After a full meal, the flames of the campfire were relatively weak. It was too early, but there was no plan to add more firewood.
The three of them just sat on the stools, looking up through the branches and looking at the dark night.
The moon in the sky shines brightly, but the dense branches slightly block the light, dividing the sky and the ground into two worlds of light and shadow.
This kind of scenery is difficult to see in Konoha. The village is too lively. In that kind of environment, no one will have a peaceful state of mind.
Over the years, Uchiha Tatsu has only had such a feeling in the small courtyard of Mito. It's a pity that the yard is still there, but the person has been dead for many years...
After a while, Mikoto turned around and asked softly: "Chen, did you say there is someone on the moon?"
"Yes, I have."
"how do you know?"
"The land beneath our feet can support life, and the moon can certainly support it as well."
"...Okay." The girl pursed her lips, obviously not particularly satisfied with this answer.
Uchiha Tatsumi slapped her on the head, and then said with a smile: "I have read the family classics before, and it is recorded in it that in ancient times, there was no moon."
"Then what?"
"Then the Sage of Six Paths created a moon."
Mikoto covered her mouth and smiled: "This is just a fairy tale, isn't it Himeji?"
Although Himeji next to her was staring at the night sky, her ears were perked up to listen to the conversation between the two, so when she heard Mikoto's question, she responded with a gentle "hmm".
Uchiha Tatsumi smiled but did not refute.
Because it was so long ago, most people regard the Sage of Six Paths as a myth, let alone the creation of the moon... something beyond the understanding of ninjas.
This is just like if someone tells you today that human beings were created by Nuwa, you will take it as a story and laugh it off.
Human beings generally believe that the myths that appeared in various ancient civilizations are just moral stories with the same symbolic elements, and they are passed down from generation to generation, exaggerated from generation to generation, and thus passed down to this day.
… So they are just fiction, not historical fact.
"But everyone knows that myths come from legends, and legends come from history..." Uchiha Tatsumi fiddled with the bonfire in front of him and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"These histories are passed down orally, coupled with the passing of long years, they will always be slowly lost through artificial distortion and exaggeration.
But at the end of the day, some things really happen! "
However, humans cannot know what the original facts were like, and they cannot distinguish from the numerous volumes of myths which ones are real and which ones are fictions. Therefore, they can only be classified as fictions.
Uchiha Tatsu is just an ordinary person. He naturally cannot discern the truth of the myths in his previous life, and he has no way of knowing "how many girlfriends Sun Wukong has."
But, reborn in the world of Naruto, he is the Archdruid!
As long as Uchiha Tatsu is willing, he can be more like a magic stick than Toad Sennin.
But this was in the past. Due to his wanton destruction of the plot, his ability to prophesy has been sealed by the Space-Time Administration. He can only work as a Shinobi Historian and barely make ends meet.
"But even so, I am still one of the few people in the entire ninja world who knows the truth."
Uchiha Chen's eyes were as bright as fire.
"At least, I won't be fooled like Master Ban."
When he thought of this, he touched the bench that was heated by the bonfire and couldn't help shaking his head.
In his opinion: Madara's whole life has been just chasing myths, a mythical story about the Rinnegan, the Ten-Tails, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
How crazy is it to dare to waste the rest of your life in darkness based on just a few words from a stone tablet
Not only that, he also wanted to have fun with his good friend.
Uchiha Tatsumi could even imagine the scene that happened at Nanga Shrine that night:
Madara held Hashirama with one hand and pointed at the stone tablet with the other, expressing enthusiastically that as long as the two of them unite, they can get everything!
It's like one day, a good friend of yours suddenly tells you that you are really the descendant of the dragon, and you can also activate the bloodline of the true dragon...
So the question is, will you abandon your billions of wealth and follow him regardless of everything
The first Hokage chose no.
He is not a fool. He has built a great empire by himself and has a beautiful wife. He would only engage in infinite Tsukuyomi with Madara when he is sick.
So, the two broke up unhappy that night, and they broke up from then on!
Facts have proved that Madara was wrong, and what he was pursuing was just wishful thinking.
Seeing the young man's sighing and mourning expression, Mikoto held his hand and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Uchiha Tatsu did not answer, but instead asked: "Mikoto, do you think we can make the moon like the Sage of Six Paths?"
"How is it possible? This is not something humans can do."
Uchiha Tatsumi shook his head: "Six Paths Sage is just a stronger ninja."
At the same time, he added in his heart: "Nuwa is just a human being with a full science and technology tree."
Himeji, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly turned his head and said, "If you can make a moon, can you give me one?"
"No problem," Uchiha Tatsu smiled and nodded, "Maybe Himeji's family was originally a lunar person."
"why would you say so?"
Uchiha Tatsu stood up, pointed at the night sky and said, "Don't you think the moon is similar to your family's eyes?"
“…”
… …
After that, the three of them continued chatting for a while. At about eight o'clock, Uchiha Tatsu said to the two of them: "Go and have a rest. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Himeji glanced at him and walked towards the tent without saying a word. As for Mikoto, she lingered and didn't want to leave.
"Go ahead and be obedient."
After seeing Mikoto go to rest, Uchiha Tatsu took out the scroll and read it carefully by the campfire.
Originally, he should have arranged to take turns to keep vigil, but because of the special nature of tonight, he did not do so.
Anyway, staying up all night has no impact on him.
When dawn comes, a light mist quietly fills the woods, and moist moisture oozes from every corner.
This night, everything was still peaceful, with no mist ninjas or any other abnormalities.
Is it really just a coincidence
Uchiha Tatsuya didn't think too much. He called up the two girls, ate something hastily and continued on his way.
Finally, in the morning, the three of them arrived at Mihua Town.
