Chapter 37: The Unclean

"Approximately ▆▆▆ years ago, this world underwent a scientific explosion unlike anything our world has ever seen; the source of all this was his arrival."

"He was an existence of unknown origin, yet akin to a god; he claimed this world was unclean and filled with sin, and that the only way to purify original sin was to purge the sinners."

Reading this, Tsunade frowned slightly.

"A god? Could such a thing truly exist?"

Tsunade muttered softly to herself before continuing to watch Naruto turn the pages of the diary on the light screen.

"He believed that whoever survived after a war would be pure, no matter who they were."

"In the ▆▆▆ years that followed, the strength of all civilizations increased dramatically to prepare for this war."

"However, during this period of war, he vanished; regardless, the war was still launched."

He disappeared right after inciting the war?

Looking at the records in the diary, Naruto silently cursed the fellow who had instigated the war.

Outside the light screen.

Nagato looked at the words upon the light screen, yet harbored different thoughts in his heart.

Those who survived after the war were pure.

This idea resonated remarkably with his own beliefs; if given the chance, Nagato greatly desired to meet this person hailed as a god.

Within the light screen, Naruto continued reading the diary in his hands.

"Records regarding this period are extremely vague; any materials detailing anything about this era are forbidden."

"Later I discovered that the primary weapons used in this war for God's mercy were essentially humans exposed to a liquid compound known as the Tears of Divinity."

"The Tears of Divinity can purify the sins of the unclean and make them revere and love God, or so it claims."

Outside the light screen.

Watching the information on the light screen, Nagato's eyes brimmed with excitement.

Purifying the sins of the unclean could make them revere and love God.

Did that mean...

If one possessed these Tears of Divinity and purified all the unclean people...

...then this world could attain peace?

At the same time.

Beneath Obito's mask, his gaze was equally filled with excitement.

If he possessed the Red Sea Object and could cause the god to descend...

...and then use the Tears of Divinity to purify the sins of all the unclean...

In that case...

Would this world not truly attain peace?

Furthermore, the difficulty of summoning a god seemed far simpler than what he was currently planning to do.

At this moment.

Obito had already made up his mind: no matter what hardships or dangers lay ahead, he must get his hands on the Red Sea Object.

Simultaneously, Black Zetsu, standing beside Obito, held different thoughts.

Especially upon seeing the sharp glint flashing in Obito's eyes.

The resolve in Black Zetsu's heart grew increasingly firm.

Absolutely, Obito must not be allowed to obtain this Red Sea Object.

At this moment, Naruto once again began flipping through the diary in his hands.

"The records I recovered speak of this war in extremely vague terms, claiming only that the saints he chose crossed the land of sin."

"They led the sinners to face their own crimes; those who resisted his love were purified by his radiance."

"The Unclean are massive, semi-humanoid creatures that devour every living, breathing being they encounter."

"In truth, those creatures are the result of severe mutation caused by exposure to Tears of Divinity of extremely high purity."

"Although I have no idea what this means, it implies they were once humans just like us."

Seeing the information above, nearly everyone gasped sharply.

Looking at the data in the diary.

Tsunade's breathing grew increasingly heavy.

Could a divine object turn people into severely mutated monsters?

This divine object was nothing short of a monster, a terrifying thing!

If such a thing appeared in the Ninja World, the entire Ninja World would likely be destroyed.

Moreover, after mutating, these things would devour every breathing living being.

If they were to appear in this world, the consequences would be unimaginable.
