"Nine-tails, don't worry, we will protect you. Just speak the truth..."
Uzumaki Mito patted Kushina's shoulder. "This time, Hashirama and I will stand by your side."
Senju Tobirama secretly gritted his teeth.
Unbelievable, my sister-in-law actually thought he would privately use Dojutsu to control the Nine-tails!
Did she think he was the evil Uchiha Madara!
However, after some private thinking, this is indeed one of the uses of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Perhaps after those Tailed Beasts killed by Aomi are resurrected, he could find an opportunity to try it out, as a subject for research...
Nine-tails took a deep breath.
With this formation, it seemed that not speaking the truth could be problematic, since now there is still a semblance of dignity...
Otherwise, with three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, Senju Hashirama, and Uzumaki Mito joining the battle together...
Even as the mighty Nine-tails, the outcome might not be so favorable!
In today's Konoha Village, Nine-tails believed that it is wise to uphold the principle that knowing the times makes one a great hero.
Wood Release, Adamantine Sealing Chains, Mangekyo Sharingan, various Fuinjutsu; to Nine-tails, they seemed like various instruments of torture, and eventually, they could pry open its mouth...
Chakra surged from Kushina's shoulder, momentarily forming a small fox head.
The small fox head first glared fiercely at Senju Hashirama, causing the First Hokage to look bewildered.
Had he ever done anything to Nine-tails?
Can't quite recall...
"Senju Tobirama was right... I truly felt a presence similar to the Six Paths Sage in Aomi's Chakra!"
Nine-tails said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know why... initially I thought Aomi was similar to Uchiha Madara, a reincarnation of Indra Chakra, but later discovered he is much closer to the Six Paths Sage..."
Upon hearing the words Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama unexpectedly became animated, his eyes lighting up.
Beside him, Uzumaki Mito snorted coldly, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
Nevertheless, Senju Hashirama, as if he had not heard it, leaned over to hastily ask, "Madara, what's going on with Madara!"
Nine-tails sighed, shaking its head.
"Indra, the eldest son of the Six Paths Sage and ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, had a highly tense relationship with the old Sage, once attempting to conquer the Ninja World by force. Asura and I once joined forces with the Six Paths Sage to stop him..."
"After Indra's defeat, his Chakra continually reincarnated in the Ninja World, attaching to various outstanding ninjas within the Uchiha Clan, including Uchiha Madara as one of them!"
Nine-tails gazed at Senju Hashirama, saying slowly, "With your strength, perhaps you've sensed that you've had some unsettling Chakra within you?"
Senju Hashirama nodded solemnly.
Meanwhile, Uzumaki Mito had a somewhat pensive look, as Senju Hashirama had discussed this issue with her before.
"Indeed, you were once the reincarnation of Asura Chakra!" Nine-tails slowly revealed this ancient secret.
Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama frowned deeply.
This is different from what the Uchiha Stele says...
According to deductions from the Uchiha Stele, Indra and Asura together sealed the Six Paths Sage.
But Nine-tails mentioned that Indra planned world extinction, whereas the Six Paths Sage is on the righteous side, stopping him along with Asura.
Could the Six Paths Sage be a good person?
But if he was a good person, why would the Six Paths Sage attempt to possess Aomi!
And why in the stele would there be instructions on how to restore the Ten-tails, urging future generations to initiate Infinite Tsukuyomi, such Jutsu to gather Chakra from the Ninja World...
"Nine-tails, how did you assist Asura in fighting Indra?" Senju Tobirama suddenly asked.
"At that time, the Six Paths Sage split the Ten-tails into nine parts, transforming them into nine Tailed Beasts, which were hosted within his body..."
Nine-tails explained honestly, "Back then, the Six Paths Sage, through sharing Chakra, delivered mine as the main source to Asura, assisting him in battling Indra..."
Senju Tobirama's eyes flickered: "Then tell me, why did the Six Paths Sage split the Ten-tails into nine parts?"
"To suppress the Ten-tails! The Ten-tails is the ultimate being, possessing a terrifying and world-annihilating destructive power!" Nine-tails said sternly.
"Then after splitting you, did the Six Paths Sage successfully suppress the Nine-tails?" Senju Tobirama continued to ask.
Nine-tails pondered for a moment, nodding its head.
Indeed, back then, the Six Paths Sage seemed to be in good condition after splitting the Ten-tails...
Finally, one day, abruptly saying farewell to them, leaving the small Tailed Beasts crying, he then extracted the nine Tailed Beasts from his body and dispersed them worldwide.
"Since it was to suppress the Tailed Beasts, why extract you from his body, resulting in dying as Jinchuriki?"
Senju Tobirama laughed coldly, "Nine-tails, what you saw was all illusion under Genjutsu!"
"Let me tell you, how the Six Paths Sage truly died! And what the truth is behind you and Asura fighting against Indra..."
Senju Tobirama said in a deep voice, "The Six Paths Sage was a monster trying to destroy the world and was jointly sealed by his two sons! The so-called splitting of the Ten-tails was actually an attempt by the Six Paths Sage to control the Ten-tails' power, breaking it into nine to defeat individually!"
"Nine-tails, what you thought was residing in the Six Paths Sage's body, helping Asura against Indra... was actually you under Genjutsu. The Six Paths Sage was using your power in battle against his two sons!"
