“elder brother!”

“bright!”

Just when Hatake Akira was thinking about how to fully launch the training process, he suddenly heard two excited shouts in his ears.

“Kakashi, Sensei.”

Hatake Akira responded. Judging from the current appearance of Hatake Kakashi and Namikaze Minato, they probably had just returned from practicing the fairy technique at Myoboku Mountain.

It was the first time that the three of them, who hadn’t seen each other for nearly a year, got together, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.

After finding a relatively secluded place, the three of them sat cross-legged and each told each other what they had seen and heard in the past year.

But it was basically Hatake who spoke, while Hatake Kakashi and Namikaze Minato listened quietly on the side.

After all, after the two came to Myoboku Mountain, they had nothing to do except practicing magic, so naturally there was not much new to share with Hatake Akira.

However, as the topic deepened, the two couldn’t help but complain about the food in Myōbokuyama. The “caterpillar salad” is not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

In response to this, Akira Hatake could only smile and complain that Kakashi Hatake didn’t listen to him and brought too little food, so he deserved this suffering.

After chatting about some daily matters, the smiling look on Hatake Akira’s face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

When the two saw Hatake Akira’s expression, they knew that the real show was about to begin, so they immediately sat up straight and listened carefully to Hatake Akira’s speech.

“Teacher, Kakashi, today the Great Toad Sage told me a prophecy about the Otsutsuki clan.”

Akira Hatake repeated to the two of them the prophecy that the Great Toad Sage had told him today. Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other’s eyes.

The current strength of the two is very strong. It can be said that they are invincible under the Six Paths. They have a 50% chance of winning against someone at the initial stage of the Six Paths.

But when they learn that the enemies they will face in the future are at the peak of the Six Paths level, or even beyond the Six Paths level, one can imagine how intense the fluctuations in their hearts will be.

The two had been training in Myoboku Mountain for nearly a year. When they felt they could break out and take over the entire ninja world, they were suddenly told that they were just slightly larger ants. This sense of disappointment almost made them breathless.

However, when one’s strength reaches the level of Hatake Kakashi and Namikaze Minato, their character is naturally tempered to a very high level, and the two of them adjusted quickly.

“Ming, I think you should have a solution, right?”

“Teacher, you think too highly of me…”

Hatake Akira shook his head and smiled bitterly, “For an existence beyond the Six Paths level, any strategy we have other than a head-on confrontation will become a joke.”

This is the truth. As long as your strength reaches a certain level, any conspiracy or trick is a joke.

“Could it be that… we really have no chance of winning?”

“It’s not like there’s no chance of winning.”

Hatake Akira continued to speak his mind, “Teacher, you know that my ability can help others practice. I want to try my best to train a group of high-end combat forces before the Otsutsuki God descends upon the Ninja World.”

“In addition to these, I have another idea that is more dangerous, but definitely very profitable.”

As he spoke, Hatake Akira wiped the seal scroll behind him with one hand, and a plant seed emitting a dangerous aura appeared in Hatake Akira’s hand.

“This is……”

Minato Namikaze felt the tremendous power emanating from the seeds of the sacred tree, and immediately asked Hatake Akira with some fear.

“This is the seed of the sacred tree.”

“The seeds of the sacred tree? You mean…” Namikaze Minato suddenly realized something and frowned, “The dangerous method you just mentioned, do you want to…”

“Yes.”

Hatake Akira nodded, “I plan to plant the seeds of this sacred tree before the Otsutsuki God descends upon the Ninja World.”

“Brother, are you planning to plant the seeds of the sacred tree in the ninja world?”

Hatake Kakashi’s little face also wrinkled into a ball, and he asked Hatake Akira in disbelief.

“Why not?”

Hatake Akira spread his hands, “If we don’t do this, when the future Otsutsuki God descends upon the Ninja World, I don’t think we have much chance of winning.”

“We can try hard, and we still have you, my brother!”

Hatake Kakashi was a little excited, “We can’t…we can’t destroy the Ninja World by ourselves before the Otsutsuki God descends upon it, right?”

“It won’t be destroyed, but the foundation of the ninja world will definitely be damaged.”

Hatake Akira sighed, “When I got the seed of this sacred tree, I communicated with Otsutsuki Yuromo.”

“He once told me that with the potential and size of the Ninja World, the four sacred trees can mature in the Ninja World and bear sacred fruit.”

“Ming, if that’s the case, we can give it a try, but it can only be used as a last resort.”

Namikaze Minato expressed his opinion, “Planting the sacred tree will definitely cause irreversible damage to the ecology of the ninja world, so where to plant it is a problem.”

“If we don’t think it through, we will not only become sinners in the ninja world, but we will also be cursed by the people who lost their homes for generations to come.”

“I know this, but I don’t plan to plant the sacred tree on the surface of the ninja world. I want to plant the sacred tree in the pure land.”

“Planted in the Pure Land?” X2

Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze asked in unison. It’s not that they thought it was impossible, but they just couldn’t keep up with Hatake Akira’s thinking.

They naturally knew about the existence of the Pure Land in the Ninja World, but they had no idea where the Pure Land was, how living people could get there, or how they could get out.

“Yes, planted in the Pure Land.”

Hatake Akira nodded in confirmation, “Planting the sacred tree in the pure land may lead to some good things that will benefit the integrity of the rules of the ninja world.”

“This……”

Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze looked at each other, and then looked at Akira Hatake again.

Hatake Akira naturally understood what the two meant. After coughing twice, he patiently answered their questions.

Chapter 361: The flaws of the ninja world.

Hatake Akira actually has always had a question that he couldn’t figure out before.

There is no reincarnation in the ninja world. After death, the soul of a person returns to the Pure Land.

The souls in the Pure Land have been constantly expanding since the day species were born in the Ninja World, and they are the type that only enter and never leave.

As we all know, the soul also has power. Perhaps when the Pure Land was first created, the power contained in it was very weak.

However, after going through the long years of ancient times, modern times, and so on, and with countless souls filling the Pure Land, the power contained in the Pure Land is absolutely terrifying.

This is also the reason why Otsutsuki Hagoromo stayed in the Pure Land after his death and why his soul, although not pure, of the Otsutsuki bloodline can live forever.

Hatake Akira’s idea was very simple. Since the Pure Land had existed for so long and had so much power nowhere to be used, planting the sacred tree in the Pure Land could be considered “waste utilization.”

Moreover, the Pure Land has deep roots in the Ninja World, and planting the sacred tree there will not affect the ecological environment on the surface of the Ninja World, let alone the many lives in the Ninja World.

As for those souls in the Pure Land…

Although they can barely be called living beings, they are very old and have nothing to do with the contemporary living people in the ninja world.

Even if there is, the living cannot control the world of the dead, let alone the world of the dead.

Moreover, based on the characteristics of the sacred tree, Hatake Akira also made a very bold inference.

Although the sacred tree will convert all the energy it absorbs into chakra and condense it in the fruit of the sacred tree, the great power contained in the fruit of the sacred tree besides chakra is also different.

For example, the fruit of the sacred tree that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki ate, in addition to chakra, also allowed him to evolve the “Eye of the Moon”, which is the so-called Nine-magatama Samsara Sharingan.

There is no need to tell how powerful this eye is. After a round of weakening, the strength of the two brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura is far beyond that of Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Otsutsuki Ginji, and Otsutsuki Urashiki who will come to the ninja world in the future.

Not to mention the two brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura, all the pure Otsutsuki clan members mentioned above are no match for Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke whose bloodlines have been weakened for many rounds.

From this we can see how special the power nature of the ninja world is and how special the ninja world is.

Even though the ninja world is so powerful, in Hatake Akira’s inherent impression, the ninja world is still an incomplete world.

As for why it is incomplete, the fundamental reason lies in the Pure Land.

The Pure Land is a place to accommodate souls, but the form of only being able to enter but not exit seems very abnormal. If Hatake Akira’s guess is correct, the original intention of the Pure Land’s creation is to allow reincarnation in the ninja world.

However, not only did reincarnation not appear, the Pure Land instead became a prison for souls and the source of the weakening of the ninja world’s power.

As for why the incomplete Pure Land has become the root cause of the decline of the ninja world, the reason is naturally its incomplete mechanism that can only allow entry but not exit.

Hatake Akira once discussed with Orochimaru why the soul was born. Orochimaru was an authority in scientific research, and what he said could not be said to be completely correct, but it was quite reliable.

Remember that Orochimaru mentioned the will of the world at that time, and Hatake Akira also kept it in mind.

When life first appeared in the Ninja World, the original life forms were extremely powerful, and their soul powers were naturally extraordinary.

For example, those ancient strange beasts, their lifespan can be ten or even a hundred times longer than that of humans.

If this were not the case, the ancient giant beasts in the three holy places would not have a lifespan of thousands of years.

It is true that the lifespan of creatures in the ninja world is linked to the strength of the body, but the strength of the soul also plays an extremely important role.

Since the ancient beasts and the humans in the ninja world are both creations of the world’s will, why is there such a huge difference in the strength of their souls?

Akira Hatake and Orochimaru have discussed this many times, and Orochimaru originally proposed a hypothesis:

The soul is created by the world’s will, but because of the Pure Land, the world’s will has been weakening, and subsequent souls can only become weaker and weaker.

After Orochimaru said this, Hatake Akira suddenly realized that the souls that only enter the Pure Land but never leave cannot allow the power expended by the World Will to be perfectly circulated. It will only cause the World Will to continuously consume power and create one soul after another.

What if we planted a sacred tree in the Pure Land?

Not only can this part of the power that cannot be used and has been sealed in the Pure Land for a long time be reactivated, but also relying on the characteristics of the sacred tree, new power can be created to make up for the shortcomings of the Pure Land mechanism.

What are the characteristics of the sacred tree?

In fact, the characteristics of the sacred tree are already very obvious. It will derive abilities closely related to the type of power it absorbs when the fruit of the sacred tree matures.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s Nine-magatama Rinnegan is proof of this, and so are all the incredible abilities she possesses!

After expressing their thoughts and judgments, Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze fell into endless contemplation.

The amount of information revealed by Hatake Akira was so huge and so much that it would take some time for the two of them to fully digest it.

After a long while, Namikaze Minato finally raised his head and said, “Ming, forgive my limited knowledge. I can’t tell whether what you said is true or false.”

“But my subconscious tells me that you might be right…”

“But then again, we can’t determine the truth about the Pure Land just by guessing. We must go to the Pure Land in person to get the most accurate answer.”

“Teacher is right.” Hatake Akira nodded, “All speculations need to be supported by real evidence. I really should go to the Pure Land.”
