Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"We said we were going to find the whereabouts of Ishiki...but how are we going to find it?"

After leaving the huge satellite fortress floating above the Land of Rain, Naruto Uzumaki, who maintained the sage mode, roughly calculated the range that he could sense, and then compared the vast area of ​​the entire ninja world, and couldn't help but ask. :

"We're not going to rely on our perception ability to sweep away the entire ninja world bit by bit like we are now, right?"

"This is a guaranteed method. Although it is stupid and time-consuming, it is not difficult. As long as we remain patient and careful, we can always find the target we want to find."

Kaguya Rei shook her head, bit her finger to form a seal of the reverse psychic technique, and before teleporting Uzumaki Naruto and herself to Ryūchi Cave, he said lazily:

"But before that, there should be other methods we can try...such as the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal of Mt. Myoboku to see into the future, and the omniscience of the 'present' by the Immortal White Snake of Ryūchi Cave."

White smoke rose into the sky, but in the blink of an eye, Rei Kaguya and Naruto Uzumaki were instantly transferred from the Land of Rain to the Ryūchi Cave filled with natural energy.

"Is this...the Longdi Cave?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked around. He was first surprised by the natural energy in Ryūchi Cave that was much richer than Miaomu Mountain. Then he immediately trembled almost instinctively because of the psychic snakes that were casting curious glances at him when he suddenly appeared. After a moment, he put on a defensive posture in a somewhat startled manner.

"Let's go, Immortal White Snake should be waiting for us to visit you."

Kaguya Rei gently snapped her fingers, and the nearby Ryuji Cave serpents meekly stopped looking at their prey and returned to occupy their own territory, while Uzumaki Naruto overcame the frog's control. After being frightened by the snake, he curiously asked Kaguya Rei, who was leading him forward:

"Speaking of which, have you ever been to Miaomu Mountain and Shigu Forest, Rei?"

"Why ask such a question?"

"Because I learned my celestial skills at Mt. Miaomu, I unconsciously made some comparisons between the environments of Mt. Miaomu and Ryūchi Cave... In terms of the richness of natural energy, Ryūchi Cave, in fact, It’s much higher than Mt. Miaomu.”

Uzumaki Naruto felt that the Senjutsu Chakra was still slowly increasing in his body even if he did not actively extract it. After taking a deep breath, he asked in a deep voice:

"Don't you think this is a little unusual?"

"There is nothing abnormal. Rather, if the natural energy of Ryūchi Cave is not abundant enough to overflow, Orochimaru will not be able to find those Jugo people whose physiques have been changed by the natural energy. It is also impossible to use their body's special Develop the curse seal, a forbidden technique with an exaggerated upper limit."

Walking through the passage leading to Ryujidong Temple that seemed to be forcibly opened by the huge body of a hundred-meter-long giant snake, Kaguya Rei breathed in the natural energy of the air that made him feel relaxed and happy, while humming to the whirlpool. Man explained.

"But Miaomu Mountain, Shigu Forest and Longdi Cave have always been the three holy places with the same reputation..."

"Haha, having the same name as each other does not mean that they must have completely consistent performance in all aspects. The mature son of prophecy..."

The answer to Uzumaki Naruto's question was an old female voice that was hoarse and gloomy with a hint of undisguised joy. As the female voice sounded, the passage in front of the two people suddenly opened up, and the building that had been built unknown how long ago was opened. The Longdi Cave Temple that had been opened up, and the White Snake Immortal who was coiling around the temple with his huge body, waiting for the arrival of the two men, appeared in front of them.

"White Snake Sage..." Uzumaki Naruto looked at the White Snake Sage who was holding a pipe in his mouth. His size was even more exaggerated than that of the Ten Thousand Snakes commanded by Orochimaru, and even the second generation Ten Thousand Snakes transformed by Yakushi Kabuto, and he couldn't help but swallow hard. He spat.

Kaguya Rei's attitude here was much more casual and relaxed. He looked at the arrangement of the White Snake Sento without letting Tian Shinji and the others stand by, and said casually:

"It seems that you attach great importance to today's conversation, White Snake Immortal."

"What's the most important thing that makes you come to me for help, Lian?"

Immortal White Snake spit out the letter, and his huge eyes showed a rare look of nostalgia for the past.

"Not to mention, the person you are looking for this time is still the Otsutsuki Ishiki who is more cunning and threatening than the Otsutsuki Kaguya who was defeated by the Six Paths boys and the others..."

"Awesome," Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but show a look of surprise, "White Snake Sage, you already know our purpose before we even open our mouths to talk about it... No wonder he said you are the Sage who knows everything now. "

"Knowing everything now? That's not true..." White Snake Immortal blew out a string of smoke rings from his nostrils, and said in an old tone: "It's just like the old toad in Miaomu Mountain, he has a limited knowledge of those things about him. It's just valuable information 'for now'... If I really know all the information now, I will become almost like the guy in Shigulin."

"Same as the Great Toad Sage..." Naruto Uzumaki, who had just learned about the origin of natural energy not long ago, stared at him, "The special ability of the Great Toad Sage is to predict the future in a limited way, and your ability is to know the present in a limited way, so is it wet?" The living beast of Bone Forest..."

"This is both a gift and trouble, little fox."

White Snake Sennin shook his pipe and interrupted Uzumaki Naruto's conjecture with a vicissitude of tone. Kaguya Rei, who had already speculated about the matter, shook his head and said in a calm tone:

"Since you already know our purpose of coming, you should be willing to help us with this, right? White Snake Immortal?"

"Have I ever refused your request for help, Rei?"

White Snake Sage turned to look at Kaguya Rei, whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of Otsutsuki Hamura when he was young. After taking a deep puff of cigarette, he said slowly:

"Last time, the old toad took the initiative to provide help to the Six Paths boy and his brother, sending the greedy Otsutsuki Kaguya into a seal that lasted for thousands of years. I hope that this time the actions of the two of you can also make That dangerous guy Otsutsuki Isshiki should get a similar ending."

"Please bear witness."

Kaguya Rei nodded and motioned to Uzumaki Naruto beside him to show the chakra information of Otsutsuki Ishiki and the monk Ji Xian who was parasitized by him to White Snake Sage.

While Uzumaki Naruto showed the information he obtained from the Ten-Tails to White Snake Sage, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice:

"Well, Immortal White Snake? Why do you say that if you really know all the information now, you will become similar to the living snake in Shigu Forest? What happened to it?"

"The more information you actively or passively receive, the thinner your self will become. In the end, you will either become indifferent and have nothing to do with your original self, or you will have to find ways to do it like a living snake. Earthly divides the redundant information and protects the original self by forgetting.”

White Snake Sage licked Uzumaki Naruto's face with a long forked snake kiss, and said to him meaningfully:

"The reason why the old toad's memory has become so bad is not entirely because it has become too old...and this kind of thing is no longer something out of reach for you and Lian. , but never forget to prepare in advance, Uzumaki Naruto."

"what are you saying?"

Uzumaki Naruto subconsciously replied such a sentence.

"I didn't say anything. You will know it yourself when the time comes."

White Snake Sennin glanced with interest at Uzumaki Naruto, whose character was far less mature than Kaguya Rei, and began to close his eyes to perceive the "now" information about Ji Xian.
