Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

During this war, Madara Uchiha was saved by Aozumi's Yang Release chakra. At their parting, Aozumi again mentioned Madara and Izuna, believing that as Uchiha, they should survive in the alternate dimension he created…

This made Madara Uchiha realize that he hadn't misjudged him!

Qingshui, although not his younger brother.

However, considering his talent, virtue, and charisma, as well as the fact that he was the only companion and comfort he received during his years as a lonely old man, even if Madara Uchiha knew that Aokizu was not the reincarnation of Izuna Uchiha's chakra, he would still be a strong contender.

Yet, he achieved a level of affection that was "not a younger brother, but better than a younger brother"!

Madara Uchiha felt he had to help Aokiji!

After Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, two people with special ties to Aokiji and the most authoritative voices among the ninjas present, clearly stated their positions, Yekura's tense emotions gradually eased.

"I met Aoshui when I was sent by the village to Konoha for an exchange, but in reality, they wanted to assassinate me... At that time, I was on the verge of death, waiting to die in the forest near Konoha, but Aoshui suddenly appeared and saved me."

Yekura tried her best to recreate the scene, while Qingshui's chakra silently helped her recall what was considered a correct memory.

"Qingshui told me..."

"The reason he started the Ninja World War and fought against the Allied Shinobi Forces was because he discovered that the ancient calamity, the Sage of Six Paths, was reviving. After testing that the major hidden villages of the Ninja World had no intention of peace, Aozumi, in order to prevent the war from reigniting and destroying Konoha and his seal on the Sage of Six Paths, chose to systematically weaken the power of each village."

Tobirama Senju's eyes lit up, and he chimed in, "That's right... that was exactly what Aozumi and I planned back then!"

At this moment, the ninjas from the hidden villages other than Konoha felt uneasy and their expressions were not good.

Are they really that lacking in vision?

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha keenly noticed Onoki's somewhat unpleasant expression and pulled him over: "Dust Release brat from Iwagakure, you seem to have something to say?"

"He had nothing to say... Given the despicable nature of Iwagakure, fostered by the Second Tsuchikage Mu, if Iwagakure hadn't been weakened and it was confirmed that Aoshui couldn't intervene, they would definitely retaliate like mad dogs..."

Tobirama Senju brought Onoki's master along as well: "Even if you tell them that Aoshui went to seal the Sage of Six Paths, these bastards will just laugh and use Dust Release to forcibly break apart the Black Water Nine Dragon Coffin."

"They'll just think Qing Shui went into seclusion, or that he went to heal from the backlash of a secret technique!"

Because of a fleeting change in expression, Onoki Kazuki, who had become the focus of everyone's attention by Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha's coordinated attack, murmured something as if trying to say something.

But I can't put it into words.

These two arch-enemies started using such horrific precision, it was as if they had aimed beforehand with their Mangekyou Sharingan...

What Tobirama Senju said is exactly what Iwagakure will most likely do...

If Aozumi hadn't started the Ninja World War, or hadn't caused enough casualties to seal himself away, then even if Konoha explained it away by sealing the Sage of Six Paths, or even if the Ninja World were to be destroyed tomorrow, Onoki would definitely have led the Iwagakure army to dismantle the coffin!

The kind of person who can get away with anything you say.

The Third Raikage and the Third Kazekage, who were standing to the side, initially wanted to laugh, but in an instant, they both straightened their faces.

They kept their eyes down, not wanting Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, those two unlucky devils, to notice them.

These two villages are not much better than Iwagakure, and if the bandit-like Kumogakure were in that situation, they would probably have done even worse.

"Hmph... Why did Qing Shui spare your lives instead of exterminating you all?"

Tobirama Senju said coldly, "Is it that Aozumi can't do it? He's just worried that he doesn't have enough confidence to seal the Sage of Six Paths, and that if he kills you all, no one will be able to fight against him when he's out of control!"

"Qingshui has the entire ninja world in his heart, unlike you who only care about the gains and losses of a single village or region!"

Onoki and the Second Tsuchikage Mu took a deep breath and fell silent along with the other Kage from the hidden villages.

This is indeed the case.

At that time, the Third Raikage, Onoki, and Hanzo were already powerless to resist. Even without Aozumi's personal intervention, several Konoha Chunin could easily take their lives.

However, Qing Shui bestowed upon them the title of "The Three Surviving Sannin" and instructed them: "From now on, struggle to become stronger, bearing the name of 'The Three Surviving Sannin.' As the price, each of you must shoulder your own honor..."

These village shamans and jinchūriki, recalling a scene they could never forget, finally understood why Qingshui hadn't taken advantage of his great victory to wipe out all the enemies in the world.

A strange feeling welled up in their hearts.

Although theoretically, Qingshui is their enemy, the Konoha demon they hate the most…

But at this moment, these ninjas from other villages felt that they had done something unforgivable. They were like brats who ran over to be beaten up after Aoshui proposed a peace agreement and started a war.

But Qingshui, this kind father, had to not only educate them, but also painstakingly leave them some leeway.

The Sage of Six Paths sighed softly, not even bothering to acknowledge Tobirama Senju's repeated mention of sealing him away...

I developed a complex sense of identification with Qingshui.

"Qingshui is just like I used to be... On one hand, I had to seal away Kaguya's mother who had fallen into demonic possession, and on the other hand, I had to take care of the newly born ninja world. I carried the moral condemnation and pressure in my heart and carried the burden alone..." The Sage of Six Paths thought to himself.

Looking at Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama standing by her side, Yekura felt even more confident: "But a problem still arose... Aozumi told me that because the information passed down from ancient times was too ancient, he sealed it incorrectly..."

"Inside him is a woman named Kaguya, who was the goddess of the ninja world in ancient times and the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, but she was sealed away by his evil son!"

Ye Cang said in a loud voice:

"Sage of Six Paths, have you been hiding in the Pure Land all along? It was precisely because Aozumi discovered this that he was worried that among the ninjas Tobirama Senju had resurrected through Edo Tensei, you might be tampering with them! Aozumi was worried that if he appeared before the people of Konoha, you would devour Kaguya's chakra, regain your full power, and destroy the ninja world!"

"So, by a twist of fate, Aoshui could only find me... The other ninjas who could intervene in the battlefield were either controlled by Isshiki or had reanimated ninjas by their side!"

Yecang shouted with great momentum, "Qingshui asked me to tell everyone that the power of the Rabbit Goddess largely comes from the belief in everyone's hearts!"

"Although other extraterrestrial beings appeared, disrupting Qing Shui's plan to have Isshiki and the Sage of Six Paths fight each other..."

"But Aokiji and Kaguya are still waiting for the belief in your hearts to give them strength! Don't give up!"

Ye Cang stared at the Sage of Six Paths with a death-defying resolve and said angrily, "Sage of Six Paths, what else do you want to say!"

The Sage of Six Paths fell silent, narrowed his eyes, and began to ponder…

Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

Something is wrong!

Qingshui's instructions to Yecang contained some serious logical flaws, which were inconsistent with the intellectual capacity Qingshui should have…

However, upon closer examination, it seems remarkably like a conversation between undercover agents under surveillance or restriction!

This is a coded message!

Qingshui wanted to use Yecang to let everyone know something...

"Qingshui's situation is very bad right now..."

A moment later, Teboro let out a long breath, instantly connecting all the clues: "Listen to me, I understand the whole truth!"

And at this moment.

Standing atop a valley, gazing at the boundless ocean, Qingshui toyed with the Otsutsuki clan's treasure, the "Plow," and said softly, "Kaguya, you who deceived me, you must have something to say, right?"

Chapter 270 Kaguya's Unexplained Fate, the Otsutsuki Mindset

Qing Shui!

Aokiji demanded an explanation from Kaguya…

Kaguya stammered, her mind a jumble of thoughts, unable to utter a single word.

Family members, who knows?

Why would there be a man like Ichishiki in the Otsutsuki clan who is so shameless, hiding in the ninja world to spy on me, collect all sorts of information, and then reveal it all to Aoshizu's face?

Kaguya really wanted to tear Isshiki's mouth apart!

But obviously—unfortunately—it can't be done.

Qingshui already knows the whole truth!

Kaguya was never the goddess of the ninja world, but rather a source of calamity that would drain the entire ninja world dry…

The Sage of Six Paths is a positive character, a guardian of the ninja world who, like Aozuki, sealed the Ten-Tails with his physical body and imprisoned Kaguya!

This is a lie that cannot be explained away with the weak excuse of a misunderstanding...

In order to create and maintain this persona, Kaguya constantly hinted and emphasized to Aozumi from the beginning, and even deeply empathized with him when he talked to her about his aversion to deception and betrayal...

Now it's a boomerang.

Kaguya is now a liar and a traitor. The words she and Aoshui used to criticize the Sage of Six Paths are now being used against her exactly as they were said.

"Don't want to say it?"

Aozuki sighed softly and said slowly, "According to Isshiki, you are not actually the savior goddess of the rabbit, but rather a branch family member of the Otsutsuki clan who overthrew the main family..."

"You did create two separate entities, Hamura and Hagoromo Otsutsuki, that much you didn't lie to me about. However, it wasn't Hagoromo who coveted your power and attacked you; it was your two children, who rejected you, who sealed you away because you wanted to destroy the ninja world..."

Qingshui smiled: "Based on my understanding of your combat skills, this is indeed the performance you should be putting on... Let me guess, after you created your two sons, you became so panicked about the future pursuers of the Otsutsuki clan that you neglected their education..."

"Your two sons, however, can only interact with the creatures of the ninja world, and have developed feelings for this land. As new lives, they lack the arrogance you have as an Otsutsuki and have neglected basic fighting techniques..."

"As things stand, when your negotiations break down and you suddenly launch an attack, the wildly grown Otsutsuki Hamura and Hagoromo are able to skillfully use the natural energy of the ninja world and various techniques to fight against you, to the point that they actually seal you away."

Seeing Kaguya's increasingly terrified expression, Qing Shui asked curiously:

"Let me think... Judging from the toad of Mount Myōboku's tireless promotion of the so-called Child of Prophecy... wasn't it this toad who was very close to Hagoromo Otsutsuki back then, and taught him the native power system of the ninja world?"

Kaguya's heart skipped a beat!

Qing Shui guessed it all…

The true history of the ninja world that Ichishiki hadn't finished telling has been completely and accurately pieced together by Aoshui's deductions...

At this point, Kaguya had nothing more to say.

"me…"

Kaguya lowered her head, her teeth clenched, unsure how to reply to Aozumi.

During the time she was inside Aozumi's body, aside from the initial conflict between the two due to a misunderstanding that led to Aozumi tying up and torturing Kaguya...

After that, Kaguya was extremely satisfied with every little thing she did with Aoshui.

Although Aozumi's obsession with the ninja world somewhat displeased Kaguya, his insistence on protecting it rather than making a strategic retreat, also brought Kaguya a sense of security in another way...

Even weak and worthless former companions, Aoshui was willing to risk protecting them. Although it was a bit silly, it was the quality that Kaguya, who lacked a sense of security, actually longed for the most.

If Aokiji had simply listened to Kaguya's few words and then abandoned the rest of the ninja world, choosing to avoid battle and only thinking about preserving himself...

Kaguya, on the contrary, felt that this kind of Qingshui was not so trustworthy.

Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable display of double standards.

While attending school in Konoha, Aozumi, with a gentle attitude and exceptional patience, gave Kaguya an experience she had never had before within the dog-eat-dog, hierarchical Otsutsuki clan, focusing on her weakest area: combat.
