Among the four white meditation rooms, only a lone stone platform sits in the center of the room, and even if there is no light, the lighting effect of the walls makes this white quiet room almost as bright as day.

On the stone platform slumbered a male, breathless, pale and muscular, apparently dead for a long time.

However, because it is well preserved, the flesh is a little stiff, but there is no bad condition.

Other than that, the white quiet room was empty, and there were no other furnishings.

Shiraishi pushed the door and walked into the quiet room, and after closing the door, the first thing he did was to look at the quietly sleeping corpse of the 'young man' on the stone platform.

It is said that it is a teenager, but in fact, because of the appearance of this male corpse, it looks like it is about a teenager, with a rather immature baby face, as if it has not fully grown up, but people who are familiar with the identity of a 'teenager' will not think so.

Because the identity of this corpse before his death was the fourth generation of Mizukage of Wuyin Village, Goji Yakura, the former three-tailed human pillar force.

Due to Xiao's plot, he died not long ago, and even the tailed beast in his body was deprived.

Judging from the fact that the tailed beast in the opponent's body could not be sensed, such a thing was a foregone conclusion.

Shiraishi approached the stone platform, stood still beside him, touched his chin, and lightly swept up and down Yakura's body.

The smell of a genuine corpse, and whether it is clothes or manners, it is preserved as usual, and it is conceivable that at the last moment of Yakura's life, he did not experience a battle, but was suddenly knocked down, and he didn't even have time to resist.

For a Five Shadows, even the first Five Shadows, such a failure is very unusual.

Fortunately, Shiraishi doesn't bother much about this kind of thing, if there is any doubt, as long as Yakura's consciousness is reawakened, everything will be revealed.

After figuring it out, Shiraishi didn't waste any time, and stretched out his palm to Yakura's forehead, and the rich green energy turned into a fluid like a stream of water, brushing over Yakura's whole body, and the originally stiff muscles slowly became relaxed.

Even the abnormal complexion, which was as pale as paper, slowly regained its blood color under the shroud of this green energy.

After the recuperation of immortal arts, the corpse has been reactivated.

The next step is to truly perform the reincarnation ninjutsu and reawaken his consciousness from the Pure Land.

Shiraishi withdrew his palm from Yakura's forehead, and looked at Yakura, who already looked like a living person, thoughtfully.

"Pure Land ......"

Shiraishi has actually had many speculations about this place.

No matter what kind of reincarnation ninjutsu it is, resurrecting the dead is almost impossible to bypass the Pure Land.

Therefore, in this world, apart from the Pure Land, there are not a few other places that take in the 'dead'.

The avatar he created, the Child, possessed the ability to receive the souls of the dead.

The ghouls of the Vortex Clan are sealed, and they also have the ability to preserve the souls of the dead.

The witchcraft of the witch of the Oni Country is also to create a different time and space, sealing the soul of the monster in the rest out of control.

The steps of resurrection are very simple, to put it in crude terms, it is to summon the soul back from another time and space, treat it as an important part, reinstall it on the corpse, and then inject the body of the spirit and flesh into the life force.

In this way, the Pure Land is almost a similar place, some kind of extremely mysterious alternate time and space, but the space is much larger and can accommodate more souls.

"I don't know if I can directly connect to that place now......"

Shiraishi muttered to himself.

Without much thought, Shiraishi raised his hands and sealed the seal unhurriedly.

Every time a seal is formed, the immortal chakra in Baishi's body will involuntarily overflow, rippling in the air, surrounding the surrounding area and the entire stone platform area, just a blink of an eye, it consumes a lot of energy in Baishi's body, and his face is serious.

Consuming such a huge amount of immortal chakra at once, it was also very difficult for him.

And since Yakura has been dead for more than the best resurrection period, his soul has long been deeply rooted in the Pure Land, and it will take more Senjutsu Chakra than usual to bring his soul back from the Pure Land.

With the diffusion of rich life energy, the feeling of pulling became stronger and stronger, Bai Shi slowly closed his eyes, and the immortal chakra in his body was like a flood, flowing out of his body.

……

In the mist, a pair of bright eyes opened.

There was a white expanse in front of him, and his bright eyes immediately brightened up, as if something novel had happened, and he had a strong interest.

"Pure Land."

After a brief moment of surprise, two words came out of Shiraishi's mouth, and his gaze swept around, rolling everywhere in the vast white mist, and he couldn't see his five fingers, obscured by the mist.

Moreover, not only that, an extremely heavy feeling of stagnation made Shiraishi feel extremely uncomfortable, as if someone was holding him by the throat and making him unable to breathe.

This kind of suppressive force against the aliens who do not belong to this world is even more powerful than the kind of suppressive force in the belly of the god of death, as if a mountain is pressed on his body, if his soul is not strong enough, maybe at the moment of arrival, he will be assimilated by the time and space here and become a part of here.

"It seems to have succeeded, but it is a bit similar to the 'cage' created by the 'bare-son', no matter how it changes, it is basically developing in this direction."

Shiraishi paused, withdrew his wandering gaze, and stretched out his palm forward, seemingly touching the void of nothingness, but it turned out to be like grasping a tangible but invisible substance.

All of a sudden, the surrounding white fog dissipated, and the visual area visibly grew, eventually growing to a distance of several hundred meters before finally stopping.

The dry and barren earth is filled with gray skies and gloomy atmosphere.

A large number of green light sources stand like torches on this barren and barren land.

Each torch light source represents a soul.

It was as if they had collectively fallen into a deep sleep, their faces glazed and their eyes closed, like dead puppets, motionless.

The soul body is wrapped with red mist-like silk threads, which revolve around the soul body.

Bai Shi stared at the silk threads formed by the red mist, some thin, some rich, and even dyed the soul body blood-red, releasing extremely strong resentment and viciousness, like the extremely dark filth, polluting this time and space.

Shiraishi faintly felt uncomfortable, and understood that the white mist before was a kind of enchantment that isolated and cleansed the 'filth', but the efficiency was too slow, and it took a long time to draw to wash away the 'filth' on the soul.

The reason is that in the fog that has not yet dispersed, Shiraishi can faintly feel that there is a more powerful 'filth' in it, and the resentment is monstrous.

If you blow these enchantment fogs out further, you might be able to see the hell of demons dancing wildly.

Shiraishi was amused by this.

"Pure Land...... Is that what it means? ”

A world to purify the soul.

Every deceased person who leaves this world carries sin with him to one greater or lesser extent. When sinful souls come to the Pure Land, they will be purified by the supernatural powers.

As for what will be born after purification, Shiraishi is not clear.

Although he has also performed reincarnation ninjutsu in the past, after all, he is only in the present world, pulling the soul out of the Pure Land, but he has not personally touched the existence of the Pure Land, but he only knows that there is such a place.

Looking at it now, there is really some huge secret hidden on this side of the Pure Land.

"Is it over here?"

Locked onto a familiar chakra, Shiraishi controlled his soul like a flash of lightning.

Perhaps sensing a deadly threat, the soul light sources that had lost consciousness and were like puppets were like encountering fierce beasts, and they couldn't stop panicking and trembling.

Shiraishi ignored these soul light sources and stopped in front of one of the very powerful soul light sources.

This soul light source has a stronger sense of existence than the rest of the souls, and it is not wrapped around the silk threads of red mist, but the whole body is blood red, and the blood mist that is about to turn into a solid body is about to drip blood.

Through the faint blood-red light, one could vaguely see the face of Yakura, who, like those souls, was in a strange slumber.

"The resentment in the ninja is heavier......"

Shiraishi thought of the soul that Ako included in the 'Dead Soul Gun', and he was also very resentful, and the stronger the ninja, the more so.

At that time, it took him a lot of effort to clear the resentment aura from these souls and transform them into pure soul power.

However, it is still very rare for a soul like Yakura to be so red that it is about to bleed in the Pure Land.

Shiraishi pointed at Yakura's soul, and gently stretched out his hand, and a wave of energy entered it.

Yakura's soul remained motionless, and there was no sign of awakening.

"It's just that there's no recovery here...... Or is the power of the input not enough? ”

Shiraishi glanced at Yakura, who was still asleep, and showed a thoughtful look.

However, the Pure Land's suppressive power on the soul is indeed stronger than that of the Grim Reaper.

When they were in the belly of the Grim Reaper, those sealed souls, although they continued to suffer, did not fall into a deep sleep after all, and could still maintain their awake state, but they could not escape.

But the souls here in the Pure Land are all suppressed to the point where they cannot maintain consciousness.

Only an alien like him can remain free and unrestricted.

Shiraishi took a deep breath and reached out to grab Yakura's shoulder, discovering that the other party's soul was fixed in the void and could not move.

At the same time, a strong malice was released against Shiraishi.

It seems to come with some kind of warning.

“……”

He smuggled in through the moment when he connected to the Pure Land through the reincarnation ninjutsu.

In essence, the immortal chakra used to revive Yakura still lingered in the present world, that is, the yang world, and did not enter the Pure Land.

So, using consciousness to start communicating, a huge immortal chakra suddenly appeared from the void, and then sprinkled into the space of the Pure Land, merging with the air.

Shiraishi grabbed Yakura again, and found that this time he easily grabbed Yakura's soul, which was so red that it was about to drip blood.

“……”

There is an illusion of going to the mall to shop.

Senjutsu chakra is the money needed to make a purchase, and Yakura's soul is the commodity he pays for to buy.

If you don't pay money, you can't take away the goods in the store.

Pay with one hand, deliver with the other.

Shame on white prostitution.

The malice disappeared and turned from malice to goodwill and joy.

It's not just because Shiraishi has paid a considerable 'reward', but also because Yakura, a soul that is entangled in countless sins, will make this place even more filthy, and I hope to take away this trouble soon."

He also used a childish hint to tell him that he could take this troublesome soul away.

Like a child, love and hate are clear.

“…… Love fairy chakra? ”

No.

Shiraishi rejects this view.

When his soul is trained to this point, he can sense more and more things, such as a person's emotions, a person's personality, and even see the essence of a person or a thing.

It's not so much that he loves the Immortal Chakra, but that he has the rich life energy transformed from the Immortal Chakra.

In order to verify this conjecture, Shiraishi took a deep breath, and the immortal chakra appeared in the spirit body again, transforming it into life energy and continuously integrating into the void.

Thoughts of kindness swept in again, and the oppressive power of the Pure Land disappeared directly from his body, allowing him to move more freely in the Pure Land with unprecedented ease.

As time passed, this kindness seemed to take on a bit of intimacy and curiosity.

However, Shiraishi truncated the transmission of the Immortal Chakra.

The intimacy immediately turned into resentment, as if expressing his desire and dissatisfaction.

“……”

The corners of Shiraishi's mouth twitched.

He was sure that the Pure Land definitely had a consciousness of its own.

Although the intelligence of the Pure Land consciousness may not be high, he cannot see or touch it, but it will certainly not be a dead thing.

It thinks, has its own emotions, and will be angry at robbers who don't ask for it, and it will show kindness to visitors who give it favors.

It's like a creature with a certain amount of intelligence.

So, Shiraishi grabbed Yakura's soul, came to the other soul, stretched out his hand, and a faint light shrouded it, and the faint red mist on the soul dissipated like a cloud.

He wanted to test the consciousness of the Pure Land, in addition to the life energy transformed into the immortal chakra, there was another way.

That is to purify the soul.

Judging from the white mist barrier that shrouds in purifying resentment, the Pure Land seems to be very disgusted with the resentment of the souls of the dead.

If the resentment in the soul is purified, will it be possible to further develop with the Pure Land consciousness?

The red mist on the soul in front of him was removed, and the clean and refreshing breath made the soul feel like a newborn and sublimated.

Airplanes.

The air vibrates.

Baishi looked up, his face slightly stunned.

A black scroll fell out of the void and hovered in front of Shiraishi, spreading out the white paper of the scroll.

"It's ......"

Psychic scrolls!?

Shiraishi's eyes widened in astonishment, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

Pure Land...... Is it a psychic beast?

Shiraishi suppressed the horror in his heart and tried to calm his brain down.

Slowly, Shiraishi stretched out his other empty hand, using his fingers as a pen and soul energy as ink, and wrote the name of the original contractor in the first column on the scroll.

◎

When I opened my eyes, it was a strange ceiling.

Yakura felt as if he had been asleep for a century, and a sore feeling of weakness surged through his body, but he barely managed to support his body and sat up from the stone platform.

My mind was a mess, trying to think about what happened before I fell unconscious.

Eventually, he remembered that he seemed to be the leader of the Akatsuki, Nagato, and restrained Chakra by some unknown means, and was captured after losing the power to resist.

Well, the three tails......

That's right, Miao!

Suddenly remembering something, Yakura quickly sensed the three tails in his body, Iso, and wanted to talk to him.

"No need to look for it, the three tails have been stripped away."

A familiar voice sounded on the side, and Yakura turned his head in shock to see Shiraishi with a calm face.

"Is that you? Here it is......"

"This is the country of demons, our plan to intercept Nagato has failed, and the three and six tails have been sealed inside the body of the ten tails."

Shiraishi succinctly told Yakura the cruel answer.

Yakura was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, lowered his head in discouragement and sighed.

"That's the case, has that guy been arrested?"

To say that it is not lost is completely false.

The perfect human pillar force refers to the existence of the human pillar force and the tailed beast completely connected, and can perfectly use all the power of the tailed beast, which is also the highest state pursued by all people's pillar forces.

In this state, the human pillar force and the tailed beast are the best friends who truly rely on life and death, and they are existences that can be completely trusted.

"So, I'm in a situation where I'm ......"

Yakura was curious about his current state.

If the tailed beast is withdrawn, the human pillar force will definitely die, this is an iron law, and no human pillar force can break this rule at present.

But now that he was alive, Yakura vaguely thought of a possibility.

"I used the reincarnation technique on you, and as for your corpse, it was the oni shark who got it back."

Shiraishi explained a little.

"Do you still master this technique?"

It was confirmed, and Yakura was even more surprised.

Shiraishi acquiesced.

"How's it going out there?"

Yakura sat slowly on the edge of the stone platform, his fingers lightly pressing his temples, as if he had a headache.

"The Five Shadows Conference has ended, the five major powers have officially formed an alliance, and now they are recruiting troops everywhere."

"Has the Oni Country joined?"

"Nope."

"That's good, if this side joins too, the alliance will probably have problems by then. The original plan is no longer available, so let's use the alternative. ”

Yakura nodded.

"I think so too, it's just a bit of a hassle to lose the two-tailed beast. According to my guess, the larger the tailed beast absorbed, the stronger the power of the outer path golem. ”

Shiraishi said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Nagato to have that kind of thing on his hands that targets human pillars."

Yakura sighed.

"I've seen the memories of your confrontation with Nagato at that time, and I can only say that they also have hole cards that we don't know about. Fortunately, on the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails, it went very smoothly. ”

Shiraishi's words made Yakura roll his eyes.

However, Yakura, who knew that he was at a loss, didn't care about Shiraishi's unauthorized reading of his memories.

"There's nothing wrong with Mi Ming. Although she succeeded me in my position, but suddenly such a big thing happened, I was afraid that she would ...... when she was still very immature."

Yakura looked worried.

He was worried that Terumi would make some irrational choices because of his problems.

In fact, from the beginning of the alliance with the country of ghosts, there was no way back for the fog.

"I've calmed down for the time being, but I still need you to come forward and let that side settle down completely."

Shiraishi was aware of Yakura's concerns.

"Then, I'll be nagging you for the time being, and I can't appear in the public eye right now."

Yakura is well aware of his current situation.

Once such a thing as resurrection from the dead is known to outsiders, many unnecessary changes will occur.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged a place for you, and during this time, you can stay with me."

Shiraishi nodded and took the initiative to take the matter.

In this way, the fog has finally stabilized, and there will be no more accidents.

However, this time I was reincarnated in Yakura and went to the Pure Land, and a lot of things happened.

The Pure Land has consciousness, a psychic contract...... Either way, it shocked and intrigued Shiraishi.

If it weren't for the fact that time didn't allow it now, he needed to prepare for the next fifth ninja war, and he would like to stay in the Pure Land for a while to explore carefully.

Judging from the available information, it is likely that the Pure Land is also some kind of strange creature born from chakra.

It's like a monster that once ran rampant in the ninja world.

However, unlike monsters that love the negative energy of humans, the Pure Land has a strong aversion to human souls contaminated with negative energy, and treats them as non-recyclable garbage.

So when he took away Yakura's soul, Jodo not only did not feel dissatisfied, but instead showed kindness to Shiraishi's behavior.

Compared to the Grim Reaper, who has a strong sense of territory, the Pure Land is more communicative.

However, before communicating further with the Pure Land, Shiraishi felt the need to go to a place first.

- Wet Bone Forest.

If you don't know how to ask about the live slug, it has become Shiraishi's subconscious behavior.

After living for so many years, the live slug may know something about the Pure Land.

◎

The white mist dissipated again, and ripples rippled in the filthy void.

A figure sat abruptly in the void, levitating in a magical way.

He was dressed in ancient fashion, dressed like a monk, with two horns growing out of his head, and a pair of reincarnated eyes that were light purple, and swept across the barren land where a large number of souls stood with an almost majestic gaze.

Underneath his suspended body, nine black jade-like spheres arranged in circles, dragging his body along.

The black tin staff in his hand, with the sun at one end and the moon at the other, forms the opposition and unity of yin and yang.

After a long time, the tin staff in his hand lightly touched the void, and the void rippled like ripples, but nothing happened after that, only the filthy breath on the soul, which still infected this world that did not belong to the living.

The monk frowned slightly.

"Strange ......"

I sensed the breath of a living person, but I didn't notice anything.

This feeling of having nowhere to start is the first time that monks have encountered it.

In order to verify something, the monk closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and sat still in the void as if communicating with someone.

After a long time, the monk in white opened his eyes and ended the exchange, but his face showed a sigh.

"Don't you want to communicate with the old decay?"

Shaking his head, as if he knew that it was pointless to continue to probe like this, the figure of the monk gradually became illusory in the void, as mysterious as when he came, and suddenly disappeared from the sky.
