Ninja World Wild History: Uchiha Origins 2
"Holy crap, Agarwood..."
He stared at the inscription on the tombstone, then unconsciously scratched his head.
"That explains why the Uchiha Clan has almost no records about their predecessor, the Otsutsuki Clan. It turns out they experienced a massacre and a generational break..."
"Black Zetsu is actually Obito and Itachi's senior?"
Kou shook his head with a deep sense of dread and continued reading.
Based on the scattered records of the Uchiha Clan regarding this First clan leader, he was basically able to deduce what would happen next...
After eliminating all the enemies, I thought it over and over again, and finally told the surviving members of my tribe that I had told outsiders about the location of our tribe's territory.
I am prepared to Judgment by my people and am willing to atone with my death.
However, the tribespeople said nothing about it.
They didn't blame me, or even question me. They simply quietly sorted out all the remaining relics and traditions in the village, and then handed over the sacred artifact— the Great Ori Cutter —that was enshrined deep within the clan temple to me.
Under the watchful eyes of my people, the moment I received that wooden sword, I understood everything.
My life as "Otsutsuki Hitomi" has come to an end.
That fool who once naively believed in his best friend and harbored naive ideas has died along with his hometown.
Only one Avenger survived.
A vengeful figure named "Uchiha Tong," burdened by the blood debt of his clan and destined to fight for the survival of his people for the rest of his life!
After that, I led the surviving members of my clan away from our homeland, which had been reduced to scorched earth by war, and returned to the Ninja World under the name "Uchiha".
Our first battle of revenge will be to make that neighboring country pay for its blood debt!
Faced with the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, even the most powerful ninja country in the Ninja World, Rin no Naka de, is nothing more than an ant trying to stop a chariot.
Before personally beheading the daimyo of the neighboring country, I interrogated him about the identity of the man named "Agarwood".
According to him, the mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat disappeared completely from their sight after revealing information about their tribe to him.
Throughout the entire Ninja World, there is only one person who can do this.
My former best friend— Senju Zhengsen!
However, just as I was preparing to search for his whereabouts at all costs, he had already heard the news of the destruction of the Kingdom of Lin and came to me on his own initiative.
He stood atop the ruins I had burned to ashes, his eyes, which made me want to vomit, questioning me incredulously why I had done it.
He said that the daimyo of Linzhi had agreed to his advice to stop the war and focus on the people's livelihood, and the general of Linzhi who died by his sword was a friend he had recently made.
He said they were all... good people?!
When Senju Zhengsen said these words, he still had that almost foolishly innocent look in my memory.
Speaking like a friend, he questioned me about why I had committed such a cruel act.
His almost self-destructive words shattered the last shred of hope I had for him.
Faced with this traitor who abandoned his dearest friend for his own selfish reasons, I have lost all patience to argue with him.
To avenge the clansmen who perished in the flames, and for the sake of "Otsutsuki Hitomi," whose vision of peace they had shared was utterly destroyed by his betrayal.
I... must kill him here!
A fierce battle broke out between us.
To my surprise, he seemed to have had some extraordinary encounters in these few days, and his strength had improved significantly since we parted.
But even with my Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan, he was still no match for me.
However, just before I was about to burn it to ashes with the Great Ori Cutter, a red-haired woman suddenly appeared before us.
She risked serious injury to save Masamori from my sword.
Later I learned who that woman was.
She is the princess of the Land of Whirlpools, a royal family from an island kingdom in that distant sea.
He was a good friend I met in the capital of the neighboring country not long after I parted ways with Senju Zhengsen.
In the years that followed, I led my clan in searching for Senju Zhengsen's whereabouts while conquering the armed forces of various Ninja World nations one by one.
I firmly believe that the power of Chakra and the power of Ninjutsu must never again be monopolized by those scheming nobles.
Only by completely eradicating these parasites that are eroding the Ninja World world can true Ninja World be achieved.
As for the bloodshed before peace arrives... it's merely the price that must be paid on the path to that ideal world!
However, things didn't turn out as I expected.
Just as I was about to complete the dismantling of the armed forces of various countries and prepare to unify the Ninja World.
Senju Zhengsen, who had disappeared for several years, stood in front of me with his companions gathered throughout the Ninja World.
The princess of the Land of Whirlpools —the red-haired woman who once saved him from my sword and is now his wife.
A young prodigy from the Hyuga clan—a powerful individual possessing the Byakugan, Kekkei Genkai.
He was once a member of our clan's guard, a descendant of the Yotsuki Clan of the Land of Lightning —that man with bronze skin and his body wreathed in lightning.
As a servant of my clan, he should have stood on my side, but in the end he chose to follow Zheng Sen...
I led the Uchiha Clan in countless wars against them.
Even though I was able to gain the upper hand in my battles with the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, I was never able to completely eliminate them.
Meanwhile, Senju Zhengsen, that woodcutter who couldn't even withstand a single blow from me, has grown stronger day by day in our countless life-or-death battles, at a rate that even I have to admit.
In the end, even without any help, he had the strength to fight me one-on-one.
In countless battles, he roared at me on the battlefield countless times, questioning why I had become the way I am now.
But I have completely lost interest in talking to him.
Even setting aside his past betrayals, the lives of my people lost in countless wars, the blood of those who followed me, trusted me, and entrusted the fate of their entire clan to me, have made it impossible for us to ever stop fighting.
Between him and me, there is only one path: a fight to the death!
After a long period of twenty years, the final battle between him and me is about to begin.
As for how this ultimate battle, which will determine the future of the Ninja World, will end, I, who am writing these words now, have no idea.
No, perhaps I already had a premonition about the outcome of this battle before deciding to prepare this tomb and before inscribing these words.
After all, given my style of doing things, if I were to return victorious, I might very well triumphantly erase all these writings the moment I step into this tomb...
To the younger generation who has unlocked the Mangekyo of experiences, I hope you can learn some lessons from my utterly failed life.
Please protect the Uchiha Clan from outsiders; this is my only request.
(Weasel: I get it!)
In the silent tomb, Kou had already read all the words that the man, who had been manipulated by Otsutsuki and Agarwood throughout his life, had inscribed on this tombstone on the eve of the final battle.
His gaze lingered on the last line of pleading words for a long time, and he couldn't help but sigh with deep pity.
According to the history of the Ninja World, the initiator of the ninja era, "Eye of the Warring States" - Uchiha Tong, and the First clan leader of the Senju Clan, a newly established clan in the early Warring States period - "The Great Buddha of the Warring States" Senju Zhengsen.
In that final battle, later known as the "Battle of the Two Ancestors," they perished together.
And it was only after these two giants who ushered in a new era both fell that the era known as the "Warring States Period" truly began.
Without the absolute suppression of the pupil, the various forces that had been conquered by the Uchiha Clan for decades made a comeback.
Without Zheng Sen's leadership, the companions he had gathered from various clans returned to their respective territories with their own purposes and ambitions, fighting for their own place in this chaotic world in the name of an independent ninja clan.
The Warring States Period, a time of numerous tribes rising up and described in later history books as one of blood and fire, truly began its long and complex history spanning hundreds of years only after those two men fell...
