Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Therefore, Hagoromo chose Jinzen's second son, Ashura, as the heir to the Ninja Clan.

Although Ashura's power is far inferior to Indra's, he values ​​companions and unity more, which is more in line with Yui's expectations for the future of the Ninja Clan.

However, this decision caused a huge internal split. Indra and his supporters believed that the status of the eldest son should be respected, and Yuyi's decision to depose the eldest son and enthronize the youngest son caused their dissatisfaction.

After Hagoromo's death, the Ninja Clan quickly split into two major factions: one supporting Ashura, and the other following Indra.

This division led to infighting that lasted for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Ashura's descendants gradually evolved into the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan, while Indra's descendants formed the Uchiha clan.

The fighting between the descendants of the two major factions in the ninja world never subsided until the Warring States Period.

However, the dispute did not end with the death of the two brothers.

Their chakras cycled, Indra and Ashura were constantly reincarnated, continuing their fight, the struggle never stopped for thousands of years, and peace in the ninja world was therefore never completely achieved.

After reading this series of historical records, Yingyue's heart was filled with waves.

The bloody history of the ninja world and the curse of reincarnation have caused this land to fall into endless conflicts for thousands of years.

While studying the ancient history preserved by the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, Shadow Moon gradually discovered a deeper problem: Not only did the Six Paths Sage make controversial decisions on the issue of succession, he also split the powerful Ten Tails. Although this decision was well-intentioned at first, it caused more complicated consequences in later generations.

The Six Paths Sage realized that the power of the Ten-Tails was too great and dangerous. He was particularly worried that if the future successor to the Ninja Clan mastered this power, he might repeat Kaguya's mistakes and even plant a sacred tree in order to obtain stronger chakra, causing the Ninja World to collapse.

Therefore, the Six Paths Sage decided to split the Ten-Tails Chakra into nine different chakras and give them different forms. These became the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world.

The Sage of Six Paths scattered these tailed beasts everywhere, hoping that they would coexist peacefully with the humans in the ninja world and no longer be used as tools for the struggle for power.

The Six Paths Sage himself took the outer shell of the Ten-Tails - the Outer Path Demon Statue - and sealed it on the moon, leaving it for the Hamura clan to protect.

Yingyue saw that the original intention of the Six Paths Sage's decision was good, but later generations regarded these nine forces as powerful weapons, leading to endless competition.

However, Yingyue further researched and found that after losing the power of the Ten-Tails, the Ninja Clan gradually lost its stable foundation.

The succession dispute between Indra and Ashura made the internal rifts of the Shinobi Clan more obvious.

Although Ashura inherited the name of the Shinobi Clan, his own strength was not enough to absolutely suppress his opponents, while Indra and his followers were unwilling to give up the fight for power.

When Ashura and Indra died one after another, the Ninja Clan quickly lost control of the Ninja World.

Without the powerful deterrent of the Ten-Tails, the Ninja Clan no longer had the ability to unify the ninja world, and instead fell into a long period of division and struggle.

Yingyue learned that the descendants of Ashura and Indra soon formed the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan in the fight, which started hundreds of years of war in the ninja world.

Having lost the power and authority personally controlled by the Sage of Six Paths, the Ninja Clan completely fell apart after a few generations and became the chaotic backdrop of the Warring States Period.

Yingyue pondered for a long time and realized that the peace blueprint envisioned by the Six Paths Sage had not been successful. Instead, the decision to choose a successor and split the Ten-Tails had planted the seeds of trouble.

The original intention of the Six Paths Sage was to allow the ninja world to avoid the disasters of the Kaguya era and no longer indulge in the destructive power brought by chakra.

However, after losing its unity, the ninja world fell into endless struggle.

In order to compete for resources, power and the tailed beasts, various forces did not hesitate to provoke war, and the peace and order established by the Six Paths Sage disappeared.

Yingyue couldn't help but sigh that although the Six Paths Sage was far-sighted, he underestimated the desires and ambitions of human beings.

The Sage of Six Paths believed that by splitting the power he could reduce conflicts, but he never imagined that the divided power would instead cause more complicated problems in the power struggle.

Through the historical records of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, he clearly saw the deeds of Kaguya, the Six Paths Sage, and the successors of the Ninja Clan in the past, and also deeply understood the intentions and limitations of these ancestors.

However, Shadow Moon did not become obsessed with power or think that being strong was the only way to maintain peace in the ninja world.

He understood that although there were lessons to be learned from past history, the power and will of a few people alone could not truly change the fate of the entire world.

The eras of Kaguya, the Six Paths Sage, and the Ninja Clan were all about trying to control, guide, or rule humanity, but this model of top rule could not bring true long-term stability.

Yingyue was convinced that the future of the ninja world must be decided by millions of ordinary people in the ninja world, rather than by a great man or some absolute power.

Under Shadow Moon's leadership, the ninja world has entered a new era of peace and prosperity.

A fair and democratic system is gradually being implemented, people are enjoying unprecedented rights and freedoms, and the interests and responsibilities of different ethnic groups are becoming more balanced.

Shadow Moon abandoned the past royal ruling model that relied on personal strength, and instead established a system that allows the people to participate in decision-making and supervise power.

Everyone can rely on wisdom, ability and hard work to obtain the status they deserve, and society pays more attention to the principle of making the best use of people and things.

The economy, culture, education, science and technology in various places are developing in an all-round way, and the ninja world has ushered in a new prosperity.

Yingyue knew that he would not always be at the pinnacle of power. He was not building an empire that would last for thousands of years, nor did he plan to train an heir to continue his rule.

It is precisely because he is well aware of the corrosiveness of power that he hopes to return power to the millions of people so that they can decide their own future and the future of the ninja world.

Yingyue secretly warned himself in his heart that the so-called "destiny" is nothing more than the glorification and dependence of the strong on power. The real destiny should belong to everyone in the ninja world.

Looking towards the future of the ninja world, Shadow Moon decided to continue promoting people's self-governance.

After his series of reforms, the productivity and social system of the ninja world have become sufficient to support a democratic system with large-scale public participation in decision-making.

Shadow Moon supports grassroots elections, popular representative councils, and the selection and supervision of senior officials, and the establishment of popularly elected "tribune" as a check on government decisions.

Yingyue personally promoted the development of the Internet and wireless communications, allowing people of all races in the ninja world to exchange ideas online and even participate remotely in voting and decision-making on public affairs.

Shadow Moon also encourages the establishment of local autonomy, handing over the management of some basic affairs to the people and giving them more autonomy.

This system allows everyone to feel that they are part of the ninja world, and everyone's voice can be heard in the ninja world.

Yingyue believes that only when the people of the ninja world participate together in social management can the world's long-term peace be truly maintained.

Yingyue knew that if the history of the ninja world was written in the future, his name might be remembered as a pioneer who transcended the shackles of power and pushed the ninja world towards true fairness and freedom.

He has no ambition for power, but instead hopes to be the guide of this great change and lay a foundation for peace and prosperity in the ninja world.

The ninja world of the future will no longer rely on a great man or some powerful force, but on the wisdom and unity of millions of people to create a better life.
