Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

Orochimaru's soul shuddered. Despite his fearlessness, he became somewhat timid when his life was threatened.

However, Akira Hatake did not intend to make fun of Orochimaru. Instead, he looked up and down the Otsutsuki brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura.

"How come your injury has healed?"

"Humph!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki snorted coldly, not answering the question, but instead asking, "Akira Hatake, what is your purpose in suddenly coming to the Pure Land?"

"We want to investigate the feasibility of planting sacred trees in the Pure Land."

Akira Hatake spoke the truth, wielding sincerity as his ultimate weapon.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was taken aback. He had thought a lot and prepared a lot, but he never expected Akira Hatake to be so straightforward and tell the truth right away.

But after a moment of surprise, he immediately came to his senses, his expression even more gloomy than before.

"Akira Hatake, I remember you promised me when you got the Divine Tree seed that you wouldn't plant the Divine Tree in the ninja world!"

“Old man in feather robes, I don’t think I have broken my previous vow.”

Akira Hatake shook his head and pointed to the various souls drifting around him. "Tell me, is this the ninja world?"

Before Hagoromo Otsutsuki could reply, Akira Hatake spoke again.

"This is clearly not the ninja world."

"The Ninja World is the world of the living, while the Pure Land is the final resting place of the dead; the two do not interfere with each other."

“In that case, my planting of the sacred tree in the Pure Land has nothing to do with my previous vow.”

Listening to Akira Hatake's sophistry, Hagoromo Otsutsuki wished he could fight Akira Hatake again.

However, thinking of Akira Hatake's previous methods, he still felt uncertain and did not believe that he could defeat Akira Hatake.

Therefore, Hagoromo Otsutsuki began his persuasive talk, trying to convince Akira Hatake to turn back from his wrong path.

"Akira Hatake, you're right, the ninja world and the Pure Land are unrelated."

"But have you ever considered the impact your planting of the sacred tree in this pure land will have on the many souls existing here?!"

"And can you guarantee that the ninja world will be safe and sound if unforeseen changes occur in the Pure Land?"

"Indeed, the two do not interfere with each other, but they are also interdependent. Without the Pure Land, or if the Pure Land has problems, where will the souls of the dead in the ninja world go?"

Akira Hatake gave Hagoromo Otsutsuki a deep look, but instead of refuting him, he asked him a question.

"Old man in feathered robes, do you know about reincarnation?"

"I think you know." Before Hagoromo Otsutsuki could answer, Akira Hatake started asking and answering himself again.

"Since the Rinnegan contains the word 'reincarnation,' I believe you should have some understanding of it."

"The relationship between this Pure Land and the Ninja World is very subtle. The Pure Land is like a garbage can for the Ninja World, collecting the souls that the Ninja World cannot digest or process."

"Although this analogy is somewhat inappropriate, it still illustrates the point."

Uchiha Chōmei gestured with his hands, drawing three circles—one large, one medium, and one small—and then nested them together.

“Old man in feather robes, look at this big circle. It is the planet that encompasses both the mortal realm and the Pure Land. It is the foundation of everything.”

"And the circle in the middle represents the ninja world, which is the most direct manifestation of this planet and its very foundation."

"Finally, there is the Pure Land, which acts as a 'dumping ground' to handle the souls of the dead that the ninja world cannot deal with."

"But! There's something wrong with it..."

Akira Hatake pointed to the last circle, "Everyone knows that if you just store things without processing them, there is a risk of overflowing or even breaking them. Pure Land will naturally face this problem as well."

"So what is the best solution?"

Uchiha Chōmei reached out and made a hole in the small circle, then drew a curve connecting it to the middle circle representing the ninja world.

"That's right, it's a cycle."

"The soul of a king that the ninja world could not handle was dealt with by the Pure Land and then reappeared in the ninja world through a special passage. This not only resolved the crisis of the Pure Land, but also did the world a great favor!"

Akira Hatake then pointed to the outermost large circle, "The total amount of power in the world is fixed. This power is distributed throughout the world to maintain its operation."

"So what represents that the world is in motion?"

"It's a cycle of life and death!"

Uchiha Shigeaki looked at the Otsutsuki brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura, with great seriousness. "I remember you two said that life and death cannot be easily reversed, otherwise the rules of the world's operation will be broken, and some dangers will arise."

"Clearly, the fact that you can say that means you also understand the rules of how the world works and have some basic knowledge of them."

"But have you considered that the souls in the Pure Land only enter and never leave, which is constantly consuming the world's power, weakening themselves, and even destroying themselves!"

"This……"

Upon hearing what Hatake Akira said, even Otsutsuki Hagoromo could not remain calm.

"Indeed, I have stayed in the Pure Land for a thousand years and I can clearly feel that the power of the Pure Land is increasing while the power of the Ninja World is decreasing."

"But then again, even so, the total amount of power in this world has not changed. It's just a matter of shifting from one hand to the other. Whether it's the Ninja World or the Pure Land, they are both part of this world."

"what!"

Akira Hatake was amused by Hagoromo Otsutsuki's words, "Old man Hagoromo, I'm not blaming you, you're really getting more and more out of touch with reality!"

"From a macro perspective, the world's power has not been depleted, but the weakening of the ninja world's power is the greatest drain on this world!"

Hatake Akira looked the two Otsutsuki brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura, up and down with an unfriendly expression. "Don't forget, you two, we don't rely on these souls in the Pure Land to deal with the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens, but on those people in the ninja world!"

"So, do you understand what I'm saying?"
