As the Nine-Tailed spoke, Minato and Kushina also looked toward Uchiha Jin.
Clearly! They had also been unable to figure out this problem. After all, in a sense, since the Six Paths Sage, Hagoromo, had already entered the Pure Land, he had no entanglement with Konoha or Uchiha Jin. Why, then, would he be so targeted against Uchiha Jin?
Regarding this, Uchiha Jin's expression did not change at all. He simply asked in a very calm tone: "What do you think the Ninja World is?"
The Ninja World? Upon hearing this question, Minato and Kushina were stunned.
Even the Nine-Tailed's mind was momentarily blank. After all, in their view, the Ninja World was just the Ninja World—the place where all living beings relied on to survive.
However, Minato, his wife, and the Nine-Tailed did not speak, because they knew what Uchiha Jin wanted to say certainly wouldn't be that simple.
Therefore, none of them spoke; instead, they just looked at Uchiha Jin.
Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged, clearly not expecting these people before him to offer any insight on the matter.
It couldn't be helped! This wasn't to say that these people weren't smart; after all, to some extent, they were among the smartest people in the Ninja World.
What Uchiha Jin had over them was simply a cheat code in his hands, plus a god's-eye view of the entire Ninja World.
If he were also a native born in the Ninja World, without a cheat code in his hands, let alone competing with these top-tier figures, even an ordinary Chunin would probably be stronger than him.
After a soft sigh, Uchiha Jin said in a clear, detached tone: "The Ninja World is a nursery!"
"For that Six Paths Sage, Hagoromo, distributing Chakra to everyone was simply hoping that people could use it to cultivate more Chakra."
"That way, when the day comes that humans die, the Chakra they have accumulated throughout their lives will naturally be seized by Hagoromo in the Pure Land."
"The strong ones brought back by Edo Tensei, although their Chakra seems endless?"
"Energy is conserved!"
"What appears to be endless is just because the amount of Chakra used is too little for the Pure Land, which is why it gives people a sense of being endless."
"That Six Paths Sage's goal is to collect enough Chakra and enough souls of the strong..."
"You must understand one thing: Hagoromo, including his mother, Kaguya, are essentially traitors to the Ōtsutsuki Clan."
"It is only because the distance is too great that the pursuers from the Ōtsutsuki Clan have not yet arrived."
"When the Ōtsutsuki pursuers arrive, the souls of the strong in the Pure Land will serve as weapons, and the Chakra in the Pure Land can be channeled through the Gedo Statue to produce another Chakra Fruit, thereby raising Hagoromo's power to the next level."
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out!"
"Black Zetsu, Kaguya's third child, has been stirring up trouble in the Ninja World for thousands of years. Do you really think the Six Paths Sage, Hagoromo, didn't notice?"
"Why didn't he stop it?"
"Because war is necessary!"
"Just like how the Aburame Clan raises insects, you must let your insects fight constantly to potentially cultivate truly powerful insects."
"The way that Six Paths Sage looks at the Ninja World is actually just like looking at insects."
"Ordinary insects don't even have the qualifications to become weapons when facing the Ōtsutsuki. Therefore, to cultivate as many weapons as possible, the wars in the Ninja World naturally cannot stop easily. Otherwise, where would the Six Paths Sage go to cultivate the strong?"
"It just so happens!"
"Black Zetsu, that little brother, became a pawn of the Six Paths Sage. To save Kaguya, Black Zetsu kept inciting the reincarnations of Indra, thereby manipulating the thousand-year blood feud between the Senju and Uchiha."
"Even when ninja villages appeared, the wars could not stop..."
"But, what about me?"
"Just because I want to unify the Ninja World, want to completely end the wars, and want the Ninja World to become truly peaceful, this naturally affects the Six Paths Sage's layout."
"And this is also the reason why, a few days ago, Hagoromo and Mount Myōboku joined forces to stop me from unifying!"
As Uchiha Jin spoke, Minato, his wife, and the Nine-Tailed were instantly stunned.
Minato and his wife could not imagine that so many tragedies in the Ninja World were actually caused by such a reason...
Likewise, the Nine-Tailed was also plunged into shock!
Because it had lived long enough, it had seen more things. Now, after hearing Uchiha Jin put it this way, it instantly understood many things it couldn't figure out before.
"How is that possible?" The Nine-Tailed couldn't help but speak, its eyes filled with disbelief.
It couldn't be helped! This was too far from the Six Paths Sage in its mind, so much so that it felt unwilling to face it directly.
Regarding this, looking at the confused Nine-Tailed before him, Uchiha Jin pondered for a moment before speaking again: "Don't think too highly of Hagoromo. In his eyes, you, the Nine-Tailed, are just a tool."
"Your purpose is to wait for Black Zetsu to stuff you into the Gedo Statue, thereby reviving the Ten-Tails and making Uchiha Madara the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, then waiting for the God Tree to be replanted to bear a Chakra Fruit."
"By that time, even if Kaguya is released, the Six Paths Sage has Indra and Ashura; these two pawns can help him seal Kaguya again."
"And the Chakra Fruit produced can be pocketed by the Six Paths Sage."
"The dirty work was done by Black Zetsu, while the Six Paths Sage remains pure and untainted. He gets more souls of the strong, and is more confident in dealing with the upcoming Ōtsutsuki Clan."
"..." Uchiha Jin's face was filled with disdain.
Although much of this was just his speculation, based on the original work he had read and the current situation of the Ninja World, he still felt it was likely very close to the truth.
After all... this is the Ninja World, a world where the strong are respected!
If the Six Paths Sage really wanted to restore peace to the Ninja World, honestly, it wouldn't be a big deal. Just like Uchiha Jin now, he could easily achieve this.
But, what are the facts? The Ninja World has been fighting for thousands of years, and it is still in chaos today.
And just when he had finally managed to restore peace to the Ninja World, the Six Paths Sage and Mount Myōboku popped out, directly tricking that fool Jiraiya into running over to seek his own death.
"Fine, I understand!" "I will help you from now on. This kid is not bad, and I will try my best not to affect him in the future." "As for future matters, we can talk about them later."
The Nine-Tailed was silent for a long time, but still nodded and agreed to the matter.
It couldn't be helped! Compared to being trapped inside a Jinchuriki, it was still better than being stuffed directly into the Gedo Statue, right?
Regarding this, Uchiha Jin nodded, his face showing no surprise at all.
As long as the Nine-Tailed wasn't stupid, it would know what it should do.
Thinking of this, he also gave his promise: "As long as you, Nine-Tailed, don't cause trouble, then after Uzumaki Naruto dies of old age, I can find you a new Jinchuriki and let you live freely in the Ninja World."
