Open Treasure Chest Through Konoha

Two or three days passed by in a flash.

This morning, Bai Mingyu, Izumi, and Jiraiya also came to the palace where the witch lived at the invitation of a group of soldiers from the Ghost Kingdom.

Compared with the last time we met, the priestess was dressed more casually. She was wearing a loose coat and did not wear a crown. There was a ten-year-old girl sitting there kneeling next to her, clutching her mother's clothes, with a small face. He looked nervously at Bai Mingyu and the others.

"Please sit down."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"This time the monsters and monsters have been re-sealed, and the people of the kingdom of ghosts have been saved from suffering. It is inseparable from your help. I have prepared some tea here to express my gratitude, and please don't refuse. "

Saying that, the priestess took the tea in front of her and drank it down.

"Well, in fact, apart from Bai Yu, we didn't help much."

Zilai also scratched his hair and grinned a few times.

As strong as Konoha Sannin, what he can do is limited when facing monsters like sprites that are comparable to tailed beasts.Compared with the first generation of Hokage, which can enter the sage mode in just one breath, Jiraiya's sage mode is not perfect. Not only does it take a long time to accumulate energy every time it is used, but it also requires the assistance of two sages, psychic deep work and Shima. , in an explosive encounter, it is difficult to play a role.

However, the ordinary five-attribute escapism has little effect on the sprites, and it can't even hurt the latter at all.

However, Jiraiya's combat experience is extremely rich.

That night, he quickly discovered that monsters can regain their strength by devouring the flesh and blood of living people. After realizing this, Jilai also resolutely gave up confronting the latter, and instead led Wentai and Hama Jian away. On the battlefield, go to block the footsteps of the Ghost Corps and help the surviving people in Wildfire City evacuate and escape.

This kind of approach has somewhat restrained the sprites.

Therefore, when the witch and Bai Mingyu arrived, the monster had not had time to restore its strength to its peak period, otherwise, if this guy was really allowed to swallow tens of thousands of living beings in the city, its power might be destroyed. Stronger than he showed that night.

but……

Either way, the end result won't make a difference.

It's nothing more than spending a lot of effort in the process.

Bai Mingyu and Quan sat on the side of the main hall without speaking, each holding cups and drinking tea slowly.

The tea leaves used to make tea are said to be a specialty of the land of ghosts.

The spring water is also a clear spring on the mountain near the capital.

After brewing, the taste is fragrant and refreshing, sweet and clear, and it has a bit of taste in the mouth.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the witch turned her gaze to Bai Mingyu's side, and slowly got up:

"Master Jiraiya, please sit here for a while. I have sent someone to prepare the meal. Please stay and eat later. Bai Yu, come with me, and I will take you to find out the answer you want to know."

"okay."

Under the signal of the witch, Bai Mingyu stood up.

Follow her to the side door on the side of the main hall, and through a corridor, you can see several guards standing in front of a simple gate. When you open the gate, you can see the secret passage leading to the underground of the palace. , walking down the white jade-like steps, the light above the head gradually faded.

Oil lamps appeared on the walls on both sides of the steps.

As the witch advances, she lights up one by one, reflecting the shadows of the two advancing.

"This palace was built from the period of the first generation of witches. It has existed for more than a hundred years. The things written here are the deepest secrets buried in the kingdom of ghosts. It has been only among the witches of the past for a long time. Word of mouth has never been seen by outsiders."

The witch went down the stairs, talking as she walked.

"..."

Bai Mingyu was a little confused about what she meant by saying this: "Then why did you bring me here?"

"Who knows?"

The witch smiled, and said lightly: "Maybe I have kept this secret for too long, and I am very bored. I want to talk to someone, or it may be because you saved the kingdom of ghosts from the monsters." Man, even if I reveal these secrets to you, I think the first generation Priestess will not blame anything."

"Is it……"

Bai Mingyu suddenly thought of a question. After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "You said earlier that you couldn't see my future clearly. What do you mean by that sentence?"

The witch was silent for a moment, and in the dancing candlelight, only the footsteps of two people could be heard one after another.

After a long while, he slowly said: "I'm not very clear. So far, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of situation. This kind of situation is rare. Purely based on my guess, there may be two possibilities: The first possibility is that you have no future in the first place, and your fate should have ended in the past, and of course I can’t see your future that died in the past.”

"As for the second possibility..."

"Maybe in you, there is enough power to change the future. The established destiny cannot restrain you. Your destiny is in your own hands."

"?!"

Bai Mingyu's pupils shrank slightly.

The two possibilities mentioned by the witch are actually facts: Bai Mingyu is not from the world of Hokage. From the moment he crossed over, his predecessor was already dead. A dead person is of course nothing to talk about. future.From another point of view, Bai Mingyu, who has the treasure chest system, has the ability to change the plot, so he cannot be bound by the established fate.

His existence is itself an exception.

The witch didn't look back, and didn't care about what Bai Mingyu was thinking, she stopped slowly, and when she arrived here, the winding stairs extending underground had come to an end, and in front of her was an unusually thick vermilion door.

Above the gate, a group of patterns with unknown meanings were drawn impressively.

It looks like some kind of rune, a little mysterious.

The witch raised her hands and slowly made a few handprints. During the surge of spiritual power, the runes on the door quietly lit up, and then opened to both sides silently.

"come in."

Step forward again.

After walking a dozen steps forward, the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up.

What appeared in front of Bai Mingyu was a huge underground space, which seemed to be built relying on the rock walls and caves in the ground. There were not many traces of man-made excavation, but more of it was naturally formed by nature. uncanny workmanship.On the surrounding high rock walls and the dome of the cave, one can still vaguely see clusters of shining luster, and it is the luminous stone inlaid in it, which is emitting a hazy light.

Each luminous stone is the size of a fist, and if it is dug up and sold in the outside market, it may be priceless.

Compared with these, what attracts Bai Mingyu's attention more is the murals on the rock walls and domes, which seem to have been painted a long time ago, and the colors in some places are already very pale, and some text labels next to them are extremely simple , which is very different from the current text.

"Do you know how long the history of ninja world has existed?"

The witch took an oil lamp from the side and raised it slightly in her hand. The light from the candle flame opened up into a hazy circle of light, reflecting the figures of the two on the ground.

As the witch spoke, a faint echo appeared around the empty space.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Ok?"

Bai Mingyu was stunned for a moment. This question surprised him a bit. He recalled what he had read in the history textbook compiled by Konoha in his mind, and then slowly responded: "The original history of the ninja world needs to be traced back to By the time the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninja sect... from now, it was almost a thousand years ago?"

Naruto World does not have a unified calendar concept.

Almost all countries and villages adopt different calendars to record history.

Just say Konoha.

Taking the year when the first generation of Hokage and Uchiha Madara jointly created Konoha as the first year of Konoha, then this year will be Konoha's 55th year.The other major ninja villages were established after Konoha was established, so the timeline should be a little later. For example, for Sand Hidden Village, this year is the 54th year of Sand Hidden.

As for before the first year of Konoha...

It was the Warring States period that lasted hundreds of years.

During that time, each ninja family was divided into one side by family as a unit. Some families were attached to the aristocratic class of the country to which they belonged and became armed forces under the command of the daimyos of various countries, while some simply established a regime or country by themselves.It is common for various ninjas and countries to attack each other and even perish.Even the current five major countries have grown and risen step by step in the perennial melee, and only then have they established their indestructible status as a powerful country.

In this case, there is no calendar at all.

Except for the big ninja clans like Senshou, Uchiha, and Hinata, many small families have been destroyed with historical changes, and even the genealogy cannot be found.

This was still the case during the Warring States period,

It is even more difficult to verify the mythical period in which the Immortals of the Six Paths lived.

I only know that it was a long, long time ago, and most people don't care how long this "long time" was. In addition, the historical materials of that period are almost lost. If you want to research the specific year, even for professional historians Saying it is an impossible thing.

——So, in the later period of the original Naruto, most ninjas didn't even know the existence of Kaguya Hime.

"Over a thousand years..."

After hearing Bai Mingyu's answer, the witch smiled, and said lightly: "Almost, then, before that?"

"What was the ninja world like before the Sage of the Six Paths appeared?"

"that time……"

Bai Mingyu narrowed his eyes slightly. Having read the plot of the original novel, he certainly knows what the world was like before the appearance of the Sage of the Six Paths—when Kaguya Ji came here from the sky, human beings had already lived on this continent for a long time , and even the concept of a country, but ordinary people don't know what chakra is, so there is no such thing as ninjutsu. As for the ninja world, it is even more impossible to talk about it.

but……

The Three Great Immortals already existed.

At least the Great Toad Immortal of Miaomu Mountain was born before the appearance of the Six Paths!

Even the sage mode is taught to the sages of the Six Paths by it.

So... what is the relationship between the immortal mode of the three great immortal lands and the spiritual power of the maiden?

Bai Mingyu thought secretly.

The witch waited for a while, looked at his expression, and continued, "Maybe you don't know that the history of the continent under our feet can be traced back to a long, long time ago, before the legendary Sage of the Six Paths appeared. , it has already existed, it has bred generations of human beings for many years, and there are countless birds and beasts multiplying...

At that time, there was no ninja profession in the world, and there were no five major countries. People in a place gathered spontaneously, farmed, worked, fished and hunted according to the agreed rules, and formed tribes, and then in the long history evolved into countries...

During this process, a small number of human beings discovered the energy hidden in their bodies and in the nature. They gradually explored some skills, tempered their bodies and souls, and developed many martial arts, sword skills, and spells on this basis... …The former are collectively referred to as samurai, while the latter are referred to as shrine maidens. "

"warrior……"

This title is easily reminiscent of another country in the ninja world——

Iron country.

Like the kingdom of ghosts, it also exists independently of the Ninja sect and has a long history, and their armed forces are warriors who practice swordsmanship!

"Have you thought about it, that's right, the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, like our priestess lineage, can be traced back to before the emergence of the ninja sect, but after thousands of years of historical changes, the warrior lineage can thrive and continue So far, we have even established our own kingdom of warriors. As for our lineage of witches, from the first generation of witches to the present, the only ones still living on this continent are Shion and me."

The witch sighed faintly, with a hint of despondency in her tone.
