Chapter 179: Hagoromo Tsukuyomi: Infinite Tsukuyomi is Quite Interesting
Southern Hoka Shrine
Once a secret gathering place for the Uchiha clan, the shrine now lays abandoned and overgrown with weeds.
Hagoromo Tsukuyomi made his way past the collapsed red torii gate and into the main hall of the shrine, finding it empty.
The Uchiha ninjas who had accompanied him were busy cleaning the long-neglected Uchiha cemetery, taking the opportunity to pay their respects at their ancestors' graves.
The other party involved, Uchiha Itachi, was still on his way.
Hagoromo was in no hurry.
He entered the hall and glanced to his right.
Counting from the far right, the seventh tatami mat concealed a hidden trapdoor.
Hagoromo pushed it open, revealing a downward passage.
This underground chamber was the true secret meeting place of the Southern Shrine, housing the stone tablet inscribed by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of the Six Paths.
Hagoromo descended into the chamber and approached the stone tablet that had once stood before Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. His eyes scanned the tablet's surface.
The text on the tablet was cryptic and shrouded in mystery.
It seemed to be veiled by some unknown power, revealing its true message only to those with the Sharingan.
Hagoromo attempted to decipher it but to no avail. Instead of forcing the issue, he performed a quick hand seal.
With a bang, a puff of smoke appeared beside him, from which a clone of himself materialized.
The clone wore the blue Uchiha kimono and a white spiral mask, its eyes already activated—a pair of kaleidoscope Sharingan. The black blades within the blood-red irises spun as they focused on the stone tablet.
The Sage of the Six Paths had left this tablet to guide future reincarnations of Indra, hoping to prevent them from repeating the mistakes of the past and to instill in them the importance of love and trust.
However, after Black Zetsu discovered the tablet, he altered its contents significantly.
The version Hagoromo was now reading had been tampered with.
The depth of insight one could gain from the tablet varied depending on the strength of their Sharingan, ranging from the basic Sharingan to the Mangekyo Sharingan and even the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
With his Mangekyo Sharingan, Hagoromo could only decipher the same level of information as Uchiha Itachi.
This included the origin of the Uchiha Sharingan's power, how to unlock it, how to evolve it to the Mangekyo level, and even how to reach the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan stage.
It did not reach the level of insight that Uchiha Madara had achieved with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, to Hagoromo's surprise, he found that he could understand the tablet's full contents—the same knowledge that Uchiha Madara had once accessed.
"The Senju and Uchiha, two opposing forces, interact to encompass all things."
By 'all things', it meant everything.
'So, Madara walked down a completely different path after reading this. And now, it's trying to convince me as well? Hagoromo thought with a sneer, his expression betraying none of his inner contempt.
The reason he could understand the tablet's message was not because his Mangekyo Sharingan rivaled the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in power, but because the requirements to decipher the tablet had been lowered, just as Black Zetsu had altered its contents long ago.
'So, Black Zetsu has included me as a potential candidate for the Moon Eye Plan? Is it because he witnessed my battle with Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito's subsequent arrival? Has my performance caught his interest?'
In all honesty, with Hagoromo's current strength, if he were to take over the Moon Eye Plan, his chances of success would indeed be higher than Uchiha Obito's at present.
'Hei Jue seems to have guessed that I would come here. I just don't know if he's here right now.'
Yuyi Xuan Yue glanced around inconspicuously and, upon discovering nothing, continued to decipher the rest of the stone monument, which was also the final step in his scheme.
Infinite Tsukuyomi!
On the stone monument, altered by Black Zetsu, was a detailed account of the steps to perform Infinite Tsukuyomi. For instance, gathering the nine tailed beasts, becoming the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, and casting Infinite Tsukuyomi towards the moon.
After its completion, everyone in the world would fall into a dream, forever dreaming that they were the protagonist, living happily ever after.
There would be no more wars, slaughter, pain, or despair in the ninja world.
True peace would arrive!
'This is how Madara was fooled,' Yuyi thought with a smirk.
However, on the surface, he still looked intrigued, his tone filled with surprise and excitement as he said,
"Interesting."
With his Blood Lineage Net cultivation at a standstill, Yuyi Xuan Yue racked his brains and realized there was only one solution—the amount of chakra.
Although the planet beneath his feet was vast, the amount of chakra it could sustain was limited.
It was only after Kaguya Otsutsuki completely absorbed the power of the Divine Tree that she could rise to prominence and achieve the Blood Lineage Net.
Inheriting Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra, sealing his mother, and separating the Divine Tree, Hagoromo Otsutsuki became the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and achieved the Blood Lineage Net.
To be precise, Hagoromo Otsutsuki had stripped Kaguya Otsutsuki of her power and supplemented it with his own to complete the Blood Lineage Net, truly reaching the pinnacle of the Sage of the Six Paths' power.
This goes to show that the total amount of chakra on this planet could, at most, satisfy the needs of one or two Blood Lineage Net users.
No matter how hard Yuyi Xuan Yue tried to find other ways to increase his chakra, it would be futile.
It would be better to go all out and capture the nine tailed beasts, which accounted for the largest proportion of chakra on this planet, and form the Ten-Tails.
Of course, he had no interest in truly becoming the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and releasing Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's goal was clear.
Collect enough chakra to support his advancement to the Blood Lineage Net! He needed the chakra of the Ten-Tails and even that of the entire ninja world under Infinite Tsukuyomi.
For this reason, Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't mind putting on an act at the moment.
After all, he didn't have the key elements like the Rinnegan or the Outer Path's Demonic Statue.
If he wanted to pluck the peach, he had to give a good impression.
At this moment, having deciphered the entire stone monument, Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't leave immediately. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the section about "Infinite Tsukuyomi" for a long time without moving.
"If everyone in the world falls into a dream, and I alone remain awake, the ninja world will be peaceful, and no one will disturb my cultivation. To be honest, it's a pretty good choice."
After a while, Yuyi Xuan Yue finally spoke, his words a mix of truth and falsehood.
It was at this moment that a pitch-black figure slowly rose from a dark corner of the underground room.
As a product of the Six Paths, it was difficult for anyone who was not a Six Paths-level existence to detect Black Zetsu if he wanted to hide after separating from White Zetsu.
Noticing Yuyi Xuan Yue's prolonged stance in front of the stone monument, Black Zetsu hooked his lips.
Another prey had taken the bait.
