Chapter 151 Deciphering the Goddess of the Rabbit

"Back to the main point!" Ning Yuan said calmly, "The fact that the Goddess of the Rabbit will end the chaos first proves that she must be a loving and peace-loving person!"

"Mmm!" Black Zetsu nodded, that was for sure.

"You just said that the Goddess of the Rabbit divided her divine power to give birth to children, which proves that the Goddess of the Rabbit doesn't have a strong desire for power!" Ning Yuan continued, "Otherwise, why would she divide her power?"

"Hmm, hmm?" Kuroze was bewildered. Wasn't it intense?

I seem to remember that my mother activated Infinite Tsukuyomi to reclaim its power!

Besides, childbirth is not something the mother does voluntarily!

However, whatever you say goes.

That kid's sharp-tongued; you can't out-argue him!

The main reason is that the image of his mother in this boy's mouth is so great that he can't bear to ruin it.

"So here's the question: why would a goddess who loved and created a golden age suddenly change her personality and turn to destroy the world?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Ah, this..." Hei Jue was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head.

Yes, why did the mother suddenly start fighting with her son?

He didn't realize it until he thought about it, and then he realized there might be something going on behind the scenes.

Thinking of how many peaceful ninja clans and nations suddenly launched wars because of his instigation behind the scenes.

Could it be that someone is also stirring up trouble between Mother and the Sage of Six Paths?

But they are a mother and son. Who would try to sow discord between a mother and son?

Moreover, according to Black Zetsu's understanding, it was indeed his mother who initiated the war back then, and the Sage of Six Paths was only passively retaliating.

Of course, although the fault lay with the mother, Hei Jue only recognized the mother and not right or wrong, and didn't care about these things.

He was also curious about what reason might have prompted his mother to suddenly want to destroy the world.

"I don't know either," Hei Jue shook his head. "It seems that my understanding of history from a thousand years ago is no more than yours."

"It's alright, let's analyze it together!" Ning Yuan laughed. "I have a guess here, see if it's right!"

"Mhm!" Black Zetsu nodded, just like Madara. At first, he didn't take Ning Yuan seriously, but as they talked, he realized that the kid's level was not right.

In the end, I started to believe him a little.

"First of all, I have never seen any records of the Goddess of the Rabbit in any history books from various places. Was she transformed from a human into a god? Or was she some other kind of being? Where was her fiefdom? Where was her original country? I know nothing about it!"

Hei Jue nodded proudly, "Of course! My mother came down from heaven!"

"At first, I thought the Goddess of the Rabbit erased these records, because very few records of other gods have survived to this day. But then I thought, that doesn't make sense. It's understandable that the Goddess of the Rabbit would erase the records of other gods, but why would she erase her own?"

Hei Zetsu nodded. This is clearly an honor, why should it be erased?

"I also suspect that this might have been erased by the Sage of Six Paths. But the Sage of Six Paths is the son of the Goddess of the Rabbit. He didn't even erase the record of his own mother's drastic change in personality, so why would he erase the record of the Goddess of the Rabbit?"

Black Zetsu nodded again, confirming that it was indeed not erased by the Sage of Six Paths.

"I also suspect that the entire historical record is actually false. The story of the Rabbit Goddess's drastic change in temperament was fabricated by the Sage of Six Paths. He didn't want to be the crown prince for fifty years, so he made up some excuse to rebel against his own mother!"

Hei Jue was stunned. Could someone really think that way?!

However, at first glance, it seems to make a lot of sense, and this statement is exactly what Hei Jue wanted!

This can be written like this when compiling the "Chronicles of the Goddess of Rabbit" later.

But then Ning Yuan said, "There are too many books that record the drastic change in the temperament of the Goddess of Rabbit. Not only in the Land of Fire, but also in the other five great countries, small countries, and even the remote Land of Snow, there are similar records!"

Why are these tiny, insignificant countries only recording bad things about my mother?

At this moment, Hei Jue suddenly felt a little more in agreement with Ning Yuan's ideal of unifying the world.

These small countries really need to be wiped out!

"So, it's true that the Goddess of the Rabbit's personality changed drastically. The Sage of Six Paths didn't alter history, which means the Goddess of the Rabbit really was a deity who suddenly appeared! So where did the Goddess of the Rabbit come from?"

Black Zetsu blinked, realizing for the first time the terror of humanity.

In just a short while, one person, relying on fragments of books and snippets of notes, managed to reconstruct the truth of history.

However, he was genuinely curious as to why his mother's personality had changed so drastically.

"I was about to give up, but I soon discovered new hope. The book that recorded the marriage between the Goddess of the Rabbit and the Emperor of the Land of Ancestors says that the Goddess of the Rabbit fell from the sky!"

"You said before that the marriage between the Goddess of the Rabbit and the Emperor of the Land of Ancestors is pure nonsense, but there are more than one record of the Goddess of the Rabbit descending from the sky. The Tale of Genji, a book in the court of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, says that the Goddess of the Rabbit descended from the moon, hence the name Goddess of the Rabbit, also known as the Goddess of the Moon. That is to say, the Goddess of the Rabbit descended from the moon!"

"Archaeologists have unearthed many ancient texts in the ancestral lands of the Uzumaki clan. Among them is a book called 'Uzumaki Kazuki,' which records that Uzumaki Kazuki's father was Senyo, Senyo's father was Sakeya, Sakeya's father was Ashura, Ashura's father was the Sage of Six Paths, the Sage of Six Paths had no father, and his mother was the Goddess of the Moon. The Goddess of the Moon fell when the moon was at its zenith, and her ancestors are unknown!"

"It means that Uzumaki's father is named Senyo, Senyo's father is named Sakeya, Sakeya's father is named Ashura, Ashura's father is the Sage of Six Paths, the Sage of Six Paths has no father, his mother is the Goddess of the Moon, the Goddess of the Moon descended from the sky, and we don't know who her ancestors were."

Hei Jue was speechless. How could anyone still dig up the vortex clan's territory? And didn't the major powers take all of the vortex clan's records back then?

But thinking about it, it's quite normal. The war situation was urgent back then, and no one knew if Konoha would provide support, so they definitely had to hurry.

If you take the sealing technique manual, fine, but what's the point of taking the history book?

Unexpectedly, these books, which had nothing to do with sealing techniques, were unearthed by some archaeologists.

Are you sure this is an archaeologist? Or someone who's raiding a Uzumaki clan's tomb?

"These records are all outrageous, but there's a saying in detective science: eliminate the impossible, and what remains, however improbable, must be the truth!" Ning Yuan said confidently. "Since there are no records of the Goddess of Rabbit in previous history, and numerous records state that she descended from the sky, combined with her divine status, it's possible that she truly did descend from the sky."

Hei Jue was speechless; he was indeed certain.

This person is truly outrageous; he can talk his way out of things and even piece together the historical truth from a thousand years ago all by himself.

How can this person be so perverted!

Oh, he is his mother's descendant!

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel like I can understand it?

"Is this the end of the matter?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Uh, isn't it over yet?" Kuroze asked blankly. Hadn't they already confirmed his mother's background?

"Of course not!" Ning Yuan shook his head. "From the sky? Where in the sky?"

"Ah, the sky, isn't it just the sky?" Hei Jue was dumbfounded. What else could be in the sky?

"The ancients believed there was nothing in the sky, which stemmed from their limited understanding of the world. Now that we have discovered telescopes, we can observe the sky and find that the moon is actually a giant rocky planet, and the stars in the sky are actually suns. The sky is not the abode of gods, but a vast cosmic expanse!"

"Huh?!" Black Zetsu's eyes widened. Is this for real?

He hadn't paid any attention to the development of astronomy, so how would he know about this!

"We observed the moon with a telescope. Do you know what we saw?" Ning Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Hei Jue.

"Look, what do you see?" Because of Ning Yuan's sudden change in tone, Hei Jue also became inexplicably nervous.

"I saw living beings!" Ning Yuan's tone suddenly turned somewhat horrified.

"What?" Hei Jue was stunned. There were living beings on the moon?

"Yes, a group of beings wearing white robes and with white eyes. Their hair is tied up in a strange way, something like this!" Ning Yuan raised his hand and formed a hand seal, casting a transformation spell.

The next second, Black Zetsu almost slapped him.

Because he knows this person too well!

Isn't that Otsutsuki Hamura?!

In an instant, Hei Jue's face twisted in pain.

He immediately understood why the descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura were on the moon. It wasn't enough that they had sealed their mother away; they also wanted to watch over her for generations to come!

Those bastards!

"We all thought there were no living beings on the moon, but actual observations have shown otherwise!" Ning Yuan said calmly, putting away his transformation technique.

"You mean, the Goddess of the Rabbit came down from the moon?" Kuroze asked.

"That's possible!" Ning Yuan nodded, "But it's actually impossible!"

The genes of Ōtsutsuki Hamura were so stable that his descendants and the various descriptions of the goddess of the rabbit had a very high degree of similarity.

The logic that the goddess of the rabbit came down from the moon is completely sound!

"What do you mean by 'possible yet impossible'?" Hei Jue scratched his head. "I don't understand."

Oh no, I need to start thinking!

"Because it's too close!" Ning Yuan said, "Although the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 38 kilometers, if the Goddess of the Rabbit can come down, then the others should be able to too!"

"Perhaps the Goddess of the Rabbit is too strong, and no one else has the same strength?" Black Zetsu asked.

"Then there's no need for the Goddess of the Rabbit to change her personality so drastically!" Ning Yuan said calmly. "Since everyone else is weaker than her, she has no reason to fear the starry sky!"

"Afraid of the starry sky?" Hei Jue was bewildered again. "Why are you suddenly afraid of the starry sky?"

"This is the main reason I believe the Goddess of the Rabbit's personality has drastically changed!" Ning Yuan said. "You see, we thought there was no life on the moon, but after looking through a telescope, we found out that there actually is. So, in the universe where we thought there was no life, do you think there is life?"

"I guess, eh?" Black Zetsu's spirits inexplicably tightened.

This conjecture is a bit terrifying!

"If the Goddess of the Rabbit is the strongest being on the moon, then she wouldn't need to undergo such a drastic personality change; she could simply remain the Earth's ruler. If she isn't the strongest being on the moon, then she wouldn't be the only one to descend. And since we haven't found any records of anyone descending from the moon in later generations, this proves that the Goddess of the Rabbit didn't actually come from the moon. In fact, the opposite might be true. Legend says the Goddess of the Rabbit was sealed on the moon; perhaps the moon people we see now are actually her descendants?"

"Isn't the Goddess of the Rabbit able to create life with divine power? Perhaps that's how the people on the moon came to be!"

"And the goddess of the Rabbit herself did not come from the moon, but from the stars!"

Black Zetsu was at a loss for words. His logic was correct at the beginning, wrong in the middle, but the result was still correct!

"So, the Goddess of the Rabbit comes from the starry sky?" This was the first time Kuroze had heard of this. After thinking about it carefully, he found it quite logical.

Because the mother's appearance, ability system, and even the energy she uses are different from the native power of this planet.

Before the Goddess of the Rabbit, there was no chakra in this world.

"Now that it's confirmed the Goddess of the Rabbit comes from the stars, it makes sense why her personality changed so drastically!" Ning Yuan's tone turned serious as he said calmly, "If a Goddess of the Rabbit can appear in the starry sky, then a Goddess of the Sun, or some other god like a hunting goddess, a joyful goddess, or a war goddess, can also appear."

"Since deities can have offspring, they might also have romantic relationships and friendships with each other!"

"The Goddess of the Rabbit is so beautiful, do you think she has suitors, friends, or rivals?"

"Huh?" Kuroze was bewildered. "I've never thought about these questions before!"

So, true believers in the Goddess of Rabbit should think this far ahead?

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm not worthy of being a mother's son at all?

"The Goddess of the Rabbit comes from the starry sky. The Goddess of the Rabbit gave birth to offspring with her power. The Goddess of the Rabbit's personality changed drastically. The Goddess of the Rabbit fights with her offspring. The Goddess of the Rabbit has an opponent in the starry sky!" Ning Yuan said, "Put these five conditions together, what comes to mind?"

Hei Jue blinked. Even though he didn't have lungs, he inexplicably felt a little short of breath.

Letting out a long sigh, Kuroze said in disbelief, "The Goddess of the Rabbit's rival from the starry sky has come looking for her, and the Goddess of the Rabbit wants to kill her son and reclaim her power in order to fight him?"

"Indeed!" Ning Yuan patted Hei Jue on the shoulder. "Guess why I want to unify the world? Is it really just for world peace?"

"You want to gather the power of the entire world to deal with the threat in the stars!" Black Zetsu suddenly realized, then frowned: "But, can this really work? The Goddess of the Rabbit is a deity; even she fears power. You think you can rely on these mortals?"

"Relying on these mortals might not work, but without them, it definitely won't work!" Ning Yuan sighed. "I have no choice. After all, even the Goddess of the Rabbit was defeated back then. No matter how slim the hope, we have to try!"

"The Goddess of the Rabbit did not lose!" Kuroze immediately shook his head: "She was clearly defeated by her own son!"

"But if she can't even beat her own son, how can she face an opponent from outer space?"

"That's because she's not at her peak. If only she could reclaim her power!"

"Is she guaranteed to win?"

"Oh, this."

"If she retracts her power, will she be able to defeat her opponent in the starry sky?"

Hei Jue fell completely silent.
