This piece of history...
will become his greatest weapon!
"I can't see the contents at all..."
Senju Hashirama gazed at the stone tablet, feeling a hint of regret in his heart: "If only we could see the contents on the stone tablet, maybe we could analyze Madara's thoughts... Madara mentioned that only the Sharingan can clearly see the contents of the tablet, seems like we're out of luck."
"Kid, don't you have a lot of Uchihas under your command?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Akihara Kagura and asked.
This Second Hokage directly tried to study the stone tablet, discovering that the content was carved with powerful techniques; the Sharingan is the key to reading it.
"It's useless."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, proactively answering on behalf of his subordinates: "It requires the Mangekyo Sharingan to read some truths, and even higher-level eyes than the Mangekyo Sharingan to read the complete truth..."
After speaking, Akihara Kagura suddenly looked at Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama: "I remember both the Senju and Uchiha clans were ninja clans that passed down through the Ninja World for millennia. The Uchiha Clan has the stone tablet handed down, doesn't the Senju Clan have a corresponding tablet?"
"No."
Senju Hashirama shook his head.
"The Senju Clan..."
Senju Tobirama furrowed his brow, recalling the origins of his clan: "The Senju of the Forest during the Warring States Era lived in the forests, and have never seen such tablets..."
"Could it be hidden in a tree?"
Akihara Kagura raised his reasonable suspicion.
Honestly.
Akihara Kagura should be grateful to Senju Hashirama.
If it weren't for Senju Hashirama reminiscing about his last meeting place with Uchiha Madara, Akihara Kagura wouldn't have remembered the stone tablet at Nankai Shrine.
Because what's recorded on it isn't useful to Akihara Kagura.
But!
Now, it's useful!
Akihara Kagura watched the confused Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama brothers who couldn't recall, contemplating a chance to help them decipher their confusion.
Akihara Kagura's own strength has grown too rapidly, always failing to find the right opportunity to ally with the supervisor he most desires, Black Zetsu, because Black Zetsu wouldn't believe Akihara Kagura truly wants to ally with it, even if it believes it wouldn't reveal the truth.
But!
That's not important!
The truth the future supervisor doesn't speak, Akihara Kagura will help it utter!
The decisions the future supervisor doesn't make, Akihara Kagura will help it enact!
If Black Zetsu doesn't believe in him, doesn't want to recruit him, then it can only be coerced to choose him using a bit of special means, regardless of trust!
Once Uchiha Obito is besieged by the four Hokages, and Black Zetsu still doesn't choose to reveal the truth to him or allow him to board the rogue ship of Uchiha Madara and Otsutsuki Kaguya, Akihara Kagura can only force Black Zetsu to ally with him, its subordinate!
Root Base.
Akihara Kagura had an idea, intending to forge something.
Everything is relative, just like the rivalry between the Uchiha and Senju clans. The Uchiha Clan has a tablet forged falsely by Black Zetsu, deserving at least a forged bark by Akihara Kagura for the Senju Clan.
Black Zetsu utilized the Uchiha Clan's tablet forgery to deceive Uchiha Madara; Akihara Kagura would use Senju Clan's bark forgery to deceive Senju Hashirama.
Of course.
Forgery is a technical job.
If you go off the deep end while forging, it's too easy to be exposed.
But...
Forgery can't be entirely truthful either.
Because once everything true is spoken, it's easy to be refuted by those who know the truth, so a bit of false content must be created to let those who know the truth use the truth to counter.
Akihara Kagura privately went to Nankai Shrine's stone tablet, using the Mangekyo Sharingan to read part of the stone tablet's style, planning to rewrite a piece that belongs to the Senju of the Forest Clan truth based on this style and content.
First point, regarding the source of the bark.
After some thought, Akihara Kagura briefly explained the source of the Senju Clan's bark, recording that the Six Paths Sage is the ancestor of the Senju Clan, this is a relic left by the Six Paths Sage to his second son Asura, recording the history of the Ninja World.
This is the real truth, naturally no one can refute.
Second point, regarding the reason for the bark's existence.
Recalling the content recorded on Uchiha Clan's stone tablet, Akihara Kagura decided to slightly modify it half-truth, the bark of the Senju Clan exists because of a cruel and tragic story in the history of the Ninja World.
[Over a thousand years ago.]
[Ninja World was at peace, humans had yet to have Chakra within them.]
[A man named Otsutsuki Hagoromo appeared in the Ninja World, planting a Divine Tree in the Ninja World, thereby receiving the blessings and power of the Divine Tree.]
[This Divine Tree is Otsutsuki Hagoromo's source of power, also the legendary aggregate of nine Tailed Beasts, the Ten-tails, the Divine Tree bestowed Hagoromo a type of energy called Chakra, this was the first appearance of Chakra type energy in the Ninja World.]
[Otsutsuki Hagoromo obtained Chakra from the Divine Tree, realizing he could grant Chakra to others, thus he distributed the Chakra he obtained from the Divine Tree to the world, gathered these people to create the Ninja Sect, hoping to use Chakra to create a world where everyone would understand, hence he was honored as the Six Paths Sage.]
[After establishing the Ninja Sect, Six Paths Sage Hagoromo married and had three children: Elder son Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, inheriting Hagoromo's Sage Eye; second son Asura, the ancestor of the Senju Clan, inheriting Hagoromo's Sage Body; younger daughter Otsutsuki Kaguya, ancestor of the Hyuga Clan, inheriting nothing...]
These three points are not errors.
Akihara Kagura's thoughts were slightly divergent, feeling the matter could indeed be related to the Hyuga Clan, the Hyuga Clan deserving in the future of appearing a toothpick that only the Byakugan can see its contents, now the task is first to create this story.
[Before the end of Six Paths Sage Hagoromo's life, to select a successor for Ninja Sect, he set up two trials for his two sons, intending to choose a successor between elder son Indra and second son Asura, for them to continue ruling Ninja Sect and the world...]
This part is true.
Akihara Kagura is not someone who enjoys fabricating history, pondering for a long time, only adding a bit of not-so-real historical facts.
[However, this action angered the younger daughter Otsutsuki Kaguya, because she was born without Chakra, she was excluded by father Hagoromo from the successor list, enraged, Kaguya went under the Divine Tree, consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree, gaining the Chakra of the Divine Tree!]
[After Otsutsuki Kaguya received the Divine Tree's Chakra, she directly transformed into the Ten-tailed Divine Tree, activating a Genjutsu called Infinite Tsukuyomi, binding all the people of the Ninja World with the Divine Tree's vines, intending to absorb everyone's Chakra in the Ninja World, transforming into Ten-tails to rule the world!]
[Six Paths Sage Hagoromo had no choice but to battle with his daughter, ultimately reclaiming the power of the Divine Tree, completely separating the Ten-tailed Divine Tree into the nine Tailed Beasts and sealing his daughter Otsutsuki Kaguya in the moon.]
Akihara Kagura was very satisfied with this history story altered slightly by himself, the beginning of this story should also make Black Zetsu feel content, hopefully that Black Zetsu who forged the Uchiha tablet can understand Akihara Kagura's forgery of the Senju Clan's bark.
Of course.
Since hoping for others' understanding, others' part in the story can't be left out.
[After sealing his younger daughter, Six Paths Sage Hagoromo, this elderly man fell into a state of soul fragmentation, within Hagoromo's will a portion of darkness split off, this portion of dark will was called Black Zetsu...]
