he had no connection whatsoever to Konoha or to Uchiha Jin, so why did he target Uchiha Jin so fiercely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, regarding this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin’s gaze remained unchanged, his tone perfectly calm as he asked: “What do Itachi think the ninja world is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninja world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this question, Minato and Kushina were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Nine-Tails’ mind went blank—after all, to them, the ninja world was just the ninja world, the place where all living beings survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato and Kushina, along with the Nine-Tails, said nothing, for they knew Uchiha Jin’s meaning would not be so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them spoke; instead, they simply looked at Uchiha Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin, for his part, showed no change in expression—he had never expected these people to offer any insight on the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t because they were unintelligent—in fact, in some ways, they were among the smartest people in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Uchiha Jin had over them was merely a golden finger, plus a god’s-eye view of the entire ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he himself had been born a native of the ninja world, without any golden finger, then even competing with these top-tier figures would be impossible—ordinary Chunin would likely be stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a soft sigh, Uchiha Jin spoke in a quiet tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ninja world is a nursery!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, distributing chakra to everyone was meant to encourage people to cultivate even more chakra.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, upon death, the lifetime’s accumulated chakra of humans would naturally be seized by Hagoromo in the Pure Land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though the powerful revived through Impure World Reincarnation possess endless chakra?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Energy is conserved!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What seems like endlessness is merely because the amount of chakra consumed is negligible compared to the Pure Land’s reserves—hence the illusion of infinity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hagoromo’s goal is to collect sufficient chakra, enough powerful souls…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi must understand one thing: Hagoromo and his mother Kaguya are, at their core, traitors of the Otsutsuki clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, because the distance is too great, the Otsutsuki clan’s pursuers have not yet arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the Otsutsuki pursuers come, the souls in the Pure Land become weapons; the Pure Land’s chakra can, through the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Statue, once again produce a chakra fruit, elevating Hagoromo’s power to a higher level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi think carefully, Itachi’ll realize this yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black Zetsu, Kaguya’s third son, has stirred chaos in the ninja world for over a thousand years—surely Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, never noticed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t he stop it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because war is necessary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just as the Oil-Style clan breeds insects—they must force their insects to constantly fight each other to cultivate truly powerful ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hagoromo views the ninja world as if it were a field of insects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary insects have no right to become weapons against the Otsutsuki—so to breed as many weapons as possible, war in the ninja world cannot be easily halted;
