The Innately Evil Senju Clan! I'll Personally...

At Konoha's Ninja Academy, Second Pillar sat uneasily. Behind him stood a butler staring coldly at him, while across from him sat the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Behind the Third Hokage stood a line of Anbu ninja. The two sat facing each other, and Second Pillar, as a student of the Ninja Academy, was forcibly placed on equal footing with Konoha's highest authority, the Third Hokage!

Even someone as arrogant as Second Pillar was too nervous to speak in such a situation. After all, he had never imagined that just minutes ago, he had thought an attacker was about to kill him, only for that attacker to become his butler minutes later. Then, for no apparent reason, he had become the clan head of the Otsutsuki clan—not the Uchiha clan, but the Otsutsuki clan! And now he was sitting face-to-face with the Hokage as an equal.

He had never even heard of this Otsutsuki clan!

Sasuke was not the only one confused. The Third Hokage sitting opposite him was confused as well.

After confirming that Li Yue had not come to Konoha to kill or abduct anyone, the Third Hokage had temporarily stopped fighting him. Still, he remained deeply suspicious of Li Yue's words. Originally, the Third Hokage had wanted to invite Li Yue and Sasuke to the Hokage's office, but Li Yue completely ignored him, so they could only discuss matters in detail at the academy.

For the students' safety, every student had already been evacuated from the academy. However, that also meant the news of Sasuke becoming part of the Otsutsuki clan had spread. There was no helping it. The entire academy had heard Li Yue's earlier words, and there was no way to keep it secret.

Unless the Third Hokage could ensure Li Yue's death and force every student to keep silent, perhaps even using curse marks or sealing their memories, Li Yue's declaration that Sasuke would become the Otsutsuki clan head had already become a settled fact. Konoha's major clans would soon receive this intelligence.

The Third Hokage coughed softly and took the initiative to speak.

"Sasuke, could you please..."

"Watch your attitude, brat from the Sarutobi clan!"

Li Yue directly cut off Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"You are facing the clan head of the Otsutsuki clan, the inheritor of Indra's Eye, and the future Ruler of the Ninja World! Although this current clan head is both useless and incompetent, he is still not someone a brat from the Sarutobi clan like you can try to associate yourself with. Show some respect when you speak!"

Li Yue's cold words made Sasuke grit his teeth, wishing he could kick Li Yue. Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelids twitched, and the Anbu behind him wanted to draw their blades and cut someone down. But the Third Hokage raised his hand slightly to stop them. Please, they had only just climbed back up from the ground a few minutes ago. Don't end up sprawled on it again.

"This old man was discourteous, Clan Head Otsutsuki."

Compromising with outsiders was what Hiruzen Sarutobi did best. He chose to address Sasuke respectfully because he still had not figured out Li Yue's background, and the Ninja Academy was located deep within Konoha. It would not be wise to make too big a scene.

"Since what the butler behind you said is truly too unbelievable, could you ask him to explain the meaning of his words? For instance, the Otsutsuki clan, Indra's Eye, and this future Ruler of the Ninja World."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted intelligence. The Otsutsuki clan Li Yue had mentioned earlier had already made him extremely curious, and now Li Yue had casually dropped two more key terms.

Sasuke also desperately wanted to know what was going on, so he turned to look at Li Yue. Li Yue glanced at him.

"Hmph. Although you are both useless and incompetent as the clan head of the Otsutsuki clan, you should indeed know the history of the Otsutsuki clan as its clan head!"

His fist clenched tight! Sasuke clenched both hands hard. Can you stop calling me useless and incompetent every single time you talk about me?!

After verbally abusing Sasuke, Li Yue raised his head and looked at the Third Hokage and the Anbu ninja across from him.

"Listen carefully, you ignorant and weak pieces of trash!"

"The so-called Otsutsuki clan are the ancestors of the Chakra you use!"

"The ancestors of Chakra?"

The Third Hokage frowned.

"A thousand years ago, the Rabbit Goddess known as Otsutsuki Kaguya descended upon the Ninja World. At the time, it was not yet called the Ninja World, because there was not a single ninja. She was the first person to master the power of Chakra. She brought peace to that chaotic world, and people lived happy, fulfilling lives!"

"Amid the people's worship and blessings, Otsutsuki Kaguya gave birth to two sons, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura!"

"By your current terms, Otsutsuki Hagoromo was the so-called ancestor of ninja, the Sage of Six Paths! Otsutsuki Hamura was Otsutsuki Hagoromo's younger brother."

"What? The Sage of Six Paths was named Otsutsuki? Then does that mean...?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Sasuke in shock. Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise as well. So the Uchiha were descendants of the Sage of Six Paths?

But Hiruzen Sarutobi did not immediately believe him.

"What proof do you have?"

"Sarutobi Brat, I am merely recounting this history for the useless and incompetent current clan head. I do not care whether you believe me!"

Li Yue's retort left Hiruzen Sarutobi speechless, while a vein bulged on Sasuke's forehead.

"Otsutsuki Kaguya ruled the entire world alongside her two sons. However, the former rulers were unwilling to submit to another's rule, so they rebelled against Otsutsuki Kaguya. The Rabbit Goddess easily defeated them. To punish them, she hung every rebel from the God Tree and turned them into vegetative White Zetsu. That was the retribution those rebels deserved!"

"However, what Otsutsuki Kaguya had not expected was that her sons would also develop thoughts of rebellion. The Rabbit Goddess belonged to a naturally long-lived race and could live forever, but Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura were different. They were human sons, subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death. As time passed, they would eventually die before Otsutsuki Kaguya. So, in pursuit of supreme power, they joined forces and rebelled against Otsutsuki Kaguya!"

"In the end, they defeated Otsutsuki Kaguya and became the new holders of supreme authority!"

"So that was how it happened?"

The Third Hokage was deeply shocked.

"After defeating Kaguya, the brothers began dividing authority. Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the elder brother, received the Ninja World, while Otsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother, received the moon. Each of them had their own territory."

"The moon!"

The Anbu ninja could not help raising their heads toward the ceiling. They had never expected there to be people on the moon.

"Why are you so shocked that there are people on the moon? They have even been watching you all this time, while you know nothing. You useless fools who have never even left the Ninja World, bound to the ground by gravity!"

Damn it, his blood pressure was rising!

The Third Hokage felt that he needed some blood pressure medicine.

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who had obtained the Ninja World, was the only person in the Ninja World with Chakra. But his rebellion made the people of the Ninja World believe that they, too, had a chance to seize that supreme position. As the ruler of the Ninja World, he could not personally suppress every rebellion."

"Therefore, Otsutsuki Hagoromo shared some of his Chakra with several subordinates. To prevent those subordinates from gaining enough power to resist him, he gave them only a small amount of Chakra. After obtaining Chakra, those people became ninja under Otsutsuki Hagoromo's guidance. They were the ancestors of ordinary ninja like you, such as the Sarutobi clan you belong to, Sarutobi Brat."

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo ruled the Ninja World for over a hundred years. During those hundred years, the Ninja World was incomparably peaceful. Otsutsuki Hagoromo also fathered two sons, Otsutsuki Indra and Otsutsuki Asura. Indra was the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, born with the Sharingan. Back then, it was not called the Sharingan—it was called Indra's Eye!"

"By the way, Otsutsuki Hagoromo also possessed a pair of special eyes, the Rinnegan from your legends. As for why Indra did not inherit the Rinnegan, it was because his mother was not from the Otsutsuki clan. She was an ordinary person whom Otsutsuki Hagoromo had favored and granted Chakra. Thus, his Otsutsuki bloodline was diluted."

Good. He had finally learned the information behind the key term Indra's Eye, and even gained intelligence related to the Rinnegan.

"Wait, the Rinnegan gave rise to the Sharingan. Does that mean...?"

The Third Hokage looked at Li Yue, seeking an answer, but Li Yue did not answer him.

"As the elder brother, Indra was born with powerful ocular power and ocular techniques. As the younger brother, Asura inherited neither ocular techniques nor ocular power."

"Indra, as the elder brother, was powerful and outstanding. Otsutsuki Hagoromo greatly favored him and designated him as his successor. It was not merely because of his great strength, but because he had inherited Otsutsuki Hagoromo's powerful ocular power and ocular techniques. In the Otsutsuki clan, powerful ocular power and ocular techniques were the foundation!"

"The Nine Tailed Beasts in your eyes were weapons created by Otsutsuki Hagoromo. The method to control the Nine Tailed Beasts was the ocular power of the Rinnegan. Although Indra's ocular power had been diluted due to his mother's influence, controlling the Nine Tailed Beasts was still effortless for him."

"Hmph, our First Hokage could easily control Tailed Beasts too!"

An Anbu ninja could not help but retort.

"Really? Then could your First Hokage make Tailed Beasts obey his words? You useless fool who cannot even distinguish between trapping a Tailed Beast and controlling one!"

"You..."

The Anbu ninja who had just been insulted again gritted his teeth, then ultimately gave up arguing.

"His younger brother Asura appeared to agree, but inwardly, he was deeply Envy of his powerful older brother. He wanted to ascend to that supreme position."

"After the Sage of Six Paths died, Indra inherited his position, while Asura infiltrated the Ninja World. Weak as he was, he began seeking power. He obtained the power of an Adepti from a toad, then launched a rebellion against his older brother!"

"The powerful Indra easily defeated Asura. I advised Indra to kill Asura, but Indra was unwilling to kill his own younger brother."

!!

Wasn't Indra supposed to be someone from a thousand years ago? Could Li Yue have lived for more than a thousand years?!

"Indra, you will regret this!"

"Li Yue, I am the Ruler of the Ninja World!"

Li Yue's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Indra was proud. He believed that, with his power, nothing would happen even if he spared his younger brother. But reality proved that my advice back then had been correct. After the innately evil Asura was released, he realized that he could not defeat Indra alone, so he began distributing Chakra in an attempt to develop an army of his own."

"Those chaotic elements hidden within the Ninja World saw an opportunity to rise and flocked to Asura's side. Asura's forces grew stronger, and he even developed and propagated the Asura Clan."

"The innately evil Asura Clan launched a rebellion against the Indra Clan. Unlike Asura's previous rebellion, which he had launched alone, this rebellion swept across the entire Ninja World and split it in two."

"The innately evil Asura was extremely cunning. He never fought Indra head-on. No matter how many members of the Asura Clan Indra killed, it was useless, because as long as Asura remained alive, he could father new clansmen!"

"Only after Indra had become extremely old did Asura dare appear before him. For the peace of the Ninja World, Indra did not show mercy this time. He killed Asura, but his old age left him gravely wounded, and he died as well."

"After Indra died, the bloodline he left behind gradually evolved into the present-day Uchiha clan. As the bloodline became increasingly diluted, they became more and more useless and incompetent!"

As he said that, Li Yue gave Sasuke a disdainful glance, making Sasuke grit his teeth once more.

"As for Asura's bloodline, it evolved with the ages into the innately evil Senju clan. They constantly entangled themselves with the Uchiha clan, throwing the entire Ninja World into increasing chaos, until it eventually developed into the present state of disorder among the various ninja clans."

"What?!"

This time, the Third Hokage was truly stunned.

The Senju clan, the illustrious Forest Senju Clan, even the founders of Konoha—how could they possibly be an innately evil clan? On the contrary, the Uchiha clan should have been the innately evil clan!

"Hmph! I know what you are thinking, innately evil Sarutobi Brat! Taught by the innately evil Senju clan, you know nothing of true history. You have only innately evil thoughts!"

"Think about Senju Tobirama, who taught you—that innately evil Senju Brat. His heart was forever filled with dark thoughts. Useless and incompetent himself, he only knew how to darkly suspect others. Whether it was the Ninjutsu he developed or his way of doing things, everything about him was incomparably dark. That was the innate evil displayed by Asura's bloodline!"

Li Yue stared coldly at Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving him unable to refute it, because his teacher's Ninjutsu and methods really were somewhat...

"Think whatever you want. True history will not change because of the innately evil Senju clan!"

"And do not think I do not know what you did five years ago!"

The Third Hokage's expression finally turned solemn. Previously, while listening to Li Yue's stories, he had merely considered them intelligence. But now Li Yue actually knew about what had happened five years ago.

What had happened five years ago? Naturally, it was the destruction of the Uchiha clan.

The Third Hokage hurriedly changed the subject, shifting it onto Li Yue.

"Since you have lived until now, why did you not appear before this? You said the Senju clan caused the Ninja World's disasters, so why did you not stop them?"

"Hmph! What the hell does the Ninja World have to do with me? I am Indra's butler, not the butler of that bunch of useless descendants! I promised him I would look after his descendants, but I only ensured that the bloodline of his useless descendants would not be cut off. If it were not for Uchiha Itachi, that stupid and incompetent trash, leaving Indra's descendants with only this one useless fool, I would never have come out to waste time with you useless and incompetent fools!"

"Alright, I have said more or less everything that needed to be said."

Li Yue clapped his hands.

"Trash outside, stop hiding. You can get in here and scram!"

The moment his words fell, shadows appeared throughout the classroom and surrounded Li Yue and Second Pillar.

When Did You Start Thinking I Wasn't Using Genjutsu?!

While ordering the students evacuated, Hiruzen Sarutobi had also had the Anbu notify his old partner, the Root of Konoha, Konoha's—and even the entire Ninja World's—designated scapegoat, the First Pot Shadow—Shimura Danzō!

Who was Shimura Danzō, you asked? Simply put, anyone Hiruzen Sarutobi dared to kill, Shimura Danzō also dared to kill. Anyone Hiruzen Sarutobi did not dare to kill, Shimura Danzō still dared to kill! He needed no one's permission, and after killing them, he did not need to submit a report! At worst, he would take the blame afterward! Everything was for Konoha! That was Konoha's pot, Shimura Danzō!

There was even a saying that if you discovered something in the Ninja World and did not know who had done it, then Danzō had probably done it!

Upon receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's message, this Darkness of the Ninja World immediately led his loyal Root ninja into the Ninja Academy. After entering the academy, he heard Li Yue's grandiose claims and was thoroughly disdainful.

Some nobody he had never heard of dared claim that the Senju clan was innately evil? As for the information Hiruzen Sarutobi had provided about someone being able to render others unable to move, he had probably awakened some special Kekkei Genkai. Hmph, perfect. He could capture him for research and strengthen Root's forces!

After Li Yue finished speaking, Shimura Danzō ordered the Root ninja to enter and surround him.

"Hmph! What outrageous nonsense! You dare slander the Senju clan that founded Konoha!"

Only after all the Root ninja had entered did Shimura Danzō slowly walk into the classroom, leaning on his cane.

This Darkness of the Ninja World had his right arm and right eye fully wrapped in bandages. Rather than looking like a ninja, he looked more like a severely wounded cripple.

"Hiruzen, you are actually wasting time with this clown who popped up out of nowhere. You are truly disgracing Konoha!"

After berating Li Yue, Danzō did not forget to berate Hiruzen as well.

"He is merely someone with a Kekkei Genkai. If your Anbu cannot capture someone like this, then my Root will do it!"

"Danzō, do not act recklessly!"

Seeing that Danzō intended to make a move, Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly tried to stop him. But who was Danzō? Those Hiruzen Sarutobi did not dare kill, Shimura Danzō would kill!

"Capture him!"

Danzō gave the order, and the Root ninja surrounding Li Yue rushed forward. They pinned Li Yue's shoulders and pressed him directly to the ground.

"Nani?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Li Yue, who had been pinned to the ground, in shock. No, what was this situation?

You had not acted like this when facing me just now! You made every one of my Anbu lie on the ground. You even made it impossible for me to move quickly. Yet the moment Danzō showed up, you dropped to your knees? Were you putting on an act for me earlier?!

They had clearly been enemies not long ago, yet Hiruzen Sarutobi hoped Li Yue would perform better. It felt rather subtle.

"Hmph! Hiruzen, you have truly fallen. You were actually fooled by this posturing fool. Have your eyes grown so dim with age that you cannot even see an enemy's true strength anymore?!"

Having successfully captured Li Yue, Danzō looked extremely pleased and even berated Hiruzen Sarutobi again. His words made Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turn ugly.

Seeing Hiruzen's ugly expression, Danzō's face filled with delighted smiles. Hmph! As expected, only I can save Konoha! Hiruzen is old!

But Hiruzen Sarutobi still gave a stubborn rebuttal.

"Danzō, you do not get to question my decisions. Remember, I am the Hokage!"
