Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 365 The Survival of Life

Cixian frowned deeply, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

But the next moment, he suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, I never expected this, I never expected that there would be anyone in this ninja world who knows my identity."

He looked at Tetsuya and asked.

"Although I know your identity is mysterious, you have existed since not long after the ninja village system was established."

However, I can sense that you are probably not a member of our Otsutsuki clan.

I'm very curious, who exactly are you? And how do you know these things?

Before Tetsuya could speak, Jigen continued.

"It's okay if you don't want to say. Sometimes, a person's true identity is not important."

I think there's only one truly important thing, and that's whether we can have a good partnership.

Tetsuya was somewhat surprised.

"Interesting. After I exposed your secrets, you didn't fly into a rage or take action. Instead, you want to continue cooperating with us? You really are an interesting fellow."

"I don't think it's necessary to take action. In my opinion, our relationship is still undetermined and we don't necessarily have to become enemies. What do you think?"

Cixian smiled.

"I'm a very polite person when it comes to friends, and I think we should be able to become friends."

Tetsuya glanced back at Izuna and Madara, neither of them spoke, but simply nodded at him, indicating that Tetsuya should make the decision himself and that they would listen to him.

Tetsuya simply waved his sleeve, and a table and several chairs appeared on the ground.

"Since you think we can be friends, let's sit down and talk, and see if we can become friends."

Cixian didn't stand on ceremony. He pulled out a chair, sat down, and then tapped the table with his hand.

Red wine and steak appeared on the previously empty table.

"please!"

"Please, everyone, have a seat."

Tetsuya waved to Izuna and Madara before sitting down.

Izuna instinctively used his Rinnegan to check the items on the table, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did he nod to the two brothers, who then sat down.

“The three of you should try my treasured red wine. This bottle is older than you three.”

Cixian, acting like a host, began pouring drinks for the three of them.

"please!"

Tetsuya took a sip of the red wine, and to his surprise, it tasted quite extraordinary.

"It tastes really good."

"Haha, that's for sure. I usually can't bear to drink this stuff; I only bring it out when I'm entertaining a few guests."

Seeing that Tetsuya was fine after drinking it, Madara and Izuna also tried it.

Tetsuya looked at Isshiki and asked.

"So, should I call you Cixian, or should I call you Yishi?"

Cixian said nonchalantly.

"Whatever you like. After all these years, neither of these names matters to me."

"I see. Then I'll call you Cixian. After all, the name sounds like the same person."

"Humans? That's an interesting way to put it."

"I have a question I'm quite curious about, Jigen. What kind of race is your Otsutsuki clan? Planting trees all over the universe and consuming your own kind just for the sake of continuous evolution? What happens when your own kind is exhausted? Or are your clansmen constantly being born?"

"The Otsutsuki clan, huh."

Cixian's eyes were somewhat strange, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"The Otsutsuki clan is a clan that is terminally ill, with all its members suffering from mental illness."

"Cough cough hmm."

This person was taken aback by Cixian's words.

"Is it really okay for you to say that? Aren't you an Otsutsuki too?"

Cixian replied indifferently.

"Didn't you say I'm more like a human being?"

"I......"

Tetsuya rubbed his face.

Well, this Cixian is not quite what I expected.

I really regret not watching Boruto properly before I came into this world.

Well, forget it. Although I heard that Boruto's youth arc is getting exciting, before that arc, I really didn't have the desire to keep watching.

"Alright, can you tell me why you think the Otsutsuki clan is a terminally ill clan, one that's entirely mentally unstable?"

Jigen took a sip of red wine but did not answer Tetsuya's question directly. Instead, he asked a question in return.

"Mr. Chiba, do you know what the instinct of life is?"

Before Tetsuya could speak, Madara Uchiha answered first.

"To survive, to reproduce, and to perpetuate the race."

This person looked at Madara with some surprise, as if to say, "Goodness, how did such a thing come out of your mouth, Uchiha Madara?"

Madara Uchiha said with a frown.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is it strange that I would say such a thing? After all, I was once a clan chief, you know."

"When I served as the head of the Uchiha clan, I also pondered the meaning of life and the meaning of family."

"elder brother."

Izuna looked at Uchiha Madara with eyes full of admiration.

"So, it's not an isolated case that someone in your Uchiha clan would think about life every now and then."

Tetsuya thought of Itachi Uchiha, who went to the battlefield at the age of five and then began to ponder the meaning of life.

Madara ignored Tetsuya's words and continued speaking.

"In the past, I thought that an individual's life was short in the context of the whole world. So, in order to pass on the legacy, individual lives gave rise to families, clans, and races."

When an individual's life cannot last, life shifts from the individual to the group, thus being passed down through the group.

"Yes, in my view, life is the same."

Jigen agreed with Ban's statement, but then immediately changed the subject.

"However, the Otsutsuki clan had a problem with their understanding of life."

"question?"

"How could someone as powerful as the Otsutsuki have problems with his understanding of life?"

Tetsuya seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

"Yes, the more powerful a life form is, the more indifferent it is to the existence of life. After all, when a life form is powerful enough to exist indefinitely and continue as an individual, species, clan, family, and the like become unimportant to them."

"Yes, that's how the Otsutsuki clan is."

Cixian put down his wine cup and said.

"And the cause of all this has to do with the strongest being in our clan, the god of the Otsutsuki clan."

Otsutsuki Shibazakura.

While Tetsuya, his two companions, and Jigen were discussing the nature of life and the Otsutsuki clan, the ninja world was in an uproar.

The Hokage of Konoha was assassinated on his way to the Land of Grass, and was killed by the Uchiha clan, which had long been wiped out.

Suddenly, that name, which had disappeared for a long time, returned to the focus of the ninja world.
