Resolution

As they reached the Senju main house, they saw Mito sitting in the drawing room working on some fuinjutsu. Ever since he had shared some of the Uzumaki Clan secret jutsu scrolls to her, she spent most of her time researching them and teaching him, Kushina and Tsunade. In a month they have already reached intermediate level thanks to the liberal use of shadow clones. This jutsu was made for easier training.

Mito was brought back from her research when she heard them entering the house.

"Welcome home you two. How was the first day of academy? It seems you have made some friends today. Care to introduce them?" Mito said in a cheerful voice. She was happy they had brought some friends. She was worried they would not make an friends from their age group.

"It was fine grandma. Oh yeah we have brought our new friends Kana Hyuga and Mikoto Uchiha to discuss something. Hope you don't mind." Kushina replied.

"Good Evening Lady Mito" Mikoto and Kana greeted her. They had heard about her from their respective clans. They knew she was a powerful kunoichi who could stand shoulder to shoulder with First Hokage Hashirama Senju. She was the role model of many girls who wanted to be as powerful as her. So meeting her face to face had made them very excited.

"Nice to meet you. I hope you can be friends with Kushina and Arashi. Oh I don't mind. I am happy that you have made some friends." Mito said.

"Thank you grandma. We will be using my room." said Arashi.

Soon all of them were sitting in Arashi's room. He activated the silencing seals he had drawn before.

"So, what do you want to tell us that you have to activate the silencing seal?" asked Kushina with a raised eyebrow. She crossed her arm across her chest and looked directly in to his eyes. She wanted him to give her a satisfactory answer about his behavior before.

Kana and Mikoto also waited for him to answer before they would say anything. They wanted to hear his reasons.

Arashi used his sensing ability 'Mind's Eye of Kaguya' to search for anyone listening to their conversation. Especially Black Zetsu. He didn't want to give any information to it which it could exploit later. He had decided to tell them the truth. He wanted to wait for Tsunade and explain them together. But he felt that he would explain grandma Mito and Tsunade later. They were his closest people. he wanted to explain them carefully without hiding them too much. After all he needed guidance of Mito in many matters.

Making up his mind he started "What do you know about the history of chakra?"

All three of them startled at his question. Being from prestigious clan, they were introduced to chakra when they were only three year old. But they were explained that it was an energy present in all lifeforms. Though shinobi could use them to do various jutsu, the amount of chakra present in them varies from one person to another. Also they knew it was the combination of spiritual and physical energy. But how chakra came to be or who started it, they didn't know. The only legend they knew was that Sage of Six Path was the one who started it. Anything more than that is unknown. Even many people believed the legend to be just fantasies.

"I think nobody knows the true history of chakra. What this has to do with your explanation." said Kushina. She didn't know what the history behind chakra had to do with their conversation.

"Kushina, Kana and Mikoto what I am about to tell you is all real. It will shake all your belief and I want you to make a promise upon your blood to not disclose this to anyone. I am using a sealing tag seal whatever you hear today to be inaccessible to anyone without my permission. This way nobody can use any jutsu to read your minds. Believe me when I say it is necessary. If such information is found by some people they will do everything in their power to use it to gain unimaginable amount of power." said Arashi seriously.

Kana, Mikoto and Kushina were taken aback. Going as far as making a blood promise and using seals to seal their memory was extreme methods for them. But their curiosity got better of them. If they were older, perhaps they would have rejected it. But as children they agreed to his request.

"OK Arashi you will get our vows but if your explanation is not satisfactory, you will pay." threatened Mikoto. Kana also nodded to her. Kushina was not thinking about anything but the seals that Arashi mentioned. She wanted to learn them. As for the promise, she didn't mind.

Soon the three of them pricked their thumbs and dropped their blood on the tag and made their vows. They did leave some loopholes to exploit in their vows if Arashi did something against them. Arashi also joined them to prove his sincerity. After finishing all the necessary steps, Arashi breath a sigh of relief and started his explanation.

"What I am about to tell you was shown to me by a being called Mekionar. He met me in my dream and showed me the true history and future of our shinobi world. He also gave me two gifts to help me change the future. As for the reason, it was for his amusement. Though I can guess beings of their level will found our world amusing."

"He showed me how I was going to be killed and Kushina would have brought to Konoha. But this has already been changed."

Hearing his words, everyone gasped. Especially Kushina. She didn't want him to be killed. She hugged him tightly and asked "Do you know who will have done this?" Anger was radiating from her face. Arashi knew she would tear them apart if she got her hands on them.

"Its Ok Kushina. I will deal with them later. Now is not the time. Listen to me first." Soon Kushina buried her anger and calmed down. Arashi continued

"From the memories I got from Mekionar, I learned that chakra was not native to humans as we thought. It was spread by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths. He was the son of Kaguya Otsutsuki along with his twin brother Hamura Otsutsuki. Kaguya was from a clan spread across different worlds, the Otsutsuki clan."

"This clan used something called God Tree. God Tree would nourish the land and helped it thrive, while in truth, the God Tree would slowly killing the land and its people, by draining natural energy from them. It was believed that anyone who approached the tree was consumed by a demon spirit and died like a withered branch."

"Every thousand years, a God Tree produces a "chakra fruit" , which human legend holds are never to be touched. Members of the Otsutsuki clan travel through dimensions in search of God Trees so that they can harvest these fruits and gain their powerful chakra for themselves, producing medicine that grants them their godlike power along with extended youth and longevity."

"Kaguya, after consuming the fruit of Earth's God Tree, chose to settle on the planet and use the power she gained in order to single-handedly rule over the human populations. As a measure to keep the peace, Kaguya enslaved parts of the human population with the Infinite Tsukuyomi and bound those affected to the God Tree, assimilating them with its life force and gradually turning them into White Zetsu by draining them of everything that gave them their individuality, even their physical appearance. When Kaguya's sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, were born with chakra of their own, she merged with the Earth's God Tree in order to take the chakra back, thus becoming a monster called the Ten-Tails. If all of the chakra in the world is united with the God Tree once more, it would be able to bear a new chakra fruit."

"The reason Kaguya wanted to take back the chakra was because she had betrayed the Otsutsuki clan and injured her partner Isshiki Otsutsuki. She knew they will be coming to take back the fruit. She wanted to fight against them but compared to them she was weak. And I have some doubts, Hagoromo and Hamura were her true sons or not. She might have used human infant and gave them her chakra and bloodline to create soldiers to fight against them.

But in the end the three of them fought a cataclysmic battle that ravaged the continent. Hagoromo had learned Sage Mode from the toads of Mount Myoboku. But despite that the battle continued for months. At last the two brothers sealed Kaguya using Six Paths Planetary Devastation, a technique that created the moon.

After the battle, Hagoromo became the first jinchuriki of ten tails and divided its chakra in to nine tailed beasts. Those are the tailed beasts of today. His brother went ahead and lived in moon and he roamed around the continent and spread chakra to humans in hope of helping them to understand each other and erase struggle. Later he had two sons, Indra and Asura Otsutsuki.

Indra gained his father's spiritual prowess and Ashura gained his physical prowess. The older son, Indra, was acknowledged by Hagoromo as a true prodigy, quickly began to revel in his natural prowess and became very solitary, unaware that much of this came from the subtle manipulations of Black Zetsu. The younger son, Asura, proved to be the exact opposite, having shown no special abilities or natural talent, but he pushed on through his limitations, growing stronger and more mature because of his struggles and making friends with others along the way. Finally deciding the time had come to chose a successor to Ninshu, Hagoromo sent each on his sons on a different mission of restoration for a struggling land that was ravaged by the battle against Kaguya to test their capacities. A year went by since the missions were given, Indra quickly returning after completing his while Asura took much longer. Deciding to wait for his younger son's return before making his decision, he was told the nature of how Indra completed his mission by Gamamaru. Eventually, Asura completed his mission, but also returned with many people from the village, who were inspired by Asura and even learned Ninshu from him, having helped him complete his mission.

With Asura and Indra present, Hagoromo decided to choose his successor in Ninshu. Much to everyone's surprise, Hagoromo chose Asura. This greatly angered and confused Indra, who thought he was worthy of becoming the successor, and he stormed out into the wilderness. Later on, Hagoromo explained to Asura why he chose him as his successor and asked Asura to take care of the world with Indra, and Hagoromo gave Asura his power. Subsequently, Indra in a fit of rage attacked Hagoromo, Asura and the rest of the villagers with his Susanoo and newly acquired Mangekyo Sharingan, with his explanation as to how he obtained the dojutsu drawing Hagoromo's disgust. Hagoromo and the rest of the villagers transferred their chakra to Asura to help him take on Indra, forcing the elder brother to flee.

As Hagoromo was nearing death and laying on his deathbed, Indra appeared to his father after years of disappearance and explained his ambition to take down Ninshu. Hagoromo later relays this information to Asura and his family, entrusting his younger son with his final wish before dying.

Later Asura's descendant's became the Senju and Uzumaki while Indra's descendant's became Uchiha. Hamura's descendant became the Hyuga and Otsutsuki clan of the moon. The Kaguya clan are descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Arashi stopped to give them some time to digest all the information. Kana, Mikoto and Kushina were deep in thought processing all the information. After 10 minutes of silence Kana opened her mouth and said

"So we all are descendant of the same ancestor. And the rivalry between the Senju and Uchiha was due to the Sage choosing his younger son instead of older son. And who is this Black Zetsu you said who manipulated the older son Indra?"

"Black Zetsu was the physical manifestation of Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki's will. It secretly instigated many of the events that shaped the shinobi world to secure Kaguya's revival. It was created by Kaguya Otsutsuki shortly before she was sealed as the Ten-Tails.

It decided that Indra's descendants, the Uchiha, would be the main cast of the shinobi history it was creating and also modified Hagoromo's tablet to claim that among other things; the Infinite Tsukuyomi would be the Uchiha's salvation. Over the centuries, it manipulated the two brothers' reincarnations in an attempt to get one to awaken the Rinnegan, and also recorded many events for Kaguya, including Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's last fight at the Valley of the End. Sometime between Madara's death in his battle with Hashirama and the time delayed Izanagi Madara used to resurrect himself, Black Zetsu found out where Madara's body was hidden and hid itself inside Madara's body."

"What! You are saying that Madara Uchiha is alive! The same Madara Uchiha who fought against the First Hokage at the Valley of the End and died is alive." exclaimed Mikoto loudly. Kana and Mikoto were also very surprised.

"Yes the same person is alive." confirmed Arashi.

"How do you even know this?" asked Kushina doubtfully. She truly didn't want to believe that Madara Uchiha is alive.

"Well along with the past memories, I was also shown the future events. I can't tell you much but know this, Madara used the cells of First Hokage and managed to gain his Wood Style. Later he also managed to awaken the legendary dojutsu Rinnegan before his death. In the future he is going to be resurrected by his accomplish and use the body of Ten Tails to gather the tailed beasts and become its jinchuriki. He will gain the power of Sage of Six Paths and will lunch the Infinite Tsukuyomi jutsu which will unseal Kaguya. Though he is being manipulated by Black Zetsu for unsealing Kaguya."

"So Rinnegan is also real! I thought it was just some wild legend." said Mikoto. "And you are saying that it is possible to awaken it like Madara had done. Is this your plan or their is more?"

"Well this is just half of the plan. Rinnegan is not the final evolution. Above it is the Rinne Sharingan. Kaguya awakened it after eating the Chakra Fruit. My plan is awakening the Rinne Sharingan or something more powerful. Till now I have only revealed the evolution of Sharingan. The evolution of Byakugan is also like that. Hamura had awakened Tenseigan. In the future one of his descendant Toneri Otsutsuki used Hyuga clan's Byakugan and transplanted them to gain Tenseigan. And let me say this Tenseigan is not weaker than Rinnegan. In the memories I have seen Toneri cutting the moon in half by using Tenseigan." explained Arashi.

"Are you saying that Byakugan can also evolve like Sharingan? I thought our clan's dojutsu was weaker compared to Sharingan." said Kana. She was excited to hear the possible evolution of Byakugan. If she managed to awaken it, she will be able to overcome her tragic fate. Mikoto was also surprised by this revelations.

"Don't think Byakugan is weaker. In my opinion it is actually stronger than Sharingan. You guys don't need any emotional outbreak to awaken it. Also all your clan's members have Byakugan. Compared to this Uchiha clan's Sharingan is weaker. Also your clan's policies made your Byakugan some what under developed.

Just think about it. You have eyes that can see almost 360 degree and see through obstructions. Also your eye sight range is increased as you trained more. You have the most exceptional chakra control ability. If you use your chakra for ninjutsu and medical jutsu, you would have excellent control. Even creating something like Susanoo of Uchiha clan is possible if you have huge amount of chakra and excellent chakra control.

Madara and Hashirama had enormous chakra reserves rivaling even nine tails due to them being reincarnation of Indra and Asura. If a Hyuga has their chakra reserve and managed to create a jutsu like Susanoo and Wood Golem, they will be unrivalled. In my opinion they might be stronger than them." said Arashi.

Kana was feeling very happy after hearing Arashi's explanation. Yes their clan had been some what focused only in taijutsu. If she managed to achieve what just Arashi had said to her, she could be freed from the curse seal.

As if reading her thoughts, Arashi said "Don't worry about the curse seal. I will look in to it using my clan's scroll. If not we can work together to decipher it and break the seal."

Arashi's words brought a smile in her face. 'Yes why should I let myself be chained by limitations. I will be the first Hyuga to break the tradition.' she thought.

"Ok now that we know you planned to awaken Rinne Sharingan, how are you going to do it? From your description you needed sharingan and Senju clan bloodline along with Hyuga clan and Kaguya clan' bloodline ability. Let's not say anything about Otsutsuki clan of the moon." asked Kushina.

Both Kana and Mikoto awoke from their day dreams and paid close attention to his answer. This would be the key to all their future paths. Whether they choose to follow him in this path or not.

"OK. This part is where medical ninjutsu and fuinjutsu will help us. Also I have said before that Mekionar had given me two gifts, one is increasing my soul level to the limit of mortal and second one is making my body attuned to nature energy to divine level."

Now everyone was truly shocked hearing his gifts.

"You mean to say you spiritual power rivalling that of Sage of Six Paths if that is what mortal level is and I don't think I get what is so important about nature energy." asked Mikoto.

"Well nature energy is the energy present in nature. It is everywhere. Sages use them by mixing it with spiritual and physical energy in proper ratio to create Senjutsu chakra. This chakra is much more powerful than normal chakra. You will gain power that is at least double than that of normal chakra. Your physical strength and sensing abilities will increase tremendously. But the drawback is that if you don't use in proper ratio, you will turn in to stone. Also sensing nature energy and drawing it inside the body is very time taking task. You can learn this from summoning animals only. I think this is the reason why summoning animals live longer than us humans. Just look at the toad sage Gamamaru, he had taught Hagoromo sage mode and is still alive to this age. Just think about the possibilities of having a body that is highly attuned to nature energy. In fact I use nature energy daily to strengthen my body. This another reason for my strength. I have a feeling that if I practice hard I can awaken Wood Style without using First Hokage's cells. If we can replicate my gift to some level, your strength will increase in leaps and bounds."

Kushina, Kana and Mikoto felt happy that Arashi had thought about sharing his gift with them. They knew if words got out of his capabilities, shinobi would either use him or kill him to eliminate future threats.

"So my plan for future is simple. Find a way to combine different bloodline without exchanging body parts and find a way to reach at least Kaguya's level to prepare against Otsutsuki clan. I have a feeling they are going to come sooner than later."

At the mention of Otsutsuki clan, the three girls became dreadful. They didn't want to think of an opponent who could defeat all the shinobis even if they were to fight together. Just a man having the power of both Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju would bring all the nations to their knees.

After thinking hard for 10 minutes, Kushina, Kana and Mikoto looked at each other. They could feel each others eagerness to gain strength beyond a man.

"So what do you want us to do. We want to join in this plan of yours."
