"The story begins with the Ōtsutsuki clan, where my mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, came from."
"I don't know the exact details of the Ōtsutsuki clan, only that they are a powerful clan traversing the universe, using chakra as their source of power."
"Unlike ninja who mainly obtain chakra through cultivation, the Ōtsutsuki clan obtains chakra mainly through plunder!"
"Not plundering individuals, but plundering entire planets, using the Ten-Tails' true form, the God Tree, as a carrier."
"The Ōtsutsuki clan usually sends two members to search the universe for planets suitable for planting the God Tree. One is the guardian, and the other is the guarded."
Sasuke's heart stirred. Wasn't this composition basically the same as the Hyūga clan's main and branch families?
Kageyama Kogetsu hadn't solved the Hyūga clan's problem yet, planning to do so after unifying the ninja world in response to Neji's request.
It would be a simple matter then. The Hyūga clan would absolutely not dare to resist, and other ninja clans wouldn't dare to say anything.
So what if he interfered in the internal affairs of a ninja clan?
Leaving aside the absolute force that couldn't be resisted, did the Hyūga clan want to decline in the new world order, or did they want to secure more benefits?
The same applied to other ninja clans. Whether they declined or flourished depended entirely on Kageyama Kogetsu's whim.
"The Ōtsutsuki clan members plant the God Tree on the planet. The God Tree absorbs the planet's natural energy to grow, eventually blooming and bearing fruit."
"Transformed by the God Tree, the massive natural energy becomes a Chakra Fruit containing immense chakra."
"If a planet loses all its natural energy, it will die, and all living beings on the planet, including humans, will become extinct."
"The world a thousand years ago was much larger than it is now. The current world is what survived the catastrophe a thousand years ago."
"For the God Tree to bloom and bear fruit, besides sufficient natural energy, the guardian of the Ōtsutsuki clan must be sacrificed to the God Tree."
Actually, sacrificing an Ōtsutsuki clan member to the God Tree didn't seem to be a necessary condition, but more likely to facilitate the Ōtsutsuki clan's absorption of the Chakra Fruit.
It was somewhat similar to cultivators in cultivation novels sacrificing something of their own when refining a powerful evil spirit or artifact to reduce the difficulty of refining and enhance control.
The Ten-Tails was the embodiment of the world's dark side. The madness of the Uchiha clan, possessing part of the Ten-Tails' genes, was evident to all, a living example in the ninja world!
If not softened, purified, and filtered by the bloodline of an Ōtsutsuki clan member, let alone eating it raw like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, even refining it into pills would likely have hidden dangers!
Not knowing alchemy and eating it raw, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki likely underwent a drastic personality change due to the negative emotions contained in the raw Chakra Fruit, eventually turning mother and sons into enemies.
Estimated to lack experience and knowledge, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki probably didn't expect the quality of the God Tree fruit produced in this world to be so high!
Not only did she need to split her power to give birth to two sons asexually, but even after splitting, she was still subtly influenced by the negative emotions in the God Tree fruit.
"The two Ōtsutsuki clan members who came to Earth at that time were Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Isshiki Ōtsutsuki."
"The former was my mother and the guarded, while the latter was the guardian."
Hearing secrets about the Sage of Six Paths' mother, Naruto, Sasuke, and the Nine-Tails couldn't help but listen more attentively.
"Because the guardian was unwilling to be sacrificed to the God Tree, he suddenly rebelled and launched a sneak attack. Mother was injured and couldn't finish the job, allowing half of Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's body to escape."
As a mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki naturally didn't want to tell her two sons about her disgraceful deeds, so she adapted the story.
The Sage of Six Paths and his brother naturally knew of Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's existence.
The two were not only sons but also helpers in searching for Isshiki Ōtsutsuki and resisting the Ōtsutsuki clan's pursuers.
"Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's eyes were a black eye and a Byakugan. The black eye looks exactly like your father's right eye."
Hearing this, Naruto, Sasuke, and the Nine-Tails were shaken, each with different feelings.
"I suspect your father has been replaced by Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, or rather, he has been Isshiki Ōtsutsuki from the beginning."
Naruto muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be. Father is so good, not at all like a bad guy who steals planetary energy."
Sasuke said coldly, "Hmph, leaving aside whether we can confirm if Father is the Isshiki Ōtsutsuki you speak of, so what if he is?"
"I don't care about any Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. I only know that Father treats me, Mother, the Uchiha clan, and Konoha very well!"
Naruto woke up as if from a dream. "Sasuke is right. It's enough that Father is good."
The Sage of Six Paths smiled. "Whether he's good or not, we'll discuss later. Let me continue."
"After Mother ate the Chakra Fruit produced by the God Tree..."
Then, the Sage of Six Paths recounted how he and his brother had conflicts with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki leading to a fight, how he became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, traveled the ninja world to spread chakra and establish Ninshu.
He also talked about the divergence in his two sons' philosophies of peace, the splitting of the Ten-Tails into nine Tailed Beasts, and the thousand-year struggle of his two sons' reincarnations due to their differing philosophies.
"Mother cannot be released. Once released, she will inevitably collect chakra, re-establish the God Tree, and build a White Zetsu army. The entire world will be destroyed then."
"Mother has inextricably linked ties with the Ten-Tails. Once someone becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, Mother might use their body to escape."
Naruto was a little scared and quickly said, "Then just make sure no one becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, right?"
"Your father will likely choose to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki unless something unexpected happens," the Sage of Six Paths said with a worried expression.
"I will persuade Father not to do such a dangerous thing."
"Mm... if Father doesn't listen to me, I'll ask Mother and the others to persuade him together. All Konoha ninja can persuade him together."
"With so many people persuading him, Father will definitely listen. Sasuke, don't you think so?" Naruto said very seriously.
Sigh... Asura, this child, is still so kind, or rather naive, after a thousand years.
Actually, the pot calling the kettle black, the Sage of Six Paths was also quite naive and black-bellied.
Could a normal person watch their two sons' chakra constantly reincarnate and fight?
Where there are people, there are conflicts. War is common, peace is rare.
The blame for constant wars couldn't be entirely placed on the two constantly reincarnating chakras, but objectively, these two chakras did increase the intensity of wars.
The Sage of Six Paths didn't treat the ninja world as a nursery to take from at will, but he treated it as a testing ground for his two sons' philosophies.
Not much better than a nursery, or maybe not as rotten as a nursery. In a world of comparisons, one was rottener than the other.
"Naruto, calm down. Don't be scared by him."
Sasuke looked calm, staring at the Sage of Six Paths. "Maybe what you say is true, but I respect Father's decision!"
"When you became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki back then, your mother didn't revive either, did she?"
"Can you tell me why?"
By the end, Sasuke's tone was quite unfriendly.
Naruto suddenly realized. That's right, wasn't the Sage of Six Paths fine too?
Thinking of this, Naruto looked at the Sage of Six Paths with some unfriendliness as well.
The Sage of Six Paths remained calm, smiling. "I only said it's possible for her to revive, not certain."
"If the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki can resist the Ten-Tails' negative emotions and Mother's intentional or unintentional influence, Mother naturally won't be able to revive."
"But hidden dangers still exist, for example..."
