Escape From Konoha

Located at the junction of the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, it is a forest with dense branches and leaves. There are few people here, and there are often ferocious beasts, so even experienced hunters from villages near the forest will not come here to hunt on purpose.

On a piece of open land in the middle of the forest, Baishi was standing here and inspecting the surroundings. After making sure that no one was staring at him, he slowly started to form seals, and then quickly slapped his palms to the ground.

"Psychic art!"

With a sound, a thick white smoke passed by, and a slug the size of a human palm appeared on the ground. The surface of the body showed blue and white colors. The two antennae on his body moved slightly, as if they were adapting to the air with extremely thin natural energy concentration outside.

"It's been a while, live slug. Sorry to bother you at this time."

Shiraishi lowered his head and greeted the live slug with a chuckle.

"Well, yes, Master Shiraishi, we have indeed been gone for a while... summon me at this time, or summon such a small individual, do you have anything to ask me?"

The living slug seemed to have seen Baishi's mind, and asked directly.

If it's for fighting, it shouldn't just summon such a small individual.

With the strength of the celestial chakra that Shiraishi has mastered at this moment, at least half of his body can be psychic out when he goes all out to perform the psychic art.

For human beings, this is a very remarkable thing. After all, its body and energy have surpassed the common sense that humans can recognize.

If it were another human contractor, summoning one-tenth of its body would be the limit.

"I really can't hide anything from you." Baishi continued to smile, and not long after the smile on his face disappeared, he said, "I'm going to Longdi Cave next, but I don't know what to do. How to get there, I can only ask you to show me the way."

"Longdi Cave? In other words, has the cooperation agreement between Lord Baishi and Yuyin Village collapsed this time?"

Shiraishi is going to deal with Mount Miaomu, and the living slug knows about it.

Rather, when Baishi got the coordinates to Mount Miaomu from it, it expected this kind of thing to happen.

From its point of view, Mt. Miaomu's position did have some problems, and it suddenly changed the previous neutral behavior.

Based on its understanding of Baishi, knowing that Mount Miaomu was targeting him, he would definitely not sit still and wait for death, but would choose to take the initiative to attack.

Although it is a pity, the relationship between the Holy Land and the Holy Land is not particularly harmonious. Miaomushan has made a choice, so naturally he has to pay the due price for this choice. If the Great Toad Immortal really disappeared because of this, it would be nothing more than the loss of an old friend with whom he could communicate.

And this kind of old man has met countless people in the thousands of years of its existence. The Great Toad Immortal is not the first, nor will it be the last.

Its relationship with the Great Toad Immortal is said to be a friend but seems strange; said it is a stranger, but it seems to have some insignificant friendship.

"Yes, the other party is very cautious. Therefore, the only choice left for me now is Ryuji Cave."

Shiraishi nodded without hiding anything.

If Nagato didn't refuse, he didn't want to go this far either. But in order to deal with Mount Miaomu and attract a strong support, this is a necessary preparation. If only the Ghost Country family were to deal with Miaomushan, the risk would be too great.

"Are we going to reach this point in the end? Compared with cooperating with humans, I don't recommend Master Baishi to go to Ryudi Cave to find the White Snake Immortal."

The living beetle said softly.

She remained neutral towards the Great Toad Immortal, but when it came to the White Snake Immortal, her tone revealed some dissatisfaction, or disgust.

"What, is there a festival between you and the White Snake Immortal?"

Shiraishi asked.

"It's not a festival. It's just that we, as the leaders of the three generations of the Holy Land, have had wars more than once. But it is said to be a war, but in essence it was provoked by the White Snake Immortal and had to fight. The one we are in In the 1980s, there were very few creatures that could use Chakra, let alone use fairy arts freely. Therefore, Hama Wan and I, who were based in the field of fairy arts, were missed by the White Snake Immortal."

When the living beetle recounted the past, his tone still revealed a hint of unhappiness.

Obviously those days were not very wonderful for him.

"In order to compete for the so-called title of strongest, Immortal White Snake challenged Hamo Wan and me. But I felt that this kind of thing was too troublesome, and the fight would definitely be endless, so I chose to hide from the world and rejected this challenge. "

Shiraishi nodded slightly.

The abilities of the living dragon are basically based on medical magic. Just like him, he is not very good at fighting.

Moreover, with his indifferent nature, it was expected that he would refuse the challenge from the White Snake Immortal.

But his intuition told him that this matter was not over yet.

If the immortal's obsession arises, it will be more terrifying than that of a human being.

In particular, this kind of creature beyond common sense not only has more energy than a single tailed beast, but can also use various fairy arts. If it fights, it is enough to describe it as a catastrophe.

"Because of refusing the challenge, the White Snake Immortal felt that his self-esteem was insulted, so he sent his subordinates to harass the wet bone forest where I live, and let them spray corrosive poison everywhere in the wet bone forest, polluting the wet bone forest, Afterwards, it took me a lot of effort to reawaken the vitality of the earth... In order to prevent this from happening again, I had no choice but to agree to the challenge of the White Snake Immortal."

"What was the result? Which of you two won?"

"In that battle, neither of us could do anything to the other. Although Immortal White Snake's celestial arts were very strong, my endurance was even better, so it ended in a draw."

The living slug recalled the past, as if it was vivid in his mind.

"Then what happened later? Did Immortal White Snake just give up?"

"Of course not, it's just that it never challenged me to fight again. Because I heard that after challenging me, it also challenged Hamowan, but it was slightly inferior in strength and was defeated by Hamawan. It seems to be unwilling. After the first failure, it challenged Hama Wan again and again several times, but it is said that every time it was a bad move... After that, I have never heard of it News of his birth. However, the relationship between Miaomu Mountain and Ryūchi Cave also deteriorated, and in the following years, many wars broke out."

"I didn't expect Miaomu Mountain and Ryūchi Cave to become enemies in this way."

Shiraishi sighed in an unexpected tone.

"Yes, but I am not surprised that this happened. Among the three of us, the White Snake Immortal is the one who is most obsessed with power. Therefore, it cannot tolerate the existence of the two "failures" in its life. Words. Once you are obsessed with them, it will be very troublesome."

Although as a fairy, the white snake fairy is not as complicated and diverse as human beings in the pursuit of desires, but as a fairy, it is not without desires and desires—strength and victory are the paths it pursues.

It would be fine if the White Snake Immortal won the battle with the Big Toad Immortal, but once it tastes the taste of defeat, it will easily arouse its endless desire to win. As long as it doesn't defeat the old enemy of the Great Toad Immortal for a day, then the desire to win in its heart will not be eliminated for a day, but will become more extreme as time goes by.

Bai Shi felt slightly happy after learning this important information.

Because only such immortals with strong desires can win over.

Although he has not yet met the White Snake Immortal, Huo Li's words undoubtedly increased Baishi's inner confidence in persuading the White Snake Immortal.

"If Master Shiraishi wants to go to Longdi Cave, he must be careful. Human beings who have visited Longdi Cave have basically never returned. For the psychic beasts there, human beings are both contractors and blood eaters."

The living beetle continued to tell the story about Longdi Cave.

In its view, only humans who are extremely thirsty for power will seek the contract of Longdi Cave.

It is by no means a good place for humans.

"Don't worry. Although I'm not good at fighting, I still have a little confidence in self-protection."

"As long as Mr. Shiraishi is aware of it, then let me lead the way..."

Before the beast finished speaking, the sound of people walking could be heard from the bushes nearby.

The figure walking out of the bushes was none other than Liuli. As soon as she came over, she asked Baishi:

"Why did you call me here specifically? Have you reached an agreement with Yuyin Village?"

Shiraishi turned around, spread his hands helplessly and said, "The talks have broken down. Nagato has more concerns than we do, so it's a bit unrealistic for him to agree."

"Then the current situation is..."

Liuli looked at the live dragon next to Baishi.

"Adopt the alternative plan and pull Longdi Cave into the game."

Shiraishi replied.

"That means we are going to Ryūchi Cave now, right?"

"Well, but it's not such a simple matter to convince the White Snake Immortal. There may be a battle at that time, so I want you to go there with me, so it's safer."

"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to experience the magic of Longdi Cave."

Liuli readily agreed.

Shiraishi knelt down and placed the palm-sized live snake clone on his shoulder.

"Living beast, you will show the way next."

◎

One day later.

According to the directions given by Huoli, Baishi and Liuli finally arrived at the border area of ​​Longdi Cave.

Although it is a border area, the land here is undoubtedly governed by the snakes in Longdi Cave.

In the white mist, dark rocky mountains and huge dead trees eaten by insects and ants can be seen everywhere. The scenery is desolate, like a barren land that brings death and despair.

The environment here is even harsher than the desert in the Kingdom of Wind.

The bones of humans, beasts, and snakes are half exposed from the soil and half covered by the soil.

Snakes of various colors wriggled and climbed on these white bones, spit out their tongues and hissed to the white stone and glass walking along the road to the core area of ​​Longdi Cave, as if to warn them.

However, the terrifying aura captured on Baishi and Liuli, and the surrounding snakes relied on their own sense of danger, so they didn't step forward to stop them, but warned them to leave here with their voices.

Shiraishi and Liuli ignored the warnings of the snakes and headed straight towards the center of Ryūchi Cave without stopping.

At this moment, the living slug on Baishi's shoulder suddenly said: "Well, Master Baishi, you will almost reach the entrance to the core area of ​​Longdi Cave. The Immortal White Snake lives in the largest temple, walk straight You can see it. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Won't you go in with us?"

Shiraishi was slightly surprised.

"No, I don't want to be entangled with it again, and it's best not to say that you are my contractor, please."

After saying that, the living beetle seemed to be fleeing, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing from Shiraishi's shoulder.

It was the first time for Shiraishi to see the live slug so flustered. In his impression, the live slug always had an attitude of ease no matter who or what he faced. However, when facing the White Snake Immortal, this easy-going attitude collapsed in an instant, and Baishi had to sigh that this White Snake Immortal might be even more difficult to deal with than imagined.

However, Baishi didn't care about this. Since he came to Longdi Cave, he never thought that he could simply convince the White Snake Immortal.

Next, Baishi and Liuli continued walking towards the core area of ​​Ryudi Cave.

The deeper you go, the more desolate the surrounding environment is, and the small snakes gradually disappear. Occasionally, there will be huge black shadows passing through the thick white mist on the side, revealing lantern-sized glowing eyes, faintly visible, that is A pied boa constrictor.

Baishi and Liuli were expressionless, turning a blind eye to these giant snakes hiding in the mist, but still walking forward according to their own rhythm.

Their behavior obviously irritated some big snakes in the mist.

Without any warning, a huge snake head broke through the blockage of the fog, and tore open its bloody mouth at Baishi and Liuli who were walking forward, letting out a terrifying roar.

Its sound also aroused the viciousness of the other big snakes. It seemed that in response to this call, more snake heads rushed out of the mist, curled up their sturdy bodies that were thicker than buckets, and entangled the two people on the road overwhelmingly.

The front, rear, left, and right were blocked by huge snakes, and even the ground began to crack, rumbling and vibrating, as if some ancient beast surged its body underground, launching a fatal blow.

Faced with such a shocking turn of events, Baishi and Liuli remained expressionless.

"A boring temptation."

Liuli stopped and uttered this sentence softly.

Her originally black and white pupils suddenly turned a layer of blood, revealing three dark magatama.

boom!

Without any warning, the dark red sword light slashed across the void.

The surging thunder and lightning immediately roared out from the sword blade, dyeing the surrounding space into a pale and void color.

Countless big snakes were swept away like dust, and their solid bodies could not give them the slightest sense of security. They were powerless to fly to the distance, and after falling heavily to the ground, they screamed in pain.

As if sensing the absolute power gap between the two sides, the big snakes got into the mist one after another and disappeared without a trace, not daring to stay in the slightest.

Such an exaggerated escape gesture was even more powerful than the attack just now.

Although there was not a single snake corpse on the ground, the stench of hot blood stained the surrounding ground red. It can be seen that the group of large snakes who fled were definitely not clearly injured.

The terrifying power on Liuli's body also disappeared completely like a phantom after the instant attack, just like the group of escaping snakes.

If he hadn't felt the powerful chakra flashing from her body, he would have thought that the powerful force that defeated the group of snakes was an attack released by someone else.

The shaking feeling under the ground also disappeared. Although he did not see the specific mood of the big snake underground, Baishi's mind had already sketched the pitiful appearance of the other party motionless and trembling underground.

With Liuli's intimidation, the next journey will be smooth, and no big snake with no eyes will come up to attack.

Although they are all big snakes, there are also hierarchies between big snakes and big snakes.

Abandoned outside Longdi Cave, they are undoubtedly existences like miscellaneous soldiers.

I don’t know how long he walked, but Bai Shi stopped in an open space, raised his head slightly, and looked at the empty land in front of him.

"This is it."

Shiraishi turned to look at Liuli.

Liuli nodded, quickly injected a burst of celestial chakra into his three magatama sharingan eyes, and stared ahead.

"untie!"

Buzz.

The surrounding fog rolled and surged like a tsunami, and the space began to distort, as if something was being pulled out from another space.

Finally, the space stabilized, and a huge temple like a giant city appeared in front of us without warning.

Above the temple gate, there is a huge plaque with the words "Longdi Cave" written on it. On the plaque, a huge white phosphorus snake is carved, wrapping the three words "Longdi Cave".

Shiraishi stared at the golden vertical pupils of the white phosphorus snake. For a moment, a trance appeared in his eyes, creating the illusion that the stone white phosphorus snake seemed like a living creature, rather than a cold sculpture.

"Welcome both of you to Ryūchi Cave."

The clear and sweet girl's voice brought Shiraishi back to reality.

Shiraishi's eyes moved away from the door plaque engraved with 'Ryuji Cave' and turned to the entrance of the temple.

I saw a young girl in white clothes standing at the gate, with a golden crown on her head, and a white silk ribbon like a feather coat floating lightly around the girl's body, matching her delicate and lovely facial features , filling her whole body with an ethereal and dust-free fairy spirit, just like the goddess in ancient legends.

"My name is Ichikijima, and I am one of the gatekeepers of Ryūchi Cave. Are you two here to meet the White Snake Immortal?"

The girl named Ichikishima Hime squinted her eyes and showed a sweet smile. Both her etiquette and her smile were impeccable.

As if a beat behind, Bai Shi was stunned for a few seconds after the other party asked, before nodding his head and answering: "Yes, we have something to visit Immortal White Snake. If possible, can you take us to meet that Immortal?"

"Of course, since the two of you have successfully repelled the snakes outside, and have broken through the illusion between illusion and reality, and found the Longdi Cave Temple, you are naturally qualified to meet the White Snake Immortal. Then, please come with me. "

Ichikishimahime smiled at Shiraishi, then turned around and flew towards the inside of the temple.

Flying, yes, flying.

This girl from the Ryuji Cave named Ichikishima Hime has had her feet suspended in the void from the very beginning, using her magic to fly in the void.

After walking forward for a few minutes with Ichikishimahime, the group stopped in a courtyard.

I saw Ichikijima Hime, who was suspended in mid-air, landed from the sky, with Bai Nen's feet stepping on the cold ground, and smiled at Baishi and Liuli: "Then, now, please enter the guest room and wait for a while." Wait. Immortal White Snake is taking a nap now. After dinner, I will take you two to see Immortal White Snake."

"Then excuse me."

Shiraishi looked at Liuli and asked her what she meant.

"It's already here, and it won't be long now. That's it for the time being."

Liuli nodded, and then walked into the room under the smiling eyes of Ichikishima Hime.

Seeing Liuli enter the room, Baishi was about to walk into the room, when suddenly, a pair of jade arms wrapped around his body from behind, bringing bursts of seductive fragrance.

Ichikishimahime, who was originally standing next to him, has long since disappeared and appears behind Shiraishi, hugging Shiraishi's body from behind with his arms.

"Um... Miss Immortal, what are you trying to do?"

Shiraishi squinted his eyes back and could see the white feather floating behind him.

"This guest, your guest room is on the other side."

Ichikishimahime's sweet voice sounded from behind.

"Really? If that's the case, then there's no need to pester me like this."

"That's because the guest is so charming and has such a strong body. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it to do something happy?"

Ichikishimahime's white and tender fingers began to move upward, and her gentle words seemed to melt a person's bones.

"Happy things?"

"Yeah, I've been here for hundreds of years, and I'm almost dying of loneliness. How about it, guest, do you want to come and nourish this empty and dry body?"

"But, this is a courtyard..."

"It doesn't matter. Look, isn't it more exciting here? So, guests, don't worry so much and let me serve you well."

Warm breath blew on Shiraishi's ears, and Ichikishimahime's soft and quiet voice seemed to be whispering in his ears from afar, with the ultimate charm.

A pair of white and tender little hands have already touched Baishi's face, stroking with utmost comfort, as if comforting something very dear to him, so careful and gentle.

Then, these gentle and white hands began to move down, touching Bai Shi's neck, and then pulled open the collar, intending to reach into Bai Shi's collar.

Suddenly, Shiraishi grabbed the hands that were about to reach into his collar.

"guest?"

Ichikishimahime's confused voice came from behind.

"Although this kind of illusion is not bad, let's stop the fun, Miss Immortal."

Shiraishi grabbed Ichikishimahime's little hand and squeezed it hard.

Ichikishima Hime's whole body turned into a puff of black smoke, and turned into a white ribbon, which appeared in Shiraishi's hands. It was the white feather robe on Ichikishima Hime.

This white feather coat is also wrapped around Shiraishi's neck. If it is not stopped in time, sooner or later, his neck will be strangled and he will suffocate to death.

"Oh, this guest is really amazing. Over the years, there are very few people who can unravel my illusion. People are really more and more satisfied with you."

Floating in mid-air, Ichikishima Hime, who hadn't moved a step from the beginning, still smiled innocently and harmlessly at Shiraishi, as if she wasn't the one who was going to strangle Shiraishi with her feather robe just now.

"No need, I'm a family man."

"What's so good about that kind of cold woman? You can't understand the mood at first sight."

Ichikishima-hime touched her face with both hands, lying in the void, swaying her feet like a little girl, giggling.

"Really? However, I feel that Miss Xianren is very innocent. If I don't use the illusion to replace myself with the feathers on my body, but use the real body, I may not be able to solve the illusion."

Shiraishi started to comment.

Hearing these words, Ichikishimahime's sweet smile suddenly froze, and then she glared at Shiraishi, her face turned slightly red, and her eyes showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Forget it, stop playing, hand over all the senjutsu chakra in your body!"

Ichikijima Hime knew that relying on illusion, there was no way to get rid of Shiraishi, so she decided to do it herself, and turned Shiraishi's powerful fairy chakra into her own.

She straightened her body in the void, clasped her hands together, and began to mobilize the magic chakra in her body. A dangerous aura emerged from all around her body, rushing toward Bai Shi overwhelmingly.

"After all, I am also one of the elders of Ryūchi Cave. Before I absorb your extremely pure magical chakra, don't die easily, human!"

Saying that, Ichikijima Hime was about to hit Shiraishi with the celestial arts gathered in her hand.

boom!

A dark red sword light flashed across, cutting between Shiraishi and Shikijima Hime.

A gust of wind blew up, and the surrounding courtyard walls and houses were all wiped out in an instant, turning into dust and blowing into the distance.

Ichikijima Hime hurriedly interrupted the casting of the celestial art and flew towards the sky to avoid being involved in the sudden attack.

Thick smoke billowed on the ground, and the original magnificent courtyard had long since disappeared and turned into a ruin.

The rolling dust dissipated, and a huge warrior made of chakra was seen standing on the ruins. The huge warrior held a dark red sword in his hand, which was wrapped with a thunder light full of destruction.

The sword light that wiped out the courtyard just now was the giant sword swung out.

Ichikijima Hime took a deep breath, and looked at the huge samurai who appeared in front of her in shock, showing disbelief.

"Su, Susano! This woman..."

Ichikijima Hime looked at the feet of the huge samurai, and saw two women in white clothes like her lying beside her.

The two women were both unconscious and bruised, apparently seriously injured.

"Tian Xin Shen Ji, Rui Jin Ji!"

Shi Kujima Hime called the names of the two elders of Longdi Cave, and couldn't believe that the two elders who were at the same level as her were defeated by Liuli so quickly.

"Damn it, even Susano, he shouldn't have defeated the two of them so quickly... What's the problem?"

She originally thought about sucking up the chakra of the two humans who visited Ryūchi Cave and having a good meal, but what happened now directly gave up her wishful thinking.

These two humans are different from those who came to Longdi Cave in the past. They are not harmless sheep, but more ferocious beasts than them!

Miscalculation!

Just as Ichikishima Hime was considering retreating, the giant samurai turned his eyes and noticed Ichikishima Hime flying in the air.

"Well……"

The powerful mental power impacted her brain, and Ichikijima Hime had a look of fear on her face. She subconsciously held her head in her hands, squatted in the void, and gave up thinking, as if doing so would make her feel a little safer.

However, in the face of Ichikijima Hime's deceiving protection, the huge samurai didn't care, and raised the dark red giant sword in his hand above his head.

Then, cut off without mercy.

Swing a destructive thunder that destroys everything, rushing towards Ichikijima Hime's body.

Click!

The ground cracked.

A huge shadow rushed to the sky, blocked in front of Ichikijima Hime, and blocked the huge samurai's giant sword instead of her.

Boom!

The atmosphere exploded.

The burst of air turbulence directly blows Ichikishima Hime's petite body away, and hits the ground heavily, creating a huge pothole.

Although she was knocked down, this degree of injury was nothing more than a skin trauma to Hime Ichikijima.

After hundreds of years of tempering by the celestial chakra, her body dare not say that King Kong is not bad, but at least ordinary attacks cannot cause any effective damage to her.

However, even if she was not seriously injured in the attack just now, Shiraishi and Liuli did not pay attention to her, but fixed their eyes on something blocking the giant sword's attack.

It was a white phosphorous snake tail, smooth and bright, reflecting a metal-like luster under the light of the lightning on the giant sword.

Even if it collided with the chakra giant sword that was shining with lightning, there was not a single trace on it.

Liuli frowned, obviously feeling troubled.

Except for Madara's Susano, this was the first time she saw someone who could block her Susano without a hair.

"White Snake Immortal!"

Ichikishimahime cried out.

She didn't expect that just ambushing two humans would wake up the sleeping Immortal White Snake.

"Okay, human beings, although Ichikishima Hime and the others are wrong about this matter, the anger in your hearts should be vented enough now. Aren't you looking for me for something? Come here now, Ichikishima Hime, come and give me They lead the way.”

The old voice spread in the void, the sound source came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell which direction it came from.

After saying these words, the white phosphorous snake tail retracted into the cracked earth, leaving only a bottomless black hole.

But the ubiquitous aftermath diffused in the air lasts for a long time.
