Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Chapter 342 The whole story

The news coming from the mouth of the witch is absolutely subversive to ordinary people.

This has nothing to do with the level of IQ, but because of the limitations of overall human cognition. Even Nara Shikaku and his son, with an IQ of 200, cannot understand what plate drift is, what crustal movement is, and it is even less possible for them to know what is under their feet. The planet is round.

For the vast majority of humans living in the world of Naruto, the ninja world with the five major nations as the main body is the entire world in their cognition.

If you know that there are other continents outside this continent, it is inevitable to be shocked.

But for Bai Mingyu, this is just a simple matter of common sense.

So his reaction has always been calm.

And this, from the perspective of the indigenous people of the Naruto world, seems a bit strange.

Fortunately,

The witch didn't mean to struggle with this issue. She seemed to just say it casually, turned around, slowly raised her steps and walked forward:

"A long time ago, the continent under our feet was far larger than it is now. Various creatures and humans lived on this land together, because the energy in nature is extremely abundant, not only humans, but also some birds and animals. He also gradually developed spiritual wisdom, figured out how to practice with the help of these energies, and transformed into all kinds of monsters.

Miaomu Mountain, Shigu Forest, and Longdi Cave, the psychic beasts living in these places are typical representatives.

There are also some monsters, which are called monsters. After they have powerful power, they wantonly destroy the homes that people have built with hard work and feed on human flesh and blood. Most ordinary people are helpless when facing them and only have the same body. Only witches with spiritual power can seal or kill them. This is also the mission that our witch lineage has shouldered for generations. "

As she spoke, the miko stopped.

Lift the oil lamp in your hand upwards.

On the mural above the head, there are paintings with clumsy lines. There are rare and exotic beasts that stand upright, and there are also terrifying monsters that open their bloody mouths and swallow half of the city in one gulp, choosing people to eat at will. There are all kinds of human beings, including ordinary farmers with hoes, samurai with swords, and witches with magic skills.

"that is to say"

"The spiritual power of the witch lineage and the immortal mode of the three great immortal lands are actually the same thing."

Bai Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then asked the question.

The miko hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, it's okay if you understand it this way. The so-called spiritual power is actually the result of energy absorbed from nature and continuously refined in the body. However, not everyone can achieve this kind of refining, and even Not everyone can absorb natural energy, only a very small number of people with special physiques have the possibility to absorb it, and this ability can be passed down to future generations along with the bloodline."

"However, more than a thousand years ago, something big happened on this continent."

"A strange seed appeared on this continent for unknown reasons, took root in the earth, and continued to grow into a towering tree. In the process, the energy in nature began to decrease sharply, and most of the Part of it was absorbed by the big tree, until a human being called the goddess of Mao appeared and swallowed the fruit of the sacred tree, ending this change.

The natural energy absorbed by the sacred tree underwent certain changes during the process, and when it reappeared between heaven and earth, it had turned into what is now called chakra. The concepts of ninja and ninjutsu also began to appear at that time. "

Footsteps rustled forward.

As the miko stopped again, Bai Mingyu looked up.

I saw a huge sacred tree appearing on one of the murals.

"Not long after the sacred tree appeared, another earth-shattering incident occurred."

"No one can tell clearly how big the accident was. Even the first-generation miko-sama has never experienced it personally. It is said that countless mountains were razed to the ground, and countless valleys rose from the ground. The sky collapsed and the earth split, and the rain The waves set off by the fire-filled sea were thousands of meters high.

In the end, even the entire continent was torn into pieces and scattered to various places with the raging tides.

The first generation of miko-sama traveled across the ocean from one of the continents, following the traces of the monster monster. After going through all the trouble to seal it, she herself suffered a huge blow and had to stay in this land. The humans who had been saved by the first-generation shrine maidens also settled on this land. After a hundred years of recuperation, the current ghost country gradually formed.

This is the origin of the relationship between witches and monsters. "

It all fits together.

Not just the ninja world

And the entire history of the Naruto world

As the witch narrated, a clue gradually became clear in Bai Mingyu's heart.

That's it

No wonder the demons, which cannot be harmed by any ninjutsu, are only restrained by the spiritual power of the miko.

In a sense, the power possessed by the miko lineage is simply another form of sage mode.

The essence of spiritual power is actually extremely refined natural energy.

As for chakra, it is the alienated product of the combination of natural energy and the sacred tree.

It's hard to say whether this kind of alienation is good or bad. Although the result of alienation is that natural energy degrades into chakra, and its power and other aspects are greatly weakened, this weakening also greatly reduces its power. It's so dangerous that even ordinary children can learn to refine chakra to release ninjutsu.

To know,

The original natural energy, except for a very small number of talented people, the vast majority of people who absorb it have only one outcome, which is death.

In addition, it is not difficult to guess the "earth-shattering incident" that the witch mentioned:

It was probably the battle between the Six Paths Sage brothers and Kaguya.

Although I have known for a long time that this family is very powerful, but one fight can actually tear the entire continent apart. This is really outrageous.

"Miko-sama,"

Bai Mingyu took a deep breath, looked up at the witch in front of him, and said, "Can you teach me the method of refining spiritual power you mentioned?"

""

The miko was silent for a moment, with a faint smile on her face, and she slowly shook her head: "Sorry, this ability is rooted in the blood of our mikos of all generations and cannot be taught to outsiders in other ways. But that Jiraiya Isn't your lord the one who signed a contract with Myoboku-san? It should be easier for you to learn Myoboku-san's sage mode from him."

Bai Mingyu shook his head, noncommittal.

He and Jiraiya are not in a master-disciple relationship. Although the latter acts carelessly and is a bit cynical, he is very cautious when it comes to accepting disciples. There is the prophecy about the child of destiny made by the Great Toad Sage, It was also unlikely that Jiraiya would accept a disciple casually.

Compared to Mt. Myoboku, perhaps finding a way to learn the sage mode of the Shiggy Bone Forest from Tsunade has a higher chance of success.
