Naruto's Journey to Training

Soon the group arrived at the underworld.

Entering the Ghost Gate, Yihu and others saw rows and rows of souls walking towards a long and gloomy road, with gloomy woods and rivers flowing with blood on both sides.

At the end of this road is a blood-red river with fast-flowing water and turbulent waves.

And on the endless river, the only place leading to the other side is a wooden bridge.

In the center of this ancient wooden bridge, there is a huge toad with white eyebrows and beard, cooking something in a big pot.

Almost every time a soul passed by him, the toad would hand over a bowl of soup glowing green, and only souls that drank it would be allowed to pass.

At the end of the bridge, there stands a stone pillar that reaches into the sky. The pillar seems to penetrate the entire underworld, with no end in sight.

After that is a large palace complex. As for what is inside, Yihu and others are not quite sure for the time being.

Just as the group was looking around.

Madara coughed lightly.

“Since you will be working in the underworld in the future, I will introduce you to the procedures of the underworld.

The place we just entered, which looks like a huge mouth, is called Ghost Gate. Ghost Gate is an important passage for the underworld to guide the souls of the world. Although it stands in the underworld, in fact, any soul will see it at the first sight when it dies.

After passing through the Ghost Gate, the road under our feet is called Huangquan Road, which means that this is the only way for the dead to go, and it is also the only way for the soul to go to the place of reincarnation.

The red river at the end of the road is called the Forgetful River. Remember, do not step into that river unless necessary, because anyone who falls into that river will never be able to get ashore and will forever sink in the Forgetful River, never to be reborn.

Even we, the Ten Yamas, do not dare to set foot in that river easily, because that river is the place where all the resentment in the underworld gathers. All the malice and resentment in the world will be sucked into it when passing through the Forgotten River.

After hearing Madara's explanation, Ichigo and the others shuddered instinctively. They couldn't imagine how terrifying the resentment and malice would be if they were to converge into a river.

Even Aizen felt a chill in his heart at this moment. The resentment and malice in people's hearts are undoubtedly the most terrifying things in the world. Once you are infected with them, you will be deeply trapped in them and unable to extricate yourself.

Madara ignored the changing expressions of the few people and continued with the introductions.

“The bridge over the river is called Naihe Bridge, and as for the toad on the bridge, you can call it the Soul Washer.

The bowl of soup he handed to each soul was called the Soul-Cleansing Soup. Any soul that drank the bowl of soup in his hand would forget its past and present lives and completely cut off the cause and effect in the mortal world!

If you have any painful experience in the future and want to forget everything, you can try it. I heard it is quite delicious. "

Several people in the household quickly shook their heads. No one would want to drink that green bubbling soup.

When Madara saw the reactions of several people, a hint of boredom flashed in his eyes. Sometimes in this world, being able to forget the pain is also a blessing.

"The stone pillar behind is the Three Lives Stone. It is an existence that connects the netherworld and the present world. Through the reflection of the Three Lives Stone, we can know everything about your past and present lives."

This information will be conveyed to the judge's book of life and death in some way, and then the judge will decide whether to go to hell to be punished and cleanse the sins of the previous life.

Or they may enter the animal realm and experience the suffering of samsara, or they may be reborn as a human being. "

After hearing Madara's explanation, Ichigo and others were full of curiosity about the magic of the underworld. It must be said that the series of reincarnations in the underworld was very well done, but they still had some questions in their minds.

"Uncle Ban, how can the underworld provide a fair trial? What if someone abuses their power for personal gain?"

Ishida Uryuu pushed his glasses and asked.

Madara, who was leading everyone forward, stopped.

"Do you know what kind of people are the only ones who can stay in the underworld?"

Madara did not directly answer Ishida Uryu's question, but instead asked a question that left them very confused.

Ishida Uryu shook his head.

A sneer appeared on Madara's lips.

"That is a person with good deeds. You should know that being able to serve as a ghost messenger in the underworld means that you have already entered the ranks of gods and men. If you want to get promoted in the underworld, it does not depend on how strong you are, but on how many good deeds you have.

Judge, every time you judge a soul fairly, you will gain more merit, and merit is a good thing. It is the purest origin of the world. It can not only improve your position in the underworld, but also has the benefit of infinitely improving your strength.

Of course, if the judge is unfair, his karma will increase tenfold. One trace of karma requires ten times the merit to offset it. When a soul's karma reaches a certain level, do you know where it will go? "

Yihu and others shook their heads again.

And there was a fierce look in Madara's eyes.

"They will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell, where they will never be able to be reborn. They will suffer endless pain until their souls are transformed into the purest spiritual essence and absorbed by the world as their source, disappearing forever!"

"So do you think the judge dares to be unfair? If they are not afraid of the eighteen levels of hell, they can just try to use their power for personal gain!"

Hearing those frosty words from Madara, Ichiho and the others all felt a chill in their hearts.

They finally understood the powerful orderliness of the underworld. Although they didn't know what the Eighteen Levels of Hell were, just by hearing the name, they knew it was definitely not a good place to go.

Seeing the frightened people, a smile flashed in Madara's eyes.

"Well, you don't have to be so scared. As long as you don't do evil, the punishment of the underworld will never come upon you.

And to work in the underworld, this is something that all ghosts would break their heads to get into. After all, the higher the position, the more merits one will gain, and having merits will not only increase one's strength rapidly, but also give one the protection of the world."

After hearing what Madara said, the fear in Ichigo and the others' hearts slowly dissipated. To them, they were not bad people.

Now they can even work as the ghost messengers in the underworld, and maybe they can also obtain some merits that the cold-faced uncle mentioned. In this way, maybe their strength can be rapidly improved.

However, Aizen, who had been following behind, had a slightly fluctuating look in his eyes. All the mechanisms of the underworld seemed to be biased towards justice. It seemed that he had to be a good person in the future!

Aizen thought silently in his heart, but if he just be a good person, he can quickly improve his strength.

This was not difficult for him at all, after all, he was a good person! As long as Aizen wanted, there would be absolutely no one better than him.

Soon everyone arrived at the place where the Six Paths Sage was. Along the way, they also saw how the judge tried the prisoners.

When the Three Lives Stone shines, almost any demon or monster cannot hide. The essence of the underworld and the Soul Society is that they do not judge a person by his or her soul.

Instead, a person's guilt will be judged based on what he did when he was alive. To be honest, this way of handling things has had a great shock to Yi Hu and others.

Compared to Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, which attract people with the purity of their minds, the approach of the Underworld is undoubtedly truly practical.

After all, they have encountered this before. They had done a lot of good things in their lifetime, but because some important people passed away in their last years, or they had unfulfilled wishes before death, they were unwilling to leave and stayed in the world, and finally degenerated into empty souls.

To be honest, every time they eliminate this kind of big void, they feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, they also saw what the eighteen levels of hell were.

The scenes shown to them by the Eighteen Levels of Hell made them feel creepy and shudder.

That kind of repeated torture makes it impossible to live or die. If there are really evil people who indulge in it, they will definitely deeply regret the evil consequences they have committed.

That is definitely not a pain that a human can endure.
