Chapter 73: Records and Thoughts.
On the other side of the dense forest, Senju Uzuki was walking slowly back to her clan's territory, her small face full of barely concealed struggle.
"That Uchiha kid is such an idiot..."
She sighed softly to herself.
In fact, she had already seen through everything—appearing alone in this sensitive area in the middle of the night, there was no other possibility but that she was an Uchiha.
But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it and chose to pretend she didn't know anything and let him go.
"Sigh... Father always wanted me to learn how to kill, but... how do I even begin?"
Amidst the turmoil in her heart, Senju Uzuki lowered her eyes to look at the road beneath her feet, a hint of reluctance flashing across her delicate features.
She was recognized as a new generation genius of the Senju clan, bearing the expectations of her clan, but she was born with a dislike for killing and could not possibly raise a knife against a complete stranger like the others in her clan.
----------
Inside the Myobokusan History Museum, wisps of smoke slowly rose from the sandalwood beams and pillars.
Fukasaku, the sage, held a brush dipped in ink and solemnly copied down the major events of the ninja world's annals, word by word.
The pen tip stopped, and clear handwriting appeared on the bamboo slip:
"In the 36th year of the Ninja Era, Senju Shuichi passed away. Because of Uchiha Izumi, Shuichi spent his later years in regret and loneliness, but he also brought a period of relative peace to the Uchiha and Senju clans. Recorded by: Fukasaku."
"In the thirty-eighth year of the Renli era, war between the two tribes reignited, and the fighting continued without end."
"In the 39th year of the Ninja Era, the Yotsuki clan and the Kaguya clan in the north began their war."
"In the 42nd year of the Ninja Era, the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan formed an alliance; in the same year, the Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka clans formed an alliance and were collectively known as the Ino-Shika-Cho Three Clans."
"In the 45th year of the Ninja Era, the Uzumaki clan and the Hozuki clan waged war over control of the island. The Hozuki clan was defeated and fled eastward with their people."
"In the 46th year of the Ninja Era, the Hozuki clan discovered a new continent."
……
(P.S.: Since the Renli calendar has now been created, I need to be more precise in the future. If readers find any mistakes in my use of the Renli calendar, please let me know.)
(For example: So-and-so, the reincarnation of Indra, should have died in the 67th year of the Ninja Era, but I wrote it incorrectly as the 66th year. If so, please @ me to correct it. After all, having written so many reincarnations of Indra and Asura, it's easy to make mistakes in remembering the years.)
"Finally finished recording..."
After finishing recording the year, the Immortal Fukasaku put down his brush, exhaled a deep breath, rubbed his slightly sore wrist, and turned to look at the Black Zetsu who was writing furiously at his desk.
"These are the major events that have occurred in the ninja world over the years. Black Zetsu, have you finished writing the mortal arc that you were in charge of?"
Black Zetsu paused, his pen still in his hand, his face filled with undisguised exhaustion and frustration. He couldn't help but complain:
"Stop rushing me!"
"I really didn't expect the 'Mortals' chapter to be so difficult to write."
"You're in charge of the Ninja World arc, which only requires you to record the conflicts and alliances among the various ninja clans. But I'm writing the Mortal World arc, which involves sorting out the changes in government in various countries, diplomacy between nations, social conflicts among the people, changes in court policies, economic development of territories, and those intricate power struggles and infighting... Do you think this is an easy task?"
Seeing Black Zetsu's appearance, Shen Zuoxian's smile deepened!
Fukasaku slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I was the one who recorded all the events in the mortal world before, how about it?"
Now that you've experienced it firsthand, don't you find the Ninja World arc easier to remember and less stressful?
"oops...."
Black Zetsu sighed helplessly, nodded with his head drooping, and said in a tone full of compromise: "Alright, Fukasaku, I admit it."
"When are we switching? Or should I take over recording everything that happens in the ninja world...?"
"Haha, let's talk about that again in a hundred years!"
The laughter of the immortal, Shen Zuo, echoed through the tranquil Xiu Shi Guan.
Accompanied by the misty clouds drifting in from the fairy mountains outside the window
The two of them quietly sealed nearly a hundred years of history between the ninja world and the mortal world within bamboo slips.
As Fukasaku was arranging bamboo slips inscribed with the annals of the ninja world, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the object in Black Zetsu's hand. He stopped what he was doing, a look of confusion on his face.
"Hey? Where's your calligraphy brush?"
"What?"
Black Zetsu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then subconsciously looked down at the pen he was holding, and suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh! You mean this?
This is a new item recently added to the Myobokusan store. It's called a pencil, and it's easier and lighter to write with than a calligraphy brush.
It's a pity that the bamboo slips we used were of such a rough texture, unsuitable for pencil writing.
Black Zetsu laughed
Upon hearing this, Fukasaku narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone carrying a hint of understanding: "I reckon it's another of Gamamaru's ingenious tricks."
Because of the many times, the immortals of Mount Myōboku do not have a strict hierarchy; they are simply of different generations and each has their own duties.
Fukasaku and Black Zetsu jointly manage the history-writing department at Mount Myōboku.
The two are the heads of this department.
Master Shima is in charge of intelligence gathering among humans and is the head of the human department.
Gamamaru is the head of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The group had a clear division of labor, and they seemed more like colleagues working together.
"Haha, you're right, but the great sage is right, technology changes lives."
Black Zetsu laughed loudly. Over the years, Gamamaru has devoted himself to research and invented many novel items, all of which have become popular throughout Mount Myōboku.
All technologies used for military purposes have been banned repeatedly.
All the technological achievements have been used to improve life on the sacred mountain, which has brought many conveniences to Myoboku Mountain.
Changsheng Peak.
Manji stood in the secluded spot behind the peak, using Sage Mode chakra at his fingertips to perform a series of preservation techniques on the corpses of Uchiha Izumi and Senju Shuichi, before properly burying them there.
After doing all this, I gently stroked my hand ten thousand times.
Two pale golden soul lights were firmly protected in the palm of his hand, which were the complete souls of Izumi and Shuichi.
"That's an interesting approach."
A hint of amusement flickered in Wanci's eyes as he pondered the sudden whims that had arisen in recent years.
When the thousand-year pact between Indra and Asura expires, he will not only awaken the sealed original souls of the two, but also release the souls of all the reincarnated beings during these thousand years.
At that time, the reincarnated souls of Indra and Asura from all generations will gather together to review this thousand-year-old obsession and battle.
Uchiha Izumi and Senju Shuichi were naturally among them.
Ten thousand times is even foreseeable.
On the day the thousand-year promise is fulfilled, when Uchiha Izumi sees Indra in person, he will surely be eager to ask why he did not leave him the method to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Thinking of this, Wan Ci smiled slightly, carefully sealing the two beams of soul light, waiting for the final chapter of the thousand-year period.
Uchiha Izumi: "Boss... the reason I was defeated in this reincarnation is because you didn't leave me the method to awaken the Eternal Eye!"
Indra: "I didn't know! How was I supposed to know about the Mangekyou Sharingan..."
Hagoromo: "Huh? Doesn't the Sharingan directly evolve into the Rinnegan? What's with all this messing around?"
