Chapter 30: I'll force it.
He has traveled through the human world countless times.
This time, he was no longer blindly observing the masses, but pursuing more power.
One of the things I wanted to explore was the "other forces" in the Naruto world.
In the original work, there is the King of Hell, the Shiki-warashi (death demons) seal away the Shinigami (death gods), Hidan's faith, and the concept of the Pure Land.
None of these points were given a reasonable explanation in the original Naruto manga.
Now, he possesses formidable strength.
Naturally, we should investigate further.
However, it's still quite difficult because I have no clue what to do.
Even hand seals for ninjutsu haven't been invented yet, let alone all sorts of ninjutsu.
"Bang!"
Just then, a little monkey appeared beside Wanci, accompanied by a puff of smoke.
Wanci raised an eyebrow; this was the White Ape King's messenger monkey.
"No way... even the White Ape King is failing?"
A bad feeling welled up in my heart every time.
Grandpa Whitebrow has only been dead for a hundred years, and now the White Ape King is also coming to an end?
The White Snake Sage can rest assured, because he has lived all the way to Boruto.
But the White Ape King...
"Alas, life and death are predestined..."
Wanci sighed softly and opened the envelope.
However, what came into view was not an obituary, but a short statement.
"Wanci, come quick! We've spotted a mysterious jungle camp!"
—A sexy white-haired monkey
"This guy..."
Wanci's expression tightened.
It was hard not to feel tense; the White Ape King was still as childlike as ever.
As for why the White Ape King knows so many memes.
That's naturally influenced by my past self.
Before even putting it on, Wanci was already familiar with a whole host of things on the internet.
The gentleman is proficient in all ten arts: classics, filial piety, urgency, tension, joy, winning, nourishment, hemp, entrustment, and arrangement.
When I first came into this world, I unintentionally uttered many "witty remarks and profound truths".
Upon hearing this, the White Ape King immediately began to relentlessly use those jokes, something he'd been doing for centuries without getting tired of...
But Wanci is not what it used to be...
The boy who used to constantly preach patience, open-mindedness, and resilience has now transformed into a composed and sage.
Ape Demon Clan
Having come here countless times, I know exactly where I am now; it's still the same place it was over a hundred years ago.
Upon entering the cave, one sees the White Ape King, who resembles a mischievous old man.
"Wow! Manji, it really is you!"
The White Ape King leaped and landed in front of Wanci.
Wan Ci gave a helpless smile: "White Ape King, you're older than me, how come you're still so eccentric?"
"Hehehe, you don't understand, do you? Ten thousand times."
The White Ape King scratched his head.
"When I see old friends, I automatically switch to the age we were when we first met!"
"We all have a part of ourselves preserved in our old friends. The meaning of seeing an old friend is that when you are down and out, I still remember how spirited you were."
"Just like me, in my memory, you weren't the steady, legendary Sage of Six Paths, but rather the spirited, ambitious Manji who dared to challenge aliens!"
The White Ape King spoke with a nostalgic expression.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed Wan Ci's eyes, and he nodded, "That makes sense."
Wanci sat on the stone bench and slowly asked, "When did you summon me, White Ape King...?"
"Hehe, it's been so many years, I've missed you terribly. Sometimes I dream about fighting side by side with you in a one-hit wonder..."
The White Ape King chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Wan Ci smiled and nodded.
In truth, Isshiki Otsutsuki should be completely dead.
Since no monks were passing by at the time, Otsutsuki Isshiki was directly chewed up by the Ten-Tails.
The man and the ape first caught up on their old times.
Immediately, the White Ape King got straight to the point.
"It's like this, a few days ago when I went to the human world, I found many crows, but that's not the main point. The main point is that I discovered a different kind of power in those crows!"
"It's a power similar to magic!"
The White Ape King said.
Wan Ci paused slightly, then... a celestial technique?
Is it possible that immortal techniques exist not only in the three great immortal lands and among the ape demon clan, but also in other places where immortal techniques are passed down?
"Oh? Take me to see it."
Wan Ci said.
The two figures, one human and one ape, suddenly moved with incredible speed...
............
The next time it appeared, it was standing in a desolate valley.
The valley was barren, with only cracked earth and decaying logs scattered about.
As soon as the man and the ape landed, a faint illusionary fluctuation quietly spread out, enveloping the entire valley like a thin veil.
"This is an illusion..."
With his mastery of multiple Sage Techniques and an immense chakra reserves, this level of genjutsu was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him, leaving his mind completely unmoved.
"Yes, I've fallen for it several times. The opponent's illusion abilities are terrifying."
Although the White Ape King beside him was affected by the illusion and his brow furrowed slightly, he could sense Wan Ci's steady aura beside him and was completely at ease, showing no fear.
"This is it, ten thousand times."
"Those strange crows were hiding inside. I felt this place was eerie, so I didn't dare to venture in."
The White Ape King raised his hand and pointed to the withered forest deep in the valley, lowering his voice slightly.
"Oh?"
Manji slightly narrowed his eyes, and pale blue Sage Chakra quietly spread out, his perception spreading out like a tide, completely enveloping the entire withered forest.
The next instant, Wanci lightly touched his chin with his fingertips, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"so...."
This withered forest is filled with an aura and energy that originates from the same source as the three great immortal lands, rich and unique.
"interesting."
He murmured to himself countless times.
He wondered to himself, could there be some unknown place in this world where immortal techniques are passed down?
This was exactly what he wanted. He was already searching for obscure powers in the Naruto world, and this power came to him uninvited.
Speaking of crows, I immediately think of Itachi Uchiha.
The original work does not tell us how Itachi Uchiha made a contract with the crow, or how he obtained the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror.
"White Ape King, you wait here while I go in and investigate."
Wanci turned his head and gave the order.
"Be extremely careful!"
"The atmosphere here is very strange. It looks a bit like the gloom of Ryuchi Cave, but not entirely. There are many hidden secrets here."
The White Ape King hurriedly gave instructions.
"Um."
Wan nodded slightly, and his figure darted towards the withered forest.
With his current strength, there are very few beings in this world who can truly threaten his life.
Even if something unexpected happens, he can simply start a new life. He already possesses the ability to be immortal and resurrected, so why would he be afraid of death?
In the White Ape King's sight, the moment Wanci stepped into the withered forest, he vanished as if he had merged into nothingness.
Inside a forest of dead trees.
Looking at the suddenly changing scenery around him, Manji's eyes flashed with understanding: "It's a barrier similar to Mount Myōboku, quite similar to the Summoning World."
Wanci walked slowly, taking only two steps.
An ancient stone tablet came into view, with four powerful ancient characters engraved on it: "Yata-gara no Chichi" (Eight-Foot Crow Land).
Wanci looked at the stone tablet, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
At that very moment, a dense surge of Sage Chakra suddenly appeared from the front, its size quite considerable.
“Gagaga—”
A series of hoarse crows suddenly rang out, black feathers fluttered, and a black streak of light emerged from the depths of the withered tree, slowly landing on the withered branch in front of Wanci.
It was a three-legged raven with jet-black feathers and crimson eyes, its body surrounded by faint Sage Chakra.
"Humans, finally humans have broken in..."
"Huh!? Wait, it's you?"
The three-legged crow, having clearly seen Wanci's appearance, suddenly narrowed its scarlet pupils and let out a cry of alarm.
Do you know me?
Wanci raised his eyes and calmly looked at the three-legged crow.
The three-legged crow quickly suppressed its surprise, flapped its wings, and said with a forced smile, "Hehe, of course we know each other!"
"Aren't you the renowned Sage of Six Paths? I never expected you to grace my humble abode with your presence. May I ask what brings you here?"
The crow laughed
No matter how many times, I won't hide anything; I'll get straight to the point:
"Your land of Yatagarasu must also hold a lineage of sage techniques, right? I'm quite interested in your lineage of sage techniques; why don't you tell me everything?"
Upon hearing this, the three-legged crow's expression changed instantly!
"Please forgive me, Immortal. The immortal techniques of my Yatagarasu are only passed down to those with a destined connection. They cannot be taught to just anyone. Please do not force me, Immortal."
"Otherwise, I fear it will damage my lifelong reputation, and I will perish in the Eight-Span Land. I urge you, Immortal, not to force yourself and invite trouble upon yourself."
The crow shook its head and said with a hint of threat.
"What if I insist on forcing it?"
Wanci's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air of dominance.
With his current strength, he could have easily obtained the Sage Technique inheritance of the Eight-Tailed Crow by force, but he would have used diplomacy first and then force.
Moreover, no one in the world dares to threaten him.
Even Yu Yi didn't dare.
Upon hearing this, the three-legged crow let out a strange laugh.
His crimson eyes were full of arrogance: "Immortal, if you want to learn my Yata no Senjutsu, the first thing you must do is to break all your defenses and willingly accept my Yata no Crow's illusion technique."
"If you, Sage of Six Paths, were to release your defenses and cease resisting, you would likely perish today under my Yata Genjutsu!"
Its voice was brimming with confidence, clearly indicating absolute certainty about its Yata Genjutsu, so arrogant as to believe it could kill the Sage of Six Paths.
After hearing it ten thousand times, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Strong? No matter how strong the illusions in this world are, can they be stronger than Infinite Tsukuyomi?
Besides, the worst-case scenario is death, but after being resurrected, one can fight again.
He chuckled softly, instantly withdrawing all his Sage Chakra and defenses, deliberately tearing away all barriers, allowing the dense genjutsu fluctuations to envelop him.
The next second, Wanci's consciousness was completely swallowed up, and he fell into a boundless ocean of illusions.
(The protagonist dies!)
(Haha, just kidding.)
