Chapter 345 Xin Ya's Memories, Finally Contracted with Ryuchi Cave
"What is this? What are you doing, brat?!" Feeling the strong suppression from the soul level, Xin Ya Snake's eyes widened in surprise and he growled.
How can this brat have such terrifying chakra?
Faced with its furious roar, Ishikawa gave a strange smile, and his spirit instantly left and returned to his body.
Almost simultaneously, Shukaku, who had just rushed into the belly of the snake, was about to pull out its reverse scale when it trembled, stopped, and looked up to meet the snake's left eye.
The next instant, Ishikawa formed a hand seal in his right pupil and, taking advantage of the brief gap in his previous burst of spiritualization technique to suppress Shinya, successfully entered Shinya's brain.
"Found it!!"
As Ishikawa sped past those tedious snake nest brawls, he soon stumbled upon a peculiar scene deep within Shinya's memory.
Before a desert fortress, Shinya, now with both eyes intact, and a lightning-style ninja worked together to wreak havoc...
Just as the fortress was about to be breached after wave of enemy ninja attacks, the lightning ninja suddenly ambushed Shinya and blinded its right eye.
This left Xin Ya bewildered, never expecting that its most trusted partner would betray it.
Then, when Xin Ya was knocked unconscious and woke up again, he saw a dilapidated fortress that had been conquered...
"So that's it. It's because he was hurt in the past that he hates humans so much, especially lightning ninjas!" Ishikawa understood instantly, and then sped up his investigation to gather more information.
He didn't care about the man who betrayed Xinya; he could erase that man's memory and restore Xinya's normal emotions if he wanted to.
However, that's just a last resort and not important. The key now is information about the White Snake Immortal.
Xin Ya's audacity to challenge the White Snake Immortal speaks volumes.
"Wait, this is..." After another frantic search, Ishikawa finally spotted a captivatingly alluring figure in Shinya's long-forgotten memories.
On that day, Xin Ya, still a little snake, followed behind his father and saw the White Snake Immortal for the first time. She was a beautiful snake lady in palace attire with full breasts and a slender waist, without any makeup.
However, at that time, Xin Ya was completely indifferent to the human attire; it only felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the White Snake Immortal.
"It's another selection of immortal talents that happens once every fifty years. In order to ensure that Dragon Land Cave has the strength to deal with the possible world-ending crisis again, I need you to undergo the trial of immortal arts."
"Of course, you all know the result of failure. The giant serpent that cannot pass will be eaten by me, making a final contribution to Ryuchi Cave with its own flesh!"
"And the great serpent that passes the test will become one of my elders, gaining immortal powers and shouldering the future of Dragon Earth Cave..."
Standing before several enormous snakes, each comparable in size to Wan She, the beautiful White Snake Immortal in her palace attire softly murmured, her red lips conveying an imposing aura.
Although it was a notification and inquiry, the invisible pressure of the immortal made it impossible for the snakes to refuse, so they could only nod in agreement.
Among them, a large red snake that looked almost exactly like Xin Ya reluctantly turned its head to look at Xin Ya, and finally gritted its teeth to accept the White Snake Immortal's deadly snake kiss.
"Father..." Amidst Xin Ya's painful cries, the crimson serpent ultimately failed the test of immortal arts and was swallowed whole by the White Serpent Immortal.
In that trial, only one serpent sage, Princess Ichikishima, was born from among the many great serpents.
"Damn it, what exactly is this world-ending crisis? Is this a conspiracy? Or is it a trick by the White Snake Immortal to gain everyone's power?!"
Xin Ya returned home and growled weakly, finally gritting his teeth to grow stronger and fight back.
Therefore, it is willing to cooperate with humans, preparing to use human power to find the truth and expose the White Snake Immortal's conspiracy.
However, it was betrayed and disheartened by humans before it could even begin its mission.
It was under these circumstances that One-Eyed Shinya saw the White Snake Sage again after fifty years.
It was the same opening scene as his father's, with the same terrifying pressure that he couldn't resist. Xin Ya was ultimately forced to inject natural energy to undergo the test.
Fortunately, Xin Ya was lucky this time and passed.
Not only that, it also turned out to be a blessing in disguise, awakening the immortal technique of petrification, which even the White Snake Immortal had never mastered.
In an instant, Xin Ya, having upgraded his weaponry, became someone who didn't respect the White Snake Immortal. He directly refused to become a high-ranking elder and instead dominated a region in the raging serpent's lair, refusing to obey orders.
"An apocalyptic crisis? Could it be..." After quickly reviewing Xin Ya's memories, Ishikawa suddenly realized something.
The crisis that even the White Snake Sage feared must have been the era of Kaguya, the Goddess of the Rabbit, a thousand years ago!
Although the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku only appeared in the original story, this does not mean that Ryūchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest were not involved in the preparations.
In other words, the White Snake Immortal was not lying; he was indeed building up his power to prepare for a possible cataclysmic crisis that might erupt again!
However, Ishikawa doesn't believe there was no selfish motive involved.
The White Snake Immortal was able to maintain his sanity for a thousand years without becoming senile, presumably because he was nourished by the power of those giant snakes...
So, did the White Snake Immortal send me here to seize the Reverse Scale to subdue Xin Ya? Or did he want to eat Xin Ya to obtain the Petrification Technique?
After a moment of silence, Ishikawa returned to reality and looked at the object of his rebellion with a sense of unease.
"Ishikawa, what exactly are you trying to do? If you're going to make a move, do it quickly, that guy is coming over soon!" Just as Ishikawa was filled with doubt, Shukaku's voice rang in his ears.
The next instant, Xin Ya had recovered and opened its foul-smelling maw to bite down...
"Shinya, I can help you restore your right eye and I promise I won't betray you first. Do you want to give it a try?" Ishikawa interrupted as soon as he saw this, and as he spoke, crimson chakra rose from his body, and under Shinya's horrified gaze, he transformed into the Three-Tails Shukaku, which was almost the same size as Shinya.
However, compared to the one-tailed Shukaku's earthy yellow body, this three-tailed creature is a bit darker and more yellow!
"Of course, you can disagree if you want. But if I attack again, I won't hold back. How about a Tailed Beast Ball?"
"Tailed Beast Ball? Damn it, you're still a Jinchūriki." Shinya shouted angrily, but his only remaining left eye was darting around, calculating gains and losses.
It's definitely no match for them in a fight. Even with the petrification sage technique, they can't petrify the opponent immediately with the power of the tailed beast.
Then... what's there to hesitate about? It seems there's only one way out...
"I can agree to your request, but that doesn't mean I'll trust you. If you're not afraid of being devoured by me, then go ahead and sign the contract!" With an arrogant grin, Xin Ya spat out a contract scroll and tossed it at Ishikawa's feet.
"Hehe, then go ahead and try it..." Ishikawa curled his lip, unconcerned, and opened the scroll with burning eyes, looking up at it.
The most recent contractor was none other than Orochimaru.
Finally, he finally obtained the most prestigious summoning inheritance from the Three Ninja!
Without hesitation, Ishikawa immediately bit his finger, wrote his name on it, and pressed his bloody fingerprint to complete the contractual relationship.
The Ryūchi-dō legacy is mine!!
