Roll back from Naruto

After Aragaki absorbed part of the soul power delivered to him by Senju Hashirama, he could indeed feel the specialness of this soul power.

This soul power contains an energy that cannot be easily explained in words. If I had to describe it, should I say that this energy is more "active" and even gives people the illusion of having life and consciousness.

Moreover, he also discovered that this "500-year" spiritual power was still as weak as a water molecule compared to Aragaki's own vast spiritual power.

However, this water molecule showed an extremely strong and overbearing devouring and aggressive behavior.

It can actually plunder and eat ordinary spiritual energy continuously, and then replicate itself and grow stronger. This even makes Aragaki's scalp numb.

It's like the hero who fell to the bottom of the cliff thought that he taught his skills to his grandfather just so that he could have successors, but he never thought that this grandfather actually wanted to take away his life.

So for a moment, Aragaki Tsugumi even had the illusion that Senju Hashirama wanted to take the opportunity to "seize" him.

However, reason told Aragaki that Senju Hashirama had no such plot at all, because if Senju Hashirama really had such a plot, then the spiritual power he had just transferred into his body would be more than "500 years". Clicked.

After all, for Senju Hashirama, such a small amount of spiritual power is just a scrap picked out from between his fingernails.

Naturally, Aragaki would not continue to develop and grow this spiritual power without restraint, so with a thought, he simply threw this power into the black hole without leaving any trace.

Sure enough, after this force was imprisoned in the void of the black hole, it immediately behaved itself. After all, it could no longer contact the power of other souls in the void.

At the same time, this also more and more confirms Aragaki's previous conjecture that the source of Senju Hashirama's power comes from the sacred tree, and only the sacred tree has such domineering power that it can swallow ordinary chakra and even tailed beast chakra. Ability.

Of course, the same applies if chakra is replaced by the power of the soul. After all, chakra is one of the forms of the power of the soul in the human world.

However, the question arises again. If this power derived from divine magic is allowed to completely devour and transform Aragaki himself, what will be the consequences?

He didn't know, but he didn't dare to gamble, so he chose to isolate and restrict this power.

So with this question in mind, Aragaki asked Senju Hashirama, who was looking at him expectantly.

"Hashirama, actually I have a question for you. When you gamble in the casino, the capital you use is your own spiritual power, right?"

The reason why he asked this was because Aragaki wanted to know whether the spiritual power "lost" by Senju Hashirama would have such a devouring and assimilating effect on other people's souls.

But Senju Hashirama looked confused, "Why are you asking that? I looked at your expression just now, and I thought you finally understood something from it. But it seems like you have encountered some trouble."

Aragaki explained: "The reason is this. After I absorbed your spiritual power just now, I could detect that your spiritual power was trying to devour my original spiritual power, and then reproduced and multiplied itself, so I just We can isolate them temporarily.”

In response, Senju Hashirama frowned and replied seriously: "No, I can tell you responsibly that after I lost my spiritual power to other people, they did not have the similar reaction as you said.

And if this is really the case, then I am afraid that all the ghosts in this spiritual capital will be assimilated by me."

Yes, Aragaki, he can be sure that Senju Hashirama is not lying, because if this devouring and assimilation reaction that happens to himself also applies to other ordinary souls.

So in the past few decades, according to the speed at which Senju Hashirama, the "gambler", has dispersed his wealth, I'm afraid not everyone will become his "shape".

But why did this wonderful "chemical reaction" happen to Aragaki?

"Aragaki, actually I suggest you try to see if you can fully control the spiritual power I gave you."

"Okay, then I'll try."

In fact, the devouring and assimilation of spiritual power is not the most critical part of the problem. The most important thing is to find out whether this kind of power that reacts to Aragaki alone will cause any harm to him.

The next second, I saw Aragaki controlling the black hole in the void within his body to slowly release the power that was originally divine magic, and finally formed a "spiritual compression bomb" the size of a rice grain on his fingertips.

Then, he bounced towards the ground and exploded with a bang, only to see a crater the size of a washbasin.Compared with ordinary spiritual power, this special spiritual power is indeed much more powerful.

During the entire process, Aragaki did not feel any discomfort or suffer any backlash.

So, does this also mean, "the power of the sacred tree"? Let's call this power that way for the time being.

The power of the sacred tree actually does no harm. The process of it devouring ordinary spiritual power and strengthening itself can be regarded as a kind of "renewal".

It completely replaces old things with new ones, so it shows the attributes of "devourment" and "assimilation".

But Aragaki always felt that things were not that simple.

Because, if he just allowed the power of the sacred tree to assimilate it, wouldn't it mean that the so-called "old" is himself?

So Aragaki has been thinking about how he is different from other people.

Is it because of the black hole in my chest?

No, the power of the sacred tree can obviously be suppressed by the black hole, and the power of the sacred tree is not qualified to assimilate it.

But is his soul different from ordinary people because of being a time traveler? After all, strictly speaking, Aragaki's soul does come from another world and is not a native of this world.

And not long ago, Yama also said that he is not within the Three Realms and Five Elements, right?

"Aragaki, although my power does not cause any harm to you at present, I still want to remind you that if you can control and isolate it, it is best to do so. You can try to use and manipulate it , but you must also understand that only the power that truly belongs to you is the most reliable."

Senju Hashirama did not blindly persuade Aragaki to let him accept this power with confidence and boldness. It can be seen that the simplicity and nobility of his character were completely based on Aragaki's consideration.

Perhaps this is why Senju Hashirama was able to choose without hesitation to sacrifice his own life in exchange for a handshake and peace between Uchiha and the Senju clan, which completely moved Uchiha Madara, who fell in love with him and killed him. .

So this also made Aragaki feel good about him. After all, he thought that he might never be able to become such a person who was supreme in justice and could sacrifice his ego for the sake of justice, but this did not prevent him from hoping to become friends and companions with such people.
