Chapter 167 White Snake Immortal, would you like a kaleidoscope?
An finally had time to learn the art of snake magic.
Since fleeing Konoha, he has been working to destroy the village.
Sowing discord between the two villages, dragging the Akatsuki into the scheme, pushing for the destruction of Konoha, causing trouble for Konoha, seeking revenge against Itachi and Obito, kidnapping tailed beasts, and threatening the Daimyo—
This series of actions continued without interruption; he was constantly on the go, never having a moment to rest.
Now everything is back on track, with the five major powers locked in a fierce battle, and none of them able to stop fighting.
The seeds of internal strife in Konoha Village have already been sown, and they are just waiting for time to take root and sprout.
There was no need for him to push anything further. He could simply watch quietly as Konoha was destroyed by various countries and the Land of Fire was divided up among them.
If something goes wrong along the way, he can then step in to correct the deviation.
So after spending a few days in the Land of Rain, Ann suddenly found herself with nothing to do.
Ordinary training no longer provides significant improvement. To achieve a substantial improvement, besides the "Rinnegan," the only other option is the "Snake Sage Technique."
So after making some simple arrangements, he took out the summoning scroll that Orochimaru had given him, wrote his name on it, and made a hand seal.
After a puff of white smoke, a large snake appeared in front of him.
"Are you the Uchiha An that Orochimaru mentioned?" The giant snake stared with its golden vertical pupils, looking him up and down.
An casually tossed the few bandits he had captured to the giant snake, and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you. Here's a little gift for you. Please accept it."
"Haha, what an interesting person!" The giant snake immediately became happy, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed the bandits whole, one by one.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to be grateful," and after receiving the gift, the giant snake immediately became much more friendly.
"My name is Ring Snake. I've heard Orochimaru mention you before."
"So you want to learn the 'Snake Sage Technique,' is that right?"
"That's right, please lead the way!"
The ringed snake nodded, canceled the summoning spell, and returned to Ryuchi Cave. A moment later, it used the reverse summoning spell to summon Ann.
This space-time ninjutsu is indeed quite amazing; with just a blink of an eye, you can switch to another dimension.
Before he could even open his eyes, the damp, fishy smell had already entered An's nostrils.
It was the cold, fishy smell of decaying leaves rubbing against snake scales, mixed with the rusty smell seeping from the ancient rock crevices, weaving a sticky net in the air.
An frowned, looked around, and saw that he was standing in front of a huge cave.
Unlike the fairyland-like natural scenery of Mount Myoboku, Ryūchi-dong is buried deep underground and is dark all year round.
The ceiling was an endless expanse of dark purple, with jagged stalactites resembling inverted fangs. Every falling drop of water struck the puddles on the ground, creating a faint blue glow that illuminated the intertwined vines.
Those vines were no ordinary plants; the edges of their leaves were a poisonous fluorescent green, and when the wind blew, they made a hissing sound like a snake flicking its tongue, as if the entire cave were the bodies of living creatures.
At the entrance to the cave, a huge green snake was coiled up, its cold gaze fixed on him, its vertical pupils as clear as amber, yet devoid of any warmth.
"I'll only take you this far. From here on, you'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own. Whether you live or die depends entirely on your luck."
The ringed snake slithered out from behind the green snake, flicked its tail at An, and then turned and left.
"That's enough."
An strode forward, entering the cave step by step under the gaze of the green snake.
Perhaps because of the contract, the green snake did not stop him, but simply watched him disappear into the darkness.
Not far along, An heard the faint sound of jade pendants coming from deep within the cave.
Looking in the direction of the sound, An saw a tall and magnificent castle nestled among the rocks and vines in front of him. The interior was brightly lit, unlike the damp and dark Ryuchi Cave.
The castle gates were wide open, and a beautiful woman in ancient costume emerged from the shadows of the castle.
Her face was almost eerily beautiful, with the upturned corners of her eyes as alluring as snake pupils. She wore a spherical gold ornament on her forehead, and her hair was piled high, giving her a dignified and elegant appearance.
She wore a pure white shrine maiden outfit, the hem of which trailed on the ground, perfectly concealing the snake's tail.
Judging by her appearance alone, no one would believe that this beautiful woman is actually a ruthless and beautiful snake.
"I am Princess Tashin, and I have long admired your name, Lord An. I have come today to greet you. I have prepared delicious food and wine in the castle. Please come in and enjoy."
Princess Tianxin smiled sweetly, bowed very politely, and gestured for him to enter the castle.
"Heh heh—" An chuckled coldly, a kaleidoscope-like glint flashing in her eyes. She glanced at the castle before returning her gaze to Princess Tianxin, saying disdainfully, "Let's get straight to the point!"
"If you have any tests to test, just use them. Don't embarrass yourselves here with these illusions and such."
"No one is qualified to use genjutsu in front of the Uchiha, not even Ryuchi Cave."
"And those Ichikishima-hime and Takitsu-hime, bring them up too. My time is precious, I don't have time to waste."
"Is that so!" Princess Tianxin covered her cherry-like mouth with her hand, seemingly laughing.
But the next moment, her beautiful face stretched out rapidly and collapsed, her eyes turned into snake pupils, and a long snake tongue emerged from her gaping maw, licking her face.
"As expected of the most outstanding member of the Uchiha clan, they discovered it so quickly!"
"I heard that your kaleidoscope eye technique is 'prophecy'?"
"Is it really true?"
Seeing that An had seen through the illusion, Tianxin Shenji no longer maintained her human disguise and quickly transformed into a snake, revealing her true form.
Ryuchi Cave is incredibly boring. It's not easy for an interesting human to come to Ryuchi Cave, so we should at least give them a good hard time and play with them for a while.
Just as Tianxin Shenji was about to cause a few more troubles to make things difficult for Uchiha An, she was startled when An glared at her with his blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan. She couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
"Since you can recognize that this is an illusion, there is no need to conduct any tests."
"If your kaleidoscope eye technique is truly 'prophecy,' then the other trials are meaningless to you."
"I'll take you directly to see the White Snake Immortal."

With a slight sense of panic, she quickly turned around and swam deeper into the cave. The original palace vanished instantly, returning to its original dark and damp state.
The man and the snake moved quickly forward, and soon a magnificent pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters appeared in front of them. On it was a huge plaque with three large golden characters that read "Dragon Land Cave".
An used his Mangekyou Sharingan to take a look, and this time the building was no longer an illusion, before following Tianxin Shenji inside.
A kind-looking old lady was sitting in a chair in the middle of the pavilion. When she saw that Princess Tianxin had brought An over so easily, she couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The White Snake Immortal knew best what kind of personalities his snakes were; to say they were cruel and bloodthirsty was an understatement.
However, before she could speak, An asked first, "White Snake Immortal, would you like a kaleidoscope?"
"I'll give you a pair!"
