[Ninja Sect? Wait... if it's the leader of the second generation of Ninja Sect, isn't it...

the Ninja Sect you're talking about and the Ninja Sect I'm thinking of, are they really the same thing?] Guan Liyuan said in shock.

Ninja Sect is the "power" created by the Six Paths Sage, and it's also an "organization".

Modern ninjas generally believe that it was the Six Paths Sage who created ninjutsu and chakra, but in fact the Six Paths Sage himself does not recognize "ninjutsu" because his "Ninja Sect" is a power that enables people to understand each other...

Although this power is also chakra in essence, its function is completely different from that of "ninjutsu" used as a weapon.

As for how the Six Paths Sage used chakra as a bridge for mutual understanding between people, Guan Liyuan was not clear.

It's just that from the fact that the Six Paths Sage later handed over the position of "Ninja Sect Leader" to his second son Ashura, it can be seen that the "Ninja Sect" is not only a power, but also an organization!

This later became the fuse for Ashura and Indra to turn against each other...

If the Shinobi Sect was an organization founded by the Six Paths Sage, and the first leader was the Six Paths Sage, then wouldn't the second leader be... Ashura?

Was there a third leader after that?

[Yes, it is the "Shinobi Sect" founded by the Six Paths Sage! ] Zero Tail... No, the Heart of the Shinobi Sect said proudly.

[Have you heard of the "Heart of the Shinobi Sect"? ] Guan Liyuan asked the other tailed beasts.

[I don't know. After we just split up, except for Kurama who followed Ashura for a while, we were all in the growth stage at that time and rarely appeared in the world.]

[By the time our power matured, the Shinobi Sect had been destroyed. ] The tailed beasts said.

Only Kurama looked at the "Heart of the Shinobi Sect" carefully again... Guan Liyuan suddenly remembered that Kurama had also mentioned the power of "dark chakra" before, which gave it some familiarity.

But "dark chakra"... this kind of power that uses human "despair" as its source, how can it be related to the Shinobi Sect?

[Are you lying? Ashura opened your wisdom? He doesn't seem like someone who would use the negative emotions of his peers to increase his strength! 】 Isobu questioned on behalf of Guan Liyuan.

【Of course not! The fundamental purpose of my creation was for Ashura-sama to accumulate strength in order to bring the "Ninja Sect" into a new era and to prevent "accidents" from happening... It's just that some accidents happened later... I didn't want to use negative emotions myself! It made me look so ugly! 】 The Heart of the Ninja Sect said excitedly.

【Don't worry, you can talk slowly if you want...】 Guan Liyuan saw that the big meat worm who called himself "The Heart of the Ninja Sect" was starting to throw a tantrum and looked a little disgusting, and couldn't help but persuade him.

At the same time, he was also a little curious about what the "Heart of the Ninja Sect" said.

After the Heart of the Ninja Clan calmed down, he spoke: [A long, long time ago... I don't know how long it was... I regained consciousness and saw Lord Ashura...]

The Six Paths Sage saw the new direction of the "Ninja Clan" from Ashura's way of survival, so he separated the Ten Tails from his body, split it into nine tailed beasts, and passed it to Ashura. He died in weakness after the tailed beasts were extracted.

However, Ashura's brother Indra was dissatisfied with his younger brother inheriting the Ninja Clan, and a conflict eventually broke out. The final result was that Ashura won with difficulty and killed Indra, but he died soon after due to his serious injuries.

However, from the "Heart of the Ninja Clan", Guan Liyuan learned some more specific things... such as Ashura's power!

The main reason why Ashura and Indra, as two brothers, have completely different outlooks on life is that their talents are completely different.

Indra, the elder brother, was born with a strong eye power and was called a genius. In life, he gradually realized that he was different from others and was extremely confident in his own strength...

But his younger brother Ashura did not have his elder brother's talent, so he realized that in order to catch up with his elder brother, he needed the help of others in addition to his own efforts, and there were more and more companions around him.

In the end, Ashura made the chakra in his body blossom and bear fruit, and he had the strength no less than Indra...

This is also explained in the original anime, but when Guan Liyuan saw this explanation at the beginning, he felt a sense of disobedience!

The younger brother Ashura realized that he needed the help of others, so he had the strength no less than Indra?

Is there any connection between the two? If the before and after is really a causal relationship, shouldn't it be Ashura who led a group to beat Indra in the end?

Realizing his own shortcomings, he began to have more and more companions... But then he did not cooperate with his companions, but because he had companions, his shortcomings disappeared, and the chakra of the body blossomed and bore fruit?

What is the connection between the increase of companions and the awakening of physical strength?

Is Ashura practicing the "art of collecting and replenishing"? Then the new additions are not companions, but running friends, right? What "new possibilities" did the Six Paths Sage see? There are too many complaints!

However, the words of the "Heart of the Ninja Sect" now give Guan Liyuan a new perspective...

Asura realized how to use the trust, bond, and mutual dependence between companions to stimulate the strength of the body, so as his companions increase, Asura also has the body of a sage. The

nature of the "Heart of the Ninja Sect" is similar to the transformation method that Asura realized from it, and can be regarded as the engine that "converts human emotions into power"!

Asura hopes that even other people who do not have the genes of the body of a sage can use this power, so there is the "Heart of the Ninja Sect"...

Simply put, ordinary people do not have the genes of the Six Paths Sage, and cannot have obvious body refining effects like Asura, or even eventually awaken the body of a sage, so they made a converter to convert this energy into mechanical energy so that everyone can use it. In fact, in terms

of concept, it is similar to the chakra armor and the "chakra production tool" being developed by the Northern Alliance.

However, before Ashura's plan was realized, Indra had already turned against him. After a fierce battle between the two, Ashura had no time to complete his plan, and only had time to complete the "core".

After the death of Ashura, the second-generation leader of the Ninja Clan, more and more people in the world began to wonder who was right, Ashura or Indra? Or were they both wrong?

The prestige of the third generation, who inherited the position of the leader of the Ninja Clan, was no longer enough to convince the world. Humanity also entered an era of endless wars, and ninjutsu gradually appeared...

As the war intensified, personal power that could directly protect oneself and the people around him became more important, and the result of superstition about personal power would lead to the intensification of war.

Seeing the ninja world in a vicious cycle and constant war, the third generation leader restarted the "Heart of the Ninja Clan" plan, hoping to start from a city and gradually restore order to the ninja world.

However, because the third generation leader did not know much about this power, the "Heart of the Ninja Clan" that was finally completed could not only transform the bond and trust between companions into energy, but also absorb and transform human despair and hatred...

And no matter what era, it is obviously easier to obtain "despair" and "hatred" than to obtain "bonds" and "trust"!

Especially in the era of that time, despair and hatred were everywhere...

The third generation leader, who was eager to gain strength, did not realize that there was anything wrong with this. While absorbing the power transformed from despair and hatred, he wanted to end despair and hatred.

However, the power brought by the dark side of humanity also affected the spirit of the third generation leader unknowingly, and eventually became completely opposite to his original ideal. Despair and hatred not only devoured the third generation leader and his companions, but also almost destroyed the ninja world.

The only thing the Third-generation leader could do was to sink the "Heart of the Ninja Clan" and the Sky Castle, which were also greatly affected, into the ground with his last bit of rationality, so as to prevent them from continuing to absorb negative emotions.

However, he himself had become a monster that fed on negative emotions...

In the end, the humans in the war united together and sealed the Third-generation leader who had gone berserk, and the Ninja Clan completely disappeared...

Objectively speaking, the Third-generation leader did temporarily slow down the chaos in the Ninja World, because they joined forces to stop the Third-generation leader's runaway behavior, and the heavy casualties in this battle made the Ninja World stable for a while, and people no longer fought alone or in groups of three or five, and gradually "families" with blood ties as the bond began to appear.

While cultivating this life, the countdown to the opening of the Warring States Period began...
