Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Six Paths Sage...is the common ancestor of the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan?"

Compared to Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, two names that have hardly been spread in history, Orochimaru felt that the fact that the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan were one family thousands of years ago was more shocking. He frowned. He frowned, looked into Kaguya Rei's eyes seriously, and asked in a deep voice:

"How much evidence is there to support this news?"

"There are very few, even in the historical records of the Kaguya clan, there are only a few words mentioning that the Senju and Uchiha should not have the relationship they have now. If you want to find more abundant information, you probably have to go to the Hyuga clan. I looked around there, after all, the Hyuga clan must be more keen on recording history in words than the Kaguya clan..."

Kaguya Rei shrugged and gave an answer that made Orochimaru raise his eyebrows. However, he quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice:

"I will find a way to verify this kind of thing later... However, since Rei-kun mentioned the Six Paths Sage, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, the kinship between the Hyuga clan, the Kaguya clan and the Otsutsuki Hamura , should be almost the same as the group above?"

"Indeed," Kaguya Rei nodded and continued to explain to Orochimaru: "I haven't found the reason why the Senju and the Uchiha clan initially parted ways, but I have found some interesting records about Otsutsuki Hamura... "

"The records say that Hamura is the common ancestor of the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan. He defeated a terrible monster with the Six Paths Sage. He is the most powerful inheritor of the Byakugan, but in order to complete a certain task that no one knows the specific details of. In order to fulfill the promise of content, he divided his descendants into two. One part stayed on the earth and became the later Hyuga clan and Kaguya clan, while the other part went to the moon with him and settled on it. Come down."

"Moon!? Are you sure, Rei-kun?" Hearing this, Orochimaru, who was originally frowning because of the many ancient secrets revealed by Kaguya Rei, suddenly widened his eyes and showed an interesting expression, " That Otsutsuki Hamura...really went to live on the moon?"

"There is only one ancient book that records this incident, and the explanation is also secretive and vague... However," Kaguya Rei paused for a moment, squinted at Orochimaru and chuckled: "This is not the case. It doesn’t prevent us from having a huge enough interest in this matter, doesn’t it, Orochimaru?”

"It's impossible to say he's not interested..." Orochimaru took a deep breath, and his gloomy and deep face revealed a curiosity that could be described as clear and pure.

"Who has never looked up at the stars? Who has never wanted to know what the sea of ​​stars shining in the dark looks like? What if someone really mastered all the ninjutsu in the world and understood the mystery of life and death? , then the boundless starry sky above his head is probably the only thing that can make him curious again."

After revealing his thoughts a little, Orochimaru exhaled, looked at Rei Kaguya, who showed a clear look at his words, and asked directly:

"So, Rei-kun, do you want to obtain the qualifications to search for traces of your ancestor named Hamura Otsutsuki by obtaining the Byakugan that perfectly matches you?"

"If those who follow me could stand on the moon and overlook this land, they would probably understand why I want to unify the ninja world as soon as possible." Kaguya Rei did not answer Orochimaru's question directly, but He retold another reason:

"Right now, they don't understand many of the ideas I plan to implement. They are willing to obey my orders just because they respect or fear my power... But this is not enough, far from enough."

"What I want is a world that can stumble forward even after I leave, rather than a world that will immediately fall back into conspiracy, calculation, dispute, fighting, and war as long as it lacks my deterrence. A world that goes into a boring cycle.”

"Your ambition is really astonishing, Lord Lian... You want to permanently imprint your thoughts into the spirit of this world, so that people in future generations can inherit your ideals and move forward? This is not a simple matter. What can be accomplished by unifying the ninja world..."

Listening to Orochimaru's evaluation of herself, Kaguya smiled pitifully and responded with an indifferent expression:

"Your dream of mastering all the ninjutsu in the world and understanding the secrets of life and death is not small, Orochimaru."

"Each other."

Orochimaru put away the test tube containing Kaguya Rei's blood, resumed his usual cold expression, and said in a deep voice:

"I will analyze the genes of the Hyuga clan and use your cells to grow your Byakugan. I will complete it as soon as possible...but if I am the only one responsible for the research, the progress of the research will not be much faster. Yes, I need qualified and talented assistants to cooperate with me in my research."

"Simple, I can transfer Anko Mitarashi from the Seal Development Department. During this period, she has the shaping seal I just developed, and she stays in the office of the Seal Development Department all day eating and drinking. It’s time to find something for her to do and consume the nutrients she has accumulated in her chest.”

Hearing Kaguya Rei mention Mitarashi Anko's name, Orochimaru couldn't help but licked his lips and said with a sneer: "Ah, Anko? It seems like she is living well with Rei-kun, I don't know. She still retains some of the seriousness and rigor she had when she was my disciple..."

"If you ask her to fight and kill, she probably won't be able to do it anymore, but if you ask her to do research, she will be a relatively easy-to-use tool," Kaguya Rei shrugged, gloating a little. Said: "And considering that there are so many curse seals on her body with different uses, it shouldn't matter much if she has to work more than sixteen hours a day..."

Orochimaru's eyes twitched, apparently thinking of his unbearable work intensity in the past two years. Fortunately, he had a strong mentality and quickly adjusted his expression, licking his lips and continued:

"If Hongdou is not too wasted by your side, you can be considered a good assistant candidate... But I also want an assistant with more plasticity. I wonder if Lianjun has a suitable candidate?"

"You want Kabuto Yakushi, right?"

Kaguya Rei said the name in an understatement that made Orochimaru's eyes freeze.

"...Why do you know?" Orochimaru tensed his body, making meaningless precautions, and asked in a cold voice.

"Then why do you think that a kid who is only five or six years old and has not received enough training as a spy can still play the role of a spy flawlessly and without revealing any flaws even when he has been cut off from his superiors for a long time? Where’s the character, Orochimaru?”

Kaguya Rei put away her smile, looked at the nervous Orochimaru with a meaningful expression, and said slowly:

"Stop facing this era with the way of thinking you learned from that trash Danzo, Orochimaru... if you don't want to become like him and be swept into the garbage dump of history."

There will be another update later...
