A Tale from Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo / The Person of All-Encompassing Creation

There was no other way; it wasn't that we wanted to save people, but they couldn't get through if the fire wasn't put out.

But the giant snakes swarmed in, showing them what physical fire extinguishing was all about.

When Uchiha Shingen first used his technique, the giant snakes didn't dare to rush in; if they did, they would turn into snakes that tasted good.

But there's no problem now.

The foreign legion's ninjas were initially taken aback, but then overjoyed, and pressed their advantage by following the path carved out by the giant snakes.

It's so satisfying to have a winning game.

The Cloud Ninja army has been routed.

The so-called Five Kage are those who can utilize this ability on the battlefield.

Uchiha Shingen sat down on the Black Snake. The battle was over. Now, the Cloud Ninja, lacking skilled fighters, could no longer stop him from passing through this ancient road and entering the heart of the Land of Lightning.

A Shadow Clone was created beside him.

After glancing at the original, the Shadow Clone vanished in an instant using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

On his way here Uchiha Shingen left behind the Flying Thunder God Seal, Shadow Clone will bring the information back as quickly as possible, allowing the Leaf Village ninja army under the South Gate City to launch an attack.

Uchiha Shingen rolled up his sleeves, revealing his Cursed Seal.

Uchiha Shingen had actually thought carefully about where to place the Cursed Seal.

At first, he subconsciously applied the Cursed Seal to his neck, but later he realized how stupid that was; using the Cursed Seal made it look like he had a stiff neck.

That's slander. He sleeps very well at night, okay?

So later he moved it to his arm, and that way, it worked much better when he used it.

At this moment, Uchiha Shingen was not trying to extract the Tailed Beast Chakra, but rather to activate the second function of the Cursed Seal.

Every channel is bidirectional.

The Cursed Seal allows Uchiha Shingen to actively draw upon the Tailed Beast Chakra; conversely, it can also allow Uchiha Shingen's Chakra to be transferred back to him, establishing a connection of consciousness.

Cursed Seal that can convey consciousness can be used like a chat group.

Essentially, his encounter with Hagoromo Otsutsuki was also a similar mechanism, both involving the connection and application of Chakra.

If you're in the middle of a battle and don't want it to affect you, you can use Chakra like you would with Shadow Clone. Once the Chakra returns, you'll know everything.

Patting the Black Snake's head to slow it down, telling it not to just think about its own pleasure and not give its kin a chance, Uchiha Shingen began an immersive connection.

It wasn't that he wasn't careful; these Cloud Ninja simply didn't have the ability to break through his defenses.

He was now very curious about what it would be like to meet Matatabi, whom he wasn't already very familiar with, and the other three Tailed Beasts again.

When he opened his eyes again, Uchiha Shingen found himself in a familiar place.

"My child, we meet again."

The familiar tone, the familiar look.

"Yes." Uchiha Shingen looked around. This time, he didn't feel restrained, and the place was completely under his control.

This time, the other party was the uninvited guest.

Chapter Twenty: The Story of Hagoromo Otsutsuki

Hagoromo Otsutsuki said that in all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever been looked at with disdain.

Although he didn't remember everything clearly because he had lived so long, he was certain that others looked at him with admiration.

Therefore, he decided to emulate the spirit of his ancestors.

"I admit I was wrong to enter your and Matatabi's consciousness without permission," Hagoromo Otsutsuki said. "However, you were also very persistent in wanting to meet me in the past, so let's call it even."

Uchiha Shingen remained noncommittal about these seemingly profound words.

The desire to see you in the past was for the purpose of reaching higher places.

But you'll know once you meet him; this guy is very stingy.

She was not the "chosen one" he recognized.

Behind Uchiha Shingen, ripples appeared on the calm water, which then became more violent, bubbling and gurgling.

The water surface swelled up as if boiling, and rose up like jelly.

Soon, the water flowing upstream took on a shape, transforming into the form of Matatabi.

"Hi!" After emerging, Matatabi greeted Uchiha Shingen as usual, then solemnly raised his paw and introduced him to Uchiha Shingen, "Shingen, this is what you humans call the Sage of Six Paths, the old man who created us."

Uchiha Shingen: "... I know."

"Matatabi," said Hagoromo Otsutsuki, "We've already met."

What's wrong with this waiter? Why is he acting so unpredictably now?

There are many things that Hagoromo Otsutsuki is not used to, and his unconventional personality is one of them.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was serious his entire life and remained so even after his death, always felt a severe disconnect from his descendants every time he met them. After his death, the world quickly became unrecognizable to him.

Earlier on, things were fine; he couldn't yet be considered a person from another era.

But as he gradually became a "myth," everyone who saw him would say, "So the myth is true after all."

The bloodlust of later generations grew ever stronger.

To his relief, the reincarnations of Asura Chakra were always relatively clean.

However, he's not here today to complain about the Tailed Beasts.

Following the usage of language in this era, he began to speak to Uchiha Shingen.

"Lord Shingen, I have been observing you."

"Both of the Chakra reincarnations you were concerned about are doing well." Uchiha Shingen smiled. "Don't worry, I will protect them well."

To be honest, he considered both Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Kaguya Otsutsuki to be dangerous individuals.

After all, they are all those amazing big shots who are convinced that they are absolutely right.

"No, Shingen- kun, you misunderstand. I observed you only because of you," said Hagoromo Otsutsuki. "Your power is already invincible in this era, like Ashura and Indra of the past, yet you still actively participate in the war, which is undoubtedly a very sad thing."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki truly believed this. He hated Ninjutsu, but he also acknowledged Ninjutsu usefulness, noting that people nowadays were far more powerful than he was back then.

If such power were used to protect the world instead of killing each other, then even though its fundamental purpose was to kill, it would still be a good choice.

"I need to tell you a secret, something that happened in my time." Hagoromo Otsutsuki decided to reveal the truth, which was originally intended only for his son, the reincarnated Chakra being.

After all, it was only after a long time that the world had completely forgotten the existence of mothers.

If possible, Hagoromo Otsutsuki hopes the world will never know about this again.

The Rabbit Goddess is also part of the mythology, but no one knows that Rabbit Goddess once hung everyone on a tree. In the mythology, the Rabbit Goddess is a benevolent goddess who blesses people.

All they know now is that the Sage of Six Paths defeated a monster called the Ten-Tails and protected the world.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki hoped to maintain this impression forever.

"A secret...?" Uchiha Shingen pondered. "Something that even you call a secret must be very important, but you wouldn't say that without a reason. Is it that the past will repeat itself?"

There was no other way; I had to act.

Disliking and hating are not the same thing.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki disliked Uchiha Shingen, but that had no effect on Uchiha Shingen.

But if he dislikes Uchiha Shingen, then it will definitely have an impact.

"You are very perceptive, that's certainly true." Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at Uchiha Shingen.

The possibility of the mother's resurrection began to increase in this era, all because Uchiha Madara forcibly took away a portion of the Rinnegan's power from him.

Thus, in name, this world gained another pair of Rinnegan.

But all of this was within his expectations; he had been mentally prepared for this from the beginning, which is why he left the stone tablet.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Madara obtained the Rinnegan in the exact opposite way he expected.

Therefore, Hagoromo Otsutsuki had been keeping an eye on Uchiha Madara.

This also includes Black Zetsu.

But he really didn't expect this...

Uchiha Madara did obtain the Rinnegan by activating his power.

But Uchiha Shingen connected with his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, whom Hamura Otsutsuki had managed to seal away with great difficulty!

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki believed that Uchiha Shingen himself was unaware of this.

Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Ten-Tails were already inseparable; obtaining the Ten-Tails 'Chakra meant obtaining Kaguya Otsutsuki's Chakra.

Just like Uchiha Madara obtained the Rinnegan by drawing upon his own power.

Uchiha Shingen obtained these eyes by drawing upon the power of his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In the confined space, two pairs of Rinnegan stared at each other.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki really wanted to ask whether the person looking at him now was Uchiha Shingen or his mother.

"Once upon a time, I had a beautiful, kind, and gentle mother; those were the happiest days of my life."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki began to speak.

Deep down, he also harbored a certain expectation.

He observed Uchiha Shingen's expression and noticed that the guy seemed to be listening with great interest.

This made Hagoromo Otsutsuki sigh a little; he hadn't spoken like that in many years.

"... In short, that's how it is. My mother, who ate the Chakra Fruit and underwent a drastic personality change, was eventually sealed away by Hamura Otsutsuki and me, and became the moon you know today."

"That sounds pretty scary." Uchiha Shingen thought that Hagoromo Otsutsuki's storytelling skills weren't that great.

Even Black Zetsu is better at talking.

While Black Zetsu's storytelling can be boring, he's good at creating climaxes.

As for Hagoromo Otsutsuki, he was incredibly dry when telling stories, but when he mentioned his mother, he still tried his best to embellish her.

Even if he sealed away his mother, he probably still felt regret in his heart because of his relationship with her.

"Yes, it's quite frightening," said Hagoromo Otsutsuki. "Shingen- kun, with your current power, even just the Sharingan, you surpass everyone else. It's best not to rely too much on the power of the Tailed Beasts."

"I will consider your advice." Uchiha Shingen smiled. "Since you observe this world, you should also know that there is another pair of Rinnegan in this world. Just because I don't use it doesn't mean he doesn't."

Are you kidding me? For him, it means not relying on the power of the Tailed Beasts.

So, if you're not chosen by destiny, you don't deserve to use it?

Uchiha Shingen grew increasingly disappointed with Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

I need to take the night off tonight, I'm getting back too late.

This week has been really tough, I'm completely out of mana. I'll rest and get back to mana today, then get up early to code tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow!

Chapter Twenty-One: The Man of All Things

Judging from Uchiha Shingen's expression, Hagoromo Otsutsuki knew that his "advice" was unlikely to be effective.

He knew, of course, that the other pair of Rinnegan was the work of the previous Indra.

Even though he has lost Indra's Chakra, this reincarnated person will not lose the Rinnegan.

However, the previous generation was an Uchiha Clan was very accustomed to war. He preserved his Rinnegan and used it as a container to store his eyes, which enabled him to grow into one of the top Ninja World.

His descendants are truly a source of trouble for him.

"Do you know the origin of those eyes?" Hagoromo Otsutsuki asked.

"I know," Uchiha Shingen said. "That's Dōjutsu equivalent to your own in mythology. Who would dare pretend they didn't see it?"
