Logic told the Third Hokage that it was impossible for anyone in the world to achieve something as outrageous as freezing time for the whole world.
Especially since, just a few days ago, Yashiro Nono was just a mid-level Chūnin spy!
But his instinct told him that Yashiro Nono was not lying.............
What to do?
The Third Hokage couldn't even move his eyeballs, naturally, he couldn't see the equally horrified expressions of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
In all the years he had been a ninja, this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre situation.
Even the "Ninja Hero" was helpless right now.
"Don't be nervous, Hokage-sama, I mean you no harm. I told you before, I'm actually quite grateful to you. If you hadn't approved my application, these poor children would probably have starved to death on the streets, wouldn't they?"
After becoming a Miko, the aura of compassion surrounding Nono became even more pronounced.
She was lamenting the suffering of all living beings.
That was why Nono had to spread the faith of the Star Church!
The girl firmly believed that only by believing in the great All-in-One could one find happiness and bring peace to the world!
Snap——
The sound of a finger snap echoed through the entire church, and the three Hokage found that they could move again.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado immediately stood in front of the Third Hokage, alertly guarding against any movement from Nono.
Although they knew that their strength was no match for hers at all.
"What are you trying to do, Nono?"
It had to be said, he was indeed the "Ninja Hero".
It remained to be seen whether the Third Hokage was good or bad, but at least in the face of death, he did not show much fear, which was commendable.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to show you the truth."
Nono answered.
"Truth?"
"Yes, the truth. Or, you can think of it as the laws of the world."
Nono's voice was ethereal, like it was in her ear, yet in the sky.
She was clearly standing in front of them, yet she gave the Third Hokage and the others a sense of extreme remoteness.
It was like.............
The difference between an ant and a god!
"The world is so chaotic, people struggle for survival in the vortex. War, disease, hunger................"
"A thousand years, or even ten thousand years ago, it was the same. Hokage-sama, why do you think that is?"
"Why.............why?"
As if possessed, the Third Hokage unconsciously answered Nono's question.
"To know the reason, we must first understand the origins of the ninja."
"Let me think, where should I start?"
"Let's start with the Chakra Ancestor!"
As Nono spoke softly, everything around them began to change rapidly!
To the astonishment of the Third Hokage, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, the three of them followed Nono and rose into the air, stepping on the clouds!
Then they ascended even further, breaking through the atmosphere, into outer space!
The blue planet beneath their feet was the home of generations of ninja.
One hundred and fifty million kilometers away, the star that had been burning for 4.6 billion years, like an eternal, immortal god, silently watched over this star system.
Seeing this scene, the Third Hokage was completely speechless.
He didn't know how to face someone like Nono, who seemed like a god, and he was confused and bewildered about the future of Konoha.
Can we really seal the demons?
Questions like this arose in his mind, and then, immediately suppressed by the Third Hokage!
No!
This is not some demon, its existence is completely different from that of a ghoul!
It is the great god who bestowed divine power on Nono!
If the difference was not that great, the Third Hokage would still have the will to fight.
But when the difference is so great as to be immeasurable, anyone would lose all faith.
After all, when the difference is this big, what is there to fight for?
"Thousands of years ago, the Chakra Ancestor, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and her superior, Isshiki Otsutsuki, came to the ninja world."
Nono's voice startled the three Hokage, they saw the girl lightly waving her hand, the time on the planet under their feet began to rewind.
The events of a thousand years ago, all unfolded before their eyes.
It was a beautiful white-haired girl, she was ordered by the white-haired man to be sacrificed to the God Tree.
The white-haired girl didn't want to die, so she attacked the man while he wasn't paying attention!
She turned around and used the white-haired man as a sacrifice to the God Tree.
With a member of the Otsutsuki clan as a sacrifice, the God Tree sprouted roots and grew to maturity in a matter of seconds.
It absorbed the power of the entire world and bore a fruit.
The white-haired girl picked up the fruit and swallowed it.
"Kaguya Otsutsuki swallowed the fruit of the God Tree and gained immense power. But she herself couldn't fully digest this power, so the remaining power turned into two children in her body."
"Elder brother Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and younger brother Hamura Otsutsuki."
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki is the Six Paths Sage you call him."
Nono continued to narrate, and the planet under their feet began to change.
The Third Hokage and the others saw a tremendous battle, the two brothers Hagoromo and Hamura working together to seal their mother Kaguya Otsutsuki in the Moon, which Hagoromo had created.
To guard his mother's seal, Hamura volunteered to stay on the Moon.
And Hagoromo traveled around the ninja world, spreading the Ninshu, distributing chakra seeds.
And he had two sons.
The ancestor of the Uchiha clan, elder brother Indra.
And the ancestor of the Senju clan, younger brother Asura.
Seeing this, the long-standing doubts in the Third Hokage's heart were finally cleared up.
He murmured, "So, the Senju and Uchiha clans are actually from the same source? No wonder the Sharingan can suppress the First Hokage's cells, that's how it is................"
After a moment, the Third Hokage turned to Nono again and asked puzzledly, "Nono................ No! Miko-sama, why are you showing us all this? Forgive this old man for his dullness, I can't understand your meaning for now."
Nono did not answer, smiling back and asking, "When Kaguya Otsutsuki, or Hagoromo Otsutsuki, were still alive, did the mortals ever wage war?"
This.................
The Third Hokage silently recalled what he had just seen and finally came to a conclusion.
——No!
Kaguya Otsutsuki's creation of the White Zetsu army is one thing, but when she was still around, it seemed that none of the countries had dared to start a war!
Just like when the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was alive!
The ninja world was a peaceful place, and no one dared to start a war!
However, after Hashirama Senju died, not even a few years later, the Second Ninja World War broke out................
