The land where Peach Blossom Spring is located, check the box.
"Because of the protection of the barrier, Peach Blossom Spring is isolated from the world. Even though the footprints of ninjas have spread all over this land, the whereabouts of Peach Blossom Spring are still a mystery."
"I found the Peach Blossom Spring, and then built the Dark Ninja Village there."
Madara asked curiously, "The treasure land of the Six Paths Ninja Sect? Isolated from the world for a thousand years, how did you find it?"
Chen said, "I once had a master who was a successor of the Asura lineage of the Six Paths Ninja Sect. I met him when I was at the lowest point in my life, and he was my great benefactor."
"I owe my success today to his teachings, and even the clues to Peach Blossom Spring were left to me by him before his death."
Oh? Chen's master?
Ban had already gained some understanding of Chen's way of doing things.
He has long played the role of a witness through 'Boyyasu'.
That meant he didn't have much real combat experience.
But judging from his movements and awareness during that brief exchange the night before last, he's definitely a ruthless character!
It must be related to the training he received from that master, right?
"To be your master, you must be someone of considerable talent, right?"
"No, he was a wandering monk, nameless and without a surname; I just called him 'Zen Master.'"
"Then he must be very strong, right?"
I knew Madara would ask that. Chen, with his back to Madara, chuckled to himself.
"Not particularly strong. The Zen Master doesn't know any ninjutsu. He and his ancestors have always adhered to the principles of the Asura lineage of ninjutsu, which is not to be misled by the various 'techniques' of the Indra lineage, but to firmly focus on the cultivation of the 'mind'. The unique 'meditation' skill that arose from this is the only thing the Zen Master has devoted his life to studying. He passed this skill on to me."
Zen meditation is another name for meditation.
Ha... So it turns out he's just a monk who only knows how to meditate.
"Indra's reincarnation," Madara thought dismissively.
"I've heard of meditation too. It's just a technique for holding your breath and entering a state of tranquility. Ninjas need to enter a state of tranquility to refine their chakra."
Chen Ping said calmly, "No, the kind of tranquility a ninja enters when refining chakra is not even the beginning of meditation. True meditation is very profound. At the highest level, one can enter 'Samadhi'."
"What good is entering Samadhi?"
“In Samadhi, I can fight against ‘imaginary enemies’ and allow my body, mind and consciousness to grow simultaneously, comparable to actual combat. I started practicing with a Zen master at the age of thirteen and spent three years before finally achieving Samadhi at the age of sixteen.”
"Sixteen years have passed since then, and for about six years in between, I devoted myself to accompanying my eldest daughter Xue through her childhood."
"Ten years, the time I truly spent practicing Samadhi was ten years, but in those ten years, my combat experience was equivalent to hundreds of years, and hundreds of years of intense battles comparable to those of the Warring States period!"
"!?" Chen's casual description caused both Madara and Obito to show expressions of astonishment and bewilderment.
"Is that even possible? Can time be accelerated in Samadhi? Besides, isn't the imaginary enemy something you created in your own mind? You're a novice yourself, so what kind of formidable opponent could you possibly have in mind?"
Chen smiled and explained, "Uncle Madara, before entering Samadhi, I had the same thoughts as you. But after truly entering it, I realized that its profound mysteries cannot be described by those who have not personally experienced them. I can only say that the ninjutsu of the Six Paths is indeed quite something."
"No wonder Ashura and Indra fought so fiercely over the right to inherit the Ninja Sect back then."
His eyes sparkled. He couldn't comprehend Samadhi now, but he understood one thing.
"Is this why he has such a limited number of battlefield experience yet possesses such seasoned skill?"
"However, the reason I regard the Zen master as my benefactor is not simply because he taught me Samadhi."
At the end of the mist, the dust settled in front of a dead end formed by the mountain wall.
He raised his hand to form a secret seal, and with a roar, a door appeared.
That is the only entrance to Peach Blossom Spring, the Gate of Peach Blossom Spring.
"Creak!" Chen put down his hand and pushed open the door to Peach Blossom Spring.
Light shone through the gradually opening door, and then Chen's low voice rang out.
"Uncle Madara, Obito, you probably don't believe me. I used to be a very eccentric and irritable person, which even led to the death of my parents..."
Chapter 14 Past events
Under a clear blue sky, with lush vegetation, the scenery here is exceptionally beautiful, truly deserving of the name "Peach Blossom Spring."
Madara's Impure World Reincarnation retained his 'Sage Arts', and he immediately realized that what made this place so special was not just the scenery of Peach Blossom Spring.
"Such rich natural energy..."
Even though they only crossed one door, the concentration of natural energy differed by several times.
"The natural energy of the legendary three sacred immortal sites—Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest—is nothing more than this."
"My Hidden Ninja Village is nestled in this secluded valley of paradise."
As Chen spoke, he led the group along the ancient stone path through the mountains and forests.
Ban asked, "Chen, you said you used to be irritable and violent, and that you caused the death of your parents. What happened?"
"..." Chen lowered his gaze, and untold memories surged in his mind.
A person's character is shaped by their upbringing.
In the real world, Chen's real name is Lin Chen. He is a left-behind child, whose parents went out to work to make a living, leaving him in the care of his grandparents in the countryside.
My grandparents are old and in poor health. The only thing they can do is give him food so he won't starve.
There was no companionship or education whatsoever, which led him to develop a self-centered and unrestrained personality at a young age.
Later, he attended a junior high school that primarily enrolled left-behind children, surrounded by troubled teenagers whose childhoods were disrupted and whose education had failed.
Fortunately, Chen was not inherently bad, and he was also intelligent enough to distinguish right from wrong and good from evil, so he did not immediately follow the bad path.
However, this happy period didn't last long. In his second year of junior high school, his grandparents passed away one after another, and his parents were busy making a living and neglected to care for him.
Chen felt an unprecedented loneliness... It was from that moment that Chen met a group of bad kids and began to fall into the trap of depravity in the eyes of teachers and parents.
In fact, he knew that whether he stood in the shoes of his grandparents or his parents, they were not wrong.
Was he the one at fault? Perhaps! He lacked self-regulation skills and couldn't overcome loneliness on his own; he was wrong! He lacked self-discipline and couldn't be the obedient and sensible child in the eyes of teachers and parents; he was wrong!
He knew he was wrong, but he only compounded his mistakes!
Later, he became the only graduate of that mediocre middle school to be admitted to the top class of a key municipal high school with a score among the top 100 in the city.
Although the ending is good.
However... his bad habits—being unruly, irritable, impulsive, and prone to resorting to violence to solve problems—have deeply permeated his personality.
With this ticking time bomb in his head, Chen began his high school life.
The heavy academic pressure of high school forced Chen to devote most of his energy to studying.
By chance, he became obsessed with Naruto, an anime whose main themes are battle and passion.
At first, he was only attracted by the gorgeous hand seals and dazzling ninjutsu effects. Gradually, he was moved by the bonds of love, hate and grudges between ninjas and longed for them.
"How wonderful it would be if I could be born in the world of Naruto," this escapist thought pops into my mind from time to time.
Although he is now considered a good student by his parents and teachers.
But a deep sense of alienation from the real world always lingered in his heart.
Oh, and that 'time bomb' exploded just before the college entrance exam.
A girl whom Chen had never met before, and her boyfriend, a social outcast, told him that after evening self-study, Chen cornered her in the girls' restroom and sexually assaulted her.
Without saying a word, the thug led his men into the classroom and, in front of the teacher and classmates, beat and humiliated Chen.
Chen's reputation was ruined from then on. A top student was accused of molesting girls in the women's restroom. The school, considering his good grades, gave him a disciplinary warning and placed him on probation.
His classmates kept their distance from him, and even pointed at him and gossiped about him.
The teacher told him directly that he was very disappointed, that it was a waste of such good academic performance, and that he would be a scumbag in society in the future.
When Chen confronted the girl privately about why she had slandered him, she was applying rouge to her face in a small mirror while arrogantly telling Chen that it was all because he looked like her ex-boyfriend who had cheated on her.
Without saying a word, Chen took out his compass, unscrewed the sharp needle, and plunged it directly into the girl's eyeball beneath her fluttering eyelashes...
Pull it out, and amidst screams, stab it relentlessly into that face, until the stainless steel needle tip bent against the woman's cheekbone...
Then, urged on by ambulances and police sirens, and illuminated by the lights from the mobile phone cameras held up by the teachers and students watching, the scene unfolded.
Because of a moment of impulsiveness, he has ruined the rest of his life.
But he has no regrets.
With a hint of guilt towards his parents, Chen pressed the bent compass needle, along with its entire support leg, into his temple.
This forceful approach pays tribute to that sense of alienation from the world.
And the world seemed to 'return the favor' to him!
In the real world, Lin Chen's body turned to ashes and returned to the village where he lived with his grandparents when he was a child, but his soul crossed the dimensional barrier and came to the Naruto world that he longed for!
After ten months of darkness and chaos in the amniotic fluid of the mother's womb.
Uchiha Chen... was born in a remote village in the Land of Lightning.
It was as if God was making up for everything he had lost!
His parents gave him meticulous care, making up for the lack of parental love he had!
After Chen was born, a high-ranking monk in the temple told Chen's fortune.
They said that the couple was destined to have no children, but this child was destined to have a brother!
Two years later, Chen's younger brother Jin was born, and the family of four lived happily together.
Chen felt he had found his home and vowed to protect this hard-won happiness.
But things don't always go perfectly. The small mountain village where Chen's family lived was very hostile to outsiders.
The parents hid in this village under assumed names to escape their enemies. To take care of their two young children, they had to compromise in every way.
The personality that Chen developed in reality also came into this new body along with his soul.
This is the world of ninjas, free from the constraints of reality, and a breeding ground for violence.
But in order not to put his father and mother in a difficult position, Chen made up his mind to endure it.
No matter how much the locals humiliated, insulted, or even beat him, Chen gritted his teeth and reminded himself to endure it! This small mountain village could only confine him for a while... There was a wider world waiting for him outside!
Until that day, when his younger brother Jin was bitten by jackals that those people had maliciously lured there... he almost lost his life!
The violent beast within Chen, suppressed by tenderness for many years, finally lost all control.
He only remembered grabbing a kunai from his father's treasured ninja tool bag and rushing out. The punches and kicks that he usually couldn't dodge didn't land on him at all.
When they came to their senses, there were already twenty-seven corpses on the ground.
And in each of his eyes, there were two more tomoe.
Just like before, after venting his violent emotions, he felt relieved... but he implicated his parents and younger brother, and for the next two years, they began a life of wandering and fleeing!
The fact that he was born in the Land of Lightning but had Uchiha blood was eventually discovered by his sworn enemy, the Blood Pond Clan!
Moreover, the one who came seeking revenge was the strongest expert of the Blood Pond Clan, Miyajo En, the father of Chino who made Sasuke suffer in "Sasuke: The True Light Chronicle"!
The father and mother chose to distract Miyajo En, buying time for their two children to escape!
Blood Dragon Eye is an extremely brutal power that traps the opponent in an illusion, then manipulates their blood to turn them into a 'human bomb'.
Chen will never forget the moment he witnessed his parents' deaths... His tears flowed from his chin, mingling with the blood and flesh of his father and mother!
The dark and oppressive emotions caused the two tomoe to spin, instantly jumping to the Kaleidoscope!
That year... he was ten years old.
From then on, Chen was completely consumed by hatred, transforming into a tyrannical Asura. He began to hunt down the Blood Pool clan all over the world!
He spent three years wiping out all the survivors of the Blood Pool Clan, along with Miyajo En, and completed his revenge!
At that moment, he truly realized that so-called revenge is ultimately a form of self-satisfaction. The dead will not find any solace, and those around them will also suffer.
During the three years of revenge, even his crybaby, kind-hearted younger brother Jin, who was the complete opposite of his violent nature and gentler than anyone else, awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in despair when he misjudged his own death during his battle with Miyajo En!
Leaving aside the past in the real world, when Chen recounted this part to Madara and Obito, he said with deep emotion, "That guy Jin didn't even know until the very end that I deliberately let him fall into the Blood Dragon Eye genjutsu to provoke him into awakening his Sharingan..."
