After Uchiha Sasuke used the Reverse Psychic Spell, he appeared inside a fog so thick that he could not see his fingers.
The reason why he wanted to use the Reverse Psychic Spell was because he did not know the Ryuchi Cave Spirit Beast in this era.
Once a high level snake get summoned to Konoha, it might cause some trouble.
And those smaller snakes basically did not know human language and could not communicate with Sasuke.
"Step, step, step, step."
In the fog, Uchiha Sasuke walked forward at a moderate pace.
After a few minutes, some lights appeared in the fog ahead.
As the distance got closer and closer, the door of the Ryuchi Cave was finally presented to Uchiha Sasuke.
From the outside, the entrance to the Ryuchi Cave looked like a Chinese restaurant, about ten meters tall.
Outside the door stood several thick coiled snake pillars, and under the eaves were rows of red lanterns.
Above the tightly shut door hung a plaque with the words "Ryuchi Cave" written on it.
Uchiha had just arrived at the door when the door opened by itself, revealing the magnificent layout inside.
Behind the door stood a dignified woman dressed in white.
It was Tagorihime from Ryuchi Cave.
"Welcome to Ryuchi Cave."
Sasuke's expression did not change and he walked straight in.
Tagorihime was not annoyed by Sasuke's indifference. She pointed to the dishes placed in the hall with a smile and said,
"The guest must be tired. There is food specially prepared for the guest here. Please do not be reserved."
Uchiha Sasuke naturally knew this set of trials in the Ryuchi Cave.
He immediately looked at Tagorihime and said coldly, "I'm looking for Immortal White snake. I'm not here to ask for Immortal Arts."
Tagorihime was stunned for a moment.
She covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled.
"Oh, I see. Immortal White snake is busy.
Then please rest for a while. I will take you there later. "
Sasuke said lightly, "The illusion of the Ryuchi Cave is useless to me. If you carry out such a boring trial to me again, I don't mind collecting a reverse scale."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of annoyance appeared on Tagorihime's face. Her originally delicate face also turned into a terrifying snake face.
The originally bright lights in the hall were instantly extinguished.
Those dishes that originally looked delicious had also turned into dried up bones.
Tagorihime spit out the letter, her snake eyes stared at Sasuke Uchiha and said:
"What a rude fellow. I thought I could taste fresh chakra. It is really disappointing."
The first trial of the Dragon Cave was controlled by Tagorihime. If the person who came did not eat the dishes prepared by her, then he would pass.
If he ate the dishes, then he would faint and be eaten by Tagorihime.
Of course, rules were rules, and these people in the Ryuchi Cave had never been willing to follow the rules.
Uchiha Sasuke's expression turned cold. He opened the Eternal Mangekyo in his right eye and opened the Six tomoe Rinnegan. He stared at Tagorihime and said,
"It seems that you want to break the rules of Ryuchi Cave."
At this moment, the surrounding scenery changed.
In an instant, the two of them were in front of an ancient temple.
An ancient voice came from the temple.
"Let him in."
Tagorihime immediately put away her fierce look and returned to her previous appearance. She politely nodded at Uchiha Sasuke and said,
"Since the White Snake Immortal has invited you, then the guest naturally does not have to go through the next trial."
Uchiha Sasuke ignored the small fish like Tagorihime and directly pushed open the temple door and walked in.
In the spacious and dim temple, the huge steps spread towards the inside.
At the end of the steps was a huge seat.
There was a white-haired old woman lying on the seat with her eyes narrowed.
This old woman who looked kind was the White Snake Immortal of Ryuchi Cave.
As soon as Uchiha Sasuke entered the temple, she heard the White Snake Immortal speak in a raving voice.
"People are born for desire and are destined to fall into darkness slowly.
All the people who came to find me are satisfied with desire.
But you are different. You have the eyes of an immortal, so you don't need my help at all.
Why are you looking for me?"
Uchiha Sasuke's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "I want to know where Orochimaru is."
When White snake Immortal heard this, her eyelids twitched, as if she was hesitating to say it out.
After all, White Snake knew a little about Orochimaru's situation.
Moreover, Orochimaru had signed a contract with Ryuchi Cave.
If this person was here to cause trouble for Orochimaru, then White Snake Immortal would definitely not tell him.
Seeing that White Snake Immortal did not reply, Uchiha Sasuke pondered for a moment and said,
"Looks like Orochimaru is still alive.
I don't have any grudges with Orochimaru.
This time, I came here to ask Orochimaru about Uchiha Tunan.
Of course, if you know, please tell me."
When the White Snake Immortal heard this, her eyes narrowed again. She said slowly,
"Uchiha... Tunan...
Sorry, I haven't been out for too long, and I don't have the prophecy ability of the old toad.
As for Orochimaru, he was training immortal arts in the Ryuchi cave.
Let Tagorihime take you there. "
Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly.
Wasn't Orochimaru of this era supposed to be researching immortality and dreaming of eternal life?
It seemed that even Orochimaru had changed. He was actually training the Ryuchi Cave's arts.
"Thank you."
Uchiha Sasuke did not ask any more questions. He turned around and walked out of the temple.
Under the lead of Tagorihime, they headed deep into the Ryuchi Cave.
Deep in the Ryuchi Cave.
Although there was no blue sky or white clouds here, it did not feel like they were in a cave.
Along the way, there were mountains, rivers, and forests, but there was mist floating everywhere.
When Tagorihime brought Uchiha Sasuke to a forest, she stopped and motioned for Uchiha Sasuke to help himself go in.
Uchiha Sasuke walked towards the depths of the forest, and soon saw Orochimaru standing on the empty ground in front of him, wearing a white kimono.
"I heard that you are looking for me, Uchiha who has the Eyes of the Immortal."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at the two horns on Orochimaru's forehead and said lightly, "It seems that you have succeeded."
Although Orochimaru did not know Uchiha Sasuke, he did not show any surprise. Obviously, before Sasuke came, White Snake had already told him the information about him.
Orochimaru stuck out his slender tongue, suppressed the greed in his heart, and said humbly,
"It's just a small achievement, but it's far from enough.
If a person wants to live a stable life, just having a lifespan is not enough, and they also need strength to protect them.
You make me feel an inexplicable fear. I think you must be very strong.
Although I have been away from Konoha for a while, I still know who the powerful people are.
You look so unfamiliar, are you the descendant of Uchiha?
Or the descendant of the Rikudou Sennin?"
Uchiha Sasuke was already used to Orochimaru's eyes, so he directly asked:
"I want to know everything about Uchiha Tunan."
Orochimaru tilted his head and said leisurely,
"So you are his enemy. You want to find out more about him from me."
Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and said, "Whether I am his enemy or not, we have to find out more about him."
Orochimaru's fingers moved slightly, but in the end, he gave up the idea of attacking.
After all, the White Snake Immortal had warned him repeatedly in advance not to have any evil thoughts about him.
"He was once the number one genius in Konoha, and he was born with five types of Chakra.
Later, he became the pupil of the 3rd generation old man and mastered a lot of Ninjutsu.
Because of some coincidences, he learned Immortal Arts in the Temple of Fire.
When he fought with me, he used it...."
Orochimaru was just halfway through his sentence when Uchiha Sasuke interrupted him,
"What I want to know is not what he is good at, but what his character is like."
Orochimaru was stunned, and then laughed cruelly. Finally, he shook his head and said,
"Although I am his enemy, I have to say that according to the facts I have seen with my own eyes, he is indeed a good person."
"Good person?" Uchiha Sasuke said doubtfully.
Orochimaru nodded, and the image of him fighting with Uchiha Tunan appeared in his mind. He said slowly,
"The Temple of Fire needs to have flawless kindness to learn it."
"I understand."
Uchiha Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Just then, Orochimaru called Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke looked back, only to see Orochimaru smiling faintly.
"Just now, it only represents my personal opinion, but my other two companions seem to have a different impression of him.
But I am not interested in understanding. If you think it is necessary, I can inform them to come over. "
Uchiha Sasuke's expression froze when he heard this, and he asked doubtfully,
"Companions? You mean Jiraiya and Tsunade?
It seems that the bonds of Konoha's Sannin are much deeper than I imagined.
Even if you become a traitor now, they still want to protect you."
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said in a deep voice:
"Didn't Konoha already release a wanted order for them?
I only learned about this from the White Snake Immortal half a year ago.
He also chatted with them for a while."
Uchiha Sasuke frowned and said, "How is that possible? Jiraiya and Tsunade betrayed the village?"
Although Uchiha Sasuke had been secretly gathering information in Konoha these days, the time was too short and the channels were limited.
Basically, he could only learn about it from the idle conversations of the villagers, and many of the things that were known to the public were still unknown.
"The Ninja Realm should know about this matter, right?
The Konoga Sannin of the past had become the Konoha betrayer, how laughable it sounded."
As Orochimaru spoke, he raised his head and spat out a scroll from his mouth.
