The ancient era?
Mirai Uchiha's first words sent shockwaves through Mei, Pakura, Mabui, and Onoki.
Could the matter they were about to deal with actually have some connection with that ancient time so distant even legends barely mentioned it?
Thinking about that, they all straightened up instinctively. Their curiosity was evident as they silently waited for Mirai Uchiha to continue.
Seeing their reactions, Mirai organized her thoughts before speaking calmly.
"In the ancient era, two members of the Otsutsuki Clan arrived in the ninja world."
"Their names were Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki."
As soon as she finished, Mei couldn't help but frown. "Arrived in the ninja world?"
"Mirai, what do you mean by that?"
Mirai Uchiha replied indifferently, "These two weren't originally from the ninja world—they were humans from another planet deep within the cosmos."
What?!
Upon hearing Mirai's explanation, Mei and the others couldn't help but exclaim aloud.
Humans from another planet?
Could it be that life also exists beyond the ninja world in the universe?
Mirai wasn't surprised at all by their shocked expressions.
Even though they were esteemed as the Five Kage, these individuals had always lived within the ninja world, accustomed to endless conflict and warfare. For them, such information was still quite ahead of their time.
"Go on, Mirai."
Nodding slightly, Mirai continued, "After Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki arrived in the ninja world, they planted the God Tree's fruit here."
"The God Tree absorbed energy from the ninja world and produced an energy fruit."
"However, for the God Tree to fully mature, it required a sacrifice—a member of the Otsutsuki Clan."
"As a lower-ranking member of the clan, Kaguya Otsutsuki became the sacrifice offered to the tree."
Hearing this, Pakura murmured involuntarily, "Lower-ranking member?"
Mirai explained, "The upper class holds absolute authority. The purpose of the lower class is simply to satisfy the needs of the higher ones at any cost."
"It's similar to the relationship between the Main House and Branch House in the Hyuga Clan (the dominant and subordinate branches of the clan)."
Understanding dawned on everyone's faces.
Such matters weren't difficult to grasp.
After grasping this, Pakura asked, "So according to what you're saying, Kaguya Otsutsuki chose herself as nourishment for the God Tree?"
"What about Isshiki then?"
At this, Mirai shook her head. "It was actually Isshiki who sacrificed himself to feed the God Tree."
"For reasons unknown, Kaguya decided to ambush and severely injure Isshiki during the ritual."
"Kaguya Otsutsuki used Isshiki as the sacrificial offering, offering him to the God Tree."
"After consuming the fruit of the God Tree, Kaguya otsutsuki gained immense power."
"She was revered as the 'Moon Goddess' by people of that era."
Upon hearing the title "Moon Goddess," Pakura, Mei, and Mabui all wore expressions of complete confusion.
Only Onoki appeared deep in thought. "When I was young, I seem to recall an old man mentioning this title before."
"Other than her name, this deity left behind no legends or stories whatsoever."
"Never would I have imagined that this legendary goddess originated from another planet."
Seeing their reactions, Mirai Uchiha smiled slightly and continued, "The title Moon Goddess isn't widely known, but there's another title she holds that you should all recognize."
"What other title?"
[Chakra Originator!]
"Chakra Originator?!"
Mei and the others were all shocked, and Mabui couldn't help but ask directly, "Isn't the Chakra Originator supposed to be the legendary Sage of Six Paths?"
"How come it's Kaguya otsutsuki instead?"
Feeling their confusion, Mirai explained, "The Sage of Six Paths merely established the ninja path and passed chakra to others throughout the ninja world."
"The true origin of chakra actually lies with Kaguya otsutsuki."
Hearing this answer, Pakura, Mei, Mabui, and Onoki were all deeply astonished.
Even they had never encountered such a secret before.
So the chakra they used actually came from humans on another planet?
Their curiosity was completely aroused, and numerous questions filled their minds.
Mabui asked again, "Mirai, if Kaguya otsutsuki is truly the Chakra Originator, then why was it the Sage of Six Paths who spread chakra throughout the ninja world?"
"Why did the Sage of Six Paths possess such immense power?"
They had personally witnessed Mirai's formidable strength, so naturally understood just how powerful someone at the Six Paths level like the Sage of Six Paths must be.
In an age when only Kaguya otsutsuki possessed chakra, how did the Sage of Six Paths obtain such tremendous power?
Meeting their confused gazes, Mirai slowly spoke, "Because the Sage of Six Paths was actually Kaguya otsutsuki's son."
"Huh?!" Pakura and the others exclaimed simultaneously, shock clearly written across their faces. "The Sage of Six Paths is a descendant of Kaguya otsutsuki?"
"That's right."
Mirai nodded. "After becoming the Moon Goddess, Kaguya otsutsuki was worshipped by humans in the ninja world."
"Blessed by humanity, Kaguya otsutsuki bore two children."
"The elder brother's name was Hagoromo otsutsuki, and the younger brother's name was Hamura otsutsuki."
"Hagoromo is widely known as the Sage of Six Paths."
At this point, Pakura and the others finally understood the relationships between Kaguya Otsutsuki and the rest.
However, they still felt confused.
"Mirai, although these stories are indeed fascinating and surprising,"
"The Sage of Six Paths was someone from ancient times who has long since passed away, and Kaguya Otsutsuki only left behind the title 'Moon Goddess.'"
"What do they have to do with the trouble you mentioned?"
"This is exactly what I'm going to explain next," Mirai Uchiha thought for a moment before continuing, "They were originally meant to serve the God Tree, yet they attacked their superiors and secretly consumed the fruit of the God Tree."
"After giving birth to Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, Kaguya Otsutsuki's power had been greatly weakened. She started growing anxious about potential retaliation from her clan members."
"To deal with the potential enemies from her clan who might arrive in the ninja world, Kaguya Otsutsuki began using the God Tree to create humanoid war machines—[White Zetsu]!"
Without waiting for questions from Mei Terumi and the others, Mirai Uchiha continued, "Kaguya Otsutsuki could use the God Tree to cast [Infinite Tsukuyomi]. Those trapped within it would fall into an illusionary world where they'd lose themselves completely, eventually turning into obedient killing machines following orders without question."
"In that era, apart from a small group tasked with reproducing to preserve the human race, all other humans were drawn into the illusionary world created by Kaguya Otsutsuki's [Infinite Tsukuyomi]."
"However, despite Kaguya Otsutsuki's attempts to conceal the truth, the Sage of Six Paths eventually uncovered her actions."
