Such powerful creatures would naturally not be exterminated by humans, but the strange thing is that they disappeared quietly, and the reason is worth thinking about.

"The ninja world is actually not that big. The known range is just this small. The limits of this world are already very clear. But no one knows whether it was like this in the distant ancient times outside of human history. If the decline of natural energy causes the power level of the world to continue to decrease, then many things do have a reasonable explanation."

In this cramped world, with the five major human nations fighting each other, where is there room for other super-large intelligent creatures to survive?

Suppose that the ancient ninja world was not like this. The world was very, very big, and the power limit was much higher than it is now. However, as natural energy decreased, super-large creatures became extinct one after another, and only life that adapted to the environment could survive. The vast world began to become small, and groups with wisdom and strength began to save themselves, and shelters were built one after another.

However, after the world collapsed catastrophically, these shelters and the legendary creatures became extinct, and the survivors had to tremble in the remaining shelters, until an intelligent race took advantage of the situation and gave these survivors hope of reversing the decline - humans. The shelters that escaped by chance transformed themselves into the so-called holy land of spiritual beasts, sparing no effort to help humans and prevent another disaster from happening.

"Is this how humans came to be the most spiritual creatures in the world? It seems to make sense. The details still need to be verified, but do you think these so-called holy land spirit beasts know it so clearly?"

Shuimu shook his head: "They just instinctively seek benefits and avoid harm. Who knows if these guys still remember the original intention of establishing the so-called holy land? Even our guesses may not be accurate. Maybe they really are the embodiment of love and justice!"

"A bunch of pathetic losers who can only pin their hopes on humans, and occasionally do some harmless little things. No wonder Jiraiya said not to worry about them. Jiraiya may not see it so clearly, but he can tell by instinct that they will not harm humans for the time being."

"There's no need to laugh at them." Shuimu's original body said, "To be frank, humans are just one of the people living in this broken world. Their present may be our future."

…

After a long time, Mizuki returned to the stands. Inuzuka Kiba, still hungry, shamelessly asked Mizuki for food again.

"Mr. Mizuki, you ate so much by yourself?"

The main body and the clone, together with the eating and taking, did consume a lot. It is not wrong to say that Shuimu ate it all by himself.

Looking at the little food left in the small bamboo basket, Shuimu couldn't help but sigh.

If a sumptuous lunch is laid out neatly, everyone will know that they are the first to eat. But if it is a table full of leftovers, then it is impossible to judge how many people have patronized it and how much of the food has been eaten by others.

This is just like the ninja world where there is not much money left. No one knows how big and powerful this world used to be, and how many good things have been taken away by others.

Humanity succeeded once by chance in preventing the world from collapsing again, thanks to the Six Paths Sage and his brother Otsutsuki Hamura. This time, the people with the highest hopes are Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

"Destiny is such a misleading term."

Mizuki looked at Uchiha Sasuke who was struggling with Hyuga Neji below, and couldn't help but think of Uzumaki Naruto who was taken away by Jiraiya. These destinies that had been determined long ago have now deviated, so when will the "power of destiny" rebound to correct this mistake?

If humans fail this time, how many of the three sacred places of spiritual beasts will be left? What will be the fate of mankind? What species will be the next to dominate the world?

Mizuki glanced at Aburame Shino who was watching the game quietly not far away.

"Parasitic insects seem to be a good successor. They have collective intelligence, are small in size and more likely to survive, and have strong reproductive capacity. Perhaps they will really replace humans and become the spirit of all things."

Shaking his head, Shuimu dispelled these unrealistic fantasies and looked up at the sun which was already setting.

"The sky is about to collapse again. It has already crushed many tall people to death. This time it is the turn of humans. Can they hold on?"

In the face of a world-class trend, it is too difficult to recover. Even the Six Paths Sage failed to do so, and had to leave the troubles behind for a thousand years. Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki is successfully sealed three years later, what should she do next? Put the weapons into storage and let the horses go to the mountains?

"From this perspective, let's see how our predecessors did it..."

…

Hyuga Neji looked tiredly at Uchiha Sasuke who was panting not far away. At this point in the battle, Neji had realized that he was at a disadvantage. If he didn't make changes, he might really lose. But knowing is one thing, but doing is too difficult.

The Huitian Technique has been used twice and the Bagua Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms has been used once, but all failed. Several active attacks also had little effect, and instead wasted a lot of chakra and physical strength.

"I can't take any more risks, but if I keep going like this I'll lose sooner or later."

The only way to win is to restrict Sasuke's actions and drag him into the rhythm he is good at. But now, it is obvious that the opponent is taking the initiative, and Neji has no way to deal with it.

Not only that, Sasuke, who is good at throwing and manipulating ninja tools, has used too many kunai and shuriken, all of which are connected with tough steel wires. In front of the soft fist and the white eyes, they did not have much effect, but...

Ningji looked at the ground filled with hidden weapons and crisscrossed steel wires with some uneasiness, and had a bad feeling.

"Did you notice it? But it's too late."

Holding the steel wire in both hands, the Chidori Flow in his hands flickered and spread along the steel wire to all the affected areas.

With nowhere to put his feet, Neji stepped on the tightrope helplessly and was hit by Chidori Flow without any suspense.

"My body is paralyzed and I can't move."

Realizing that something was wrong, Neji caught a glimpse of Sasuke speeding towards him. In desperation, he mobilized his chakra and released it instantly from the acupuncture points all over his body. A large amount of chakra formed a dense protective layer, forcing the Chidori Flow away from his body.

"Soft fist technique, one strike to the body."

This ninjutsu consumes a lot of chakra and is an emergency boxing technique for when in crisis. It cannot be used too often.

Although we have escaped from the predicament, the danger still exists.

"Soft boxing technique - Baguazhang returns the sky!"

The spinning body created a chakra whirlwind, which made Sasuke's thrusts ineffective...
