Konoha's West Gate Official

In the Kingdom of Sound, hidden in a cave is a secret residence that few people know about, or a secret base dedicated to human experiments.

In the tidy house, which was slightly dark and damp, a middle-aged man was lying on the bed, his face was quite pale, and he coughed from time to time. It was Orochimaru who had not been seen for a long time.

At this time, he opened his cold vertical pupils and asked in a hoarse and low voice: "How is the experiment going?"

Upon hearing the question, Kabuto the pharmacist on the side replied respectfully: "Eighty percent completed. We have matched multiple bodies that fit you and can be replaced at any time."

Orochimaru nodded when he heard this: "It's a pity. Even if the body is replaced, the burns on the soul will be difficult to recover."

As he spoke, a deep fear could not help but appear in his eyes.

In order to put a curse seal on Sasuke, he deliberately sneaked into the Leaf Village and wanted to control him during the Chunin Exam.

Unexpectedly, Namikaze Simon suddenly appeared at the critical moment, not only interrupting his plan, but also seriously injuring himself with a terrifying forest white flame.

Although he escaped from the village relying on his life-saving trump cards, most of his body had been burned, so he had no choice but to rely on forbidden magic to change himself into another body.

However, what I didn't expect was that the power of the strange fire not only affected the physical body, but also caused great damage to the soul.

Every once in a while, his soul would alternate between extreme cold and extreme heat, as if he was in the polar opposites of ice and fire, which was very torturous.

In the past few years, Orochimaru has continued to study in technology and ninjutsu, and relied on special methods to alleviate some of the pain, but he still left serious root causes of the disease, and he has not been able to recover to this day.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh...

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded without warning: "Senior Orochimaru, we meet again."

After the words fell, Orochimaru's expression changed. He looked up and saw a figure appearing in the room at some point.

A pair of eyes narrowed slightly, his face instantly filled with solemnity and caution, and he said: "Ximen-Jun, long time no see."

Ximen glanced at him and chuckled: "Don't be so nervous. If I want to take action, you won't have a chance to speak."ъ

Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned slightly and said, "Since it's not to kill me, then why did Ximen come to me all the way?"

Ximen heard this and said, "There is indeed something I need your help with."

"Please say."

Orochimaru replied very politely.

Ximen didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "You should have a way to get to Longdi Cave, tell me."

After hearing this, Orochimaru also understood the other party's intention, and asked with a look on his face: "You want to learn celestial arts? With Ximen-kun's strength, it shouldn't be necessary."

Ximen replied: "Uchiha Madara is resurrected, I need stronger power."

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but widen his eyes. He was very surprised and asked quickly: "He was resurrected. How is it possible? Could it be the reincarnation of the dirty earth?"

During this period of time, he had been immersed in research and did not pay much attention to the external situation. He did not expect that such a shocking thing would happen.

"It's not the reincarnation of dirty soil, it's the power of the reincarnation eye..."

Ximen said, briefly explaining what happened previously.

After the words fell, Orochimaru's mood was hard to calm down. He also had some guesses about the legendary Eye of God, but he did not expect that it would have the ability to resurrect the dead.

If you can get it, wouldn't it mean you are one step closer to eternal life...

Ximen seemed to see through his thoughts, and then said: "Don't think too much, what you need to do now is to take out the things I need."

Orochimaru came to his senses and asked, "What benefits can I get from helping you?"

Ximen said: "If you agree, I will repair the damage caused by the strange fire for you. If you don't agree, I will kill you now, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but reveal a wry smile: "It seems I have no other choice."

He has a great obsession with life, and of course he doesn't want to die like this. Then he opened his mouth, his muscles squirmed slightly, took out a scroll from his body, and handed it to the other party.

"This is a psychic scroll to go to Longdi Cave. Mr. Ximen possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique. With it, you can enter that place directly. However, whether you can obtain the Immortal Technique in the end depends on you."

I remember that he had also longed for immortality and went to Longdi Cave many times, but because he failed to pass the test and lost the opportunity to stay there to practice, he still feels a pity to this day.

Ximen raised his hand to take the scroll, looked at it to confirm that it was correct, and then fulfilled his promise and repaired the root cause of the disease left by the strange fire for the former.

Feeling that his body and soul had regained health, Orochimaru smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Ximen didn't say anything more, and left here in a flash. He knew that he didn't have much time to waste, and he had to complete the practice of Senjutsu before Uchiha Madara became the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

In a forest, I saw him opening the scroll, scratching his fingers and getting them stained with blood, then reaching out and pressing them directly. At the same time, rich chakra was released.

He closed his eyes slightly, followed the space above the scroll to sense sight, sound, and color, and soon noticed a brand new coordinate point in the void.

"found it."

He whispered in his heart, and then the figure disappeared in a trance.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was already in a world, and even the atmosphere around him became completely different.

After looking around, he saw that he had arrived in an empty cave, which was slightly damp and dark.

However, it is a place like this that is filled with extremely rich natural energy. The chakra in the air is several times that of the outside world, and it is also more active.

Obviously, this is the destination of his trip, Longdi Cave. However, if you want to practice immortal arts, you still need to obtain the approval of the White Snake Immortal.

Just as he was thinking about this, a slight but dense sound of rubbing suddenly sounded in the originally silent cave.

Looking up, I saw a large group of snakes surrounding me from all directions. They kept spitting out snakes, as if they were vigilant and unkind.

They are so densely packed that there are at least thousands of them at a glance, which makes people almost suffer from trypophobia.

Seeing this, Ximen raised his eyebrows, and a powerful aura was instantly released, suppressing the group of snakes directly to the ground...
