All things have spirits, all things have divine sustenance, and everything has gods that can be worshipped.

For example, this forest, and the nearby villages and towns, believe that there is a god blessed by the forest, and such a shrine has also been established.

Shisui took Kakashi to the core of this shrine, and in the legend of faith, the power of faith here was gathered to create this 'Mori no Mi' god.

It looked like a child, with a clear sense of tranquility.

Kakashi could see that he did indeed seem to be the embodiment of the forest, and that there was an energy in his body that seemed to come from the nature of the forest.

Kakashi also realized what was going on.

In the process of creating this god, it seems that people's beliefs are also giving birth to some kind of spirit in the forest, and he also summoned this spirit that is being conceived to participate in the creation together.

Therefore, this deity is indeed the embodiment of this forest.

And after it was created.

Morinomi turned his head to look into the depths of the forest, looking a little worried.

"What's wrong?" Stop the water asked.

Morinomi replied: "In that direction, in the depths, there is a closed village where something bad is happening. ”

Zhishui's brow furrowed.

"Is it there?"

"What's there?" Kakashi asked to stop the water.

"I sent an investigation team here earlier, and it seems that there is something going on there."

"Is there anyone else who hasn't registered?"

Zhishui replied: "There are still some remote and closed places, presumably there are closed villages deep into this forest, and now, the registration personnel sent over have not completed the registration for a long time, and they may have been killed." ”

"Unclean."

Mori no Mi spoke.

"Unclean?" Zhishui frowned.

Uncleanness as the gods speak.

"Youkai?!"

Soon, Zhishui's face changed.

He looked in that direction suddenly...

"Whoa, whoa."

A man runs through the forest with a girl in his arms.

They were an investigation team to investigate the disappearance of the registered personnel who were dispatched, but unexpectedly, when they passed by, they found out that these villagers were engaged in ignorant sacrifices, and without hesitation, they saved the girl.

But, youkai.

Yes, youkai.

Some of the other members of the team escaped, and some were taken away by youkai.

And now, the youkai is chasing him after him, because he has taken the sacrifice, and the youkai feels that he must not let him go.

He also happens to be the captain of this investigation team, and he has the strength of a middle ninja.

But the monsters are too weird and difficult to deal with.

Finally, he put the girl down.

"You're hiding here."

He said to the girl.

The girl nodded, holding her head, and cowered in the corner.

Taking a deep look at the girl, he turned away.

"You stupid #%&*(&%R$)......"

A whole bunch of nasty words.

Obviously, youkai are not a sane thing, although they don't really understand what these curses mean, but they are not good words in any way.

In particular, this monster has enjoyed the taste of being worshiped and worshiped by the gods, how can he be willing to accept such an insult.

O blasphemer!

The youkai, who naturally thought he was a god, immediately rushed over......

After some time, just when the girl thought that she was not saved.

"Huh."

A strange laugh came from her head, and she shuddered, and then in a violent and irrepressible trembling, she raised her head.

In front of me was a hideous, terrifying blue-green face.

"Son of man, enjoy my gift to you as a sacrifice to me."

The hideous claws stretched out towards the girl.

"This gift is."

Grab the girl.

"Ate you!"

Oh!

The hideous blood basin grows with a large mouth.

There was a dizzying stench coming from inside.

It makes people in a trance.

Well?

The girl who had closed her eyes did not feel the pain for a long time.

'It's all right. ’

A very soft voice, sounding from the heart.

The girl opened her eyes, and the monster had disappeared, and what appeared in front of her was a child, not much older than him?

"Who are you?"

"I'm Morinomi."

The girl was stunned.

Then his eyes widened suddenly.

"Mori no Mi Kami-sama?!"

This is a deity that is enshrined in this generation, and the village where the girl is located is in the forest, and of course knows the name of this deity.

"Lord Spirit!"

The girl hugged her and began to cry.

And in the hidden place not far away from the branches and leaves of the trees, Kakashi held a small green orb in his hand, and the youkai that was regarded as a god by the ignorant villagers just now was sealed in this orb.

It wasn't wiped out, and of course, Kakashi didn't intend to use him as a Shikigami either, and Shikigami didn't mean much to Kakashi.

It's just that this youkai seems to be worshipped as a god.

Kakashi realized that the matter itself was also valuable for research.

If there were gods in the past...... Some of the gods are also obviously transferred from youkai.

Then, in this world, in other places, there will inevitably be a situation where youkai accept offerings as gods.

How can this situation be resolved?

Those evil monsters, after becoming gods, will also engage in some evil acts of monsters, and they will definitely be punished.

However, are there any youkai that are not evil?

Or is it that there is no monster that has the will to hurt people? What will happen to these monsters if they accept the worship of faith and become gods?

Later, after returning to Konoha Village, Kakashi asked Hokage-sama this question.

And the answer of the fifth generation Hokage Orochimaru is, of course, "If there is really a so-called good youkai who is enshrined as a god, then he must also sign a contract with us and record his name on the 'god book' in order to be qualified as a legitimate god." ”

"But what if they don't want to?" Kakashi didn't think that these youkai, even the kind ones, were willing to accept this kind of restraint.

"Don't want to?" Orochimaru said as a matter of course: "Then drive it away and hand over the position of God to those who are willing." ”

Speaking of which, Orochimaru looked at the 'Divine Book' scroll in Kakashi's hand.

After all, there are people who want to be gods. Kakashi, you said yes? ”

Silently looking at the god book in his hand, Kakashi nodded.

"yes."

After all, some of the so-called gods are actually historical figures who created meritorious deeds in the past, and were worshipped and worshipped after death, and shrines were established and worshipped as gods.

When he went to enlighten such gods, Kakashi found that he could recall these dead people in the 'Pure Land'.

Other words.

It is possible to let the dead take the place of God.

With a little operation, you can make the land gods in various places sit in the class by those who have done good deeds in their lives and have outstanding prestige in various places.

I don't have the mental strength to explode the seven chapters...... After writing four chapters, I felt sick to my liver.

I squeezed myself too hard some time ago.

Ay.
