Chapter 223: The Snake Princess of Longdi Cave (Part 3, Part 4)
Night falls.
Aburame Shiki and others have left Otogakure Village and arrived at a forest somewhere in the hinterland of the Fire Country.
Uchiha Sasuke set up four tents.
One each for Aburame Shiki, Tsunade and Orochimaru.
Matt Kai, Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke share one.
After dinner, Aburame Shiki called Orochimaru away.
The two men came to the river not far from the camp.
"Orochimaru, can you summon the three top brass of Ryūchi Cave?"
Aburame Shiki asked directly.
He wanted to use the snake control Gu.
The White Snake Immortal cannot control it, and the other snakes are of average strength and cannot yet transform.
The only suitable targets are the three high-ranking officials, namely the three Snake Princesses, Tianjin Kamime, Ichikishimahime and Tsunjinhime.
"It's hard."
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "The three top leaders have high status and will not accept the call of the contractor."
"What is the solution?"
Aburame Shiki has indeed never seen the Three Great Snake Girls being summoned in the original work.
"Go to Longdi Cave to meet them."
Orochimaru thought for a moment and said.
"Will I be discovered by the White Snake Immortal?"
Aburame Zhihui frowned slightly and asked.
"Won't."
Orochimaru explained, "White Snake Immortal lives in a temple deep in Ryūchi Cave, and it is difficult for even contractors to see him."
Aburame Shiki fell into thought.
Let Orochimaru go to Ryūchi Cave alone with the Snake Control Gu?
But can he defeat the three great snake ladies?
If you fail, you will lose more than you gain.
The best way is for him to follow.
But to go to Longdi Cave, you must either find the entrance or pass the counter-spiritual technique.
Finding the entrance takes time.
The art of counter-spirituality means that Shiki Aburame will become a contractor of Ryūchi Cave.
Of course he doesn't want to.
Then the goal can be achieved through a curve.
"Orochimaru, you sign a contract to become a contractor of the Shigebone Forest, and then go to Ryūchi Cave."
Aburame Shiki said, "When we get here, you summon the slug, and then let it summon me."
To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter even if he is discovered.
If you can't defeat the White Snake Immortal, can you still not run away?
And Ryuji Cave dared to come out and attack Konoha Village?
When the time comes, he takes Shigu Forest and Jiraiya takes Miaomu Mountain. Can Konoha Village still be destroyed?
"yes."
Orochimaru agreed without hesitation.
Aburame Zhihui bit her thumb and slapped it on the ground.
Bang.
A slug the size of a fist appears.
"Master Slug, I have something to trouble you with."
Shiki Aburame repeated his thoughts.
"Lord Zhihui."
Slug hesitated and said, "If White Snake notices you, your life may be in danger."
"It's not a big problem."
Aburame Shiki said with a smile, "I just need to hold on under it until you use the counter-psychic technique."
"Well."
Slug said in a gentle tone, "When push comes to shove, White Snake will be left to me to deal with."
Although the three immortals have different abilities, their strength is similar, and no one can do anything to the other.
"Thank you, Lord Slug."
Aburame Shiki said seriously.
Compared to the Big Toad Immortal and the White Snake Immortal, the Slug Immortal is very pure and has a sense of conscientiousness.
This is an excellent psychic beast.
Slug took out the psychic scroll.
After Orochimaru signed his name, he officially became a contractor of Shigulin.
Soon, his body disappeared.
He was summoned to Ryūchi Cave.
Ten seconds later, the slug also turned into a burst of smoke.
Aburame Zhihui waited for a moment and then felt the call from somewhere.
After he agreed, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
From the dense forest to the cold cave.
"Go see Ichikishima-hime."
Aburame Shiki has determined her target.
The three great snake girls have the same abilities, such as floating and invisibility, but also have different abilities.
Ichikishima Hime is absorbed.
Tian Xin Shen Ji is an illusion.
Turbulence Princess is bound.
"follow me."
Orochimaru looked around, looking for a passage.
A few minutes later, a large underground castle suddenly opened up before our eyes.
Orochimaru walked up and knocked on the door.
The door was opened and Ichikishimahime came out.
This is a loli who looks like a polished girl, but is actually a murderous thousand-year-old monster.
She wears a white gown and a golden crown.
Long dark blue hair, golden vertical pupils, and red eye shadow.
She has snow-white skin and blue earrings on her ears.
"Lady Ichikishima Hime, I would like to ask you a favor."
Orochimaru pointed at Aburame Shiki and said, "This is the sacrifice I brought to you."
If a ninja who enters Ryūchi Cave to practice fails, he will be eaten by the three great snake girls.
Aburame Shiki looked blank and pretended to be under an illusion.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the White Snake Immortal, he planned to outwit him.
"One sacrifice is not enough."
Ichikishimahime opened her mouth, revealing sharp teeth and a slender tongue far beyond that of a human.
At the end of the tongue, there are also bifurcations.
"He is the contractor of Shigu Forest."
Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "One can hold up to ten."
"oh?"
Ichikishimahime suddenly became interested.
Her body rose up without any wind and floated to Aburame Zhihui's head before stopping.
"I'll taste it first."
The corners of Ikishimahime's mouth spread to both sides, revealing sharp teeth up and down.
She bit Shiki Aburame.
At this moment, a black light suddenly flew into her mouth.
"What did you feed me?"
Ichikishimahime swallowed it subconsciously.
She discovered the problem, and her cute little face turned ferocious.
But soon, her body trembled.
She looked at Aburame Shiki, surrender rising in her heart.
"Ichikishima-hime pays homage to the master."
Ichikishimahime's expression returned, she was very respectful, she knelt on her knees, her forehead pressed against the ground, and said.
"I will summon you tomorrow, and you try not to let Longdi Cave notice any abnormalities."
Aburame Shiki looked at Ichikishimahime lying on the ground and secretly thought that it was really the habit of a snake.
"Yes, Master."
Ichikishimahime was still in awe.
"Let's go back."
Aburame Shiki looked at Slug.
Orochimaru didn't react much because of the slave Gu.
But Slug looked very shocked.
This is one of the three high-level people in Longdi Cave.
Ichikishimahime has the ability to transform.
Strictly speaking, she is no longer a psychic beast, more like a monster or a future immortal.
But was he so easily subdued by Aburame Shiki?
It was simply terrifying.
[Achieve the achievement of 'Hero of the Grass' and receive the reward Earth Corpse Gu. 】
[Di Kui Corpse Gu: Level 5 Gu, transformation path. After use, it transforms into Di Kui Corpse, one of the six flying zombies. 】
What the hell?
Aburame Zhihui's expression suddenly froze.
hero of the bush?
I haven't done anything.
System, you are simply slandering!
Although the reward was not bad, it still couldn't suppress Aburame Zhihui's desire to complain.
Smoke rises.
Aburame Shiki and Orochimaru returned to the river.
"I'm sorry to trouble you today, Lord Slug."
After expressing her gratitude to the slug, Aburame Shiki released the psychic spell.
Orochimaru returned to his tent.
Aburame Shiki originally wanted to go back to the tent prepared for him, but he stopped in front of Tsunade's tent.
"come in."
When he hesitated, Tsunade's voice sounded.
Shiki Aburame immediately walked into the tent.
"What are you doing outside?"
Tsunade was lying in her sleeping bag, with only her head exposed.
"I was wondering if the teacher would like a midnight snack."
Aburame Zhihui coughed slightly and said.
"lie."
Tsunade exposed him mercilessly.
"All right."
Aburame Shiki said with a smile, "I just want to stay with the teacher."
"..."
Tsunade's heart trembled and she looked away. After a long time, she said, "It's too late, go to bed."
"OK!"
Aburame Zhihui suddenly became excited.
He took out his sleeping bag and lay down next to Tsunade.
The tent fell silent.
Tsunade listened to Aburame Shiki's gentle breathing.
This kid really doesn't miss any opportunity.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she turned around and faced Aburame Zhihui.
There is a hazy light on a summer night.
She could clearly see Aburame Shiki's face.
It's quite beautiful when it's quiet.
The corners of Tsunade's mouth curled up slightly, and then she closed her eyes.
A night of silence.
early morning.
The sun shines down from among the branches.
The tent grew brighter.
Tsunade opened her eyes and saw Shiki Aburame sizing her up.
She was startled slightly, and gradually regained consciousness.
"Watch what I do?"
Tsunade asked as she opened her sleeping bag and sat up.
"Because it's beautiful."
Aburame Shiki replied.
"Glib tongue."
Tsunade glared at him and said, "Get out quickly before anyone finds you."
"Teacher, don't you think this is like stealing..."
Before Aburame Shiki could say the words of love, Tsunade raised her jade foot and kicked him.
He grabbed her feet with both hands and scratched her soles twice in retaliation.
"Let's go!"
Tsunade's body trembled and she quickly retracted her foot.
"yes."
Aburame Shiki left with a smile.
After breakfast, the group continued on the road.
At noon, we finally arrived at Konoha Village.
Aburame Shiki took Orochimaru to the Hokage Building.
Tsunade and the others disbanded on the spot and did whatever they had to do.
Arriving at the Hokage Building, Orochimaru's appearance caused a sensation.
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Aburame Shihui.
Orochimaru followed the Hokage so honestly, it is self-evident what happened.
At this moment, Aburame Shiki's reputation could be said to have reached its peak.
"Orochimaru?!"
Shizune was so frightened when she saw Aburame Shiki and Orochimaru walking into the Hokage's office.
But soon, she discovered a problem.
She just thought it was Orochimaru who held Aburame Shiki hostage, but the situation was obviously the other way around.
"Orochimaru was poisoned by me."
Aburame Shiki sat on the Hokage's chair and said casually, "He is under my control now, you don't have to worry."
"It's actually true?"
Shizune said with a look of disbelief.
"Of course it's true."
Aburame Shiki said with a smile, "Orochimaru, you are not allowed to hurt anyone in Konoha Village."
"yes."
Orochimaru replied respectfully.
"It's just..."
Shizune opened her mouth, not knowing how to describe it.
As a ninja of Konoha Village, I grew up listening to the stories of the Sannin.
Especially since she has followed Tsunade for many years and deeply understands their power.
But now Orochimaru actually surrendered to Aburame Shiki.
Shizune subconsciously closed her black stocking legs.
Everyone has a strong mentality.
What's more, she has a special relationship with Aburame Shiki.
"Sister Shizune."
Shiki Aburame talked about Orochimaru's arrangement, "He will be responsible for the experiment of the curse seal from now on."
Shizune came back to her senses, still feeling dazed.
She didn't react until Aburame Zhihui patted her hip-covering skirt.
"yes."
Shizune said, glaring at him.
Aburame Shiki raised an eyebrow.
Shizune was so frightened that she quickly took two steps back and distanced herself from him.
"Orochimaru, summon Ichikishima-hime."
Aburame Shiki saw this and let her go.
Orochimaru bit his thumb and pressed it to the ground.
Psychic art!
The smoke cleared and Ichikishimahime appeared.
"What happened to her?"
Shizune's eyes narrowed and she couldn't help but ask.
"The upper level of Ryūchi Cave."
Aburame Shiki said casually, "Sister Shizune, take Orochimaru to the laboratory."
Shizune looked at Ichikishima Hime.
She looks so exquisite and looks very small, so there should be no problem.
"And one more thing."
Aburame Shiki suddenly remembered something and said, "Remember to publicize that I captured Orochimaru and brought him back to Konoha Village."
"I see."
Shizune nodded.
She left the Hokage's office with Orochimaru.
"Have you finished handling the Longdi Cave side?"
Aburame Shiki looked at Ichikishimahime and asked.
"Just go back once in a while."
Ichikishimahime replied.
"That's good."
Aburame Shiki touched her chin, thinking about her usefulness.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be of no use.
But her strength is pretty good, and she's fine as a personal guard.
"What's the smallest size your snake body can be?"
Aburame Shiki asked after thinking for a while.
Ichikishimahime clapped her hands.
Bang.
Her body disappeared, replaced by a small dark blue crystal-like snake, less than five centimeters in length.
"so small?"
Aburame Zhihui was a little surprised.
At critical moments, it should be pretty good for Yin people.
"In the future, when no one is around, you will use the human form."
Aburame Zhihui looked around, took out a pen holder, and said, "If there are outsiders, stay inside."
"yes."
Ichikishimahime jumped up and fell into the pen holder.
Aburame Zhihui glanced at it, feeling like she had a pet in her previous life.
Moreover, when Ichikishima Hime doesn't move, she looks like a crystal toy.
Not long after, the door was opened again.
"Zhihui."
Shizune walked in and said, "Both things have been arranged."
"Thank you, Sister Shizune."
Aburame Shiki flipped through the documents and asked, "What happened in Konoha Village recently?"
"No."
Shizune paused and said, "There is something related to Tsunade-sama."
"What?"
Aburame Shiki looked up at her.
"Next week is August."
Shizune reminded.
"Teacher's birthday."
Aburame Shiki reacted.
Tsunade's birthday is August 2nd.
What to give?
Aburame Zhihui was thoughtful.
He thought of the power of human power over heaven Gu.
Let it be.
After Tsunade becomes a Gu Master, she will be able to use Sage Mode more freely.
As for him, he can't use it.
What's more, there is a second empty orifice Gu among the fifth-level Gu.
Two in one. Foretelling, I will be a traitor on my birthday.
