Chapter 21 - ch-21

In PATREON 20 adavance chapter

Night had fallen.

Uchiha Nan returned to his residence and lay down on the soft mattress, feeling physically and mentally rejuvenated.

"Manji, that's the spot!"

"Harder!"

"Don't hold back!"

Manji was giving Uchiha Nan a vigorous massage, expertly finding and pressing acupuncture points. His technique was impressive, making him an excellent masseur.

The soft pads of Manji's paws kneaded Nan's body, relieving his tight muscles, providing the ultimate relaxation.

The cost was quite reasonable—just a bottle of catnip!

In a haze of relaxation, Uchiha Nan reflected on the day's events.

After Uchiha Nan took over the magatama and became the clan leader, the Uchiha clan elders couldn't wait to hold a grand inauguration ceremony for him, fearing he might suddenly regret not wanting to be the clan leader.

The location was naturally Nanga Shrine, but the small room inside was packed. Eventually, there was no space left, forcing some people to stand outside to pay their respects.

Though the takeover ceremony was a bit cumbersome, it was not a concern—it was all part of the process.

What intrigued Uchiha Nan was the stone tablet.

The stone tablet that had misled Madara Uchiha.

Though Nan already knew the truth—that the Eye of the Moon plan was a scheme to resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki using Madara's body—he was curious to see how Black Zetsu had woven the tale.

"A beautiful goddess was born on this continent, the goddess of Mao."

"Before her arrival, the continent was engulfed in war, with countless deaths occurring daily."

"The kind goddess couldn't bear the people's suffering, so she used her wisdom and power to create a great nation."

"Peace endured, and the goddess bore two sons, Hagoromo and Hamura. I, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was her son, known as the Sage of Six Paths."

"But the peace was short-lived. The perfect nation my mother created could not ensure eternal peace. War erupted again."

"Mother intervened with her unparalleled power to end the war and punish the culprits."

"The continent enjoyed peace once more, but the cycle of conflict persisted."

"So Mother contemplated how to achieve true peace, conceiving an unprecedented ninjutsu. Unfortunately, she vanished before realizing her vision."

"I inherited my mother's will, hoping to bring eternal peace, but I rejected her methods, deeming them too extreme."

"I traveled the continent, eradicating evil and pondering peace."

"Through practice, I discovered my mother's power could be condensed into chakra seeds, fostering spiritual resonance and understanding among people."

"I believed tolerance and love could lead to understanding and peace."

"But I was wrong, completely wrong."

"Those with chakra gained powers and created ninjutsu, leading to wars on a larger scale."

"After much suffering, I turned to my mother's path, creating a jutsu for world peace."

"But my time was short; I lacked the ability to activate it."

"My hope rests with future generations."

"The conditions to activate the jutsu are..."

Here, the writing blurred, requiring the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to decipher.

To be fair, Black Zetsu's story was well-written.

After experiencing the horrors of war, Madara and Hashirama achieved brief peace, but the ninja world remained fraught with tension.

Madara knew that after their deaths, war would resume. Hashirama's unification of ninja clans into villages would lead to even more devastating conflicts.

Madara's mental journey mirrored that of the goddess and the Sage of Six Paths.

Hashirama's approach failed; Madara left Konoha, continuing the Sage's path.

Poor, poor Madara!

What was Madara doing now?

Likely lurking underground, striving to awaken the Rinnegan.

Nan spared a moment's silence for Madara. Black Zetsu's manipulation played on Uchiha's vulnerabilities.

Any Uchiha with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan had endured darkness and lost faith in the world.

The Eye of the Moon plan was a beacon for Madara, luring him into a trap.

But none of this could deceive Nan!

Feeling a bit smug, Nan fantasized about one day drawing a golden chakra fruit, imagining telling Black Zetsu, "I'm your daddy now."

Thinking of Kaguya Otsutsuki's icy demeanor, fair skin, and horns, Nan's mind wandered to less appropriate thoughts.

Tsk, tsk.

Numb from Manji's massage, Nan drifted into child-inappropriate daydreams and fell asleep contentedly.

While Nan slept soundly, across Konoha, the Hyuga family head's room remained lit.

Hyuga Takuma was restless and couldn't sleep.

He was truly anxious!

The confirmation of Hokage Senju Tobirama's death was troubling. As soon as the group, including Neko, Mito Kado, Akimichi Torifu, and Shimura Danzo, returned, they were surrounded and interrogated, with the family gathering all available information.

Takuma easily collected this intelligence, but as one problem resolved, another arose.

Quietly, the Uchiha clan's leadership changed. The new leader, Uchiha Nan, had awakened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan, resurrecting Madara Uchiha's power in Konoha!

Takuma felt Konoha was a powder keg, ready to explode and endanger the Hyuga clan.

Yet crisis could also bring opportunity. Takuma didn't want to sit idly by and face destruction.

"How is Lady Mito doing?"

"The last time I visited, she mentioned feeling unwell. Any news?"

Takuma asked, and Hyuga Kunihiko, standing by, replied respectfully:

"None, clan leader."

"Lady Mito remains indoors, and no news has emerged from the Senju family."

Takuma sighed. He had hoped to meet Uzumaki Mito to discuss Konoha's future and the next Hokage, but Mito offered no opportunity.

Even with the Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan, there was no response, leaving the situation uncertain.

Takuma's face was conflicted, but he finally made up his mind:

"Prepare for tomorrow."

"I want to meet the new Uchiha clan leader—discreetly."

"Yes."
