Chapter 65 Going to Ryūchidō (Ch 65)

At the negotiation table, even though Chiyo was so angry that she took blood pressure medication, she showed no intention of giving in on the issue of compensation.

The Sand Shinobi cannot defeat Konoha, but it’s not that they can’t fight. I want to see whether Konoha can hold out longer under the siege of other ninja villages or we, the Sand Shinobi. It’s just a matter of consumption, who’s afraid of who?

Konoha really can’t afford to waste time, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen also gave Jiraiya a time limit of only one month. After one month, even if the Sand Ninjas do not compensate, they will have to leave this battlefield and support other battlefields.

In this regard, Jiraiya could only say that he had done his best. After all, the old guy Chiyo was really difficult to deal with, even with the addition of Shikaku, who was his think tank.

During the one month of negotiations, it was only in the first two days that Yue Yan used the transformation technique to turn into Angel Yan to anger Chiyo, but this was because of Jiraiya’s teacher. After two days, no matter how much Jiraiya begged Yue Yan, and even used his most proud skill, the peeping technique that allowed him to roam the bushes of major bathhouses, as a deal, Yue Yan still did not agree.

You’re fucking hiding in the bushes and peeping at me. Do you think you need to peep at me with my face? I’ll be lucky if I’m not taken to the women’s bathroom after I get in.

After rejecting Jiraiya’s request, Yue Yan began to continue practicing. After all, he had not yet learned the Wet Bone Forest Sage Mode. He also had to go to Ryuchi Cave to sign a contract for a large enough snake. He had no time to listen to the Sand Ninjas and Konoha spitting at each other at the negotiation table. If they drew their swords and fought, perhaps Yue Yan could stay to watch the fun.

As for what to do if the Sand Ninjas launch a surprise attack after Yue Yan leaves, Yue Yan had already thought of this. He asked Xiaolan to stay. If anything happened, he could use the reverse summoning technique to summon Yue Yan back. It would take less than two minutes.

On this day, just after finishing his Sage Mode training in the Wet Bone Forest, Yue Yan dragged his bloody body to the shelter.

Raising his arm, whose muscle tissue had been corroded by acid rain to the point where blood-red could be clearly seen, Yue Yan looked at the skin that had begun to grow.

Compared to the first time when the acid rain corroded the body to the point where the bones were visible, the ever-increasing recovery ability has meant that the acid rain can only corrode the skin.

At this time, hundreds of small slugs swarmed out from under Yue Yan’s feet, completely wrapping him up and helping Yue Yan recover faster.

“Xiao Yueyan, I am really impressed by your affinity with natural energy. I guess it won’t be long before you can complete the training of Sage Mode.”

“This is all thanks to the guidance and help of Sister Slug.”

Half an hour later, Yue Yan walked out from the slug group and came to the mirror to look at himself.

The skin that had become yellow and weathered due to the war was corroded by acid rain, and the new skin was as delicate and fair as that of a newborn baby. Coupled with Yue Yan’s already delicate face, it is no exaggeration to say that her smile is very charming.

But this is definitely not what Yue Yan wants. Which grown man has a face like this? No, when the time comes, I will go to the desert to tan some water and get a little darker. Then, people will not recognize me as a woman anymore.

Sensing that Yue Yan’s mood seemed not right, a little slug crawled to the top of Yue Yan’s head and swung its little tentacles slowly.

“Is there something wrong with Xiao Yueyan?”

“Sister Slug, what do you think of my face?” Yue Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

Hearing this, the little slug’s tentacles on its head bent into question marks and spoke in confusion.

“A very delicate and pretty face, a cute little girl who looks like a porcelain doll.”

Yue Yan: …

Upon hearing this, Yue Yan was filled with resentment, to the point where he couldn’t use up even after filming three more movies of The Grudge. Even the little slug could feel it.

Before the little slug could ask any questions, Yue Yan said faintly, “Sister Slug, do you still remember that I am a boy?”

“Uh…” The slugs knew what Yue Yan was concerned about. The main reason was that Yue Yan was so handsome. Even they subconsciously thought that Yue Yan was a girl.

“Xiao Yueyan, don’t worry about your appearance.”

Hearing this, Yue Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

“How can I not care? After all… Hey, forget it. I hope my face will change when I grow up.” Yue Yan muttered softly. “Even if I become more neutral and called a gigolo, it’s fine. After all, a gigolo can be seen as male at a glance. It’s better than being forced to become a pervert every time I go to a public toilet.”

Well, if a boy mistakenly enters the girls’ restroom, he will be called a pervert. If a girl mistakenly enters the boys’ restroom, the boy will still be called a pervert.

After leaving the Wet Bone Forest and returning to the front-line camp, Yue Yan said hello to Xiaolan who was still practicing hard, then used his spiritual power once again and went to the Longdi Cave.

Cold, damp, and dark.

When Yue Yan saw the surroundings clearly, these two words were the only ones in his mind.

“It was almost shaking, otherwise I would have thought I had traveled through time again.”

After Yue Yan complained subconsciously, he began to explore.

The surrounding irregular and rugged stone walls, the air mixed with soil, moisture and a unique smell of reptiles. Above hung stalagmites of varying sizes, and occasionally there was the sound of a drop of water breaking on the ground. A few candles hung on the stone walls, emitting a single and weak light.

Yue Yan looked around as he walked forward.

Suddenly, Yue Yan’s eyes blurred and a wide space appeared in front of him. In the center were all kinds of gold, silver, and treasures, as well as various ninjutsu scrolls.

Is this… an illusion?

Seeing this scene, Yue Yan narrowed his eyes and instantly turned on the wind and thunder mode, allowing lightning to quickly fill his body and accelerate his nerve reflexes.

General illusions are mainly performed through vision, touch, hearing, etc. The way to break them is to disrupt the body’s chakra or use pain to disrupt the current thinking.

The Gale and Thunder mode makes Yue Yan immune to almost all illusions except for the bug-level illusion like Tsukuyomi in the original work.

However, even if the lightning speed mode was turned on, Yue Yan found that the environment in front of him had not changed.

Yue Yan couldn’t remember where he had seen it, but it seemed to say that after arriving at Ryuchi Cave, one would undergo the test of one of the three snake princesses, namely, Tanashimahime, Ichikishimahime, and Tsuzuhime. The illusion that suddenly appeared before his eyes should be that, but he didn’t know which snake princess it was.

And the illusion that even Yue Yan, who has activated the Gale and Thunder mode, cannot break may be an illusion that is enhanced by fairy magic.

But since it’s a test, just don’t be fooled.

Thinking of this, Yue Yan raised his right hand and condensed a thunder spear, intending to forcibly break the illusion in front of him.

After all, Yue Yan still didn’t know the limit of the illusion blessed by this magic, so the Thunder Spear released by Yue Yan this time consumed a lot of lightning.

In the dark, a beautiful girl with long green hair saw this, narrowed her fishy yellow eyes, and stared at the thunder spear in Yue Yan’s hand that had condensed to ten meters, and could not help but let out a click of the tongue.
