No one is perfect.
After Shinra learned the story of everything from the Shinigami, this was the conclusion that he came up with.
Whether it was gods, mortals, ninjas, or anything else, all of them had always made mistakes, but somehow, in this world, as Ashura and Indra could reincarnate forever, almost repeatedly, as their souls would always return to the Pure Land, the place where their father resided, they would return to the world again and again, experiencing many trials, wars, and all other negative emotions again and again.
"Is Hagoromo a sadist?"
Shaking his head, Shinra didn't care about Hagoromo nor did he care about Ashura or Indra, but he knew well that as he had defeated Hagoromo, he felt two strange, similar auras that emerged in this world, or a timeline.
Or, was there really no one who could help this world except for his two sons?
"Well, it doesn't matter."
Hagoromo had died, and it was impossible for Ashura and Indra to reincarnate. Instead of looking at the past, it was better for Shinra to look at the future, as this world would be as good as his.
As for the future of Naruto and Sasuke, who had come to this world—
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Naruto and Sasuke from the future came to this world?
Yes, Shinra knew that the two had come to this world, but he knew that he wasn't his target. Instead, their target was Ootsuki Urashiki, who had come to the past.
Previously, as Urashiki came to this world, he planned to take away the chakra from the Nine-Tailed from the small Naruto to grow stronger, but unfortunately, before he could do anything, he met Shinra and was controlled by him by using Kotoamatsukami.
By then, Urashiki was used by him to become the evil, the last antagonist that brought terror and fear to this world. Then again, those he had attacked were just those with power or authority, yet even so, sometimes, people often said that the lives of people weren't equal, and because of that, when those Lords, nobles, wealthy people, and many of them, who were used to taking away the lives of many, died after another like they were a group of ants that were killed for fun by a child, it caused much more damage to others than one could imagine.
The value of those with blue blood was all challenged, and they all were killed one after another, making all of them realize that in front of overwhelming powers, they were all the same, and it was also because of that, they would use everything to take down Urashiki.
Naturally, Konoha was called, hoped, or even forced to help, to take down this evil known as "Urashiki Ootsuki," but as the village had just experienced the civil war, how could it help?
The other villages also weren't much better since Urashiki wasn't weak, and he was so strong that those Kages were like children in front of him, especially when ninjutsu was meaningless in front of him.
More importantly, when Shinra attacked to get all of the Tailed Beasts, he also damaged many things in their ninja villages, so that the war wouldn't happen.
Or even if it happened, there was time for them to prepare.
Yet, without a doubt, the best way to raise was during the chaos.
The more chaotic the moment was, the better it was for one to take advantage of everything, especially when those who were in power had all passed away, giving him a moment to take away their everything.
Still, while the authority and wealth, everything that was owned by those in power in the world was nice, what Shinra was attracted to the most was this Pure Land.
Why was he attracted to this place?
It was because of those souls.
To create the Chakra Fruit, Kaguya needed the energy from this planet, turning everything into a desert wasteland, like that of the Wind Country, but Shinra didn't want to destroy this planet; he wanted to create the Chakra Fruit, the item that could increase his energy further, and make him into the strongest being.
Shinra didn't need to eat hundreds of them, but he thought to eat at least two or three Chakra Fruits to make sure that he would be okay.
Naturally, like a human that needed to eat, and plants that needed good soil to grow, for the Chakra Fruit to grow, it needed a good place to grow.
His first idea was definitely the land of the toad, where it was filled with great energy.
While he wanted to destroy the toad as they were too annoying, it was impossible to erase all the toads as they existed everywhere, so he changed his strategy and that was by taking away their land, since it was filled with an energy, which should help him to grow the Chakra Fruit.
As for the toads, as they had no supply of the natural energy, it was impossible for them to grow stronger, and by then, as the older generations grew old and died, the young generations were unable to grow stronger before all of them turned into a normal toad that was seen on the farm and other familiar locations.
Compared to erasing them fully, this was the best revenge, right?
Yet, this Pure Land was also a good place, as the Chakra Fruit could absorb its nutrients from those souls that lived in this place, especially from those powerful ninjas.
More importantly, by taking away those souls, it meant that it was impossible for those who had died to return to the world of the living once again, which would erase the effect of the "Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation," as it would only work if the soul existed.
If souls didn't exist, then it would have been impossible for the "Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation" to work again.
Lastly, whether one wished to or not, people would die, and as the war disappeared due to him, the number of humans would grow, and by then, would he lack souls?
Nevertheless, it didn't mean that he would take away all the souls since some souls were important—
Not really.
After all, unlike the others, who had someone important for them, passed away, Shinra had no such people, and all the people that he thought of as important were still living well, and it was too lonely to live alone as he knew that he would live so long, so he thought to make them accompany him on this long journey known as a life.
Yet, as Shinra relaxed, thinking of many of his plans, the future of Naruto and Sasuke, who were searching for Urashiki, was brought to a halt when they saw someone unexpected.
No, it was only Naruto since Sasuke didn't have an intense feeling toward this person, yet, as he saw him, he cried and shouted, "Pervy Sage!"
"......" Jiraiya.
