Naruto: The will of fire has nothing to do with my Uchiha

Pharmacist Dou thought to himself that it might be in disrepair. After all, he hadn't been here for several years, and the inspection work couldn't be comprehensive.

"Keep walking, don't you want me to see some surprise? Are ninjas still afraid of hitting the wall?"

"...Okay, but as I said, it depends on luck."

The road to the cave goes straight into the forest, not a dead end. It's a general direction. Kabuto Yakushi, as a member of the construction team, knows that in the worst case, he can just hold on to the wall. There are no traps anyway.

The memory was a little hazy. The wall that Yaoshi Kabuto was holding on disappeared without knowing when, but the mist became clearer in the darkness.

"Sasuke, are you still there?"

Kabuto Yakushi suddenly felt his body being pulled and walked a few more steps. When he stood firm, he found that he could already see Sasuke clearly not far ahead. Pushed up his glasses,

"Looks like we got lucky."

"Because it doesn't feel right, it's what we expected to meet, right?"

"Strictly speaking, we may have reached Longdi Cave now."

As they continued to move forward, the scenery around them became clearer, and they came to a forest before they knew it.

"It seems that this is similar to the operation of slipping and falling into a pond and ending up in Myoboku Mountain."

"Not polite."

A serious, clear female voice echoed in the woods around her.

"How can we blatantly compare Longdi Cave to several other places on our territory?"

"Since you have gone and come back, why don't you tell your companions about the rules here in advance?"

"Those who have traveled with Orochimaru before, are you here to let us eat you this time?"

A woman dressed in fairy feathers floated over.

The Sharingan saw that the energy in her body was far inferior in magnitude to tailed beasts like Shukaku and Matata, but stronger than a few giant toads in Mt. Myouki. Not too much, she was calm, steady, and restrained, without any hint of tail. The fury of beast chakra. Is this all natural energy?

"I haven't seen you in a few years, Tian Xin Shenji, you are still so beautiful~"

The pharmacist said something glib, but of course the first priority is to shirk the blame.

"As for last time, only Orochimaru had to try the test of learning senjutsu, and he was the one who escaped. It had nothing to do with me, a little follower."

After greeting an acquaintance, Sasuke also intervened at the right time.

"Hello, this time I want to try to learn magic."

"Try? Longdi Cave doesn't have a chance for you to try. The rules are very simple. If you can learn, you will learn. If you can't, you will die."

"So you are not going to be responsible for Orochimaru's account? What a pity."

"I remember that here, if you want to learn the magic of immortality, you still need to go through a test, why not..."

Yakushi Kabuto's words were immediately interrupted. Tian Xinji grimaced angrily, showing a somewhat perceptive half-snake appearance, as if he didn't care about the damage to his image at all.

"What kind of test is this? This isn't your first time here. He's still an Uchiha. I won't bring trouble to myself by trying to do things he doesn't know!"

"If you fail in your studies, we can also have a feast, so you might as well go in quickly. Hum."

With that said, Tian Xin Shenji floated away.

"Still she won't let us stay, then let's go, Sasuke."

"The immortals in Longdi Cave can fly."

"Huh? Yes, magic and other things are really fascinating, right?"

"But, Miao...Naruto and the immortals on his side can't do it. Iwagakure Village also has a technique that can fly. Maybe it's a method other than senjutsu."

"Looks like you've seen me."

"Don't stay where you are, I won't let you pass the test easily like her~"

"Yes, this way~"

This sage, who looked more childish than Tian Shinji, kept guiding Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto to a cave in the smoke.

After both of them entered the cave, the immortal suddenly appeared from behind.

"I'm Ichikishima-hime, it's our first time meeting you."

Then he looked specifically at the pharmacist's pocket.

"But, you and I have met before, right~"

"Don't worry, I have carefully designed this test. It is completely different from what you experienced last time. It is useless even if you give this newcomer a thorough explanation in advance!"

Looking at the crystal fragments and a rectangular groove on the ground.

"So you want us to put together a puzzle?"

"Yes, there is no need to rush, you can take your time, but when your chakra is exhausted, you will become my food!"

Faintly feeling the flow of chakra,

"There is a formation in the cave that can absorb chakra?"

"Yes! Don't be anxious, because it's useless to be anxious. As long as you don't pass my test, I won't give you the chance to practice immortality."

"When your chakra is slowly consumed, it's time for me to start dinner~"

When Ichikishimahime got excited, she showed her snake face,

Sasuke turned his head and asked Yakushi Kabuto,

"So you and Orochimaru also experienced this kind of test before?"

It's really hard to imagine Orochimaru playing with a puzzle.

"We were looking for the same one among a lot of crystals of the same color..."

It’s easy to understand, right?

Kabuto Yakushi understood Sasuke's current expression very well.

"Orochimaru said that the practice of senjutsu may be simpler and easier."

"Is that what Orochimaru said about us when he ran away?"

"I didn't expect him to praise others. It's a pity that I didn't eat it until he ran away. I don't know how it tastes."

It is indeed simple, so simple that it is clear.

Sasuke didn't care much as he chatted with her, and started looking for right-angled pieces with Yakushi Kabuto.

"Can't you immortals from Longdi Cave go out and catch him?"

"Why are you going out? We have the duty to guard Longdi Cave, and there is nothing we need outside."

"Don't you want to eat people? I heard that there are people living near Longdi Cave. Why don't you usually go there to eat?"

"Eating people is just a hobby. Those who are capable will come to you on their own. Moreover, we have rules in Longdi Cave. We are not allowed to sneak out deliberately to find food."

If he could design such a seemingly simple puzzle game based on his wall-facing life, this Snake Immortal must actually have a high IQ.

……

With the help of the shadow clone, more than half an hour passed and the puzzle was completed. The monochromatic puzzle had more than five hundred pieces. The only difficulty is that it takes time.

"It seems it's not easy to eat you~ But I still have a chance."

The stone door of the cave opened, and Ichikishimahime disappeared in the air, completely integrating into the environment, instead of disappearing like a shadow clone.

Sensing the hidden weapon coming, Sasuke subconsciously took out his knife to block it.

The hidden weapon stopped,

"I am Ruizinji, and my test is about your mind."

"But my test has to take a bite of you first. Just let me take a bite, do you hear me?"

The one who came to accept the test was Uchiha. The ordinary genjutsu was useless, he had to be drugged! Ruizinji was also forced to do so. But she didn't expect that as an immortal, she would be discovered during the sneak attack.

"Sasuke, this is indeed part of the test."

Medicine Master Kabuto helped, but this operation, which seemed similar to the inoculation curse seal, was really troublesome. Orochimaru was biting people everywhere because he learned it bad in Ryūchi Cave. He didn't learn the magic of immortality, so he really turned himself into a snake.

... Could this be the sequelae of failure in learning immortality?
