The exchange of intelligence and materials is the best solution when there is no certainty and no need to fight the enemy to the death.

If it weren't in Longdi Cave, Shuimu would like to try how powerful the White Snake Immortal is.

Being able to compete with Myobokusan for so many years must not be a false reputation.

But unfortunately, Shuimu is not on his side at the right time, in the right place and with the right people.

Although this place is only one step away from the Ninja World, it is indeed the home ground of the White Snake Sage.

The "Snake's Nest" has been in operation for who knows how many years. Who knows how many strange ancient traps are inside?

If they were inside the barrier formation that Mizuki had fully prepared, unless it was Uchiha Madara who was resurrected or the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki who came again, Mizuki would be confident that he could defeat anyone.

But now is not the time to have a quarrel with these big guys.

“Eh…”

The White Snake Immortal twisted its coiled body, leaned closer and looked at Shuimu and said.

"Just now there seemed to be a flash of murderous intent, but now I can't feel it. Can I assume that you want to compete with me?"

The golden vertical pupils stared at Shuimu without emotion. At the same time, the fangs in the grinning mouth were longer than Shuimu's height. A cold breath was transmitted to Shuimu from the huge head.

Shuimu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the huge butterfly wings behind him trembled slightly. He looked at the White Snake Immortal without showing any weakness, but without any intention of explaining.

"You seem a little confused as to why I don't know your emotions?"

The dry smile of the White Snake Immortal seemed even more terrifying.

"My tribe is a hunter that excels at concealment and ambush. Speed ​​and a single fatal strike are our specialties. We are good at seizing opportunities to attack, so how could we not be sensitive to the surrounding energy? Killing intent, fear, greed, curiosity... It's not easy to hide it from me."

"Are you born with keen perception and amazing intuition?"

Mizuki admitted reluctantly:

"Although I came to Ryuchi Cave on behalf of Konoha Village, I was not the one who proposed the deal. In this case, I would like to try to see who has the final say in the deal."

Mizuki didn't know how strong the Big Toad Sage and the White Snake Sage were, but comparing with the past, Mizuki roughly classified them as one level weaker than Nagato before his death.

Shuimu is not unable to cope with this strength comparison.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if you can't win, you have a great chance of escaping.

Even if he offended these sacred places of spiritual beasts, Shuimu felt that it was no big deal.

The power that determines the structure of the ninja world lies in the ninja village, and the summoning beast sanctuary can only play an indirect role.

Even the Sages Fukasaku and Shima did not stay in the Ninja World for long, and the Slug Sage could only project part of his power into the Ninja World through a special clone technique.

As for the Great Toad Sage of Myōboku Mountain and the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave, it may be difficult for them to even descend into the Ninja World.

"If you were in the ninja world, I would beat you to a dog brain... no, a snake brain!"

The White Snake Immortal, who had a bad temper, stared at Shuimu for a while.

"You are so brave. Even if Orochimaru is here, although he is a little curious, he still suppresses the greed in his heart. You are much more arrogant than him."

"Really... I thought I was very reserved and should be able to hide it well."

"I don't think you can compare to Orochimaru. But since he failed, you have made it here alive, so you naturally have your advantages..."

"Because I'm stronger than him!"

Shuimu is somewhat confident about this.

"That's true, but..."

The snake immortal retracted his stretched out body into the bed.

"Strength is something that is not strong enough to ignore everything and crush everything. Being a little stronger or weaker actually doesn't change anything!"

"I agree with this point. You are indeed a senior who has lived for who knows how many years!"

"I'll take this as a compliment!"

After wasting countless years, he could only hide in the dark Ryuchi Cave, and could not catch up with the influence of Myoboku Mountain on the ninja world. No matter how he looked at it, he did not seem to be successful. It was not a good feeling to be suppressed by his old enemy.

The snake immortal spit out the pipe in his mouth and said seriously:

"Well, first show me your bargaining chips... No, tell me your request first and see if I can do it!"

If it was Pharmacist Kabuto who was here, the White Snake Immortal would not have asked such unnecessary questions, but as for Shuimu, it would be too embarrassing if he really made a request that was impossible to fulfill.

"I want to know whether the Sage of Six Paths is dead or not!"

Shuimu's first question made the White Snake Immortal's eyes narrow slightly.

"Six Paths Sage? People in the ninja world can't even confirm his existence, how can you have such a doubt?"

Instead of questioning the authenticity of ancient myths, he went straight into the details and asked about the direction of events, which shows that he already knew many truths.

"Did that stinky toad tell you?"

"no."

Although Gamamaru was most likely born earlier than the Six Paths Sage, no matter how close his relationship with Konoha was, he would never reveal these things.

“Really?”

The White Snake Immortal said after thinking for a while.

"I originally thought you were already very capable, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you. Let's put this question aside for now. What else do you want to know?"

"The origin and history of Longdi Cave!"

"That's impossible, kid, don't push it too far."

The White Snake Immortal exhaled a puff of smoke, which carried an inexplicable breath, the White Snake Immortal's anger, and a little bit of panic, and shot towards Shuimu.

Shuimu showed no displeasure on his face, but flapped the wings behind him to resolve the angry act of the White Snake Immortal.

"Don't get too excited. You can't handle it. How can I ask you next?"

"Stop talking! Just based on the two questions just now, I doubt that you don't have the ability to pay the corresponding price."

"Really? That's a shame. It seems like it won't be that easy for us to get the other party to talk properly..."

"There is almost no room for negotiation on this matter. If you want to irritate me, just go ahead!"

If you want to destroy a country, you must first eliminate its history.

When you deeply and fully understand a race, you will either feel admiration for it or have the intention to destroy it.

Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This is not just talk. What’s more, Shuimu and these big snakes are not even of the same species.

"I've already said that if we don't clarify our positions as master and servant in the transaction, talking will only be a waste of time."

Facing the challenge of the White Snake Immortal, Shuimu would naturally not be careless. He had been playing the Immortal Mode alone with this fat and long white snake for who knows how many years. In the opponent's territory, Shuimu might not be better than it.

Even if he uses the complete tailed beast transformation, he may still be inferior in strength and size.

However, since he dared to come here, Shuimu was naturally somewhat confident.
