Deep in Ryūchi Cave, in front of the grand temple.
"Cough Cough" Tagorihime knelt on the bluestone ground, the panic on her face had not faded, she rubbed her red neck with both hands, and her white dress was stained with dust.
Kamihane glanced at her lightly, ignored her, and turned to Orochimaru and said, "So, you have passed the test?"
"Yes, teacher." Orochimaru nodded, his eyes calm, "To be honest, the difficulty of these three levels is not as great as I imagined."
At this time, an old-fashioned voice came from the temple:
"This shows that you are born suitable for the inheritance of Ryūchi Cave..."
The voice seemed to come from an old woman, with a heavy accent, and although it was low, it was exceptionally loud, and the air in the entire temple was slightly vibrating.
Kamihane smiled slightly, took Orochimaru across the stone steps, pushed open the temple door directly, and entered the temple.
Tagorihime sniffed, stood up on her own, and a breeze flowed behind her, and two white figures quietly emerged, which were Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime.
"So embarrassed, didn't White Snake Sage tell you not to attack him?" Little Lori Ichikishimahime put her hands on her hips leisurely, with a gloating expression, "You really don't have a long memory."
Tagorihime glared at her angrily and defended in a low voice: "I was just curious and wanted to test his strength..."
"If you try it, you will die." Ichikishimahime floated past Tagorihime and reached out to play with the ribbons on her back, "But you are really lucky. I almost thought you were going to die today."
Just now, Tagorihime used Sage Art to merge with nature, so as to restrain all her breath and completely hide in the mist, and launched a simultaneous attack on Kamihane and Orochimaru with one divided into two.
Orochimaru was hit without accident, but Kamihane's reaction was terrifyingly fast!
Not only did he instantly see through Tagorihime's sneak attack, but while dodging sideways, a big hand turned into an afterimage that was difficult to see with the naked eye and tightly clamped her neck.
At that moment, Tagorihime only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the Sage Art chakra all over her body was stagnant, as if she was a prisoner put on a noose and executed, unable to lift any resistance, and could only watch the darkness devour herself.
The terrifying sense of oppression was like Mount Tai descending, but this was only with pure physical brute force. She felt that she was facing not a human, but a bottomless abyss!
Fortunately, Kamihane just gave a warning and let go, and didn't really kill.
Otherwise, her Taoism, which she had cultivated for 400 years, would be completely lost today.
"Curiosity, will kill the snake," Tagitsuhime covered her face with her sleeves and looked solemn.
Ichikishimahime tilted her head, looked inward through the half-closed temple door, and narrowed her eyes, "It seems that Shinza brought back an amazing person."
…
Kamihane took the lead to step into the inner hall. What appeared in front of him was a wide and long staircase. The steps were covered with a scarlet carpet, and under the faint light, a strange color flowed between blood and roses.
He looked up slightly, and at the end of his vision, the outline of a huge seat was faintly revealed. On the dragon head stone carving at the top, a crimson scroll with the three characters "Ryūchi Cave" was held.
In the perception, the most powerful soul body in the entire Ryūchi Cave was coiled on the seat at the highest point, and its breath was so strong that it was not inferior to Nine Tails at all.
Orochimaru looked around, and his sleeves suddenly vibrated. He reached out and touched them. They were the small snakes he usually kept. When he walked into the range of the inner hall, they actually began to tremble.
There was a rare trace of awe in his eyes.
"Follow up."
Kamihane said lightly, carrying one hand on his back, and disappeared in place the moment he stepped.
He didn't climb the steps in a proper manner. His figure turned into an afterimage, and he easily reached the top in just a few flashes.
"You are... White Snake Sage?"
He looked at the huge white scaled snake on the seat and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The snake in front of him almost occupied all of his vision. The huge body was quite lazy coiled on the seat. The white scales were neat, the vertical pupils were senran, and under the gray canvas hat was a waterfall-like orange hair. Although it was a snake body, it had a slender pipe the size of a telephone pole in its mouth.
"Uchiha Kamihane, you..." White Snake Sage said leisurely, and the entire hall echoed with a twilight voice, "You have a very good pair of eyes."
"You know me?" Kamihane asked with a smile.
"I have heard of you for a long time," White Snake Sage said in a long voice, "In our long life, your human history is just a drop in the ocean. Throughout ancient and modern times, there are not many people who can enter my eyes. No matter how amazing they are, they are just flashes in the pan."
"Some time ago, two good newcomers came out, one named Uchiha Madara and the other named Senju Hashirama. On their bodies, I can smell a very strong taste of old friends."
Speaking of this, White Snake Sage turned his head slightly, and his golden lamp-like pupils stared at Kamihane, "And the two of them have a lot to do with you, one is your guide, and the other died indirectly in your hands. You say... should I remember your name?"
Kamihane was quite surprised and said softly, "I really didn't expect that a reclusive existence like you would know my affairs?"
"Giggle..." White Snake Sage made a chilling laugh, long and harsh, "I am a sage, and my snake sons and grandchildren are all over the ninja world. What happens in this world will be passed to my ears."
Kamihane's heart moved, and he inexplicably thought of Cat House, "I have a psychic beast named..."
"Cat Boki..." White Snake Sage smiled slightly, and a huge amount of thick smoke floated from the pipe, "A greedy junior, as the only ninja cat in the Cat House who has mastered Sage Art, it is not easy to live to this era."
A trace of understanding flashed in Kamihane's eyes. These ninja beasts who have mastered Sage Art really know each other's details.
Suddenly, he captured a key point: "Boki has lived for a long time?"
White Snake Sage said: "It has been more than 600 years since its fame rose."
"It... is so old?" Kamihane widened his eyes slightly, it was hard to imagine that this blue cat, who was quite unreliable and didn't look very serious, had lived for more than 600 years.
"There is nothing strange about this," White Snake Sage said lightly: "The lifespan of beasts is weaker than that of humans. The lifespan of ordinary ninja beasts is equal to that of humans, but ninja beasts who have mastered Sage Art can live for many years."
"Cultivating Sage Art can prolong life?"
Kamihane raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this old antique also possessed a lot of information that he didn't know.
During the conversation, Orochimaru finally ran up and stood obediently behind Kamihane.
