Your face is swollen.

Clean opening.

It seems that Ryuzetsu, like himself, has been humiliated by that unfamiliar Uchiha.

"Oh, yes."

Longshe was initially hesitant, but a sudden memory told her that it was indeed true.

Her keen eyesight was subtly and imperceptibly changing her.

If someone were to look at her with their Byakugan, they would see a dark chakra coiled within her brain nerves.

"Alright, let's go back."

Longshe is sparing with words.

She didn't want to say a word right now, and her throat felt like it was burning.

It also has a strange taste.

"Alright."

Wu Gou nodded.

His and Longshe's injuries did indeed require treatment back in the village, so the two traveled together and quickly returned to the village.

…………

Another few days passed.

Kiyoshi and his group arrived at a dense forest from a place full of towering mushroom trees.

Those trees were the tallest trees Kiyoshi had ever seen.

Unfortunately, the fog obscured the view, preventing Kiyoshi from seeing much of it.

The Sharingan can only see the flow of chakra, and "farsightedness" can only see things that are further away.

To get past obstacles, you need "X-ray vision".

"This is Ryuchi Cave."

Orochimaru stopped in his tracks.

Kiyoshi and Mitarashi Anko also stopped.

Following Orochimaru's gaze, there was a magnificent building with the three large characters "Ryuchi Cave" inscribed on it.

There were also many yellow lanterns hanging there, each with the character "dragon" written on it.

“It’s not what I thought.”

Mitarashi Azuko muttered to herself.

Ryūchi Cave is a place for learning immortal arts; shouldn't it be a place filled with ethereal beauty, solemn and majestic?

It looks like a busy downtown area.

squeak……

The door to Yongji-dong was pushed open, revealing a magnificent interior.

A beautiful young woman emerged from the crowd, her posture elegant, with green hair and a golden crown topped with a golden sphere.

"It's been a long time since we last welcomed you all."

"Hehe, it's been a long time, Princess Tianxin. It's me."

Orochimaru spoke to the woman.

"It's you again, Orochimaru! Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the White Snake Sage?"

Tashin Shinki's skin was as pale as Orochimaru's, with long, golden pupils and red eyeshadow that extended from black to her nose.

As she spoke, fangs suddenly sprouted from her elegant face, her mouth split open, and her face lengthened, resembling a snake. She stuck out her blue tongue to intimidate Orochimaru.

"It's not me who's here to practice immortal arts this time, it's this young man behind me."

Orochimaru moved aside.

Princess Tianxin looked over.

Mitarashi Anko was completely ignored by her.

She stared intently at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi felt a little confused by the stares he was being given.

He secretly thought that he had never had any contact with the people of Longdi Cave, nor had he ever practiced any other immortal arts.

The only live slug he ever came into contact with only transferred ordinary chakra to him.

So... why is Princess Tianxin looking at me like this?

Without making a sound, Kiyoshi had already prepared to use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to escape immediately if things went wrong.

Who are the people you brought with you?

Princess Tianxin stared at Kiyoshi for a long time before uttering a sentence.

Her face regained its elegant and beautiful appearance.

"He's a boy from the Uchiha clan, is there a problem?"

This appearance aroused Orochimaru's curiosity.

He had gone through countless hardships to find this place with the Jugo clan, but Princess Tianxin had always been arrogant and condescending.

To pass through Ryuchi Cave, one must undergo three trials before meeting the esteemed White Snake Immortal.

Each level is manned by the White Snake Immortal's elder-level trusted confidants who test travelers seeking the immortal's power. Those who fail are immediately devoured.

At that time, he finally passed the three tests, but failed in the final test of enduring natural energy.

He lacks the aptitude to cultivate "Sage Mode" and use Sage Power!

“He is somewhat similar to the Jugo clan outside, yet completely different.”

After a long pause, Princess Tianxin spoke.

From her perspective, the rich natural energy around her seemed to soften, gently nuzzling against Kiyoshi.

The Jugo clan also had a similar effect, but it was even more brutal.

The violent natural energy will surge in, regardless of whether the Jugo clan members are willing or not, as if it wants to assimilate them.

The result is that members of the Jugo clan often go mad and suffer from physical deformities.

They cannot control this natural energy.

Therefore, although their clan can often enter the "immortal realm," they can only live in places far from human habitation.

"The Chongwu clan?"

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed.

Does Kiyoshi also possess such talent?

"That concludes the first round of trials. Now, let's move on to the second round."

With a wave of her hand, Princess Tianxin turned the once magnificent building into a fog.

Beneath the mist lay only skeletons, both human and beast.

Mitarashi Anko was startled; it was all an illusion!

She also saw many fragrant foods in the palace behind, but they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You can continue onward; Princess Ichikishima is there."

Princess Tianxin pointed in a direction.

If it were anyone else, Princess Tianxin would certainly not be so kind.

After noticing Kiyoshi's unusual behavior, she didn't mind forging a good relationship with him.

"Hiss..."

The white snake seemed to have caught the scent of its own kind, and poked its little head out from Kiyoshi's sleeve.

"Go, Kiyoshi."

Orochimaru and Mitarashi Anko remained where they were.

Kiyoshi nodded and continued walking into the mist.

The first test just now was a test of human greed.

If she stays here and eats a lot of food, her body and chakra will be devoured.

Soon, only Kiyoshi remained, trapped in the fog.

He arrived at a cave.

The cave walls were covered with gaps of various shapes, and there were stones on the ground that resembled the gaps.

“I will let you pass if you fill the gap in the wall with the stones on the ground.”

This is Princess Ichikishima, who is undergoing the second trial. Her attire is similar to that of Princess Tashin, except that the edges of her robes are blue.

Her body was not as voluptuous as that of Princess Tianxin; she was much smaller.

"Fill it up?"

Kiyoshi reached out, and all the stones on the ground were swept up by the whirlwind and roughly stuffed into the gap.

"All right."

Kiyoshi spoke in less than three seconds.

He looked up at Princess Ichikishima, who was floating in the air.

The snakes in Ryuchi Cave can transform into human form and possess the ability to fly.

Kiyoshi guessed it was some kind of magic.

"Eh?"

Just as Princess Ichikishima was about to make a few contemptuous sarcastic remarks to Kiyoshi, Kiyoshi said, "It's settled."

Sure enough, the gap was filled with stones.

The reason is that the stones on the ground are very brittle, and the parts that cannot be inserted are squeezed out, so the missing parts are inserted with another stone.

So all the gaps in the wall were filled completely.

The solution to the three trials of Ryuchi Cave was actually revealed in the Boruto TV series.

Boruto's method was to manually crush the stone and then stuff it inside.

Kiyoshi simply simplified this process.

"You...you passed."

Princess Ichikishima's eyes widened.

In all these centuries, Kiyoshi was the first person to achieve this speed!

Is this person quick-witted, or arrogant and conceited?

Princess Ichikishima thought to herself.

Soon after, she discovered the same thing as Princess Kokoro.

Natural energy affectionately protected Qing Si, carefully swirling around him.

She had never seen such a phenomenon even with the White Snake Immortal.

It's truly amazing.

Princess Ichikishima immediately stepped aside and pointed out the next trial location to Kiyoshi.

Two minutes later.

Suddenly, a dark shadow lunged at Kiyoshi's neck.

Bang!
