"And that person... is the one you call the Rabbit Goddess!"
"The Rabbit Goddess?!" Hashirama and Madara both exclaimed in surprise.
Madara leaned forward and shouted, "That person... is... Kaguya Ōtsutsuki?!"
"Yes." Yusuke smiled lightly, "The person in the meteorite was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who had just arrived in this world. And after she came here, she had another purpose, which was..."
He deliberately built suspense before the crowd. Once he saw that he had sufficiently stirred everyone's emotions, he continued.
"This Kaguya, known as the Rabbit Goddess — her purpose for coming to our world was to completely drain its life force. To put it simply, her goal was to plant the Divine Tree on Earth! Madara, you should be familiar with what that is, right?"
Madara's face filled with disbelief at these words.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Of course I know what the Divine Tree is. But... this should be impossible, right? This is the Rabbit Goddess we're talking about. Besides, what was her purpose in planting the Divine Tree?"
He was deeply curious. After all, based on the information left on the stone tablet of the Uchiha clan, he only understood fragments of the truth.
The Ten-Tails was actually the Divine Tree, and the other tailed beasts were all separated from the Ten-Tails. Beyond these basic facts, he knew nothing more.
He turned his gaze toward his Brother once again.
When Yusuke saw everyone's attention return to him, he smiled and said, "None of you really know the truth, do you? Well then, Madara — since you don't know, how dare you be so certain that your plan to save the ninja world through Infinite Tsukuyomi will succeed?"
"Let me be clear: that Infinite Tsukuyomi plan of yours is nothing but a complete sham! Kaguya's true purpose in coming to Earth was to plant the Ten-Tails — the Divine Tree — which would extend its roots throughout the entire world to absorb all natural energy between heaven and earth. After absorbing enough energy, it would produce a fruit. Tell me, Madara, you should be familiar with it, right?"
Yusuke fixed his gaze on the Uchiha before him.
Madara's expression grew grave.
"I know... it's... the Chakra Fruit! Everything in this ninja world — the source of all chakra — actually came from that fruit!"
The clan's stone tablet indeed contained a record of the Chakra Fruit.
"Yes, that's right." Yusuke continued, "That thing is the Chakra Fruit, the source of everything. Kaguya's purpose in coming here was for her clan, the Ōtsutsuki, to harvest these fruits. After production, our world would have all its natural energy drained by the Divine Tree, entering an extremely severe state of depletion. In just a few years, our world would become completely lifeless! And ours wouldn't be the first."
He laughed coldly.
"Though I don't know exactly how many worlds the Ōtsutsuki clan has destroyed, I know of at least a hundred that were mercilessly sentenced to death by their clan!"
Everyone around began to grow angry at this revelation.
"What?! How could the Ōtsutsuki clan do such a thing?!"
After hearing Yusuke explain Kaguya's true purpose for arriving on Earth, fury spread across every face.
It seemed unthinkable! She wanted to drain all natural energy from Earth? Their world would become nothing but a barren wasteland — a scene of utter devastation!
How could anyone accept this?!
"This makes me so angry! These despicable members of the Ōtsutsuki clan — so this was their true purpose for coming here? Damn!" Hashirama had become extremely angry after hearing these revelations.
"What is this? This is absolutely nothing." Yusuke said calmly, "For the Ōtsutsuki clan, this kind of thing is just ordinary business. Do you really think they would care about us?"
He laughed mockingly.
"Alright, let's move on. The one you think of as the Rabbit Goddess, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki — let's put it this way: she was decent enough." He took a deep breath and continued, "After arriving on Earth, she grew fond of this place and wanted to rule over it. Therefore, she made a decision that went against her ancestors: Kaguya decided to consume the Divine Tree's fruit for herself to gain power and rule this world."
"When the Ten-Tails Divine Tree had absorbed enough natural energy, it began to form the Divine Tree's fruit. The moment it was fully formed, Kaguya consumed it without hesitation. What happened next was simple." A smile appeared on his face, "After eating the Ten-Tails Divine Tree's chakra fruit, Kaguya obtained the strongest natural energy power between heaven and earth. From then on, she began her era of rule."
"In the time that followed, the entire ninja world — or rather, what couldn't yet be called the ninja world..." He furrowed his brows and continued, "was indeed ruled by Kaguya. However, this person wasn't very bright. She had no real principles or ideas, and her thinking was one-dimensional. Her method of ruling was through suppression — endless suppression. Everything had to be done according to her will, which naturally led to people's dissatisfaction."
"That's obvious!" Hashirama interjected, "How could anyone rule like that? She just didn't understand! Even with such powerful strength, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki could have properly ruled the entire world..."
After he finished speaking, Yusuke continued.
"What else would you expect from someone raised in the Ōtsutsuki clan? How could she know any sophisticated ways of governing? It's fortunate enough that she didn't destroy everyone under her rule. However, later on, certain events pushed Kaguya to take even more radical actions."
He stretched a little bit.
"By then, she had begun calling herself the Rabbit Goddess. At that time, nearly all humans — ninety-nine percent of people — truly believed in Kaguya. They saw her as the deity of this world and worshipped her as such. In the midst of all this tyranny, she met a man and fell in love. Eventually, she had two children. And one of these children was the Sage of Six Paths!"
Upon hearing this, Madara leaped to his feet and exclaimed in astonishment, "What?! One of them was the Sage of Six Paths? Then who was the other one?!"
