The Mystery of Kaguya Otsutsuki's Immortality
In the absence of war, life on the front lines is actually quite leisurely.
Every day, Konoha sends out ninja squads to scout the border and prevent the Cloud Ninja from secretly infiltrating and causing damage in the Land of Fire.
Hinata doesn't need to perform such tasks, nor does she want to discuss military matters with Kakashi and the others Tenten, so Hinata can devote all her time to training.
Compared to staying at the Hyuga Clan at home.
Based on the results of the previous experiment with Hyuga Hiashi, when Natural Energy is concentrated to a certain degree, it will unconsciously improve the human body through Chakra.
Sitting cross-legged in the forest, Hinata used Sage Mode to gather a large amount of Natural Energy around herself.
Without doing anything or absorbing Natural Energy, Hinata entered a meditative state, letting the Natural Energy wash over her body.
This cultivation method is likely the fundamental reason why the Three Great Sage Regions can achieve longevity.
However, as time went on, Hinata quickly realized the drawbacks of this training method.
This passive way of receiving the baptism of Natural Energy can only be used to prolong life, and its effect on improving strength is infinitely close to zero.
As long as a person is alive, they will inevitably consume their life force.
This passive approach is completely unprofitable. If Hinata continues like this, she might live for a thousand years, but Hinata strength will not improve.
Therefore, the strength of the Three Great Sage Regions is actually far less than imagined.
Hinata now fully understands the difference between Kaguya Otsutsuki and Urashiki Otsutsuki.
The Sage of Six Paths said that Kaguya Otsutsuki would never die, not because Kaguya Otsutsuki does not consume life force, but because when she consumes life force, Natural Energy will replenish the life force she consumes.
Hinata absorbed Urashiki's Chakra and trained into Sage Body, so Hinata can automatically absorb Natural Energy and refine Chakra into Senjutsu Chakra.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's constitution is even more advanced; she can passively convert Natural Energy into life force, which is why she is immortal.
If interpreted in this way, it is also completely in line with the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Living consumes life force, and Kaguya Otsutsuki is no exception; as long as she lives, she will inevitably expend some energy.
However, the portion consumed by Kaguya Otsutsuki will be immediately replenished by Natural Energy.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and the Nine Tailed Beasts are actually one entity. The only way to completely kill Kaguya Otsutsuki is to destroy all three at the same time; otherwise, Kaguya Otsutsuki will keep reviving like the Tailed Beasts.
"Looking at it this way, Kaguya doesn't seem so scary after all!"
Snapping out of her meditative state, Hinata casually made a comment.
However, even so, killing Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and all Nine Tailed Beasts at the same time is not something an ordinary person can do.
Hinata has no intention of continuing this training.
Now that the secrets of Natural Energy have been deciphered, what Hinata needs to do is not to refer to the training methods of the Three Great Sage Regions, but to improve upon them.
"Perhaps we can even create a cultivation technique?"
Hinata's imagination ran wild.
However, before the feeling of excitement could even rise, it was abruptly extinguished in Hinata's mind.
Natural Energy is like a temperamental brat; if you try to control it, it will throw a tantrum.
Hinata uses the method of entering Sage Mode to gather Natural Energy. Natural Energy Natural Energy will actually resist, but it will quiet down when it becomes concentrated to a certain level.
Simply put, Natural Energy needs a sense of security.
When the Natural Energy feel they no longer need to fear Hinata, they will stop acting up.
"Although Great Breakthrough have been made in the study of Natural Energy, it seems that our strength is still difficult to improve."
Passively receiving the baptism of Natural Energy to prolong life requires doing it day after day, Hinata obviously doesn't have that much time.
Environments like the Three Great Sage Regions Sites cannot be created casually.
The four essential elements for cultivating immortality are wealth, companionship, methods, and location. Upon closer examination, they do make some sense.
The Otsutsuki clan controlled the God Tree, and they controlled the aspect of 'wealth'.
The Three Great Sage Regions only occupy the "land" aspect, so they are slightly weaker than the Otsutsuki clan.
"Waaaaah..."
Hinata was overcome with sadness. "I have nothing yet!"
"I'm so pitiful!"
'Shh...'
Zetsu emerged halfway out from in front of Hinata.
White Zetsu glanced at Hinata and teased her playfully, "Are you hiding here with your eyes closed, fantasizing about being invincible?"
Hinata rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly contact me?"
Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "It seems you really knew nothing about this!"
Hinata asked, bewildered, "What should I know?"
White Zetsu explained, "Ever since the chaos in the Shinobi World, I have been monitoring the movements of all parties. According to the latest intelligence I have received, the Kumogakure is plotting a conspiracy against you."
Hinata shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I already guessed that."
White Zetsu continued, "The purpose of the Kumogakure is to strike and retreat quickly, creating a false impression for the Shinobi World."
Hinata, somewhat surprised, said, "I didn't expect the people of Kumogakure to be so intelligent..."
"Did you come to me just to tell me this?"
Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "Hinata, you have to make a decision!"
Black Zetsu looked at Hinata and said in a low voice, "Once Konoha chooses to compromise, Akatsuki will once again come into the sight of the villages in the Shinobi World. The Rinnegan is the eye of the Sage of Six Paths, major Shinobi Village the Shinobi World will never sit idly by."
Hinata fell silent upon hearing this.
"... Are you trying to make me start a war?"
Indeed, from any perspective, the five-village feud was extremely advantageous to Hinata's plan.
Hinata just had a hard time getting over her own mental block.
By teaming up with Black Zetsu, Hinata can still convince herself by citing the 'Original Story storyline'.
But having instigated the five-village feud... Hinata could no longer deceive herself.
Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "You know very well that this day will come sooner or later. When our plan begins, it will be the moment when we completely break with the Five Great Shinobi Villages."
"Unless you stop me now, this battle is inevitable."
Hinata remained silent.
Hinata knew perfectly well that regardless of whether she stopped Black Zetsu, the Fourth Shinobi World War was inevitable.
The only difference is that the Five Great Shinobi Villages joined forces to deal with the Akatsuki, and there was also infighting among the five villages.
Seeing that Hinata remained silent, Black Zetsu continued to persuade her, "Actually, instigating infighting among the Five Great Shinobi Villages is not only beneficial to our plans, but also to the future development of the Hyuga Clan."
"Hinata, you should know perfectly well how to make this choice!"
