Hinata Natsu carefully gathered her chakra, and as her eye power gradually activated, her pure white eyes blossomed.
Under the gaze of the white eye, the scene inside the entire hall instantly became exceptionally clear and detailed.
Her gaze first fell on the serene and solemn Buddha statue.
Although the surface of the Buddha statue appears ancient, under the perspective of the white eye, it faintly reveals a continuous, profound, and refined natural energy.
The next second, her gaze quickly shifted to Shinnosuke sitting under the Buddha statue.
At that moment, flames of chakra, as intense as fire, suddenly erupted around Shinnosuke...
This force is resonating, intertwining, and merging with the hidden natural energy within the Buddha statue in a subtle and mysterious way.
"What...what is this?"
Upon hearing her voice, Shinnosuke slowly opened his eyes, looked at Hinata Natsu's surprised and uncertain expression, and couldn't help but smile gently.
"fool."
Shinnosuke smiled and explained gently...
"Since ancient times, the Temple of Fire has been one of the very few sacred places on the ninja world continent, apart from the three great holy lands, where one can comprehend and cultivate Sage Techniques."
His words carried a hint of patience and comfort.
"Look at this Buddha statue. Over the centuries, countless devout believers have offered their worship and prayers to it, and it has accumulated extremely rich natural energy."
As Shinnosuke spoke, his gaze shifted slightly to the Buddha statue, his eyes revealing a hint of awe and longing.
"As long as I can gradually master this energy, I will be able to gradually learn the most basic immortal techniques."
Hearing Shinnosuke's detailed explanation, Hyuga Natsu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on her face gradually disappeared.
He said somewhat embarrassedly in a low voice, "Captain, you really scared me..."
Shinnosuke smiled slightly, his tone still gentle and mild: "You idiot, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Mainly: "
Hinata Natsu hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of relaxation and a joke...
"Recently, Captain, you've seemed a lot more serious. I thought something was wrong with your cultivation of immortal arts." Shinnosuke just smiled faintly at this, his face still bearing that reassuring smile, without offering any further explanation.
Seeing that Shinnosuke was alright, Hyuga Natsu's heart was completely at ease. She finally turned around and slowly walked towards the palace gate.
However, the smile on Shinnosuke's face suddenly vanished the moment Hinata Natsu left.
Slowly raising his head, his gaze once again focused on the seemingly serene and peaceful Buddha statue before him...
The gentle look in his eyes was quietly replaced by an indescribable gloom and eeriness.
At this moment, the natural energy, which had been gentle and pure under Byakugan's observation, seemed to sense some kind of longing in Shinnosuke's heart...
It began to become restless and even exuded a chilling aura.
The once solemn and serene Buddha statue now seemed to have awakened, and an imperceptible yet real aura of malevolence was slowly emanating from it.
Nitrogen was applied to the surface of the Buddha statue, enveloping the entire hall in an eerie atmosphere.
Shinnosuke sat cross-legged beneath the Buddha statue, his expression cold and serene, a faint, almost imperceptible, cold smile playing on his lips.
"Celestial arts, natural energy... such rudimentary methods of utilization are far too superficial."
His gaze gradually deepened and turned cold. He slowly lowered his head and stared at his palm, where a darker and more powerful desire seemed to be hidden.
The Fire Temple, a sacred site that has stood for hundreds of years on the Ninja World Continent, enshrines a Buddha statue that is one of the sacred objects left behind by the Sage of Six Paths.
This Buddha statue has been worshipped for thousands of years, accumulating the devout prayers and wishes of countless believers. Its natural energy is extremely powerful, even far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
However, this Buddha statue contains not only pure natural energy, but also some deep-seated resentment that is difficult to erase.
These resentments were foreshadowed six years ago during the fierce conflict between Uchiha Gen and the Fire Temple.
Although Uchiha Abyss defiled the Buddha statue:
Shinnosuke didn't pay much attention to this.
What he truly sought was to extract even more powerful and bizarre immortal magic from these energies mixed with resentment and malevolence.
He was well aware that the shallow natural energy he had currently perceived was far from satisfying his growing ambition and desire.
perhaps..
The required sacrifices and blood are far from enough.
Thinking of this, Shinnosuke's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He slowly raised his hand, as if ready to carry out the crazy plan in his heart at any moment.
Meanwhile, far away in the Land of Fire, in the daimyo's palace, the daimyo, whose emotions had gradually calmed down, sat silently in his own bedchamber.
Although he had been under strict house arrest by the Konoha ninjas these days, the Fire Country Daimyo still maintained an outward restraint and composure.
Deep down, he always believed that as long as he could get through this special period, once the crisis of the ninja world's end was completely resolved, it would be his chance to regain control of the situation.
"Tobirama's death is only temporary. Once the ninja world crisis is over and order is restored, the succession to the Hokage position will still require my daimyo's legitimate certification."
"Without my legitimate recognition, Konoha will surely be plunged into serious strife and turmoil once again. I'd like to see how Hiruzen will handle the aftermath..."
Thinking of this, the daimyo of the Land of Fire couldn't help but relax a lot.
He slowly closed his eyes, preparing to drift off to sleep peacefully.
However, just as he closed his eyes and began to drift off to sleep, a strange and deep chanting suddenly echoed through his room without warning!
The sound was extremely strange, as if it drifted from a distant and ethereal place, yet it also seemed to be right next to him, lingering in his ears!
It instantly jolted him awake from his dream.
Daiming suddenly opened his eyes, staring in horror at the pitch-black room, his face filled with shock and fear:
"Who is it? Who is there?"
The only response he received was the eerie, chilling chanting.
The chanting was low and hoarse, like a sinister whisper, constantly repeating obscure and mysterious words, gradually seeping into the depths of the daimyo's consciousness.
The air in the room suddenly became unusually cold, as if something was silently approaching him.
Inside the room, Daimyo was now completely gripped by unspeakable fear.
He struggled and screamed in terror, but found that all his efforts were in vain, as if his body was completely locked in place by a powerful and strange force, unable to move.
Suddenly, a chill ran through me, and I abruptly looked up.
In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply, and his face turned as pale as paper.
A cold and eerie shadow suddenly appeared before his eyes.
A Buddha statue, exuding a cold and oppressive aura, had quietly appeared before the daimyo.
The once solemn and serene Buddha statue was now stained red with blood. Blood slowly seeped from the corners of the Buddha's eyes, forehead, and mouth, the crimson color glaring and chilling.
Daming opened his mouth wide, trying to scream, but no sound came out at all.
He could only helplessly watch as the eerie Buddha statue drew closer to him, fear quickly engulfing his heart.
At the same time, flames soared into the sky once again within Konoha Village, as Obito manipulated countless ferocious withered wood release techniques, unleashing a new wave of destruction and slaughter.
At the same time this tragedy occurred, an even more terrifying atmosphere was also engulfing the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.
Countless eerie, withered trees, like venomous snakes, emerged from the darkness and quickly swept across the entire Daimyo's mansion and the noble residences throughout the Land of Fire.
Amidst those magnificent yet utterly defenseless houses, screams of terror and despair echoed, and the stench of blood quickly filled the air.
Behind all the fear and death, Shinnosuke stands calmly in the darkness...
Gazing at the Buddha statue before him, completely stained red with blood, a cold and satisfied smile slowly crept onto his lips.
Everything proceeded unexpectedly smoothly. After the bloody massacre was over, he calmly set a large fire...
They downplayed the entire tragedy and blamed it on Obito, who was burning down Konoha.
Under the cover of the boundless night, eerie chants echoed gradually through the silent and solemn Fire Temple, accompanying Shinnosuke's footsteps.
As Shinnosuke returned to the Fire Temple step by step, the gentleness in his eyes had vanished, replaced by coldness and cruelty.
At this moment, Hinata Natsumi was still sound asleep in the room, completely unaware of everything happening outside.
After returning to his room, Shinnosuke quickly formed hand seals without hesitation, muttered obscure incantations, and activated the summoning jutsu.
In an instant, a huge and sinister Buddha statue reappeared in the center of the room.
As the blood and resentment collected by Shinnosuke slowly flowed into the Buddha statue, the originally solemn statue began to change drastically!
The original grayish-brown body was gradually eroded by dark red blood, and eventually the entire Buddha statue turned into a strange scarlet color.
Immediately afterwards, countless black, withered trees silently emerged from the depths of the ground, gradually encircling and tightly binding the Buddha statue...:
It was as if a pitch-black, withered cage had been formed, locking it firmly inside.
At this moment, the eerie malevolent aura and resentment emanating from the Buddha statue resonated strongly with and merged with the Sharingan pollution left behind by Uchiha Abyss.
This eerie force continued to spread through the air, creating an indescribable sense of oppression and unease.
At that moment, the Buddha statue's previously closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing scarlet and eerie eyes that met Shinnosuke's gaze directly.
At this moment, it seemed that the Mangekyou Sharingan belonging to Fugaku within Shinnosuke's body was completely perceived and awakened by the Buddha statue.
An extremely strong surge of chakra suddenly erupted from Shinnosuke's body!
The Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes was completely extracted in an instant...
That powerful pupil energy was rapidly absorbed into the Buddha statue like flowing water.
Shinnosuke felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and then the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan completely left his body and merged into the strange Buddha statue in front of him.
His eyes quickly reverted to the normal three-tomoe Sharingan state, as if the powerful Mangekyou Sharingan had never existed.
At the same time, on the Buddha statue, where the eyes had been empty and cold, Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly appeared—a dream.
The Uchiha clan's revival...
Sharingan, Dry Wood Release, natural energy, Sage Mode, and the long-standing polluted resentment of Uchiha Abyss...
Many forces came together, ultimately forming a strange fusion unlike anything ever seen before.
The Buddha statue's mouth gradually opened, and its originally calm and solemn face began to turn ferocious and terrifying. A gloomy and chilling voice suddenly resounded throughout the room!
At this moment, Shinnosuke slowly knelt down...:
It seemed to be the most devout believer...
"The image of heretical doctrines..."
Faith, infused with mystical heretical practices, lies hidden within the Temple of Fire...
Deep within Ryuchi Cave, the dark space was filled with a cold and damp atmosphere, and water droplets slowly sliding down the stone wall made a faint but unusually clear echo.
In the shadows, a massive and heavy figure silently crouched...
The ruler of this sacred place, the master of Ryuchi Cave, is the White Snake Immortal.
At that very moment, the White Snake Immortal slowly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed for so long.
It flicked its tongue slightly, its deep voice revealing obvious displeasure and doubt:
"How strange... I'm not that sleepy old toad from Mount Myōboku, so how come I'm having dreams?"
Recalling the scene in his dream, the White Snake Immortal's expression gradually became serious.
In that dream, he actually saw the Sage of Six Paths, who found him in a rare way by appearing in his dream.
In the dream, the Sage of Six Paths appeared unusually respectful and solemn as he made his request to the White Snake Sage.
They hoped to help Kakashi of Konoha learn Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode and the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique.
"The Sage of Six Paths..."
"We don't have any connection, so why would you choose to ask me for help?"
After a moment of contemplation, the White Snake Sage gradually understood the Sage of Six Paths' motives for doing so.
Inorganic Reincarnation, a sage technique that manipulates inanimate matter in nature, is so powerful that it can alter the landscape on a large scale and even reshape the ninja world.
He probably hoped that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha would also master this power, so that they could carry out large-scale landform modification before the apocalypse, thus buffering the impact of the ninja world's destruction.
Thinking of this, the White Snake Immortal's gaze gradually became solemn and cautious.
After all, only someone with an extremely large amount of chakra like Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, could withstand and support such a massive amount of Sage Mode power.
However, even if one is willing to assist, truly inheriting the immortal techniques of Ryuchi Cave is by no means an easy task.
"Inorganic Reincarnation... Even with enough chakra, mastering and controlling it is a level of difficulty that most people cannot withstand."
The magical arts of Ryuchi Cave have always been extremely dangerous. Everyone who steps into Ryuchi Cave to try to cultivate magical arts is teetering on the edge of life and death.
"Since it was specifically entrusted by the Sage of Six Paths, I am quite curious to see if he can withstand the test of the Dragon Cave."
