Chapter 242
"The Third Raikage? That old reckless man?"
Tsunade's tone was a little surprised. The Third Raikage, who held back the Iwagakure ninja army with his own strength, did not go to the Pure Land after his death, but came here?
“It’s hard to say whether he is still the Third Raikage or not. In terms of the soul’s affiliation, he is now a collection of many incomplete souls, so it’s hard to say that he is the Third Raikage himself.
But in terms of his dominant consciousness, he is based on the memories of the Third Raikage, and he insists that he is the Third Raikage Ai.
From the perspective of cognition, the other party can indeed be considered the Third Raikage." Lu Nie replied.
"How did he get to this damn place?" Tsunade was stunned by the news, and even subconsciously ignored Lu Nie's definition of the current Third Raikage.
"When he was alive, he had used the power of the void and was too deeply infected by it. So after his death, his soul was immediately detected and drawn in by Jutu."
Lu Nie spread his hands. When he threw out the mask, he didn't expect to catch such a big fish! A soul at the level of a shadow, even the Pure Land was jealous.
The potential is huge!
"You and Orochimaru did this?" Tsunade looked at Luna with a strange look. She even vaguely remembered that Orochimaru had brought Luna to her house and asked her to teach Luna medical ninjutsu for a while.
After spending some time together, she had the idea that sooner or later the master and the apprentice would do something big. After returning to the village, all the things she experienced related to the two of them finally made her recall this idea that had been forgotten in the corner of her memory.
"I didn't deliberately design the Third Raikage." Lu Nie immediately understood Tsunade's thoughts from the complicated look in her eyes, raised his hand and confessed.
"Your experiment with Orochimaru is too dangerous!" Tsunade believed that Kaname and Orochimaru did not deliberately plot against the Third Raikage, but there was no doubt that they had made the plan with the intention of trapping the Cloud Ninja.
"Are you worried that your soul should return to the peace of the Pure Land instead of coming here to engage in endless fighting and decadence?" Lu Ni guessed Tsunade's thoughts at the moment.
Tsunade nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Hueco Mundo is a space that was born not long ago. It and the Pure Land can be said to be the positive and negative sides of the same coin. The Pure Land is the resting place of the soul, but those who can come here, except for the fragmented souls, mostly have some kind of strong obsession, and have come into contact with and pursued the power of the Hollow.
The Third Raikage was the first, but he will never be the last. Perhaps in the future, five new noble classes will be established here with the strong men from the five major countries and the ninja village?
In the words of Orochimaru, this place represents rebirth after death! It can greatly reduce people's fear of death. "
Lu Nie explained a few words, but he didn't expect to be able to convince Tsunade with just a few words, change her mind and dispel her inner discomfort. For someone like her who has experienced so many things, even if you find her weakness, it is difficult to make her change.
Unless she figures it out herself.
Just like hemophobia, when she overcame her mental illness, hemophobia naturally healed without medication.
Whether she recognized it or not, after accepting the power of the Hogyoku, her future was destined to belong to Hueco Mundo. Tsunade obviously understood this at this moment.
Tsunade didn't want to think about her destination after death for the time being. She just asked a question that she really wanted to know now. "Where is the Third Raikage? Is he here too?" She looked at Lu Nie and asked.
"Not in the Hollow Forest." Lu Nie shook his head, denying Tsunade's guess.
"Isn't this place the entire Hueco Mundo?" Tsunade was a little surprised. She originally thought that this was the entire Hueco Mundo's ecology and territory.
After all, she and Luna have been wandering around here with the Hollows for several days. She felt that the place she had been to had exceeded the area that crossed the territory of the Fire Nation, and it seemed to have no boundaries.
There is no day or night here, the scenery is more monotonous than the Wet Bone Forest, and time is hard to count here. Tsunade has always believed that this is the entire Hueco Mundo, and the environment of Hueco Mundo is like this, unchanging!
"Of course not." Lu Nie replied softly: "Unlike reality, the boundary between the Pure Land and Hueco Mundo is fuzzy and there is no exact value.
When I met the Third Raikage, he had already devoured and fused a lot of Hollows, and the strength of his soul had affected the ecology of the Hollow Forest.
So I made a deal with him, and he left the Void Forest and went to explore the world outside the Void Forest."
"Deal?" Tsunade frowned: "He's already dead!"
"Do you think a soul that is still very active in spirit and consciousness is really dead? Is the correct definition of death simply the death of the physical body? Or does it refer to the demise of both the physical body and the spirit and consciousness?
The Third Raikage doesn't have the same idea as you, Teacher Tsunade, that if you die, you're dead."
"Then what does he want to do? What is the deal between you and him?" Tsunade did not argue with Lunae about the definition of life and death. She just felt that Lunae and Orochimaru were doing something big behind her back.
Although the two of them had not been hiding their thoughts from her all along, if she had not come here this time and been exposed to these secrets, she might have had to wait longer.
"He always has something he can't let go of, doesn't he?" Lu Nie simply closed his eyes, and after muttering to Orochimaru who threw the confession to him, he said bluntly: "I told him that he can return to the ninja world and return to the Kumogakure Village in a state close to resurrection."
"Resurrection from the dead?" Tsunade was a little unhappy, but when she thought about the fact that she also wanted her relatives and lovers to be resurrected from the Pure Land, she was speechless.
After all, the research fields of art and soul were in charge of Orochimaru and Lunai, while she was only in charge of the real body.
But looking at Lu Ni, Tsunade always felt that he was hiding something.
"What else? I've said it all in one go. I should cooperate. As long as you can convince me, I will cooperate." Tsunade crossed her arms, her tone somewhat helpless.
"I just told him that this place may become another ninja world in the future. Even if he cannot become the Six Paths Sage who founded the Ninja Sect in the Ninja World, he can still become a 'Ninja God' like the first Hokage." Lu Nie took over the conversation.
"He believes you? Why would he cooperate with you? Are you sure he will follow your and Orochimaru's ideas?" Tsunade frowned slightly. She has always been very wary and suspicious of the Kages of other villages. Especially the Third Raikage, although he is a reckless man, that is only because with his strength and personality, this is the simplest, most direct and effective way to solve the problem.
"Because I have the opportunity for him to take a further step." Lu Nie said.
