The Sharingan Hyuga

While Shuichi asked the middle-aged looking man before him "who are you? where am I? No, before that. confirm whether you are a friend or a foe before I decide it myself". The man replied "Hamura Otsutsuki".

Shuichi was surprised "What!!!". He replied, "my name is Hamura Otsutsuki". Shuichi replied "No way that's possible. Hamura Otsutsuki is our ancestor who's been dead for a Millenium. Tell me who you really are or else you will have to regret it you, imposter". He activated his ASH eyes with intent to fight.

Hamura sighed "it's been a long time since I saw Byaringan directly. It's nostalgic". Shuichi was once again surprised by his words "What is this guy spouting. Byaringan? what is it? my ash eyes? who is this imposter?".

Hamura replied "well, quite a cautious one, aren't you. it's fine. I have patience. After all, I'm waiting for a thousand years. But anyway, I'm Hamura, the founder of Hyuga clan on your earth. I was dead a Millenium ago and still was dead. well, as for where you are, we're currently in the spirit world. you can just confirm it with your Rinnegan.

Shuichi calmed down after listening to his explanation. He immediately activated his Rinnegan and was surprised that he was really in the spirit as he can see other spirits roaming around but there seemed like a barrier around them that no one wasn't able to come near them.

He looked at him carefully and after thinking that there wasn't really no reason for anyone to posture as his ancestor in the spirit world and not to mention, not everyone can pull someone from real-world to the spirit world, He bowed a little "I apologize for my rude actions, Hamura-sama".

He waved his hands "doesn't matter. well, you must have confused why you are here, why am I meeting you, right?". Shuichi nodded. Hamura continued "it's time for you to know something". He snapped his fingers and they changed their locations suddenly and both stood before a Gigantic tree.

Shuichi immediately guessed "is this Shinju?". Hamura nodded "yes. No one knows its origin. But after it came into existence, it started to nourish the land and helped it to thrive. because of its massive size, humans began to worship it as a sacred pillar that extended into the heavens and remained ambivalent to all conflict.

But in truth, it was just slowly killing the land and its people by absorbing natural energy around them. It was believed that anyone who approached the tree was consumed by a demon spirit and died like a withered branch.

It produced a fruit which human legends told never to be touched. Those who filled with greed end up as a corpse. So, ultimately, it became a forbidden existence". Then, the scenery started to change before him. Even though Shuichi knew the whole story, he still kept quiet for the respect of his ancestor.

"Then, our mother Kaguya Otsutsuki travelled to this Earth from a distant world with someone else from the clan in search for the fruit of the Shinju. I don't know what happened to him, but only, Mother reached here. After that, she fell in love with a human and bore two twins.

you know who they are, right? since you read the Uchiha stone tablet".

Shuichi was surprised "how do you know?". Hamura replied, "I'm watching you from the moment you were born Shuichi". Shuichi was surprised "what!!! why? one second, Uchiha stone tablet? is it really written by Sage of the six paths? then why weren't you and your mother mentioned at all".

Hamura replied "patience. you'll get your answers slowly. so, where are we? right. The two children were Hagoromo Otsutsuki who later became widely known as Sage of the six paths and the other is me, Hamura Otsutsuki".

Then he started to show his childhood, and later how he met Gamamaru and learned his mother's story. How they fought against her and sealed her. Shuichi asked "so, the Juubi is nothing more than the combined form of Kaguya and the shinju and both of you sealed her in the moon. is that it?. so that means that statue..."

He nodded "yes, the statue which was supposed to be sealed in the core of the moon for eternity was summoned by Madara Uchiha who awakened Rinnegan to the Earth. The things you and Madara read on Uchiha stone tablet are all half-truths which are altered by someone intentionally".

Shuichi nodded "I thought someone from Uchiha wrote it half-heartedly but didn't think someone would actually alter the original writings but for what reason? wait a second. Zetsu said Sharingan and Mangekyou sharingan can also partially decipher it and it also contains the method to acquire Rinnegan.

So, that means someone actually wanted Madara to awaken Rinnegan to summon the statue from the moon. right?". Hamura nodded "yes. my brother created it so that none of the future generations was able to awaken Rinnegan". Then Shuichi remembered how he got injected with Hashirama's cells back then by Zetsu.

He then thought "don't tell me it's Zetsu. He's everywhere in the story with both Madara and me. He is the only chakra being I saw other than Bijuu. Did he lie to everyone that he's Madara's will? why did I believe him back then? is it because he showed me those war scenes records? who knows. Madara is dead anyway. There's no absolute proof".

He shook his head "Nah, it can't be. I was shown how Madara and he trained Tobi. So, he must be Madara's will. After all, given Madara's strength, how can someone fool him. yeah. so, who else can it be".

Hamura then asked, "what are you thinking?". Shuichi came back to his senses "Ah, forgive me Hamura-sama. Please continue".

Hamura then spoke, "After sealing her away, while my brother stayed on Earth and spread ninshu which is a creed that revolves around chakra to connect with others, understand each other without even speaking. It was later developed into ninjutsu, combat techniques using chakra by his son Indra, the progenitor of Uchiha clan".

Shuichi then asked, "can I ask you a question that's been bugging me all along". Hamura nodded "feel free to ask. I will clear all of your doubts". He asked "I heard that Madara eat Hashirama's flesh and awakened rinnegan later. I too was injected Hashirama's cells to awaken Rinnegan.

So, does that mean are Hashirama's cells necessary for Rinnegan awakening for an Uchiha?. If so, why didn't Tobi awakened it yet? I saw in Zetsu records that he was given. Well, in simple terms, what exactly is needed to awaken Rinnegan?".

Hamura hesitated for a bit, then they heard a voice "from here on, let me explain the story, Hamura". A figure slowly appeared beside him while floating in the air.
