Chapter 208: Pure Land

On the second day of the resurrection of Yakura, there was an official announcement to the ninja world about the alliance of the Five Shadows Conference a few days ago, led by the five major powers other than the country of ghosts.

It also means that the outbreak of the Fifth Ninja War is already an unchangeable fact.

It's just that unlike the previous three ninja wars, the traditional five powers attacked each other, competed for territory and resources, and engaged in military battles. This time, the war was an alliance of ninjas from the five major countries that had attacked each other in the past, and jointly launched a declaration of war against the Akatsuki organization, which was born in the land of rain.

Although all countries knew that after the Five Shadows Conference, the great powers made a certain decision, which was likely to be related to the Fifth Ninja World War, but when this fact was officially announced, the countries still fell into an unspeakable panic.

Fortunately, a large country with a strong comprehensive force is fine, but a small country with a small territory and insufficient military strength will bear the brunt of every war that breaks out. If you are lucky, you can survive and be unlucky, and it is common for the country to be ruined and the family to die.

This is not alarmist, since after the Warring States period, the number of countries became smaller and smaller, and there were no emerging countries. In the era of one country and one village, the power of large countries is increasing day by day, and it is irresistible, and small countries have counterattacked and become big countries, and in the past few decades, there has only been one example of a ghost country. For example, some small countries with strong ninja weapons, such as the country of Takino and the country of rain, have fallen on this road to the great powers, and the victims are innumerable.

With each war, the status of the big countries has become more and more solid, and the small countries have become more and more impoverished, which has almost become a tacit fact.

And this time, the Fifth Ninja World War, although it has not officially started, but judging from the declaration of war made by the five major powers, its scale is far greater than any Ninja World War.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the outbreak of this war will not be as abrupt and immediate as the previous wars, allowing some time to prepare and slow the impact.

The ninjas also deliberately avoided irrelevant people, and asked all the people who might become war zones to evacuate the war zone in advance.

At this time, the interior of the administrative building of the Oni no *** Affair Jurisdiction.

On the desk in front of Shiraishi was a declaration of war and a war agreement jointly justified by the five powers.

Since the establishment of the One Country, One Village era, the ninja world has been able to enjoy a more stable and peaceful international environment than in the Warring States period, and the five great powers have contributed greatly to the achievement of establishing peace.

But now there are some countries that connive at and shield the international criminal organization Xiao to sweep over the tailed beasts of other countries, trying to use the 'infinite moon reading' to manipulate all mankind in order to achieve the evil ambition of dominating the ninja world, in addition, there are also some countries that use the era of opposing one country and one village as an excuse to take the opportunity to stir up trouble and collude with the terrorist organization Xiao to undermine the balance of the international order, fan the flames in various parts of the ninja world, and create wars, and such countries should also be restrained in the name of warnings.

If not, they can also be regarded as lawbreakers who undermine the peace, and they will be dealt with the same group as the Xiao organization, and they will be dealt with militarily and justifiably.

Finally, I would like to call on people with lofty ideals who are peace-minded in the entire ninja community to join our alliance of the five great powers and strongly resist these lawless countries and organizations.

Fight to the end for a happy and peaceful tomorrow in the ninja world. --

At the end of the declaration of war, the family crests of the great masters of the five major countries were attached, as well as the joint signature seals of the contemporary five shadows.

Shiraishi finished reading the war declaration jointly issued by the five major powers, and he also knew what kind of uproar such a declaration caused in various parts of the ninja world.

Moreover, although the lawless countries mentioned in the declaration of war are not directly named, the discerning person also knows which lawless country is referred to in the declaration.

It's really a scolding without spitting out a dirty word, and the knife hidden in the word pokes at the country of ghosts.

Although the influence of the Oni Country has now surpassed that of any other major country, if the five major powers adopt the form of an alliance and join forces, then the accumulated prestige will inevitably far surpass that of the Oni Country.

The coaqueness caused by this is also unprecedentedly powerful. The alliance of the five powers, which has never occurred in the past history, is undoubtedly a precedent.

And compared to the fourth

The small fights in the ninja war, Shiraishi knows that this war, the attitude of the five major powers is very serious and resolute.

"The war proclamation is well written."

Shiraishi put down the war declaration document in his hand, without any worry on his face, even in the face of the alliance of the five powers, he could show a relaxed and comfortable attitude, and he did not hesitate to praise the content of the war declaration document.

Although the five great powers are united, it is true that the country of ghosts will feel great pressure, but as the leader of the military commander-in-chief, he cannot show his cowardice at any time.

Even if you are afraid, you must show absolute confidence and reassure those below.

If the top is messed up, the bottom will be messed up with it. Vice versa.

It is important that there is close communication and contact between the top and bottom. "How's the work of calming the emotions of the people in China?"

Shiraishi looked at Ayane, who had come to his office, who was in charge of the garrison of the Oni Country, and had a deeper direct connection with the people.

"Most people are emotionally stable, and only a very small number of people express panic and worry, and they still have an attitude of indifference."

Ayane spoke out about the findings of the garrison.

"Compared to the small countries that are allied with us at home, they are more easily disturbed by external factors."

Liuli, who also came to the office, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and spoke her opinion.

"That's right, at times like these, it's clear who is an enemy and who is a friend. The announcement of such a notice by the alliance of the five great powers is nothing more than an attempt to stimulate the allies on our side and make their position change. Even if you don't take refuge in them, you have to keep them neutral in this matchup."

Shiraishi nodded, and he could see the matter as well.

But he had no good way to do it, and he could only let the government carry out negotiations and try to appease them.

Before the war comes to fruition, it is easy for some of the Allied powers to fish in troubled waters and become wall-to-wall existences.

Except for some allies that have in-depth cooperation with the Oni Country, they have expressed their support and actively provided various resources to the Oni Country. In their opinion, the country of ghosts, which won the victory of the Fourth Great Ninja War, defeated the powerful allies of the Four Nations Alliance, and even if the alliance added a country of thunder at this time, the country of ghosts was not without the power of a battle.

Moreover, they have cooperated too closely with the country of ghosts, and they have already been labeled with this label, and it will be very difficult to take it off again. As he arrived, Shiraishi looked at another agreement that had been sent along with the declaration of war.

It indicates the location of the war zone and the non-war zone, and the battle of the ninja can only be carried out in the specified war zone.

If it is done against people in non-war zones, it will be targeted by all countries.

It can be said that minimizing the damage of war is very different from previous ninja wars.

Shiraishi looked at the war zone divided on the map, and basically half of the ninja territory would be reduced to a war zone, in which he could fire and fight at will.

The two great powers, the Land of Wind and the Land Country, which are closest to the Land of Demons, and more than half of their territory, will be contributed as battlefields.

The same is true of the Fire Nation, whose population is concentrated in the north and northeast, and most of the territory can be used as direct battles.

Shiraishi didn't think much about it, such a form of war would be beneficial to any country.

After all, the scale is so huge, if it is not restricted, the population of the ninja world will probably shrink greatly in this war.

So, he signed it, which also means that the country of ghosts will officially intervene in this war and become a third-party group.

In addition to this, there are several other inconsequential regulations, which Shiraishi does not care.

In order to cope with this war, he, like the rest of the country, began to transfer the border population of the Oni Country and clear a battlefield.

Although I don't think that the country of demons has been directly attacked by others, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Yakura is resurrected now, and the fog will stabilize as well. Next, it's time to think about the second pair of eternal kaleidoscopes. There was something about the surgery and waited for me to get from wet bones

Lin came back and said, Liuli, you can prepare first."

Shiraishi paused and said to Ruri. "Wet Bone Forest?"

Ruri and Ayane frowned, not understanding why Shiraishi suddenly wanted to go to the Wet Bone Forest at this time.

"There's something about the Pure Land that I want to know about the living slugs."

Shiraishi remembered the psychic scroll that seemed to be a contract, and after leaving the Pure Land, he hadn't used it outside once, mainly because of this unknown thing, which made him suspicious, and he needed to find a suitable place to study it carefully.

O

Through the reverse psychic technique, Shiraishi descended to the Wet Bone Forest.

As in the past, the scenery here has not changed in the slightest amount of time.

And the body of the live slug is also very shocking no matter how many times you look at it.

"Lord Shiraishi, do you have anything to do with me?"

The live slug lowered its gaze, and its vision was good, and at once it spotted a white stone the size of a bean in its eyes.

Generally speaking, Shiraishi will not come directly to its body without incident, on the contrary, if it is in person, most of the time there is something important to explain to it.

The live slugs are not dissatisfied with this kind of thing.

In this long life with no end in sight, although it likes to be quiet, it does not hate to be lively.

After all, staying alone in the Wet Bone Forest all year round will also produce boredom, so occasionally some clones will be separated and go to the ninja world to quietly "explore", observe the various states of the world, and watch the changes and development of the world.

Compared to its constant observation of life, observing human beings can bring it more pleasure.

Shiraishi did not hide it, and his relationship with the live slug belonged to both a teacher and a friend.

"That's right, I'm here to ask you what you think of the Pure Land."

Shiraishi asked unhurriedly, looking up at the live slug. "Pure Land?"

The slug's tone was full of doubt, not understanding why Shiraishi suddenly mentioned the Pure Land.

"That's not a nice place.

Despite not knowing, the live slug answered this question dutifully and expressed its opinion.

"Huh? Live slugs, have you ever been there?"

Shiraishi noticed the tone of the living slug's voice and concluded that the Pure Land was not a beautiful place, and it would not have been possible if he had not seen it with his own eyes

of the perception.

"There was a clone in the past who accidentally got involved in a chaotic time and space and fell into the Pure Land, so I have some understanding of the situation there."

Live Slug explained. 「?」 Is that okay? Shiraishi was taken aback.

"Lord Shiraishi, the world of the past was not as stable as it is now, especially in the hundred years before and after the chakra first spread, there were countless strange creatures and phenomena born because of the chakra. At that time, the boundaries between life and death were not very clear. I think Lord Shiraishi, who has come into contact with the secret of the soul, should be well aware of this."

The words of the living slug caused Shiraishi to ponder.

Indeed, his perception of the past is all from books, and what he understands is fundamentally different from that of a person who has experienced it firsthand.

Live slugs also have a greater say in this.

"Pure Land..... It is a mutant existence born in nature after the appearance of chakra. The place is full of lifelessness, and if the soul of the living is not strong enough to accidentally fall into the Pure Land, they will be assimilated by the "rules" there and become a part of it. Lady Shiraishi asked, I guess I've been to that place."

The live slug said this, affirming something.

With Shiraishi's soul strength, even if it is separated from the body, it can survive.

Although it is impossible to achieve the so-called longevity, the vitality of the soul is not a problem in the eyes of the living slug for hundreds of years.

Such a ninja, in ancient times, there were many people who could do it.

It's just that with the development of the times, ninjas have become more and more focused on killing

, for its deep meaning, but do not explore, groping only the outermost things. It can be said that the ninjas' technique of using chakra is very rough, and it only has its form, not its charm.

"I used reincarnation ninjutsu on a dead friend before, and I happened to sense some fluctuations in time and space. With the help of the 'toll', I was curious to go over there and have a look."

Shiraishi nodded, not hiding.

"That's right, the Pure Land is the same as the alternate time and space created by the Oni Country to seal the monster spirits, but the different planes created by the shrine maiden are to suppress the monster spirits, and they have a terrifying suppressive power against evil spirits. The purpose of the Pure Land's other time and space is to settle souls that have nowhere to go, and to cleanse them of resentment, so as to achieve the effect of purification."

"Why do you want to do that?"

Shiraishi has some understanding, but there are still some things that he doesn't understand. "Before the birth of the energy of chakra, there was no such thing as a soul, and the appearance of chakra gave living beings such characteristics. Because chakra can carry consciousness, in many texts, chakra is regarded as a kind of continuation of the spirit. The birth of the Pure Land is also a choice made by nature. Since there is a soul, it is necessary to manage the device and draw clear boundaries. After all, if the line between life and death becomes very blurred, it will lead to many unforeseen disasters."

"Is there a line between life and death?" Shiraishi thought of something.

"Thousands of years ago, the boundaries between life and death were blurred due to the sudden interference of chakra, but since then, as the Pure Land has grown and evolved, it has become more and more clear. The living have a world of the living, and the dead have a world of the dead, bringing the integrity of the world one step closer. As for why the Pure Land cleanses the soul of resentment, I think it is mostly related to chakra...... Lord Shiraishi knows that tailed beasts exist, they have extremely powerful chakras, but these chakras cannot be directly and effectively used. It's because of the chakra on their bodies, which has a strong negative energy, which will make a person's temperament change drastically."

Using the tailed beast as an example, Shiraishi felt that things were much simpler.

When the soul goes to the Pure Land, it will more or less carry negative energy, and these negative energy will cause great damage to the Pure Land, and may even lead to the destruction of the Pure Land.

After all, the Pure Land contains an entire world of dead people, and every day it has to receive a steady stream of souls carrying a large number of negative energy, once such negative energy accumulates, Shiraishi can't imagine what kind of result it will be.

After absorbing the soul, Shiraishi also eliminated these resentments in the soul first, so that he could borrow the energy of the soul body and improve his soul.

If it was to absorb the pure natural soul, Shiraishi thought about it for a while, and knew what the result would be.

In this way, the pressure on the Pure Land is greater than his.

It's just that he absorbs the soul power of the soul body in order to strengthen himself, and what is the purpose of purifying the soul in the Pure Land?

In order to stabilize the integrity and order of the world?

Thinking of this, Shiraishi took a deep breath and took out a black scroll from his ninja bag.

The scroll was opened, revealing only his lone name.

"Lord Shiraishi, may I ask what ..... this scroll is?"

The living slug's tone was surprised, and on the scroll, it sensed the breath of the Pure Land.

"I got it from the Pure Land, and it signed a contract with me."

The live slug silently put a question mark on his head.

"Lord Shiraishi, you're always going to find something strange."

The living slug was still surprised, and continued, "However, I didn't expect that the Pure Land would give birth to its own consciousness and be able to communicate."

After all, being able to make such an act as a contract means that the Pure Land is not completely a dead thing, but a wise being.

When it was in the Pure Land in the past, it had never noticed such a thing.

Of course, perhaps at that time, there was no such thing as consciousness in the Pure Land, but it was born later.

"Before that, I didn't dare to imagine that there would be consciousness in the Pure Land."

Shiraishi shook his head bitterly

Laugh. It's scary.

How big the Pure Land World is, Shiraishi doesn't know, but since it can carry the souls of all the dead in this world, even if it is not as good as this life, it is definitely an exaggeration.

But such a world has given birth to its own consciousness.

This also means that the Pure Land does not operate according to rigid procedures when necessary, but flexibly adjusts its own code of conduct.

"So, what is the reason for the contract?" "I purified a soul for a test, and the contract was delivered to me."

Shiraishi said in a consultative tone with the live slug. "Purification..... Soul?"

"Chakra can be used as a carrier of consciousness, not so much because the soul is tainted with resentment, but because the chakra that remains in the soul is entangled with the negative energy received during life. And transforming the essence of chakra and dispersing the negative energy above it is not difficult for me. If I were a human pillar force, the moment I sealed the tailed beast into my body when my body could support it, I could directly become a perfect human pillar force."

Shiraishi said.

"I see, is it because of this that the Pure Land has taken a fancy to Lord Shiraishi and signed a contract with you?"

The live slug felt like it had lived a long time. But it makes perfect sense when you think about it.

The Pure Land has an important role to purify the souls of the dead, and Shiraishi has a similar ability, and in the eyes of the Pure Land, he may see Shiraishi as his own 'kind' or 'clan'. "That's the only reason."

Shiraishi did not deny.

"So, in other words, according to this contract, Lord Shiraishi, you can summon the Pure Land, right?"

The live slug asked curiously. "Uh....."

Shiraishi hesitated, then shook his head decisively.

"Impossible, I don't know how big the Pure Land is, but it's impossible to summon all of the Pure Land. However, it should be possible to summon a part of the Pure Land."

Shiraishi is not particularly certain.

He couldn't even summon the body of a living slug using psychic techniques, let alone the Pure Land equivalent to the world level.

That's definitely not something that can be done manually.

"Can I try it here, live slug?" Shiraishi asked for the opinion of the live slug.

"Yes."

The live slug thought about it for a moment and agreed to Shiraishi's request. It is also interested in the existence of the Pure Land.

I also want to know if Shiraishi can summon the Pure Land through psychic techniques.

This is the first human to make a contract with the Pure Land. Let the live slug sigh again, Shiraishi is really a maverick ninja.

Seeing that the live slugs agreed, Shiraishi turned around and walked backwards for a distance before stopping, so as not to affect the live slugs in the next spiritism.

"It's pretty much here."

Looking at the large clearing around him, Shiraishi nodded.

Shiraishi first bit his finger and let it bleed as the initial summoning medium, and then quickly completed the seal, and slammed his hands against the earth covered in rich natural energy.

The moment he pressed it, Bai Shi's face suddenly turned pale, and the chakra in his body seemed to have been suddenly bitten by someone, and it went straight to the bottom. There was silence all around, and nothing unusual happened.

The live slug maintained the posture of a probe, looking curiously ahead. "Here .....

Sensing something, the live slug muttered. Shiraishi sensed it as well and looked ahead.

A pitch-black crack, like a black lightning, suddenly split the barrier of the world.

Immediately, the crack was like a huge monster's sudden opening of the bloody jaw, torn open to the limit.

Gusts of yin wind blew from the open cracks, making Bai Shi, who felt this yin wind, stiffen his body.

On the other side of the crack was a vast land of barren people, a gray sky without daylight, filled with death, decay and desolation. Looking at the monstrous giant mouth that suddenly tore open in front of him, its opening amplitude might be able to swallow a tailed beast.

After the experiment, basically understanding what the posture of the summoned Pure Land was, Shiraishi let out a sigh of relief, stood up from the ground, and began to disarm the psychic technique.

As a result, the crack appeared intact in the void, forming a docking with the Wet Bone Forest.

「……」

Not leaving?

Shiraishi was stunned, then thought of something, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The dragon vein spar hanging under his neck began to flow out of the immortal chakra, and the white stone extracted a ball and transformed it into a kind of vitality energy, which was sent to the crack like feeding a child.

The crack was satisfied and began to heal.

The time and space of this land, with the departure of the Pure Land space, regained stability.
