Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 170
Uehara didn’t care what Kisame thought. As a man behind the scenes, why care about his subordinates making complaints to him?
What Uehara paid more attention to was the actions of Konoha and Iwa.
News of the destruction of Kusagakure broke out after two days of brewing. Konoha and Iwa Ninjas were like wolves that smelled their prey, and they were frantically operating in the Land of Grass, trying to seize more territory.
After the middle ground, the Land of Grass was lost, the two superpowers, the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire, now directly shared a border, and war may break out at any time.
Even if the Third Tsuchikage Onoki and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade desperately contained the atmosphere of war, they still inevitably had to place ninja troops in the Land of Grass to get a share of their respective countries’ interest.
This situation was when the most suitable opportunity to sneak into Konoha came.
Village at the border of the Land of Earth.
Uehara sat in the most prosperous restaurant in this village and ordered a large number of dishes. He ate here slowly as if it was the last meal of his life.
After drinking the juice and having a full stomach, the restaurant owner came to collect the money with a nervous look.
Uehara held up three fingers and chuckled softly, “Don’t worry, someone will pay the bill in three seconds… Three, two, one!”
Uehara had long used his Destiny skills to observe everything around him, and the head of Orochimaru was walking towards the restaurant just in time to help him pay the bill.
After counting the numbers, Uehara turned to look at a man wearing a hat who walked inside the restaurant and shouted, “Hey, can you help me pay for this meal.”
“…”
Orochimaru, disguised as an ordinary person, cursed a few words in his heart, knowing that Uehara had recognized his identity, so he could only helplessly pull out a few banknotes.
After the two people gathered, their first destination was Ryuchi Cave.
Orochimaru planned to let Uehara meet the White Snake Sage. With this kid’s arrogant attitude, the White Snake Sage would surely kill this kid, and then Orochimaru naturally didn’t have to accompany Uehara to Konoha on an adventure.
Anyway, in Konoha’s Forbidden Room, Orochimaru would learn everything that should be learned.
Uehara also did not object.
“Orochimaru, it seems like you have confidence in the White Snake Sage!”
Of course, Uehara also saw through Orochimaru’s thoughts. He just chuckled and said, “Are you that confident that the White Snake Sage can kill me?”
Orochimaru was also tacitly aware of this, and with a mysterious smile, he said, “Naraku-kun wants to find a grave, so I would naturally do my best.”
The location of Ryuchi Cave was indeed a bit weird.
Uehara had to follow Orochimaru for a long time.
Two to three days later, they finally saw a weird, ruined temple.
Genjutsu covered this temple.
When Uehara and Orochimaru entered it, the system panel prompted Uehara about the discovery of the Ryuchi Cave, one of the three holy places.
[Side Mission: Find the location of Ryuchi Cave (1/1)]
[Reward: +1000 life energy, +1000 chakra energy, and +1000 natural energy.]
Among the three unknowable holy places in the Ninja World, Ryuchi Cave had always been the most mysterious, and many people were also curious about its location.
So generous rewards were normal.
After Uehara entered, he suddenly received a new reward.
[Side Mission: Enter the Ryuchi Cave (1/1)]
[Reward: +100% natural energy recovery rate.]
Uehara glanced at his natural energy recovery rate, which had become 12 points per second, which had exceeded his life energy recovery rate.
Kind of interesting.
It was indeed a treasure trove.
Merely signing and punching a card, the rewards have already made him very satisfied. After he defeated the White Snake Sage, what would he be rewarded with?
Uehara watched the small snakes on the ground circling them and then drilled into the cave one by one. These should be the animals on the periphery of Ryuchi Cave.
Orochimaru glanced at Uehara contemptuously, then smiled and said, “There is still time to regret it. After seeing the White Snake Sage in a while, you won’t have time!”
“Tsk…”
Uehara shook his head.
He would not shrink back.
If it was really as horrible as Orochimaru said, it was not a big deal because he could just teleport away here!
However, this Ryuchi Cave didn’t seem to have a specific length, and he saw another ruined temple after walking for a while!
Uehara slowly turned his head and looked at Orochimaru, “What’s the situation? Or are we in a genjutsu?”
“I am not sure as well.”
Orochimaru shook his head inexplicably.
It shouldn’t have been like this!
When he came last, he saw the White Snake Sage after entering the ruined temple, and it occasionally passed through the long Ryuchi Cave.
However, judging from the current situation, they seem to have come to the next level of the Ryuchi Cave. Did the White Snake Sage refuse to see them?
Orochimaru thought of this and softly explained, “The White Snake Sage probably thinks that Naraku-kun is not qualified to sign the contract, so he refuses to meet you…”
After speaking, Orochimaru gently shook his head and said, “The summoning contract qualification of the Holy Place is not so easy to obtain. Naraku-kun, let’s go back!”
“Are you serious?”
Uehara stared at Oshemaru tightly and raised his eyebrows, “This is what you promised me. If I don’t get the summoning contract of Ryuchi Cave, you will be in debt for this and will also pay very high interest!”
“…”
Orochimaru wanted to curse again.
The White Snake Sage in Ryuchi Cave doesn’t want to see you. They made it clear that they don’t want to sign a contract with you. Why are you bothering me?
Was it because he was easy to bully?
Damn it.
Even a rabbit bit when he was anxious!
Besides, he was originally a sinister and cruel snake!
Orochimaru’s body stiffened for a while, and he began to blame the White Snake Sage again. I brought someone here, so why didn’t you just come out and do it!
If Uehara was unqualified, the White Snake Sage could send a powerful snake to swallow this person. If the snake were a bit weak, Uehara would kill it easily, but you should express Ryuchi Cave’s attitude!
“Let’s go, let’s go deep underground!”
Uehara was not idle either but quietly turned on the Destiny skill and looked for the White Snake Sage. However, a huge White Snake’s head was close to him, but there was no snake here!
“Katon, Pyroclasm!”
Uehara waved his palm and summoned a torrent of fire, trying to destroy the weird and shabby temple in front of him. However, the fire just passed through the temple and turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.
“Unexpectedly, Naraku-kun is also good at fire ninjutsu!”
The corners of Orochimaru’s eyes solidified for a second. This was the first time he had seen such powerful fire ninjutsu, and even Jiraiya and Sarutobi might be inferior!
The fire ninjutsu in the ninja world maxed out at B-rank.
No one had ever seen fire ninjutsu at the forbidden technique level.
Even Jiraiya could only rely on the combination of fire, oil, and wind to make his fire ninjutsu’s power far superior to others.
“Let’s go!”
Uehara didn’t explain too much either.
Ryuchi Cave.
The temple in the depths.
A sturdy giant snake occupies the main temple, and a summoning contract scroll hangs above its head.
A group of thick and long snakes slithering on the floor.
A cloud of smoke floated above the temple’s main hall, showing the two people, Uehara and Orochimaru.
The White Snake Sage had been monitoring them.
“Why haven’t they left yet?”
The White Snake Sage slowly coiled up her body hesitantly, looking at Uehara displayed in the smoke.
“Obviously, there were other powerful natural energies in his body. Why did he come here? Is it for the summoning contract of Ryuchi Cave?”
That young ninja was a bit weird.
White Snake Sage was a little reluctant to see him.
Moreover, a Sage like him, who had been active for thousands of years, had long been able to infer unknown possibilities based on current events.
That young ninja was very dangerous.
It would be dangerous to meet him without sufficient preparations.
This was the keen intuition the White Snake Sage honed for thousands of years!
The White Snake Sage spat out her snake tongue and said coldly, “Orochimaru, what on earth do you want, bringing this kind of person here? Doesn’t he know the rules of the three holy places!”
