Chapter 117 - A Fatal Mistake

In order to prevent the Uchiha Clan from experiencing such misfortunes again, Black Zetsu stole this item from the Uchiha library a few hundred years later, when the Uchiha Clan's power was slightly weakened and kept until now.

Now, in order to gain Kuragami Uchiha's trust, he took it out.

After Kuragami had completely written down the contents of the scroll, he threw it back and said: "Are you really the ancestor of our Uchiha Clan, the will of Indra?"

"Of course." Black Zetsu nodded.

"Then why do you show up at this time?" Kuragami Uchiha asked.

"Because I am waiting for the arrival of descendants who can truly inherit my will and bring eternal peace to the Shinobi World." 

Black Zetsu said: "Young man, are you willing to listen to my story?"

Kuragami Uchiha did not speak, but his face showed an interested look. Seeing this, Black Zetsu also began his performance.

"My father, the Sage of Six Paths, founded the ninja clan and spread chakra to every corner of the Shinobi World. I, on this basis, created the prototype of today's ninjutsu."

"When my father was old, he wanted to pass on the position of the leader of the ninja clan to me, but he was moved by the unrealistic delusion of my stupid brother and passed the position of leader to my brother."

"Excuse me, your brother?" Kuragami Uchiha asked at the right time.

"Asura, the ancestor of the Senju and Uzumaki clans." Black Zetsu said.

"I see. No wonder our Uchiha Clan has been at war with the Senju clan for a thousand years." 

Kuragami Uchiha nodded: "However, the Sage of Six Paths's move was ill-considered. After all, passing on the Chakra to the young instead of the old is a recipe for disaster."

"My brother, Asura, believed that Chakra could become a bond between people, bringing peace to the Shinobi World. But he failed to consider that without the restraint of power, human greed would grow unchecked." 

"At that time, I wanted to stop him, but he was extremely powerful after receiving all the gifts from our father, and I failed."

Black Zetsu said while sighing deeply.

"My original body had a premonition that the future Shinobi World would fall into endless disputes under the unrealistic fantasy of my brother, so before I died, my original body's obsession turned into my current appearance, and I have been watching the Shinobi World in secret. Facts have proved that my original prediction was not wrong."

Kuragami Uchiha: "..."

Kuragami Uchiha was hesitant to speak. He knew the truth of everything, but then he thought that what Black Zetsu said seemed to be true! 

It's just a different perspective.

"So, what have you done in these years, ancestor?" Kuragami Uchiha showed a look of gradually beginning to believe what Black Zetsu said and even changed his way of addressing.

"Over the years, I have been waiting for the descendants who inherited my will and guiding them to work towards true peace."

Black Zetsu said.

"For example?" Kuragami Uchiha asked.

"For example, Madara Uchiha, who obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan decades ago." Black Zetsu said.

"Really? So, you have also guided Madara-sama?" Kuragami Uchiha asked with a smile.

"Of course."

Black Zetsu nodded: "Madara Uchiha is an outstanding existence in the history of the entire Uchiha Clan, and he is also the one who is closest to creating the peace I expect."

"But he made a fatal mistake."

Black Zetsu said: "He believed the words of Senju Hashirama, who inherited Asura's will, gave up his own persistence, and founded your current village."

"When he realized his mistake, it was too late, and you must know the history afterward." Black Zetsu said.

"After the death of Madara-sama and Hashirama-sama, the Shinobi World fell into war again..."

Kuragami Uchiha sighed: "So, you chose me, right?"

"Yes, your talent is even better than Madara Uchiha."

Black Zetsu said in a tempting tone: "Madara Uchiha only has power, but you are different. You not only have power but your mind and means are the reason why I chose you."

"Go, let your eyes evolve to the level of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and then come back here. This stone tablet will give you the answer." Black Zetsu said.

Kuragami Uchiha stopped to think, and after a while, he raised his head, looked at Black Zetsu, and said: "I understand."

After speaking, Kuragami Uchiha turned and left. 

After stepping out of the door, he turned back and said to Black Zetsu: "By the way, even if you are really the will of the ancestors, don't enter other people's homes casually in the future. You still have to have a sense of boundaries."

After speaking, Kuragami Uchiha left the basement without caring about the other party's reaction.

After returning home, Kuragami Uchiha wrote down the method of using Sage Techniques to upgrade the Mangekyo Sharingan in the study room.

After thinking about it, he summoned the little snake from the Ryuchi Cave and asked him to pass a message to Orochimaru.

Soon, the space-time fluctuations of the reverse Summoning Technique came from Kuragami Uchiha's side, and Kuragami Uchiha went to the Ryuchi Cave.

When Kuragami Uchiha arrived, Orochimaru was already waiting.

"Kuragami-sama, is there something you want to summon me so late?" Orochimaru asked respectfully.

"Help me verify the feasibility of this technique." Kuragami Uchiha said while handing the copied scroll to Orochimaru.

"I understand."

Orochimaru took the scroll and opened it to take a look. "Is it a way to practice the combination of Nature Energy and the power of the Sharingan?"

After reading the scroll, Orochimaru looked up at Kuragami and said: "If you want to verify this, I need the right materials."

After hearing this, Kuragami Uchiha looked at Orochimaru deeply. Seeing that the other party looked normal, he took out a sealing scroll, entered Sage Mode, and opened the Mangekyo Sharingan at the same time.

Kuragami Uchiha sealed a portion of Sharingan's power and Senjutsu Chakra in the scroll, respectively, handed it to Orochimaru, and then said: "This should be enough for you to study."

"Of course." Orochimaru nodded and said: "Thank you for your generosity, Kuragami-sama."

... ... ...

A few days later, Kuragami Uchiha went to the Konoha Military Police Force to sit for a while and then went to the Hokage building.

After the voting of the Jonin was completed, Kuragami Uchiha was now no different from the Hokage in the village, and Hiruzen Sarutobi began to hand over some things to Kuragami Uchiha.

However, on the way to the Hokage building, Kuragami Uchiha found that some villagers avoided looking at him after seeing him.

After arriving at the Hokage building and entering the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Kuragami Uchiha and greeted him first.

"Kuragami, you are here."

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand to dismiss the people around him and signaled Kuragami Uchiha to come forward.
