Chapter 273: Penultimate 2nd Puzzle
As the base camp of the evil-god Society, the country of hot water was also where the evil god were born.
"Hehe, it really is like this..."
A clone of Yuuji grew out of the ground and stared coldly at a hot spring in the distance.
This clone was the clone that had blocked Obito and Hidan earlier.
During this period of time, this clone had rushed to the Kingdom of hot water, and then had been squatting here all the time, completely ignoring the loss of its energy.
Finally, he found some clues.
At this time, strange chakra fluctuation was spreading out from this large hot spring, flying towards the direction of Konoha.
This was what he felt when he entered Sage Mode, and he felt it through natural energy.
If it was any other ninja, they wouldn't be able to sense it just by relying on Chakra.
The main body was studying Hidan to attract the attention of evil god.
The clone was already squatting in the Kingdom of hot water, patiently sensing and finding the source.
"It really is this special hot spring. Is this source of the Evil God?" The eyes of Yuuji's clone were burning.
Originally, on the timeline, Ryuki, the second immortal ninja after the Hidan, relied on a special hot spring to bewitch passers-by to join the Society to have an immortal body as a bargaining chip, bewitching the people into this hot spring.
As expected, all the people who entered the hot spring were killed by Ryuki and offered sacrifices to the evi-god on the spot.
Ryuki's body technique might be far worse than that of Hidan, but Blood curse relied on blood to use it more skillfully than Hidan. It even developed a certain degree. There was no need to draw a curse circle and then stand in the circle to start a curse.
Yuuji's clone sized up the hot spring for a long time, and was about to dive into it.
At this time, he sensed that a powerful individual was quickly rushing in his direction.
"This chakra is..." Yuuji's expression changed slightly.
"It really is you, Yuuji. Let me guess, this is probably your clone?"
"Senior Jiraiya, how could you be in the Hot Water Country?" Yuuji raised his eyebrows.
As expected of the Three Ninjas, their sense of smell was so sharp, and they rushed over so quickly?
As for why Jiraiya was in Hot Water Country, Yuuji was not surprised.
He was a traveler. He knew very well that during the years that Jiraiya had been traveling outside, he would run to Hot Water Country whenever he had nothing to do. However, he had obtained many high-quality materials and inspiration from this country that was filled with hot springs.
He understood everything about "Intimacy Heaven".
"Wahaha, I'm just collecting materials here. You know, the hot springs here are very good and there are many women."
Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed loudly.
If one ignores his restless chakra and slightly torn clothes, some people might believe what he said.
"It's not that simple, right? Senior Jiraiya, looking at you, why do you look like you just fought with someone?" Yuuji gave him a meaningful look.
In the sea outside land of hot water, he vaguely sensed some chakra fluctuation, but he didn't care.
As long as it didn't affect his movements.
"Well, it's a coincidence. I was collecting materials in a bathroom, but I didn't expect to meet Akatsuki... That bastard turned into a beautiful young woman and wanted to cheat me of my money. Fortunately, I saw through it."
At the mention of this, Jiraiya was obviously a little annoyed.
He almost assaulted a man, it was simply a great humiliation!
Damn it, if he hadn't lingered in the Mountain of Flames for a long time, causing his keen sense of smell to drop a lot, how could he not recognize it at the first moment?
"Cheating money?" Yuuji was deep in thought.
"That's right. Of course, cheating money is definitely just a facade. That guy must have known my identity and wanted to get close to me and then attack me, but I found out easily. So I fought with him and almost killed him."
Jiraiya had a look of regret.
He destroyed the other party's four masks, but unfortunately, he let the last one go.
This was also because he did not know much about the enemy.
He could only gather information while fighting, and the result was naturally getting smoother and smoother.
"However, it is not that there is no harvest. Other than the information of another Akatsuki member, I also snatched several boxes of money from the enemy! I don't know why that guy brought so much money with him. What kind of hobby is this? I can't have coincidentally met Akatsuki's finance minister, right?" Jiraiya laughed heartily.
""...? "
Yuuji already roughly knew what had happened.
After resolving the matter with the evil god Society, not only did he not leave quickly, but he also cheated money on Jiraiya in the end?
The key point was that he was using women's clothing to cheat money. Sheesh, he was really putting in a lot of effort. This kind of dedication was worthy of praise.
He probably also lost all the money he had swindled during this period.
Truth be told, even though Kakuzu's strength was not bad, he was obviously much weaker than Jiraiya. It was already fortunate that he was able to survive.
"So, Senior Jiraiya seems to have obtained what he wanted in the Mountain of Flames... Has he developed an even more powerful technique?" Yuuji smiled.
"Yes, it took some time, but I have indeed grasped True Fire of Samadhi."
Jiraiya was full of confidence.
The lethality of True Fire of Samadhi was simply beyond Jiraiya's expectations. This brought Jiraiya a great deal of confidence.
Right now, even if he were to face Nagato, he still had a certain amount of confidence.
"Let's talk about you first. The current you should be a clone, right? Your high-level clone technique is famous for Ninja World. I don't know how many people want to obtain this technique... In any case, I won't compare to the current you that Shin is using." Jiraiya's expression became a little more serious.
Yuuji nodded with a calm face. "That's right, it is indeed a clone."
"What are you doing here? It is not like you want to soak in a hot spring." Jiraiya said solemnly.
According to his understanding of Yuuji, Yuuji would never do something meaningless. He even specially came to a small country like hot water Country.
"I'm sniping the Evil God."
"Evil God...? Is it simply called the Evil God, or is it the kind of Evil God I understand?" Jiraiya was stunned.
"It's an evil god, something with unknown meaning." Yuuji cast his gaze towards the depths of the hot spring.
Large amounts of steam rose up, covering the entire hot spring. The visibility was extremely low.
Jiraiya's expression changed slightly, and he raised his head to look, but he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't sense any chakra.
Evil God... An existence that wasn't easy to deal with just by hearing its name, was actually in this hot spring?
"It's related to the Evil God Cult? Akatsuki's fellow came from the current hot water Country, could it be that he came for the Evil God Cult?" Jiraiya said in a low voice.
"Pretty much. However, Akatsuki is not the only one who has his eyes on the Evil God. I am also determined to get this guy."
Yuuji raised his foot and began to step on the water, walking on the hot spring.
Every step he took caused ripples to spread out slowly.
As soon as he entered the fog, the sounds around him disappeared a lot, as if something had swallowed him.
Crash!
Jiraiya followed behind Yuuji without any hesitation.
"Come to think of it, you are already so strong. Although I just came out of the Mountain of Flames not long ago, I heard some things that happened recently... The holy land you represent is attacking Ryuuchi Cave?"
Jiraiya followed behind Yuuji and asked in a low voice.
Compared to the Evil Gods, the matters of the Sacred Grounds were indeed more attractive to him.
This was a war between the Sacred Grounds, something that had never happened before.
Yuuji had even killed the white snake Sage, causing Jiraiya to be shocked for a long time.
Jiraiya had seen the big toad Sage many times, so he could naturally guess what kind of existence the white snake Sage was. He did not dare to imagine that such a level of existence would actually be killed by Yuuji.
The little brat of the past has actually grown to this extent, truly astonishing...
"Ryuuchi Cave is a holy land that likes to eat people. It should have been eliminated long ago. Once the white snake Sage dies, the other snakes are no longer a threat. Just kill them slowly." Yuuji did not even turn his head as he entered the hot spring.
Until he reached the center of the hot spring.
He stopped in his tracks.
"Eh, something is wrong here..." Jiraiya looked down in bewilderment.
An extremely obscure power surged.
In the dark, the words "resurrection" and "eternal life" appeared in Jiraiya's mind.
Jiraiya even saw his childhood playmate who had died many years ago.
An inexplicable understanding appeared in Jiraiya's mind. He let Jiraiya know that he could resurrect the dead through this hot spring.
"Illusion?"
The corners of Jiraiya's mouth twitched.
Relying on his strong will and experience, he has always maintained a clear consciousness, and he has no faith at all.
Could this hot spring confuse people through illusions?
"Found it. It really is here."
Yuuji suddenly opened his mouth, deep in thought.
There was always a legend about the resurrection spring in the hot water Country. In this legend, as long as one drank the spring water, they could revive the dead.
However, there were thousands of hot springs in this country, and they had never really encountered the resurrection spring water.
In the original timeline, the adult Shikamaru could clearly guess that the legend was false, and there was probably a conspiracy, but he still insisted on going his own way, just to see Asuma again.
Yuuji did not know that it had the ability to resurrect the dead, but he found traces of the Evil God in the hot spring.
In the next moment, he suddenly lowered his head and reached out to pat the water.
Boom!
The entire hot spring immediately boiled. Countless radiation clouds spread out, boiling the entire hot spring.
An even more terrifying fog rose up into the sky.
"Be careful, Senior Jiraiya." Yuuji reminded.
An invisible existence rose from the bottom of the hot spring at an astonishing speed.
Moreover, it did not start from one point, but started to gather from the entire hot spring itself.
"So, this special hot spring is the Evil God's lair?" Jiraiya immediately assumed a fighting stance, his long hair swaying, and he could activate the Hidden Needle Technique at any moment.
In the next moment, Jiraiya was stunned.
An incomparably huge shadow seemed to be somewhere between existence and non-existence, suddenly rising up.
Endless mist suddenly spread out.
"This is the Evil God?" Jiraiya was shocked. He opened his eyes wide, and he could not see the true body of the Evil God.
"I need to enter Sage Mode to see it. After all, this thing is a freak formed by the combination of natural energy, chakra, and human's strength of vision."
Yuuji looked indifferent.
He sized up this guy in front of him.
Although he could not see it through Sage Mode, he could clearly sense the outline of this big guy in front of him.
As long as he wanted to, he would definitely be able to see it when he opened it.
"Hope... The chest of bliss is also related to Hope, and the birth of Hagoromo and Hamura is also related to Hope." Yuuji silently pondered.
Hope was very easy to be ignored, hidden behind Chakra and natural energy.
However, it had to be said that the Power of Hope had indeed affected Ninja World's history.
Not to mention anything else, just the two children that Otsutsuki Kaguya gave birth to, Hagoromo and Hamura, had the Power of Hope.
In the anime version, Kaguya combined with the human king and gave birth to Hagoromo and Hamura, who were theoretically mixed-blood descendants of Otsutsuki.
In the manga version, there was no Human King under Root. After Kaguya ate the chakra fruit, he accepted the blessings of the earth natives and gave birth to Hagoromo and Hamura. It could be said that this version of Hagoromo and Hamura were both pure-blood Otsutsuki.
Hagoromo and Hamura were born from Otsutsuki's bloodline and the blessings of all living beings. Under the premise of not talking about personal cognition, they would rather abandon Otsutsuki's noble birth to stand on the side of Earth. It seemed that it was easy to understand that they rebelled against Otsutsuki Kaguya for the lives of countless aboriginals.
The two of them looked like the first generation of "prophets" that this planet had desperately created to protect themselves. Otsutsuki Kaguya was also one-sided. In order to fight against Kinshiki's team, she found helpers. Thus, she took the opportunity to give birth to these two children. However, no matter what, she did not expect that this move would almost kill her.
Near, there was also the chest of bliss that Yuuji had seized. At this time, this chest was sealed in the base near the Valley of The End and had not been used. Because the core of the chest of bliss, the demon known as "Enlightenment" was parasitic in Uchiha Setsuna's body. It was actually meaningless to simply stare at the chest of bliss.
Unless he realized that he had escaped and returned to the chest of bliss, waiting for the next opportunity to make a wish, that would be the most valuable time.
Power of Hope was obviously a form of spiritual energy, and it was a characteristic that only living beings possessed.
Is it a kind of sublimation of spiritual energy? The most valuable part of the body energy can be summed up with [Vitality], and spiritual energy can be guided by the power of will?
Only by combining spiritual energy with the body energy can one produce chakra.
Yuuji immediately thought of Infinite Tsukuyomi and Gentei Tsukuyomi.
Every fake world that was weaved was a fantasy world deep in the hearts of every human being.
They had to "think" first, "desire" first, before Infinite Tsukuyomi read and Gentei Tsukuyomi would "create" this person.
Wish power...
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Interesting. A power that exists but has been neglected. A specific energy that is on par with the concept of [Life Force].
Perhaps I might accidentally discover something even more interesting. The native supernatural system of Earth might not just be a type of natural energy. Things like the Life Force and Life Force, which are so cheap that they can be seen everywhere, and are insignificant when placed on an individual, might also be very useful.
"Just as I guessed, after dealing with the Evil God and mastering the methods of the artificial Evil God, I will be able to obtain the second last piece of Izanagi puzzle on the surface."
"Although I threw out the infinite Izanagi purely to give Madara an explanation, and I did not intend to really take this plan to heart, but now that I think about it, if I want to completely plant and transform the entire planet, using the infinite Izanagi to control the world for a short period of time, and then calmly plant trees, I think it will be very convenient."
