"You may not believe in mythology, but this is indeed true. As for the existence of Otsutsuki Kaguya, it's actually quite easy to verify!"
Hoshino turned to Pain and continued, "You should know this already! The Ten-Tails is actually Otsutsuki Kaguya, and Black Zetsu is not the embodiment of Madara Uchiha at all."
Is the Ten-Tails Otsutsuki Kaguya?
This information struck Pain like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering his long-held beliefs.
The Akatsuki's original plan was to collect the Tailed Beast, create the ultimate weapon, and use absolute deterrence to force the Shinobi World to feel pain, thereby ushering in peace.
But now, Hoshino is telling him that the Ten-Tails is not a weapon at all, but a sealed 'god'!
So, what exactly have I been searching for?
As for doubts about Hoshino... there are some, but not many!
As for someone you consider your opponent, let me reiterate... God disdains to lie!
Hoshino possesses extraordinary power and has no need to weave such a complex lie. Just as he himself, as the spokesperson for 'God,' never stooped to using lies to achieve his goals.
True power always points directly to the essence.
Hiding in another Obito, Obito's heart was also in turmoil as he slowly shifted his gaze toward Black Zetsu, who was bound by purple energy.
That distorted form, that malevolent single eye, seemed so foreign to him at that moment.
If what Hoshino said is true, then is the ' Eye of the Moon Plan ' that Black Zetsu has been instilling in him all along also just a lie?
" Hoshino, prove it to me."
Pain slowly raised his head, his tone no longer condescending as before, but carrying an almost pious inquiry.
At this moment, he was no longer the 'god' who wanted to educate the world through pain, but a seeker of truth.
"As you wish."
Hoshino slowly clasped his hands together, and the Dragon Vein energy suddenly surged, transforming into countless streams of light that swirled around everyone.
The entire Rōran Ruins began to tremble violently, and never-before-seen runes gradually appeared on the ancient stone pillars.
Since words cannot convince you, then let the memory of this land tell the truth.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery shattered like a broken mirror.
When everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves under a vast starry sky.
"This is..."
Tsunade looked around in astonishment. The desert beneath her feet was no longer a desert, but a transparent platform suspended in the boundless universe.
A deep, resonant voice echoed from all directions.
I am the Will of the Dragon Vein, witnessing the rise and fall of this world over a thousand years. Now, at the request of Hoshino, I will reveal to you the buried truth.
Ōnoki instinctively tried to Hand Seals to defend himself, but found that he couldn't mobilize his Chakra at all, Raikage A's Lightning Release Armor was also dull and lifeless.
Everyone became a bystander in this memory.
The starry sky began to distort as a massive meteorite ripped through the darkness.
The crowd saw a woman in flowing white robes, with two horns on her forehead, descend from the sky and plant God Tree.
Those thick roots greedily absorbed the earth's life force, causing the land to crack and rivers to dry up wherever they went.
The fertile plains gradually turned into desert, while the God Tree grew stronger and stronger, its canopy blocking out the sky.
"This..."
Rasa's pupils contracted sharply. He was all too familiar with this scene; the land drained by the God Tree was so similar to the ever-expanding desert of the Land of Wind.
The scene continues.
A giant Chakra Fruit grew at the top of the God Tree, pulsating like a heart and absorbing the planet's energy.
The moment Kaguya ate the fruit, Chakra swept across the continent like a tsunami, mountains evaporated in the energy storm, and the ocean boiled into mist.
Pain looked at Kaguya and saw an eye open between her eyebrows, its base crimson with nine Tomoe on it.
It's exactly the same as his Rinnegan.
It's just a different color and a different location, but it's much more powerful.
Unexpectedly, the enormous energy seemed to exceed Otsutsuki Kaguya's tolerance limit.
Finally, she knelt in agony before the God Tree, and her abdomen split open to give birth to two babies.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki were born sacred, like excess energy stripped from a divine body.
Is this the reason for the Sage of Six Paths' birth?
Tsunade covered her mouth, her face filled with shock.
The Sage of Six Paths, a legend in the Shinobi World, was actually born simply because Otsutsuki Kaguya couldn't contain the energy of the God Tree Fruit.
It is the manifestation of excess energy stripped away when the divine body is overloaded; it is a 'container' that Kaguya had to create in order to survive.
The scene shifts abruptly, revealing a desolate landscape. The God Tree hang humans upside down like ears of wheat, with countless cocoons of light cascading down, their figures being transformed into White Zetsu.
Just when humanity was on the verge of extinction.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki appeared, and the two brothers joined forces to engage in a months-long battle with Kaguya.
The continent cracked open, lava gushed out, seawater flooded the land, mountains rose and collapsed in an instant, and rubble crashed into the boiling ocean, creating giant waves that soared into the sky.
Finally, the moment when Otsutsuki Kaguya was sealed onto the moon.
The remains of the God Tree transformed into the Ten-Tails, and the Chakra it extracted split into Nine Tailed Beasts.
Just as Kaguya's pupils closed, a dark shadow emerged from the sleeve of her robe, disappeared into the ground, and vanished.
This is the history of the mythological era.
"Now you understand, right? I know you still have questions, so keep reading!" Hoshino said calmly.
The scene shifts again.
Everyone witnessed how Black Zetsu manipulated Indra and Asura into turning against each other, how he fueled the long-standing feud between the Uchiha and Senju, and how he orchestrated countless wars behind the scenes.
Later, Obito and Pain's breathing also began to become rapid.
They witnessed firsthand how Madara Uchiha was deceived by Black Zetsu. The Eye of the Moon Plan was not for world peace at all, but a conspiracy to revive Kaguya!
Raikage A's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and veins bulged on his bronze-colored faceplate.
The shadow, usually known for his toughness, fell into an eerie silence, his sharp eyes fixed on the screen as if trying to etch every detail into his mind.
"Big brother... Gyūki says all of this is true!" Killer B unusually refrained from rapping.
Of course, this refers to the Tailed Beast; almost no one knows about Black Zetsu's existence and true identity!
Tsunade's fingertips dug deeply into her palms, and blood dripped from between her fingers.
How ridiculous that the destiny of the Senju and Uchiha began with an alien god.
"Therefore, Hashirama and Madara Uchiha never knew the source of their conflict until their deaths!"
The most shocked person was Pain, whose eyes showed confusion for the first time.
As a being who proclaims himself a 'god,' he now looks up at the illusory starry sky like a lost child.
" Nagato..." Konan called out softly with concern.
Obito also appeared from the Kamui Dimension, trembling as he removed his orange Spiral Mask, revealing his half-disfigured face.
"Rin... Kakashi... Teacher..." His voice was broken, "What... what have I done?!"
