Chapter 19 Where does the unofficial history come from? (Ch 19)

What the hell?
This thought instantly appeared in Uchiha Madara’s mind.
Black Zetsu, who had been silent the whole time, also felt the same doubt and surprise surge in his mind.
Kaguya’s Book of Friends
He could recognize these words when they were separated, but why, when they were put together, they exuded an… indescribable sense of absurdity?
“Legend has it that Princess Kaguya single-handedly quelled the chaos of war, and as a result, she was honored as the Goddess of the Rabbit.”
“But what the world doesn’t know is,” Mozer changed the subject, attracting the full attention of both, “After Princess Kaguya quelled the war between humans, the world did not truly come to peace.”
“…”
Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu remained silent, wanting to see what would come out of Moze’s mouth.
“Because in the world at that time, there were nine demons whose strength far exceeded mortal imagination. They had existed since ancient times and wreaked havoc on the human world.”
Moze’s voice had just the right amount of solemnity.
“They have different forms and strange abilities. Mortals cannot contend with them at all. Even Princess Kaguya at that time was afraid of them. In that ancient book, they are called–”
Moze paused and uttered three words: “Demon Beast!”
Demon beast?
What the hell? Why haven’t I heard of this?
Where does this unofficial history come from?
Kaguya is such a big girl. When Black Zetsu heard this, he wanted to interrupt and question, but Uchiha Madara didn’t say anything, so he could only hold it in.
Mo Ze seemed to be completely unaware of the audience’s inner turmoil, and continued to “quote” the contents of the ancient book in a serious manner: “The existence of each of the nine demon beasts is earth-shattering. The ancient book records that ‘each one has his own unique strengths, each has their own unique skills, their fighting spirit and patience are amazing, and their endless methods can give you unexpected shocks!'”
He spoke in a rhythmic manner, as if the original text of “Kaguya’s Book of Friends” was recorded in this way.
Uchiha Madara: “…”
Black Zetsu: “…”
This description…why does it sound so weird?
Although the literal meaning is understandable, the sense of language when combined does not have the solemnity that an ancient book should have.
Uchiha Madara’s remaining perception allowed him to capture the natural seriousness on Moze’s face, which deepened his doubts.
Is this guy serious, or is he just kidding?
Forget it, since he can indeed create a puppet with the power of the Outer Path Golem, I’ll just continue listening.
Uchiha Madara thought so.
“Princess Kaguya knows very well that if these demon beasts are not eliminated, the world will never have peace.” Mo Ze ignored the inner complaints of the two and continued, “Even though she knew that the road ahead was dangerous and the opponents were unimaginably powerful, Princess Kaguya still resolutely embarked on the road to defeat the nine demon beasts in order to protect this world that has just ushered in the dawn of peace!”
“Demon is very powerful, so powerful that even Kaguya was once at a disadvantage.”
“But in order to protect the lights of the thousands of homes behind her, Kaguya-hime burst out an unprecedented microcosm, defeating the nine demon beasts in one fell swoop.”
“But the good times didn’t last long.” He continued, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, “Even though they had just been killed, Kaguya discovered that the Demon Beasts were actually starting to revive.”
“The demon beast is immortal!”
Speaking of this, Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara didn’t complain much.
Because apart from things like “a myriad of lights” and “small universe”, they found this setting to be somewhat familiar.
Nine, immortal beings that will be reborn after death.
Isn’t this the setting of the tailed beasts? !
Could this so-called ancient book be a story made up by someone mixing the legend of Princess Kaguya and the settings of the tailed beasts?
But the same thing.
For the sake of the heretic golem.
Even though the story sounded full of loopholes and even a little childish and ridiculous, Uchiha Madara still planned to listen to it first before making any comments.
“After completely destroying the Demon King Beast three times, and welcoming the return of the Demon King Beast three times.”
“Kaguya realized that simple destruction would not be enough to eradicate them. If she continued like this, her power would be exhausted sooner or later, and the world would fall into darkness again.”
“So,” Moze’s tone dropped slightly, “The seal became the only and final solution.”
“In order to completely seal these indestructible demon beasts, Lady Kaguya devoted her heart and soul to creating a powerful sealing item called the Kaguya’s Book of Friends.”
When Moze mentioned this name, there was no strange expression on his face, as if this name should be so solemn and sacred.
“Whenever Kaguya defeats a Demon Lord Beast, she will activate the power of the Book of Friends, stripping it of its true name and existence, and completely sealing it inside.”
“The reason for sealing their real names is to completely cut off their connection with the world, and to prevent people with bad intentions from finding clues to unlock the seal simply by calling their names in the future, and then releasing the demon beasts for their own selfish desires, causing them to cholera the earth again.”
“But the power of the Demon King Beast is too great, and its existence itself is inextricably linked to the rules of the world.”
“Every time you use the Book of Friends to seal, it is a huge drain on Kaguya-sama. Every time you seal a demon beast, Kaguya-sama’s power will decline by one point.”
“After successfully sealing eight different beasts with different forms and strange abilities, Princess Kaguya is already at the end of her strength. When facing the last, the oldest and most powerful Wood Demon Beast – also known as the Outer Path Demon Statue, Princess Kaguya can no longer perfectly seal it and its true name in the Book of Friends as she did before.”
“Without any help, Lady Kaguya had to settle for the next best option and chose to divide the Outer Path Golem’s massive and nearly infinite power.”
“Thus, the nine tailed beasts were born.”
“The nine tailed beasts were born from the wood demon king beast, so they are also immortal, but each time they are resurrected, it takes a long time.”
“And I, “It was by chance that I got the ‘Kaguya’s Book of Friends’ which recorded the lost history, and learned the legend of the nine great demon beasts. I was lucky enough to inherit some of the power left by Kaguya-sama, which allowed me to create a puppet that contains part of the power of the Outer Path Demon Statue itself.”
Moser ended the story with a serious look on his face.
The cave fell into silence again.
Although Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu did not communicate with each other, they both had the same idea – this story, which is a mixture of many legends, is full of loopholes and flaws.
Childish, absurd, and cannot stand up to scrutiny.
But besides these obvious loopholes and flaws.
It also contains secrets that have never been circulated in the ninja world.
Especially the descriptions about the birth of the Outer Path Demon Statue and the Tailed Beasts are shockingly accurate.
The Wood Demon King Beast is obviously hinting at the fact that the Outer Path Golem is essentially a sacred tree.
This forced them to take it seriously.
