Chapter 270

Hearing this, Luode fell into deep thought; the Second Hokage really is a talented person!

He actually dares to say such words; when facing someone who recruits him, even an ordinary prisoner wouldn't mention such conditions, would he?

Even after being infused with evil energy, a high-ranking ninja can still match many high-level demons, at least in terms of combat prowess.

"This world will provide me with an endless supply of ninja armies; what makes you think a single forbidden technique can replace them?" Luode said.

"Your current strength can easily control the life of a planet; you just said that."

For you, having these cannon fodder troops fight for days and nights to seize a world is still slower than you unleashing a single ninjutsu.

And if it's an opponent you can't handle, sending out these cannon fodder is utterly useless.

So Lord Luode, what's the point of having these ninja serve as cannon fodder for you?

"Are you just trying to have them die pointlessly, or are you tempting them with immortality?" Qiānshǒu Fēijiān asked.

Actually, regarding this, he's quite curious—he clearly possesses the ability to alter the memories of everyone on a planet.

You can crush a planet's entire military force, so what use are these cannon fodder? Those demons would be better instead!

"Saying that, it really does seem that way." Luode said thoughtfully.

Before, I only thought about using the ninjas' power, but upon reflection, even all the ninja in the world combined couldn't match a single strike from him.

Moreover, he has already mastered this power called Chakra, and in the future he will even transmit it into the entire legion via the Akemengde Society.

The reason these ninja have their current combat power is simply thanks to Chakra; once the legion's demons master Chakra, these ordinary people basically have no need to exist.

"I can develop some miraculous techniques for you; if you need cannon fodder, you can extract some of my brother's blood.

Using Wood Release to create special war weapons, it only takes a few months to become combat-ready, no need to train from childhood.

And the Burning Legion is called that, right? Those demons previously summoned those huge rock monsters, called Hellfire creatures.

I can also use Earth Release ninjutsu to modify it, further boosting its combat power.

This should also count as a summoned spiritual construct; such tireless beings with terrifying combat power make the best cannon fodder warriors.

"Ninja forces, you even have to provide them logistical support; ninjas, frankly, are just ordinary people who have gained Chakra power." Qiānshǒu Fēijiān said.

After being revived by the Sage of Six Paths, he also learned some secrets of the ninja world and realized that at the beginning, this world had no Chakra.

The Sage of Six Paths' mother gave birth to Chakra on this planet, and the Sage then distributed Chakra to all humanity.

And Chakra is the root of all evil.

"What you say isn't without reason; these ninja are indeed of little use to me, Qiānshǒu Fēijiān—what exactly do you want to do?" Luode said.

"I truly want to save this world; Chakra is the root of all turmoil, and it's precisely because Chakra appeared that the ninja profession came into being.

The Sage of Six Paths' approach is simply too naïve; Chakra energy is better suited for fighting rather than letting people understand each other's hearts.

If this world loses Chakra, then there will be no ninja, a world without ninja.

A world without Chakra would eliminate much warfare; if possible, I hope you recall all the Chakra in this world.

Qiānshǒu Fēijiān said something that left the First Hokage Hashirama Senju (Qiānshǒu Zhùjiān) and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade (Gāngshǒu) disbelief.

Eliminate Chakra, eliminate Chakra! Isn't that just getting rid of the ninja profession?

"How can that be? Grandfather, Chakra is ours.

"Chakra isn't our planet's power at all; it's alien power, and our world originally had none of it.

It's precisely because of Chakra that it caused a millennium of turmoil and brought about the brutal Warring States era.

After entering the ninja village era, in just sixty years there were four consecutive Great Ninja Wars—how many lives were sacrificed? Tsunade, you know this better than I do." Qiānshǒu Fēijiān turned and asked.

"Fēijiān, you're right; this Chakra power is the source of our world's calamity." The First Hokage took a deep breath and said, now somewhat agreeing with his younger brother's view.

"Hahaha! I value you more and more, Qiānshǒu Fēijiān; the Chakra of this world has already been reclaimed by Kaguya.

"I wanted to train them into war weapons, so I granted them Chakra again. But now you're asking me to reclaim it once more—no problem, for me it's just the blink of an eye." Luode said.

Recalling all the Chakra seeds, he can do it with a wave of his hand; the world's Chakra will vanish completely once again.

However, losing Chakra doesn't mean peace; it also means losing the means to protect oneself, and when facing the Otsutsuki clan, one can only rely on their power to deal with them.

The Otsutsuki clan will come, but Qiānshǒu Fēijiān doesn't know that even if he stays silent and does nothing, Luode will deal with them, because the Otsutsuki clan are prime fodder for the Ten-Tails.

So he proposed three conditions that seem simple, but each step is a calculation.

First, the first condition: release the First Hokage, let him become the world's guardian, with only him alone controlling Chakra's power.

And letting himself marry Tsunade (Gāngshǒu) is because he wants to forge a slight bond with this world.

Quite the calculation—the First Hokage guards the world, while his granddaughter marries him; anything the First Hokage can resolve naturally doesn't need bothering Luode.

When something arises that can't be solved, he and Tsunade come together to ask him to act—a woman and a technical advisor—and leave a shield to protect the ninja world.

Threefold insurance, to protect the world.

"I've given your brother Hashirama Senju (Qiānshǒu Zhùjiān) retained Chakra and granted him a thousand-year lifespan to protect the world—this is your scheme, right?" Luode asked.

"No! I never thought of having you grant him a thousand-year lifespan; if you give that power to me, I'll give it to him." Qiānshǒu Fēijiān said.

One shouldn't lightly guess the thoughts of those above; Luode has already promised to give me life and Chakra's energy.

By then, he can likewise grant his brother a long life, naturally allowing him to guard the ninja world—what's more, he himself too! "I promise you! Moreover, I can clearly tell you that the Otsutsuki clan will invade this planet in the future; when that happens, I'll come and take care of them." Luode said.

"Thank you very much; from today onward, Lord Luode, I will serve you—whatever you have me do, I will do it." Qiānshǒu Fēijiān knelt on the ground and said to Luode.

Luode opened his Samsara Eye, then mobilized life energy, activated the Samsara Rebirth Technique, and revived Qiānshǒu Fēijiān.

At the same time, he infused life energy and evil energy together into Qiānshǒu Fēijiān's body until his body reached its limit and stopped.

The Senju clan's physique is still strong; Qiānshǒu Fēijiān alone can withstand more force than Kabuto and Orochimaru combined.

After completing the energy infusion, Qiānshǒu Fēijiān felt the two distinct energies within him, clenched his fists—Chakra, life, and evil energy—and realized he was now thoroughly stronger than his older brother.

"Alright! Say goodbye to your older brother! Just give him a bit of evil energy or life force, and he'll live long." After saying that, Luode opened the prison door and released the three from their bonds.

It seems Orochimaru and Kabuto need to find a new research spot for them.

After seeing Luode off, Qiānshǒu Fēijiān took a deep breath, then looked toward his older brother and his granddaughter.

"Older brother, you must promise me: just you alone maintaining Chakra's power in this world is enough—guarding the world suffices; don't interfere in ordinary people's wars.

Most importantly, no matter how peace-loving the youths you meet are, how kind the youths are, or how power-hungry the youths are.

Never ever give the power of chakra to the other side, otherwise a thousand-year catastrophe will happen again! said Qianshou Feijian

I understand, I promise you, the power of chakra will only be on me alone, I will not give it to anyone else. said Qianshou Zhujian

Hmm! Gangshou! I have carefully observed, he is still very good to his woman, and I can see he is very young; if he were a bit older, I would not bring up this condition. said Qianshou Feijian

Most importantly, he can see that Luode still has some interest in Gangshou, and although Luode is strong, he is very young.

Even younger than Gangshou; if he were a bit older, Gangshou would not be able to blend into his women.

So second grandfather, at least discuss it with me first! The other side has destroyed our world! Gangshou said somewhat angrily.

But I will save it, completely eliminate this chakra power, the root of all evil! said Qianshou Feijian

After coming to the outside world, Luode flew up into the sky again, then using his own chakra seed as a base point, recollected the chakra of the entire world.

Then he used Infinite Moon Reading once more, restoring the memories of the entire ninja world.

"Thank you! Ninjas, thank the Second Fire Shadow for saving you, the era of ninjas is over!"

All the awakened ninjas heard a voice. (End of chapter)
