Chapter 307: Uchiha Descendant hidden in History - Akihara Kagura
"Sage of Six Paths..."
"Did he create the world for this reason?"
Most ninjas have heard stories of the Sage of Six Paths creating the world or founding ninjutsu. As a legendary figure in the ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths seemed omnipotent.
However, no one had heard that before the Sage of Six Paths Otsutsuki Hagoromo created the world, he conducted an apocalyptic event to conceal a history of patricide and fratricide!
This is a subversion!
Who would have thought that the god who created the world, the Sage of Six Paths, was also the one who destroyed the previous era? This revelation left many ninjas who revered the Sage of Six Paths devastated!
"How... is this possible?"
Uzumaki Naruto widened his eyes in disbelief.
In the stories he had heard about the Sage of Six Paths, Jiraiya always told him that the Sage of Six Paths founded ninjutsu and established an ancient era of mutual understanding...
But...Before the Sage of Six Paths created the world...
Did he conduct an apocalypse to conceal history?
"..."
The expressions of the other Konoha ninjas were also not looking good.
They had never imagined that the Sage of Six Paths would have done something like destroying the world. Akihara Kagura doing such a thing was actually not without precedent!
Clap, clap, clap...
Suddenly, applause broke out on the scene.
Akihara Kagura seemed somewhat excited, and his eyes were filled with joy: "The Sage of Six Paths did this, so it seems my chosen path is correct!"
"Is that so?"
Uchiha Madara's mouth curled into a cold smile as if he had heard a very interesting story: "According to this information, the Sage of Six Paths isn't as clean as we thought... Do you want to learn his methods to recreate this world?"
"At least the Sage of Six Paths's actions prove that apocalypse and creation are feasible, right?"
Akihara Kagura chuckled and glanced at Black Zetsu beside him: "Black Zetsu is the will of the Sage of Six Paths. He must be well-versed in how the Sage of Six Paths conducted the apocalypse and creation in ancient times, right?"
"I said, I am Kaguya's will..."
Black Zetsu gritted his teeth in hatred, even taking the opportunity to blacken the Sage of Six Paths: "Kaguya didn't destroy the ninja world like that guy; Kaguya is the Rabbit Goddess who protected the ninja world!"
"Hmph!"
Uchiha Madara sneered, scoffing at Black Zetsu's words: "You always pretend to be someone else's will; who knows if it's true or not..."
As Uchiha Madara spoke, he squinted his eyes: "The historical relics of the Hyuga clan and the records of the Senju clan, and the inscriptions on the Uchiha clan's stele all have some discrepancies. Which is the real history?"
Just the relationship of the Otsutsuki clan...
The Senju clan and the Hyuga clan have huge conflicts!
However, in true history, which is the real one!
"This is the real history!"
Black Zetsu naturally stood on the side of the Hyuga clan!
Although the Hyuga clan's historical relic had issues, the Sage of Six Paths did not conduct an apocalypse, and there was no fratricide...
But...
This was a good thing.
Because this relic destroyed the reputation of the Sage of Six Paths!
Even though it was fake!
But it was beneficial to him!
Because it exonerated Otsutsuki Kaguya, severely blackened the Sage of Six Paths Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, making Black Zetsu secretly pleased!
Moreover...
No matter how absurd this record was...
It was more reliable than the Senju clan's bark!
At least this wooden sign accurately recorded the relationship between the members of the Otsutsuki family, rather than some nonsense about Otsutsuki Kaguya being the youngest daughter of the Sage of Six Paths...
"History is like a young girl at the mercy of others."
Akihara Kagura squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "Black Zetsu has modified history once, so it's not impossible that he modified the Hyuga clan's relic..."
"Don't randomly slander my innocence..."
Black Zetsu quickly retorted, saying sternly: "There are others in the ninja world secretly modifying history! The Senju clan's bark must have been modified by someone! And I have never seen this Hyuga clan's wooden sign before. Where did this wooden sign come from?"
"It came with the Senju clan's bark."
Akihara Kagura turned his palm, looking in the direction of Hyuga Hinata, and said casually: "Shouldn't there be some other information inside?"
"Yes..."
Hyuga Hinata could only nod.
If she didn't want to cause the death of Hyuga Neji, as someone who had read the Hyuga clan's historical records, she should read out all the contents inside...
If she omitted some content and Hyuga Neji did not, both she and Hyuga Neji might die!
Hyuga Hinata frowned and continued to read the information on the wooden sign. Because the wooden sign was too small, it became increasingly difficult to read its contents through perspective.
"As a loser, Otsutsuki Hamura fled to the moon... wanting to release his mother inside the moon... attempting to use his mother's power to seek revenge on his elder brother..."
"Unfortunately... everything was within Otsutsuki Hagoromo's expectations..."
"Kaguya's emergence... requires the Ten-Tails and immense chakra…"
?tsutsuki Hagoromo, to prevent the possibility of Kaguya's resurrection, divided the chakra of the Ten-Tails into the nine tailed beasts and dispersed the chakra throughout the ninja world.
"This completely cut off the possibility of revenge from his brother and mother..."
"!!!"
Black Zetsu was suddenly shocked.
This document actually recorded Kaguya's story!
What stunned Black Zetsu even more was that the history of the Hy?ga clan was recorded in such detail and objectivity!
The Hy?ga clan's wooden tablets...
Are indeed much better than the Senju clan's tree bark records!
Uchiha Madara listened silently, nodding to himself: "The Sage of Six Paths divided the tailed beasts and dispersed the chakra to prevent his mother from seeking revenge..."
"Is there more?"
Akihara Kagura lightly tapped his arm with his finger, his gaze still fixed on Hy?ga Hinata: "Is there no record of the reason for the existence of these wooden tablets?"
"There is..."
Hy?ga Hinata saw the content below.
It recorded... the origin of the Hy?ga clan.
"After many years..."
"A descendant of ?tsutsuki Hamura quietly came to live on earth... wanting... to reclaim the rule over the ninja world... this lineage... called themselves Hy?ga..."
"!!!"
The Konoha ninjas were suddenly shocked!
The Hy?ga clan is actually the descendants of the losers in the brothers' war?
The Hy?ga clan's appearance was to seize control from the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths. So, does the current Hy?ga clan still harbor intentions of seizing power?
Each ANBU ninja exchanged glances; this matter about the Hy?ga clan's history must be reported to Lady Tsunade!
"Hmph, I see."
Uchiha Madara snorted disdainfully, unconcerned about the Hy?ga clan, knowing they had no strong combat power.
"Indeed!"
Black Zetsu nodded and immediately said, "This is the true history. The Hy?ga clan are indeed descendants of ?tsutsuki Hamura, possessing Byakugan like Kaguya..."
This is the real history!
What on earth are the Senju clan's tree bark records, which absurdly place ?tsutsuki Kaguya alongside Indra and Asura, considering the Sage of Six Paths as the ancestor of the three great ninja clans!
The Hy?ga clan's records are the true history!
This is the objective history!
This is the history I want!
Although this historical record is also very strange, it is the history I want!
Black Zetsu had roughly guessed that this history might have been recorded by the descendants of ?tsutsuki Hamura. Those descendants wanted to gain control of the ninja world, so they left this record of the brothers' dispute from the Sage of Six Paths!
Moreover...
This history harshly criticized the Sage of Six Paths! Who else would do this except the descendants of ?tsutsuki Hamura who wanted to occupy the ninja world?
"The Uchiha and Senju clans are extremely powerful..."
"The Hy?ga clan... lurks in the darkness..."
"An elder of the Hy?ga clan... observed a type of chakra... after three generations of observation... his descendants confirmed one thing... the Uchiha clan... possesses an extremely powerful chakra that is passed down through generations..."
"After two more generations of observation..."
"Within the Senju clan..."
"The same powerful chakra is also passed down through generations..."
"To reclaim the rule... it is necessary to destroy these two chakras..."
"!!!"
Black Zetsu's heart trembled.
Such things were recorded here? Even the matter of Indra and Asura's chakra reincarnation was observed by the Hy?ga clan!
"Three generations observing the Uchiha... two generations observing the Senju..."
When Uchiha Madara talked about these things, he even developed a bit of respect for the Hy?ga clan, just for spending several generations' time to confirm one thing...
The Hy?ga clan...
Indeed lived up to the name of once being a great clan alongside them!
"Black Zetsu, you seem to know these things, don't you?"
Akihara Kagura's gaze fell on Black Zetsu, whose figure was slightly trembling, and he smiled: "The most important thing for us is to be honest with each other, right?"
"Speak!"
Uchiha Madara coldly looked at Black Zetsu, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes: "What secrets are hidden in this?"
"Indeed."
"I do know these things."
Black Zetsu nodded and spoke in a deep voice, "It is true that the history recorded on the bark of the Senju clan includes a war between the brothers Indra of the Uchiha clan and Asura of the Senju clan. Indra's and Asura's chakra have been reincarnating and fighting continuously, their chakra passing down to their descendants and perpetuating the conflict..."
"So..."
Akihara Kagura, seeming particularly interested in this history, chuckled lightly and asked, "The content recorded on the bark, Black Zetsu, you impersonated Indra's will, just as you did with Madara's will, to instigate their fight, correct?"
"Don't bring up irrelevant matters!"
A surge of anger suddenly rose within Uchiha Madara.
Black Zetsu's deception was something Uchiha Madara despised the most. It made him feel like a fool and a clown being toyed with, and just mentioning it infuriated him!
"Continue."
Akihara Kagura shrugged, looking at Hyuga Hinata, and continued, "Is there any more content, or does the record end there?"
"No... there is more..."
Hyuga Hinata shook her head, her voice gradually calming down: "... During the war... most of the elder's descendants perished... In the end, only one person was left... This person colluded with the Uchiha..."
"No need to continue."
Akihara Kagura interrupted Hyuga Hinata.
"Hmm?"
Both Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu's wandering eyes immediately focused on Akihara Kagura. Everyone present couldn't help but look at Akihara Kagura, wondering why he interrupted Hyuga Hinata at this moment.
"Continue!"
Uchiha Madara glanced at Akihara Kagura and then at Hyuga Hinata, coldly ordering, "Read out all the content!"
"Shut up!"
Akihara Kagura's figure instantly lunged toward Hyuga Hinata!
However, Uchiha Madara moved even faster, directly blocking Akihara Kagura and smirking, "It seems there's something recorded here you don't want us to know! Or... Akihara Kagura, is this historical record another trap you are trying to set?"
"Continue!"
While restraining Akihara Kagura, Uchiha Madara glanced at Hyuga Hinata, "Read out everything on it!"
After all, for Uchiha Madara...
He had nothing to lose now!
Whether Akihara Kagura had some plot or was genuinely trying to conceal something, Uchiha Madara didn't care. He was also very curious about what was recorded on the wooden tag!
"I..."
Hyuga Hinata raised her head in confusion.
At this moment, she didn't know whether she should continue reading.
"Go on, Hinata."
Uzumaki Naruto encouraged Hyuga Hinata, saying in a deep voice, "I also want to know the secret on it... I also want to know what Kagura is trying to hide!"
"Yes... Naruto."
Hyuga Hinata nodded quickly.
"!!!"
Akihara Kagura's eyes suddenly turned sharp!
However, Uchiha Madara remained unfazed, confronting him with a smile even appearing at the corners of his mouth, "Kid, it seems you really have secrets you don't want us to discover? The history of the Hyuga clan involves the Uchiha... and you don't want the subsequent content to be revealed... It seems you have hidden quite a lot..."
"..."
Nara Shikamaru from Team 10 had been observing the situation, his gaze falling on Hyuga Hinata, revealing a hint of concern.
"What's wrong, Shikamaru?"
Yamanaka Ino looked curiously at her companion.
"Secrets..."
Nara Shikamaru furrowed his brows, saying in a deep voice, "I suddenly have a bad feeling. This wooden tag was left by an elder of the Hyuga clan... So what was their purpose in leaving this wooden tag?"
Quickly.
Hyuga Hinata revealed the purpose.
Hyuga Hinata kept her head down, looking at the wooden tag, and continued to narrate the hidden story from history in a gentle voice.
"The power of the Uchiha clan lies in their eyes..."
"That Uchiha... stole the eyes of his older brother, the strongest among the Uchiha, from his corpse... and transplanted them into himself... thereby gaining eternal eye power..."
"The first thing that Uchiha, who gained eternal eye power, wanted to do was kill his co-conspirator... The elder's descendant couldn't escape death..."
"To avenge the betrayal by the ninja ally... and to prevent the ninja world from being destroyed... by the Uchiha with eternal eye power... the elder's descendant left this secret... and proposed a theory to defeat the eternal eye power... by combining the chakra of the Senju and Uchiha clans…"
"In order to avoid being discovered by the Uchiha with eternal Mangeky? Sharingan... the elder's descendants left the secret in the wooden tag... only the Byakugan can see this secret..."
"That's all there is."
Hyuga Hinata finished reading all the content.
"What's so unspeakable about this?"
Uchiha Madara sneered, speaking carelessly, "It's just a secret about the eternal Mangeky? Sharingan and the Rinnegan..."
What's so unspeakable about it?
Didn't both he and Akihara Kagura already know about this? In fact, quite a few people in the ninja world knew this secret, so was it necessary for Akihara Kagura to hide it?
Not only did Uchiha Madara not understand, but others also found it somewhat puzzling.
"..."
Akihara Kagura's face remained gloomy.
However, he suddenly chuckled, nodded along with Uchiha Madara's words, seemingly intending to brush off the topic. He nodded to himself, "You're right, there's no need to hide these matters..."
"No... that's not right..."
Nara Shikamaru was startled, suddenly realizing something. He spoke incredulously, "There is indeed a hidden secret in the last stories. The wooden tag is a secret... and the Uchiha in that story is the secret!"
"The Uchiha in that story... where is he now?"
Nara Shikamaru stared intently at Hyuga Hinata, questioning her in a deep voice, "Hinata, is there any other record about the Uchiha in that story?"
"No..."
Hyuga Hinata shook her head.
"Of course there isn't..."
Nara Shikamaru's hands trembled slightly as he spoke anxiously, "The creator of this wooden tag has been killed. He knew he would be killed and feared the secret within the tag would be discovered... So whose hands did this tag finally fall into?"
"Most likely the killer's..."
Akimichi Ch?ji frowned and gave a simple answer.
"The killer who got the wooden tag is the one who betrayed the alliance in the story..."
Nara Shikamaru looked tremblingly at Akihara Kagura, this clever young man barely able to believe his own judgment, "That killer's surname is Uchiha, possessing the bloodline power of the Sharingan..."
"..."
Everyone's gaze turned to Akihara Kagura.
Because Akihara Kagura, who brought the wooden tag this time, was the last owner of it.
Compared to others, the surviving Uchiha present had all seen Akihara Kagura activate the Sharingan before, and they finally understood Akihara Kagura's lineage!
Black Zetsu's gaze slowly fell on Akihara Kagura, and it seemed to have some guesses in its heart.
"Hahaha..."
Akihara Kagura extended his hand, holding his forehead, a slight smile on his lips, "I never expected... the content of this history would be about me..."
"Nara Shikamaru."
"You truly live up to the reputation of the strategist clan of Konoha..."
"Your guess is absolutely correct, the person who obtained the wooden tag indeed bore the Uchiha name..."
"Let me fill in the story behind the wooden tag for you..."
Akihara Kagura's lips curled into a smile, his voice gently spoke, "That Uchiha had long suspected that there was also a lineage of chakra within the Senju clan. He went to the Senju clan to discover the secret of their power and eventually stole a piece of bark recording the secret from their territory, also overhearing the secret about it..."
"Unfortunately..."
"He didn't have time to unravel the secret of the bark, his life ended."
"However, he had only one child under him, hoping his child could decipher the secret. But he knew very well that to awaken the eternal Mangeky? Sharingan in his child, his child at least needed a sibling..."
"Perhaps he also needed the chakra inherited by the Uchiha clan for generations..."
"However..."
"There was another way..."
"That was to transplant his own eternal Mangeky? Sharingan to his child..."
"This was the luckiest thing."
"After him, there had been no more eternal Mangeky? Sharingan born."
"And the Uchiha, who betrayed the Hyuga clan's ally and gained the eternal Mangeky? Sharingan, passed down that pair of eternal Mangeky? Sharingan as the only pair, continually inherited within his direct descendants..."
"That pair of eternal Mangeky? Sharingan was passed down this way..."
Akihara Kagura smiled broadly, extending his hand to cover his cheek as if to hide his smile. His eyes revealed a glint of Sharingan red through his fingers.
"Until now..."
"It can still be used."
