Konoha starts from the root

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed quietly, and it was August 60 in Konoha.

······

"Dong dong dong."

Bai Ye, who was flipping through the information, suddenly heard a knock on the door, so he put down the information in his hand and said, "Come in."

With a "creak", the door was pushed open.

I saw a masked 'Gen' ninja walking in quickly, kneeling on one knee and saying: "Sir, I brought the things back."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and raised it above his head.

Seeing this, Bai Ye stepped forward and took the scroll.

After a little inspection to make sure there was nothing wrong, he said, "Go down."

"Yes."

The root ninja below responded and left, closing the door behind him.

After he left, Bai Ye opened the scroll and read it.

It contains research information about the spirit and soul.

Apparently, this is from Orochimaru.

In the past three months, he had made six transactions with Orochimaru, providing him with 30 experimental subjects in exchange for six pieces of information.

Judging from the content, it is almost the majority of Orochimaru's research results in related fields.

As for the remaining ones, they may be important to Orochimaru himself, but they are no longer needed for Baiye, because he has basically figured out the deep connection between the soul, body, spirit, and chakra.

Let’s talk about the origin of the soul first. Generally, at the beginning of the birth of a new life, as the body continues to develop and the spirit becomes active, the soul will naturally be conceived successfully.

For humans, this time is almost seven months into pregnancy.

Therefore, every newborn baby has a soul.

In essence, the soul is like a body of thoughts or consciousness.

Its gestation conditions are innately determined to integrate physical energy and spiritual energy.

If physical energy and mental energy are regarded as Yin and Yang Bagua, then the soul is both the bridge connecting them and the framework that restrains them.

Chakra is formed by the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy.

Therefore, the soul is also the source of chakra.

This can explain some of the characteristics of the S-level forbidden technique: Reincarnation in the Dirty Land.

After a ninja dies, it is not only his soul that goes to the Pure Land, but also the chakra attached to it.

Although reincarnation in the dirty land can bring a person's soul back to the present world, its essence still belongs to the pure land. Likewise, so does the chakra it belongs to.

Therefore, when the dirty earth body uses ninjutsu, the chakra consumed is actually borrowed from the pure land, and then the chakra will return to the pure land.

As a result, the dirty earth body possesses 'infinite' chakra.

Of course, since each ninja had different strengths during his lifetime, the amount of chakra attached to his soul was also different. Therefore, after the reincarnation, the 'upper limit' of chakra consumed every time he uses ninjutsu is also different.

After figuring this out, Baiye realized that the ninja world might not have had a place like the Pure Land a long time ago, because it was completely inconsistent with the interests of the ninja world itself.

If there is no Pure Land, the soul of a ninja will dissipate after death, and then the chakra attached to it will become rootless water, and then turn into the nutrients of the ninja world, promoting the growth of the world.

However, after the Pure Land was established, a large amount of chakra was plundered by it, which indirectly affected the present world, causing the overall combat power of the ninja world to show a clear downward trend.

Combining the memories of his previous life, Bai Ye guessed that the Pure Land was probably created by the Immortal of Six Paths.

As for the purpose, it is most likely to reserve combat power and establish the last line of defense for the ninja world.

This is not Bai Ye's random guess, but it has certain basis.

The Sage of Six Paths knew that his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki had used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create many biological weapons, and he knew what his mother seemed to be afraid of.

Therefore, he also had to be prepared just in case.

However, he could never accept turning living people into weapons, so he turned to dead people.

I have to say, this is a very good idea.

In addition, there is another evidence, that is, at the end of the Fourth Ninja War, the Six Paths Sage recalled the souls of the Five Shadows from the Pure Land back to the present world, and gathered everyone's strength to remove Uzumaki Naruto and others from Otsutsuki Kaguya's. The spirit came back from the space of Qiu Qiu.

Obviously, the Pure Land is not a place of reincarnation. Otherwise, the five shadows have been dead for such a long time, so why are they still there?

As for the reincarnation of the souls of Indra and Asura, Baiye believes that a more accurate term should be the reincarnation of Chakra, otherwise Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke, or Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Naruto, would not be reincarnated at the same time. Appear.

However, since Indra and Asura are the sons of the Six Paths Sage, their talents and potential are so powerful that even after death, the chakra left behind still has a very obvious personal imprint, which indirectly affects those who accept this power. Host, which caused them to fight endlessly.

From this point of view alone, Orochimaru is exactly like them.

Because Orochimaru's Heaven Curse Seal and Earth Curse Seal both contain his own chakra, and the spiritual energy contained in them is strong enough to affect the temperament of the recipient to a certain extent.

According to the four Sound Ninjas, the more they use this power, the more seriously they will be eroded. As for the result, of course, they will completely become Orochimaru's spiritual puppet.

In addition, when Orochimaru was resurrected by Sasuke, he could still easily absorb his own chakra from Kabuto Yakushi.

This also shows that everyone's chakra has a personal mark. The only difference is whether the mark is obvious or not.

Speaking of this, we must mention another of Bai Ye's research results, that is, the soul is unique.

In other words, everyone has one and only one soul. Other methods similar to splitting the soul are actually just separating a strand of will, or spiritual obsession.

For example, Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato hidden in Uzumaki Naruto are not souls, they are just a ray of will that exists with the help of chakra.

Likewise, there is the shadow clone technique created by Senju Tobirama.

Their common feature is that they will return to their only soul after being relieved.

Therefore, the shadow clone technique can accumulate experience. Namikaze Minato, who came out of the stomach of the god of death, knew the conversation between himself and Uzumaki Naruto without communicating.

Looking at Orochimaru again, when his hands were sealed by Sarutobi Hiruzen using the S-level forbidden technique: Ghoul Seal, he still could not recover even after reincarnation.

The main reason is that the Fuzo Reincarnation only swallows the spirit of the target, not the soul. Otherwise, after Uchiha Sasuke counterattacked Orochimaru, Orochimaru should have died completely.

But the fact is that although Sasuke gained a lot of knowledge and memories, he did not destroy Orochimaru's soul.

Later, Orochimaru's soul was sealed by Itachi Uchiha with the Ten Fist Sword.

The process of Sasuke resurrecting Orochimaru was not so much resurrecting him as it was using the connection between Mitarashi Anko's heavenly curse seal and Orochimaru to summon him back from the sealed illusion world.
