Serpent's lair, the blue snake looked down at Orochimaru.

"if you are willing to."

A hint of surprise flashed across Orochimaru's face, and then he smiled.

"Yes! Lord Orochimaru, I do!"

The blue snake nodded repeatedly, overjoyed. It thought that Lord Orochimaru would reject it since he had such a powerful summoning beast like Shinya.

PS:

Wanshe is definitely stronger than Xinya in terms of strength and speed.

In terms of ability, I personally think Xinya is a little more powerful. Anyone who touches her with petrifying venom will turn into a stone sculpture. Wanshe's snake shedding technique is used to save his life, and the consumption should be considerable, and it may not even be possible to use it multiple times in a row.

Volume 111: Chapter : Dark Clouds

In the cave where Princess Ichikishima used to test those who sought power, the various shaped holes on the stone door were replaced by movable puzzle pieces. Strangely, there were no patterns on these puzzle pieces.

"Want to give it a try?"

Orochimaru looked at Tanoshinshinhime, Ichikishimahime, and Tamatsuhime who had been staring at the stone gate for a long time.

“Is this a puzzle?”

Princess Tsujin saw that there was a puzzle on the stone gate, but the pieces of the puzzle didn't even have a pattern. How could they be put together?

This is clearly not allowing others to pass the test!

Princess Tsuzu realized Orochimaru's true purpose.

"If this were a puzzle, how would you put it together?"
