Chapter 394 - He Just Couldn't Stand It Anymore

Because what the young man wrote next became increasingly radical and violent, every word was like a knife, and every sentence was like fire!

As the boy continued to write, the vibrations in the space intensified, and the thunderous explosions became more frequent and deafening!

With each thunderous explosion, a crack tore open the sky of space; with each additional line the boy wrote, the crack grew deeper and wider.

In an instant, dark cracks spread and intersected, cutting the boundless white skin into countless fragmented pieces.

The Sage of Six Paths could no longer remain seated. He abruptly stood up, his robes fluttering in the invisible tremor. His Rinnegan eyes widened as he stared intently at the words that were still expanding under the boy's pen, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

Some of the content written by the young man does indeed contain his original intentions and aspirations when he founded the ninja clan, such as his inability to bear seeing his ninja clan students kill each other generation after generation, his call to return to chakra to connect people's hearts, and his hope that the world could have less war and more peace, etc.

But much of the content is completely different. All those slogans he had never advocated, blueprints he had never conceived, and even earth-shattering ideas that had never even flashed through his mind for a moment, were all firmly attributed to him, the Sage of Six Paths, by this young boy with an unquestionable touch!

Every sentence is written in a grand and dignified manner, using words such as ancestor, original intention, original purpose, and return, and using the Sage of Six Paths as an endorsement in every sentence.

The Sage of Six Paths now finally understood why this space, formed from his own power and will, was so turbulent.

Because if what he wrote in his declaration of youth were to actually come true, then the world's understanding of him as the Sage of Six Paths would be completely rewritten.

In Buddhist terms, he unintentionally took on an enormous karmic burden for this young man, while the young man is simply using the progenitor's name to do his own thing.

"Fine, let's leave it at that."

After a long silence, the Sage of Six Paths slowly glanced at the space that was still trembling violently, as if it could collapse at any moment, and sighed heavily.

With a wave of his sleeve, the turbulent space instantly returned to calm, and everything returned to boundless pure white.

He then withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the boy in the Shinobi World who was still writing furiously under the moonlight, and closed his eyes again.

Because… he just couldn't stand it anymore.

....

A moment later, in the rice paddy.

Shinichi, who had been writing furiously, finally put down his pen. He then examined the declaration in his hand several times, growing increasingly satisfied with it. 

Finally, he nodded solemnly.

"If the Sage of Six Paths knew, he would be overjoyed, wouldn't he?"

Shinichi pondered to himself.

After all, he had put in so much effort to trace back to the source, bringing back to the forefront the original intention of the old man who founded the ninja clan, and even adding so many follow-ups that the old man himself hadn't thought of mentioning.

Wouldn't he be so moved that he secretly wiped away his tears in the Pure Land and decided to appoint him as the new generation's leader of the ninja creed?

...…

"Not bad."

Shinichi looked at the natural gold nugget in his hand, which was about the size of an adult's head, and smiled slightly.

The gold felt heavy in his hand, its surface covered with countless fine bumps and pores, and under the moonlight it shone with a warm, heavy, dark-gold luster.

Natural gold nuggets are rarely of high purity; most are mixed with mineral impurities such as quartz and feldspar. 

Shinichi roughly estimated that the gold nugget in his hand contains about 70% gold and weighs slightly over 20 kilograms.

For a gold nugget, it could be considered exceptionally large.

After obtaining that naturally occurring male-sterile plant, he carefully searched the surrounding rice fields for a while longer, and after confirming there were no further gains, he left the area.

Unexpectedly, after crossing a mountain and passing through this long-dried riverbed, his peripheral vision swept across an exposed section of ground and caught a faint flash of reflected light below.

He landed down, dug through the loose soil, and found this natural gold nugget.

Come to think of it, this wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a small, unexpected joy.

In his search for male-sterile plants, he has been scouring every mountain and abandoned village he passes through, almost like a carpet.

In a dilapidated temple that he passed by, he once found several gold and silver vessels used for offerings under a dusty altar.

Inside the collapsed cave, he had stumbled upon several boxes of rusty ancient coins and some scattered silver ingots and gold bars.

At some long-abandoned ancient sites, he found a great number of gold and silver jewelry that had been buried over time.

Occasionally, he might even encounter some chakra metal.

It's worth noting that the same weight of chakra metal is far more valuable than the same weight of gold.

It's funny when you think about it.

All these years that Shinichi has been a ninja, fighting and risking his life, the money he's earned is still less than what he's picked up while wandering around these days.

For a moment, Shinichi couldn't help but jokingly think that he might as well become a treasure hunter or a tomb raider.

With the blessing of the Fortune Sight talent, good fortune is always with him, and he even finds money while walking around.

If he were to travel around the entire Shinobi World properly, under the influence of Fortune Sight, he could become incredibly wealthy in no time.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Shinichi has never touched money and is not interested in it.

At this moment, all he was thinking about was how to better serve the people of the Shinobi World.

After storing the gold nugget in his storage scroll, Shinichi dusted off his hands, scanned his surroundings again, and left the riverbed once more to confirm that he had found nothing else.

According to his assessment, there were no hidden gold mines in this area.

After all, finding a gold nugget did not mean there was a nearby primary gold deposit. Gold nuggets were secondary gold and were often found far from their original ore veins.

Even if there really was a vein nearby, Shinichi could not be bothered to search for it, because when it came to picking up money, he had always maintained a carefree attitude and never deliberately pursued it.

As he had said before… he was not interested in money.
