"Chakra."

"The necessities of life that you are familiar with and have long been inseparable from."

“It’s also evidence of the spread of fire.”

...

The snake was sticking out its tongue, knowing that there was nothing here and was too lazy to act as its owner's hospitality.

Are you kidding me? It's a snake!

Whatever it wants to do, it will do.

"But it seems like you have no memory of being with 001 right now."

"I also don't have any memory of killing 001 that day."

Snake was not surprised to see Neji nod.

"I think you will remember it soon after you leave here."

"Don't you have any opinion about this world?"

According to the snake's description, the earth originally had no chakra.

The ancestor of Chakra is the "forbidden fruit".

That is the fruit of the sacred tree.

Before the story begins, the first thing that is mentioned is the Otsutsuki clan.

That is to say, to the people on Earth, they are aliens.

They have a completely different appearance from humans - white eyes, white hair, and white skin.

From head to toe, there is nothing that is not white.

Even among the white hair, hard, snow-white horns will grow.

And the white eyes are the proof that he is his descendant.

There is no chakra or Byakugan on Earth.

A long, long time ago, Kaguya was sacrificed to the sacred tree, but she escaped after swallowing the fruit.

She lived on Earth, settled down on Earth, and gave birth to a child with the power of the sacred tree.

That is, the current people on Earth.

The legendary Six Paths Sage and his brothers are also Kaguya's children.

"So far, you have heard about it to some extent."

"After all, no matter what, you were killed by the sacred tree."

"Ah, the Divine Tree and the Ten-Tails are the same thing."

The snake added considerately, not forgetting to poke Neji's chest with the tip of its tail.

"The original Earthling was transformed into White Zetsu by Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"Is it right?"

Even though he was a child who didn't live to see the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he could guess it easily.

"I'm glad you thought of that."

How could Kaguya, who was sealed on the moon, be willing to accept this?

"I have to say it, you are worthy of being the first person to come here."

"But what I want to tell you is more than just that."

"To be honest, what happens to Kaguya, or what happens to the Ōtsutsuki - it has nothing to do with me."

The snake seemed to be laughing, and the next half of the sentence was completed by Neji.

"After all, you're just a snake living on a sacred tree."

"Is it right."

The snake's tail swung and hit the sacred tree violently.

The sacred tree that was burned into charcoal was shaking, but it did not break.

“It’s an incredible experience to hear these words from someone else.”

"I grew up here, nurtured by the sacred tree..."

"Nature is also different from other creatures."

"The original Earth did not have chakra, nor did it have such superhuman powers..."

The snake's voice was drawn out, tempting Neji to think downward.

“No matter what you do in this world, it all depends on a balance.”

"You also used this to kill 001."

"What is the principle, why, it is not something that tiny beings like us can peek into..."

"What you need to know is the result after all this."

There is no smoke without fire.

There shouldn't be wind here.

But it was like a valley cave, and a howling wind was blowing.

It seems to be sad, it seems to be unwilling, but more...

It's lonely and helpless.

Neji had his own answer.

He raised his head, his pure white eyes fixed on the snake's coiling body.

“You’re put on the other end of the scale.”

“It became the weight to complete the balance.”

"This place does not really exist, but is only a reflection of the surface world."

It is always mentioned in picture books for children.

What is deep inside the Earth?

Layer by layer, the material structure peels off the earth...

The innermost one is the core of the earth.

A core that can burn everything.

"Time doesn't pass here..."

"There is only regret and unwillingness."

The snake himself puts an end to the story at the end.

"What this place looks like depends on the owner of this place."

"As long as the surface world exists, this place will not be destroyed."

“I will never be free.”

Like a bird in a cage.

Listening to stories from the outside world can only exist in the small piece of land that is within reach.

Neji leaned down and slowly placed his left hand on his chest.

Feel nothing.

The organs there have long stopped beating.

"So, what is the system?"

Why is he here again?

Obviously, all of this has something to do with snakes.

"As a reward for clearing the level, it's not wrong to tell you."

The snake's tail trembled, and suddenly split in the middle, falling down as if it had been cut.

Suddenly, black mist emerged from the incision and dragged the tail to the right position.

Just like 002.

The only difference is that 002 is the eyeball, while the black fog in front of us has a tail.

“This is just a simplified version.”

"It can't do anything, just being here is doing its best."

"But after seeing this, I think you probably understand it."

The headquarters that was repeatedly mentioned by the system was most likely the snake in front of it.

“The operating principle here is also very simple.”

"The initial mission target was me."

"But it's clear that he can't finish it and he will never finish it."

"So he gave me his soul - no, he gave me his soul according to the agreement."

Snake paused with a sense of mischief: "So, the next host has a mission objective."

"Generation after generation...until you showed up."

"You're not right."

The snake opened his mouth in surprise, not expecting Neji to interrupt him here.

"that is it?"

"Summarize all the tasks and calculate the task goals that can realize the wishes of several people at the same time by completing one task..."

“That’s what you did, isn’t it?”

Be it the future or the present.

"Without a host, the wish will never be fulfilled."

"Isn't it?"

Most of what Hyuga Neji said was correct.

But the snake still needs to correct one thing.

"Even if you become the host, your wish may not be granted."

"Like... you."

"As you can see, this is just a dark factory where a lonely snake is looking for fun and a meal."

“There is no such thing as a wish-fulfilling function.”

"You've cleared the level, and I'm full, which means... there will be no more hosts after this."

No, it is not.

Without even having to think about it, Neji knew what the snake wanted.

"Passed?" The boy's voice was cold and distant, with a hint of subtle contempt: "Isn't there another one?"

The dead man's cold palm stretched out and pressed against the snake's wet and cold skin.

"In your rules, there is only the initial mission."

"How about letting me hear your wish? Or, after being a stay-at-home for so many years, you don't even have the courage to make a wish?"

"Let's make a pact..."

Neji's voice replaced the sound of the wind, filling the entire space.

"Regarding your wish..."

"And my wishes."
