Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

Finally, 10 minutes later, Kurosaki and Ichigo arrived in front of the altar.

Kurosaki Ichigo made a careful gesture to Nariko, then stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the altar, only to feel something strange in the tentacles.

Seeing her companion's expression moving slightly, Nali couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?" She couldn't help but reach out and touch the table of the altar.

With this touch, Naliko suddenly discovered that there were a large number of deep and shallow indentations carved on the altar surface, like pictures.

Not to mention that she really guessed it right. When the two of them squinted their eyes and took a closer look, they both discovered that the surface of the altar was engraved with pictures that were layered like murals.

It's just that these pictures appear very shallow on the white jade altar, and you can't find them at all if you don't observe carefully.

Kurosaki Ichigo and Nariko looked at each other, and both read the confusion in each other's eyes, because there was no information about these pictures in the narrative of Ichimura in the castle.

Just in case, Kurosaki Ichigo took Nariko and walked around the altar, and found that the layers of pictures on the altar were arranged in a counter-clockwise direction, and their functions seemed to be similar to the original murals. They all describe some events.

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't understand much about these things, but Nari knew something about them.

"Did you see something?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked with some anticipation as Nariko frowned and observed these pictures carefully.

Nariko continued to look at the pictures while answering, "I can only translate part of it based on what I can see and combined with my guesses."

"It would be good to be able to translate part of it." Kurosaki Ichigo nodded. He didn't have much hope for this, so having a few clues was an unexpected surprise.

After a long time, Naliko hesitated and said, "Based on these pictures, the story should be like this. A long time ago, there was a magical ore that glowed in the world, and people started many wars to fight for it."

Kurosaki Ichigo's expression changed, "What kind of ore is the Grayl Stone?"

"How do I know? It's not detailed." Nari rolled her eyes at Kurosaki Ichigo who interrupted, seeming a little annoyed by his behavior, and then pointed at the picture and translated, "Then one day, A seed fell from the sky, took root and sprouted on the earth, and grew into a huge tree."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the picture that Nariko pointed at. It showed a lush and towering tree. The large number of small dots in front of the tree should be a person. It seemed that the tree was indeed quite huge.

Nariko continued, "As the giant tree grew, the magical ore also disappeared. People therefore believed that the giant tree was a sacred pillar and began to worship it."

"This logic is really touching." Kurosaki Ichigo said casually.

"Those are primitive people. They are not as smart as you. Listen carefully," Nali said unhappily.

Kurosaki Ichigo quickly waved his hand "Okay, okay"

"It's just that although those magical ores disappeared, the war continued until the sacred tree bore fruit," Nariko paused and said, "A woman who fell from the sky like the sacred tree came to this land. After picking and eating the fruit, the woman seemed to be worshiped as a god and the war was quelled."

"Then what?" Seeing Nariko stop again, Kurosaki Ichigo asked hurriedly.

Naliko took another look at the pictures, "Then I'm not sure about the content behind it. Part of the picture seems to show the goddess giving birth to two children, and the other part seems to show the goddess and three similarly dressed men. After the battle, there is no scene after that.”

Hearing Nariko's answer, Kurosaki Ichigo was also confused. The first content was easy to understand, but the latter content was really difficult to explain. Not only him, but Nariko felt the same way.

After thinking for a while, Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's good to know these contents. At least we can now confirm that this Gaotian Temple should be the residence of the goddess."

Naliko nodded, "Yes, and according to my speculation, the sacred tree should have grown by absorbing the power of the Greel Stone. No wonder there has been no legend about the Greel Stone in the ninja world for so many years. It turns out they have been absorbed a long time ago.”

Just hearing what Nari said, Kurosaki Ichigo's face suddenly turned pale, "Nana"

Looking at his expression, Nariko immediately guessed Kurosaki Ichigo's thoughts, so she quickly comforted her by saying, "The Greer vein that sealed the Cave of Time should be fine, otherwise this continent would have been destroyed by the Cave of Time." Destroyed”

Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo's expression gradually improved, he nodded towards Nariko, and then turned his gaze to the center of the altar in front of him.

A small semi-elliptical hollow suddenly appeared in the center of the altar, while complex lines were engraved around the hollow, shimmering slightly with fluorescence.

As soon as he saw the hollow, Kurosaki Ichigo's heart moved. He looked at Nariko again and found that she was also looking at him, so he reached into his arms and touched it.

Then an emerald green gem appeared in his hand, and the azure fluid substance flowed under the emerald green shell, emitting a breathtaking light.

Grayl's Stone

"It looks like that's where the Greyel Stone is placed," Nariko glanced at the hollow, then turned to look at Kurosaki Ichigo and asked, "What should we do?"

Kurosaki Ichigo weighed the Greel Stone in his hand and couldn't help but think, "Perhaps if we put the Greel Stone in, more clues will appear, but this will risk losing or destroying the Greel Stone, and If you touch it again after putting it up, it may cause disaster.”

"Don't hesitate." Seeing that Kurosaki Ichigo was in trouble, Nari expressed her opinion in a rare moment, "If there are no more clues, it will be useless for us to keep it."

I have to say that Nariko's words really touched Kurosaki Ichigo greatly, causing him to make a decision immediately. He took a deep breath and gently threw his right hand.

The Grayl Stone that was taken out of Ichigo Kurosaki drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and then fell steadily into the hollow in the altar, fitting perfectly.

At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo had tensed every muscle in his body, and at the same time, his right hand had grasped the handle of Zhenheng's knife on his back, ready to deal with danger at any time.

As the Greel Stone was embedded in the altar, wisps of azure light leaked from the Greel Stone and seeped into the complex patterns beside the cave, as if the fluid material in the Greel Stone had flowed into it.

Under the infusion of those mysterious fluids, the complex lines emit a gentle blue light, and flicker on and off as if they are alive, as if they are breathing.

At the same time, Kurosaki Ichigo and Nariko clearly felt that the house was getting warmer, and a light feeling was active in the entire palace.

The two looked around nervously, but apart from that, nothing happened here, at least in Naliko's opinion.

However, Kurosaki Ichigo frowned, because in his perception, an inexplicable chakra fluctuation suddenly came from the altar and shot towards the southwest.

"Ichigo" Nari saw that Kurosaki Ichigo had a different look on his face, so she patted him.

Kurosaki Ichigo came to his senses and said "Ah"

"Why are you stunned?" Naliko asked.

"It's okay." There was no other abnormality on the altar. Kurosaki Ichigo glanced to the southwest. It seemed that the fluctuation of chakra just now was just his illusion, so he shook his head and turned his attention again.

However, that chakra fluctuation was not Kurosaki Ichigo's illusion, and he had arrived in the distant Land of Grass in just a blink of an eye.

This country was in a state of collapse after the army led by Senju Toma wiped out a large number of its effective forces. Although it still has its own shinobi village, its strength has fallen from the level of a big country to a relatively powerful small country.

In this Ninja World War, as one of the allies of the Fire Country, the Grass Country became one of the battlefields where the Earth Country and the Fire Country faced off. The fire of war once again came to this land after many years. On fire.

But not everyone in the Country of Grass felt painful about this war, such as those members of the martial arts faction Kusanagi who had been wiped out by the Konoha Expeditionary Force.

After the power of the moderate Kusanagi was greatly damaged by the war, Kusanagi successfully regained control of the Kingdom of Kusana, but she was afraid of Konoha, who was so skinny that a camel was bigger than a horse, so she never dared to show it.

Of course, the target of this fluctuation is not the stronghold of Kusanagi, but another secret base in the country of Kusanagi.

This base was established five years ago, and its owner once shocked the entire ninja world. It can be said that the name Uchiha Madara was almost able to stop a child from crying at night.

It's just that time and injuries have caused him to lose the power to watch everything in the past. Now Uchiha Madara can only linger in this secret base, hoping that he can study the opposite interaction between the two before the end of his life. The mystery of Luo Wanxiang.

However, the target of this fluctuation was not this strong man. Although he keenly sensed something strange, it was only attributed to the dulling of perception caused by aging.

The real target of this chakra fluctuation that spans half of the ninja world is a group of black liquid hidden in this secret base.If you don't see this liquid with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one will be able to perceive it.

And it was precisely because of this natural endowment that it was able to provoke one brutal war after another in the thousands of years after the death of Immortal of Six Paths.

Its name is Jue.
