Hyuga Shin's Immortal Path Starting Ground

After giving his instructions to Hyuga Shin and the Spark trio, he parted ways with them. He had no idea what tricks the Sage of Six Paths was up to; that Old Bastard's thoughts were too difficult to decipher.

He needed to choose a suitable location and establish the base as quickly as possible.

Hyuga Shin's worries were actually a bit excessive.

Although the Sage of Six Paths truly saw him as a thorn in his side, a splinter in his flesh! He wished he could immediately kill this gravedigger of the Chakra system.

However, due to the restrictions of the Pure Land's rules and his agreement with the Three Great Insect Sages, he was indeed unable to act directly.

Moreover, even if he could ignore the agreement with the Three Great Sages and forcibly break through the Pure Land's restrictions to act, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he couldn't bear that.

Although Hyuga Shin had destroyed the will he had left within Orochimaru and the others, which indeed caused him some shock and anger, even making him lose his reason for a moment.

But after regaining his composure, the Sage of Six Paths calmed down again. He felt that his rationality had been influenced by Hyuga Shin, leading him into a misunderstanding.

Even if Hyuga Shin could erase the will he had embedded, couldn't he invade again?

He was the progenitor of the Chakra system!

As long as Orochimaru and the others still followed the Chakra system, there was nothing to worry about.

It would only take a little more effort and a small price to pull Orochimaru and the others' destinies back onto the right track.

The Sage of Six Paths was very confident!

Moreover, the Sage of Six Paths had already thought of a way to deal with Hyuga Shin, but the timing was not right, and the conditions were not yet met. He needed to wait.

In his opinion, although Hyuga Shin had some abilities, he ultimately couldn't stir up any significant waves.

The general trend of the Ninja World was not so easily changed!

He would not agree, and neither would the Insect Sages of the Three Great Sage Regions!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have intervened hundreds of years ago.

The current system of the Ninja World was the result he and the Insect Sages of the Three Great Sage Regions desired.

The Sage of Six Paths even somewhat looked forward to Hyuga Shin influencing or even changing the overall trend of the Ninja World!

If that happened, he, the Sage of Six Paths, wouldn't be the one in a hurry, but rather those three lofty Insect Sages!

If it truly came to that, then he, the Sage of Six Paths, could sit back and watch the tigers fight, annoying the Insect Sages.

Besides, the current destiny Script of the Ninja World had reached a critical juncture, and the chess pieces had all taken their positions.

As long as Hyuga Shin didn't court death for the time being, the Sage of Six Paths couldn't be bothered.

This was also why the Sage of Six Paths wasn't rushing to act against Hyuga Shin and the others.

With his rationality restored, the Sage of Six Paths returned to his usual calm state, as if everything was under his control.

After all, he was an Old Monster who had lived for over a thousand years, with deep thoughts, not easily swayed by emotions, and truly not that simple.

An angry enemy was not terrifying, because anger could affect his rationality.

A rational and deep-thinking enemy was terrifying, because you could never guess what insidious tricks he might have in store for you.

However, the Sage of Six Paths would never have dreamed that in such a short period, Hyuga Shin had already developed a complete solution, building a firewall for the seeds.

By the time he discovered it, it would already be a little too late.

Hyuga Shin sped along, pushing his speed to the absolute limit!

He had never felt such a sense of urgency since he emerged into the world.

The Sage of Six Paths, who was as steady as an old dog, made him somewhat unable to understand.

He could only proceed with his next plan as quickly as possible.

While speeding along, Hyuga Shin used his divine sense to scan all the places he passed, searching for suitable locations.

Several days passed, and Hyuga Shin had flown across almost all the regions of the Five Great Countries, but he hadn't found any reliable places.

Although some locations were good and rich in Natural Energy.

Some were too close to the passages between the Three Great Sage Regions and the Ninja World, while others were near the major Ninja Villages.

They were clearly unsuitable as important bases for the organization.

Kakuzu, Sasori, and Hidan also had no good suggestions when contacted.

Hyuga Shin also contacted Orochimaru once to ask for his opinion, but he didn't get any reliable recommendations either.

Did he really have to choose one of these places?

Hyuga Shin hesitated, as Spark's safety was the most important!

These places were still not quite suitable!

He would keep searching; if all else failed, he would make a final decision.

This time, Hyuga Shin set his sights on the smaller countries outside the Five Great Countries, hoping to find a useful location.

This search yielded some good discoveries.

He found suitable places in three countries: the Iron Country, the Hot Country, and the Artisan Country.

They had good concealment, low population density, and decent environments, although the Natural Energy density was slightly lacking.

However, Hyuga Shin currently had no better options, so he could only consider choosing the tallest among the short ones.

Hyuga Shin had almost finalized his decision when he suddenly received a message from Orochimaru, which gave him a better idea.

After receiving Hyuga Shin's inquiry, Orochimaru also took the matter to heart, constantly contemplating suitable locations.

"Elder Shin, are you planning this location to rival the Three Great Sage Regions?"

Orochimaru couldn't think of any place more suitable than the Three Great Sage Regions, so he sent a message to Hyuga Shin to complain.

Upon receiving Orochimaru's message, Hyuga Shin couldn't help but smile wryly. That was indeed the case.

If there really was an unclaimed land similar to the Three Great Sage Regions, it would truly be the best choice.

Suddenly, Hyuga Shin had an epiphany. No! Such a place might actually exist in the Ninja World!

Hyuga Shin recalled his near-death experience over thirty years ago.

It happened during the battle at the Valley of the End more than thirty years ago.

He was gravely injured and on the verge of death while being pursued by Madara and Hashirama. To escape, he was forced to use the Reverse Summoning Technique.

To grasp a sliver of hope!

He was then teleported to an extremely special space.

It was similar to the unique pocket dimensions of the Three Great Sage Regions.

However, this space was dilapidated, with weak life force within, no powerful beings, and relatively sparse Natural Energy.

Hyuga Shin recuperated there for several days before he basically recovered. It was also there that he found himself again.

Later, he also found a passage connecting to the Ninja World within this space, and it was still functional.

He just didn't know why this place had become like this.

After Hyuga Shin healed his injuries and severed his Chakra system, he left.

The Natural Energy there was inferior to that of the Ninja World, making it unsuitable for his cultivation as he prepared to create his own techniques and step onto the path of Sagehood.

Decades flew by, and under the erosion of time's power, he had almost forgotten about this place.

It was Orochimaru's reminder that brought it back to his memory.

It was indeed an excellent choice!

Although it was somewhat dilapidated and not as grand as the Three Great Sage Regions, with weak Natural Energy, it was undeniably a very hidden place.

It would be absolutely perfect as an organization's base!

As for the issue of weak Natural Energy, it wouldn't trouble Hyuga Shin. With his current realm and strength, coupled with his ultimate utilization of Natural Energy, modifying it wouldn't be difficult.

At most, it would take some time to set up formations that gathered Natural Energy.

This was included in his method for constructing small spatial barriers.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Shin became even more interested in the hidden secrets of the Ninja World.

At that time, he was solely focused on cultivating immortality and hadn't considered other aspects, nor had he thoroughly explored the entire space.

Now it seemed that this place might have once been a Sage Region.

He just didn't know if he could still pass through. He decided to try.

After all, with his current strength, a mere spatial tear wouldn't harm him.

Hyuga Shin immediately formed hand seals, and Natural Energy surged out.

"Bang!" A cloud of white smoke rose, and Hyuga Shin vanished from his spot.
