Destiny's Child
Sitting on a wooden bench, Madara frowned.
Because he lost the Heretic Golem, his body is now very weak and he even has to lean on something to sit firmly.
But given his personality, even if he needs something to lean on, it won't be an ordinary crutch.
What he used to support his body was a black scythe, and coupled with his wrinkled face, he really looked a bit like the legendary God of Death.
He had heard about the Child of Destiny. According to Bai Zetsu's report, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha, has been looking for the so-called Child of Destiny. For Madara, who had all been destroyed, the so-called Child of Destiny was nothing but an illusory thing.
but…
Destiny's Child... Uchiha Madara...
For some reason, he actually had a trace of expectation for the arrival of the man in white robe.
"Bring him in."
He ordered slowly
"He seems to have come in on his own..." Bai Juehui reported. He raised his head and looked at the top. He saw no movement, but the man in white robe walked through the bottom floor as if walking on the ground and walked down.
"Hmph... Originally I didn't have any intention of blocking him with just one layer of land..." Uchiha Madara waved his hand with great effort, signaling Bai Zetsu to retreat. Although the latter was very jumpy, he did not dare to do so in front of Madara. , and quickly obeyed the order and stayed away from here.
"You seem to know something about me."
As soon as he came up, he asked the man in white robe a question
As a strong man with high aspirations and high practical ability, he is confident that his hidden abilities are not weak. Otherwise, the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and his younger brother, Senju Tobirama, would not have been able to successfully fake death. You must know that the latter had conducted a lot of research on Uchiha, but he was still successfully deceived by him.
But the man in white robe in front of him seemed to know him well, which made him feel inexplicably unhappy.
He hates this kind of unknown, hates it very much...
"I said, it is fate that guides me, and fate knows everything..."
The man in white robe replied mysteriously
"Destiny? Do you believe in the existence of that kind of thing?"
Uchiha Madara was very disdainful. He had a certain understanding of the three holy places in the ninja world. After all, he was also very interested in the power of senjutsu. In the process of exploring the information, he naturally also became aware of the theory of destiny spread in Miaomu Mountain.
"If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, then it doesn't exist."
Naoto chuckled and said, "Destiny is also a kind of rule. If you are strong enough, you can also make it."
"Listen to what you mean... Was your destiny to find me determined by someone else?"
"You can understand it that way, after all, to a certain extent, we are the same."
"Appreciate further details… "
After realizing that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions, Madara also softened his previous cold attitude. He had a vague feeling that the man in white robe was a friend rather than an enemy.
"Ha..." Naoto casually found a place to sit down. The golden mask faintly emitted a sacred light in the dark cave, making the gap between life and death look a little more mysterious.
"Where do you want to say this?" He held his chin with his hands and made the classic gesture of Commander-in-Chief Ikari Yuantang.
"To make it clearer to you, I'll start from the very beginning, but this history may be different from what you know..."
"At the beginning of this world, there were no ninjas, no wizards, and no demons..."
A secret buried in the deepest part of the ninja world came from his mouth. "The world at that time was still alternately dominated by heat and extreme cold. The earth was covered with lava and poisonous gas. That was when this planet was born, even life Neither is allowed to exist, the most primitive gesture."
Uchiha Madara was unmoved on the surface, but in fact, there were waves in his heart. He did not expect that what the man in white robe was going to say would actually involve the birthplace of the planet!
You must know that the lifespan of the planet is not comparable to that of any living thing. Compared with such a great planet, the immortals and the devils... are just scraps and insignificant things.
Compared with the earth with a history of billions of years, thousands and thousands of years are just a snap of the fingers, far beyond what humans can understand...
"But somehow, this planet still gave birth to strange life. In this hell that normal creatures cannot tolerate, several big trees rose from the ground. This was the earliest life in the world, and it was later The creature is called the tree of life."
"The Tree of Life...and later...creatures...?"
Naoto's words echoed in Madara's mind, and a familiar feeling arose spontaneously. He always felt that he had seen this setting somewhere before...
"Yes, tens of millions of years after the birth of these trees of life, other primitive creatures appeared, and not long after they appeared, the tree of life finally ended its long growth period and bore fruit..."
"Sacred tree..."
Madara murmured
He suddenly realized, could this so-called tree of life be the legendary sacred tree
According to legend, there was a sacred tree that had been handed down from ancient times in the era of the Six Paths Sage, and its condensed fruit was swallowed by a woman, thus gaining extraordinary power to quell the war. This woman Also known as the goddess of eggs.
Even the end of his plan is to create a sacred tree through the infinite moon reading and the birth of the sacred tree world, so he has a certain understanding of its nature.
And the tree of life that this person is talking about now...could it be somehow related to the sacred tree
"You're right… "
The words that came out of Naoto's mouth confirmed Madara's suspicion, and he continued to speak in an ethereal voice.
"The sacred tree... is one of the trees of life."
"In the distant ancient times, all living creatures were weak and ignorant. They called the place where they lived the Garden of Eden and the fruits of the sacred tree as the forbidden fruit. They believed that once they ate the fruits, they would bring Come disaster.”
"This statement makes sense, because in the early days, although people were ignorant, everything was in chaos and they could understand each other, so there were never disputes. People lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived peacefully..."
"But taboos will be broken sooner or later... After an unknown amount of time, some creatures got together. They wanted to eat the tempting fruits produced by the Tree of Life..."
Madara held his breath and listened carefully to the man in white robe. Fortunately, the man in white robe did not pretend to be mysterious, but told what happened without reservation.
"They ate most of the fruits, but they didn't know that one of the fruits was different from the others..."
"different?"
"Yes, the fruit that has absorbed the essence of the planet possesses incredible magic power. It contains the wisdom fruit that gives wisdom and the life fruit that gives strength... One of the creatures swallowed the wisdom fruit, and the remaining creatures swallowed The fruit of life…”
"From then on, the creatures that swallowed the Fruit of Wisdom slowly reproduced, and they are the creatures that exist in the Ninja World today... Humans are also one of them... And those creatures that swallowed the Fruit of Life, we call them …”
"apostle!"
