Bai Sui cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention back to him, and then said, "I extracted many fragmented memory pieces from the minds of those two Otsutsuki clan members. For the past month or so, I have been trying to analyze these memories, attempting to piece them together and complete them."
Ultimately, I successfully compiled a lot of useful information, which I now mainly divide into two categories: one is based on knowledge and skills, and the other is based on various intelligence.
As for knowledge and skills, I have already made a preliminary sorting of them, and I will later package them and hand them over to the Research Institute. After that, the people at the Research Institute will need to further differentiate and organize them, and try to conduct secondary deductions and dissemination and promotion, so that they can be completely transformed into something of the Ninja World.
The main reason I've gathered everyone here today is to discuss this type of intelligence. I've also categorized this intelligence into two types: one is closely related to the Ōtsutsuki Clan itself, and the other is information about the Ōtsutsuki Clan that they've obtained in the universe. What I'm going to talk about today includes both of these categories.
First, I will explain to you what we know about the Ōtsutsuki Clan so far.
We have successfully obtained the coordinates of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's territory from the intelligence. It is located very far from Earth, and the two are not even in the same star system.
This intelligence has both good and bad aspects. On the one hand, it's not easy for the Ōtsutsuki Clan to obtain information about our place, and even coming here once is a huge expense.
On the other hand, it means that the Ōtsutsuki Clan had at least explored their own star system to a great extent, which forced them to explore outwards, even reaching Earth.
In other words, the Ōtsutsuki Clan itself has obtained at least the life energy of an entire star system. Although there has been a lot of consumption over the past hundreds of thousands of years, and even most of their chakra reserves were consumed in the process of creating a god, the chakra that can be converted from the remaining life energy is still an extremely astonishing amount.
Later, in the batch of knowledge and skills information I provided to the Research Institute, you will be able to understand just how prosperous and powerful the Ōtsutsuki Clan truly is. Their strength is not limited to chakra abilities; it is multifaceted. They have conducted in-depth research on various techniques, although different Otsutsuki clan members excel in different areas.
Next, we will talk about the remaining members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Although the members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan have very long lifespans, these lifespans come at a price: they require a huge amount of chakra to sustain them.
Therefore, the Ōtsutsuki Clan strictly controls the number of its members. According to Urashiki Otsutsuki, the number of active members of the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan remains at around 30,000.
Of these 30,000, not all of them were combat personnel. Only about half, or around 15,000, were combatants, like the three Otsutsuki clan members who attacked Earth before.
However, considering the strength of each combat member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, if all Otsutsuki were to be mobilized, their power would be enough to Cleansweep an entire star system. Even the 15,000 Otsutsuki who are not specifically trained for combat should not be underestimated. After all, they are only relatively less skilled in combat, but their physical attributes and energy reserves are still considerable. When it comes to fighting desperately, they can create extremely powerful damage.
Of course, these 30,000 Otsutsuki clan members, if you put it in perspective, could wipe out the entire civilization within a star system; but if you put it in perspective, in the context of the entire universe, no, even if you only consider a single planet, these 30,000 Otsutsuki members are a tiny fraction of the total.
This has led to the Otsutsuki members often preferring to act alone, with little contact or frequent meetings between them. They typically only communicate at specific times, as the universe is simply too vast, and the energy required for each trip is an enormous amount.
Take Earth as an example. With the deaths of Urashiki Otsutsuki, Momoshiki Otsutsuki, and Kinshiki Otsutsuki, it would take at least seventy or eighty years for the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan to obtain accurate information.
It was only then that the Ōtsutsuki Clan noticed their abnormality because they hadn't sent back the corresponding message within the stipulated time. This was only because the task they were carrying out was relatively short. If it were the task that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to plant the God Tree, they would often only send a message back to the clan once every thousand years.
These seventy or eighty years are the best time for our Ninja World to develop, and this is the first piece of good news I want to share today, because with this time, we won't appear so passive."
When Bai Sui saw that some people seemed eager to discuss the matter further after she mentioned the time, she gestured for everyone to calm down. "Everyone, please don't get so excited. I have another piece of good news to share. We can discuss your thoughts after I've finished speaking; we have plenty of time..."
When the Ōtsutsuki Clan roamed the universe, they compiled a relatively complete star map, marking many habitable planets and planets that might harbor life.
Of course, this current version is about nine hundred years old since the last update, so there will inevitably be some errors in the information. The Research Institute will have to verify them later. However, when measured against the universe, these nine hundred years are not so important.
And so, on that star map, I discovered a planet that might harbor life. Not only is it not too far from Earth, but most importantly, according to the memories of that Urashiki Otsutsuki, this planet is highly likely to have intelligent life.
They don't just possess intelligence; they likely also have a corresponding cultivation system. According to Urashiki Otsutsuki's speculation, their cultivation system is very likely to have some connection with the Ōtsutsuki Clan's God Tree.
This is exactly what we need for our future development. However, regarding how we should specifically treat other intelligent life forms, I think we still need to leave that to everyone to discuss. Finally, let's discuss it in the meeting and set the appropriate tone for our future development."
After Bai Sui finished recounting what he wanted to say, he compiled the memories in his mind into a document, which he then handed over to the Research Institute staff through his divine sense. They printed it out and distributed it to the high-ranking officials present.
Thanks to the rapid development of the Chunin recent years, various facilities and equipment have been improved day by day, and computers that can be driven by chakra are now available.
Otherwise, Bai Sui really wouldn't dare to hand over this information directly to the Research Institute. After all, if those fragments of memories from thousands of years ago were transmitted to any researcher, their fate would be the same: their very being would be destroyed by the impact of these memories.
The assembled high-ranking members of the Ninja World received the materials compiled by Bai Sui from the Research Institute personnel. After reading them carefully, they began a serious discussion.
"First of all, we cannot guarantee that our languages are mutually intelligible, or that our communication will be accurate and effective. This will determine how we make our initial contact with the other party," a senior executive raised his questions and concerns.
Soon another high-ranking official chimed in, "That's right. Although we are in the same star system, we are in different star systems. Our life systems have developed independently. It would be too difficult, or rather, impossible, for us to make our two planets speak the same language."
However, others chimed in, "I don't think we need to worry too much about that. After all, even if we don't speak the language, don't we have many experts in mental power? We can just try communicating using mental power, and all these problems will be solved."
Of course, others also discovered the corresponding information recorded by Bai Sui in the data. "Huh? That's not right. This information shows that the information obtained by Urashiki Otsutsuki is that there was once an Otsutsuki clansman who, carrying a sapling of the God Tree, perished or was lost on that planet."
In that case, our languages might actually be mutually intelligible. After all, after Otsutsuki Kaguya ruled, the language of our Ninja World was changed to that of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
I think that even if not all the intelligent life on that planet uses the language of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, it's very likely that some of them would understand it.
Bai Sui nodded but didn't speak, because he knew that if that planet really was the world of One Piece, then the languages of the two worlds might actually be directly interchangeable.
Bai Sui even wondered if other life-bearing planets marked by the Ōtsutsuki Clan might also contain worlds familiar to Bai Sui from her previous life. If so, what kind of universe was this? And what was its relationship to her previous life?
If you say the existence of a world where food is cooked is a coincidence, then what about the world of One Piece? Is that also a coincidence? Could there be a deeper connection between them?
Unfortunately, neither Bai Sui's current knowledge and experience nor his current strength were sufficient to help him solve such a profound problem. Therefore, he could only briefly expand his thinking before returning his attention to the meeting.
At the end of the meeting, the high-ranking members of the Ninja World set the policy and tone for dealing with other civilizations, or intelligent life, in the universe. They did not want to become another Ōtsutsuki Clan, plundering the life energy of other intelligent life in the universe, nor did they want to colonize and rule other planets with intelligent life.
Especially the current nominal leaders of the Ninja World: Senju Hashirama, Madara Uchiha, and the Otsutsuki Hamura, all of them are people with great love in their hearts and a longing for peace.
Because of their resolute opposition, those high-ranking officials who advocated colonial plunder had no choice but to temporarily abandon their ideas and discuss the possibility of peaceful development.
However, during their subsequent discussions, they discovered another problem: although they had agreed to live in peace and achieve common prosperity and progress in the future, they did not have sufficient capacity to quickly travel to and from each other's inhabited planets.
It's not that they couldn't use Bai Sui's Yomotsu Hirasaka, but they didn't want to do so. In their view, if they relied solely on their individual strength to travel to other planets and form alliances, they would be no different from Urashiki Otsutsuki.
They're all just relying on their individual strength to do whatever they want. It's just that Urashiki Otsutsuki wants to eliminate his opponent by force, while the Ninja World wants to develop together with his opponent through force. This is not what they want.
What they hoped for was to truly unite the power of the entire Ninja World to achieve their goal. Therefore, at the end of the meeting, they decided to temporarily refrain from contacting the other inhabited planet and wait until five years later.
Once the Ninja World's Research Institute completes the corresponding long-distance transmission and communication technologies, then a large-scale expedition will be launched to the other planet. At that time, we will combine everyone's strength to establish corresponding diplomacy with the civilization of the other planet.
The reason it's said to be five years is because the Research Institute has already conducted a comprehensive assessment during this period, after simultaneously studying the knowledge and skills information provided by Bai Sui.
Their Research Institute estimated that they would be able to develop a corresponding large-scale long-distance transmission method in about four years. Then, the senior management added time for personnel mobilization, material preparation, and other preparations to make a five-year estimate.
After the meeting ended, Bai Sui returned to his Grand Tutor's Mansion and began searching for memories related to his past life.
Speaking of my past life, One Piece was a very popular anime IP, but Bai Sui couldn't stand its exaggerated art style at the time, so he basically only watched the famous scenes. As for the rest, he learned about the world of One Piece through various other channels, such as fan fiction, various derivative works, or hearsay.
