Of course, the above is purely Qi's personal speculation.
It lacks any objectivity or accuracy whatsoever.
Qi simply had no other evidence or means to corroborate this, and besides, what difference would it make if it had any impact? If his fate was already destined to 'die,' what difference would it make whether he died in this era or disappeared in a future era!?
If you can't even take care of what's in front of you, what future can you expect?!
Qi knew exactly what he should do, but whether it was the right thing to do or whether it would work was another matter entirely!
"Back to your own planet?"
Qi's answer.
This was not beyond the expectations of the Deer God and Gamamaru. They had already realized that Qi was likely not from their world, and they had some guesses about Qi's actions and intentions!
However, Qi's attitude and actions were a bit too straightforward, which made Deer God and Gamamaru a little unable to accept it.
Oh, it's not that they can't accept it, it's just that the rhythm isn't what they expected, making it a little hard for them to keep up.
However, Gamamaru is Gamamaru after all. After frowning for a moment, he quickly said, "Ki-kun, of course you want to go back, that's fine, that's only natural. But as you just said, that tree is draining the energy of our entire planet. If you just leave like this, our planet, and the tens of thousands of lives on it, will all face annihilation!"
Gamamaru looked at Qi with a sincere expression, and a hint of sadness in his eyes.
This made Qi unable to help but complain inwardly.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a top-notch actor in the original work; his acting skills are simply unmatched!
"What? Do you expect me to help you? Putting everything else aside, I've already had enough bad luck getting dragged onto your planet for no reason. I'm just trying to go back to my home, and that hasn't caused you any trouble, has it? Besides, do you think I'm the kind of person who possesses that kind of power?"
As if his sore spot had been touched, Qi jumped up and looked at Deer God and Gamamaru with a resentful expression.
If Qi can't understand the implication behind Gamamaru's words, then he shouldn't be in this business!
What a joke!
Should Qi go and help them fight Kaguya!?
Only someone with a brain fart would do that!
Don't let Kaguya's seemingly dim-witted demeanor during the final battle in the original work fool you; she still needs to consider who her opponent is!
Sasuke and Naruto are protagonists bestowed by heaven, and they are also direct descendants of Kaguya. Their bloodline and strength are undeniable!
What's wrong with Kai!?
An Ice Release that even Kaguya would find a huge joke!?
That tiny amount of Chakra, not even comparable to the residue left on Kaguya's fingertips!?
This isn't the way to go—it's not a solution!
If he really had to do that, Qi might as well just choose suicide and be done with it!
"No, no, no, how could we be so ungrateful? We only need you to do us a small favor, Qi-kun, so we can study the power called Chakra within you!"
Gamamaru quickly waved his hand, and the words he then uttered truly revealed the old Toad's little black feet!
Upon hearing this sentence...
Qi then suddenly realized the truth!
Through their previous tests, the strangeness of the God Tree, and the corroboration of their own words, even the most foolish person could understand that the person who planted that tree, or who was closely related to that tree, must be an extremely terrifying being, definitely not someone that these so-called 'gods' could deal with!
They want to take a roundabout route.
Let's see if we can find the characteristics of that God Tree, or its weak point, by using the Chakra within ourselves!
Or perhaps...
'They want to possess that one God Tree Fruit!'
Qi has never hidden his utmost malice in speculating about the existence of the so-called Three Great Sage Lands, including Gamamaru!
These old guys keep saying it's for the whole world.
But Qi believes that it is absolutely impossible to ask them to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
Everything they do is for themselves, for the continuation of their own people.
Of course, this is a very normal practice, something that the vast majority of creatures in any era and any world would do.
Qi had no intention of criticizing, nor was he qualified to criticize others.
However, this doesn't prevent us from using it to be wary of the other side!
Otherwise, you might be deceived by someone's appearance and end up being sold out while happily counting the money for them!
'They really have guts!'
Qi's eyes narrowed subconsciously as he silently pondered something.
He needs to consider how he should deal with the situation next.
This situation has subconsciously fallen silent.
This caused the Deer God, especially Gamamaru, on the opposite side to become tense.
This Toad from Mount Myōboku is already prepared.
If Qi Zhen is unwilling, he might resort to some forceful measures.
Just as Qi had predicted.
Whether it's the person who planted that tree or someone who merely coexists with it, they are certainly not beings that these beings can deal with. Therefore, the only way to break through in the current situation is through the fruit that the tree bears!
Even a tiny bit of residual blessing can grant future generations such great power!
So how powerful would it be to swallow that fruit whole!?
Gamamaru had to admit that his heart was already burning with passion!
Of course, even amidst their passion, they didn't lose their rationality. For the Toad of Mount Myōboku, intelligence is their greatest asset!
It's absolutely impossible for Gamamaru to be completely blinded by greed!
Therefore, Gamamaru will only selectively believe what Kei says; he can't possibly believe it 100%!
This is also based on this point.
He had to get Qi onto their pirate ship.
"So, Qi Jun, our request isn't unreasonable, is it?"
"It's like a gentle voice," said Gamamaru.
In fact, within Qi's perception range, he could clearly sense that Gamamaru's aura was becoming stronger and colder!
The Deer God, who was standing to the side, even shifted his position slightly, clearly indicating a pincer movement.
If I don't agree.
They're definitely going to take action right now!
but!
"Hehe, on our planet, there's a saying: might makes right. Gamamaru, Deer God, let's have a fight. The loser must grant the winner a request. What do you think of my proposal!"
Qi suddenly chuckled softly, then looked at Gamamaru and uttered a sentence that caught neither of the two beasts off guard.
