Chapter 463: Night Talk in the Garden, Fighting Otsutsuki Alone
The Shadow Mansion seemed particularly lively tonight. After Uchiha Mikoto and Asuna knew that their son would be fine, they also had the heart to chat and laugh with Kushina and her mother-in-law. The living room suddenly became like a vegetable market...
Liuyun didn't want to disturb their chat party, so he took the initiative to invite Minato to go to the garden together.
"Ryuun-kun, what are you going to do with Jiraiya-sensei and Hokage-sama...?" Minato tried to test Ryuun's attitude.
"I will respect their ideas... You've been caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu before, so I guess you know about that beautiful dream, right?"
"Yes, I know. It was the Sage of Six Paths who woke me up at that time..." Minato said hurriedly.
"I will ask for their opinions in my dream. If they are willing to join the Hidden Sound Village, I welcome them. If they don't want to join, they can only be ordinary people..." Liuyun handed a cup of tea to Minato while speaking.
As the holder of the sacred tree, he can control the infinite Tsukuyomi dreams at will. These words made Minato understand his determination. Ryuun did not intend to target Naruto, and he treated other people he knew in Konoha the same way.
"Are other ninja villages besides Otogakure the same?" Minato continued to ask.
"Of course it's different... I've already annihilated the Hidden Cloud Village. I've also killed all the Daimyo of various countries, including everyone in their Daimyo's mansion. The chakra of the remaining ninjas will all belong to the Divine Tree..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Minato was so frightened that he couldn't hold the teacup steadily. Fortunately, Liuyun used gravity to absorb it at the critical moment, otherwise the exquisite teacup would have been broken again.
"I'm...I'm sorry...I lost my composure..." Minato quickly apologized.
He never expected that Liuyun would be so cruel. He could slaughter a ninja village with a population of nearly 100,000 at will. What's more terrifying is that those noble daimyos who control the world's economy and people's lifelines... were also killed by Liuyun!
This thunderous move really scared Minato!
"It doesn't matter..."
Liuyun waved his hand and continued:
"There will be a power vacuum in this world for a period of time. I have prepared the Yinyin Village to unify the countries by force."
These words were a direct showdown with Minato.
After a long moment of shock, Minato smiled wryly and sighed, "Unifying the nations by force... is truly in line with Liuyun-kun's style..."
"When you said you wanted to wipe out the ninjas from all nations, it really wasn't a joke..."
Konoha did not take that statement as a joke, but in the end it still failed to stop Liuyun from achieving his goal. The so-called war preparations were simply a joke in the face of god-like power.
"I always said I seldom joke..."
Liuyun rolled his eyes at him and smiled, and Minato felt that the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"That sacred tree, having absorbed so much chakra, will it continue to grow..." Minato asked tactfully. He actually wanted to remind Liuyun that the roots of the sacred tree had seriously affected the entire world, but then he thought that Liuyun should know about this, so he didn't dare to ask directly.
"The Divine Tree... He is the ancestor of chakra. All the chakra in our bodies comes from the Divine Tree. He is just recycling the chakra that is scattered outside..."
"Of course, these scattered chakras have become extremely large after being spread from generation to generation. Even the sacred tree cannot absorb so much chakra in one go. Therefore, I have not yet retracted the roots covering the world. Let everyone dream for a few more days. After all, they have already paid the reward (chakra)."
Liuyun was in a good mood tonight, so he was willing to reveal so much information to Minato.
"Chakra comes from the sacred tree... Isn't chakra something we cultivate through our own hard work..." Minato couldn't help but ask.
"Yes... and no..." Liuyun said something that confused Minato, but then Liuyun explained the meaning of this sentence:
"Before the Divine Tree descended upon this world, people in this world did not possess the ability to produce chakra..."
"The sacred tree came from outer space. There was a race outside the sky that specialized in serving the sacred tree. It was called the Otsutsuki clan. There was a woman in the Otsutsuki clan named Kaguya. Kaguya served the sacred tree wholeheartedly for many years, and finally made it bear the sacred fruit..."
"The fruit of the sacred tree is also known as the 'Chakra Fruit'. It is made of pure chakra, which is the original source of chakra on our planet..."
"In order to protect herself and to quell the war, Kaguya ate this chakra fruit. Perhaps because she couldn't digest such a huge amount of power after eating the chakra fruit, Kaguya gave birth to two sons. One son is named Hagoromo, who is the Six Paths Sage who helped you escape..."
"The Sage of Six Paths is like the original seed of chakra. He spread the chakra seeds to the world and took this opportunity to establish the millennium-old ninja sect..."
"At this point, those who possessed chakra seeds gained the ability to cultivate chakra and perform powerful ninjutsu. This... is the origin of chakra and ninjas!"
Liuyun's lengthy speech left Minato dumbfounded, so much so that he couldn't recover even after his tea had gone cold. The shock Liuyun brought to him tonight was simply too much!
After a long silence, Minato finally digested the information:
"Mr. Liuyun is very knowledgeable. I have learned a lot tonight..."
"But I'm curious, is the reason why Liuyun-kun took back the chakra through the sacred tree in order to recreate the chakra fruit..."
Liuyun smiled and nodded after hearing this: "Yes, I do need the Chakra Fruit..."
"The Otsutsuki clan possesses immense power and a long lifespan. Their primary goal is to cultivate the sacred tree. Any planet with life that is targeted will suffer a tragic end. They regard all living things as nurseries, leaving no grass to grow and everything to wither wherever they pass, all for the sole purpose of nurturing the sacred tree and obtaining the chakra fruit..."
Minato was very puzzled by Liuyun's words. He immediately asked, "Since the sacred tree is so evil, why did Liuyun-kun learn from the Otsutsuki clan..."
He knew clearly that it was not right to do so, but he still did it. Minato did not understand Liuyun's behavior, and he did not understand why he still said these things.
"According to reliable information... our planet is not the only one with Otsutsuki of Kaguya's lineage. Otsutsuki from outer space have also set their sights on this place and are on their way..."
Hearing this, Minato's expression suddenly changed, and he vaguely guessed Liuyun's purpose:
"So you want to create a second chakra fruit in order to gain even greater power and fight those outer enemies alone?"
"Yes, the chakra that has been spreading for a thousand years is enough for the sacred tree to bear fruit. After obtaining the chakra fruit, I will imprison the sacred tree forever. I will not let it continue to harm this planet. At the same time, I will also have the power to compete with the Otsutsuki clan..."
They were an ancient race that had existed for countless thousands of years. No one knew how many planets the Otsutsuki had harvested, or how many fruits they had eaten...
Even Liuyun couldn't imagine how terrifying the background of this immortal race was. He would not be so arrogant as to think that he could defeat them now.
