The Uchiha memorial text was not in the stone tablet's secret chamber.
It had been copied into the Moon Sacrifice Register in the clan's old ancestral shrine.
Its contents did not concern Dōjutsu, nor did they record battles.
Most clan members had only read its opening during ceremonial rites.
The names of Kaguya, Indra, and the Sage of Six Paths were mixed into a mass of symbolic terms and had long been treated as unverifiable ancient legends.
What Itachi remembered was not any particular sentence.
It was that the memorial text always placed the outcome before the cause.
The Progenitor Mother was welcomed back first.
Only afterward did her descendants complete lunar unification.
Everyone first possessed a shared wish.
Their individual consent was only appended at the end.

Fugaku did not let Itachi enter the shrine alone.
The original register was retrieved jointly by the clan custodian, the External Recorder for the Konoha Military Police Force, and the Hokage's Anbu.
All three parties first confirmed the state of its seals.
The Uchiha could not replace the original text themselves after discovering a new lead.
Nor could Konoha use the investigation into Kaguya as grounds to confiscate all of the clan's ceremonial records.
The original register was opened only inside the shrine.
