Chapter 53: Unexpected Meeting
Ars stayed in the Land of Hot Springs for six months. Since he has no particular goal, he enjoys an extravagant life.
When he sees something that catches his eye, he buys without a second thought. Except for being born as the son of the emperor in the first reincarnation, the family background of life in the other reincarnations was only mediocre, and even poor.
So Ars is so happy to have so much wealth that he thinks money is just a number.
A world's gold resources could not be underestimated!
However, he ended up feeling bored after taking too long a vacation. And today, he decided to leave the Land of Hot Springs.
"If only there was internet and games, I could be locked in my room for decades."
Ars misses the entertainment of modern civilization.
After 10 minutes of walking, his footsteps stopped.
"There are no people anymore, don't hide like a mouse."
Suddenly three men appeared surrounding Ars.
"Not bad, you can notice our presence."
One of the men with a scar over his right eye spoke in a mocking tone.
"What do you want?"
Ars had already guessed the other party's goal.
"Hand over all your gold before leaving, otherwise…"
The man licked his sword to intimidate.
"So this is a robbery, huh… It seems my recent hedonic actions have attracted greed." Ars rubbed his chin while muttering.
"Boss, this person is an imbecile, he is not aware of the situation."
The burly man wielding an ax thought their target was a fool for showing no fear.
"Boss, there's no need to talk to him so much. We'll just take the gold." The other man was annoyed because of Ars' indifferent attitude.
The scarred man nodded, pointed his sword forward, and threatened.
"Choose treasure or life? Forget it, seeing you're so stupid, I'll give you a painless death."
In the eyes of Shinobi, people who couldn't use Ninjutsu were no different from ants, which they could step on at any moment. Especially in this era, where the five big villages have not been created and use the law of the jungle.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk... Hagoromo, your decision to teach Ninshu to humans was a mistake."
"You..."
Before they got angry, they saw Ars wave his hand, and a ball of fire burned them.
"ARGGHHH!!!"
The screams of the three people didn't last long before their bodies were reduced to ashes, and only the burning ground was left.
"Well, where's my next destination?"
Ars continued on his way without looking back.
...
Time passed like flowing water, unknowingly 800 years had passed!
Ninjutsu is increasingly mastered by many people, and they form their own clans or factions.
When a person has power, their ambition i is greater.
Even in the world before Ars reincarnated, human history was filled with wars.
As a result, the world fell into war or better known as the Warring States Period (Sengoku).
Small countries and factions are constantly at war with each other for more power, land, and influence among the regions.
The period was filled with endless violence and bloodshed, with each country hiring Shinobi mercenaries and pinning them against one another.
The constant bloodshed further fueled the hatred and animosity between the warring clans as the constant fighting between the same clans led to personal vendettas.
Ars had been a witness to this world's historical development and was the only person who had survived from the Rikudo Sennin era besides Gamamaru, the White Snake Sage, and Katsuyu.
He has also met directly with the nine Bijuu scattered around the world when he was wandering.
Through that encounter, he understood that the energy present in the clone was equivalent to the Rokubi Chakra.
He has also fought each of the Bijuu due to their aggressive nature, especially the Kyubi.
Even though Ars wasn't in his prime, and his energy count was weaker than the Shichibi, Hachibi, and Kyubi, he still beat them.
After all, the amount of energy did not determine how strong someone was.
Isn't Uchiha Madara's chakra insignificant compared to the chakras of the Kyubi and other Bijuu? But in the end, Madara was able to defeat and control them.
"Haaa…. Is my talent that bad? Why is understanding the Space Scriptures more difficult than our Physique Scriptures? It's been 200 years, but little progress!"
Sitting by the river, Ars soaked his feet in the clear water and muttered incoherently.
"It seems my talent in the spatial elements is mediocre. If not for my immortality, I would have died before understanding anything."
"Forget it, what I lack the most is time. Anyway I have to master the Cryptic Space before moving on to the next world."
Ars had obtained two scrolls after killing Lin Fan, namely the Void Imperfection Physique chapter of the Physique Scripture, and the Cryptic Space of the Space Scripture.
The Void Imperfection Physique had reached Half Completion, and he could leave the seal at any time. But after careful thought, he chose to continue cultivating, and decided to cultivate the Cryptic Space.
Previous experience had taught him to be more careful. He didn't want the strongest existence in his destination world to turn against him because of his uninvited arrival.
Hence, he decided to cultivate the Cryptic Space instead of leaving. After all, the moon's environment is very suitable for cultivating one of the chapters of the Space Scripture.
If he managed to cultivate the Cryptic Space, then it would be possible to hide himself from everyone, not even the heavens would be able to detect him, and he would not have to worry about being considered an invader.
"Unknowingly I'm already 1048 years old, even older than Rin."
*Tap Tap Tap*
There was the sound of footsteps approaching from behind.
Ars regained consciousness from his reverie, looking back, he saw a boy wearing black kimono-like clothes coming.
"What are you doing here alone, uncle?" Ask the marketing boy.
At first he was wary of the stranger in front of him. But after not sensing any chakra from the other party, he was relieved it was just an ordinary person.
*💢*
"Nonsense! Who are you calling uncle, brat! Can't you see I'm still in my youth? 20 years old forever!"
Ars recognized the boy in front of him, after calming the shock in his heart, he refused to be called uncle even though he was older than any ancestor.
"Tsk, you get angry just because of such a small thing. You are a narrow-minded adult."
The boy clicked his tongue and had no intention of apologizing. Then he sat not far from Ars and also put his feet in the water.
"You're a rude brat yourself." Ars replied.
"Hmph, bickering with a child, so immature." The boy sneered.
"You… Whatever. By the way, what's your name, brat?"
"Huh, why should I tell you my name?"
"So you want me to call you a brat? You seem to really like it."
"😐"
"Madara, that's my name. Who are you, uncle?"
"My name is Ars."
"Weird name..."
*Tap Tap Tap*
Another sound of footsteps was heard.
They both turned their heads together and saw a boy Madara's age appear raising his hand.
"I just happened to be passing by." The boy showed a friendly smile.
"Who are you?" Madara asked warily when he sensed the other party had chakra.
"My name is Hashirama, I can't tell my first name." Answered Hashirama.
Ars watched the interactions between Indra and Asura's reincarnations in this generation. In fact, this wasn't the first time he had met the reincarnations of the two of them
During these 800 years, he had met twice, and this was the fourth time.
(Huuu... I met a troublesome person.) Ars thought.
