Chapter 255:
Orochimaru had always known about Ryūchi Cave and had gathered some information regarding its significance.
However, he had no knowledge of its internal workings.
Three women acting as part of Ryūchi Cave's hierarchy? And Manda obediently following their orders?
What kind of setup was this?
None of this had ever appeared in any of the information Orochimaru had collected.
Still, after living in the ninja world for so long, Orochimaru had grown accustomed to relying on what he saw and heard firsthand to judge any situation.
He knew the general details about Ryūchi Cave but had never set foot inside until now.
No matter. Once he observed it himself, everything would become clear.
From Orochimaru's perspective, the three women he had encountered earlier each embodied distinct archetypes: one was a child-like girl, another carried the demeanor of a dignified older sister, and the last seemed to have the refined grace of a married woman.
