Looking closely inside, this cave hidden 20 meters below the ground seems to have no end, and is filled with densely packed bones.
After taking two steps forward, the bones under Hatake Akira's feet creaked, which made him frown.
How many ancient beasts died?
And why is there a cave here?
Unable to help but put his hand on his chin, Hatake Akira stood there thinking for a while.
Looking at the surroundings and the bones crisscrossing the ground, Hatake Akira felt that this was like a mass grave used for sacrificial ceremonies.
In order to verify his guess, Hatake Akira took another step forward. The further he went, the more skeletons he found under his feet.
After walking a hundred steps forward, a huge altar appeared in front of Hatake Akira. The scene here was just as Hatake Akira had expected, it existed for sacrifices.
Then...who should we offer sacrifice to?
Approaching the altar, Akira Hatake found the mark used exclusively for the Tengai Otsutsuki clan in the middle of the altar.
“Is this… the place where the sacred tree was planted?”
Hatake Akira had a guess in his mind, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the mark on the altar, trying to find some useful clues from it.
However, this altar is a thousand years old, and Hatake Akira could not find anything useful from it.
Feeling extremely annoyed, Akira Hatake kicked the altar in front of him away.
Boom!
There was a loud bang accompanied by smoke and dust, and the altar in front of him was shattered, with some stones embedded in the surrounding cave walls.
"what?"
Hatake Akira let out a light exclamation and saw something under the broken altar.
Reaching out to pick it up, Hatake Akira held it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully.
It looked like a walnut, but was shiny black all over. After using his perception to investigate, Akira Hatake could discover the enormous life energy and the heart-pounding devouring power contained in it.
After looking at it for a while, Akira Hatake still had no idea what this walnut-like thing was.
"Could it be the seed of the sacred tree?"
Hatake Akira made a bold inference, but quickly denied it, "It shouldn't be. If it is the seed of the sacred tree, then where did the Ten-Tails in Kaguya Otsutsuki come from?"
It is normal for Hatake Akira to make this inference. There are only two people, Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Kaguya, and it is impossible for them to carry two seeds of the sacred tree.
However, just as Hatake Akira was about to put it away and leave to continue exploring other places, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared behind him.
It is Otsutsuki Hagoromo who has not been seen for a long time.
"Hatake Akira, that thing is not something you can touch right now."
"Otsutsuki Hagoromo, you're already dead, why are you still coming out to meddle in other people's affairs?"
Hatake Akira turned around and looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo with disdain, "Besides, I don't need anyone to tell me what to do. You said this thing is not something I can get my hands on, so I'll get my hands on it just to show you!"
"Hatake Akira, do you know what you have in your hand?"
"I don't care what it is. Now that it's in my hands, don't expect me to spit it out."
As Hatake Akira spoke, he reached out and untied the huge sealing scroll on his back, and without thinking, he sealed the thing in his hand inside.
"To tell you the truth, what you just held was a seed from a sacred tree."
"Sacred tree seeds?"
"you sure?"
Hatake Akira looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo suspiciously, "Isn't this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. With the power of this planet in the Ninja World, a single sacred tree cannot absorb it all."
"You have to know that when the fruit of the sacred tree matured, only a part of the land on the planet Ninja Realm withered."
"Well, I'll tell you why the Otsutsuki clan from outer space has to keep their eyes on the Ninja World!"
After listening to what Otsutsuki Hagoromo said, Hatake Akira already believed it in his heart.
Just as Otsutsuki Hagoromo said, when a sacred tree matures, it will absolutely absorb all the energy on a planet and completely turn the planet into a dead and withered star.
But the ninja world is different. When Otsutsuki Hagoromo swallowed the fruit of the sacred tree, the creatures in the ninja world did not suffer much damage. There is even a country not far from the sacred tree.
This is very telling, it shows that the energy contained in the planet of Ninja World is quite enormous, otherwise the Ninja World would not be so prosperous today.
The energy on a planet is limited. Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed by her two good sons, and even all the chakra in her body was stripped away, it would not be enough energy to give birth to many Six Paths-level fighters in the future.
Think about the original timeline, Six Paths Madara, Six Paths Obito, and Six Paths Sasuke and Naruto, their strengths are all at the Six Paths level, and even with the four of them, the potential of the Ninja World has not been exhausted.
The planet of Ninja World is simply a treasure!
The sealed seed of the sacred tree...
Hatake Akira's eyes moved slightly as he looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo, his face full of vigilance.
"Hatake Akira, I don't want to snatch the sacred tree seed from you, but as long as this thing exists, it will be a huge threat to the ninja world."
"I understand what you said." Hatake Akira nodded, "Then can you tell me if the Ninja World can plant another sacred tree?"
"Hatake Akira, what do you want to do?"
The look in Otsutsuki Hagoromo's eyes when she looked at Hatake Akira suddenly changed, and a very dangerous light flashed in her eyes.
"Don't think too much. I'm just asking. I have no intention of planting a sacred tree in the ninja world."
Hatake Akira explained to Otsutsuki Hagoromo calmly, "I'm just asking. You don't have to be so nervous."
"I hope it's just like you said, you're just asking, and you don't have any evil intentions."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's expression eased a little, "Judging from the potential of the ninja world, it is enough for five sacred trees to mature on this planet."
"So fierce?!"
Hatake Akira was stunned for a moment, "So if that's the case, the ninja world is capable of producing dozens of Six Paths-level warriors?"
“That’s about the number, but it’s probably not the limit.”
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's words made Hatake Akira open his eyes wide, "There are more than dozens of Six Paths-level fighters?!"
"Yes, you have never understood the power contained in the Pure Land, so you naturally don't know how great the potential of the Ninja World is."
"Is this also the reason why you have been staying close to the Pure Land?" Hatake Akira asked back.
“That’s one of the reasons.”
Otsutsuki Hagoromo did not refute, and told Hatake Akira a secret, "Another reason is that I want to delay the possibility of the ninja world being discovered by others."
"Hmm?" Hatake Akira tilted his head, "You mean, the members of the Otsutsuki clan can sense each other?"
"This is natural. Moreover, the stronger the strength and the higher the level of the vital signs, the more they will be able to sense each other's hearts."
"Before the many creatures in the Ninja World have grown up, the Ninja World must not be exposed to the sight of those people."
"So... you and your brother faked your death, and then your souls hid in the Pure Land?"
"Yes." Otsutsuki Hagoromo nodded, "So, for the future of the ninja world, please put down the seed of the sacred tree."
"You are doing this for the future of the ninja world, am I not doing this for the same?"
Hatake Akira patted the huge seal scroll standing beside him and said, "Otsutsuki Hagoromo, if you want to take it, come and take it. But if you don't want to take it, it is definitely the safest way to keep this sacred tree seed with me."
"Hatake Akira, don't you know that the seeds of the sacred tree will also attract the attention of the outer Otsutsuki people?!"
"Then let them come. I'm worried that there won't be any sacrifices from the Otsutsuki clan!"
Hatake Akira refused to give in and confronted Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo who was nearby.
Take another day off.
The sequelae of having a sheep are very severe, with severe headaches...
Chapter 343: The "ripening" plan is completed.
"Hatake Akira, I advise you again, put down the seeds of the sacred tree!"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was also really angry. His pair of purple reincarnation eyes flashed with cold light as he stared at Hatake Akira who was standing opposite him.
"Old man Yuyi, I told you, this sacred tree seed will be of great use to me!"
Hatake Akira still refused to give in, and even put the huge sealing scroll that was standing in front of him back on his back. His every move was full of provocation to Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
"Hatake Akira!"
"Otsutsuki Hagoromo!"
The two men confronted each other and a war was about to break out.
However, just when the two men's momentum reached its peak and were about to fight, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's younger brother, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, suddenly popped up and stood between Hatake Akira and Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
"Brother, we have been dead for thousands of years. Let the living take care of the affairs of the living. We should not interfere in the affairs of the ninja world."
Otsutsuki Hamura turned around and persuaded Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
"The elder brother is not as sensible as the younger brother."
Hatake Akira agreed, "Old man Yuyi, you should just guard your pure land honestly and don't interfere in the affairs of the ninja world."
"If I don't intervene, am I going to watch you drag the ninja world into the abyss?!"
"Don't be so high-sounding. Can't you see that the ninja world has become better and better due to my intervention?"
Hatake Akira still refused to give in, but with Ōtsutsuki Hamura sandwiched between them, Hatake Akira and Ōtsutsuki Hamura had no plans to fight.
"you……!"
"Brother, if Hatake Akira causes trouble, I believe he should be able to handle it with his current strength."
Otsutsuki Hamura, who was sandwiched between the two of them, was speaking for Hatake Akira again, which made Hatake Akira feel good about Otsutsuki Hamura, but at the same time he also had doubts in his heart.
It seems that Otsutsuki Hamura is on his side?
Or does Otsutsuki Hamura have other plans?
"Who cares? As long as the sacred tree seed is in my hands, everything will be fine."
