Arisu once again traveled through the human world.
This time, he was no longer blindly observing the countless people, but seeking greater power.
Among them, he wanted to explore some of the "other powers" in the Naruto world.
In the original story, the King of Hell, the Shinigami of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, Hidan's faith, and the setting of the Pure Land.
None of these were given a reasonable explanation in the original Naruto.
Now, he possessed overwhelming strength.
Naturally, he had to investigate.
However, it was still quite difficult, because there were no clues.
At this time, even hand seals for ninjutsu had not yet been invented, let alone all kinds of techniques.
Bang!
At that moment, a small monkey appeared beside Arisu along with a puff of smoke.
Arisu raised his eyebrow. This was the White Ape King's messenger monkey.
'No way… could it be that even the White Ape King is reaching the end?',A bad feeling surged in Arisu's heart.
Grandpa White Brow had just died a hundred years ago, and now the White Ape King was also nearing his end?
Arisu was not worried about the White Snake Sage, because the White Snake Sage had lived all the way to Boruto.
Only the White Ape King…
"Sigh, life and death are fate…"
Arisu let out a soft sigh and opened the letter.
However, what came into view was not an obituary, but a short sentence.
[Arisu, come quickly, discovered a mysterious farming spot!]
"This guy…"
Arisu's face stiffened.
He really could not hold it in. The White Ape King was still as childish as ever.
As for why the White Ape King knew so many memes.
That was naturally influenced by his former self.
Before transmigrating, Arisu had already been familiar with all sorts of things on the internet.
Classic, filial, urgent, stiff, fun, win, run, numb, done, slack. The ten arts of a gentleman. He was skilled in all of them.
When he had first arrived in this world, he had casually blurted out many "wise sayings."
After hearing them, the White Ape King immediately started playing with those memes hard, and had been playing them for hundreds of years without getting tired of them…
But Arisu was no longer the same as before…
The young man who used to shout about enduring, thinking it through, and holding on, had now become a steady immortal.
The Ape Demon Clan.
Arisu arrived here with ease. It was still the same as more than a hundred years ago, with almost no difference.
As soon as he entered the cave, he saw the White Ape King, acting like an old playful child.
"Wow! Arisu, it really is you!"
The White Ape King leaped and jumped in front of Arisu.
Arisu showed a helpless smile. "White Ape King, you are older than me, how are you still so lively?"
"Hehehe, you do not understand, Arisu.", The White Ape King scratched his head.
"When I meet an old friend, I automatically switch to the age when we first met!"
"We all have a part of ourselves kept with our old friends. The meaning of seeing an old friend is that when you feel down, I still remember how high-spirited you once were."
"Just like me. In my memory, you are not that steady legendary Six Paths Immortal, but the ambitious Arisu who dared to fight an alien to the end!", The White Ape King spoke with a nostalgic look.
Hearing this, a trace of emotion flashed in Arisu's eyes, then he nodded. "Makes sense."
Arisu sat on a stone stool and slowly asked, "So, why did you call me here, White Ape King…"
"Hehe, we have not seen each other for so many years, I kind of missed you. Sometimes I dream about fighting Isshiki side by side with you…"
The White Ape King laughed.
Arisu smiled and nodded.
Speaking of which, Otsutsuki Isshiki should be completely dead.
After all, there had been no passing monk at that time, and Otsutsuki Isshiki had been chewed up by the Ten Tails.
The man and the ape first caught up for a while.
Then, the White Ape King went straight to the point, "It's like this. A few days ago, when I went to the human world, I found many crows."
"But that is not the main thing. The most important thing is that on those crows, I sensed a different kind of power!"
"It is a kind of power similar to sage arts!", The White Ape King said.
Arisu paused slightly. 'Sage arts?'
'Could it be that besides the Three Great Sage Lands and the Ape Demon Clan, there were other places in this world that inherited sage arts?'
"Oh? Take me to see.", Arisu said.
The man and the ape suddenly moved at high speed…
———
When they appeared again, they were already standing in a lifeless valley.
Not a single blade of grass grew in the valley. The ground was full of cracked earth and withered broken trees.
The moment they landed, a faint illusionary fluctuation quietly spread out, wrapping the entire valley like a thin veil.
"This is genjutsu…"
Arisu possessed several kinds of sage arts, and his chakra was vast like the sea. This level of genjutsu was like a breeze brushing his face. It did not shake his mind in the slightest.
"Yes, I fell for it several times. The opponent's genjutsu ability is terrifying."
Beside him, although the White Ape King was affected by the genjutsu and slightly furrowed his brow, sensing Arisu's steady presence like a mountain beside him, he completely relaxed and felt no fear.
"This is the place, Arisu."
"Those strange crows are hiding inside. I felt this place was eerie, so I did not dare go too deep.", The White Ape King raised his hand and pointed toward the dead forest deeper in the valley, lowering his voice slightly.
"Oh?"
Arisu narrowed his eyes slightly. Pale blue sage chakra quietly overflowed, and his perception spread like a tide, completely covering the entire dead forest.
The next moment, Arisu lightly touched his chin, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"So that is how it is…"
Within this dead forest, there was actually an aura and energy of the same origin as the Three Great Sage Lands, rich and unique.
"Interesting.", Arisu muttered softly.
He thought to himself, 'Could there be an unknown land in this world that also passed down sage arts?'
This was exactly what he wanted. He had been searching everywhere for the hidden powers of the Naruto world, and now this power had come to him on its own.
Speaking of crows, he thought of Uchiha Itachi.
In the original story, it was never explained how Uchiha Itachi signed a contract with crows, nor how he obtained the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror.
"White Ape King, wait here. I will go in and take a look.", Arisu turned and instructed.
"Be careful!"
"The aura here is very strange. It looks a bit like the gloom of Ryuchi Cave, but not entirely. There are many hidden tricks.", The White Ape King quickly warned him.
"Mm.", Arisu nodded slightly, and his figure headed toward the dead forest.
With his current strength, there were very few beings in this world who could truly threaten his life.
Even if something unexpected happened, at worst he would just start over. He had the ability to resurrect endlessly, so why fear death?
In the White Ape King's sight, the moment Arisu stepped into the dead forest, his figure quietly disappeared as if merging into nothingness.
———
[Inside the Dead Forest]
Arisu looked at the suddenly changing surroundings, and understanding flashed in his eyes.
"It is actually a barrier similar to Mount Myoboku. It works differently but achieves the same result as the summoning realm."
Arisu walked slowly, and after only two steps, an ancient stone monument appeared before him. On it were carved four bold ancient characters, Land of Yata Crow.
Arisu looked at the stone monument, his brow slightly furrowing.
At that moment, a thick surge of sage chakra suddenly rushed from ahead, quite substantial in amount.
"Caw caw caw!"
Harsh crow cries suddenly rang out. Black feathers fluttered, and a streak of black light shot out from the depths of the dead trees, slowly landing on a withered branch in front of Arisu.
It was a three-legged crow. Its feathers were pitch black like ink, but its pupils glowed red, and faint sage chakra lingered around it.
"Human, finally a human has broken in…"
"Ah!? Wait, why is it you?", When the three-legged crow saw Arisu's appearance clearly, its red pupils suddenly shrank, and it let out a cry of surprise.
"You know me?"
Arisu raised his eyes and calmly looked at the three-legged crow.
The three-legged crow quickly hid its surprise and flapped its wings with a flattering smile. "Hehe, of course I know you!"
"Aren't you the famous Six Paths Immortal? I did not expect you to personally visit my humble place. May I ask what guidance you have?", The crow laughed.
Arisu did not hide anything and spoke directly, "This Land of Yata Crow of yours should also have a sage arts inheritance, right? I am quite interested in your sage arts inheritance. Why not tell me all of it."
Hearing this, the three-legged crow's expression instantly changed.
"Immortal, please forgive me. The sage arts inheritance of my Yata Crow is only passed to those with fate. It cannot be taught to just anyone who comes. Please do not force it."
"Otherwise, I fear your lifetime reputation may be damaged, and you may perish in the Land of Yata. Immortal, please do not force it, do not bring trouble upon yourself.", The crow shook its head and spoke with a slight threat.
"What if I insist on forcing it?", Arisu's voice remained calm, but carried a strength that allowed no refusal.
With his current strength, if he wanted the Yata Crow's sage arts inheritance, he could simply seize it by force. He was only being polite first before using force.
Moreover, no one in this world dared to threaten him.
Even Hagoromo would not dare.
Upon hearing this, the three-legged crow instead let out a strange laugh.
Its red pupils were full of confidence. "Immortal, to learn my Yata sage arts, the first step is to remove all your defenses and willingly accept the genjutsu of my Yata Crow."
"If the Six Paths Immortal removes your defenses and stops resisting, I am afraid today you will die under my Yata genjutsu~", The confidence in its voice was almost overflowing.
It clearly had absolute confidence in its Yata genjutsu, even arrogantly believing it could kill the Six Paths Immortal.
After hearing this, Arisu could not help but laugh softly.
'Strong? No matter how strong the genjutsu in this world was, could it surpass the Infinite Tsukuyomi?'
Besides, in the worst case he would just die. After resurrecting, he could fight again.
He chuckled lightly. The sage chakra around him and all his defenses instantly withdrew, and he actively removed all barriers, allowing that thick genjutsu fluctuation to wrap around him.
The next second, Arisu's consciousness was completely swallowed, falling into an endless ocean of genjutsu.
