God Tree?

Looking at the eerie tree, Yemo narrowed his eyes, his expression deep in thought. Leaving aside the fact that it had survived in such a sealed environment, that was already extraordinary.

It could even trigger fluctuations in his own Chakra, and that feeling... all of this combined made Yemo feel not just strange, but a faint sense of fear deep inside.

"By the way, Yemo, what exactly happened to you just now? You got sucked in by that big tree, and what was that power that erupted from your body afterwards?" Kakashi interrupted Yemo's thoughts, several questions coming at him at once, showing just how puzzled Kakashi was.

Recalling the previous scene, Yemo frowned and said, "I don't remember very clearly, but I felt a strange force drawing me over. When I placed my hand on the tree, my body was out of control, and even my consciousness became confused."

"As for the force you mentioned that saved us, I was so disoriented that I didn't even know what happened. How could I possibly explain it to you?"

Upon hearing Yemo's explanation, Kakashi's eyes swept over Yemo several times, nodding and shaking his head, leaving Yemo looking confused. He looked down at himself, wondering if there was something wrong with him, but there was nothing; he was as usual.

Yemo couldn't help but shout, "Kakashi, what are you looking at? Say what you want to say!"

"It's nothing," Kakashi smiled and shook his head, but the next second his expression turned very curious. "I'm just curious, just how many secrets are you hiding?"

"I thought it was something serious. Everyone in this world has secrets, and having secrets isn't abnormal," Yemo said calmly.

What Yemo just said was half true and half false. The first half was true and the second half was false. There was indeed a force that drew Yemo to the tree involuntarily. As for the power that erupted at the critical moment of life and death, Yemo knew where it came from.

That power originated from Yemo's bloodline. In the final moments of his life, Yemo clearly sensed a strange power awakening within his blood. This power caused Yemo blood to flow rapidly and finally erupted. That power seemed to possess some peculiar properties, suppressing the eerie tree in front of him and even saving Kakashi.

Most importantly, at that moment, it was as if a nebula was spinning in Yemo's mind. He vaguely saw some strange scenes, including war scenes and apocalyptic scenes. Those scenes disappeared too quickly, so quickly that Yemo didn't see them clearly at all, only leaving slight traces.

According to Yemo's guess, this might be related to the bloodline of his Uzumaki Clan. After all, the Uzumaki Clan inherited the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Although the bloodline has faded considerably over time, the blood flowing in the Uzumaki Clan is still that of the Sage of Six Paths.

Thinking of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Yemo suddenly realized something, and it was like a thunderbolt flashing through his mind. He stood up abruptly, startling Kakashi beside him.

Startled, Kakashi looked up, about to unleash a torrent of abuse, when he suddenly noticed Yemo's changing expression—one moment shocked, the next incredulous, then terrifying. The words he was about to say were swallowed back down.

Just as he was thinking about the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Yemo suddenly thought of something else: the God Tree. Suddenly, he realized that the tree in front of him really did resemble the God Tree in many ways. It also had purple flower buds at the top of its trunk. Upon closer inspection, the tree in front of him looked just like a miniature Divine Tree. The more Yemo looked at it, the more it resembled the God Tree, and the heavier his heart became.

At first, Yemo didn't believe it. After all, there was only one God Tree in the world. Ever since the Sage of Six Paths sealed Otsutsuki Kaguya and became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and after his death, he used Yin -Ten-Tails Yin-Yang Release to create the Nine Tailed Beasts, the God Tree no longer existed in the world. How could there be a small God Tree?

However, the tree in front of him looked too much like the God Tree, and most importantly, Chakra Yemo spontaneously flowed into the tree earlier, just like the joy of children who had been separated for many years eagerly wanting to return to their parents' embrace.

As we all know, the God Tree is the source of all Chakra. Humans originally did not possess Chakra; their Chakra was derived from the God Tree. Only in this way can we explain why Yemo's Chakra underwent such changes, because his Chakra was summoned by the God Tree.

But if you say that what's in front of me is the God Tree, Yemo absolutely doesn't believe it. The God Tree no longer exists in the world, and its trunk Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, is sealed inside the moon. But if it's not the God Tree, why would it have the same characteristics as the God Tree? Ye Yemo couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

What puzzled Yemo even more was how this thing was related to the four elders, where exactly did the four elders find this tree, and what was the connection between the blood sacrifice and this tree. Countless questions lingered in Yemo's mind.

Yemo had initially thought that the four elders were manipulating something through his mother, but now Yemo felt that the implications were far deeper than he had imagined. Yemo absolutely did not believe that those four old men were qualified to be involved with such a thing.

Kakashi, seeing Yemo staring at the tree for a long time without saying a word, finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Yemo, why are you staring at this tree trunk? Are you thinking about something?"

Kakashi's words startled Yemo. Yemo paused for a moment, then instead of answering Kakashi's question, asked in return, "Kakashi, how long did you say this place has existed?"

Although he didn't understand why Yemo asked this, Kakashi still replied, "Judging from the damage on the stone tablet and the inscriptions, this place has existed for at least a thousand years."

"Over a thousand years!"

Yemo muttered something to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. No one but himself knew what he was thinking.

Seeing Yemo's expression, Kakashi could no longer contain himself and asked urgently, "Yemo, have you thought of something?"

"I do have some ideas," Yemo nodded, but before Kakashi could ask, Yemo interrupted him, "But they're just guesses, there's no evidence to prove them, so they're not very accurate. I won't say anything more for now. You should finish copying the text on the stone tablet first."

"Cut!"

Kakashi raised his hand and gave Yemo the middle finger in disdain, then turned around and walked to a stone tablet to the side, where he rolled up the scroll that had fallen to the ground and re-wrapped it.

In Kakashi's view, this was the territory of the Uzumaki Clan. As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Yemo noticed something amiss but had no idea what to do. As for why he wouldn't say anything, wasn't he just trying to keep everyone in suspense? Unfortunately, Kakashi didn't know that what was involved here was not just the small Uzumaki Clan.

Yemo stopped ten paces away from the tree. After what had just happened, Yemo dared not approach the tree. If something like that happened again, Yemo couldn't guarantee that he would be as lucky as before and avoid being sucked dry and killed.

Gazing at the large tree before him, Yemo narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them, his gaze revealing a thoughtful expression.

"The God Tree?... The God Tree... What exactly are you, and what are you hiding in the shadows?"

After muttering to himself, a meaningful smile suddenly flashed across Yemo's face. The matter concerning the Uzumaki Clan was becoming increasingly confusing and intriguing.
