"Wait..."
When Uchiha Madara saw beneath the bark, his face showed a hint of surprise, then a realization, and he quickly nodded, saying, "I see, I have always wondered why there's so little record of the ancestor of Chakra origins, Otsutsuki Kaguya, on the stone tablets of our clan. Turns out, her secrets are recorded on the bark of your Senju clan..."
[Otsutsuki Hagoromo founded the Ninja Sect... had three children... eldest son Indra... second son Asura... young daughter Otsutsuki Kaguya...]
"Moreover..."
"There's something even more interesting..."
Uchiha Madara chuckled softly, looking at Senju Hashirama whom he had subdued, "Our Uchiha clan's ancestor is named Indra, the eldest son of the Six Paths Sage, inheriting his Sage Eye; your Senju clan's ancestor is named Asura, the second son of the Six Paths Sage, inheriting his Sage Body..."
"Hashirama."
"Our two clans' ancestors were actually brothers..."
Uchiha Madara spoke excitedly, even having a smile on his lips, "This history is indeed astonishingly hidden..."
"How is that possible?"
Senju Tobirama's face immediately showed signs of uncertainty and doubt.
Who would have thought that during the Warring States Era, the widely known eternally opposed Uchiha clan and Senju clan, their ancestors were actually brothers, children of the Six Paths Sage!
What a joke!
How could the ancestor of the Senju of the Forest and the evil Uchiha ancestor be brothers!
But...
This is a historical relic of the Senju clan.
If both the Senju and Uchiha clans are descendants of the Six Paths Sage, no wonder both clans wield formidable power, dominating until before the Warring States Era!
"Are our ancestors brothers?"
Senju Hashirama simply showed a hint of surprise on his face, immediately feeling somewhat pleased, "No wonder when I first met you..."
"Are Senju and Uchiha brothers?"
All the Konoha ninja present were taken aback.
Although many had forgotten the past glory of the Senju clan, they knew of the story between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, as rivals and friends...
Unexpectedly...
They turned out to be brothers.
"But that was already a thousand years ago."
Uchiha Madara chuckled softly, suddenly frowning in thought, "No wonder when I transplanted your cells, there was no rejection reaction, and I activated the Rinnegan of the Six Paths Sage..."
No wonder!
No wonder it turned out this way!
Everything can be explained!
The so-called powers of positive and negative are all the powers of the Six Paths Sage!
"No wonder..."
Senju Tobirama furrowed his brows, contemplating another matter, "No wonder that brat Akihara Kagura knew that transplanting my brother's cells into Uchiha wouldn't cause their experiments to fail, instead it would activate Wood Release and Sharingan's double Kekkeigenkai..."
This too can be explained.
Because the Senju clan and Uchiha clan used to share an ancestor, the Senju's Wood Release and Uchiha's Sharingan can merge into a unified power!
This is also why that brat Akihara Kagura wants to save the Uchiha clan, because that brat knows that once some Uchiha transplant Hashirama's cells, they can activate a dual Kekkeigenkai, swiftly producing a batch of powerful henchmen!
"This is recorded on the bark of the Senju clan."
Uchiha Madara raised the bark in his hand, even mentioning another insignificant matter, speaking with a hint of contempt at the corners of his mouth, "The bark also records the origin of the Hyuga clan, the ancestor of Hyuga being named Otsutsuki Kaguya..."
"..."
Upon hearing this name, Black Zetsu's expression suddenly became tense!
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Black Zetsu would have wanted to snatch the bark from Uchiha Madara, it hadn't yet had a good look at the text recorded in the bark!
Otsutsuki Kaguya!
What's recorded in this bark about Otsutsuki Kaguya!
This is a particularly tense moment for Black Zetsu, it must find a way to use the recorded information to ease Uchiha Madara's vigilance against Otsutsuki Kaguya!
"It's truly interesting..."
"I finally know some secrets..."
Uchiha Madara chuckled softly, with keen interest mocking the ancestor of the Hyuga clan, "This Otsutsuki Kaguya, merely noted as the Goddess of Rabbit on our Uchiha clan's stone tablet, is the youngest daughter of the Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo. No wonder her name always appears in these ancient historical secret records..."
"!!!"
Black Zetsu was thunderstruck.
Wait...
What did Uchiha Madara just say?
What do you mean Otsutsuki Kaguya is Otsutsuki Hagoromo's youngest daughter?
What is this?
What is this bark?
What the hell is this darn bark made of!
Black Zetsu's expression was ugly and cold, suppressing its anger, forcing calm, it remarked, "Madara, could it be that you are mistaken? Is it because you are using only one eye, could there be some mistake?"
"There's no mistake..."
Uchiha Madara chuckled softly, even continued saying, "Unfortunately, as the youngest daughter of the Six Paths Sage, Otsutsuki Kaguya didn't inherit anything, so this ancestor of the Hyuga clan was not valued by her father, the Six Paths Sage. Therefore, there were never any special records..."
"..."
Black Zetsu was truly exasperated!
What the hell...
What kind of rubbish history is this!
Who recorded this history, can't such records show some respect for history, what kind of damn thing is the Senju clan's bark!
