194The Origin of the Pure LandAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 194 The Origin of the Pure Land
"The Chakra they possess, and their desire to plant the fruit."
Naruto sneered, "It seems they've already gotten what they wanted and are planning to plant Chakra seeds again."
"This planet is responding to me, how interesting."
Naruto found this simply novel; he no longer needed to rely on Six Paths Power to increase his strength, but this ability was indeed very powerful.
Glancing at the Six Paths Sage, Naruto's expression was indifferent.
The Six Paths Sage floated beside Naruto and said with a smile, "You are much stronger than me. Back then, I only achieved what I have today by becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki."
"You flatter me!"
Six Paths Sage: "…"
Nine-Tailed: "…"
The Six Paths Sage didn't mind. As Naruto walked, he suddenly stopped. "By the way, how much do you know about the Pure Land?"
"The Pure Land, huh!"
The Six Paths Sage stroked his beard, lost in thought.
"I do know a little about that."
As the Six Paths Sage described it, Naruto and Nine-Tailed finally understood the origin of the so-called Pure Land.
The Pure Land itself didn't exist.
It was only when Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki came to the Ninja World and planted the Chakra Fruit that the Shinigami on this planet discovered an opportunity to become stronger.
So, he began to enrich himself.
The Shinigami's original duty was to send the souls of deceased beings from this world to the Underworld.
But when he discovered that the Chakra of those deceased beings could enhance his own strength, he began to create the Pure Land.
The purpose was to corral these souls and harvest their Chakra.
Naruto: "…"
"There's really an Underworld in this world?"
Naruto was stunned.
He had always thought that the Pure Land was the Underworld of this world.
Now you're telling me that the Pure Land is just the Shinigami enriching himself, a place he intercepted.
"The Underworld does exist. This is information I learned from the Shinigami and the Evil God."
The Six Paths Sage stroked his beard and said with a smile, "But I don't know where this Underworld is, let alone having been there."
"Perhaps the Ōtsutsuki Clan people know."
"You want me to interrogate them, right?"
The Six Paths Sage smiled without speaking.
That's exactly what he meant.
But he knew Naruto had the same idea.
"Speaking of which~"
The Six Paths Sage's tone shifted, "If this God Tree is planted and bears Chakra Fruit again, the burden on the Ninja World will indeed be much heavier. What do you plan to do?"
"Stop them, kill them, and then…"
Naruto looked up at the sky.
The universe was vast, and he really wanted to see the scenery beyond the Ninja World.
"By the way, where is the Evil God? Where is the Shinigami? Can living people go to the Pure Land?"
"The Evil God and Shinigami are very mysterious. One only needs souls, and the other only needs sacrifices."
"The existence of these gods seems to have certain restrictions, but the Ōtsutsuki are relatively much freer."
"Is there a possibility that the so-called heavenly beings, the so-called gods, are self-proclaimed by them?"
Just like Nagato before.
Didn't he once call himself a god? Yet now he's still in Konoha Village, being fed so well by Konan that he's practically a big fat man.
"Perhaps!"
The Six Paths Sage shook his head; he didn't know these things.
As a dead man, he didn't have the energy to investigate such matters.
"You can investigate those things yourself. As for the Pure Land, I don't know if living people can enter."
"Inside there…"
The Six Paths Sage stammered, unsure how to explain.
When the Pure Land was mentioned, Naruto's expression became somewhat unpleasant.
Since the Pure Land wasn't the Underworld but an interception by the Shinigami, did that mean Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina hadn't found peace in death?
As a true native, what he valued was finding peace in death.
Now you're telling me this trash Shinigamiintercepted them.
Damn it!
Naruto was extremely displeased.
"Can the Shinigami be found?"
"Wait!"
Naruto suddenly paused, thought of a method, and his expression suddenly became strange.
Very good.
Since the Shinigami was snatching people from the Underworld, he could also snatch people from the Shinigami.
It just depended on whose methods were stronger.
"Let's go, find Orochimaru!"
Naruto acted on his thought, heading straight for Orochimaru.
The Six Paths Sage, who witnessed this, was curious.
What had Uzumaki Naruto thought of? Why did his smile seem a little sinister?
The Shinigami, diligently transporting souls, suddenly shivered.
"Why do I have such a bad feeling?"
"What's going on? Who's plotting against me?"
The Shinigami was filled with doubt. "Did people from the Underworld come? Or is the Six Paths Sage trying to get ideas about the Pure Land again?"
The Shinigami fell silent.
That old man, the Six Paths Sage, just loved to meddle.
"Hmph, don't let me find you."
The Shinigami also coveted the Six Paths Sage's Chakra; it was super high-quality Chakra.
Just wait.
Once he gathered more souls, his status in the Underworld would definitely not be low.
…
"Orochimaru, Orochimaru, quick, help me out!"
"Naruto? So urgent, has something important happened?"
"There is indeed something I need you to do."
"Prepare for Edo Tensei. I'll go find some materials."
"Materials? What materials?"
"My parents!"
Orochimaru: "…"
What a filial son!
You are truly filial.
Orochimaru was speechless, and Yakushi Kabutobeside him also gaped in astonishment.
Naruto, look at what you just said.
"Brother Naruto must have his own ideas. I trust him."
Karin trusted Naruto unconditionally.
"Good girl!"
Naruto's lips curved. "I just received some astonishing news. If it's possible, it might work out."
"Alright!"
Orochimaru didn't waste words and readily agreed.
He also really wanted to see what Naruto intended to do.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the graveyard. I'll go prepare now."
Naruto came excitedly and left just as excitedly.
Nine-Tailed, who had been lying on Naruto's shoulder, felt a chill in its heart at this sight.
What was this guy up to now?
Every time it saw Naruto's excited look, it felt uneasy.
Something big was about to happen again.
Given Naruto's excitement, it was very likely to be an earth-shattering event.
"So, what exactly are you going to do?"
"You'll know in a bit."
Six Paths Sage: "…"
I want to know too, wow.
Naruto ignored the Six Paths Sage, using Flying Thunder God directly to go home.
Leaving the Six Paths Sage floating in place, stunned.
The next moment, the Six Paths Sage fumed, "What an unfilial junior who doesn't respect elders."
'Hmph!'
"If you don't say, then don't say. I don't even want to know."
…
Upon returning home, Naruto sensed nothing unusual and directly entered his space.
"Nine-Tailed!"
"Here!"
"What do you think about me dividing space?"
Nine-Tailed was stunned, then looked at Naruto in horror. "Are you going to…"
It understood.
This guy was going to snatch people…
