Uchiha Nan: Tobirama, I'll come clean-I'm actually the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths!

After walking around with Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Nan tied him up and brought him back to the lab.

The lab was operating as usual, with ping-pong balls clattering incessantly, glass bottles exploding, and pungent, irritating gases leaking out. These kinds of things happened as frequently as any other day.

Taking advantage of his dead status, Tobirama Senju somewhat disregarded laboratory rules.

In any case, Orochimaru wouldn't dare to be as unrestrained in his experiments as Tobirama Senju.

Upon arriving at the innermost laboratory, Uchiha Nan found a sofa and sat down. Tobirama Senju still had a sullen face, probably because he hadn't had enough time to keep him occupied and was a little unhappy.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye; time really flies.

" Tobirama, did you watch this year's village gala?"

"Hmm, it's not bad."

"Did you make dumplings with Orochimaru?"

Uchiha Nan was joking, but unfortunately Tobirama Senju didn't get the joke.

"You're saying weird things again."

Tobirama Senju maintained his cold expression.

"Boring."

Uchiha Nan retorted with a pout, suddenly feeling a little lonely.

Even after becoming Hokage and possessing immense power, he was always alone in this world.

My hometown, which I once knew, I can never return to in this lifetime.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Tobirama Senju sensed the change in Uchiha Nan's emotions; this arrogant and ruthless bastard was actually showing such emotions.

"Nothing."

Uchiha Nan took a few seconds to adjust his mindset; wallowing in self-pity would never change anything. If there really was a way home, he'd have to fight his way through the world to have a chance of finding it.

We need to address some of the immediate problems now.

" Tobirama, if there were an old monster who was extremely skilled in Yin-Yang Release and Concealment Techniques, who had lived for over a thousand years, was naturally cautious, and had been following me all along."

I want to catch it now, do you have any good ideas?

Tobirama Senju was shocked by Uchiha Nan's sudden words. He looked up, about to speak, when he noticed that Uchiha Nan had eyeshadow on her eyes.

That's the symbol of the Sage Mode Myobokuzan.

What have you gotten yourself into trouble with this time that led you back to Konoha?

Tobirama Senju was in a real bind; that bastard Uchiha Nan was always causing trouble.

Uchiha Nan used Sensory Ninjutsu in Sage Mode to sense that Black Zetsu was wandering outside the laboratory, and dared not approach the laboratory even a step closer.

Ever since this cautious mouse recklessly entered the lab and almost got trapped by the lab's Sealing Jutsu, it has developed PTSD.

Every time Uchiha Nan entered the laboratory, it would hide outside and wait for Uchiha Nan to come out, refusing to step inside.

Uchiha Nan discovered this after several tests.

"Don't worry, it's not very offensive; it's just that it's lived a long time and is very good at hiding."

Seeing Tobirama Senju's worried expression, Uchiha Nan waved his hand, signaling Tobirama Senju not to be so nervous.

"So, who exactly is this person who's been following you all along?"

Tobirama Senju's brows relaxed; it was good that he posed no threat. He then inquired about Black Zetsu's identity.

"Do you remember the lab alarm from last time?"

"That's what triggered it. I remember saying he's the Sage of Sage of Six Paths ' younger brother."

"Now she's clinging to me, following me everywhere, making me feel really strange when I play games with Feng and Ling in the middle of the night."

Uchiha Nan gritted her teeth. She was busy with her own affairs in bed, and Black Zetsu was watching from the side. She really couldn't let him stay!

If it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy, I would have rushed over and beaten Black Zetsu to death.

However, Uchiha Nan held back. That old rascal Black Zetsu —if he failed in one attack, and then tried to catch him again, that would be...

"Are you telling the truth about the Sage of Six Paths' brother?"

Tobirama Senju showed a shocked expression, clearly not taking Uchiha Nan's words to heart at the time, and only thinking that Uchiha Nan was joking with him.

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

The Sage of Six Paths has a younger brother?

"There are two. The one with me is the third oldest, named Black Zetsu. The other one is the second oldest, who lives on the moon. The Hyuga Clan are descendants of the second oldest. They used to live on the moon, but I don't know why they came down. There are still people living on the moon now, the rest of them. They're probably still thinking about whether to set the Ninja world on fire."

Uchiha Nan picked at his ear and said casually.

"What?"

"How come you didn't tell me about something this big?!"

Tobirama Senju's voice instantly rose, his expression clearly betraying his shock. "How could Uchiha Nan say such terrifying news so calmly?"

"Be quiet, what's the point of me telling you?"

"First, we can't go to the moon. Second, we probably can't beat the people on the moon right now. If Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were in Konoha and willing to help, we could at least have a head-on fight with them."

The people on the moon... the Otsutsuki bloodline is intact, unlike the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines, which were directly split in two.

Furthermore, based on the timeline, it's estimated that there aren't many people left on the moon.

That Giant Tenseigan is almost complete.

This thing is on a completely different level of power.

However, Uchiha Nan wasn't worried about this at all, since their appearance wouldn't be delayed for decades anyway. Unless that damned butterfly effect was going to mess with him again!

"As for the third one, he's just a rat. If it hadn't been constantly bothering me, I wouldn't have bothered paying any attention to him."

Tobirama Senju frowned, digesting the information revealed by Uchiha Nan.

"You said the Hyuga clan on the moon wants to destroy the entire Ninja world."

"Does the Hyuga Clan of Konoha still maintain contact with the clansmen on the moon?"

I don't know, maybe.

Tobirama Senju's eyes suddenly sharpened, clearly indicating that he had developed different thoughts about the Hyuga Clan.

"You wouldn't be thinking of doing something underhanded to the Hyuga Clan, would you?"

The Tobirama Senju stuck out his butt, Uchiha Nan knew exactly what he was going to say.

"We must be on guard."

"Come on, a thousand years have passed. The Hyuga Clan and the people on the moon are practically two different species now. Their thoughts, talents, and strengths are worlds apart."

" The Hyuga Clan is now part of Konoha, and you're back to your old habits."

Uchiha Nan rolled his Byakugan at Tobirama Senju. Tobirama Senju, that wicked and ruthless bastard, loved to use the most malicious thoughts to fathom people's hearts. Although Uchiha Nan himself often did the same,

How can they be the same?

It's really satisfying to be a hypocrite.

"Alright, let's not think about things on the moon for now. The important thing is Black Zetsu, who's been following me all this time."

" Tobirama, I think you're the best at dealing with these kinds of rats."

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, signaling Tobirama Senju to focus on figuring out how to deal with Black Zetsu.

He is skilled in Yin-Yang Release and stealth techniques, and is also naturally cautious, having lived for over a thousand years.

The thought of scheming to capture such an enemy sent chills down Tobirama Senju. Uchiha Nan really knew how to create difficult problems for himself.

"Then I need to design a simple, quick-release, massive sealing Ninjutsu that can also counter Yin-Yang Release. Information on Yin-Yang Release is very scarce, so this is a bit difficult."

Tobirama Senju picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the paper. The release of Sealing Jutsu is complicated and intricate, and generally, special Cursed Seal are inscribed in advance to assist in the release.

In battle, to quickly unleash powerful Sealing Jutsu, a small team of several people is required, such as the Four Red Yang Formation.

"I need to study this level of Sealing Jutsu for a while first. If Mito can participate, the efficiency will be greatly improved."

Tobirama Senju was not a master of Sealing Jutsu; he had only learned "a little bit" of minor techniques from his sister-in-law, Mito Uzumaki. He was still a long way from becoming a master of Sealing Jutsu.

"Okay, I understand. If you have any questions later, I'll ask Mito Uzumaki for you. She owes me a huge favor because of Toma Senju. Even if it involves family secrets, she'll tell me as long as I promise not to reveal them."

" Toma, brother, you've truly raised a fine son."

Tobirama Senju's face darkened, and he began to curse, " Toma, you good-for-nothing!"

"Alright, alright. Even without Toma, the Uzumaki Clan's family Sealing Jutsu can be given to me by the Uzumaki Clan if I want it."

Uchiha Nan revealed a smug smile. What's a mere Sealing Jutsu? From now on, even Mito Uzumaki will have to follow the Uchiha... uh... Konoha surname.

"Snort!"

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly and remained silent, clearly indicating that the Uzumaki Clan had long been targeted by Uchiha Nan.

Even the Senju Clan wasn't spared, so how could the Uzumaki Clan possibly remain unaffected?

The next second

Tobirama Senju's gaze returned to Uchiha Nan.

"How do you know so many secrets of the Ninja world? Are they recorded on the stone tablet Uchiha Clan?"

"I don't believe that your Uchiha's family heirloom stone tablet could record so much information."

"This involves the secrets of the Hyuga Clan; they wouldn't reveal this kind of information to you."

You're definitely hiding something from me.

Uchiha Nan listened to Tobirama Senju's question, he shifted to a more comfortable position on the sofa and then spoke.

"I am the Hokage of Konoha. It's perfectly normal for me to have extraordinary information channels."

"You're talking nonsense! I'm the Second Hokage, and I've never even heard a rumor about these secrets you're talking about."

Tobirama Senju clearly wouldn't be so easily fooled by Uchiha Nan.

Uchiha Nan suddenly sat up from the sofa, his back ramrod straight, and said with a serious expression:

"Sigh. If you don't believe me, then I have no choice but to tell you the truth."

"Um?"

Tobirama Senju looked expectant.

"Actually, I am the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, your ancestor. Aren't you going to kowtow to me now?"

"Don't worry, it's still Chinese New Year, I'll give you a red envelope!"

Uchiha Nan's mocking words instantly turned Tobirama Senju's face a deep purple.

"Go to hell, you born evil brat from the Uchiha!"

"I'm talking to you so seriously, and you're still joking with me."

Tobirama Senju roared, he raised his fist, intending to punch Uchiha Nan in the face.

Uchiha Nan quickly formed the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation technique, a familiar hand seal that caused Tobirama Senju heartache.

"Oh dear, Tobirama, is the source of information really that important?"

" The Ninja world is a very complex place, and you're not at a high enough level yet. When the truth is finally revealed, all the mysteries will be uncovered. Don't be in a hurry."

Uchiha Nan maintained his riddle-solving style, occasionally revealing little secrets buried deep in his heart to the dead man, Tobirama Senju. This was good for his mental and physical health; revealing everything at once would have been too boring.

Uchiha Nan waited a few seconds before releasing his control over Tobirama Senju, Tobirama Senju then coldly stared at Uchiha Nan.

Those riddle solvers are all damn damned!

"You've completely manipulated me, and you're unwilling to reveal even a sliver of the truth to me?"

Tobirama Senju remained undeterred; the truth about the Ninja world revealed by Uchiha Nan was likely far beyond his imagination. And with Uchiha Nan, who knew the truth, right before his eyes, it was like letting an old cat sleep with a salted fish pillow—it was so itchy!

"Perhaps... I wasn't lying to you just now."

"If Madara Uchiha and Asura Hashirama Senju were reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, why can't I be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Uchiha Nan chuckled, thinking he should try to fool Tobirama Senju one more time; that conspiracy-obsessed, black-hearted bastard might actually believe it.

Tobirama Senju's expression changed, and he looked Uchiha Nan up and down, genuinely considering Uchiha Nan's identity.

Although Uchiha Nan seemed rather unserious when she spoke, the truth is often revealed unintentionally.

"You can't be telling the truth, can you?"

"Are you really the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Holy crap, did I really fool you?

Uchiha Nan tried his best to control his expression, not wanting to laugh out loud, and said with an extremely serious expression:

" Tobirama, then you'd better work hard and help me capture Black Zetsu. I'll hand it over to you for research. It's an ancient monster that's lived for over a thousand years; who knows how much information it holds."

"If you want to know the truth, you can ask it."

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it. With his Tobirama Senju would probably work extremely hard in the face of such temptation.

"Hmph, Uchiha Nan, you're such a heartless bastard."

Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan's intentions; he wanted him to be his slave. His words were a mix of truth and falsehood.

That born evil Uchiha brat is truly wicked!

"I won't disturb your work any longer. Your lab is so gloomy, with severed limbs everywhere. It's creepy just looking at it. I'm going back now."

"Don't you have nightmares when you look at these things every day?"

Uchiha Nan glanced at the experimental subjects in the jars, marveling at Tobirama Senju's incredible mental fortitude. He thought to himself that if he spent all day staring at these experimental subjects, he would definitely have nightmares.

The next moment, Uchiha Nan realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute. I almost forgot, Tobirama, you're a dead man now, you have to work 24 hours a day, you don't need to sleep."

Uchiha Nan spoke casually.

"Get out! Leave my lab immediately!"

That's really rubbing salt in the wound!

Tobirama Senju pointed at Uchiha Nan, telling him to leave his laboratory immediately.

Uchiha Nan left Tobirama Senju's laboratory with a grin.

"That heartless bastard, he can't be telling the truth, can he?"

Could he really be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?

Tobirama Senju watched Uchiha Nan's departing figure, muttering to himself.

I'll update at 6 PM from now on. I've been so busy lately—teaching, reading papers, exams, and writing. I just can't keep up with updating at noon.
