Akihara Kagura glanced at Black Zetsu beside him and said, "Among so many people, only Mr. Black Zetsu is willing to support my idea. As expected from the legendary will left by the Six Paths Sage..."
"..."
Everyone's eyes turned to Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu, under the gaze of the crowd, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Moreover...
Black Zetsu wanted to refute.
First, it is not the will of the Six Paths Sage.
Second, it doesn't quite support Akihara Kagura's idea...
Third, it felt somewhat confused, as if it was being made a scapegoat for something...
"Alright."
Akihara Kagura clapped his hands, his gaze fixed on Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Neji: "Now, let me take care of something important! Before my plan proceeds, I want to know a secret about the Hyuga Clan..."
"The Hyuga Clan's... secret?"
Hyuga Hinata looked at Akihara Kagura with some astonishment.
Hyuga Neji's eyes narrowed. A secret about the Hyuga Clan that Akihara Kagura wanted to know was also something Hyuga Neji was very eager to obtain!
Akihara Kagura pulled out a toothpick-sized wooden stick and said slowly, "This contains a secret about the Hyuga Clan..."
"With a little force from the outside, the entire wooden stick will crack and destroy the information inside. Only the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan can perceive the information inside..."
"Now..."
"I need someone to read out the information inside for me."
"Of course."
"I also need another person to verify its authenticity."
Akihara Kagura looked at Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Neji, speaking slowly: "Fortunately, there are two Hyuga Clan ninjas here. Are you willing to help?"
"Let me go first!"
Hyuga Hinata stepped forward voluntarily.
After all, concerning the Hyuga Clan's secret, Hyuga Hinata was very interested.
The other Anbu Ninja wanted to speak up and stop them, but Akihara Kagura raised his hand, and vines emerged from the ground, preventing them from approaching!
However...
Uchiha Madara remained indifferent to this.
Because Uchiha Madara wanted to know the Hyuga Clan's secret as well.
Akihara Kagura looked at Hyuga Hinata, handed her the wooden stick, and spoke gently: "If the information read by the two Hyuga Clan ninjas is inconsistent, I'm afraid I'll have to let both of you die here..."
"!!!"
Hyuga Hinata was shocked!
"..."
Hyuga Neji's feelings were becoming complicated.
At this moment...
The fate of a Main Family member and a Branch family member was somehow intertwined!
If he wanted to kill Hyuga Hinata, he could simply misread some information and bring the Main Family member to accompany him to the afterlife!
"Kakashi!"
Might Guy, holding a nunchaku, landed beside Kakashi Hatake and said gravely, "Should we stop them?"
"How can we stop them?"
Kakashi Hatake shook his head, doubting their ability to halt what Akihara Kagura wanted to do. Every Konoha Ninja present knew how strong Akihara Kagura was.
If we wanted to stop Akihara Kagura...
We would at least need someone as powerful as the First Hokage...
Among those present, only Uchiha Madara might be capable, but he stood there motionless, allowing Akihara Kagura to threaten the Konoha Ninja.
"..."
Hyuga Hinata calmly received the wooden stick.
Hyuga Neji's ears were sealed, preventing him from eavesdropping.
Hyuga Hinata was well aware that her cousin Hyuga Neji had always wanted to kill her, and if her cousin wanted to harm her, he could slightly misreport one or two things, causing them both to perish together.
But...
If the two of them wanted to survive...
No matter what, the first person must read out the true content of the wooden stick.
"Byakugan·Open!"
Hyuga Hinata immediately activated her Byakugan, and through the wooden stick's surface, she saw the dense small characters inside, which she found somewhat difficult to read...
But...
The content inside made her somewhat alarmed!
The content on this wooden stick detailed the origins of the Hyuga Clan, origins even the clan couldn't find records of; it detailed who the ancestors of the Hyuga Clan were and why the Hyuga Clan appeared in the Ninja World!
"In ancient times..."
"Otsutsuki Kaguya ruled the world..."
"Otsutsuki Kaguya's two sons, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, wanted to seize their mother's power for themselves... They joined forces... and colluded with the Sage Realm Mount Myoboku in the Ninja World... eventually sealing Kaguya on the moon..."
As expected.
The opening story was always about the Otsutsuki family.
However, compared to the Uchiha Clan's stone monument and the Senju Clan's tree bark, the history recorded on the Hyuga Clan's wooden stick seemed to have some unique differences.
"This is history!"
Black Zetsu, listening to the content recorded on the wooden stick, felt moved to tears: "This is the true history!"
Compared to the Senju Clan's tree bark...
The Hyuga Clan's wooden stick records were almost excessively friendly!
Now...
It finally proved its identity!
"This is the true history!"
Black Zetsu came forward to confirm the truth, and to prove its identity: "I am Kaguya's will, birthed when Kaguya was initially sealed..."
However...
After reciting the story about Otsutsuki Kaguya, Hyuga Hinata proceeded to the part about the brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura.
"To seize control of the world... a monumental battle unfolded between the brothers... Ultimately... the elder brother, Otsutsuki Hagoromo... won in this fraternal battle..."
"..."
Black Zetsu furrowed its brow.
The history of the Hyuga Clan seemed a bit odd too!
However...
This seemed to be quite beneficial to itself!
The duo who sealed their mother were destined to die!
Yet...
The history of the Hyuga Clan was getting stranger...
As Hyuga Hinata read through the history below, an unsettling feeling grew within her heart: "To conceal the past, Otsutsuki Hagoromo used the Ten-tails to kill everyone in the Ninja World, reconstructing a new world and new ninjas..."
"!!!"
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock!
Involuntarily, all eyes turned towards Akihara Kagura!
Because what this person called Otsutsuki Hagoromo did was exactly the same as what Akihara Kagura intended, causing those in Konoha Anbu who had heard of Otsutsuki Hagoromo's name to be shocked and uneasy!
Because...
This Otsutsuki Hagoromo...
Had another identity as recorded in the Senju Clan's tree bark...
When Hyuga Hinata spoke of Otsutsuki Hagoromo's identity, her voice suddenly trembled: "The new era ninjas... referred to the creator Otsutsuki Hagoromo as... the Six Paths Sage."
"..."
The present ninjas fell silent instantly.
"..."
Black Zetsu felt uneasy.
The history of the Hyuga Clan was somewhat wild too?
