Chapter 139 - True History

In a land of beauty that surpasses all other realms, inhabited by many souls, colorful flowers, fruits, and adorned with beautiful trees where strange pure white birds come to rest and flies around the crystal clear sky and most important this land doesn't seem to have any limit like it is constantly expanding, this is the Pure Land.

In an isolated zone where only trees are present, a bright white human-sized cocoon can be seen shining brightly, the figure of an old man can be seen sitting on a nearby tree looking at the cocoon with an interested expression.

He is a tall and pale-skinned man, who has deep wrinkles and a strong jawline showing his elderly age, he also has spiky, shoulder-length, pale brown hair, with a chin-length, braided lock hanging in front of his left ear, sports a goatee tapered down to his waist, has a pair of horn-like protrusions extending from either side of his forehead and pupilless white eyes.

He also had a red Rinnegan-like marking in the center of his forehead and wears a white, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatamas around a high collar, beneath which, he wore a necklace which was also made up of six black magatamas, and on the back of his kimono was a larger, black Rinnegan marking with a pattern of nine magatamas arranged in three rows of three beneath it, he is, of course, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the man whose family is always in Ren's curses.

All of a sudden some cracks appeared all over the cocoon, and soon after it shattered like glass, then the sound of the loud voice of Ren yelling "For that fucking long ass goatee of Hagoromo, that fucking hurt!!!" then the figure of Ren can once again be seen, nothing much seems changed only his hair is slightly longer, and he seems a little bit taller than before, but the inside is totally different, his Chakra level reached a terrifying level, even more than Kurama, and is compressed so much the that the classic blue color changed to pure white, and even more, he doesn't feel the Pure Land rejecting him anymore, in fact, he feels that as long as he stays here, his Chakra will recover 10 times faster.

Just as Ren was checking his body, he heard an old voice that "Byre, ðu becnǣwst, þætte ðu scolde ne wiergnes elra beard? (Young man, you know, that you shouldn't curse another beard?)" and the only thing that Ren can answer is "Can you speak Japanese, please, or any other still alive language please?" and Hagoromo "Melior est?".

Then Ren turns and looks at Hagoromo then says "Just go forward of another century or two and we are good" and so with a totally serious expression he says "Yo bro, you dig now?" and Ren "Oh hell no! Can't you just imitate my way of speaking? Come on it isn't so hard!" and once again Hagoromo says "I know, but I was just messing with you, this is a little payback for all the time you use my Mother, mine and my descendant names for your curses... It's not nice you know".

But Ren replies "You should be flattered instead, this means that I think of you and your family as the highest authority... But why are you here? Shouldn't you check on your sons' reincarnation, that for once do not try to kill each other, fight against your... what can we consider Zetsu... Your brother? Half-brother? By the way, how is going the war? It should be too awful after all he only has the White Zetsu, and maybe some Hollow in the mix...".

Hagoromo shakes his head and says "It isn't going as well as you think... It's not just some Hollow that joined forces with Zetsu, but an entire swarm, led by 5 Adjuchas, 4 Vasto Lorde, and even worse there is an Arrancar above all of them, luckily, you were cautious enough to warn the others about their existence so they weren't totally unprepared, and were able to kill 1 Adjuchas, the weakest Vasto Lorde, and seal another one...".

And as Ren was stunned by what he heard, Hagoromo continued "As to why I'm here now, It is to see the birth of the first Shinigami after thousands of years, even more so, as this one is still alive and has a body, instead of being a soul... It seems that this world once again found a way to bring back the balance that was once broken by mother...".

Hearing that brings Ren's focus back and soon he asks "Wait!? The Shinigamis really existed!!? I was only bullshitting to explain the existence of my powers!!!", Hagoromo looks at the clear sky in the distance as if reminding something and says "Yes, they really existed... The noblest souls who sacrificed everything to keep the balance of the world and protect the innocent... Did you know that when a soul chose to become a Shinigami it loses the chance of reincarnating forever? Instead when they "die" that is truly the end for them and if they are as powerful as you are, they are sent to Hell to maintain the balance there as Jailers, Judges, Punishers, and Executors of Wicked Souls..."

Then Hagoromo let out a sigh and says "Unfortunately, my mother, in desperate need for power, broke the balance eating the Chakra Fruit, the God Tree flooded this world that only had Natural Energy and Spiritual Energy with Chakra and contaminated everything... At first, I thought that it was a good thing, as the Hollow were unable to adapt to it and were forced back to the Impure Land, and so the fight against the Hollow and the Shinigami didn't include the Material World anymore, then Mother's fear for her clansman pushed her to take even more drastic measures, first she caught a Hollow and experimented on it to give him the power of the Shinigamis using the Chakra as a medium, to create a powerful army, but the being that came out of it was too strong...So I, my brother, and she fought it off together, pushing it back to the Impure Land where we sealed him so that he could never escape, and we even sealed that realm, so that no other Hollow could ever come out".

Ren's mouth now was wide open as Hagoromo was releasing one bomb after the other, and sometimes even a nuke as he continues to explain "But that decision had grave conseguences, with the balance broken, the world to keep sustaining itself had to change, so it flooded the other dimension with Chakra, adapting them to it, to the normal souls here nothing changed, but the Shinigami were unable to adapt the change and were all killed by it, even the ones in Hell, meanwhile the Hollows with their corrupted nature, where able to witstand the change, and adapted to it gaining Chakra bodies, fortunately their realm was still sealed so they weren't a threat, after that event, Mother chose another method, and created the White Zetsu, but that was too much for me and my brother, the Chakra Fruit corrupted her too much, our caring and loving mother was gone, so we chose to seal her, but the damage was done, the world was now caged by the Chakra forced to adapt to it, but that took a lot of power from it, power used to keep its most dangerous realm closed, Hell, whose gate were slowly starting to open, and as the Wicked Souls were now free from their Jailer, dooming this world to destuction in a far away future...".

Then he looked at Ren and says "At least until a boy was born with the power of the Shinigami inside him that rejected the Ninjutsu created from the Ninshu I gave to humanity in the hope to bring peace, and with his birth, the world thrummed to life once again, and as he grew stronger, so did the world that was caged by the Chakra, the seal on the Impure Land was broken, and Hollows once again took their place in the Balance, even more, the boy who grew to become a powerful young man, used his gift to keep doing the duty of the Shinigamis, he even created a group to help him... and so the gates of Hell were once again suppressed by the World".
