Drip …
Drip …
The sound of water droplets falling from the stalactites at the top of the cave echoed continuously in the dark and silent cave.
Walking in the cave, Naruto looked around and found that the fog in the cave was getting thicker and the visibility was getting lower and lower. Things beyond one or two meters could not be seen clearly.
Hinata timidly followed behind Naruto, his hand still clutching Naruto's sleeve tightly. His delicate little face was full of a nervous expression for fear of being separated from Naruto.
Naruto turned his head and smiled at Hinata, "It's okay, I'm here!"
"Yeah!"
Hinata nodded heavily.
After walking in the cave for a long time, Naruto, who could not help but ask the pharmacist Dou, who had been leading the way, "Brother Dou, where are we going?"
Dou pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "To a place where we can hide from the enemy!"
Through the previous Perceptive Ninjutsu, Dou found that the elite ninjas approaching this secret base, Chakra's amount were all elite Jonin level, so he immediately dismissed the idea of a head-on confrontation and directly took Naruto and Hinata to hide in the depths of the cave.
The reason why Orochimaru opened a secret base in this cave and placed the important hostage, the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki, here is not only because of the remote location of this cave, but also because this cave is connected to a secret realm that exists between reality and illusion, which is a natural refuge that can be used to avoid powerful enemies.
Dou had long been interested in everything in the depths of the cave, but without Orochi Maru's permission, he did not dare to act rashly. This time, the attack of foreign enemies gave him a reason to enter the depths of the cave to take refuge, so he did not hesitate to take Naruto and Hinata to the depths of the cave.
Not long after, the fog in the cave was so thick that it was hard to see clearly even if you were only separated by a body. Several people in it were completely surrounded by the thick fog, and Naruto and Hinata completely lost their sense of direction.
"Big … Big Brother Dou, how much longer do we have to walk?"
At this time, Naruto couldn't help but grab the sleeve of the front pocket like Hinata did.
Dou's expression was calm as he smiled. "We'll be there soon."
Naruto whispered, "You said the same thing just now, but it's been so long and they still haven't arrived!"
Douu turned around and glanced at Naruto. A glint flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly restrained. She smiled and asked, "Naruto, do you know why you can't learn the Doppelganger Technique?"
Naruto had always been concerned about this question and hurriedly asked, "Why?"
Dou said, "Because you're the son of a fox demon, you can't use Chakra like a normal person."
Dou, who had reached the level of Jonin and was proficient in medical ninjutsu, naturally saw that the Nine Tails in Naruto's body was the culprit that interfered with Naruto's normal performance of ninjutsu.
Naruto's expression fell again, and he pouted and said, "Then … then I'll never be able to learn the Doppelganger Technique?"
Dou seemed to be thinking about something and said slowly, "In fact, in addition to using Chakra, there is another way to perform ninjutsu, that is …"
"What is it? Big Brother Dou, tell me quickly! "
As soon as he heard that there was another way to learn ninjutsu, Naruto suddenly became spirited.
Looking at the depths of the fog, a strange smile appeared on his face. "That's the Immortal Technique!"
"Immortal Technique!?"
Naruto was slightly stunned. In the village, he had never heard of this word, even Sasuke, who always said some strange words, had never mentioned it.
"As long as you learn the Immortal Technique, you 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, and it's not impossible to become Naruto!"
Dou chuckled, and the corners of his mouth were also raised higher and higher.
Because of Jugo, Orochi Maru's research on natural energy had been very in-depth, and the 'Curse Seal' was the result of this research. However, because Orochi Maru had used the forbidden technique 'Undead Reincarnation' and changed his body, there was a certain problem with his physique, so there was some kind of obstacle in practicing the Immortal Technique.
In addition, practicing the Immortal Technique was very risky. Even the talented Orochi Maru did not have full confidence, so in the field of Immortal Technique, Orochi Maru fell into a dead end.
Dou was a person who lost himself, so he hoped to learn the Immortal Technique, so that he could become a reference for Orochi Maru to learn the Immortal Technique. Therefore, his fascination with the Immortal Technique grew day by day, and it was difficult to control.
Listening to Dou's narration, Naruto suddenly became distracted.
In his mind, he imagined that after he became Naruto, Sasuke would be respectful to him, and the villagers would cheer and praise him. As he thought about it, saliva unconsciously flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Dou, who was still waiting for Naruto to clamor about learning the Immortal Technique, saw that Naruto behind him did not say anything for a long time. He became suspicious and quickly looked back, just in time to see Naruto daydreaming with saliva dripping from his mouth. Dou's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "What a heartless little fellow. Is it really useful to let him try to practice the Immortal Technique first …"
At this time, Naruto also came back to his senses, and muttered, "Brother Dou, I want to learn the Immortal Technique, quickly teach me the Immortal Technique!"
Dou shook his head, "I'm sorry, I don't know the Immortal Technique."
"Ah?" Naruto was disappointed, and asked again, "Then who can teach me the Immortal Technique? Sensei Orochi Maru? "
Dou shook his head again, "Lord Orochi Maru doesn't know the Immortal Technique either!"
Naruto was taken aback, "Even a ninja as powerful as Sensei Orochi Maru doesn't know the Immortal Technique?"
"In the Ninja World, there are very few ninjas who have mastered the Immortal Technique. I'm afraid no one can guide you." After a slight pause, Dou looked at a towering cave door that was faintly visible in the fog in front of him, and said with a yearning face, "But I know where I can practice the Immortal Technique."
"Where can I practice the Immortal Technique?"
Naruto's eyes widened, and he asked doubtfully. There was no doubt that Dou had successfully aroused his interest in the Immortal Technique.
Dou, who had been moving forward in the fog, suddenly stopped.
Naruto, who was following closely behind, bumped into Dou, then rubbed his head and complained, "Brother Dou, why did you suddenly stop?"
Dou looked at the cave door in front of him, lost in thought, and murmured, "We're here."
Naruto poked his head out from behind Dou, looked at the simple and towering cave door in front of him, and asked, "Hey, what is this place?"
Hinata, who was holding Naruto's sleeve, recognized the three big words above the cave door, and said softly, "Ryuchi Cave."
"Ryuchi Cave?" Naruto scratched his head and asked, "What kind of place is Ryuchi Cave? Why do people live in such a remote cave? It's really strange! "
Dou smiled, "This is the place where you can learn the Immortal Technique, and when did I say that people live here are human?"
