Chapter 417: Hamura and the Snake

To the northwest of the Fire Country, there are mountains and forests.

In a long and deep cave, broken human bones are occasionally seen on both sides. Combined with the dim light, it brings a strange and terrifying atmosphere, causing few people to dare to go deep inside.

But if you go to the end, you can see a door with simple patterns, and under two blazing white lights, a dragon shape is faintly reflected.

This is the Dragon Cave of the Three Great Immortals.

Ji Xing came here three days after his second trip to a distant alien space to spar with Kaguya.

Black Zetsu was assigned other tasks by him and did not come with him, so only Kyuubi accompanied him in the form of a seal hidden in the palm of his hand.

In fact, according to the agreement, it was time to bring the Eight-Tails out this time, but Ji Xing still needed the fighting power of the Nine-Tails and had no time to take care of two children at the same time, so he made an appointment next time.

Standing in front of the gate of Longdi Cave, the gate opened automatically without Ji Xing knocking on it, and two figures behind the door, one on the left and one on the right, seemed to welcome guests.

One was a girl with long green hair, and the other was a little girl with long dark blue hair. They greeted in unison: "Ms. Ishiba!"

"I am Tian Xinji."

"I'm Ichikishima-hime."

"We are the Snake Princess who serves the White Snake Immortal. We welcome Mr. Ishiba Mihaya to Ryūchi Cave!"

"It's quite neat." Ji Xing nodded and said, "Have you practiced many times? Did White Snake guess that I would come?"

"Yes!" Ichikishima Hime said: "Since Master Slug Sento sent a message to Master White Snake Sento a few days ago, we have been arranged to pick you up here. Please come with us, the Sage has been waiting for you."

She looked a little nervous.

After all, compared with the ninjas who have listened to their stories for decades, they have listened to them for hundreds of years. They are very close to the period when Ji Xing ruled the Kingdom of Stars, and they understand what happened at that time better.

Led by two Snake Princesses, Ji Xing walked into Longdi Cave. Different from the atmosphere of Mt. Myoboku with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers and the croaking of frogs, Ryūji Cave is full of cold and damp land, with small colorful snakes swimming around, catching earthworms and insects for food.

There are several large snake caves, and there are strong vitality fluctuations in them, but Ji Xing is not interested in them now and goes all the way to the depths of Longdi Cave.

In front of the vast hall, a fat old woman was holding a pipe and was waiting for Ji Xing with Tuanjinji, the last snake concubine in Longdi Cave.

"Long time no see, White Snake."

"Yes, Master Shi Po Si Zao." Immortal White Snake said: "You three go down first, while Master Shi Po Si Zao and I catch up on old times."

"Yes, Lord White Snake Immortal."

The three Snake Queens retreated, and only Ji Xing and White Snake Immortal were left in the hall. She smiled and said: "I heard from Immortal Slug a few days ago that you have recovered. It really shocked me. Thinking about it later, it's not surprising. Lord Hamura back then A similar tone was also revealed.”

"Really? That kid has such a loose mouth." Ji Xing shook his head and walked closer: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you in human form. It makes you look like a kind old lady, which is a bit awkward."

"Isn't this old age? It was not like this back then." White Snake Sage joked: "When I first took human form, I was more beautiful than the three of them. Lord Hamura even had a secret love for me."

Ji Xing was stunned for a moment, with a surprised smile on his face.

"Is there such a thing? Please elaborate."

"Hahaha, there's nothing more to say, it's just a young boy named Muai. Later, he was discovered by Lord Hagoromo, taught Lord Hamura a lesson, and married him a wife, and the matter was over."

White Snake Sage shook his head: "And don't say I'm a snake and he's a human. Just talk about age. I'm hundreds of years older than Hamura-sama."

"It's a pity that Hagoromo is meddling in other people's business." Ji Xing lamented, "We are missing a daughter-in-law."

The White Snake Immortal was startled and laughed.

Different from the situation a thousand years ago, when they meet again after a thousand years, there are not many old friends of each other, so they automatically turn their relationship into friends.

Unlike Tomamaru, who was exiled to another space early, White Snake Sennin has been with the Kingdom of Stars for a long time after Ji Xing left, and he was able to fill the gap before the birth of Black Zetsu.

And although the three great immortals have all made contracts with Ji Xing, in fact only Toamaru is always with Ji Xing, the slug follows Hagoromo, and the white snake follows Hamura, so most of what it talks about is when Hamura was from 15 years old to young. Interesting stories about growing up.

Ji Xing sounded very nostalgic. Compared to the deep and mature Hagoromo, he liked Hamura more. Who made the child call him daddy all the time?

She looked so cute when she was a child.

They talked and laughed, and walked to the huge throne of the White Snake Immortal in the depths of the hall. The White Snake Immortal tapped his pipe on the armrest, opened a mechanism, and revealed a scroll.

"This is it."

Ji Xing received it in his hand, unfolded it, spread it on the ground, and unsealed it.

After a burst of white smoke, a corpse appeared on the scroll. His real age was over 50, but his appearance was about 30. He had messy white hair, handsome appearance, two horns on the top of his head, and was wearing a suit with six magatama stones printed on it. white coat.

An unusually familiar, yet much more mature face appeared in front of him, pulling people into memories. Ji Xing couldn't help but reach out and touch his horn lightly, and said with a smile: "I'm back, Hamura."

Of course, Otsutsuki Hamura, who has been dead for thousands of years, will not respond to Ji Xing. There is no trace of chakra left in this corpse.

After the battle with Otsutsuki Yamei, Hagoromo only had time to say a few words to Black Zetsu before he died, while Hamura lived for a while longer.

Because at the critical moment, he came to the Ryuchi Cave through the reverse spiritual communication of the White Snake Immortal and avoided the last wave of indiscriminate attacks by Otsutsuki Yame.

He was able to make some final arrangements.

He remembered Ji Xing's teachings and was worried that without Kaguya's suppression, the ninjas who had gained power would enslave and oppress ordinary people. He was also worried that his and Yui's descendants would get out of control, so he set some rules, which made the current ninja world a form where the country and the ninja village coexist. Otherwise, the ninja village should rule the country.

He also left a letter to Black Zetsu, telling Black Zetsu that if he couldn't rescue his mother, he would try to find Ji Xing and bring him back, and his father would have a way.

Unlike Yui's body that was taken care of by Black Zetsu, his body remained in the Ryuchi Cave, which was better preserved for a thousand years.

Seeing Hamura silent for a moment, Ji Xing sighed: "You must have inherited Kaguya's appearance. Look at what Hamura has grown up to be."

The White Snake Immortal smiled and said: "Master Hamura, you have indeed grown more...mature."

Ji Xing smiled and raised his head, put Hamura's body back into the scroll: "Then I will take him away. White Snake, I have another thing to do with you.

There is a traitor named Orochimaru in Konoha Village who signed the spiritual contract of Ryuchi Cave. Can you confirm his current location?"

...

Two days later.

Southwest of the Land of Fire.

A secret underground base.

With long black hair, golden vertical pupils, purple eyeshadow extending to the wings of the nose, and a pale middle-aged face with blue-green magatama earrings, Orochimaru was shaking a test tube filled with green liquid in front of his snake pupils for observation.

Suddenly, his ears moved.

"What's the matter, Guren? I didn't mean..."

The hoarse voice paused, and his snake pupils turned to the stairs leading to here from the upper floor.

Is it Brother Scorpion? No, it shouldn't be either.

Putting down the test tube in his hand, a cold breath of snakes emanated from his body, and he watched the uninvited guest walk into the laboratory.

Under the bright light, Orochimaru's snake pupils suddenly enlarged. This face is...

Not a transformation technique, nor a disguise?

But how could it be, the real appearance? !

Ji Xing nodded to him and said, "Don't doubt it, junior, I am Ishiba Mitsuha."

Silence, shock, doubt, Orochimaru's pale face has never flashed so many emotions in a short period of time, and finally turned into a passionate flame-like emotion reflected in his snake pupils!

Ji Xing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Orochimaru's flame went out again.

He was silent for three seconds again, bowed deeply, and said hoarsely and respectfully: "This is really amazing. The first generation of the Star Country who founded the Star Country and unified the ninja world, the ancestor of the Star Country, I didn't expect that I would have the honor of seeing you in person..."
