tick...
tick...
The sound of water droplets falling on the stalactites on the top of the cave echoed continuously in the dark and silent cave.
Walking in the cave, Naruto looked left and right, and found that the fog in the cave was getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility was getting lower and lower. Things beyond one or two meters could not be seen clearly.
Hinata timidly followed behind Naruto, still tightly clutching Naruto's sleeves, her pretty face was full of nervousness that she was afraid of getting separated from Naruto.
Naruto turned his head and smiled at Hinata: "It's okay, I'm here!"
"Um!"
Hinata nodded heavily.
After walking in the cave for a long time, Naruto couldn't hold back anymore, and asked the medicine master Dou who had been leading the way: "Brother Dou, where are we going?"
Pushing the mirror frame on the bridge of the nose: "Go to a place where you can hide from the enemy!"
Through the previous sensory ninjutsu, Dou found that the elite ninjas approaching this secret base all had chakra levels of elite top ninja, so he immediately gave up the idea of confrontation, and took Naruto and Hinata directly into the depths of the cave.
The reason why Orochimaru opened up a secret base in this cave and placed the important hostage Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki here is not only because of the remote location of this cave, but also because this cave connects a secret realm that exists between reality and fantasy, and is a natural refuge from powerful enemies.
For everything deep in the cave, Dou has been full of interest for a long time, but without the permission of Orochimaru, he dare not act rashly, and this time the foreign enemy attack gave him a reason to go deep into the cave for refuge, so he led Naruto and Hinata towards the depth of the cave without hesitation.
It didn't take long for the fog in the cave to become so thick that even if they were separated by only one body, they could not see clearly. Several people inside were completely surrounded by thick fog, and Naruto and Hinata completely lost their sense of direction.
"Du... Brother Dou, how long do you have to go?"
At this time, Naruto couldn't help but grabbed the sleeve of the front pocket like Hinata grabbed his sleeve.
With a calm face, Dou smiled: "It will be there soon."
Naruto muttered softly: "You said the same thing just now, but you haven't arrived after so long!"
Looking back at Naruto, a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he quickly retracted it, and asked with a smile: "Naruto, do you know why you can't learn the 'separation technique'?"
Naruto has been paying attention to this question, and hastily asked, "Why?"
Dou said: "Because you are the son of a fox demon, you cannot use chakra like a normal person."
Kato, who has reached the level of jounin and is proficient in medical ninjutsu, naturally also saw the nine tails in Naruto's body, which was the chief culprit who interfered with Naruto's normal use of ninjutsu.
Naruto's expression dropped again, and he pouted, "Then...then I will never learn the 'separation technique'?"
Dou seemed to be thinking about something, and said slowly: "In fact, besides using chakra, there is another way to perform ninjutsu, and that is..."
"What is it? Brother Dou, tell me quickly!"
Hearing that there are other ways to learn ninjutsu, Naruto suddenly became energetic.
Looking at the bag deep in the mist, a strange smile appeared on his face: "That's the fairy art!"
"Immortal technique!?"
Naruto was stunned for a moment. In the village, he had never heard of this word, even Sasuke, who could always say some strange words, never mentioned it.
"As long as you have learned the art of immortality and can absorb the natural energy outside your body, then even if you can't use the chakra in your body, you can still become an excellent ninja, even Hokage is not impossible!"
Dou smiled lightly, and the corners of his grin became more and more provocative.
Because of Chongwu, Orochimaru's research on natural energy has been very in-depth, and the "curse seal" is the research result in this area, but because Oroshemaru has used the forbidden technique of "Undead Reincarnation" and changed his body, there are certain problems in his physique, so there are some obstacles in the practice of immortality.
In addition, there are great risks in practicing fairy art, even the talented Orochimaru is not sure, so in the field of fairy art, Orochimaru has fallen into a dead end.
Dou is a person who has lost himself, so he hopes to learn celestial arts and make himself a reference for Orochimaru in celestial arts. Therefore, his fascination with celestial arts is growing day by day, and it is difficult to contain it.
Listening to Dou's narration, Naruto suddenly lost his mind.
In his mind, he imagined that after he became Hokage, Sasuke respected him, and the villagers cheered and praised him. Thinking about it, the corner of his mouth unconsciously let out a haha.
And when Naruto clamored to learn fairy arts, he saw that Naruto behind him didn't say a word for a long time, he felt suspicious, and quickly looked back, just in time to see Naruto who was daydreaming and swearing, his face turned black, and he thought: "What a heartless little guy, is it really useful to let him try to practice fairy arts first..."
At this time, Naruto also came back to his senses, and muttered: "Brother Dou, I want to learn fairy art, please teach me fairy art!"
Dou shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't know fairy arts."
"Ah?" Naruto was disappointed, and asked again: "Then who can teach me fairy art? Teacher Orochimaru?"
Dou shook his head again: "Master Orochimaru doesn't even know how to use immortal arts!"
Naruto was taken aback: "Even a ninja as powerful as Oshemaru-sensei doesn't know senjutsu?"
"In the ninja world, there are very few ninjas who master immortal arts. I'm afraid there is no one who can guide you." After a slight pause, he glanced at a towering cave faintly revealed in the mist in front of him, and said yearningly: "But I know where you can practice immortal arts."
"Where can I practice fairy art?"
Naruto's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously. There is no doubt that Dou has successfully aroused his interest in immortal arts.
Tou, who had been walking forward in the mist, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Naruto, who was following behind him, bumped into Dou's body at once, and while rubbing his head, he complained, "Brother Dou, why did you stop all of a sudden?"
Looking at the cave door in front of him in a daze, he murmured: "We have arrived."
Naruto poked his head out from behind the bag, looked at the simple and majestic cave door in front of him, and asked, "Hey, what kind of place is this?"
Hinata, clutching Naruto's sleeve, recognized the three large characters above the cave door, and said softly, "Ryuji Cave."
"Ryuji Cave?" Naruto spared his head and asked, "Where is Ryuji Cave? Why would someone live in such a remote cave? It's so strange!"
Dou smiled: "This is the place where you can learn fairy arts, and when did I say that the people who live here are humans?"
The second one is here! It's a new month again, ask everyone for a guaranteed monthly pass! In addition, I would like to thank the students who donated rewards today, thank you everyone!
