Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

Konoha.

Orochimaru temporarily entrusted the work of the Anbu to a few confidants, and he was busy studying Zero-Tail and the secret technique of physical activation, and also taught and treated Qianno; Uchiha Mikoto was still practicing with Uzumaki Mito; all the big and small things in the village were also With the help of Hizashi, the dedicated secretary of the Hokage, everything was handled in an orderly manner.

In this case, after finishing what he was doing, Rooshu suddenly became free.

On this day, Shengshu, who was quietly thinking about something, suddenly remembered the promise made to Xin Ya by Jiuwei night.

Xinya said last time that she hoped Shengshu would have time to go to Longdi Cave, and Shengshu happily agreed at that time.

Rather than expecting a snake without arms and legs to perform counter-spiritual techniques, Shengshu felt that it would be more reliable to walk over on his own legs.

With nothing to do, Naoki simply dumped all the big and small things in Konoha on Tsunade who had been idle all day long. After explaining it to Hizashi, he left Konoha alone and went to the Ryūchi Cave provided by Mr. Orochimaru. Go in the general direction.

As for how Hizashi would be tortured by Tsunade, the temporary Hokage, Naoki didn't bother to care.

This guy Kyuubi didn't know who he heard from about Naoki's departure, so he ran out from Mito that night and grabbed Naoki's trouser leg.

"Shengshu, if you go to Longdi Cave, be sure to take me with you!"

"The thing about that stinky snake sneaking up on me last time can't just be forgotten!"

Kyuubi's cautious behavior shocked Naoki. In the end, I was so entangled that I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed.

As for the love-hate entanglement between Xinya and Jiulama...

never mind! Let’s wait until we find Longdi Cave!

So the rope tree thought.

"I have a hunch that Longdi Cave may not be far away!"

Kyuubi turned into a mini fox, hooked its tail around the rope tree's neck, and looked into the distance with a serious face.

Shengshu stopped at a cliff and looked at the faint mist floating in a jagged mountain valley in the distance.

"Nine Lama, how do you know? Have you been here before?"

Kyuubi shook his head like a rattle, sniffed the smell in the air, and snorted with a look of disgust.

"I have no interest in this kind of place!"

"It's just that that annoying feeling is getting more and more obvious!"

Shengshu frowned slightly and said doubtfully:

"Hate?"

"But I didn't feel any unpleasant feeling from Xinya's chakra!"

Kyuubi stood on all fours on Noshu's shoulders and shook his head seriously.

"Although I hate that smelly snake, the feeling its chakra gives me is not really annoying!"

"You may not understand the feeling I mentioned!"

"Um……"

"How to describe it?"

"It's like a mouse facing a cat, that kind of horror when facing a natural enemy!"

"Although this feeling is a bit weak..."

Naoki was stunned, and it could make Nine-Tails feel like facing a natural enemy. Samsara Eye?

"No!"

"It should be the Ten-Tails!"

Nao Shu's spirit was shaken, and he followed Kyuubi's line of sight to look at the valley in the distance full of ravines.

The ravines go from shallow to deep, with branches and teeth crisscrossing each other, connecting into a whole, converging into a large pit in the middle shrouded in mist.

In the large pit, wisps of mist mixed with the magical energy of Longdi Cave were slowly floating around.

"This shape...is it the trace left by the roots of the sacred tree?"

"Could the Longdi Cave be the place where the sacred tree grew?"

"The yellow sand in the sky in the Kingdom of Wind, and the rain of rocks in the Kingdom of Earth, are they the result of the sacred tree draining the energy from the nearby earth veins?"

Thinking of this possibility, Naoshu couldn't help but take a breath.

"Nine Lama, do you think this is the place where the Six Paths Sage and the Ten-Tails fought?"

Kyuubi was startled, thought for a while, and nodded seriously.

"It is indeed possible!"

"But the great war that year shattered the ninja world to pieces, and I can no longer identify its original position!"

Kyuubi paused, stretched out his front paws and pointed at the pothole in the distance.

"There is a natural energy that is very similar to the tailed beast's origin hidden underground there."

"Maybe... maybe that's where the Dragon Earth Cave is."

Naoshu stretched out his hand and stroked Kyuubi's tail and gave it a worried look.

"You were separated from the Ten-Tails. If there really is still power left over from the Ten-Tails, will it have some bad effects on you?"

Kyuubi's heart felt warm, and he immediately shook Naoki's hand away from his tail and snorted with disdain.

"snort!"

"I am the strongest tailed beast!"

"The Ten-Tails is dead a long time ago. It's impossible to hurt me at all with its remaining power."

"I just want you to be careful when I say this!"

Naoki grabbed Kyuubi's tail in a funny way and pulled it.

"Okay! I'll be careful too!"

"Let's go! Let's go take a look and talk about it later!"

…

Kakuzu got out of the money exchange and looked at the reward in his hand with a troubled expression.

He regretted it a little!

The money exchange only provided information that the Fourth Hokage could use Wood Release, but it did not provide any other information to Kakuzu.

This puts Kakuzu in a difficult position!

What if this Fourth Hokage is as strong as Senju Hashirama?

Being dazzled by the huge sum of 800 million taels, he impulsively told the gold exchange counter about hunting the Fourth Hokage.

If I go back now...

"Tch! I don't want to go back and be laughed at by those younger people!"

"Big deal...big deal..."

"I will go to another gold exchange place to make a living from now on!"

Kakuzu admitted that he really didn't want to experience the feeling he had when facing the first Hokage again!

He made an excuse in his mind, stuffed the reward letter with the portrait of the rope tree into his arms, and walked out of the secret entrance of the money exchange.

Looking up, I saw a figure standing abruptly on the cliff in the distance.

Kakuzu looked at it intently, his face suddenly blank, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Quietly retreating to the entrance, Kakuzu took out the reward order again.

"Eight hundred million taels!"

"He actually appeared here?"

Kakuzu stared at the portrait in his hand, then stuck his head out to confirm it again, and a trace of struggle suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"How about... give it a try?"

"Anyway, if there is a local grudge, I will bet my life on it!"

"I want these 800 million taels!"

Quietly, he separated an earth-attribute mask from his body, and Kakuzu controlled the Earth Resentment Yu to use earth escape to burrow into the ground as a last resort.

He hid his figure and quietly lurked towards the rope tree.

"This distance is almost enough! The limit of perception of an average ninja will not exceed this distance without any precautions!"

Kakuzu stopped a few hundred meters away from behind Naoki, took out a shuriken from his ninja bag, and shot it at Naoki's back.
