Chapter 449: The cause of all Uchiha problems


    “There’s no need.” Said Kuroto as his Byakugan turned into the Tenseigan.


    Looking at that royal blue Dojutsu with a white floral pattern in Kuroto’s eyes, and feeling the power emanating from them, even the always calm and collected Uchiha Itachi felt waves in his heart.


    Shisui patted his shoulder, and exined, “That’s the Tenseigan, a Dojutsu above the Byakugan, you do remember what Tsukihi-san told us, right?”


    Itachi nodded, “Yes, Tenseigan, a Dojutsu that can rival the Rinnegan.”


    In the Summit War at Amegakure, while fighting against Konan, Itachi did see quite a few abilities of Kuroto, but this is the first time he has seen the Dojutsu itself; and he could feel the power that it contains, although he doesn’t really have much of an understanding of Tenseigan given that he has only once seen Kuroto using its powers.


    And this is also reasonable, because Kuroto rarely uses his Tenseigan these days, after all, there are very few enemies who could force him to have to use the Tenseigan, besides the current Kuroto’s Byakugan is also one of the purest, so using only the Byakugan is more than enough forpleting most of the Anbu missions.


    Kuroto ignored Shisui and Itachi’s discussion and focused on deciphering the Stone Tablet in front of him, for him, who has the Tenseigan, the Stone tablet can obviously be deciphered without any issue, after all; the key point is the Visual Prowess… And in the face of the Visual Prowess of the Tenseigan, the entire Stone Tablet was deciphered quite easily.


    After reading the content of the Stone Tablet, Kuroto sighed, ‘It really is one of the two major causes of all the problems the Uchiha n experienced and is still experiencing.’


    ording to Kuroto the content of the Stone Tablet can be roughly divided into four parts. And the higher the Visual Prowess of the reader the more parts of the Stone Tablet they can decipher.


    The first part is sort of a fairy tale. It mentions the story of Otsutsuki Kaguya who ate the Fruit from the Shinju and became the first human to bear Chakra, then using that power she calmed the troubled times; unified the world, andter gave birth to a child. Although it contains a lot of information; for the most part, it is of little significance to the present and can be read by those with the Three Tomoe Sharingan.


    The second part has some more important content, it mentions the story of the son of Otsutsuki Kaguya who became the first human naturally born with Chakra, he defeated the violent Shinju turned Juubi and came to be known as Rikudo Sennin;ter he spread the creed and teachings of Ninshu; bing the forefather of all Shinobi.


    It then states some of the secrets of Mangekyou Sharingan; the method of obtaining it and how it can be used to control any of the nine Bijuu.


    It also states the regrets of Rikudo Sennin; the worries he had for the future of the Shinobi world and the Uchiha n.


    This part clearly points out that the Uchiha n are the descendants of Rikudo Sennin, and is perhaps one of the key reasons for the inborn arrogance of the Uchiha n. In addition to having the extraordinary Chakra that the Sharingan grants to the Uchiha; the words left by Rikudo Sennin on the Stone Tablet may also have a certain influence on the mindset of the Uchiha n and ingrains them to have a natural superiority whenpared to others.


    After all, when an Uchiha gets to learn that he is a descendant of Rikudo Sennin, the forefather of all Shinobi kind, he would obviously be subconsciously proud of his ancestry and his origins, thus giving birth to natural superiority and arrogance towards others of not so superior ancestry.


    Then there is the third part, and Kuroto can guess that it can’t be deciphered with the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan; the reader either needs the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan or probably the Mangekyou Sharingan with a very high Visual Prowess that can match up to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.


    The third part records very little content and can be easily summed up in a single line, <em>‘Seeking stability, one god was divided into Yin and Yang, these opposing two acting together obtain all things in creation</em>


    The meaning of this line is very simple, but it actually has two meanings, one is the true meaning and the other one is the meaning that Uchiha Madara and perhaps most Uchiha perceived, that is, only bybining the Yin of the Uchiha n and the Yang of the Senju n can the Chakra of Rikudo Sennin be obtained; which is ultimately the Rinnegan.


    Although; this is not wrong, it is not the correct meaning either.


    Originally, the intent of leaving behind the Stone tablet was to discourage the Uchiha from awakening the Rinnegan. Rikudo Sennin actually hoped that the Uchiha n will realize that only when the Uchiha and Senju unite, that is, the Uchiha’s reconciliation with the Senju n will truly save the Uchiha n and the Shinobi World.


    Madara obviously misunderstood the underlying meaning, which is why the battle of the Valley of the End took ce. Madara may have lost the battle, but hepleted his objective and gained the Yang Chakra of the Senju n; more specifically; the Yang Chakra of Asura that resided within Shodaime Hokage; therefore, he managed tobine the Yin and Yang and obtained the Rinnegan that represented the Power of All Creation.


    Then finally there is the fourth part which mentions the sealed Kaguya and the concern of Rikudo Sennin towards the other Otsutsuki n members. Obviously, Rikudo Sennin did not know much about the Otsutsuki n but he still feared the origins of his mother; the warning regarding her Infinite Tsukuyomi, and the possible reasons for using it.


    Looking at the whole content from a bystander’s point of view, Kuroto might as well regard this Stone Tablet as thest words or death wish of Rikudo Sennin to his son Otsutsuki Indra; and Indra’ster descendants. It not only tells the origin of the Uchiha n but there is also mention of Chakra Fruit, Shinju, and Juubi. Important information about Yin and Yang, the method of awakening the Rinnegan, and finally the sealed Kaguya; warning regarding Kaguya’s Infinite Tsukuyomi, the misfortune that Sharingan brings, and a few other minor details.


    Of course, this is all the content that Kuroto has deciphered after removing and re-editing all the information rted to Project Tsuki no Me.


    ck Zetsu cleverly made changes to the Stone Tablet, and what was supposed to be a warning regarding Kaguya’s Infinite Tsukuyomi, has turned into the only Jutsu that can save the Uchiha n and the Shinobi World. This part recorded <em>‘When someone who possesses the power of Samsara approaches the moon, an eye will open that is reflected on the moon to grant the eternal dream.’ </em>Which is basically the instructions to perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi and all of this was attributed to Rikudo Sennin’s method of saving the Uchiha n.


    At that time, Madara was emotionally agitated because of the death of his younger brother Izuna whom he deeply cared about, and had just awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan; so when he deciphered the Stone Tablet up to here; there were obviously waves in his heart.


    Later Madara realized that forming the vige won’t lead to true peace thus his conflicts with the Shodaime started; he tried to convince the Uchiha n to leave Konoha, but no one chose to follow him; betrayed by the shinobi of his own n whom he protected for all those years, Madara left the Vige alone, determined toplete the Project Tsuki no Me and bring true peace to the Shinobi World.


    ‘It’s a pity.’ Thought Kuroto but didn’t really care too much.


    After regaining his gaze Kuroto did not care much about the Stone Tablet, but he still had a few doubts in his heart.


    ck Zetsu neither has the Sharingan, nor the Rinnegan or any other Dojutsu of the same level, yet he can decipher the Stone Tablet and also edit the inscriptions without leaving behind any traces and this is quite puzzling.


    If not for the fact that Kuroto had known the truth beforehand, even he would have been confused and swayed into believing it to be true.


    ‘Does that mean Kaguya, the creator of ck Zetsu also gave him a port to her own powers?’ Kuroto can’t help but make such a guess. The reason for this guess is also thought about a little, because even with the Tenseigan, Kuroto knows that he can’t change anything in the Stone Tablet, but Zetsu who has no Dojutsu can do it, so it can only be attributed to Kaguya’s power in ck Zetsu.


    And it’s very likely that Kuroto’s guess is true, that is to say, Kaguya’s Chakra is indeed sealed inside ck Zetsu; although Kuroto can’t be sure how much of that Chakra is still left given that almost a millennium has passed but there has to be Kaguya’s Chakra still present inside him, otherwise how else did he manage to seed in his sneak attack on Madara?
