"Buddhism? What do those monks believe? Does Rope Tree-kun also believe in religion?" Orochimaru asked in some surprise, he had always thought that Rope Tree was a scientific researcher like himself, but he didn't expect him to be a religious person?

"There is no contradiction between religion and science, and some things that cannot be explained by science and technology can be solved by religious theories. I think Orochimaru should be able to change his mind and look at things rationally. Rope saw some of Orochimaru's thoughts in Orochimaru's expression and opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh? For example?" Orochimaru didn't rush to refute, but wanted to hear the rope tree's point of view.

"For example, Buddhism says that everything is born from the heart......

"I know! This is idealism, but I think everything is material, even the soul and an unknown extradimensional matter. Orochimaru, as a staunch materialist, couldn't help but interrupt.

So what exactly is the basic structure of matter? What kind of substance is the soul? It can exist forever! Why are they so different from other substances? Can you explain this in physics?" Rope asked with a disapproving smile.

Orochimaru frowned, "Although it can't be fully explained now, I believe that with the progress of science, we must ......"

"You'll be able to solve all the puzzles, right? Since there can be no scientific explanation now, we might as well listen to the Buddhist theory?"

Orochimaru finally nodded and motioned for Joki to explain the religion.

"The fact that everything has a heart is actually echoed by scientific theory! Buddhism teaches that all matter is made up of willingness, and that wishing comes from the soul, or the mind, to be exact! Rope Tree paused at this point, Orochimaru really didn't know much about certain words, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Wishpower?" Mind?"

"The so-called power of desire is the spiritual power born of our emotional fluctuations! And spirit is an important part of the chakra, so you can understand that, right?" Rope tree explained the definition of wish power for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded in understanding, "That's another name for spiritual power?" What about the mind?"

"The mind is the root of the soul, but the soul is not the mind but a part of the mind!" The rope tree roughly explains the mind.

"Oh, how exactly is the mind defined?" Orochimaru became interested in this novel theory.

According to Buddhism, the mind is divided into three levels and eight senses.

The surface layer is what mortals usually think and feel, which is the self, and is composed of six senses: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

The middle level is the self, which Buddhism calls the seventh consciousness, which arises from the contamination of the eighth consciousness by various concepts and experiences. The first seven consciousnesses are what we call the soul.

The core superego, the eighth consciousness of alayya, is called in Buddhism as Nyolai and Buddha-nature. That's what my ninja calls chaos and truth!

Our daily thoughts and thoughts will turn into willingness, and wishing is the foundation of all materials, so everything is born from the heart! ”

Orochimaru's eyes lit up excitedly after listening to Rope Tree's explanation, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and laugh, "Hehehe...... It's so much fun! A very grand and well-developed theory that can be used to explain everything in the world, even the truth we seek! There are no loopholes in the logic, but how can it be proven? How can the power of the will be the basis of all matter?"

"Want proof, don't you? Isn't that obvious? Although it is impossible to observe the microscopic world below the quark level with current technology, the existence of the Wish Power is directly proven, but as a ninja, you must not forget the principle of chakra and ninjutsu, right?" Rope Tree said calmly.

Orochimaru became even more excited when he heard this, "You mean ......"

"Yes, chakra is a combination of wish power and body energy! We all know that pure bodily energy can only be used as physical strength, but after adding the power of will, chakra can be transformed into five attributes, among which thunder and fire, although they are often mistaken for energy, we know that these two substances are composed of electrons and ions! Other soil, water, and wind directly represent the three material forms of plant solid, liquid, and gas respectively! Why is it that the energy of the body, which has an extremely low conversion rate, can be converted into mass energy after being combined with the power of willingness?" Rope asked, looking at Orochimaru, who was getting more and more excited.

"That's because the power of desire is the basis of all matter, so after combining with the energy of the body, it can be transformed into the basic form of the five substances: electrons, ions, and solid-liquid-gas! It's so much fun! I didn't expect this world to be so unscientific! Chakra's basic and miraculous existence is full of such interesting mysteries! Thank you for telling me this! Rope tree-kun! You're a genius! This is truly a great discovery of genius! Orochimaru thanked Rope Tree Jun with a fanatical expression, as a person who pursues the truth, now he finally sees a glimmer of light and direction, which makes him ecstatic.

"Ding! Orochimaru develops fanatical gratitude and recognition for the host, and gains 5,000 wishes. ”

It seems that Orochimaru's mental power is very high, and he is also very excited, and he actually set a record for the highest personal emotional willingness.

"Orochimaru, you've talked about it. I'm just picking people's teeth. Rope Tree smiled humbly.

"No, no, no! To me, the value of this theory outweighs all ninjutsu and benefits! As for picking up people's teeth? Buddhism has existed in the ninja world for so many years, but I have never heard of such a well-founded conclusion. No ninja has ever discovered the mysteries hidden in the chakra! Only Rope Tree-kun has discovered this! If it weren't for your reminder, I don't know how long it would have taken me to find out the truth! Although this theory does not bring us immediate benefits, it does point us to the direction of development! Let us be full of confidence and planning for future research and path! Otherwise, I don't know how much time and effort I have to waste! And most likely on the wrong path! ”

In fact, in the original book, Orochimaru embarked on the path of pursuing truth and eternity (true immortality and immortality) after completing the immortal life without being mortal, but he went in the wrong direction and wanted to discover the truth through absolute power (writing wheels) and power (destroying Konoha instead). It's a pity that he got away with it later, not only was his soul sealed, but also Sasuke's counterattack took away all his power, and in the end, he could only observe the world through the soul hidden in the curse seal.

When he saw that Kaguya and the Six Paths were powerful beings who had not grasped the truth and would also encounter failures and seals, he felt that he had taken the wrong path! Strength and power will not help him uncover the secrets of the truth!

What is the nature of the world? What is the cause of the cycle of life and death? What is the ultimate truth? How can we attain true eternity? These are questions that cannot be answered by power and power! Since it can't be solved, it's not the path that Uncle Snake needs! That's why he gave up his previous path and chose to gain inspiration and pursue the truth by observing the world and the development of human beings.

So he can't let anyone rule the world with infinite moon reading, how can the lifeless and unchanged world provide him with inspiration? That's why he took the initiative to show up to help Sasuke fight the enemy. Uncle Snake has not been suddenly whitewashed, nor has he ever been blackened, he has always been a scientist who pursues truth and eternity!
