Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 636 I understood it all along...

Master Cixian was a very kind and benevolent monk.

In other words, within the territory of Konoha Village, if you are even slightly fierce or menacing, you will have no way to spread your Buddhist teachings.

Prior to this, Yuya had always been wary of Buddhism and other religions in the Land of Fire; they were welcome to come to Konoha, but not to preach.

Therefore, when Jigen received Yuya's invitation to come to Konoha Village to spread his teachings, he had no reason to refuse.

Of course, Jigen, or rather, Isshiki Otsutsuki within Jigen, had considered the possibility that this might be a trap.

After careful consideration, Otsutsuki Isshiki felt that his disguise was perfect, and that he had been very respectful ever since Yua became the Third Hokage. The Kara organization he created was only in the stage of training members and had no intention of causing trouble at all.

There's no reason why these people from Konoha would be able to discover his existence.

Moreover, if I miss this opportunity, who knows when I'll be able to spread what I've learned in the future.

Cixian is a powerful cultivator who has cultivated for over a thousand years.

However, the reason he has been able to live for nearly a thousand years is simply because he was chosen by Otsutsuki Isshiki, or rather, Otsutsuki Isshiki had no choice but to choose him and make him a wedge, which is why he has been able to live until now.

Over the centuries, Cixian had witnessed countless wars, large and small, and therefore held Yuya in high esteem.

Without Yua, the ninja world would undoubtedly not be as peaceful as it is now.

Although he lived several hundred years longer than Yuya, to be honest, he never succeeded in stopping everyone from killing each other.

But Yuya did it, and for that alone, Cixian had great respect for Yuya.

Even setting aside any bias towards Yua, the mere act of spreading the doctrine within Konoha Village would be enough to excite Jigen greatly.

Therefore, this is a calculated move.

Whether from Jigen's or Otsutsuki Isshiki's perspective, this trip to Konoha Village was truly a must.

Cixian was taken to the guesthouse.

Seeing this, Cixian relaxed even more.

What kind of place is the Yingbinguan?

This is where the Kage from the other five great ninja villages stay when they come to Konoha!

Jigen never thought that because he had lived for nearly a thousand years, his status was higher than that of the Five Kage.

Unfortunately, Isshiki Otsutsuki never truly trusted Jigen, because Jigen was his only choice after being ambushed by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Under such circumstances, how could Isshiki Otsutsuki wholeheartedly help Jigen?

Otherwise, are you suggesting that you completely bind Isshiki Otsutsuki to Jigen?!

Even if Jigen were willing, Otsutsuki Isshiki wouldn't!

Cixian's talent is really not that great.

Cixian stayed at the guesthouse for three days. During those three days, almost no one came to see him. Apart from the staff at the guesthouse asking him what he wanted to eat or when he needed cleaning services, no one bothered him.

This made Jigen even more certain that Konoha Village had simply invited him to explain what they had gained from their cultivation.

Yes, that's right, Cixian practices natural energy.

As for power...

It's definitely not as overpowered as Sage Mode.

On the fourth day, someone invited Tzu-hsien to give a lecture.

Cixian had no suspicions and followed the staff to a high platform.

There was a microphone in front of him.

Cixian knew exactly what this meant; he was already imagining himself appearing before everyone in the world.

Then, I can give a profound lecture on cultivation, and I can become a big celebrity in the entire ninja world almost overnight!

Tzu-hsien firmly believed this.

This conviction made him ignore the fact that there were no staff members present.

Or rather...

Because someone appeared in front of him, he never suspected that there was anything wrong with what was happening.

You Ya was standing right in front of him.

"Mr. Hokage, you really are as charming as ever," Jigen said with a smile, flattering Yuya.

Yuya looked intently at Cixian, and after a moment, sighed helplessly. Yuya said softly, "Mr. Cixian, there are some things I'll say frankly... You've lived from nearly a thousand years ago until now..."

Could it be that you really can't detect anything at all?

Jigen's face stiffened abruptly, then his expression shifted several times. After a long pause, he said softly, "Hokage-sensei, what are you saying?"

Yuya calmly looked at Jigen and said, "The power of the Otsutsuki clan is not so easy to control. You were used by that person named Otsutsuki Isshiki."

For thousands of years, you've been hiding, never daring to truly appear in the sunlight. Hasn't Mr. Cixian had enough of this?

Because he lived so long, Cixian actually used many names.

However, Cixian is indeed his real name.

It is his real name, which he has only recently started using again.

Because he discovered that the ninja world had truly achieved peace.

He can now walk on the earth using his real name.

And what brought peace to the ninja world...

It's this man in front of me...

only……

"Mr. Hokage, you..."

Yu Ya interrupted the other person helplessly: "Some things don't disappear just because you don't acknowledge them. Master Cixian, you should understand this better than we do."

Cixian remained silent for a long time before raising his head and asking Youya, "How was I exposed?"

Yuya, of course, couldn't say that he got the information from another world. Instead, he said righteously, "Konoha's Anbu has never disappointed me."

Jigen sighed, then said sincerely to Yuya, "He, oh, the one you mentioned, Otsutsuki Isshiki, Hokage-sensei, he's not the kind of person who would bring disaster to the ninja world. I'm absolutely certain of that. Could we just pretend that what happened today never happened?"

You Ya looked at Ci Xian calmly and said, "Master, you should know better than me whether this is just your side of the story or not your true feelings."

Cixian opened his mouth, and after a moment, he lowered his head with lifeless eyes.

Yes, in fact, Jigen had known all along that Otsutsuki Isshiki was no good.

only……

After all, thousands of years have passed, and he still has some thoughts in his mind.

What if?

What if Otsutsuki Isshiki really isn't the type to resort to scheming and trickery?

just in case……

Was the Naruto mistaken?

However, the hardest person to deceive is oneself.

The fact that Otsutsuki Isshiki started building the Shell organization shows that he was no longer willing to continue waiting idly.

He actually...

I've known this for a long time...
