Chapter 609 The Ninja World and Ninja Sect

Seeing that Orochimaru had finally realized what was happening, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded approvingly and, without beating around the bush, said directly:

Orochimaru, I actually understand your goals to some extent.

Actually, the Otsutsuki clan is more suitable for you than the Uchiha clan.

The reason I sought you out is because I am also interested in the Otsutsuki clan and wish to join forces with you to investigate their background.

Orochimaru, however, did not show much interest after hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words. After licking his lips, he said thoughtfully:

"Kyuu-kun, you are now a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, so don't joke with me."

At this point, Orochimaru glanced at Guren beside him before continuing:

"It's not that I'm not interested in the Otsutsuki clan, but rather that I don't even know if their existence is real or not."

Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths lived a thousand years ago.

If the Otsutsuki clan truly existed, with their powerful bloodline, how could they possibly have produced only one Sage of Six Paths in the past thousand years?

You must know, time is the cruelest thing.

I believe that even if the Otsutsuki clan existed a thousand years ago, they would have been wiped out by the passage of time.

Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't surprised by what Orochimaru said.

After all, even with Orochimaru's knowledge, he couldn't understand the Otsutsuki clan that roamed the universe. Just as one cannot understand ice when encountering a summer insect, how could a mayfly, which lives only a day and dies at dusk, possibly comprehend the way of life of a human being?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head slightly, then gave Orochimaru a meaningful look before lazily saying:

"What if I told you that even the most ordinary member of the Otsutsuki clan has a lifespan of at least several thousand years?"

As soon as Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, even Orochimaru, with his deep composure, immediately showed a shocked expression. He took several steps towards Uchiha Kakuzan, as if seeking confirmation, and asked:

"A lifespan of several thousand years? How is that possible?"

After speaking, before Uchiha Kagakuyama could answer, Orochimaru shook his head firmly and continued:

"That's impossible. Such a race could not possibly exist in this world."

It's important to understand that while Orochimaru's strength wasn't particularly high, he was the person with the deepest and most comprehensive understanding of the entire world.

Therefore, after hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's exaggerated words, Orochimaru was only slightly tempted before rejecting them.

Because in Orochimaru's research, there is no genetic map of this kind of creature, nor its growth environment, in this world.

However, Orochimaru was already very interested at this moment. After rejecting Uchiha Kakuzan's words, he stared at him intently, as if hoping that Uchiha Kakuzan could produce evidence about the existence of the Otsutsuki clan so that he could be proven wrong.

Uchiha Kakuzan did not disappoint Orochimaru. After hearing what he said, a smile appeared on his lips, and he continued:

"What if the Otsutsuki clan never belonged to our world, but were from beyond the heavens?"

After Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, he ignored the shocked Orochimaru and continued to explain:

"Orochimaru, let me tell you the whole story about the origins of the Otsutsuki clan."

Otherwise, you probably wouldn't believe it.

Uchiha Kaguyama then briefly recounted the story of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths to Orochimaru.

After a long while, Orochimaru finally came to his senses and murmured in a very complicated tone:

"So, this is the origin of the ninja world and the Ninja Clan..."
