Chapter 53: Ryūchi Cave

Chapter 53: Ryūchi Cave

Did the Uchiha kid I beat up today really awaken his Sharingan?

Was it because... of the Thousand Years of Death?

Toneri didn't doubt the truth of Orochimaru's words.

No wonder, after skipping school and dismissing his shadow clone, the Uchiha clan hadn't come after him.

In reality, the situation was far more complex than he imagined.

The incident had even alarmed the Uchiha clan leader!

---

The Uchiha clan's strength, as everyone knew, heavily relied on their infamous Sharingan. However, not every Uchiha could awaken it. In fact, those who did were considered invaluable assets to the clan.

For years, the Uchiha had struggled to pinpoint the exact conditions for awakening the Sharingan, often resorting to passive acceptance of its irregular activation.

This time, though, under Toneri's "stimulus," Yoshinari—a kid with no signs of awakening—had suddenly opened his Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan erupted in excitement.

Their clan leader personally approached the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, requesting assistance in understanding the event.

Although the Uchiha were gradually being sidelined by Konoha's leadership, they were still loyal to the village. Given the current instability in the ninja world, Konoha couldn't afford to alienate their largest and most powerful clan.

Hiruzen took their request seriously. However, he also considered the potential consequences: if the Uchiha discovered a reliable method for awakening the Sharingan, what would happen to Konoha's power balance?

Thus, after analyzing the situation, Hiruzen concluded that Yoshinari's awakening was likely a result of intense emotional stimulation, not Toneri's unique technique.

While Toneri's move was indeed... unconventional, it wasn't some miraculous taijutsu technique.

Even the Uchiha clan leader suspected as much. But due to pressure from the clan elders, he felt compelled to confirm the matter with Hiruzen.

As a result, the dramatic "clan elders confront the rogue student" scenario Toneri had expected never happened.

In fact, Yoshinari was being closely studied by the Uchiha clan rather than allowed to rest.

Orochimaru had learned of this through Hiruzen, who had also tasked him with confirming if such a taijutsu technique could genuinely assist in awakening the Sharingan.

Seeing Toneri's expression, Orochimaru immediately concluded: this guy had just gotten lucky.

---

"Let's see how your training has progressed," Orochimaru said, taking off his lab coat.

Toneri's eyes lit up.

It seemed Orochimaru wanted to test the growth of his skills, especially the three C-rank jutsu he'd been assigned.

At Orochimaru's prompting, Toneri demonstrated each technique.

"Your Flame Bullet shows promise in terms of power, but you've sacrificed speed. The strength of the technique lies in its compactness, which enhances both its speed and impact.

"For the Water Prison Jutsu, focus on improving the stability of the water surface—it'll make the prison harder to break.

"Your Earth Wall Jutsu is the best of the three. Its speed and defensive strength are commendable given your current level."

Orochimaru's evaluation was fair and constructive, and Toneri committed the advice to memory.

Of the three, he had indeed practiced the Earth Wall Jutsu the most, valuing its defensive capabilities.

---

"What's holding you back the most is your chakra control," Orochimaru continued. "Tsunade mentioned this as well.

"This scroll contains a jutsu that should help you improve. It's also something you've been eager to learn."

Handing Toneri the scroll, Orochimaru stepped back, watching as the boy's face lit up.

On the scroll was written: Summoning Jutsu.

---

The Summoning Jutsu—a C-rank technique—had been on Toneri's wish list for a while. He had previously asked Orochimaru about it, but his teacher had insisted he first master the three jutsu already assigned.

Seeing Toneri's excitement, Orochimaru chuckled softly, his tongue flicking out.

"I know why you're so eager to learn this technique," he said. "While the Summoning Jutsu is considered C-rank, its applications are vast. But be cautious—start with simple summons. Some situations may be beyond your control."

Toneri tensed at the warning, but Orochimaru elaborated further.

---

"Summoning techniques can be divided into two categories: blood-based summoning and non-blood summoning.

"Non-blood summoning is rare and something you won't encounter for now.

"Blood-based summoning, however, can be classified into five types:

"1. Animal Summoning: This involves summoning ordinary animals with unique traits. Once tamed, they can assist in combat.

"2. Ninja Beast Summoning: These are animals trained from a young age in ninja skills, often marked with a forehead protector. Such summons are costly to raise.

"3. Clan-Based Summoning: This involves forming a contract with an entire species or group, often with significant power. For instance, my snake summons come from my contract with Ryūchi Cave.

"4. Item Summoning: This allows you to summon marked tools and weapons by expending chakra.

"5. Human Summoning: You don't need to worry about this one for now."

Orochimaru's explanation was thorough, far more enlightening than anything Toneri could've figured out on his own.

This—this was what a teacher should be like!

---

"Based on the amount of chakra input, you can summon different levels of creatures," Orochimaru added. "Of course, this only applies to large clans like those from the summoning sanctuaries.

"My summons, as you know, come from the snakes of Ryūchi Cave.

"Toneri-kun, would you like to try forming a contract with them?"

Toneri froze for a moment.

Ryūchi Cave?

One of the Three Great Sanctuaries, alongside Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest!

Realizing what this meant, Toneri quickly nodded.

This was Ryūchi Cave—of course, he wanted to try!

Orochimaru smiled, licking his lips. "As I expected, you already know a bit about Ryūchi Cave, don't you?"

Toneri's heart skipped a beat.

Was this a test?

Scratching the back of his head awkwardly, he replied, "I did some research after seeing your snake summons. I know about the Three Great Sanctuaries, but I don't know where Ryūchi Cave is."

Orochimaru gave him a knowing look, one that sent chills down Toneri's spine.

"Ryūchi Cave requires a trial to form a contract," Orochimaru explained. "The difficulty of the trial depends on your strength."

Toneri immediately regretted giving it his all during the earlier demonstration. If only he'd held back!

Before he could dwell on his mistake, Orochimaru placed a cold hand on his shoulder.

"One more thing about the Summoning Jutsu—it works both ways. Summoned creatures can also summon their contractor."

Poof—

In a cloud of smoke, Toneri felt the ground vanish beneath him.

When he landed again, the world spun around him.

"Summoning sickness is normal," Orochimaru said dismissively. "You'll get used to it."

As Toneri's vision steadied, he found himself in a dark, ominous cave. Snakes of all sizes slithered along the walls, their tongues flicking out menacingly.

In front of him stood a massive snake, its body as thick as a tree trunk.

"Is this the boy you've brought to Ryūchi Cave for a contract?" the snake asked, its voice hissing.

Orochimaru, uncharacteristically respectful, nodded. "Yes, Elder Hime. This is Toneri, my student."

The snake transformed before Toneri's eyes, its body shifting into a humanoid form—a striking, otherworldly girl with pale skin, golden slit-pupil eyes, and dark blue hair.

She circled Toneri, inspecting him.

"This one seems promising," she murmured. "If he fails the trial, at least he'll make a decent meal."

Toneri's eyes widened in alarm. What?!
