squeak...
The heavy doors slowly opened, revealing a magnificent and resplendent interior.
An elegant green-haired girl walked gracefully out of the door, wearing an exquisite golden crown with a perfectly round golden jewel at the top.
"It's been a long time since we last welcomed you all."
"Princess Tianxin, it's been a long time. It's me."
Kiyoshi spoke to the woman.
"Ah, it's you, Uchiha Kiyoshi."
Princess Tianxin's skin was as pale as moonlight, with long, golden pupils and red eyeshadow that extended from black to her nose.
As she spoke, a look of surprise appeared on her elegant face.
Through the White Snake Sage, Tashin Shinki also learned that Kiyoshi had become very strong, quelled the Third Shinobi World War, and even became the Hokage of Konoha.
His strength is now incomparable to what it was when he first came here.
The young ninja who first stepped into Ryuchi Cave back then has now become so powerful that she dares not underestimate him.
"Do you have any good snakes? Arrange some for me."
Qing Si got straight to the point.
Then he looked at Princess Tianxin.
She still has the same face, smooth skin, and slender fingertips.
It must be said that even though Tianxin Shenji is a snake-transformed being, her appearance has not been affected by the passage of time at all.
Their lifespan must have been over a thousand years; a few years or a dozen years is too short.
This made Qing Si wonder, should he be Xu Xian or a rough-and-tumble hero?
Happy National Day to all my fellow readers! This humble author is begging for your monthly votes!
Chapter 420 Kushina, the White-Silk Maid
"I don't think you'll ask me for offerings."
Kiyoshi crossed his arms, his body still bearing the slightly violent chakra fluctuations left by the opening of the half-step Nine Gates.
The unusually turbulent chakra startled the perceptive Tashin-hime. She had no idea what Kiyoshi had done before arriving to leave such a chilling mark.
"You're joking. Our Dragon Cave is not a place of evil spirits. Some of our clansmen ask for living people as sacrifices, but that's purely a personal matter."
"We only eat the losers who come to Ryuchi Cave to alleviate their suffering, and we will not go out to do evil."
Princess Tianxin covered her mouth and chuckled, subtly pointing the finger at Orochimaru's summoning beast, Manda.
What she meant by saying that was to summon ten thousand snakes.
Every time Manda goes out, Orochimaru has to prepare dozens of living human sacrifices.
Just kidding, if she angers Kiyoshi, the White Snake Immortal might even blame her.
"Do these two boys behind you need it?"
Princess Tashin looked at Sasuke and Naruto, who were standing behind Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi nodded and said:
"Find them a spirit beast, one with a gentle temperament."
Qing Si spoke calmly.
He doesn't need to be as humble as Orochimaru when facing Ryuchi Cave.
The immortals of the three holy lands are mysterious, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are powerful.
The original Gamamaru, also known as the Great Toad Sage, guided the Sage of Six Paths step by step to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki.
As for the other two immortals, they didn't dare to show their faces during Kaguya's era.
Especially since they are all already old.
Kiyoshi didn't think they could live for another thousand years.
"Of course not. You have passed the test of our Ryūchi Cave, so you are the true successor of our Ryūchi Cave lineage."
Princess Tianxin smiled.
"I think they both have good potential for cultivating 'Sage Mode'."
Princess Tianxin glanced at Naruto.
She felt that Naruto had talent in this area, and if he were to train in "Sage Mode," he would probably master it very quickly.
"Let's wait until they're a bit older."
Kiyoshi's heart skipped a beat.
Naruto's talent in "Sage Mode" is indeed remarkable; he was able to learn the "Sage Mode" of Mount Myōboku in a short period of time.
What if Naruto were to take the Ryuchi Cave route?
Kiyoshi became interested.
He was curious about how Mount Myōboku would react if the so-called "Child of Prophecy" were to become a disciple of Ryūchi-dō.
Or if he takes Sasuke to Mount Myōboku, will Mount Myōboku consider Sasuke to be a "Child of Prophecy" as well?
After all, apart from not being able to play around with the nine tailed beasts, Sasuke's strength has always been on par with Naruto's, and both of them possess the power to change the world and bring about change.
"Where are the snakes?"
Naruto rested his head on his hands, his eyes narrowed to slits.
He looked around carefully, but saw nothing at all.
Where are the snakes?
"She is a snake."
Kiyoshi indicated that it was Princess Tashin.
Upon hearing this, Princess Tianxin stuck out her long, narrow tongue and danced it in the air, making her cute face look somewhat ferocious.
Naruto was startled.
It's another monster just like that White Snake!
"Hmph, coward."
Sasuke had spent more time with Kiyoshi and often saw the white snake, so he already had a preconceived notion when he met Tashin-hime.
"Then please follow me."
Princess Tianxin led the way.
The air deep inside Ryūchi Cave is warm and humid, and the rock walls are covered with moss, emitting a faint, shimmering glow.
"Uchiha Kiyoshi is here?"
Not long after Princess Tianxin left, another woman came out.
She looked much shorter than Tianxin Shenji, and her whole body was delicate and beautiful, like a little loli.
Her most distinctive feature is her long, dark blue hair and red eyeshadow.
That is, Princess Ichikishima.
"You're quite an interesting human; you show no signs of aging at all."
Princess Ichikishima spoke up.
The most common techniques are those that preserve one's outward appearance.
But she could feel the vigorous life force within Kiyoshi's body, bursting with vitality at all times.
This means that Kiyoshi is in the prime of his life, the so-called golden age.
"Snakes can cultivate 'immortal arts' to achieve immortality, so why can't humans do the same?"
Qingsi smiled slightly.
His physical body had long since increased its affinity with natural energy to an alarming degree, and under the influence of the term, it continued to improve his body, driving its transformation.
Evolving towards the "physical body of a sage," and becoming even more perfect than Hashirama Senju.
"interesting."
Princess Ichikishima nodded.
"Immortal arts" do indeed have a certain effect on prolonging life.
Not only did they live for a long time, but the two old toads, Fukasaku and Shima, from Mount Myōboku also lived for over eight hundred years.
They just can't transform into human form.
Princess Tsurugi, who was deep inside the lair of the giant serpent in Ryuchi Cave, noticed that Princess Tashin and Princess Ichikishima had brought in a group of humans, and curiously followed them.
"Natural energy is like a docile sheep to you."
Princess Tsurugi looked at Kiyoshi and sighed.
The cultivation of natural energy is extremely dangerous. The violent energy requires sufficient mental will to subdue, and one's chakra reserves must also be sufficient, otherwise one will suffer a backlash.
Due to various limitations, "Sage Techniques," a shortcut that could amplify the power of ninjutsu several times over, became a mere illusion.
For 90% of ninjas, they simply cannot learn "Sage Techniques" and do not know where to learn them.
"If you were to secretly cultivate in Ryuchi Cave, you would surely become a 'celestial being' among humans."
"That's what Princess Tsuratsu said."
Her appearance was as beautiful as a flower, and she was considered the most elegant and mature of the three Snake Queens.
Even a simple white long dress couldn't hide her curvaceous figure, exuding mature charm.
“I can do this even without training in Ryuchi Cave.”
Qingsi said.
Having combined three major "immortal arts," including the curse seal, he had long since forged a unique path.
Even if Kiyoshi writes down the method and it becomes a new technique.
Later generations will not be able to learn it.
It only reached the point where the "Flying Thunder God Technique" was directly lost after the deaths of Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze.
The only one that can be approached is the basic version of "Flying Thunder God Technique," which requires several combinations to use, essentially disassembling the complete "Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Take a look and see if there's a snake you like to use as a spirit beast."
Kiyoshi pointed to the large snakes that were resting below.
Sasuke looked down at the swarm of giant snakes, pondering which one he should choose if he were to form a contract.
Naruto, on the other hand, immediately took a liking to a large, crimson snake with reverse scales below.
I want it!
Naruto pointed at the large, red male snake.
"Shinya?"
Tsuratsuhime followed Naruto's gaze.
Xinya is a good choice; he's both capable and reliable.
"Then let him come up."
As Qing Si stretched out his hand, the surrounding natural energy surged.
Soon, "Sage Chakra" formed a golden phantom serpent, which bit Shinya and dragged him up.
Faced with the enormous phantom that was three or four times taller than himself, Xin Ya could only wriggle his body, which was more than ten meters long, like an eel.
"You...who are you?"
Xin Ya looked at Qing Si with a wary expression. If it weren't for the fact that the three Snake Queens were also there, he would have wanted to run away for his life.
