Chapter 222 The Weak World

Jiraiya also looked at Mizuki thoughtfully, sighed and said: "Fate, no matter what attitude you use to face it, be it disdain, reverence or indifference, but when it comes, it will always let you You feel the impermanence and elusiveness of the world, and in the end we are all in the grip of fate."

It seems that those who have reached a certain level of power will have to face this problem in the end. Although Mizuki has not yet fully realized the power of "fate", it is time to think about it.

For Jiraiya, "fate" and "prophecy" have been entangled with him for decades, and his understanding of them is definitely not comparable to that of Mizuki.

Seeing that Zilai seemed to be a little emotional, Mizuki asked: "Sentimental, it doesn't seem like Master Ziraiya's style, does it?"

"Well..." Jilai also seemed to recall some past events: "Some are Da Shewan's views. Originally, he also wanted to explore more on this road, but it is a pity that the chaos of war and death finally confused his mind. Let him forget our original intention."

"Oshemaru?" Mizuki felt relieved, it's not surprising that a proud man of this era has such insight, and no smart person would turn a blind eye to this.

"So, what exactly is this "fate"?"

Jiraiya shook his head and said: "The body is unknown, and I don't know what the existence that controls the direction of this world is. However, after reviewing the materials left by the second generation, Orochimaru came to a conclusion; that is the ninja world. The overall strength is constantly declining."

"The overall strength is declining?" Mizuki has never experienced this.

"Although due to the accumulation of ninja knowledge and technology, it seems that the ninja's combat power has not declined, but has increased, but this is just an illusion."

Zilai explained: "From the period of the Six Paths Sage, to the first generation of Hokage Senshoujujian, and now, you can clearly see that the strength of the top powerhouses has not only not improved, but has gradually declined."

"A single example cannot prove the trend of the entire ninja group?"

Jiraiya also sighed, and then said: "One thing you may not know is that the number of Konoha's jounin is much less than before, and their strength is also much inferior. If it weren't for Kakashi, If Kai and Asma are famous ninjas, Konoha, who is strong on the outside but strong on the inside, will not be able to hold on long ago. Of course, it is also a good thing that you have emerged recently..."

"So serious?" Mizuki had asked about these things on the sidelines, but Tsunade did not respond on the grounds of confidentiality, but he didn't expect that the situation of incompleteness would be so bad.

"That's it." Jiraiya said with a headache, "Konoha fell into weakness, but he was still encouraging and supporting. After so many years after the third ninja battle, other ninja villages still did not take advantage of Konoha's weakness to invade. In addition to the skillful means of the third generation, an important reason is that the strength of other ninja villages is not as good as before."

"Is that so?" Mizuki realized something.

Just look at how strong Konoha was once, just look at Sakumo Hatake who committed suicide. One person is almost equal to half of Sand Hidden Village. His prestige is so great that even the "Sannin" cannot be compared with him. Others, such as the fourth generation of Namami Fengshuimen, and the Uchiha family represented by the younger "Shinshin Shisui", but all of these have long since become a thing of the past.

Such a "collapsing" decline, combined with Sannin's defection or departure one after another, did not cause any major wars, and the balance was still maintained. It can only be said that the situation of other villages is not much better.

"So, what's the reason?" Since the strength of the ninja world is very likely to be declining, there must be a reason.

"We think that the problem may lie in Chakra." Jilai also gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.

"It can affect the entire ninja world. There is nothing else that can be done except Chakra throughout the entire world."

Mizuki also said with relief. The predecessors can notice this, which shows that their worries are not unfounded.

The group of ninjas rose up because of Chakra, and the source of the overall decline is likely to fall on Chakra.

"But this is difficult for us to prove." Jiraiya said with a headache, "There are many theories about the origin of Chakra, but no matter which one, the current structure of the ninja world cannot be bypassed by Sage of the Six Paths. Unfortunately, The information that has been handed down is not enough to confirm our guess."

Not to mention the handed down information, even Mizuki who knows better can't get the truth. Whether it's something wrong with Otsutsuki Kaguya's seal, or what Sage of the Six Paths did, is still in the thick of fog.

If we say that the overall decline of the ninja world was gradual in the past, then it has obviously stopped in the past ten years or so. Before the Child of Destiny and his companions grow up, there are really not many masters who can stand out.

"Over the past ten years, if there were any major changes, would it be him? 』

The most influential thing that Mizuki knows recently is undoubtedly Uchiha Madara's reincarnation eye, and then the psychic out of the shell of the sacred tree of the alien golem, and the alien golem eventually became the root of the turmoil in the ninja world.

"If Uchiha Madara accelerated this process, then the timing would be right. However, is this a coincidence? 』

"Hey, what did you think of?" Jiraiya saw that Mizuki was distracted, he couldn't help interrupting Mizuki's thinking.

"It's nothing." Mizuki smiled apologetically and asked, "If there is any existence that can absorb a large amount of chakra, will it reduce the power level of the ninja world?"

"Isn't this obvious? It definitely will." Jiraiya said: "Whether it's human chakra, fairy chakra, tailed beast chakra, or even natural energy, in essence, they are all the same thing. They are all a combination of spiritual will and vitality, but different chakras represent different lives."

"What does the natural energy represent?" Mizuki held back this question for a long time.

"Everything has animism. If you regard all existence in the world as flesh and blood, what's so strange about the birth of the natural energy that represents the world's will?"

"Since this is the case, what is the chakra that we humans and even intelligent high-level psychic beasts refine themselves? Aren't they all part of nature?"

Jiraiya also looked at Mizuki and replied seriously: "Since the world has given us wisdom and mastered Chakra, are human beings still willing to be as ignorant as the stones on the side of the road?"
