Ryūchi Cave is a place of inheritance that is renowned alongside Mount Myōboku and the Shikkotsu Forest. It is a training ground where Sage Mode can be achieved.
Sage Mode is the utilization of natural energy.
"There are many techniques that use natural energy in Ryūchi Cave. Maybe you can find a technique similar to Caged Bird and understand its structure." Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and spoke.
"However, it is a pity that not even Orochimaru-sama has mastered Sage Mode. If you plan to go, Natsuo-sama, remember to prepare yourself mentally beforehand."
"Understood." Natsuo nodded. "But it's about time I go and take a look..."
Among the three sacred places, the one Natsuo wanted to visit the most was Ryūchi Cave, not Mount Myōboku or the Shikkotsu Forest.
As for the reason...
"Neji, you should rest well for now." Natsuo smiled. "When I come back, maybe I can help you solve the problem on your body."
Neji slightly bowed upon hearing this.
"I will make sure to repay you in the future, Natsuo-sama. It will definitely satisfy you." However, a hint of doubt appeared in his pure white pupils.
Is it worth risking going to Ryūchi Cave for oneself? Is Natsuo really such a friendly person?
On the other hand, Yakushi Kabuto narrowed his eyes when he saw this. Then, as if he had thought of something, his expression changed.
"No, it's not possible... But maybe it's not impossible... How could this be... He wouldn't really be thinking..."
"Hiss..."
Yakushi Kabuto took a sharp breath and looked at Natsuo's figure with awe.
Entering Ryūchi Cave is quite simple.
Ryūchi Cave exists between reality and illusion, but the entrance is known to many. However, apart from those who visit with sincerity, it is impossible for anyone to enter Ryūchi Cave.
Of course, Natsuo doesn't need to worry about that.
Anko possesses the Ryūchi Cave Summoning scroll inherited from Orochimaru. Natsuo just needs to sign his name on it and let the Reverse Summoning of the snakes summon him over.
Although curious about why Natsuo suddenly became interested in the Ryūchi Cave, Anko still gave a series of instructions and took out the Summoning scroll.
Learning the Summoning jutsu was simple, and Natsuo quickly entered a clearing that resembled a forest of bones.
"Oh? Isn't this the test of the Three Great Snake Princesses?" Natsuo looked around. "But it doesn't matter, I'll just take my time."
The Ryūchi Cave is named "cave," but in reality, it is naturally built underground.
It is mainly composed of a giant cave that was built by someone unknown, occasionally with some unknown tree roots falling from the sky.
There is a strong smell of snakes in the surroundings, and occasionally some small snakes crawl by his feet.
They prey on mice, tear apart lizards, and with countless snakes crawling, it is like a paradise for snakes.
As Natsuo continued walking, suddenly a dense and extremely thick fog appeared. After walking for a while, a huge castle appeared in front of him.
With brightly lit lanterns, a plaque in the center engraved with the words 'Ryūchi Cave', with old style windows and wooden pillars.
"It seems that I have arrived." Natsuo raised his head and looked at the castle before walking inside.
Just pushed open the door.
A woman with colorful ribbons, dignified and elegant, appeared in front of him.
She was a beautiful woman, with long brown-green hair, wearing a golden crown on her head. Her skin was slightly pale, and she was dressed in a classical white kimono, resembling a shrine maiden, exquisite and elegant.
Even though she was wearing a kimono that didn't accentuate her figure, her delicate and well-proportioned body was still quite eye-catching.
"So, you are the new contract holder?" Her voice was gentle and kind. "Welcome to Ryūchi Cave.
"I am Tagorihime. You must be tired. Would you like to take a rest?"
"This is the place where Ryūchi Cave entertains guests. As a contract holder, you should also have something to eat. We can talk slowly about anything you need..."
"Is that so?" Natsuo smiled. "I came here this time to witness the magic of Ryūchi Cave. Can Miss Tagorihime help me with that?"
"Of course, Ryūchi Cave is here to serve contract holders. It's only natural." Tagorihime smiled faintly. "Come, Mr. Contract Holder, have something to eat first. What do you need? I will arrange it for you..."
"Arrangements are fine, but there's no need to eat." Natsuo sighed lightly and calmly said: "You seem to be very confident in performing genjutsu in front of an Uchiha. Don't you think you are too confident?"
He revealed the windmill pattern in his eyes and stared coldly at his surroundings.
Yes, including the castle, everything is an illusion. This naturally includes the food that Tagorihime has been inviting Natsuo to eat.
"Hehehe... It seems that someone from that family is here. It looks like these little tricks are useless." Tagorihime smiled faintly.
The next second.
The huge castle turned into an illusion. The food gradually decayed and eventually turned into flying ashes. The brightly lit castle disappeared, revealing a barren land full of bones.
All of this was created by her. The illusionary technique of transformation.
This is Tagorihime's unique illusionary technique, which can transform an empty land into a castle of Ryūchi Cave, with plenty of food inside. This is used to entice people who come to train. As long as they eat the transformed food, she will devour her opponent's chakra.
This is also the test that Ryūchi Cave imposes on outsiders.
"But even if you eat it, I won't do anything." Tagorihime chuckled. "After all, unlike those who are being tested, you are the contract holder of Ryūchi Cave..."
"Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan doesn't seem to be very interesting."
"Having said that, Uchiha clan member, what are you here for?"
Tagorihime giggled, floating in the air. "If it's something small, I can help you."
It seems that Tagorihime completely ignored Natsuo's previous words.
Natsuo sighed softly. "I have two purposes for coming here. First, I want to witness the techniques of Ryūchi Cave, preferably with some documents or something for me to study."
"Oh, you want techniques?" Tagorihime chuckled lightly, flying in front of Natsuo, lips slightly pursed, with a hint of regret. "So, you are also a test taker. Unfortunately, you passed my test, so I can't devour your chakra..."
Tagorihime sighed lightly. "If you want techniques, continue forward. There is someone waiting for you ahead. If you pass the tests of the three of us consecutively, you can learn the techniques."
"What is your second purpose? I hope it is something more interesting than techniques."
Natsuo smiled faintly. "My second purpose is also simple. I heard that the three elders of Ryūchi Cave are all very beautiful. I want to know what conditions it takes for you to bear my child."
Upon hearing this, Tagorihime's expression froze.
She landed on the ground, facing Natsuo, her beautiful eyes calm and cold, looking at him.
"What did you just say? I didn't understand you. Can you say it again?"
Natsuo's smile remained. "Of course, I want you to have my child."
Tagorihime's expression changed drastically.
Her originally beautiful face suddenly lengthened, with some snake scale-like marks appearing under her eyes, revealing a long-forked tongue and fierce snake teeth in his mouth.
"Kid, if you pass my test, according to the rules, I should let you go."
"But do you know that disrespecting me like this requires you to pay with your life?"
"Do you dare say it again?"
Her voice was extremely cold, like the eternal ice that never melts, and waves of killing intent burst out from her.
Natsuo continued to smile, even sizing up Tagorihime.
In the end, he shook his head gently. "Can you change back? You don't look as good as before... I maybe can't function this way."
"I still prefer your previous gentle and lovely appearance. Can you please restore it?"
Yes, Natsuo came to Ryūchi Cave not just for Neji.
He wouldn't risk entering Ryūchi Cave for a man.
The real reason was that when he thought of Ryūchi Cave, Natsuo suddenly remembered that there seemed to be more than just shinobis as strong women in this world. Ryūchi Cave also had three unique 'women'.
Are they snakes? Hehe... Natsuo will demonstrate the greatness of the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha bloodline will run in all species!
