Jiraiya looked at Shuimu and sighed and said, "No matter what attitude you use to face it, disdain, awe or indifference, it will always make you feel that things in the world are impermanent and unpredictable. In the end, we are all unable to break free under the control of fate."

It seems that strong people who have reached a certain level will face this problem in the end. Although Shuimu has not yet deeply experienced the power of "destiny", it is indeed time to consider it.

For Jiraiya, "fate" and "prophecy" have entangled him for decades, and his perceptions about them are definitely not comparable to Shuimu.

Seeing Jirai seemed to be a little moved, Mizuki asked, "Sentimental, it doesn't seem to be like Jiraiya's style, right?"

"Well..." Jiraiya seemed to recall some past events: "Some of them were Orochimaru's views. He originally wanted to explore more on this road, but unfortunately, war and death eventually confused his mind and made him forget our original intention."

"Orochimaru?" Mizuki felt relieved. It is not surprising that such a pride of the times has such insights. No smart people will turn a blind eye to this.

"So, what exactly does this "destiny" mean?"

Jiraiya shook her head and said, "The real body is unknown, and I can't figure out what the existence that controls the direction of this world is. However, after reading the information left over from the second generation, Orochimaru came to a conclusion; that is, the overall strength of the ninja world is constantly declining."

"The overall strength is declining?" Shuimu has never experienced this.

"Although the ninja combat power not only did not decrease but increased due to the accumulation of ninja knowledge and technology, this is just an illusion."

Zi Lailai explained: "From the period of the Six Path Immortals, to the first Naruto Shizura, and to now, you can clearly see that the strength of the top power not only has not improved, but has gradually declined."

"Single cases cannot prove the trend of the entire ninja group, right?"

Jiraiya sighed and said, "There is one thing you may not know. The number of Konoha's upper ninjas is much smaller than before, and its strength is much inferior. If it weren't for the support of Kakashi, Kai, and Asma, Konoha, who is strong outside and has been working, would have been unable to support it. Of course, it would be a good thing that you can make a name for yourself recently..."

"So serious?" Mizuki once inquired about these things indirectly, but Tsunade did not respond on the grounds of confidentiality, but unexpectedly, the situation was so bad that it was so bad.

"That's it." Jiraiya said with a headache, "Koha fell into weakness, but she was still encouraging and supporting. After so many years after the third ninja war, other ninja villages still did not take advantage of Koha's weak opportunity to invade. In addition to the three generations' skillful methods, an important reason is that other ninja villages are not as strong as before."

"So that?" Shuimuruo realized something.

How strong Konoha was once, just look at the suicide of Hashiki Sakuroshi. One person is almost half a Sand Hidden Village, and his reputation is so high that even the "Three Ninjas" cannot be compared with it. Others, such as the Fourth Generation Mesoba Fengmizu Gate, and the younger Uchiha family represented by the "Silent-Still Water", have long become yesterday's yellow flowers.

Such a "collapse" decline, coupled with the three Ninja defections or departures one after another, there was no major war and the balance was still maintained. It can only be said that the situation in other villages is not much better.

"So, what's the reason?" Since the strength of the ninja world is very likely to decline, there must be a reason.

"We think the problem may lie in chakra." Jiraiya gave an unexpected and reasonable answer.

"There is nothing else that can affect the entire ninja world except for the chakra that spreads throughout the world."

Shuimu also said with relief. The ability of seniors to notice this shows that their worries are not unreasonable.

The ninja group has emerged because of chakra, and the root cause of its overall decline is likely to fall on chakra.

"But it is difficult for us to confirm this." Jiraiya said with a headache. "There are many statements about the origin of chakra, but no matter which one is the current situation in the ninja world, it is impossible to avoid the Six Paths of Immortals. Unfortunately, the information passed down is not enough to confirm our guess."

Not to mention the information passed down, even if Mizuki knew more, he would not get the truth. Is it because Kaguya Otsutsuki's extremely sealed problem or what the Six Paths of Immortals did, they are still in the fog.

If the overall decline of the ninja world in the past was still progressing step by step, then it has been significantly cut off in the past ten years. Before the son of Destiny who came into being and his partner grew up, there were really not many masters who could make their debut.

"If there were any major changes in more than ten years, would it be him?"

The thing that Mizuki knew about the most recent influence was undoubtedly the Reincarnation Eye opened by Uchiha Madara, and then he communicated with the spirit of the heretic golem, the divine tree of the heretic golem, and the heretic golem eventually became the root of the turmoil in the ninja world.

"If Uchiha Madara accelerates this process, then time will be right. But is this a coincidence?"

"Hey, what did you think of?" Jiraiya, who saw Shuimu being distracted, couldn't help but interrupt Shuimu's thinking.

"Nothing." Mizuki smiled apologetically and asked, "If there is any existence that can absorb a large amount of chakra, which will reduce the power level of the ninja world?"

"Isn't this obvious? It's definitely true." Jiraiya said: "Whether it's human chakra, immortal chakra, tailed beast chakra, or even natural energy, in essence, they are actually the same things, they are just a combination of spiritual will and vitality, but different chakras represent different lives."

"What does natural energy represent?" Shuimu has been holding on to this question for a long time.

"All things have spirits. If all existences in the world are regarded as flesh and blood, what's strange about the "chakra" of natural energy that represents the will of the world?"

"Since that's the case, what's the chakra that we humans, even wise high-level psychic beasts, are they all part of nature?"
