Ninja World: I am really a support ninja

"But Ming, the Pure Land is not only for the dead..."

A trace of worry appeared on Minato Namikaze's face. He didn't want Hatake Akira to sacrifice his life just to verify his guess.

"Don't worry, teacher. I cherish my life very much and will never do anything that I am not sure of."

Hatake Akira smiled and said, "I already have a way to enter the Pure Land, and this method is very safe and will not cause any harm to me."

When on the moon, Hatake Akira was able to let his soul leave his body and enter the Six Paths Seal that sealed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Since it was possible then, it is possible now and naturally in the future.

"As long as you are sure."

Namikaze Minato nodded, and then asked, "Ming, have you ever thought about whether planting a sacred tree in the Pure Land would cause some unrest?"

"And I remember you mentioned earlier that the soul of the Six Paths Sage also exists in the Pure Land. When you plant the sacred tree, will he come out to obstruct you?"

"In addition to the above, how to plant the sacred tree, how long does it take for the sacred tree's fruit to grow, how to deal with the sacred tree's fruit after it matures... etc., these are all problems that need to be solved one by one."

It has to be said that Namikaze Minato's considerations were very meticulous, and the questions he raised completely hit the nail on the head for Hatake Akira.

"Don't worry, teacher. I have already thought of solutions to these problems."

Hatake Akira patted his chest and made the promise, then put the sacred tree seed in his hand into the sealing scroll.

Next, it’s time to address these issues.

Chapter 362: Get Orochimaru to join the gang.

Konoha, Orochimaru's secret research base.

When Akira Hatake returned from Mt. Myoboku, he found Orochimaru as soon as possible.

As for Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze, they continued to stay in Myoboku Mountain to practice fairy arts.

However, according to Hatake Akira's speculation, the two of them will be able to complete their training and return to Konoha Village in about a week.

"Ming Jun, what instructions do you have for coming this time?"

Orochimaru grinned and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

"Orochimaru, please stop being so disgusting."

Hatake Akira curled his lips, complained, and got straight to the point, "Orochimaru, are you interested in going to the Pure Land with me?"

"To the Pure Land?"

Orochimaru was stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared, "Ming Jun, I have to remind you that the Pure Land... is not a place where living people should go."

"It's true that this is not a place where living people should go, but no one has stipulated that living people can't take a stroll in the Pure Land."

Hatake Akira shook his head and patted Orochimaru on the shoulder. "Orochimaru, you are fearless, so why did you…"

"Mingjun, you are really a man of great skill and courage." Orochimaru smiled bitterly, "What is this place called Pure Land? I know very little about it."

"Your Majesty should know that the less you understand something, the scarier it is. The Pure Land is very dangerous to me. If we make the slightest mistake, we may..."

Orochimaru stared into Hatake Akira's eyes very seriously, "It is very likely that we will never come back!"

"I understand your concerns, but I should be able to keep you safe with me here."

Hatake Akira comforted Orochimaru and then revealed his plan.

As expected by Hatake Akira, Orochimaru was full of curiosity about everything unknown and had a strong desire to explore.

Hatake Akira's idea is very unorthodox, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to analyze that what Hatake Akira said is very possible and feasible.

"Ming Jun, the surprises you give me are bigger than each other!"

Orochimaru sighed, "You dare to think about planting the sacred tree in the Pure Land. Aren't you afraid that the brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura will fight you to death?"

"what!"

Hatake Akira grinned, "Those two brothers have fought with me to death, but now I am still alive and well, right?"

"That being said, the Pure Land is, after all, the home turf of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo. If we go there rashly... I'm worried..."

"Orochimaru, this is really unlike you."

Hatake Akira was a little stunned. Orochimaru had clearly shown great interest just now, but now he was still hesitating. He was completely different from the fearless Orochimaru of the past.

"Ming Jun, I have not changed. I am still willing to sacrifice everything for the truth."

Orochimaru rarely spoke to explain what he was thinking, "But Mingjun, there is one thing you must understand. My body is supported by my technology, so if it is lost, it is no big deal."

"But the soul is different. It is unique and cannot be replicated. Once the soul is destroyed, the person is truly dead..."

"I was fearless before because I had the means to revive myself with my soul. But if I go to the Pure Land with you and something unexpected happens, I really won't survive."

"So that's what you're worried about."

Hatake knew what Orochimaru was worried about, but he was still confident that he could drag Orochimaru into the water.

"Orochimaru, my plan is crazy and the execution of the plan is very difficult, but fortune comes with risk, and I think you will be interested in the subsequent benefits."

"Benefits? You mean the fruit of the sacred tree?"

Orochimaru shook his head and laughed, "Ming-shun, I thought you knew me. My pursuit of power comes far behind knowledge."

"I'm sorry, my lord. I must live, and sing better and better while I live. Only in this way can I read and study the endless knowledge that is as vast as smoke."

"No, no, no, Orochimaru, you misunderstood, and you don't quite understand me."

Hatake Akira also shook his head and smiled, "I understand the needs of everyone around me, so do you think I don't know what you want most?"

Patting Orochimaru's shoulder again, "Orochimaru, to be honest, the reason why I want to go to the Pure Land to plant the sacred tree is for two purposes."

"I don't need to explain the first purpose. Anyway, you don't care much about power, and you don't care much about the survival of the ninja world."

"But my second purpose is closely related to you, and closely related to your ultimate goal."

Orochimaru tilted his head, gradually becoming interested, "Mingjun, please tell me in detail."

Akira Hatake nodded and told Orochimaru about his incomplete deduction about the Pure Land mechanism, and also told him that he wanted to use the Divine Tree to achieve the goal of completing the Pure Land reincarnation mechanism.

"Ming Jun...sometimes I have to admit that your insight and foresight far surpass everyone else."

Orochimaru was full of admiration, "However, Mingjun, although I agree with your inference about the incomplete mechanism of the Pure Land, as for planting the sacred tree in the Pure Land... I am still on the sidelines."

"Orochimaru, if the reincarnation mechanism of the Pure Land is completed, you can gain eternal life of both soul and body, will you take this risk with me?"

"Akira, are you sure?!" Orochimaru's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his snake pupils stared at Hatake Akira.

"I'm not sure, because until things are really set in stone, no one knows what the outcome will be."

Hatake Akira did not say anything definite, but instead made a promise, hoping that Orochimaru would use it to make a decision.

"But Orochimaru, as long as you go to the Pure Land with me this time, I can fully assure you that I will do my best to help you achieve the above ambitions."

"Ming Jun, you should know that what I don't believe in the most is promises..."

Orochimaru lowered his head and dragged out the last line of his words.

But two or three seconds later, Orochimaru raised his head again, "But I still trust you, Master Ming, so... I agree!"

"Orochimaru, your decision this time will be just like your last decision, it will benefit you greatly."

Hatake Akira showed a look of joy. With the help of Orochimaru, he believed that his journey to the Pure Land would help him avoid many detours.

"Let's hope that this won't cost us our lives."

There was a flash of worry in Orochimaru's eyes, although it was fleeting, the lack of confidence in his words still exposed his true thoughts.

"Alright, Orochimaru, let's hurry up and make preparations. If we work together, the success rate of this trip will be at least 70%!"

Hatake Akira encouraged Orochimaru again, and Orochimaru quickly returned to normal, with a calm expression on his face again.

"Okay, let's get started..."

Having said that, Orochimaru turned and walked away, and Hatake Akira quickly followed him.

Chapter 363: Controversy in the Pure Land.

The pure land is vast and boundless.

There are no gusts of cold wind, nor any strange buildings, only silence and white snow.

But there is one thing that is very special, which both Hatake Akira and Orochimaru felt.

Comfortable.

Yes, it is comfort, a comfort that comes from the depths of the soul.

"Ming Jun, did you feel it too?"

Meeting Hatake Akira's gaze, Orochimaru asked seriously.

"Well, the Pure Land is created for the soul, and it has a certain nourishing effect on the soul."

"But Ming Jun, I think this is not all."

Orochimaru rarely became serious, "I completely believe what Mingjun said before."

Orochimaru drew a big circle with his hands. "I don't know how big the Pure Land is, but it must have existed for a very long time, maybe a thousand years, or maybe ten thousand years."

“Just imagine, in a pure land without reincarnation, even if it is accumulated for a thousand years, the number of souls in the pure land will be an astronomical number.”

"If those souls feel the nourishment of the power in the Pure Land like we do, then we can imagine... what kind of power the Pure Land contains!"

Listening to Orochimaru's inference, Hatake Akira nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this is the purpose of our trip, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Hatake Akira continued to walk forward, and Orochimaru followed closely behind him.

As they walked, Hatake Akira and Orochimaru felt that the road ahead became sticky, and every step required a lot of effort.

At the same time, human souls with completely different clothing and appearance appeared before the two of them.

Some wore costumes from the Warring States period, some wore modern ninja clothes, and there were even some souls wearing animal skirts and dressed like ancient humans.

Hatake Akira and Orochimaru looked at each other, and both became more certain of their guesses.

However, just when the two wanted to move forward, the two brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura suddenly appeared beside them.

One on the left and one on the right, they trapped Hatake Akira and Orochimaru together, leaving the two with no way to escape.
