"Cool jade fingers, cheeks aflame, enchanting eyes that play the game"

"Softly singing, hearts to claim, twining tongues that leave their stain."

On the forest path, an intriguing little tune echoed, filling the air with a strange, uplifting melody.

The villager riding the cart found it quite amusing, adding some novelty to their otherwise monotonous journey.

On top of the cart shed, Kyosuke, chewing on a piece of dry grass, sighed.

"If it weren't for the Uchiha clan, I could have pursued a career as a singer."

One day, when he tires of being a ninja, he could join the music industry, showing those villagers what real rap sounds like. He could be the first ninja idol.

His personal interests: singing, dancing, rapping, and... killing.

"Wait a second, maybe killing isn't exactly the best fit for an idol persona."

Looking at the blue sky, Kyosuke took a deep breath, feeling a rare sense of relaxation.

After crossing into the world of Naruto, his life had been filled with constant killing, and he had almost forgotten what normal life should feel like.

During the critical moment when the Uzumaki clan's forces were migrating, and the Uchiha were gathering to face the Senju, Kyosuke leisurely made his way to the northernmost part of the Land of Fire.

The journey to find the Kusanagi Sword was proving to be much more difficult than he had anticipated.

The map only provided a rough location, so to find the hidden cave entrance, he would have to explore it bit by bit.

Fortunately, with Shadow Clones, Kyosuke didn't have to do the work himself.

Speaking of which, Shadow Clones were the best way to slack off.

Even someone like Naruto, who mastered the Sexy Jutsu, could be useful in certain situations.

cough! cough!

Kyosuke rolled over, spat out the dry grass in his mouth, and decided to take a nap before continuing.

The cart driver was a local from a nearby village. He had gone out hunting and encountered a giant bear over three meters tall.

If Kyosuke hadn't happened to pass by, the driver would have been killed by the bear.

After talking with the driver, Kyosuke learned the information he needed.

He was told that there was indeed a cave in the area, and it was considered a forbidden place by the villagers.

The cave was located in an area where no animals could be seen for miles around. It was rumored that any living creature that entered was killed by some kind of monster.

The village had once issued a request for help, but even powerful ninjas, seemingly like gods, had disappeared without a trace.

Since then, the area had become a forbidden place, and no one dared to venture in.

The cart driver advised him not to take the risk, but Kyosuke wasn't the type to be scared off by some old legends.

In fact, he was now even more intrigued.

As a storage site for the legendary Kusanagi Sword, the mysterious cave was bound to have something extraordinary, or else it would be quite a disappointment.

As for the danger?

Well, sorry, but with the Flying Thunder God technique in his possession, there were very few things in the ninja world that could pose a real threat to him.

Soon, the Shadow Clones sent back their memories, and they successfully found the exact location of the cave entrance.

"Thanks, old man."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyosuke vanished from the top of the cart shed.

The driver stood alone, shivering as he looked at the empty roof. Before long, another eerie tale would surely be spreading around the village.

A ghostly figure who sings inappropriate songs.

At the entrance of the cave, Kyosuke immediately felt a tightening in his muscles.

"This is interesting," he thought, sensing an unusual threat nearby.

Tightening his grip on the weapon at his waist, he stepped into the cave, feeling as if he were entering the mouth of some mysterious giant beast.

Following his instincts, Kyosuke ventured deeper, only to realize that the cave was far larger than he had imagined.

"This vast space... there might be some kind of large summoning beast hidden here," he thought.

As he pondered, he didn't notice the shadow quietly following him from above.

What was strange was that the shadow seemed to float in the air.

While Kyosuke was lost in thought, the shadow moved silently, drawing closer to him like a falling leaf.

"Heh, such a delicate little guy," the snake woman, Tagorihime said as she bared her sharp fangs, preparing to swallow the person below her whole.

Just as she was about to strike, a sharp, screeching noise suddenly filled the entire cave.

Kyosuke leaped into the air, drawing his Chidori blade, and with a flash of lightning, he slashed upward at the snake woman.

Swish!

Facing the incoming deadly strike, Tagorihime calmly raised her arm and, to Kyosuke's surprise, managed to block the Chidori blade with her flesh.

The Chidori blade was said to be an unstoppable cutting technique, sharper than even wind-based jutsu at the same level.

Even the legendary Seven Ninja Swords couldn't withstand its cutting power, but this snake woman—who appeared to have a humanoid form—was able to resist it with such remarkable skin hardness.

Wait... a snake woman?!

Kyosuke suddenly realized something.

This couldn't possibly be the Ryuchi Cave, could it?!

The Ryuchi Cave was a mysterious sage region, on par with Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myōboku.

The three sage regions—Snakes, Frogs, and Slug—were each governed by different groups.

The founder of the Ryuchi Cave was a giant White Sage Snake who had lived since the era of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Everything that happened here would be heard by the White Snake Sage, a terrifyingly powerful being.

If you weren't at the Six Paths level, you had to be at least an elite S-rank ninja to challenge such a presence.

Dealing with Kyosuke now would be child's play.

As for this snake woman in front of him, she was likely a high-ranking member of the Dragon Cave, comparable in status to the two sages of Myoboku Mountain.

Under the influence of his Sharingan, Kyosuke could feel the overwhelming chakra within her body, as if it was about to burst forth.

The most troublesome part was that she could also use Sage Mode chakra, which was why her scales could resist his Chidori blade.

While he was thinking, the snake woman swiftly evaded his blade, and without moving her body, her neck suddenly elongated.

"Die!"

She hissed, looking furious as she lunged at him.

With the help of Sage Mode chakra, her attack tore into Kyosuke's body.

But instead of blood spilling, only bright lightning flashed from his form.

Lightning release: Shadow Clone Technique!

"Ah!"

Tagorihime screamed in agony.

Not only did she fail to catch him, but she also ended up chewing on a mouthful of lightning. Her anger grew to the breaking point.

Suddenly, Kyosuke reappeared, and with full power, a Chidori thrust directly at her chest.

Sage Art: Inorganic Reanimation!

Without any chakra fluctuations, the surrounding stone walls seemed to come alive, rapidly turning into a deadly trap that pierced him from every direction.

Boom!

Fortunately, that was another Shadow Clone.

"Bloodline of the Shinobi clan"

Tagorihime said coldly, her body beginning to change in strange ways.

Knowing time-space ninjutsu would be futile here—because in the Ryuchi Cave, escaping was impossible.

At the cave entrance, Kyosuke's expression darkened slightly.

It wasn't because his two Shadow Clones had been destroyed, but because he suddenly realized that he could no longer sense the spatial coordinates of the outside world.

What did this mean?

It meant he had already been separated from his original space.

No one knew where the real Ryuchi Cave was, but it was certainly not in the same dimension as the ninja world.
