Chapter 337 The Leek Theory?

In Konoha, Black Zetsu was on tenterhooks.

The screen says that the Sage of Six Paths secretly protected Naruto and Sasuke, which seems to be true.

Danzo's mischief in Konoha resulted in the appearance of Otsutsuki Ichiraku, who taught the Kage a lesson. Black Zetsu is certain that Otsutsuki Hagoromo's soul was possessed by an ordinary person.

If Hagoromo is secretly watching Konoha, then his infiltration of Konoha might be discovered.

Given that the light screen has already revealed Black Zetsu's identity, will the Sage of Six Paths let him go once he discovers him?
For thousands of years, Black Zetsu has remained hidden in the shadows because of his lack of strength. If he were strong, he wouldn't need to hide at all, and he wouldn't need any schemes to rescue his mother; he could simply overpower her with his strength.

Therefore, Black Zetsu is quite self-aware.

As for Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi of Konoha, Black Zetsu wasn't too concerned.

Even though it was dangerous in Konoha, Black Zetsu did not flee far away.

Black Zetsu's current idea is simple: to guide Neji and make him stronger.

Only when Neji becomes stronger will he be able to summon his Black Zetsu's mother.

"Once Mother is summoned by spirit, the rest will be simple," Black Zetsu thought to himself.

As for the cooperation with Neji, it is only temporary.

Ultimately, Black Zetsu was just using Neji.

[The "Leek Theory" of the Ninja World.]

Suddenly, the live broadcast on the screen changed.

Black Zetsu and Neji both looked toward the light screen in mid-air.

"The leek theory?" Neji looked at Black Zetsu with a puzzled expression. Black Zetsu had lived for over a thousand years and was very knowledgeable; he should know about it.

However, Neji overestimated Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu knows a lot, but he doesn't know the "leek theory".

Black Zetsu knew about leeks, or rather, there weren't many people in the ninja world who didn't know.

After all, chives are a common vegetable.

Take Konoha for example, you can hardly find anyone who has never eaten chives.

Chives are characterized by their rapid growth; once one crop is cut, another crop will quickly grow back.

[A thousand years ago, there were no ninjas. With the establishment of the Ninja Clan, chakra began to spread, and various ninjutsu began to appear. After a ninja died, his soul entered the Pure Land and became the power that the Lord of the Pure Land could control. As the lineage of ninjas continued from generation to generation, the number of ninja spirits in the Pure Land also increased.]

Black Zetsu had a strange look on his face.

Good grief, this is aimed at Hagoromo!
Wonderful, wonderful.

I really want to give Black Zetsu a thumbs up.

According to what was shown on the screen, it really makes sense.

The ninja world is a nursery, ninjas are the leeks being cultivated, and what is harvested are the souls of ninjas. The Impure World Reincarnation technique can prove this.

This is the theory of "leeks" (a metaphor for exploiting consumers).

Undoubtedly, the 'harvesting leeks' of the ninja world refers to the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

The arguments presented on the screen are so logical and well-founded that it's impossible not to believe them!

For a moment, the chat group fell silent.

Those watching the light screen all had blank minds.

Even the immortals from the three holy lands of the spirit world were stunned at this moment.

After a while, a member spoke in the group.

[Is this for real? Are ninjas like leeks grown in a nursery, harvested generation after generation?]

【Are you kidding me? How could such a thing be possible?】

[This is utter nonsense about being exploited like a leek; I don't believe it, absolutely not.]

……

Many people are unwilling to face what they cannot accept.

Some people fail to deceive others, but end up deceiving themselves.

Hashirama and Madara in the Pure Land also stared wide-eyed.

Hashirama and Madara never considered the "leek theory" mentioned on the light screen.

At this moment, both Hashirama and Madara fell into thought.

Even the naturally optimistic Hashirama looked serious about this matter.

If the "leek theory" mentioned on the screen is true, then this is truly terrifying.

Even though Hashirama Senju was known as the God of Shinobi, he was actually just a leek grown in the nursery of the ninja world. He found it hard to accept such a cruel reality.

Then, Hashirama was confused. He had worked so hard to establish Konoha. Was it meaningful to the ninja world?
Ninjas are all just easy targets; the ninja villages gather them together simply to make it easier for those behind the scenes to exploit them!

As for the so-called "leeks harvester," is it the Sage of Six Paths?

……

Ban was also thinking about it.

The Eye of the Moon Plan was a conspiracy, a plan by Black Zetsu to save his mother, which he foolishly believed in before his death.

As for believing in the feasibility of the Eye of the Moon Plan only after seeing the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths, that's too naive. If you think about it carefully, if the Eye of the Moon Plan really was left by the Sage of Six Paths, then why didn't the Sage of Six Paths himself allow the ninja world to enter peace?
If it weren't for the light screen revealing the truth, Madara would have been completely outmaneuvered by Black Zetsu.

Now, another theory about being exploited by consumers has emerged.

And this "leek theory" is truly terrifying.

Even Ban was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the "leek theory" on the light screen.

Therefore, the waters of the ninja world are too deep. He thought he could control it, but in reality, he couldn't.

It's also possible that the "leek theory" is just nonsense.

But after careful analysis, Ban felt that the "leek theory" was probably true.

Just as the screen said, the Impure World Reincarnation technique is actually proof of this.

And Madara Uchiha is now a spirit of the Pure Land, so he is the power of the Lord of the Pure Land!
The remaining spirits in the Pure Land are also the power of the Lord of the Pure Land.

As long as the era of ninjas continues, countless ninja souls will enter the Pure Land generation after generation.

This made Ban feel very upset.

In the Pure Land, Madara tried to find Hashirama, but he couldn't.

Finding the owner of the Pure Land in the Pure Land is certainly very difficult.

……

Tobirama Senju was also analyzing the situation carefully.

The Impure World Reincarnation Technique is a forbidden technique developed by Tobirama during his lifetime. It is a technique that can summon the spirits of the dead from the Pure Land to the mortal world.

Although the Reincarnation Technique is not common in the ninja world, there are some.

However, in the current ninja world, the Impure World Reincarnation technique is probably the strongest reincarnation technique.

The ability to summon the spirits of the dead from the Pure Land to fight in the mortal world, coupled with unlimited chakra and immortality, makes people believe the "leek theory" even more.

According to Tobirama's analysis, the leek theory is highly credible.

According to Tobirama, there is a greater than 90% chance that the "leek theory" exists.

At that moment, Tobirama thought of Kaguya, after all, Kaguya was the progenitor of chakra in the ninja world!
However, Kaguya was sealed on the moon.

The "leek theory" clearly refers to a pure land.

It has little to do with Kaguya; the most likely connection is the Sage of Six Paths.

The soul of the Sage of Six Paths is probably somewhere in the Pure Land.

The souls of ninjas are a part of the power of the Pure Land, and the power of the entire Pure Land should be controlled by the Sage of Six Paths.

Now, who knows how many ninja spirits have been added to the Pure Land.

"So, the Sage of Six Paths established the Ninja Clan just to fleece the people?" Tobirama's expression was also grim.

This is really terrible.

Some people in the group disagreed.

Even Tobirama wanted to deny it, but there's no point in deceiving yourself.

Since the "leek harvesting theory" is likely true, it needs to be proven. Furthermore, exposing the masterminds behind this exploitation, regardless of whether they are powerful figures or not, is unforgivable.

Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, and although Tobirama is currently a spirit of the Pure Land, he still intends to find out.

If ninjas are truly like leeks being cultivated in a nursery, then that's truly tragic, and this must be changed.

Looking around, Tobirama was deep in thought.

I have been in the Pure Land for several decades now.

……

Somewhere in the ninja world, Orochimaru was also shocked.

Are ninjas like leeks?

Harvesting crop after crop?
This is absolutely terrifying.

"I could summon a ninja to ask him properly," Orochimaru thought.

As for who to summon, Orochimaru had already thought of it: he would summon the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Although Tobirama's strength was not comparable to Hashirama and Madara, he was very talented, as evidenced by the large number of forbidden techniques he developed. After becoming Hokage, Tobirama made many contributions to Konoha, such as establishing the Ninja Academy and the Anbu.

Tobirama has been in the Pure Land for decades and should have some understanding of it.

The spirits of the dead in the Pure Land can also see the light screen.

Therefore, Tobirama must have seen the "leek theory" mentioned on the light screen.

Orochimaru is eager to summon Tobirama using Edo Tensei to ask him questions, hoping to gain some valuable insights.

However, Orochimaru was unsure whether things would go smoothly.

If there truly is an entity that treats ninjas like韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for exploiting them), then with the exposure of the light barrier, it will surely be able to control the spirits of the dead in the Pure Land.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique requires both a vessel and genes.

Orochimaru had no shortage of containers.

Any ninja can be summoned to serve as a vessel.

Orochimaru also collected Tobirama's genes.

So Orochimaru simply summoned a ninja and then took out Tobirama's genes.

Orochimaru further refined the Impure World Reincarnation technique, building upon the original version developed by Tobirama.

This wasn't the first time Orochimaru had used the Impure World Reincarnation technique; he was already quite skilled at it.

With the completion of the Impure World Reincarnation, a coffin was formed.

The coffin stood upright, and as the lid opened, Tokima emerged from it.

The Impure World technique involves covering a container with dust to recreate the appearance before birth. Therefore, Tobirama's current body is actually that of one of Orochimaru's subordinates.

"Second Hokage," Orochimaru said with a smile.

However, Tobirama remained expressionless.

"you are?"

Orochimaru was stunned by Tobirama's question.

Tobirama doesn't recognize him?

Orochimaru appeared on the screen quite often, so Tobirama should have recognized him at a glance.

But it's not normal that Tobirama doesn't recognize him now.

After Orochimaru gave a brief self-introduction and explained his purpose in resurrecting Tobirama using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tobirama was surprised.

Upon learning that Orochimaru was a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tobirama nodded.

As for the "leek theory" and the light curtain in the sky, Tobirama was unable to remain calm.

Tobirama couldn't recall any memories of the Pure Land.

This is bad for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru resurrected Tobirama using the Impure World Reincarnation technique so that he could learn more about the Pure Land. However, Tobirama couldn't recall any memories of the Pure Land.

Now, Orochimaru believed the "leek theory" mentioned on the light screen even more.

Indeed, the Impure World Reincarnation is proof of this.

Just like now, Tobirama has been successfully resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, while Tobirama Senju has been dead for decades and his soul has long since entered the Pure Land.

As a result, Tobirama is now telling Orochimaru that he has no memory of the Pure Land, which is very strange.

"It seems that ninjas really are like leeks. Those with a lot of chakra are delicious leeks, while those with little chakra are better than nothing. All the techniques that can summon the dead to the mortal world cannot make the dead remember everything in the Pure Land. This is because the mastermind is preventing the dead in the Pure Land from communicating with the mortal world." Orochimaru analyzed.

Listening to Orochimaru's analysis, Tobirama nodded, sharing the same view as Orochimaru.

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique can be further improved. If it is perfected enough, the summoned spirits may remember everything from the Pure Land," Tobirama said to Orochimaru after thinking for a moment.

The "leek theory" gave Tobirama goosebumps.

Therefore, Tobirama also valued it.

Orochimaru wasn't in a hurry to undo the Impure World Reincarnation.

As for Tobirama, Orochimaru has no control over him now, and he can release himself, but he's not in a hurry to return to the Pure Land.

Since he had been summoned by Orochimaru, Tobirama wanted to learn more about the current ninja world.

In addition, Tobirama will work with Orochimaru to improve the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Some of the members in the group are undead.

The spirits of the dead in the Pure Land can communicate with ninjas in the mortal world through chat groups.

Regarding the Pure Land, some members in the group shared their thoughts, revealing quite a bit.

……

Deep within the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths was utterly bewildered.

The Leek Theory?

In the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths is somewhat special.

But to say that all the souls that enter the Pure Land will become his power is to overestimate him.

He's not that powerful.

After seeing the "leek theory" presented on the screen, even he felt it made sense and was well-founded.

Although the light screen didn't explicitly say so, it pointed the finger at him.

This left him completely bewildered.

At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths could only say that the light barrier was slandering him!
The Sage of Six Paths never treated ninjas like crops to be harvested.

What evil intentions could someone have in establishing the Ninja Clan?
Spreading chakra is also to help people understand each other and make the ninja world more peaceful.

But when the "leek theory" appeared on the screen, it made him, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, look like the main villain.

Aside from feeling sorry for his mother, Hagoromo Otsutsuki has been fair to everyone.

What? He wronged Indra? Choosing Ashura to inherit the Ninjutsu sect back then wasn't fair to Indra?

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Indra was very excellent, much better than Ashura in some aspects, but in his opinion, Ashura was more suitable to inherit the Ninja Sect than Indra.

In addition, most members of the Ninja Clan also support Ashura.

Therefore, he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Indra's running away from home was simply a sign of his immaturity.

As for now, he feels he might be in trouble.

The "leek theory" is terrifying. Everyone thinks that Hagoromo Otsutsuki treats ninjas like leeks to be harvested, so they will definitely try to kill him.

Previously, in order to deal with Danzo, he had his soul possessed Ichiraku, which took a toll on him.

He hasn't fully recovered yet.

At this moment, if a powerful ninja were to deal with him, he might not be able to handle it.

"Damn the light screen, the leek theory is completely fake." Otsutsuki Hagoromo cursed inwardly. He was certain that the leek theory was fake, but others were not so sure. Many people actually believed it to be true.

At this moment, he sensed some of the spirits of the dead in the Pure Land. These spirits either directly believed in the "leek theory" or were half-believing and half-doubting.
