Chapter 942 A New World, One-Punch Man
Zhang Hai closed his eyes and began to recover his pupil power. Although the time he had just deciphered was short, the amount of information was extremely large. It almost recounted the origin of the ninja world from beginning to end and also pointed out the existence of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Zhang Hai wasn't particularly moved by the final boss in the original story. The reason was simple: his intelligence was appalling. Despite possessing overwhelming strength, he was sealed twice by a junior, making it difficult for Zhang Hai to take him seriously.
If Zhang Hai were in that situation, not only would Naruto and Sasuke have no chance, but the Sage of Six Paths would have been the same. After resting for a while, Zhang Hai opened his eyes, and this time, he immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. The second part of the stone tablet began to be deciphered, and unexpectedly, the first thing deciphered was not the Eye of the Moon Plan, but a strange piece of text.
To achieve stability, the gods divided Yin and Yang into two poles, which mutually generate and restrain each other, ultimately creating the myriad phenomena of the universe. Literally, this means the Sage of Six Paths split his power in two: one became the Senju clan, and the other the Uchiha clan. These two powers are mutually reinforcing and restraining, and when combined, they represent the power of the myriad phenomena, capable of manifesting all things in the world—omnipotent.
No wonder Madara and Hashirama were so powerful back then; they must have pushed the power within each other's bloodlines to their limits. Even if they didn't reach the level of "All Things Under Heaven" after joining forces, they weren't far off. But how can I obtain this power on my own? In the original story, Naruto and Sasuke were given power-ups by the Sage of Six Paths. I don't have such good luck. Besides, Zhang Hai has always harbored a deep fear of the Sage of Six Paths. Even if the Sage of Six Paths dared to give it to him, he wouldn't dare accept it. Power given without reason is never as real as power earned through one's own cultivation; it might disappear one day.
Zhang Hai had already witnessed the power of the Senju clan; both Tsunade and Tobirama possessed it, though neither had ever shown their full strength to him. As for the strongest, Hashirama, it wasn't impossible to glimpse his power; the experiment in Konoha was still ongoing. In that brief moment, Zhang Hai's thoughts raced, his interpretation of the stone tablet continuing unabated. However, no matter how much he amplified his eye power, he couldn't decipher the hidden parts. It seemed he could only stop here.
Zhang Hai speculated that the latter part was probably not something that the Mangekyou Sharingan could decipher, but rather something that required the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to understand. In other words, only Madara knew about the Eye of the Moon Plan, which was also part of the Black Zetsu Plan.
It seems Madara has lost all hope in this world, which is why he believes in a world constructed of illusion like the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Such a world represents true despair, devoid of any life; Zhang Hai would never choose it.
Zhi Shui sat before the stone tablet, a complex light flickering in his eyes. Although he could sense Zhang Hai's powerful aura and knew he couldn't directly confront him, he remained calm and waited patiently.
Zhang Hai's warning echoed in his ears. Zhi Shui didn't choose to retaliate, but instead took a deep breath and slowed his breathing. He wasn't incapable of dealing with Zhang Hai's attack, but he understood that this confrontation wasn't simply a contest of strength, but a clash of minds and thoughts. His awe of Zhang Hai was deeply ingrained, and Zhi Shui knew that his choice at this moment was the most rational—to wait, observe, and even yield.
"Aren't you afraid I'll just kill you?" Zhang Hai's voice carried a sense of oppression through the air. His eyes flashed with a cold light, but there was no anger in his tone. Instead, there was a hint of curiosity.
Shisui remained silent, simply looking at him with calm eyes, as if his threat had no effect whatsoever. After so many years of training and battles, Shisui was no longer the naive boy he once was; he had gained a deeper understanding of life, combat, and destiny.
“I understand your vigilance, Zhang Hai.” Zhi Shui finally spoke, his voice calm and unwavering. “You and I have no major conflict. If you don’t want me to interfere with you, then I will wait.” He was not in a hurry to act, but continued to maintain a distance, neither provoking Zhang Hai nor leaving himself any room to escape.
Zhang Hai raised an eyebrow slightly, observing Zhi Shui's composure, and deeply sensed his extraordinary nature. Although Zhi Shui didn't show any fierce resistance, his resolute aura surprised Zhang Hai. Perhaps, as Zhi Shui said, their relationship was no longer a simple superior-subordinate one, but a more complex one of equality.
Zhang Hai snorted coldly, withdrawing his attack stance and instead beginning to decipher the stone tablet before him. His Mangekyou Sharingan emitted a faint light once more, and the characters on the tablet became increasingly clear, as if drawn by some mysterious force. As he continued to delve deeper, the contents of the tablet gradually revealed an even more complex picture.
"The Sage of Six Paths...divided his power into two poles..." Zhang Hai murmured to himself, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. His pupils contracted as he began to fully decipher the contents of the stone tablet. It wasn't just about the bloodline inheritance between the Uchiha and Senju clans; it also touched upon deeper philosophical principles of Yin and Yang and the myriad phenomena of the universe.
"The relationship between the Senju and Uchiha clans... the combination of their bloodlines created the 'Power of All Things'..." Zhang Hai's thoughts grew increasingly complex as he analyzed these details one by one. The history recorded on the stone tablet revealed that the Uchiha and Senju were not simply enemies, but rather, to some extent, mutually opposed yet interdependent, ultimately forming a tremendous power.
Zhang Hai's feelings deepened. He understood that Hashirama and Madara's power stemmed from the ultimate confrontation and fusion of their two clans' strengths, but even so, they had not been able to fully control the power of "All Things Under Heaven." Their cooperation, though powerful, still could not reach that existence that transcended everything.
A resolute glint flashed in Zhang Hai's eyes. He knew that this power was not something he could easily control, and for him, it might not be the final answer. He firmly believed that relying on his own cultivation was the most reliable source of power.
However, as Zhang Hai continued to delve deeper into the stone tablet, he discovered some unexpected content. Deep within the tablet, Zhang Hai touched upon a piece of history that shocked him.
"Project Eye of the Moon..."
These words pierced the still air like a sharp blade, causing Zhang Hai's pupils to contract sharply. The Eye of the Moon Plan, Kaguya's resurrection, Black Zetsu's conspiracy... these contents directly relate to Madara Uchiha's despair and choices.
