Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 337 Lord of the Void Realm = Lord of the Underground Palace?

All the clues have come together!
Underground palace, tomb owner, lord of the void, Zanpakuto, theories in the scroll...

The spirits of the dead and the souls of the living, mutually generating and restraining each other, endlessly reincarnating...

This is a complete and amazing system!

Orochimaru, on this path, is undoubtedly the one who has gone the furthest!
"Ha!" A suppressed chuckle suddenly escaped from "Luo Sha's" throat, breaking the deathly silence in the conference room.

This laughter was completely out of character for his usual cold and aloof demeanor; it carried an almost manic excitement that drew the attention of the other four shadows, who focused their gazes on him.

"Fengying, what do you mean by this?"

The Fourth Raikage frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face, mistaking the laughter for mockery of his words: "Do you think I'm telling a joke?"

Upon hearing this, "Luo Sha" snapped out of his ecstasy and instinctively stuck out his tongue to lick his somewhat dry lips.

This action carried an eerie feeling, which startled Hiruzen Sarutobi when he saw it. A strange sense of familiarity and unease welled up in his heart, but he couldn't figure out where it came from for a moment.

"Sorry, no offense intended."

Luo Sha quickly suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, as if his earlier loss of composure was due to an inability to accept the situation, and tried his best to regain his usual cold and hard expression.

"Lord Raikage, it's not that I don't believe the information from Kumogakure, it's just that the content is too shocking and truly seems like a fantasy."

“However, many of the ‘legends’ mentioned in the stone tablet can indeed be found in various parts of the ninja world,” Onoki said in a deep voice.

The stele mentions that the tomb owner once sowed herbs in the name of 'Xu Fu'. Everyone knows about Xu Fu Mountain and 'Xu Fu Grass' on the border of the Land of Fire.

He mentioned that he once fed a giant tortoise with living beings on it, which was the 'Island Tortoise,' the mobile fortress of Kumogakure, and it existed long before the village was built.

It also mentions that its blood dripped down to create the Valley of Death, a place filled with miasma and barren of vegetation, which was once used to exile the Blood Pool clan to the 'Hell Valley'.

It even mentions that the weapon he discarded, the 'Spear of Heaven,' is indeed recorded in the legends of the Kingdom of Craftsmen, and that the forging skills he casually taught him even created the 'Seimei,' the founder of the Kingdom of Craftsmen.

These are ancient legends and strange places scattered throughout the ninja world, seemingly unrelated to each other.

Surprisingly, the seemingly short sentences on the stone tablet were actually linked together and pointed to the same source.

The weight of history was so profound that it almost took their breath away.

"Our scholars have investigated the relevant locations and found fragments of information on ancient books and artifacts from different periods that corroborate the information on the stone tablet."

The Fourth Raikage's gaze swept over the four people, and he said, "Evidence such as the 'Divine Tree,' the 'Goddess of the Rabbit,' and the 'Hagoromo' is by no means a coincidence or something that could be forged by human hands."

In the legends known to most people, there are only a few words about the Sage of Six Paths, and information such as his real name and the Divine Tree is completely unknown.

but now……

"call!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a deep breath, slowly leaned back in his chair, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrest, his eyes flickering as he pondered this intelligence that was enough to overturn the entire ninja world's understanding.

Onoki squinted, his calculating mind weighing the truth and value of everything, while Terumi Mei also fell into deep thought.

Legend has it that the creator god, the progenitor of chakra, actually existed.

The owner of that underground palace... no, that tomb, actually came from beyond the heavens, and the Six Paths Immortal was also a descendant of these "people from beyond the heavens".

Even more terrifying is that these "extraterrestrials" survive by feeding on the life of the entire planet.

This, this isn't some god, this is clearly...

The thought crossed his mind, and Onoki subconsciously shook his head. No, perhaps, that's what gods are like.

Powerful, mysterious, arrogant, and greedy.

In their eyes, the ninja world is nothing more than a "nursery" to be harvested at will once the seedlings are mature.

This overwhelming difference in life level and civilization level caused a chill to rise from their spines and spread throughout their bodies.

"……fine."

In the brief silence, Mei Terumi seemed to be seeking a sliver of comfort, murmuring with a hint of hope, "According to the inscription on the stone tablet, the tomb owner is most likely already dead."

"The goddess of the rabbit who betrayed her own kind was also sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths, and another member of the Otsutsuki clan who came with her had already died. The threat seems to have been eliminated."

"Your thinking is too naive, Mizukage." The Fourth Raikage immediately poured cold water on his idea, shaking his head. "You've overlooked a crucial issue."

"Don't forget, the first tomb owner to come to the ninja world was killed because the main family sent the Goddess of the Rabbit and another clansman to hunt him down because he hadn't sent any messages back to the main family for too long."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "And now, the tomb owner, the Goddess of Rabbit, and that clansman are all missing."

"What do you think the so-called Otsutsuki clan, on the other side of the distant universe, would do if they hadn't received any response for hundreds of years?"

Upon hearing this, it was as if the air in the conference room had been instantly sucked out!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's fingertips, which were tapping the armrest, suddenly stopped. Mei Terumi's look of relief froze instantly, and even Rasa narrowed his eyes.

How to do it?
The answer is almost self-evident.

—They will definitely send their people to investigate again!

Moreover, given the previous two instances of the clansmen "losing contact," the one sent this time is very likely an even more powerful being!

If the legend is true, the Sage of Six Paths was most likely an existence from a thousand years ago, and the sealing of the Goddess of the Rabbit must have also occurred a thousand years ago.

The Otsutsuki main family has lost contact with this place for a thousand years!

No one can predict when they will arrive in the ninja world.

It could be in the distant future, or it could be tomorrow, or it could even be already on its way!

Thinking of this, a heavy cloud instantly descended upon their hearts, and their expressions became more solemn than ever before.

Just how terrifying is the strength of a race that can treat a planet as a nursery and feed on all life on the planet?

With their limited knowledge and imagination, they are simply unable to grasp the whole picture, and even their imagination seems pale and powerless.

Onoki's cloudy old eyes shifted slightly. As a shrewd strategist, he keenly noticed the unusual calmness in the Fourth Raikage's demeanor as he recounted this earth-shattering secret.

This is not the reaction one would expect from someone who has just learned of a catastrophic disaster.

"Lord Raikage."

Onoki, his short frame slightly leaning forward, tentatively asked, "Since you already knew about the existence and threat of the Otsutsuki clan..."

"Given your personality, you would never sit idly by and wait to die. You must have made a lot of preparations in secret, right?"

Faced with Onoki's probing, the Fourth Raikage did not shy away, but met the four people's gazes with composure and nodded, saying, "Of course I'm prepared."
