Naruto, all the ninja women love me, and Konoha depends on me.

Chapter 111 Zetsu: If you have something to ask, just ask, don't ask if I'm here or not.

The family meeting concluded, and the moon was already high in the sky.

The Senju clan's Hot Spring Street remained brightly lit.

To maximize their earnings from the nobles,

Hot Spring Street never rested. However, for the health of the visitors, the Senju clan would try their best to persuade them to rest early.

Because of this, by evening, although Hot Spring Street was still open, the number of visitors was significantly fewer than during the day.

Senju Wakama walked out of the Clan Leader's meeting room, stealthily making his way back to his own room to rest.

However…

At the door of his room, he came face to face with his expressionless Second Brother, Tobirama.

"...Second Brother, is there something you need?"

Senju Wakama couldn't ignore his older brother, so he braced himself and responded.

He hadn't spoken during the family meeting, but now that he was seeking him out privately after the adjournment, Senju Tobirama's request was sure to be something significant.

As expected, Senju Tobirama's first words were, "Do you have any way to make Tsukuyo come home on her own?"

Senju Wakama: "..."

"Tsukuyo is too strong. She has nothing to fear."

If she wants to come home, she'll come home. If she doesn't, no one can force her...

Senju Wakama quietly said, "Second Brother, is this about dealing with the Uzumaki clan?"

"Not just that. During the time she's been away from the clan lands, all four of us brothers have already felt the pain of her absence."

Senju Tobirama said wistfully, "So much time has passed, and seeing how lenient the Uchiha clan is with her, it's clear she has succeeded. But why hasn't she returned?"

Senju Wakama remained silent.

He didn't know when his sister and Second Brother had reconciled.

Clearly, they had joined forces.

So, his sister had revealed to Second Brother Tobirama that her healing jutsu could replicate a patient's bloodline and combat techniques.

It was precisely because of this that Second Brother Tobirama had allowed Tsukuyo to go to the Uchiha clan.

Because Tsukuyo wanted the Uchiha clan's kekkei genkai — the Sharingan.

Senju Tobirama's mind was sharp; many things didn't need to be explicitly stated for him to analyze the general process and outcome,

which was not far from the truth.

Judging by the Uchiha clan's attitude toward Tsukuyo, Senju Tobirama knew that Tsukuyo must have awakened the Sharingan,

and at a considerable level too.

Otherwise, what Uchiha Tajima would have sent to the Senju clan wouldn't have been an ambiguously worded letter, but Tsukuyo's head.

But since she had already achieved her goal, why was Tsukuyo still staying with the Uchiha clan?

Senju Wakama quietly said, "...Perhaps... she has another objective she hasn't achieved yet."

Senju Tobirama agreed with this speculation, nodding, "You're right, she never does anything without a purpose. But... besides the Sharingan, what else could it be?"

Senju Wakama shook his head. "I don't know about that. I'll ask her pet mouse, Murien, to deliver a letter and inquire about the situation."

Senju Tobirama sighed. "That's the only way, then."

The two brothers parted ways at the room door.

After returning to his room.

Senju Wakama locked the door and went straight to the bathroom.

While showering, Senju Wakama used the sound of the water to mask his voice and quietly asked, "Brother Zetsu? Are you there?"

[If you have something to ask, just ask, don't ask if I'm here or not...]

Except for special circumstances, Zetsu usually attached himself to Senju Wakama.

Only by doing so could he largely avoid Tsukuyo's notice and prevent Zetsu from being discovered by her.

"Besides the kekkei genkai, what else does Tsukuyo want from the Uchiha clan?" Senju Wakama asked directly.

[Perhaps... Indra's Chakra...]

Zetsu didn't hesitate much, responding extremely quickly.

But upon hearing that term, Senju Wakama's heart churned. "What is this you're talking about?"

[It's a long story, Wakama...] Black Zetsu chuckled, whispering, "[Do you know the origin of ninjas in this world?]

Senju Wakama narrowed his eyes. "The era is too distant; what I know are all legends. You and Tsukuyo both said that legends, passed from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, mean the truth, after being transmitted by countless people, becomes wildly different from the original because of each person's unique understanding and perception of things after just five transmissions of the information."

[That's right, hmm~ Next, I'll explain some of the most primitive truths to you.]

Black Zetsu still emitted a lewd chuckle. "[Ninja's chakra comes from the Ancestor of Chakra, the Goddess Kaguya...]

Senju Wakama lowered his head.

He vaguely remembered that when he first met Black Zetsu, he had mentioned the Goddess Kaguya.

At that time, Senju Wakama wasn't very familiar with Zetsu and knew he couldn't resist, so he often wavered. Zetsu's words were too incredible, and Senju Wakama didn't fully believe them.

But now, Zetsu brought up the Goddess Kaguya again.

Zetsu said that the Goddess Kaguya's original name was Kaguya Otsutsuki, and she came from beyond the heavens; in other words, she was an "alien."

The Otsutsuki clan viewed the native inhabitants of the ninja world as mere ants.

Because this race was naturally very powerful; even without training, their strength was enough to crush most ninjas in the ninja world.

To deal with them, it's best to use pure physical strength, to defeat them with taijutsu.

And the legendary "Sage of Six Paths" was precisely Kaguya Otsutsuki's eldest son, Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

The Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother, Otsutsuki Hamura.

Putting aside the branch of Otsutsuki Hamura.

The ancestors of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were Otsutsuki Hagoromo's two sons, respectively.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo's elder son was named Indra, and he was the ancestor of the Uchiha clan;

Otsutsuki Hagoromo's younger son was named Asura, and he was the ancestor of the Senju clan.

Both clans, from ancient times until now... hmm...

"What did you say? Since the time of Indra and Asura, you've constantly been secretly sowing discord, making our two clans fight until now?"

Senju Wakama had an incredulous look on his face. "Brother Zetsu, what exactly have you been doing?!"

So, in the very beginning, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan were actually the closest blood relatives.

As a result, after generations of separation, what is their relationship now?

[Listen... it's a long story.] Zetsu said helplessly, "[In short, only by possessing Asura's Chakra can one awaken the Sage Body, and only by possessing Indra's Chakra can one awaken the Sage Eyes.]"

Senju Wakama understood. Temporarily ignoring Brother Zetsu's talk of sowing discord, he continued to ask, "So, you're saying..."

[Tsukuyo has already obtained the "Sage Body" from Hashirama.] Zetsu slyly stated, "[She wants to obtain the "Sage Eyes" from Uchiha Madara.]"

"That's truly surprising. No wonder Elder Brother and Brother Madara became friends; it seems to be the work of their past life's bond..."

Senju Wakama inhaled sharply. "I almost thought Tsukuyo had accepted her fate as a woman and was preparing to live out her days with Brother Madara... So"

Senju Wakama then changed the subject. "What exactly are you, Brother Zetsu, and Tsukuyo?"
