I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

Chapter 211 The Intertwined Future

the following few days.

Uchiha Hikaru stayed in the palace and communicated with Maitreya about the cultivation of "natural energy".

Facts have proved that she cannot use the cultivation methods used by Maitreya. Because this secret technique is somewhat similar to the bloodline limit, it needs to be used with a specific bloodline. Therefore, it has only been passed down within the miko lineage for thousands of years and cannot be passed on to other people.

but……

At this time, the role of learning "Qi" in the Dragon Ball world begins to show itself.

——As early as when Uchiha Hikari first started to learn "ki" from Neko Sennin, Namikaze Minato had made speculations, saying that "ki" had a certain connection with natural energy, and that it would have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort when practicing celestial arts in the future. . Now, the speculation has been confirmed.

Relying on the previous training, Uchiha Hikari could sense the natural energy around him with almost no effort, and could even "see" the concentration difference of natural energy in different areas very clearly.

But the process of absorbing them was carried out very carefully by Uchiha Light.

The natural energy in the Naruto world is much more dangerous than "qi". If you are not careful during the absorption process, you will turn into a stone statue. Even Naruto, the protagonist, almost turned into a frog when he practiced Sage Mode for the first time.

If there is a chance in the future, maybe we can take them over and study them to see if we can discover some of Otsutsuki's secrets...

It is said that during that time, the earth collapsed, rain and fire filled the sky, countless mountains were razed to the ground, and countless valleys rose from the ground. Even the entire continent was torn into pieces and drifted to all directions in the world... So we The continent we are on now is the larger one. "

but……

Uchiha Hikari rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Hmm... that scene might be quite interesting?

But within two days, she sneaked out and went to the casino on the outskirts of the casino to spend money.

As for Tsunade...

"However, the 'Goddess of Mao' seemed unable to withstand the powerful energy contained in the fruit, and therefore lost control and caused great damage to the world. In the end, she was defeated and sealed by the Immortal of Six Paths.

"...According to the ancient mural records preserved in the Kingdom of Ghosts, a strange seed appeared on this continent more than a thousand years ago. No one knows when it first appeared, but it grew from a tender Starting from a bud, it gradually grew into a giant tree that connected the sky and the earth. In the process, it continued to absorb the energy in nature, almost depleting the land.

She even began to consider whether she should let Orochimaru set up a trap in Tian Nokuni's casino, and then trick Tsunade into cheating her hundreds of millions. In the end, she had to sign a deed of betrayal to pay off the debt...

Well... because of the task of sealing the demon, the Kingdom of Ghosts had just given her a generous reward. Coupled with the several million deposit given by Uchiha Hikaru, it really added up to a huge amount of money. It is naturally impossible for an old gambler like Tsunade to keep such a large amount of money in front of him and yet treat people honestly.

Thousands of years later, the sacred tree has disappeared, leaving only the heretic demon statue in Nagato's hand and nine tailed beasts scattered in various countries on the continent. It is no longer realistic to observe the development process of the sacred tree.

In theory, this plan might actually work.

That afternoon.

Uchiha thought for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

Of course she knew the story of the "Goddess of Mao" very well.

Uchiha Hikari flipped through a few pages of the album, thoughtfully.

It's just a bit mean...

However, with amazing luck, it only took Tsunade two or three days to lose a huge sum of less than 10 million. In the end, she owed millions to the casino and could only live in despair. When I came back, I started drinking to drown my sorrows.

According to Maitreya, the natural energy concentration thousands of years ago was far higher than it is now.

If she really did that, I'm afraid that the next time Brother Senju Hashirama is reincarnated by the dirty earth, he will point at her nose and scold her as a "born evil Uchiha brat"...

But that was seen in the "Naruto" manga.

Therefore, you must try it carefully after confirming that no errors will occur.

From this point of view, the Kingdom of Ghosts does have some unique features in terms of long-term inheritance, which is better than the five major countries.

"By the way, where did the seeds of the sacred tree come from? Is there a second one? If chakra originated from the sacred tree, and the sacred tree grew up by absorbing the natural energy in the planet... wouldn't it mean that, Chakra is a derivative of natural energy?”

And Maitreya's narration also made Uchiha Hikaru's thoughts wander——

By the way.

It must be attributed to the Otsutsuki clan.

Uchiha Hikaru was a little amused by this.

In the real ninja world, this was the first time she had seen such ancient records - although a lot of the information in them was incomplete. For example, they only knew the name "Uno Goddess" and did not know about Kaguya Otsutsuki. She doesn't know her name, nor her mother-son relationship with the Six Paths brothers... but such records are much older and more complete than those of Konoha and other ninja clans such as Uchiha.

It wasn't until a person called the 'Goddess of Mao' ate the fruit from the tree that this change ended. "

If I remember correctly, the "Uchiha Uchiha Fan" of the Uchiha clan is made from the branches of the sacred tree. The other ninja tools in the hands of the Six Paths Immortal, such as the banana fan and the scarf rope... seemed to be the same.

……

After asking for advice on "natural energy" for the last time, Uchiha Hikari finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked Maitreya about the "prophecy"——

While Uchiha Hikaru was concentrating on studying "Senjutsu", Kikyo was discussing "Sealing Technique" with Namikaze Minato, Eri was playing with Shion, and Esdeath was boredly raising flowers and plants.

"No need."

According to the agreement, she was supposed to continue to treat Eri and check her body.

There are still some things made with sacred trees as materials——

The reason for the sharp decline in natural energy over thousands of years...

——That’s why the first-generation shrine maidens were eroded by natural energy, and thus created monsters like sprites that were as powerful as tailed beasts.

Maitreya said and put a stack of scrolls on the table: "This is the mural in the cellar of the Kingdom of Ghosts that I have copied. You can take a look at it first. If you want to see it with your own eyes, I can take you to Check out the place where the murals are stored.”

"I heard that all the witches in the Kingdom of Ghosts have the ability to predict the future. Is this true?"

Face her doubts.

Maitreya thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes. The 'prophetic ability' of the witch lineage is activated through vision. Generally, when you meet a person for the first time, you will see several pictures about her future. images, especially the scene at the end of the other person's life.

Depending on the distance in time, the accuracy of the 'prophecy' will vary. Generally, the time limit that can be accurately predicted is within two years. If it is further away, it will gradually become blurred. "What about me, have you seen my 'future'?" "

Uchiha Hikaru pointed at himself and asked.

"Sorry, I can't see it now."

"Now?"

Maitreya hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke: "In fact, when I first met you and your companions, I 'saw' several pictures. One of them was you. Lying in a cold and dark valley, being drained of chakra and dying... But that scene disappeared almost instantly. After that, even if I actively tried to use my prophecy ability on you, I could only see a blank. ”

"valley?"

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is it...

What Miroku saw was the scene in which the Uchiha Hikari from the original timeline woke up during the Boruto period and was used and indirectly killed by Merutsu?
With doubts, Uchiha Hikaru asked a few more questions and confirmed that what Miroku saw was indeed that scene.

Moreover, this miko also "saw" Esdeath being killed by poison, Kikyo being killed by Naraku, Eri losing her life at the hands of the Holy Skeleton, and even Tsunade being chopped into two pieces by Susanoo. . These pictures, without exception, all flashed by, and without exception, they all became blank.

"...Although I'm not sure, I think this may mean that your future has been changed and you are no longer bound by the established destiny. Therefore, my 'prophecy' can no longer observe you."

Maitreya weighed his tone and gave an explanation.

"Um……"

Uchiha Hikari nodded thoughtfully.

indeed.

Except for herself, Eri, Kikyo and others are all going to die according to the original plots of each world, and the time intervals are not far apart. Among them, Esdeath may only live a few months according to the original plot. …

However, as the chat group was opened, the moment she appeared in the world of Inuyasha, Dragon Clan, and Zanchi, the fate of Eriki and others had already changed, and they were intertwined with her fate. Under such circumstances, no one can predict what their future will be like.

(In this way, the "prophecy" of the witch is indeed very similar to that of the Great Toad Immortal. They are both observations of the so-called "destiny". I just don't know if there is a supreme being in this world who controls "destiny"?)
Uchiha Hikaru thought for a moment and asked Maitreya again. After confirming that the "prophecy" ability was a gift and could not be taught or practiced, he gave up the plan of trying to learn.

……

After staying in the Kingdom of Ghosts for more than ten days, I experienced the local customs and various specialties.

Uchiha Hikari took Esdeath and others and said goodbye.

Before leaving.

Maitreya solemnly gave her his bell.

"Lord Guang, this bell is a token passed down from generation to generation by the witches. It contains the spiritual power injected by the witches of all generations, including mine. You can take it with you and observe it occasionally. Maybe it will help you practice magic. 'There's some inspiration."

"…Thank you very much."

Uchiha Hikaru raised his eyebrows in surprise, then thanked him and took the bell with both hands.

Although she is still exploring ways to absorb natural energy, she can clearly feel that this bell contains a considerable amount of energy. If she can absorb all of it, her strength may be greatly improved based on the current level. cut.

Correspondingly, after losing this bell, Maitreya's strength will probably be greatly reduced. If the demon breaks out of the seal next time, even if she is willing to sacrifice her life, she may not be able to seal it.

This gift is extremely precious both to her and to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

So Uchiha Hikaru also took out a few fairy beans from his body, wrapped them in silk cloth, and handed them back.

"This kind of bean is called 'Fairy Bean'. It is a panacea that can heal all injuries and instantly restore physical strength. Consider it a return gift from me. In addition, if the monster appears again in the future, or if the Kingdom of Ghosts encounters any difficulty that is difficult to solve, Please, you can write to me and I will come and take a look if I have time.”

"?!"

Maitreya opened his eyes slightly, declined a few words, and then accepted it with great gratitude.

the other side.

Tsunade looked over a little suspiciously: "That bean... is it really that magical? It can heal all injuries. Isn't that the same as my 'Hundred Heroes' Technique'?"

"more or less."

In Uchiha Hikari's view, the "Hundred Heroes' Technique" can only be regarded as inferior to Sendou.

At least you have to use Senju Hashirama's passive, or Uzumaki Koso and his daughter's "Healing Holy Body" to compare them together.

present.

Miroku stood there with Shion, Endo Sakumo and others, watching Uchiha Hikari walk away.

Until the figures of both parties have gradually become invisible.

Uchiha Hikaru turned to look at Tsunade next to him: "By the way, has Ms. Tsunade decided where to go? Do you want to come to my research institute to have a look? The 30 million annual salary I promised before is still valid. If For outstanding performance, additional bonuses will be given.”

"...Gudong."

When she heard the word "bonus", Tsunade swallowed lightly, then coughed and said: "This matter is of great importance, I need to think about it carefully... But when it comes to treating Eri, I promise to do my best. If necessary, I can exchange letters with Orochimaru about the progress of our research."

For Tsunade, who is now millions in debt, 30 million a year is indeed very attractive.

However, she still had concerns about cooperating with Orochimaru, a rebellious ninja, so she chose to "cooperate only for Eri's condition." However, compared with the clear rejection in the past few days, this is already a relief, so it is only a matter of time before the bottom line is lowered further.

With the seal he had made earlier, Uchiha Hikaru was not afraid of not being able to find Tsunade if something happened.

At an intersection, Uchiha Hikari stopped and waved goodbye to Tsunade.

Then, the latter took Shizune and walked to the side of the road.

Uchiha Hikari turned back again and looked at Kikyo: "Kikyo, what about you? What are your plans? Do you want to hang out with me, just to relax?"

"……Can."

Kikyo was silent for a moment and nodded.
