Although Takemi had some guesses, when he actually saw the 'relic' Black Zetsu had forged for the Hyuga clan, he could barely maintain his composure, let alone Kaguya, who was hidden within him.
"How dare he... How dare he..."
Kaguya was trembling with rage, and her rigid fists probably wanted to smash Black Zetsu's head right then and there.
"Forging something left behind by Hamura is one thing, but how dare he write something like this?!"
Takemi looked at all of this, and his expression was extremely strange because he discovered that it even involved him.
"No, has the Chronicle of Ages reached this point?"
The content recorded within was divided into several sections. The first part, as usual, told a 'mythical story'.
The second part began with the story of the Hamura lineage leaving the Ninja World and heading to the moon.
The third part became a bit strange. Besides stating that the Ninja World harbored a crisis and required the combined strength of everyone to have a chance, it also contained another thing.
Although gathering everyone's strength to fight the Ōtsutsuki was strictly speaking unreliable, as even a bit of their battle's aftermath could kill hundreds, thousands, or even more people, it was at least a plan.
Especially with Naruto and Sasuke's reasonable growth, they truly could fight the Ōtsutsuki.
In addition to that, there was also this line—
When the Power of All Creation is abundant, a white-eyed youth with the characteristic of evolution will appear, and he too has the potential to save the world.
Looking at this sentence, Takemi could only shake his head.
If he remembered correctly, wasn't evolution a product of his own nonsense? Did Black Zetsu actually believe it?!
"This guy, he's deliberately trying to drag me into fighting the Ōtsutsuki, isn't he?"
Takemi was exasperated. He had already played the 'I fight myself' scenario once, but Black Zetsu wasn't very satisfied, was he?
And by the fourth section, the situation became a bit awkward.
My descendants, remember not to activate the Eye of the Moon without making thorough preparations, especially in dangerous situations.
If you have sufficient ability, be sure to strengthen the seal on the moon, and even, at critical moments, be sure to destroy all information about the Eye of the Moon plan.
Otherwise, a greater terror will descend. Remember, remember...
To be honest, Takemi understood Black Zetsu's intentions. Strengthening the moon's seal and destroying all information was to protect his mother. The greater terror descending probably referred to Takeshiki devouring Kaguya, but...
If Kaguya sees these words, especially since she was once backstabbed, the situation will be different.
Feeling the anger continuously brewing within Kaguya, Takemi stroked his chin and whispered, "It seems your child is very worried about you."
"You didn't say that just now."
Kaguya's voice became exceptionally cold. Takemi's previous words were still fresh in her mind.
She naturally understood that Black Zetsu wanted to protect her. In fact, she herself was afraid that this guy in front of her would go crazy and devour her. But the predetermined goal had already been set.
Not executing it was one thing. But to strengthen the seal?
She had endured for a thousand years, and finally the seal had problems. With just a little more effort, she could come out. But this guy wanted to trap her?
"Indeed, in this world, anyone who gets involved with Sage of Six Paths will change!"
Kaguya spoke coldly, which made Takemi's eyelids twitch.
"Isn't he saving you? And what does this have to do with Sage of Six Paths?"
"If Sage of Six Paths can be so cruel and cold-blooded, he might also be affected. Now it's just strengthening, but what about the future?"
Kaguya felt very uncomfortable, but considering Takemi's words, she pondered for a moment before speaking, "Modify what he left behind. I want to see what his reaction will be."
"That... I've seen it."
"This time, I want to leave behind some real truths. I want to see how he chooses and what he does."
"..."
Takemi knew that this woman was planning to rewrite the 'relic'.
However, considering that this was a matter between mother and son, Takemi was happy to help.
"How do you want to change it?"
"Don't touch the front. In the back, I want to add the truth about Sage of Six Paths."
"..."
"I want the whole world to know how cruel he truly is, and I also want everyone to know his true face."
"Hiss."
Takemi gasped. Was this woman crazy? Playing such a big game?
However, despite thinking this, he still decided to give it a try. But he planned to have Kaguya dictate it to him mentally, and he would also make appropriate modifications. He wasn't going to let this woman mess around.
After sealing the Rabbit Goddess, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, I brought my clan to the moon and guarded the Ten-Tails' husk.
And my elder brother remained in the Ninja World and founded Ninshu, but he knew that more Ōtsutsuki would descend upon the Ninja World in the future and destroy this world.
Therefore, he made a decision: to let the entire Ninja World undergo sufficient tempering.
Only by fully mastering Chakra and possessing sufficient strength can one contend with these 'People from the Heavens', even if it means paying a heavy price.
In order to ignite conflict, my elder brother deliberately put his two children into conflict.
He did not hand over the succession of Ninshu to the most outstanding Indra, but instead to the relatively mediocre Asura, which ignited the conflict between the brothers.
Sure enough, the supporters of both sides erupted into war, and Indra and Asura were embroiled in endless conflict.
Under their leadership, Ninshu was torn apart, and the flames of war spread throughout the entire Ninja World.
And to prolong the war, he continuously reincarnated Indra and Asura's Chakra, carrying their beliefs and obsessions, constantly continuing the struggle.
I once asked my elder brother if doing this was truly worth it.
But my elder brother told me that only by experiencing such cruelty would the living beings of the Ninja World possess strong will, powerful combat techniques, and proficient mastery of Chakra.
Even if countless lives are lost, in order to protect this world, even if the battle lasts for thousands or tens of thousands of years, even if blood stains the earth and corpses pile up, it is worth it.
Compared to all life in the entire world being destroyed, compared to being drained of all energy by the 'People from the Heavens' and turned into a dead place, the continuation of life in this world is more important.
I was shaken by my elder brother's will, so cold-blooded and cruel, it was hard for me to imagine.
How many lives would be buried, how much hatred would accumulate in thousands or tens of thousands of years of war?
Whether Indra and Asura can ultimately reconcile, I cannot imagine any of this.
But recalling how the 'People from the Heavens' casually destroy entire planets and devour all life on them, I could only remain silent.
Therefore, I decided not to let my elder brother bear everything alone, and I also made some arrangements.
When the Power of All Creation is abundant, a white-eyed youth with the characteristic of evolution will appear, and he too has the potential to save the world.
And my elder brother also left a crucial point: when the Rinnegan reappears, the Eye of the Moon plan can be pushed forward.
Behind the Eye of the Moon, a huge secret is hidden. In times of crisis, the Eye of the Moon might be able to save all living beings.
My descendants, the future of the Ninja World rests on your shoulders.
After some modifications, Takemi was finally done.
