Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 239: History of the Ninja World by Akihara Kagura

The present Hokages were silent.

Akihara Kagura had already arranged Uchiha Obito's life. That this guy could attract such a subordinate like Akihara Kagura showed a lack of discernment...

"Obito..."

Minato sighed at the fate his former student was about to face, reminiscing about the past: "Obito once wanted to become Hokage..."

"..."

Tobirama unusually refrained from speaking.

"He is not suitable to be Hokage."

Akihara Kagura voiced the truth on behalf of Tobirama.

Akihara Kagura knew Uchiha Obito, his superior, better than anyone present: "A true leader doesn't just take without giving anything back to their subordinates, right?"

"So far, I have helped Obito solve many problems. He hasn't even sent a single ninjutsu scroll, let alone a birthday gift..."

To be honest,

Even Orochimaru is far more competent than Uchiha Obito!

"If the four Hokages agree to implement the plan..."

"I will have Ah Wei first convey the message to Obito, telling him that the Second Hokage has already deciphered the Edo Tensei technique, and I have lost control over the reanimated individuals."

Akihara Kagura looked at the Hokages present and added: "By the way, let Ah Wei tell Obito that the Second Hokage is the true mastermind. When I used Edo Tensei to revive him, I was already fooled."

"Ah Wei."

"According to what you said..."

"The Second Hokage Tobirama has always been wary of Uchiha Madara. Even after Madara's death in the Valley of the End, Tobirama continued to suspect him, leading to the development of the Edo Tensei technique to prevent future generations from facing an unbeatable Madara!"

"..."

Everyone looked at Tobirama.

"Fine."

Tobirama slowly nodded, admitting his identity and not denying his purpose: "Then we'll force Uchiha Obito into a corner until we compel Madara to revive, thwart his plot, and kill him completely this time!"

Tobirama never took the threat of Uchiha Madara lightly!

Although Akihara Kagura was not a good person, Uchiha Obito, who caused the Nine-Tails incident in Konoha, and Uchiha Madara, who had been scheming for decades, clearly attracted Tobirama's hatred!

"Ah Wei."

Akihara Kagura immediately looked at White Zetsu Ah Wei, his expression becoming serious: "The Second Hokage has agreed. Let's start the operation!"

"Alright!"

White Zetsu Ah Wei quickly sank into the ground.

Tobirama watched White Zetsu Ah Wei disappear and asked in a deep voice: "This creature doesn't seem to be something you cultivated, right?"

"No."

Akihara Kagura shook his head and looked at Hashirama: "It is said that Uchiha Madara cultivated them using the First Hokage's cells."

"My brother's cells, they really can be used anywhere..."

Tobirama snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Uchiha Madara's actions.

"Um, I want to visit Naka Shrine..."

Hashirama, after learning about Uchiha Madara's plot, had not expressed much. After everything ended, this First Hokage still voiced his own thoughts in a deep voice: "It is said that Madara once saw the future of the ninja world on a stele at the shrine and found a new path..."

In front of the stele at Naka Shrine...

It was the last place where Hashirama and Uchiha Madara met amicably during their lifetime.

At that time, the entire Konoha was bathed in the shade of the First Hokage, who endorsed Tobirama as the Second Hokage, making Uchiha Madara feel out of place.

In utter helplessness, Uchiha Madara eventually met Hashirama in front of the stele at Naka Shrine and asked if he would choose his friend or his brother Tobirama.

Unfortunately.

Uchiha Madara received a disappointing answer.

During that meeting, Madara claimed to have found a path on the stele and decided to leave Konoha rather than continue feeling aggrieved.

When they met again, it was during the Battle of the Valley of the End.

Hashirama wanted to revisit Naka Shrine to see if he could decipher the reasons behind Madara's conspiracy from the stele.

If Uchiha Madara walked the wrong path after his resurrection, he wanted his old friend to understand his mistake.

"The stele?"

Akihara Kagura's eyes flickered slightly.

The stele at Naka Shrine was passed down by the Uchiha clan for generations, regarded as an honor, and made of a very special material, hard to destroy.

Although Konoha divided the Uchiha territory, it did not destroy Naka Shrine because it was still some distance from the village's residential area.

Naka Shrine.

Akihara Kagura led the four Hokages to the stele at Naka Shrine. Without Sharingan, they could see nothing, not even the content on it.

Of course.

Even if someone could read it, it would be useless.

Because this stele at Naka Shrine had been altered, the content was already distorted. No one could decipher the true history it hid. No one could solve the correct question from the wrong answers.

But...

Akihara Kagura was a transmigrator.

Even with the Mangekyō Sharingan, Akihara Kagura couldn't fully decipher the stele's content for now. But that didn't matter, because Akihara Kagura knew the history of the ninja world.

This history...

Would become his greatest weapon!

"Completely unreadable..."

Hashirama gazed at the stele, feeling a bit regretful: "If we could see the content on the stele, perhaps we could analyze Madara's thoughts... Madara said only the Sharingan could read the stele's content. It seems we have no way."

"Kid, don't you have many Uchihas under your command?"

Tobirama looked at Akihara Kagura and asked.

This Second Hokage directly examined the stele, finding the content engraved with powerful means, requiring the Sharingan to read.

"Useless."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, answering on behalf of his subordinates: "It needs the Mangekyō Sharingan to read some truth and even higher-level eyes to read the full truth..."

After speaking, Akihara Kagura suddenly looked at Hashirama and Tobirama: "I remember that both Senju and Uchiha were ancient clans in the ninja world. The Uchiha clan had a stele, didn't the Senju clan have a corresponding one?"

"No."

Hashirama shook his head.

"The clan..."

Tobirama furrowed his brow, recalling his clan's origins: "The of the Forest lived in the woods during the Warring States period and never had such a stele..."

"Could it be hidden on a tree?"

Akihara Kagura proposed a reasonable suspicion.

Honestly.

Akihara Kagura should thank Hashirama.

If it wasn't for Hashirama's nostalgia for his last meeting place with Uchiha Madara, Akihara Kagura wouldn't have remembered the stele at Naka Shrine.

Because what it recorded was useless to Akihara Kagura.

But!

Now it was useful!

Seeing Hashirama and Tobirama unable to recall, Akihara Kagura planned to help these brothers understand.

Akihara Kagura's strength had grown too fast. He couldn't find a chance to align with his most desired superior, Black Zetsu, because Black Zetsu wouldn't believe Akihara Kagura truly wanted to align with it, even if it did, it wouldn't reveal the truth.

But!

This doesn't matter!

If the future superior wouldn't speak the truth, Akihara Kagura would for it!

If the future superior couldn't decide, Akihara Kagura would decide for it!

If Black Zetsu didn't believe or recruit him, he would use special means to make it choose him!

Once Uchiha Obito was besieged by the four Hokages, if Black Zetsu still didn't reveal the truth and didn't let him join Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Akihara Kagura would force Black Zetsu to rely on him!

Root Base.

Akihara Kagura had an idea and began fabricating.

Everything is relative, like the rivalry between Uchiha and Senju. Uchiha had a fake stele by Black Zetsu, so deserved a fake bark by Akihara Kagura.

Black Zetsu deceived Uchiha Madara with a fake stele; Akihara Kagura would deceive Hashirama with a fake bark.

Of course.

Faking is a skill.

If done haphazardly, it would be easily exposed.

However...

It can't be entirely true either.

Because revealing the whole truth would be easily refuted by those who knew it. Some falsehoods are needed to let those in the know refute using truth.

Akihara Kagura privately visited the stele at Naka Shrine, read part of it with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and planned to write a new truth for the Senju of the Forest in its style.

First, the source of the bark.

After some thought, Akihara Kagura explained the bark's origin, recording that the Sage of Six Paths was the ancestor of the Senju, and this bark was left to his second son Asura, recording the history of the ninja world.

This is the true fact, naturally unrefutable.

Second, the reason for the bark's existence.

Recalling the Uchiha stele's content, Akihara Kagura decided to modify it slightly, claiming the bark existed due to a tragic story in the ninja world's history.

[Over a thousand years ago.]

[The ninja world was peaceful, and humans did not have chakra.]

[A man named Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo appeared, planted a divine tree in the ninja world, and gained its blessing and power.]

[This divine tree was the source of Hagoromo's power and the ten-tailed beast, the aggregation of nine-tailed beasts. The divine tree bestowed Hagoromo with chakra, the first appearance of this energy in the ninja world.]

[Hagoromo, having acquired chakra, found he could bestow it upon others, gathered people, and created ninshū, hoping to use chakra to create a world of understanding. Thus, he was known as the Sage of Six Paths.]

[The Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo established ninshū, married, and had three children: the eldest son Indra, ancestor of the Uchiha clan, inheriting the Sage's eyes; the second son Asura, ancestor of the Senju clan, inheriting the Sage's body; and the youngest daughter Kaguya, ancestor of the Hyūga clan, inheriting nothing...]

These points were mostly true.

Akihara Kagura's thoughts slightly diverged, feeling this could be related to the Hyūga clan. They might have an artifact only the Byakugan could read in the future. For now, he needed to fabricate this story.

[Before his death, the Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, to choose a successor for ninshū, set two tests for his sons Indra and Asura to pick one to lead the ninja world...]

This segment is also true.

Akihara Kagura disliked fabricating history, thought for a long time, and added a slightly false segment.

[This act angered the youngest daughter Kaguya, who, lacking chakra, was excluded from succession. Furious, Kaguya went to the divine tree, ate its fruit, and gained its chakra!]

[Having obtained the divine tree's chakra, Kaguya transformed into the ten-tailed divine tree, casting an illusion named Infinite Tsukuyomi, binding everyone in the ninja world with the tree's vines to absorb their chakra and rule the world!]

[The Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo had to battle his daughter, eventually reclaiming the divine tree's power, splitting it into nine-tailed beasts, and sealing his daughter Kaguya on the moon.]

Akihara Kagura was satisfied with this slightly modified historical story, hoping the Black Zetsu, who altered the Uchiha stele, would understand his fake bark.

Of course.

To gain understanding, one must include others' roles.

[After sealing his daughter, the Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's will split, creating a dark part named Black /Bleam
