Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Chapter 341 The truth hidden by history

"Um"

Bai Mingyu was slightly startled. This question surprised him. He recalled what he had read in the history textbook compiled by Konoha, and then slowly responded: "The original history of the ninja world must be traced back. The time when Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja sect was almost a thousand years ago."

The world of Naruto does not have a unified calendar concept.

Almost every country and village uses different calendars to record history.

Just say Konoha.

Taking the year when the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha jointly founded Konoha as the first year of Konoha, this year will be the 55th year of Konoha. The other major ninja villages were established after Konoha was established, so the timeline is slightly later. For example, for Sunagakure Village, this year is the 54th year of Sunagakure.

As for before the first year of Konoha

It was the Warring States Period that lasted for hundreds of years.

During that time, various ninja families were divided into one family unit. Some families were attached to the aristocratic class of their respective countries and became armed forces under the command of the daimyo of various countries. Some simply created their own political power or country. It is common for various ninja clans and countries to attack each other and even perish. Even the current five major countries have grown and risen step by step amidst years of melee, and have established their status as an indestructible power.

In this case, there is no calendar at all.

Except for the big ninja clans like Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga, many small families have been destroyed with the changes of history, and even the genealogy cannot be found.

This was still the case during the Warring States Period,

The mythical period in which the Immortal of Six Paths lived is even more difficult to verify.

I only know that it was a long, long time ago. Most people don’t care how long this “long time” lasted. In addition, almost all the historical materials of that period have been lost. If you want to find out the specific year, even for professional historians. It's an impossible thing to say.

Therefore, in the later stages of Naruto's original work, most ninjas did not even know that Kaguya existed.

"More than a thousand years?"

After hearing Bai Mingyu's answer, the witch smiled and said lightly: "Almost, then, before that"

"What was the ninja world like before the Sage of Six Paths appeared?"

"that time"

Bai Mingyu narrowed his eyes slightly. Having read the plot of the original work, he certainly knew what the world was like before the appearance of the Sage of Six Paths. When Princess Kaguya came here from the sky, humans had been living on this continent for a long time, and even There is already the concept of a country, but ordinary people don't know what chakra is, so naturally there is no term for ninjutsu. As for the ninja world, it is even less possible to talk about it.

But

The three great immortal lands already exist.

At least the Great Toad Immortal of Mt. Myoboku was born before the Six Paths appeared.

Even the sage mode was taught to the sage of six paths by it.

So if there was no such thing as chakra during that period, what happened to the sage mode of the three great immortal lands?

Bai Mingyu was keenly aware of this contradiction.

The witch waited for a while, looked at his expression, and then continued: "Perhaps you don't know that the history of the continent under our feet can be traced back to a long, long time ago, even before the legendary Sage of Six Paths appeared. , it has existed for many years, giving birth to generations of human beings, as well as countless birds and beasts.

At that time, the profession of ninja did not exist in the world, and there was not even the existence of the five major countries. People in a place gathered spontaneously, farmed, worked, fished and hunted according to the agreed rules, forming a tribe, and then in the long history evolve into countries

In this process, a small number of humans discovered the energy hidden in their bodies and in nature. They gradually explored some techniques to temper their bodies and souls, and based on this, they developed many martial arts, sword skills, and magic techniques. They are collectively called samurai, and the latter are called miko. "

"warrior"

This title is easily reminiscent of another country in the ninja world.

Iron country.

Like the Kingdom of Demons, it also exists independently of the Ninja Sect and has a long history, and their armed forces are samurai who practice sword skills.

"Did you think of it? Yes, the samurai of the Iron Kingdom, like our miko lineage, can trace their origins back to before the emergence of the Ninja sect. However, after thousands of years of historical changes, the samurai lineage has been able to thrive and continue. So far, we have even established our own warrior country. As for our miko lineage, from the first generation of miko-sama to the present, I am afraid that only Shion and I are still alive on this continent."

The witch sighed quietly, with a hint of desolation in her tone.

Bai Mingyu didn't know whether he should say a few words of comfort for a moment.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

The miko didn't speak for a long time.

Bai Mingyu thought for a moment, then slowly spoke, breaking the silence: "You just talked about this continent."

Could it be that besides this continent where the five major ninja countries are located, there are other continents?

"Yes, there is more than one continent. Even the continent where the ninja world is located may be just a small corner of the world. Beyond the territories of the five major countries and various small countries, there is a vaster world. Even the continent closest to us is more than a month away from here. For a ninja, this period of time is enough for him to travel across the entire five major countries. And the degree of difficulty between these two things, It’s completely incomparable.”

On the way across the five major countries, you may pass through many towns, and there are countless places to get supplies along the way.

And across the continent

I am afraid that I have to travel across mountains and rivers, or even cross oceans. Even a ninja may not be able to do this without great perseverance and perseverance.

Bai Mingyu somewhat understood the meaning of what the witch said before.

Mt. Miaomu, Ryūchi Cave, and Shiggou Forest are all probably on another continent outside the Ninja World. Compared with Jiraiya, who was favored by fate, and Tsunade, who inherited the mantle of the first generation, Orochimaru can pass his own It was really difficult for him to try hard to find Longdi Cave and sign a contract with the White Snake Clan.

After coming back to his senses, Bai Mingyu just raised his head and felt a pair of eyes looking at him faintly.

"You are indeed different from others."

The witch looked at Bai Mingyu steadily, with a somewhat unclear meaning in her eyes.

"what"

Bai Mingyu was still a little confused when he heard the witch say calmly: "When I heard this news from the previous generation of witches, I was quite surprised for a long time."
