Yusuke didn't know where the map was, but it gave him confidence.
Even if he gets nothing from the basement, he can still go to the place marked on the map.
However, after searching the entire basement, they only found a few words about Longdi Cave. For example, Longdi Cave was located "between fantasy and reality", so they needed a certain amount of luck to find it.
"What to do with these things?"
When he was about to leave, Jugo pointed to the culture bottles containing the first and second generation Hokage cells and said.
"Put it here first?"
Yusuke already has the first-generation cells, and the importance of the second-generation Hokage's cells, at least in his mind, is not as important as Jugo's cells.
After leaving Orochimaru's collection room, Yusuke began to prepare for going to the location on the map.
A lot of food is needed, so it's best to bring some military food pills, and then buy clothes for Chongwu.
After everything was prepared, the two of them stopped by Otogakure Village and said hello to Kimimaro.
Kimimaro was surprised by the two people's preparations to find Ryūchi Cave, but considering Jugo's physical condition, he could still understand what the two were doing, but he was pessimistic about whether their trip would be successful.
"Jugo has been following Lord Orochimaru for a long time, and Orochimaru still hasn't improved Jugo's condition after going to Ryūchi Cave. Do you think you can do that?"
Zhongwu's nerves were tense and he lowered his head.
"I don't think the problem is big." Yusuke was very confident in Jugo.
In the original work, Jugo's control over his emotions improved a lot after following Sasuke, which shows that he still has room for improvement.
As for the possibility Kimimaro mentioned, Yusuke speculated that Orochimaru might have never thought about it - he just regarded Jugo as a tool.
When Yusuke was about to say goodbye to Kimimaro, Kimimaro told him a slightly unexpected news - Otogakure Village was preparing to cooperate with Konoha Village.
"This..." Yusuke almost thought he heard wrongly.
Although in the comics, Otogakure will also participate in the Chunin Exam held by Konoha Village, but with Orochimaru dead, Otogakure took the initiative to cooperate. This plan was unexpected by Yusuke.
After all, that time Otogakure took the Chunin Exam because Orochimaru had plans for Konoha Village. But now, he doesn't believe Kimimaro has the ability to target Konoha Village at all.
"After all, it's difficult for Otogakure Village to survive alone, right? It has to have a good relationship with the Great Ninja Village." Kimimaro, who looked sick, forced a smile.
Obviously, he has put the future of Otoyin Village on his shoulders.
Yusuke nodded and patted his shoulder gently, "Take care."
After separating from Kimimaro, Yusuke and Jugo set out again.
According to the introduction of Longdi Cave in the animation, it is a place where "reality and illusion" are combined.
After all, he is an immortal, so he must have some character.
Therefore, whether they can find Longdi Cave, in addition to whether they find the place, also depends on whether the immortal is willing to see them.
Chongwu touched his backpack and saw that the food in it was empty. He looked around again. Apart from mountains and trees, there was no other scenery. Sometimes he even had to climb several hills in order to find water to drink.
"Master Yusuke, haven't we arrived at Ryuji Cave yet?" Jugo looked at Yusuke who was walking swiftly, and he also picked up his energy and tried his best to follow Jugo.
He couldn't imagine that Chonggo looked very weak - at least compared to him - but his physical strength seemed to be much better than his.
"Are you going to die?" Yusuke turned around and asked.
"Of course not." Zhongwu shook his head quickly.
Grain bite
"Then keep going forward. However, I want to remind you that the place marked on this map may not be Ryuji Cave." Yusuke waved the map in his hand.
"But, there is always a specific place on the map, right? If this continues, when will we get there?" Chonggo said depressedly.
"The map marks the entire mountain, but it doesn't say clearly where the mark is," Yusuke explained.
"Orochimaru is lying to us?"
"If this map is placed in the most conspicuous place, we may be deceived, but this map is sandwiched in a book cover, so it is unlikely to appear in this situation. Moreover, Orochimaru is a person who studies cells. He has always been rigorous in doing things. The reason why he made such a general mark is probably because the location of this place is difficult to determine. After all, it exists 'between fantasy and reality'."
The location of "Yongji Cave" is indeed rather mysterious, because people who go to Yongji Cave are usually under the spell of illusions. Even if they can pass the test, they end up in Yongji Cave in confusion.
However, after going there for the first time, if you can still come back alive, it should be easier to go a second time.
Kabuto once mentioned this in the manga.
Zhongwu nodded and was about to continue asking when he suddenly felt as if his eyes were covered with a fine veil.
"It's foggy!?" Chongwu said in surprise.
Yusuke nodded, but his face became more solemn.
Sure enough, the place marked on that map was Longdi Cave.
It was slightly mentioned in the animation, and the situation shown was somewhat similar to this moment.
"Are there any more Bingliang Pills?" Yusuke asked.
Zhongwu touched his pocket, "Also, do you want it?"
Yusuke shook his head.
The two people continued to walk forward, the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and the visual range was only two or three meters away. Every few steps, they had to pay attention to whether they were taking the wrong road.
Jugo followed Yusuke closely, but looked to both sides, but in the thick fog, it was difficult to find objects that could be marked.
Accidentally, Zhongwu tripped over a stone. After staggering two steps, he frowned and looked behind him. The stone that tripped him had disappeared into the mist.
Jugo frowned, becoming increasingly alert: "Master Yusuke, why do I feel that this place is so strange?"
"There may be immortals living here, how could it not be strange?" Yusuke said.
"No, no, no..." Zhongwu shook his head, "I mean, this fog came at the wrong time, and besides, I always feel like I'm being watched."
Yusuke was stunned and looked at Jugo in surprise.
This guy is really sensitive.
After the smoke rose, the immortals of Longdi Cave had already begun to test them. Whether they could see the White Snake Immortal depended on whether they could pass the test.
"Anyway, be careful. If you feel your body can't bear it anymore, just take a soldier's food pill." Yusuke reminded.
Zhongwu nodded, focusing his attention on whether there was anything strange appearing around him.
After an unknown amount of time, Chongwu's body became tired from the long journey. He was about to take out the Bingliang Pills when suddenly he saw several lights appearing in front of him.
"Quick!" Yusuke warned, and he quickly ran towards the light.
Not to be outdone, Jugo followed Yusuke.
As the lights got closer and closer, a huge palace appeared in front of the two people, resplendent and magnificent. A plaque hung on the eaves of the palace with the three characters "Longdi Cave" written on it.
Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief, finally coming here.
