Chapter 488: Pure Land of Bliss!
In a gray sky and earth, the gray wind kept whistling, and a hint of vitality was felt. Suddenly, the gray airflow in the air was turbulent, and Shilang's figure emerged from it, bringing new colors to this gray world.
Sadly, even with the new colors, there's still silence.
To be honest, this kind of environment is still very rare. When Shilang came here for the first time, he stayed here for half a day before going to other places. In addition to collecting data, watching this shocking scene was also one of the important reasons.
Of course, Shi Lang is now used to it. He has seen so many ghosts and monsters that he is used to it.
Thinking of this, Shiro, standing in the air, shook his head, retracted his thoughts that were flying around again, opened the automatic journal he got from Kakashi, and released Sakumo and Lin.
"Shiro, is this the netherworld?" As soon as Sakumo came out, he was shocked by this gray and dead world, just like Shiro who entered here for the first time.
The same was true for Lin on the other side. Although they both died, strictly speaking, they had never really entered the underworld. Instead, they had been staying in the passage where they could view the real world, that is, the campfire.
"Well, I guess so. This is the underworld, the junction of what you call the Pure Land and the passage you were in. There are no living or dead here, so it's so dead and silent."
Upon hearing this, a glint of understanding flashed in Shuomao and Lin's eyes. They were somewhat confused about the situation at the time, and now they finally knew roughly what the reason was.
However, unlike Sakumo, after hearing Shiro's words, Lin had a new doubt in her mind. What is the "Pure Land" you are talking about? Isn't that what the Ninja World calls it? But the term "Underworld" seems to have no record at all.
Recalling what the black guy said when she was "watching" Obito, Lin had some guesses in her mind, but after experiencing so many things, she had grown a little and knew that it was not a good idea to ask Shiro about such things.
She could sense that Shirou had no good feelings towards Obito at the moment and there was absolutely no way he could be saved. Therefore, in order to avoid this, Rin buried this matter, along with some of the previous information, deep in her heart.
"So, are we going to go into the Pure Underworld to find Souji? Or should we go through that special passage?"
Sakumo on the side didn't have any ideas. He had already had guesses about Shiro, but he no longer cared about them. As long as Shiro didn't harm Konoha, he would respect Shiro's decision.
"Let's go to the Pure Land first and solve your hidden dangers first. As for Souji, he still has a mission."
Sakumo frowned. "A mission? You knew he would die?"
"Ha, don't think so badly of me. Souji is still my student after all. I just told them about the resurrection possibility so that if they die in the future, they can help me verify an idea. I don't trust other people."
As he spoke, Shiro pushed aside the gray fog around him and floated towards the depths of the dead world. Sakumo and Lin looked at each other and followed him silently.
The two did not ask about the hidden dangers that Shilang mentioned, because they felt that he probably wouldn't understand. They had been shocked enough today, so they decided to ask about this later.
In this way, one person and two souls slowly drifted in this gray world. There was no other sound except the sound of Shilang's clothes rubbing against each other. It was completely unlike the transition area that Shilang had mentioned.
After all, even if it is a transitional area, there should always be souls leaving the fire. If one can directly enter the underworld from there, then there is no need for this place to exist at all!
Unfortunately, neither of them knew about this, and they didn't even know how to ask.
After a while, the three people with different thoughts saw their eyes light up, and a sunny, spring-flowered world, completely different from the gray ghost cave, appeared in front of them. Compared with the gray ghost cave just now, this place was simply heaven!
"Shiro, this is the Pure Land?"
"Yes, this is the real underworld, the Pure Land of Bliss." As he spoke, a strange look flashed in Shiro's eyes.
Everything has two sides.
This is something Shiro had learned in his previous life, but in this life, when he saw the underworld, he had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
While the sacred tree brought war to the ninja world, it also made some structures of this world better.
Like the underworld.
There is a reason why this place is called the Pure Land of Bliss. Just based on the scene of spring flowers blooming and the four seasons being like spring, let alone compared with the underworld in other worlds, it is even compared with the real world of Naruto.
It also deserves the name of Pure Land!
On the other hand, Type-Moon's underworld is truly the underworld, and the environments of the two are really incomparable.
The only thing that is better than the ninja world is probably that the rules are more complete. Although the environment is not very good, at least you don’t have to worry about being easily summoned back to the world of the living and being driven around by others.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, Master, wait a moment, I'll do some cover-up first." After being reminded by Sakumo, Shiro shook his head, came back to his senses, activated some spells on the automatic journal, and completely covered up the breath of one person and two souls.
"Shiro, what is this..." Sakumo and Lin looked down at the blue light coming out of their bodies and looked at Shiro in confusion.
"This is a concealing technique. We are not coming to the Pure Land to do anything good, so it's better to keep a low profile." As he said this, Shiro and the two ghosts continued to float slowly towards the Pure Land.
"It's not a good thing? We are not here to save you. Hmm~ It's indeed not a good thing!" Shuomao was about to ask why it was not a good thing, but halfway through his words, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized.
They come here to save people, which is naturally a good thing for them, but for the underworld, that may not be the case. Birth, aging, sickness and death are natural phenomena.
And their behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to the underworld!
After all, he didn't believe that such a "harmonious" world of the dead was formed naturally, so he didn't continue talking, but silently followed Shilang in this underworld.
As they went deeper into the underworld, a question gradually came to the minds of Shumao and Lin.
No ninjas!
Not a single ninja!
This situation is absolutely abnormal. Due to the special nature of ninjas, no matter how difficult the world is, the first ones to cause chaos will definitely be ninjas!
Although it is not possible to say that more people died than civilians, it is impossible that there were no casualties.
Thinking of this, Lin and Sakumo glanced at the calm Shiro at the same time, realizing that he should know something, but they wisely did not ask.
By now, they have almost understood that the water here is very deep, otherwise why would Shilang ask them to come to the underworld to eliminate the hidden danger?
In this way, the man and the two ghosts once again swam around the Pure Land with their own thoughts, and then wandered out. During this process, Shilang achieved his goal silently and successfully helped Lin and Sakumo eliminate the hidden danger.
Although Sakumo and the others didn't understand when and how Shiro did it, it didn't prevent them from being aware of their own condition.
After leaving the underworld, which is the pure land, the two could clearly feel that they seemed to have become complete!
This is a very wonderful experience, because they have never felt that they are incomplete before, and this "complete" state does not seem to have any effect on them, it is just a momentary pleasure.
Apart from that, there was nothing else. The speed of thinking, chakra, and even the more mysterious understanding, all remained unchanged, as if the pleasure just now was just an illusion.
This time, Lin finally couldn't help it. Although she was more calm after dying once, she was still a little girl after all, and her character was not as good as Sakumo's.
Hesitantly, he said, "Brother Shilang, does that thing you mentioned have any effect?"
"Good question!" Shiro praised, then spread his hands, "I don't know either."
"Eh?" x 2
This time, even Shuomao looked at him in surprise.
Looking at the two people in surprise, Shilang smiled bitterly. "I say, you don't really think I know everything, do you? Regarding this, I only know that it is very important to you. As for how important it is, I don't know. I haven't figured it out yet. What specific function it has, we'll have to wait and find out."
Silang did not lie to them. To solve this problem, they had to come to the Pure Land. However, this place was special and different from the ghost den just now. He could not come here often, so this problem remained hanging.
Shuomao thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Is that so? Then how do we cooperate with you?"
"That's not necessary. Master and Lin, you should continue to do what you need to do. I have a spell in the automatic journal that will record the data. If there is any abnormality on your part, I will be the first to sense it."
"Automatic Secretary?" Sakumo murmured, then raised his head and said with relief, "Thank you, Shiro, for spending so much time and effort on Kakashi and taking on the responsibilities that an incompetent father like me should have."
"Tsk, who cares whether he lives or dies? I just want to make it easier to collect intelligence. Let's go. Don't let Souji wait too long." After saying that, Shiro walked straight forward.
Seeing Shiro's rare childish behavior, Sakumo smiled, shook his head, and followed him without taking his words to heart.
However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Lin took these words into her ears and remembered some data recorded in the automatic journal. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she followed silently without saying anything.
I don't know if it was because I was embarrassed to show my childish side in front of Sakumo before, or because I didn't need to prepare some things, or because I was really worried about Souji, but this trip was unusually fast.
Before Sakumo and Lin could react, Shiro had already fished out Souji who was in the special passage.
It's not as difficult as Shiro said.
Of course, what they didn't know was that a big reason for this was that Shiro was very well prepared, and the difficulty came for those who were not prepared at all to rescue the people.
That's only a few levels lower than looking for a needle in a haystack, it's just looking for a needle in a large lake!
It would be much easier for someone like Souji who has prepared everything, probably just as easy as picking up the skewers from the tank.
After rescuing Souji, without waiting for him to say anything, Shiro waved his hand and directly put Souji, who was hesitant to speak, and Sakumo and the others into the automatic secretary, then instantly opened the door to the real world and walked in.
Before leaving, Shiro looked back in the direction of the Pure Land, and an inexplicable smile flashed across his lips.
"The Pure Land of Bliss is much more complete than the last time. He truly is worthy of being the Sage of Six Paths. It's a shame, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, there's nothing more dangerous than that."
