Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 333 Big Toad Immortal

See the truth about Izumo Castle.

This is the explanation Orochimaru gave Yukimura. He took Yukimura away from the crowd and headed east, a direction completely opposite to the center of Izumo City.

"Where is this place?"

Along the way, the surrounding scenery has changed a lot. If it is said that the surrounding area of ​​Izumo City is still a very normal natural forest, then the further east you go, the more abnormal it becomes.

The environment became darker and darker, weird plants appeared in Yukimura's field of vision, and there were fewer and fewer animals coming and going, replaced by various snakes.

That's right, all kinds of snakes.

Red, green, black, all kinds of patterns, the small ones are only as thick as a finger, and the larger ones can fit the mouth of a bowl. They wander around the grass and trees nearby, not afraid of people at all. It's like entering a snake's den.

"This is the sleeping place of all secrets."

Orochimaru did not answer directly, but said slowly in a deep tone, stopped and looked forward.

Not far in front of them, they saw a cave hidden deep in the jungle. The entrance of the cave was not too big, only about three meters high, exuding a dark and cold atmosphere.

The top of the hole is crooked, like a snake crawling, and there are three big characters written in dragons and phoenixes--
[Longdi Cave! 】

"Dragon Cave?"

Yukimura was startled. As a loyal reader of Hokage, how could he not know the name of the three holy places that are as famous as Mt. , Dragon Cave?

Is Ryuji Cave actually in the city of Izumo?

This was a bit different from what he had imagined. With such a complicated mood, Yukimura and Orochimaru walked in together. First, there was a very long passage without torches, but the eyes of the serpentine reliefs on both sides were dimly lit. The light, although not very bright, is enough to illuminate.

There was the sound of something crawling on the ground, accompanied by intermittent hissing sounds, and creepy long black shadows walked out from the bottom of their feet, occasionally touching Yukimura There was a damp coolness on his feet.

Yukimura trembled slightly. Since it was Ryuji Cave, it was obvious that there were dragons walking around his feet... oh no, snakes.

In other words, it is obviously the site of snakes, why must it be called Longdi Cave?Is it just because of the addition of a dragon character?

No wonder the toads and slugs named the places where they live respectively Miaomu Mountain and Wetbone Forest instead of Toad Mountain (Frog Mountain) and Slug Forest (Slug Forest), probably because they couldn’t find any taller distant relatives, right?

Yukimura made a little complaint in his heart, and followed Orochimaru to continue to move toward the depths.

Orochimaru was in front, and Yukimura was behind, neither of them spoke, they just walked in so quietly, I don't know how long they went, the light in front finally became much brighter, two torches could be vaguely seen, the torches Behind is a closed stone door, and there are still people standing at the door, who seem to be guards or something.

"who?"

Hearing the footsteps of the two coming, a guard immediately looked over and shouted.

"it's me."

Orochimaru stepped forward, made a seal with both hands, and then saw the eyes of the snake sculpture in front of the door flicker, as if something had been activated.

"Lord Hokage!"

The two guards put down their guard and bowed.

Their dress is not the same as those ninjas outside. They wear a kind of clothing worn by Orochimaru's subordinates a long time ago, a loose robe, and a huge twist-shaped hemp rope belt on the back. Knowing what is the use of this thing, it is not easy to play bundled play.

Orochimaru waved his hand, let the two stand up, and led Yukimura to the door.

"Master Yukimura."

For Yukimura, the two guards also showed a certain amount of respect, but after all, they met for the first time and were unfamiliar, so nodding each other was regarded as a greeting.

"Go here first."

Orochimaru said, Chakra appeared on the palm of his hand, and he pressed lightly on the stone gate in front of him.

puff!
A circle of black spells appeared on the door, and the Chakra mixed with Orochimaru emitted a strong blue light. After a flash, the spells and the light disappeared together.

Whoa, whoa!

The Shimen trembled, and opened bit by bit towards both sides, and a gust of wind blew through it. At this moment, Yukimura faintly smelled a stench.

"come in."

Orochimaru greeted, the two walked in, and the stone door closed behind them.

It's dark inside, there is no fire, and there is no light. Even Yukimura's kaleidoscope Sharingan, in this state, the field of vision is not very high. You can only see Orochimaru standing in front, and a seemingly A big black shadow.

"Orochimaru……"

He opened his mouth, and before he said anything, he saw Orochimaru in front of him raise his hand, and it seemed to be patted twice. After a moment, the surroundings were bright, and the surrounding walls emitted bright light, illuminating the entire space. Brightly lit.

The surrounding environment suddenly brightened, and the next moment, Yukimura found that the place where he was standing was a hall with an area of ​​about a thousand square meters, and not far in front of him, there was a huge seat, the seat On it, sat an old, very large toad.

"The Great Toad Immortal!"

He couldn't help exclaiming, it was obviously the Longdi Cave of the White Snake Immortal, but he didn't see the White Snake Immortal, but unexpectedly saw the figure of the Big Toad Immortal.

"It looks like you know him."

Orochimaru said quietly beside him, that's right, the toad sitting on the seat mountain is the ancestor of the toads in Miaomu Mountain, the Great Toad Immortal.

"Is he... sleeping?"

Yukimura took a few steps forward, and keenly noticed that the big toad sage didn't seem to be moving at all.

It stands to reason that they made such a loud noise before that anyone who heard it would have to take a look at it, but the big toad fairy in front remained unmoved. He sat motionless on the chair with his head resting on the chair. On his back, he seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed.

The Great Toad Immortal has the ability to predict the future in his sleep. That ability is usually called a prophetic dream. Yukimura is not sure. Could it be that his current state is carrying out a mysterious prophetic dream?
"Do not."

Orochimaru denied Yukimura's guess with a cold answer, he looked up at the behemoth deeply, and uttered a few words decisively.

"he died."

He stated in a cold voice, speaking a terrible truth.

"died?"

When he said this, Yukimura suddenly realized that, yes, from this huge body in front of him, he could not feel any feeling of the living. There was no sound of breathing or heartbeat, no chakra, and no temperature at all. There was a faint rancid smell, indeed, it was not normal sleep, but the appearance of death.

The owner of Mount Miaomu, one of the Three Holy Lands, the living fossil of the Ninja World, the giant toad Immortal, is dead!

"How did he die?"

Yukimura said in disbelief, you know, the big toad sage is a creature that has survived since Kaguya's era. It can be said that his life is the history of the ninja world, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a living fossil of the ninja world.

However, such an elder with a long life has died here quietly at this moment, just sitting quietly on his stone seat, as if he was in a deep sleep, and died peacefully.

"because of you."

Orochimaru glanced at Yukimura, and spit out three words neatly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Yukimura asked in puzzlement, what did he have to do with the death of the Great Toad Immortal?
"Don't you really want to know how you came into this world?"

Orochimaru said calmly and calmly.

"That's the answer."

He glanced at Immortal Toad, and the implication was obvious that the arrival of Yukimura was the means of Immortal Toad.

"I should have explained before that after the First Coming event, the five major powers united to form the current empire, but due to the subversion of the imperial regime, the empire that was originally used to prevent invaders turned into an aggressor The minions under the control of the attacker."

"Since then, the rebel army has appeared. The rebel army, determined to drive the Otsuki clan out of the ninja world, has been preparing for the final war with the empire since its establishment, licking its wounds in the dark, saving Strength, waiting for the final battle."

"However, all this is not going well. In the centuries-long struggle with the empire, after thousands of fights, we have gradually discovered the fact that with our current capabilities, we cannot truly eliminate Abandon the Otsutsuki clan."

Orochimaru said quietly that the Otsuki clan has strong strength and tenacious vitality, making them difficult to kill. Although two members of the Otsutsuki clan have been killed one after another since Yukimura arrived, most of them were due to Yukimura's participation. For this reason, without Xingcun's Sharingan, it is much more difficult to deal with Otsutsuki.

"The power of the empire is increasing year by year. They have more manpower and resources than us. They, who have collected most of the tailed beasts, are developing faster than us on some levels. If they continue to develop at this pace, we can't wait When we are ready, the secrets of Izumo City will be discovered first, and from then on, everything will come to an end."

"Therefore, at this time, we need a knife, a sharp knife that can pierce the heart of the empire."

Orochimaru said word by word, Yukimura understood that the sharp knife mentioned here was his own Tian Yu Yu Zhan.

"However, the knife in our world has decayed for various reasons. We need a brand new knife, a usable knife from another world."

As Orochimaru said, he looked towards Yukimura. Yukimura knew that this was the cause and effect of his time travel. What he traveled through was not time, but a parallel world.

And the person who brought him into this world is Immortal Toad.

"Old Toad has eyes that can see the future. He can perceive changes in the world and time, and watch the future from different timelines."

Orochimaru continued to explain that observing the timeline and manifesting it in the form of dreams is the ability of the big toad sage.

"However, even he can usually only observe, and it is almost impossible to change the time. In order to do this, the old toad spent all his life and burned his own life to nothing. I made a small change in time, brought you out of that time, and came to our world, and I died of exhaustion because of this."

"So, you are what Old Toad is looking forward to, the biggest variable in this world, the... key that can turn the world."

As Orochimaru said, he raised his head, looked at the huge body sitting on the chair and died quietly in front of him, and gradually thought of the owner of this body, that old and weak voice, in the last few seconds of his own life. Inside, say the last few words.

[At this time, I have no choice. Among the more than 400 million yellow leaves, I have selected the best-growing and tenderest new green, and brought it to you. Now, I can only rely on you... You must protect the last green leaf...]

[My life has come to an end, but there is still hope for the future of these people in this world. 】

【So, you must persevere, find that person, find that... the key that can turn the world. 】

I have found the key that turns the world, and I am standing in front of you now. I hope that everything in the future will be as you wish. Within half a year, the past and present will be settled together. At that time, your soul will rest in peace, and I can also retire.

Orochimaru said silently in his heart, he looked at the body of the Great Toad Immortal who died quietly, and his pair of eyes that had lost their luster looked down, which happened to be where Yukimura and Orochimaru were standing now.

Hama Wan, did you see all of this at that time?
