Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 524 Myths and Legends

"Among us, no one knows the Akatsuki organization better than you, having had dealings with them!"

Not only Mifune, who asked the question, but all the Kage present looked at Toshiro with a thirst for knowledge.

It was as if they were certain that Toshiro knew something they didn't.

"It seems everyone is aware of that battle!"

Faced with this question, Toshiro pondered for a moment, and after considering it, he did not evade the question.

There is a strange thing about the ninja world: on the one hand, ninjas will do their best to protect their secrets, and on the other hand, they have a very strong desire to spy.

In addition, the strict secrecy system meant that among ninjas, those in high positions knew all sorts of information, but ordinary ninjas mostly had only a superficial understanding of those secret ninjutsu, bloodstains, secret stories, and so on.

This naturally includes the battle between Toshiro and Nagato.

Although these people only dispatched spies or secret agents to investigate the traces of that battle, they still managed to deduce quite a few things from it.

Especially regarding Toshiro's strength, although I haven't witnessed it firsthand, I have a vague idea of ​​it.

"Akatsuki, the organization originated in the Land of Rain, a place rife with war..."

After giving a brief overview of the Akatsuki organization and information about its known members, Toshiro continued:

"Their goal is to collect all nine tailed beasts, which I think needs no further explanation."

"They collect the tailed beasts to create a weapon to end the war in the ninja world and maintain peace."

"Using weapons created from the nine tailed beasts to maintain peace?"

Upon hearing Toshiro's introduction, Mifune was somewhat incredulous. He exchanged glances with the four equally surprised Kage, each of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

If these words hadn't come from the Hokage, it's unlikely he was just trying to fool them; probably no one would have believed it.

"Yes!" Nodding affirmatively, Toshiro continued, "Has anyone ever considered why the Tailed Beasts are numbered one to nine, exactly nine? Where did they come from?"

"Now that the Hokage has said that, the origin of the nine tailed beasts is indeed quite strange."

Upon hearing Toshiro's question, Mei Terumi was the first to speak, blinking her bright eyes as she continued:

"From one to nine, no more and no less, it does seem a bit strange."

Not only Mei Terumi, but everyone present began to ponder.

Over a long period of time, the existence of tailed beasts has become a matter of course. These Kage aren't idle all day long, so they wouldn't bother to consider these issues.

"The Uchiha clan is very ancient, almost born along with chakra, and we have some different records about the tailed beasts."

"Before chakra was created, there were no tailed beasts in the world."

"Or rather, there are no nine tailed beasts in the world."

"Back then, there was only one demon wreaking havoc on the world. This demon was known as... the Ten-Tails!"

Upon hearing the secret revealed by Toshiro, everyone present felt completely bewildered, as if they were listening to a myth.

"Ten-Tails?"

With her small, rosy, and sexy mouth slightly open, Mei Terumi couldn't help but ask a question when she heard about the Ten-Tails.

"Yes, the Ten-Tails!"

After glancing at everyone present, Toshiro began to speak in a detailed manner.

"According to the Uchiha records, this terrifying Ten-Tails possessed earth-shattering power and could easily destroy a country."

"Later, a monk named Hagoromo sealed this terrifying monster within his own body, becoming the first Jinchūriki. He was... the Sage of Six Paths!"

"Human lifespan is limited. In order to prevent the Ten-Tails from wreaking havoc on the world after his death, the Sage of Six Paths divided the Ten-Tails sealed within him into nine parts. Thus, the Nine Tailed Beasts were born."

"Lord Hokage, if I may be so bold, what you're saying... is more like a myth than the origin of the Tailed Beasts."

The hot-tempered Raikage, upon hearing Toshiro's explanation of the origins of the Tailed Beasts, frowned and interrupted Toshiro's next words, raising his own questions.

Although what the Hokage said seemed plausible, he wasn't one to blindly follow others.

"In fact, I have also wondered if this is just the imagination of our ancestors. However, I would like to ask you all to listen to my explanation before making a judgment."

Nodding to Ai to signal him to calm down, Toshiro continued his story:

"According to the family records, there was once an ancestor from the Warring States period who was in despair and confusion because of the continuous wars in the ninja world."

"I've envisioned a technique that could bring peace to the world."

"Using the power of this possible Ten-Tails, we will cast a terrifying illusion to trap everyone and achieve our dream of world peace."

"At first, I didn't quite believe it, thinking it was just a wild fantasy of our ancestors."

"But over the years, the tailed beasts have been captured one after another, there has been in-depth investigation into the Akatsuki organization, and the golem that the Kazekage mentioned can contain the tailed beasts' chakra."

"All of this makes me feel that the Akatsuki's actions are very likely related to this ancestral idea."

In order to distance himself from the Uchiha clan and to give the Kage a heads-up, Toshiro felt it was necessary to tell them the whole story.

"..."

No one answered. The amount of information that Toshiro had just said was too much for the group to process.

"What you've said, Hokage... is truly unbelievable."

Although it was hard to believe, Onoki had to admit that what Toshiro said did have some merit...

"To be honest, I have collected some ancient books over the years, and combined with the stone tablets passed down through generations in my family, I came up with this guess."

"I believe that with the abilities of everyone here, you are certainly able to collect some related ancient legends and secrets."

Nagato and his team will begin implementing the Eye of the Moon Plan, but it will likely take some time to prepare, and they may need to choose an auspicious day.

During this time, these filmmakers can gather some relevant information.

Toshiro believed that with the ninjas' efficiency, archaeology would be no difficult task for them at all.

"In order to deal with the possible reappearance of the Ten-Tails, I think it is necessary for us to unite and form an alliance to prepare for the possible war that may break out next."

Obito is very likely to create another 100,000 White Zetsu troops to deal with the counterattack of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. To this end, Toshiro proposed to form a joint ninja army to deal with the upcoming war.

After careful consideration, the Kage present did not reject Toshiro's proposal.

Then they hurriedly returned to their respective villages.

As for the reason, it was naturally to verify whether what Toshiro said was a myth or... actually true.
