Chapter 316 - Chapter 18: Legacy of History (2)_2

"I see, indeed it seems difficult to accept. Our conflict between the Uchiha and Senju Race is actually due to such a ridiculous reason for fighting incessantly."

A voice came from behind, only then did Hakushi realize that Ruri and Ayane had somehow arrived behind him, witnessing the past history unfolding with him.

"Speaking of which, when did you two arrive?"

Hakushi asked.

"Around the time your mind was almost in chaos. I called out to you but received no answer."

Ruri crossed her arms and said.

Ayane straightened her back, standing there with interest, saying, "If the history depicted above is true, it would mean that Senju Clan, Uchiha Race, Hyuga Clan, and Uzumaki Clan all originate from the same ancestor — that Goddess of Rabbit, Otsutsuki Kaguya. That's truly unexpected."

The living slug said, "I can guarantee that the contents above are completely true."

Although it seems hard to believe, this is the history of the ninja's birth, and the mysterious veil of the past that has never been unveiled before.

It's also everything the living slug experienced back then.

"It's not a matter of disbelief, just that if this part of history is revealed, not many people will believe it. After all, in the history of our Hyuga Clan, there's never been any such record. It might also be because I'm not part of the Main Family, so I can't access that part of the information."

At this point, Ayane looked towards Ruri.

Unlike herself, Ruri had a quite high status in the Uchiha Race in the past, she might know some secrets.

Ruri thought for a moment and said, "Before leaving Konoha, I used the Sharingan to view the tablet stored at Nankai Shrine, and it vaguely mentioned that the forces of Senju and Uchiha are of the same origin, as for the rest, I don't know much."

"No need to doubt, I trust the history presented by the living slug is real and credible."

Hakushi replied like this, choosing to believe the living slug.

Indeed, this historical data has traces of wild imagination, like a fantasy, but ninja and Chakra are inherently things that cannot be deduced by common sense.

Whether it's the history provided by the living slug or the Witch Mire, both vaguely mentioned the existence of the Six Paths Sage as real.

"Slugs, about Otsutsuki Kaguya coming from beyond the heavens, do you have any other clues?"

"Sorry, Lord Hakushi. Regarding the specific origins of Otsutsuki Kaguya, I am not very clear, just know this much, Gama-Maru on Mount Myoboku might know more."

The living slug answered with an apologetic tone.

"It had met the Six Paths Sage indeed, but the relationship was ordinary, and it wasn't particularly concerned with matters of the Ninja Realm."

It was merely out of sheer boredom that it contracted with humans, witnessing various different landscapes over a millennium.

Otherwise, even it would feel dull and tedious.

Signing a contract with humans, life instead became much more lively and interesting.

"Is it that Great Toad Sage again? Speaking of the Child of Prophecy mentioned during the Six Paths Sage era, including saving Minato... It really loves doing some boring things."

Hakushi put down the historical material in hand, slightly frowning.

Regarding the matter of the Child of Prophecy, he also learned some from this material.

In the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, the existence of the Child of Prophecy would bring true peace to the Ninja Realm.

"If prophecy can determine the future of humanity, doesn't it constitute the greatest irony and desecration to those who are striving hard for survival and working towards peace? The blood and tears, laughter and dreams, and the deeply imprinted pain humanity has endured until now would also become completely valueless."

Using prophecy to direct the future denies all past human history, and the future. This is the greatest arrogance.

For Hakushi, being human, this is the most intolerable thing.

Whether it's humiliation or glory, peace or war, they are all inseparable parts of human history.

Only by facing these can humans learn and grow from them, learning what's called growth.

Therefore, in Hakushi's view, the Great Toad Sage's prophecy to the Six Paths Sage about the Child of Prophecy is nothing but a wild notion.

"So is Lord Hakushi planning to immediately throw these historical materials into schools as history textbooks?"

The living slug asked about the business after moving past the topic of the Child of Prophecy.

Hakushi made it repeat the past history to fully pass on the true history, letting more people understand the past, drawing lessons and experiences from it, instead of simply handling it as intelligence material.

"It will definitely be implemented, but I'm considering when it's appropriate to implement it. After all, that creature called White Zetsu has already appeared, something not to be overlooked."

Hakushi frowned.

Moreover, this historical material involves many taboo things.

Such as the Ten-tailed, such as the dangerous power of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

How to spread it and when to spread it are decisions that cannot be made rashly, but require careful action.

Honestly, Hakushi is unsure about this matter.

What's more, the layout of the Land of Demons is just starting, not yet at the stage where it can ignore the Five Great Nations.

Spreading is one thing, acceptance is another.

The most important is those beings called White Zetsu from the Divine Tree are still alive in this world.

Their purpose of appearing is something Hakushi doesn't yet understand.
