Chapter 630: Phase One, Completed!
Slowly, the dust settled, and in the horrified eyes of Tobirama and the others, the figure of Hashirama was revealed, the figure pierced and bound by the Chains of Heaven!
This had a huge impact on Tobirama and the others. In their minds, Hashirama was very strong, very strong. However, such a strong Hashirama was defeated by someone they had never seen before.
And it looks so easy.
In fact, the reason why Enkidu can act so easily is not because he is very strong, but because at his level, Hashirama is very weak.
Looking at all of Hashirama's moves, it can be clearly found that apart from the Sage Mode and Sealing Technique, there are almost no other stronger moves. Even the Sage Mode is only a superficial application, replacing chakra with Sage Chakra, that's all.
What he used more was the accumulation of quantity, such as the Birth of the Tree World, the Descent of the Flower Tree World, the Wooden Man Technique, and even the Thousands of Hands, which were just magnified versions of the Wooden Man Technique.
These moves are naturally invincible in ordinary battles, but when promoted to another level, they will find that they are powerless.
Just like the immortality of the "beasts" in the Moon World, if you don't remove this, they will truly be immortal and can be killed by God! (There are seven beasts in total, corresponding to the seven crowns)
Therefore, in Enkidu's view, this kind of attack with only a little power (magic) is really weak. The simple accumulation of numbers, if not supported by a strong basic force, is just a waste of his own strength.
Just like his fighting style, although he has a large number of Heavenly Chains, this is based on the fact that the power of each of his attacks is extremely strong, even comparable to the power of some weaker Noble Phantasms when they are released. This is also one of the reasons why he can be ranked alongside Gilgamesh.
Another thing is that Enkidu’s divinity is very high, which in reality has a very high bonus.
The last and most important point is that Enkidu has no job now!
Job classification is not necessarily a good thing for Heroic Spirits. Take King Arthur for example. He can use the Holy Sword in the Sword Class, but he cannot use the more powerful Holy Lance, and some related skills will be weakened as a result.
In other words, for some powerful and omnipotent Heroic Spirits, a job is just a shackle that binds them.
Therefore, when Enkidu signed the contract with Shiro again, no one knew what means he used, but although he was still a servant, he no longer had a job!
It's equivalent to a weakened version of the Heroic Spirit!
At this point, the outcome is decided!
At this time, the first stage of the ceremony on Shiro's side was also coming to an end. Most of the light beams had been separated from the residents of the Water Country, and only some of the light beams were still connected to the ninjas.
After all, compared to ordinary people, the chakra seeds in the bodies of ninjas who use chakra all year round are not so easy to remove, so naturally, it is more painful. However, Orochimaru is not so kind to help them relieve the pain.
To put it bluntly, the ninjas of this era are all scum!
Every one of them, including Konoha!
At the same time, the residents who first fainted slowly woke up. Although they still looked at the dense gray snakes in the sky with fear on their faces, their lives were not in danger.
Seeing this scene, Jiraiya's angry expression eased slightly. After waking up from the shock of Hashirama's defeat, he looked at Orochimaru with complicated eyes.
"Orochimaru, what are you doing?"
"What? Didn't we say before, to uncover the truth of the world? Jiraiya, we have been using chakra all the time, have you ever thought about where chakra comes from?"
Perhaps because the pressure had eased, Orochimaru was no longer concentrating on maintaining the technique like before, but instead devoted a little of his attention to talking with Jiraiya.
"Cellular Energy and Spirit"
"I'm asking where it comes from, not how it's produced. Jiraiya, have you ever thought about this question?"
"Where does it come from?" Jiraiya was stunned, lowered his head and muttered for a while, then looked at Orochimaru in confusion, "Is there any use in knowing this?"
"Of course there is!" Orochimaru's eyes were a little fanatical. "According to some historical records, about a thousand years ago, chakra did not exist in the ninja world. So how did chakra appear? What is the source?
There weren't even many supernatural powers at that time, so although there were wars then, their intensity was far lower than the current Ninja World War.
Tell me, if the Shodaime-sama's ninjutsu hadn't been blocked, but had been knocked down, what would have happened here?"
“.”
Hearing this, Jiraiya and the others fell silent. The Land of Water is just a small island country, and its land area may not even be as big as the big Buddha just now. If it is really conquered, the entire country may be gone.
"It seems you understand. All these changes occurred thousands of years ago! According to documents and relics, approximately a thousand years ago, the Goddess of the Rabbit brought chakra to this world, and then the Sage of Six Paths spread chakra, thus ushering in the age of ninjas and significantly increasing the intensity of war."
"So you believe chakra is the root of the war and intend to eradicate it?"
"No, no, no, Jiraiya, your thinking is too narrow. Shiro-kun is right. You are a good teacher and a good elder, but you are also an excellent ninja. The identity of a ninja has invisibly restricted your thinking.
What causes war is people's desires, and chakra is the power that infinitely amplifies people's desires. For example, if a small country suddenly has a strong man like the Shodaime, will they still be willing to live in a corner?
The answer is clear, but at the same time, if chakra is gone, other things will take its place. So removing chakra won't eradicate the root of war, or it simply isn't possible. We can only make the cycle of war last as long as possible, or try to ensure peace in the ninja world as much as possible."
"Your chakra extraction is related to the enemy of the Six Paths Sage, right?" At this time, Tobirama, who had been listening to Orochimaru's narration silently, suddenly spoke.
"I didn't expect that you, Lord Nidaime, also knew something about this." Orochimaru's eyes brightened slightly. He had never told Tobirama about this part of the information.
I didn't expect that research would get this far.
"It was just an unfounded conjecture, but it seems to be true."
"Yes, but we don't know who exactly they are or when they will come. What we are certain of is that their purpose is to collect chakra, not chakra seeds."
Jiraiya's eyes flashed. He was not stupid. After Orochimaru's explanation, he had realized the seriousness of the problem. The target was the chakra seed. From the current situation, it was not a big problem. But if it was the chakra seed,
When chakra is exhausted, people will die!
"So this is your plan? Have you ever thought about it? The resistance to this matter will be opposed by the entire ninja world!"
Orochimaru smiled slightly and turned to look at Jiraiya, "I just said that even without chakra, there will be something to replace it. We have already found it, and it can be guaranteed to not interfere with the world of ordinary people to a certain extent. The people in the village are easy to convince, but as for the other villages, they have no right to choose!"
This is indeed the case. When Konoha declared war on the Water Country, the other countries immediately focused their attention here. When Shiro started the ceremony to extract the chakra seeds, they were ready to send troops to provide assistance immediately!
However, they were unable to send reinforcements.
