I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 163 163. Blurring the Boundary between Life and Death

After listening to Ashina Uzumaki's detailed introduction to the precautions, Naruto formed a seal with his hands and unlocked the art of reincarnation in the dirty earth.

Feeling that the connection between himself and Naruto was gradually weakening, Uzumaki Ashina also unlocked the sealing technique on himself, and the already broken earth body began to collapse step by step.

Soon, with the appearance of a white light, Uzumaki Ashina's soul began to rise rapidly into the sky.

Naruto stared closely at the white light in the sky. If he guessed correctly, it was the passage to the Pure Land and the bridge to the world of the dead.

Just when Naruto wanted to observe further, Uzumaki Ashina's aura had completely disappeared.

Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, Naruto waited for the passage of time. According to the agreement between him and the old patriarch, he would use the art of reincarnation in half a day to summon the soul of the old patriarch to the ninja world.

While waiting, Naruto couldn't help but think about what kind of existence the Pure Land was.

Although he had suspected that the existence of the Pure Land was related to the sacred tree a long time ago, the speculation was just a guess after all, and the specific results would not be known until the old patriarch returned.

In addition to the Pure Land, there are many more strange objects in the ninja world that are suspected to be related to the sacred tree.

For example, the dragon veins possessed by the ancient Loulan Kingdom in the Desert of the Land of Wind have the ability to go back in time, allowing the original Naruto to meet Namikaze Minato who had not yet become Hokage, and together they defeated the Sand Ninja who was trying to change the past.

Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Namikaze Minato in the sealed space and frowned secretly.

Will Minato Namikaze, the chakra clone, know information about the future? After using the dragon vein to travel, will it be the past of this world or the past of a parallel world?

No longer thinking about it, Naruto began to practice taijutsu to pass the time. His taijutsu was still too weak compared to opponents of the same level.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.

After randomly finding a sacrifice from the warehouse and arranging the formation, Naruto used the art of reincarnation from dirty soil and began to locate the old patriarch through DNA.

But this time the positioning failed, which made Naruto frown.

There are three steps in the reincarnation of the dirty land: finding the soul of the deceased, channeling it to the ninja world, and finally stuffing it into the sacrifice and using the curse seal to control it.

After repeated attempts several times, Naruto could not bring the old clan leader to the ninja world.

This made him begin to wonder if something had happened to the old patriarch. But there would also be dangers in the Pure Land, or was it that the owner of the Pure Land did not want them to explore the Pure Land?

In the next few days, Naruto tried to use the dirt reincarnation technique several times.

It wasn't until noon a week later that Naruto locked onto the soul of the old clan leader and successfully performed the art of reincarnation in the dirty earth, allowing the soul of the old clan leader to descend on the sacrifice Bai Jue.

Uzumaki Ashina glanced at Naruto and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me impatiently? Didn't I just stay in the Pure Land for a few more minutes?"

How many minutes?

Naruto found the bright spot and immediately asked: "Did the old patriarch gain anything from this investigation? Have you encountered other souls? Is there order and rules in the Pure Land?"

Uzumaki Ashina thought for a moment and then said: "After returning to the Pure Land this time, I sensed many powerful souls, but no matter how I moved, I couldn't get close to them, and my senses were sometimes weak and sometimes strong. It seems that the position between us is Constantly changing..."

After hearing Uzumaki Ashina's information, Naruto fell into deep thought, and then told the former the truth:

"Old Patriarch, you said that you only investigated in the Pure Land for a short period of time, but a week has passed in the Ninja World. I suspect that the speed of time in the Pure Land is different from that in the Ninja World. In other words, the Pure Land has no concept of time at all."

Uzumaki Ashina touched his chin and said with a smile: "You are right, I really have no concept of time in the Pure Land, but this is the world of the dead after all, and it is very normal to be different from the ninja world."

Naruto also nodded, then looked at the old patriarch and said: "Old patriarch, tell me the specific content of the experiment. I can't remember the content of the experiment..."

"Experimental content?"

Uzumaki Ashina was stunned for a moment, then stared at Naruto and said, "You boy, you are trying to trick me. Do you suspect that I am no longer me, but something else?"

Hearing this, Naruto chuckled and said: "This is just a necessary measure. After all, this is the world of the dead. You can never be too careful."

"That's true, but why are you so keen on investigating the Pure Land? For power?"

Uzumaki Ashina has always had this doubt. Naruto's strength is only weaker than Hashirama and Madara back then. There should be no one in the current ninja world who can be Naruto's opponent.

"Of course it's to guard against the art of reincarnation. I'm not the only one who can master this art."

Naruto originally planned to deal with it, but after thinking about it carefully, he still expressed his guess: "In addition, I also have a bold suspicion that you souls who live in the pure land and have the ability to think are really considered dead. Already?"

"Of course he's dead. Didn't you see my body?"

Uzumaki Ashina said with a strange look, and then remembered something: "You mean, my soul has not dissipated yet, but for most people, physical death is considered true death."

"If a strong man like me doesn't go to the Pure Land and forcibly stays in the ninja world, his soul won't be able to survive for a few days."

Naruto asked this question: "But what if you change a body before death? Will you be able to continue to live?"

"Maybe, but the ninja world probably doesn't have this technology now."

Naruto shook his head slightly, and then said: "The ninja world already has this technology, and some people have already achieved the replacement of the body and extended the life of the body."

In fact, there are ninjas in the ninja world who can change their bodies to maintain immortality.

One is Orochimaru who developed the immortal reincarnation, and the other is Scorpion who transformed himself into a chakra core. For these two people, as long as their souls are still there, they are almost immortal.

However, according to the old patriarch's investigation of the Pure Land, the Pure Land should be a different space that has no concept of time and is very friendly to the soul body, which can slow down the dissipation of the soul.

This may be one of the reasons why the Six Paths Sage has always stayed in the Pure Land.

After all, for such six-level powerhouses, the boundaries between life and death have become extremely blurred. As long as their power does not dissipate, they can live forever.

While Naruto was thinking, Uzumaki Ashina was thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Uzumaki Ashina seemed to have made a major decision, and sighed softly and said:

"Naruto, are you studying the Pure Land to resurrect the dead? I won't stop you, but you must not resurrect me. Living too long is not a good thing, and the same is true for resurrecting the dead. The boundaries between life and death cannot be blurred."
