Naruto: I take the system through time

The monkey statue faces inward, with its back facing the door. Its tail is curled up at its side, its hands are folded in front of its chest, and its head is buried deep in the ashtray.

The tattered curtains were blown by the draft, fluttering high in the hall, and the gauze feet brushed the monkey statue, as if comforting a crying child.

On both sides of the hall, solemn monks sit in rows and kneel. They are extremely pious, with their heads lowered and maintaining a unified posture to salute the monkey statue.

There were many people in the hall. Neji glanced around, but could not see any chakra flowing.

The monks' meridians were severely damaged, and their limbs were supported by small and slender black snakes. Their soft skin weathered into dry and hard bacon, and gradually became damp during the rainy days, showing wrinkles of different shades.

Chakra lines spread out from the ground. They emerged from all over the hall and gathered in the heart of the monkey statue in an orderly manner. The heart formed by chakra beat rhythmically like a real living heart.

"There is something underground that provides chakra to the monkey statue. This force is very powerful and should be the source of chakra that supports the actions of the living dead."

"Underground?

Can Bai Yan see where the secret passage is? "

"There is no secret passage."

"Hey! How did that underground thing get in?"

"Perhaps...it originally belonged to the underground. When Tsunade-senpai and I were traveling together, I once heard her talk about the mountain god worship culture in the Kingdom of Fruit. This culture evolved from the custom of abandoning the elderly.

The Country of Fruit is covered with mountains and deep ravines, and the local people are isolated from each other, and their material and cultural development is slow, so they have been in poverty for a long time.

In order to continue the line of descendants, some people began to promote the culture of mountain gods. The eldest son of the family carried the old man with a white head to Nariming Mountain. The old man became the apostle of the mountain gods and never went down the mountain again.

Legend has it that the first person who proposed the culture of worshiping mountain gods felt guilty, so he gathered young people from the tribe to secretly build a temple. There is a 'heart of filial piety' buried at the bottom of the temple, which absorbs the chakra of every old man who goes up the mountain, leaving traces of their existence. .

After the deed was completed, they blocked the road leading to the underground, so that this 'filial piety' that had never seen the light of day would disappear forever in the eyes of future generations. "

Yukari looked at Neji intently and was deeply touched by his words.

"So the living dead being controlled now are all the descendants of those abandoned old men?"

"People in the Kingdom of Fruit don't like to communicate with the outside world. Very few people venture into the outside world. Almost all the living dead we encountered along the way are the descendants of these old men.

However, these chakras of the dead do not intentionally harm the living. On the contrary, they are fighting against a ball of black chakra and trying to protect the living. "

Yukari understood that the black chakra was the evil chakra controlled by Kabuto. It was this evil chakra that enveloped the chakra of the deceased, turning their power to protect future generations into a sharp blade that harmed their loved ones.

"So as long as we cut off the connection between the underground chakra line and the monkey statue, we can stop this chaos of the living dead."

Neji nodded. Logically speaking, this was the case. It was precisely because there was a steady stream of chakra underground that provided energy for the monkey statue. The monkey statue could keep the heart beating every second.

Dirty black air emanates from the monkey statue, infecting the snakes squirming on the ground. If they penetrate into the human body, they can turn people into living dead.

Yukari and Neji moved quickly and flashed into the main hall in the blink of an eye. Dense black snakes covered the lotus platform. The part spread on the ground moved quickly, baring its fangs and ejected towards Yukari and the two.

The lightsaber flew in all directions instantly, and the white light suddenly illuminated the hall. The black snakes were broken into pieces in this dazzling light, and they all smashed to the ground.
