"Brat, that's impossible!"
Tsunade was deeply influenced by Senju Tobirama. Even if she had a good impression of Bai Mu, deeply ingrained beliefs were not easily changed, so she said it emphatically.
"You suspect I have some ulterior motive?"
Bai Mu knew what Tsunade meant, but merely chuckled softly, not bothered by her distrust. No amount of distrust could stand against the mandate of heaven.
He said with a firm tone, "But, it's the truth!"
As his voice fell, the scene changed. A figure with Rinnegan, two horns on his forehead, wearing a white robe, and holding a Sage's staff appeared.
"Who is this?"
Tsunade asked with a puzzled expression.
Wait, that's the Rinnegan, isn't it? Could it be that so-called Six Paths Sage?
"This is the Six Paths Sage, also known as Hagoromo Otsutsuki. He had two sons, Indra and Asura, and they are the origin of the Uchiha and Senju. One inherited the Sage Eyes, which is the Sharingan, and the other inherited the Sage Body."
The Six Paths Sage, and his sons, and then the Uchiha and Senju?
Tsunade was incredibly shocked at this moment, finding it a bit hard to accept for a while. She really felt this whole thing was getting more and more outrageous, and was this evil Uchiha brat really trying to fool her?
She couldn't help but be suspicious, or rather, any normal person would be suspicious.
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki also had a brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, and he is the ancestor of the Hyuga Clan. In reality, all the affairs of the Ninja World are the affairs of the Otsutsuki. The truly strong in the Ninja World have never been those so-called mediocre people, but those related to the Otsutsuki. If you don't have the Otsutsuki bloodline, then you won't be able to accomplish great things. You see the Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga as typical examples."
Tsunade remained silent, consumed by shock and doubt, while Bai Mu continued to speak, once again dropping a bombshell.
Again?
Now it's the Hyuga Clan?
Crucially, the Six Paths Sage also had a younger brother, and he also had descendants, who turned out to be the Hyuga Clan. This was truly quite explosive and outrageous!
Before Tsunade could speak, Bai Mu continued, throwing more bombs.
"And the mother of these two brothers, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, is the true progenitor of Chakra!"
As Bai Mu's words fell, a figure slowly appeared, sacred and cold, elegant and majestic, dressed in a white robe, with two horns on her forehead, and hair that was longer than her entire body.
She exuded a sacred and inviolable aura, giving Tsunade an indescribable pressure. Was the woman in front of her real or fake?
No, this is Bai Mu's genjutsu. In this genjutsu space, he can do anything he wants, so everything I see might not be real.
"Didn't you say Uchiha Madara? Why are you going so far off topic? Talk about Uchiha Madara."
Take back the initiative!
Tsunade knew this well; she couldn't let Bai Mu lead her by the nose and be swayed by these things of unknown truth. Who knew if they were real or fake?
Your so-called Otsutsuki, who knows if they're real.
Bai Mu said, "The Eye of the Moon Plan. The Uchiha have a stone tablet that records the message of peace supposedly left by the Six Paths Sage. For the sake of peace, he resolutely embarked on this path of peace."
"Peace?"
Tsunade's expression was strange, finding it truly hard to believe.
Uchiha Madara seeking peace? That guy attacked Konoha with the Nine-Tailed. After the battle at the Valley of the End, my grandfather died not long after. Now you're telling me Uchiha Madara was for peace... No, what kind of peace is that?
What kind of peace was he striving for?
"You're telling me Uchiha Madara was for peace, I really don't understand how he defines peace." Tsunade genuinely wanted to know what kind of peace Uchiha Madara pursued.
"Uchiha Madara, through the stone tablet left by the Six Paths Sage, came to believe that the Infinite Tsukuyomi could achieve permanent peace. Therefore, his objective was this Eye of the Moon Plan."
Hearing Bai Mu say this, Tsunade felt it was a complete fantasy. She couldn't help but scoff, "Uchiha Madara pursuing permanent peace? The problem is, there's no such thing as permanent peace in this world..."
Uchiha Madara for peace, and permanent peace at that?
If I were to say such a thing, I couldn't even imagine it.
Bai Mu shrugged, and said indifferently, "That's just how it is. Uchiha Madara indeed did all of this for peace, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi was the peace he sought, the so-called permanent peace. He genuinely believed that this was a great plan to achieve permanent peace. That's why he fought and broke ties with Senju Hashirama. Although he was defeated, he still obtained Senju Hashirama's power and awakened the Rinnegan..."
"Wait, Uchiha Madara?"
Tsunade couldn't help but interrupt at this point.
This is too abstract, how is my grandfather involved in this? And what's with this Rinnegan? How did Uchiha Madara even get the Rinnegan?
Seriously, there are problems everywhere, leaving Tsunade full of doubts, not knowing how to comprehend it all.
Bai Mu smiled calmly and explained, "That's right. Since I've already said that the affairs of the Ninja World are the affairs of the Otsutsuki, the sons of the Six Paths Sage are naturally indispensable. Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama are the Chakra reincarnations of Indra and Asura. Otherwise, how could they be so powerful? Essentially, it's because they are considered the sons of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. The strength of these Chakra reincarnations throughout history has been very formidable, but in this generation, Senju Hashirama suppressed Uchiha Madara, meaning Asura's Chakra reincarnation completely suppressed Indra's Chakra reincarnation."
Tsunade: "..."
Silence, still silence.
Wait, what's the deal with the Rinnegan?
Thinking of this, she quickly asked, "Then what's the situation with the Rinnegan? According to what you're saying, what's going on with that brat from the Land of Rain and his Rinnegan?"
To this, Bai Mu explained, "It's Uchiha Madara's. The awakening of the Rinnegan requires the combination of Uchiha and Senju power, but more importantly, Indra's Chakra and Asura's Chakra. In a thousand years, only Uchiha Madara successfully awakened the Rinnegan. Nagato is merely Uchiha Madara's eye vessel, to put it plainly, a tool for resurrection."
"You're saying this proxy is that brat?" Although Tsunade was still half-believing, considering that Bai Mu even knew about those three brats from the Land of Rain, no matter how much she doubted, she couldn't convince herself that this matter was false.
Because she had indeed seen the Rinnegan, and besides Jiraiya and Orochimaru, no one else knew about it.
Where did Bai Mu learn this? There's no reason Jiraiya or Orochimaru would have told him; that's impossible.
Therefore, even if Tsunade remained suspicious, the matter of Nagato's Rinnegan could not be doubted.
And according to this explanation, the proxy was Nagato.
Wasn't it mentioned before?
I think it was.
Tsunade naturally grew suspicious. Although she was still half-believing, half-doubting, she couldn't help but speculate, and this was the conclusion she reached after considering Bai Mu's statements.
