Is Chapter 211 finally here?
Chapter 211 Have we finally arrived?
The vast forests of the Land of Fire are so large that even a whole family couldn't be found hiding there, let alone a single person.
Even the Aburame clan or the Inuzuka clan, whose ninjutsu is better at reconnaissance, are of no use.
When Takita left, he may have concealed his presence, leaving no trace. Because he is a member of the Hagoromo clan, he is naturally better able to hide himself and blend into the natural environment.
Therefore, neither Madara and his Uchiha clan, nor the Inuzuka and Aburame clans could find any useful information.
The Feathered Robe Clan themselves are well aware that although their clan leader is young, his physical talent is undoubtedly the most outstanding among the Feathered Robe Clan members they have seen in recent years.
So when Takita wanted to leave quietly, they had no way of finding him.
"Honestly! None of them are any peace of mind!"
Ban punched a tree in frustration, but then felt he shouldn't blame anyone.
He could not care too much about Naoki before, but Takita is different. He is an important person in the village. Even if he is not emotional, he cannot completely ignore him after spending so much time together.
"Clan leader, should we continue searching?" A member of the Uchiha clan, his Sharingan red, asked tentatively.
"Looking? Let's not look anymore, we won't find it."
Ban shook his head, then looked at the dark clouds on the horizon and sighed softly.
It's probably impossible to find him now. I just hope Takita understands what he's doing and comes back safely in the end...
The news had just reached Yan Yi's ears in Konoha Village.
"Takita...?"
Yan Yi frowned, trying to recall the story related to this person, but unfortunately, he had no information about this person at all.
Itama's reaction was even stronger than Yan Yi's. He was now full of anxiety, and a particularly strange and uncomfortable feeling welled up in his heart.
"Yan Yi, you don't remember Takita? He is...?"
Itama got stuck; he didn't know how to describe their relationship to Yan Yi.
Should I lie? Should I tell Yan Yi their past story?
All of Yan Yi's memories resided in Itama's mind, and he was well aware of the special feelings Takita once had for Yan Yi. Even from his own perspective, he felt that the boy was truly...sincere? At least, that was how it seemed to Yan Yi.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Itama took a deep breath and spoke again.
"He used to like you, but... from what I know, although he's given up..."
Itama felt something stuck in his throat, preventing him from saying anything more.
"But what? Ah, did he ever like me?" Yan Yi was startled, and now he was even more confused.
"He's our friend...we need to find him..."
With his head down, Itama whispered the last sentence, a sentence he himself found extremely annoying.
He was sincere. He never thought Takita was annoying; he only hated himself. However, he also felt that he hadn't done anything wrong. It was just that everything that had happened before always made him feel a strange sense of guilt.
It's like... I stole Yan Yi away, but the other person got nothing in return.
Even if no one else thinks that way, and Takita himself certainly wouldn't, Itama, with his perceptive nature, can't help but subconsciously assume it...
Yan Yi looked at Itama with concern, unsure of what to say. From his perspective, Itama looked to be in great pain.
In that instant, Itama thought of many things, mostly random thoughts. He even wondered if the series of blows had led Takita to make such a dangerous decision.
In truth, is it really none of my business that led to this outcome?
"Banban, I don't know what you're thinking, but you're right. He must be a very important friend to me, so we should go find him."
Yan Yi shook her head, grabbed Ban Jian's hand, and suddenly pulled him close, hugging him tightly.
Itama shuddered, but quickly relaxed.
Looking into the pure, dark eyes of the black-haired boy, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, it was only then that Itama suddenly realized something.
"Ah, indeed... I was overthinking it."
Itama finally smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
In any case, Yan Yi is the most important person to me now, and it must be the same for Yan Yi.
Am I being a little too... obsessive?
But if we're looking for Takita... how do we find him? Itama doesn't know, he can only pray that his older brother can find some useful information.
......
While Konoha was mobilizing its forces to search for Takita, this boy had stopped and looked back towards Konoha Village countless times.
He knew Ah Kuan's character all too well; if he knew Ah Kuan was going to find the Holy Land, he would never allow himself to leave home, even if it meant death.
He knew everyone was worried about him, and the guilt in his heart was almost overflowing.
But now that we've started and come this far, we can't give up.
Whether it's his family, his village, his companions, or even the future... there are still so many places where he needs strength, and he can no longer hide under the protection of others.
Looking at the yellowed, worn-out blueprints in his hand, Takita looked up again to observe the direction.
"This is the last barrier..."
Following the map's directions, Takita walked back and forth around several boulders in sequence. These boulders appeared normal, but they concealed a unique ninjutsu...
No, it would be more appropriate to call it magic.
This place, which is invisible and intangible, and where even the fluctuations of chakra are faint and imperceptible, is one of the necessary routes to Ryuchi Cave.
He didn't know if there was any other way to enter that realm, but at least the things his family had left behind seemed to be the "official" way to enter.
After circling around several times, Takita observed the surrounding environment again. Surprisingly, the scenery seemed to have changed a lot. The once lush forest of giant trees was gradually shrouded in mist.
Touching the stones beside him, he slowly moved forward in one direction. Even if he didn't know where he had been teleported to, according to the prompts... he should already be outside the Land of Fire.
The stone array had, without him even noticing, quietly led him to another location...
Takita was no longer surprised by this kind of teleportation; he had already teleported six times along the way, and this was the seventh.
The forest in front of me seemed to have shrunk, and the sky was almost invisible through the trees.
The bushes grew denser and denser, eventually becoming so dark that they completely blocked out the already limited light from the horizon.
The thick fog lingered... The temperature around me had dropped a few degrees. The stone I was holding onto seemed a little damp; upon closer inspection, I realized it was covered in a fine layer of water droplets...
"Are we almost there...?"
Takita looked tense and swallowed hard. Skilled at sensing changes in his surroundings, Takita could clearly perceive the increasingly eerie atmosphere in the air.
It's not just psychological; this place really does have a... eerie atmosphere.
hiss--
The sounds of cold-blooded animals rang out at Takita's feet, startling him so much that he quickly took a step back.
A dark snake slithered quickly away from the dead leaves at my feet and disappeared into the cracks in the surrounding rocks.
"Ugh... this place is really..." Takita felt a chill. He didn't particularly like these creatures, but thankfully he wasn't too afraid of them either.
The further he went, the more clearly he could hear the snakes crawling and flicking their tongues, but he never stopped walking.
According to records... the immortal of Ryūchi Cave seems to be... a white snake that has become a spirit?
He didn't think too much about it, but when he walked up to a stone tablet with flamboyant calligraphy, covered in moss and severely eroded by dew, he finally stopped.
The stone tablet looked quite old, and several brightly colored venomous snakes were coiled around it, but the ancient characters were still clearly visible...
"Ryuchi Cave...have we finally arrived...?"
Takita took a deep breath and looked up to find that he had unknowingly walked into a huge, open cave.
The cave is very tall, resembling a giant python with its mouth wide open. This strange and unique cave structure makes it difficult to tell whether one has entered the cave.
Only when you get closer do you realize that you've already entered a cave...
