Uchiha's personal opinion

Sakumo Hatake immediately focused his attention on sensing the surroundings, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It really is..."

This unexpected surprise left Sakumo Hatake somewhat at a loss.

This also means that he can climb to a higher level of power!

"But...why is that?!"

Sakumo Hatake was not unfamiliar with natural energy.

Like every powerful ninja in the ninja world, he had thought about utilizing the omnipresent natural energy of the ninja world, but he had not made any progress until now.

At this moment, simply by sensing it, one can slightly stir up those natural energies that were originally extremely "inert"!

"Perhaps it's the arrival of a new era~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu looked up at the sky.

It was still daytime, but Uchiha Tokumitsu knew that the moon was always high in the sky.

Chapter 361 The Earth-Moon Transformation

"The distance between the ninja world and the moon has become closer!"

The White Snake Immortal of Ryuchi Cave spoke with an extremely solemn expression to the Toad Immortal's clone who had come to visit again.

The growth of natural energy is related to the situation in the ninja world and even the future of the alien gathering place, so it is naturally very concerned about it.

"This……"

The Toad Sage gasped in shock, a chill running down his spine from head to toe.

The result was truly shocking, yet it left it no choice but to believe it.

The Dragon Cave lineage, residing beneath the Nine Netherworlds, possesses an extremely profound understanding of forces such as magnetic fields and gravity, so the White Snake Immortal would naturally not make a wrong judgment in this regard.

But, if that's the case...

The toad immortal, who was filled with dread upon closer inspection, was immediately thrown into a panic.

It's important to know that in ancient times, there were no satellites like the moon in this world!

The moon that hangs high in the sky today was forcibly separated from this world when the Sage of Six Paths used "Planetary Devastation" to seal his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But over thousands of years, even the Toad Immortal had long been accustomed to the existence of the moon in the sky, so hearing it now...

World destruction!

A terrifying thought flashed through the mind of the Toad Immortal.

The fact that the distance between the moon and the ninja world has become closer indicates that Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed away, is acting strangely!

Whether it's Kaguya Otsutsuki breaking free from her seal or the moon crashing into the ninja world, both signify the destruction of the ninja world! Even the sacred lands cannot escape this calamity!

"and many more!"

The toad sage suddenly thought of something.

"Could the changing distance between the moon and the ninja world be the reason for the increased activity of natural energy?!"

"Or so!"

The White Snake Immortal's head was no longer held high; he appeared somewhat dejected.

This was also the first time that the Toad Immortal had seen his old rival, the White Snake Ancestor, display such an expression.

"The source... might be a descendant of Indra!"

The toad sage let out a hoarse growl: "He sacrificed Kaguya Otsutsuki with his blood! That's what caused all of this!"

Whether or not, it needs to find an outlet for its emotions.

"We can't delay any longer..."

The White Snake Immortal wholeheartedly agreed.

"Has your Earthwalker returned to normal?"

"...I'm still feeling a bit down."

The Toad Sage shook his head slightly.

"waste!"

The White Snake Immortal cursed loudly.

The toad sage remained silent.

……

After a month of seclusion, Orochimaru finally emerged from his retreat.

At this moment, he was full of confidence, striding forward with an air of grandeur.

Just as I stepped out the door, I overheard a conversation between two police ninjas.

"I've heard that the hot springs at Namaka River are particularly effective. Why don't we take a vacation and try them out?"

"Let's wait a while. There are too many people lately. Who knows how much poop and pee is in those hot spring water!"

"...You're right!"

Has a new hot spring resort been built in the village?

Although Orochimaru wasn't interested in hot springs, he still looked up a sentence.

"Oh! It's Lord Orochimaru!"

The Uchiha ninja from the police department, who were rambling on, only then noticed Orochimaru's presence.

After making progress in his study of Sage Mode, Orochimaru not only improved his strength, but also took his ability to conceal his aura to a new level.

Orochimaru was also very satisfied with the reaction of the police department ninjas.

After all, while "wearing fine clothes at night" aligns with the habits of ninjas, Orochimaru still harbored a certain desire to show off.

"...It is indeed a newly built hot spring resort."

One of the police department ninjas answered honestly.

"Really? Is it in Kabukicho or somewhere else?"

Orochimaru thoroughly enjoyed the Uchiha ninja's shocked expressions, and at the same time, he didn't mind showing off his approachable nature.

To outsiders, Orochimaru seemed somewhat strange at this time.

"No... at the Nakagawa Ninjutsu Training Grounds."

The two police ninjas exchanged a glance and then answered.

"Nanhe River..."

Orochimaru was taken aback by what he heard.

Isn't that the Uchiha clan's own training ground?

Why was it turned into a hot spring resort?!

"Lord Orochimaru, now that you have finished your training, may we retreat?"

A Uchiha ninja interrupted Orochimaru's thoughts.

"...Thank you for your hard work."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded.

……

However, when Orochimaru arrived at the "Nanka River Hot Spring Resort" mentioned by the police department ninja, he was completely numb.

Despite the huge crowd, his status allowed him to enter the hot spring restaurant directly.

But... this is called a hot spring?!

This is more like Wenhu!

Orochimaru was genuinely horrified after learning from others that the so-called "spring" was created by Uchiha Tokumitsu's ninjutsu.

"The power of the Tailed Beast Ball is nothing more than this..."

Standing by the "hot spring," Orochimaru stared blankly at the lake before him, muttering to himself.

That initial hint of arrogance vanished instantly.

……

"Is there a change in the celestial phenomena?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu felt a headache coming on as he held the astronomical report presented by the Ashina clan chief.

"Yes, as time goes by, the moon may fall into the ninja world in the future, leading to the extinction of all living beings in the ninja world."

Although Ashina Uzumaki's words were very heavy, his expression remained very relaxed.

"...Ten thousand years from now?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu flipped through the report, looked at the values ​​calculated by the Uzumaki ninja, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Probably, it will be at least 100,000 years before the moon gets close to the ninja world, but the exact time cannot be calculated."

Ashina shrugged, looking completely at ease.

No wonder he was so calm.

Uchiha Tokumitsu muttered to himself.

Ten thousand years later, the bones will have turned to ash, so there's no need to be nervous.

Besides, each generation has its own responsibilities, and trusting in the wisdom of future generations is a good option, so there's no need to take everything to heart.

"Research on the Influence of Celestial Phenomena on Natural Energy?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu then saw the newly established projects submitted by the Uzumaki ninjas on the last page of the report, and then saw the astronomical budget.

Then Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately lost his composure!
