"We have evidence." Kazuki activated his Rinnegan.
Seeing Kazuki's Rinnegan, Madara thought, 'Just as I expected, he has indeed awakened the Rinnegan.'
But when Madara saw the state of Kazuki's Rinnegan, he was bewildered.
Was this really a Rinnegan?
Its color seemed different from his own, and why did his Rinnegan have so many tomoe?
Furthermore, his ocular power was far superior to his own Rinnegan.
What in the world was going on?
"I don't think there's any need for me to deceive you." Kazuki looked at Madara seriously.
"If I wanted to, you wouldn't be my match at all. Even among Rinnegan, there are differences."
"So, your Rinnegan's level is even higher than mine?" Madara was somewhat bewildered.
His Rinnegan might have been affected by his previous use of Izanagi, or perhaps it was due to his old age, but his Rinnegan was somewhat underdeveloped and needed Nagato to nurture it for him.
Yet, for Kazuki, he awakened the Rinnegan at such a young age, seemingly without any pressure.
Recalling Kazuki's past, it seemed that from Sharingan to Rinnegan, he had awakened them all with ease. Madara thought about how he had lost his father to awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan, then merged Izuna's eyes to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and finally, after much difficulty, obtained Hashirama's cells and spent over a decade to awaken his Rinnegan, which was still underdeveloped.
Why was the gap between them so vast?
"Conservatively estimated, my ocular power is at least ten times yours." Kazuki said confidently.
He had previously absorbed the ocular power of Madara's Rinnegan and knew exactly what tier Madara's Rinnegan was.
Madara fell silent. He wanted to say that Kazuki was boasting, but upon careful thought, feeling the surging ocular power emanating from his eyes, he had to admit that Kazuki's ocular power was superior to his own. He knew that in his current state, Kazuki could truly kill him at any moment.
Not to mention his current aged self, even his peak self would probably be no match for Kazuki.
"Alright, Madara, Infinite Tsukuyomi is a deception." Hashirama once again stepped in as a mediator.
"The Uchiha clan's stone tablet was altered. This is the history of the Ninja World."
With that, Hashirama handed Madara a historical record of the Ōtsutsuki clan from the moon.
Madara gave Hashirama a deep look, but still took the book and began to read.
This book of history seemed extremely ancient. Madara couldn't tell how many years old it was, but he could see that it had been preserved through special means, and the contents within were likely hundreds of years old. Therefore, this wasn't something Kazuki and Hashirama had fabricated to deceive him.
Ninjas could discern the truth from falsehood in information, a skill they had learned since childhood.
When Madara received the book, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Could it be that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was truly a deception?
While he was reading, Kazuki walked over to the Gedo Statue and spoke to Hashirama, "This is the Ten-Tails that has lost its Chakra. However, this Ten-Tails, compared to the one I captured before, has produced a Chakra Fruit, and it's also much more mature than that Ten-Tails."
"So what do you plan to do? Will you continue to seal it?" Hashirama examined the Gedo Statue and asked.
"I sense a strong Wood Release aura on it."
"After all, the powers of Wood Release, Sharingan, and even Rinnegan all originate from the Ten-Tails, so this is quite normal." Kazuki nodded slightly.
"As for this Gedo Statue, we'll keep it for now. I don't know how to deal with it yet. Although I have the ability to completely kill the Ten-Tails, I can't guarantee that doing so won't have some effect on Kaguya. If the Ōtsutsuki truly invade the Ninja World, Kaguya would be a valuable asset."
All jokes aside, although Kaguya's operations were a bit clumsy, her raw power was quite formidable. The Ninja World is very special, the Chakra Fruit helped Kaguya master Kekkei Mora, which is extremely rare even within the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Of course, it's also possible that Kaguya's own bloodline was inherently excellent. After all, at the end of the day, while she had some personality and mental issues, her bloodline was powerful.
How could Shibai's daughter be a simple person?
As for her weak combat tactics, Kaguya wasn't the only one like that. It's not as if other members of the Ōtsutsuki clan were particularly skilled in combat.
"Indeed, since all of this is the Sage of Six Paths's plan, it's not appropriate for us to do anything to his mother. Over these years, the Sage of Six Paths has worked tirelessly for the Ninja World. Even if he hasn't achieved great feats, he has certainly endured much hardship. He has always been pushing for war, causing countless sacrifices, but ultimately, it was all to protect the Ninja World." Hashirama nodded in agreement.
Kazuki felt that regardless of whether the Sage of Six Paths truly pushed for the development of war, in the hearts of many, his cruel and cold-blooded image would likely be very difficult to shake off.
"Hashirama, what do you mean by that?" Madara, who was still examining the historical content, suddenly looked up at Hashirama.
"It's the Sage of Six Paths." Hashirama said, carefully choosing his words, and then explained how the Sage of Six Paths had continuously pushed for war to restore the Ninja World.
Madara fell silent upon hearing this. Could it be like this?
But upon closer thought, it didn't seem entirely incomprehensible.
Uchiha and Senju were descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, Madara knew this.
As for Asura and Indra Chakra reincarnations, now that he knew this news, Madara tacitly accepted it, especially with historical records to back it up. He and Hashirama were probably the current generation's Asura and Indra Chakra reincarnations.
This explained why he had a different kind of feeling towards Hashirama. He had obtained the Creation of All Things through Hashirama's cells and awakened the Rinnegan.
So, must there be war in the Ninja World?
Was all of this to quickly restore the Ninja World, and at the same time, to resist the invading Ōtsutsuki?
