“Too… too shameless! This is utterly shameless!” Uchiha Lingyue gnashed her teeth in anger after hearing it, seething with rage. She never imagined that the Six Paths Sage's inherited bloodline, which she had always been so proud of, concealed so many schemes and extremely shameless calculations.
Previously, when she learned of her special identity, a hint of excitement and pride had welled up in her heart.
She was a descendant of the Six Paths Sage; why should other Ninja clans even compare to her clan?
It was only right and proper for the Uchiha Clan to inherit the Ninja World.
Why do you say the Uchiha are inherently evil?
Oh, so it's jealousy!
That's good.
As Tenxiu said,
You have already chosen the path to your own demise!
This was the psychological advantage the two of them felt at the time, knowing they carried the Six Paths Sage's bloodline.
But now, all those feelings had vanished.
Only a heart full of resentment and unwillingness remained.
Anyone who heard that their ancestor, Indra, had been so bullied would feel an uncomfortable Stuffy in their heart, unable to let it go.
Especially when the two understood that the mastermind behind this—the Six Paths Sage—they felt even more indignant.
The Six Paths Sage's actions were too obvious.
After Uchiha Tenxiu eloquently explained how, in a parallel world, he meticulously analyzed the Ashura will lurking within Uzumaki Naruto, he was startled to discover the various hidden moves laid by the Six Paths Sage, subsequently unearthing all the secrets within the Ninja World, and revealing everything to Yukino and Lingyue.
At this moment, the two finally awoke as if from a dream, suddenly realizing the secrets hidden within the Ninja World, especially the Six Paths Sage's unknown family matters and all the schemes he had orchestrated.
And all of this was explained by Uchiha Tenxiu, using the Ashura will as a grand excuse, in a seemingly logical and fluid manner.
This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire in Uchiha Yukino and Uchiha Lingyue's hearts, making them dislike this ancestor even more. They were both his sons, yet he was so biased towards Ashura; it was truly infuriating!
Moreover,
His favoritism towards Ashura was blatant, and this bias had lasted for a full thousand years!
Throughout these long years, the Six Paths Sage always stood on Ashura's side, constantly providing him with various aid and support, helping Ashura's descendants defeat Indra's descendants.
Whenever Ashura's descendants encountered difficulties, the Six Paths Sage would always intervene without hesitation, providing various means and resources, as if Ashura's descendants were the apple of his eye.
As for Indra's descendants, the Six Paths Sage completely ignored them, even deliberately allowing them to fail.
“Does he still deserve to be called the Six Paths Sage for such behavior?” Uchiha Yukino couldn't help but ask, “What right does he have to constantly interfere in the affairs of the Ninja World? Or is it just for those disgusting schemes!”
“Since he is already dead, he should stay quietly in the Pure Land and not come out to stir up trouble anymore!” Uchiha Lingyue said angrily in a low voice, pounding the table.
“Always favoring Ashura's descendants like this, are we, the Uchiha Clan, not his descendants too?”
Uchiha Yukino and Uchiha Lingyue felt even more wronged and unfairly treated. This kind of favoritism and discriminatory behavior from their ancestor was something they simply could not accept from the bottom of their hearts.
“And he talks about a ‘test,’ when it’s clearly because Ashura resembled him before he awakened his power that he pulled off this absurd act of favoring the younger over the elder. He clearly had ulterior motives and schemed everything, yet he deliberately targeted our descendants of Indra. This is simply too much!” Uchiha Lingyue was so enraged her hair stood on end, and her eyes were crimson, as if about to spew fire. No one, upon learning that their own family had suffered such unfair treatment, could remain calm and indifferent, especially when such unequal treatment and malice had lasted for a thousand years.
Isn't this bullying honest people?
Since Uchiha Tenxiu established the Da Zhou, its affairs, apart from Uchiha Tenxiu's personal involvement, have been controlled by Uchiha Yukino and Uchiha Lingyue behind the scenes, overseeing every change in the Ninja World.
Naturally, as their experience grew, their political skills also improved day by day, becoming increasingly sophisticated. They naturally saw through the Six Paths Sage's actions; the so-called 'test' was merely a flimsy excuse to cover up his true intentions, which were nothing more than to legitimately pass on his Ninjutsu to Ashura under the guise of fairness, preventing any verbal challenges from others.
After all, at that time, Ashura's strength and wisdom were inferior to Indra's, and forcibly passing on the position to Ashura would indeed be unreasonable.
But with a test, there would be sufficient reason.
In short, whether in terms of strength or wisdom, after the Six Paths Sage imparted his power, Indra would absolutely not be able to defeat Ashura.
“Heh heh,” Uchiha Yukino sneered, “I finally understand why the Senju Clan, led by Senju Hashirama, always spouts such high-sounding words, but their actual actions completely contradict what they say, and only make things worse, ultimately leading to a more terrible outcome. So, they learned all this from their old ancestor!” Her brows furrowed slightly, her silver teeth biting gently, and her pink fists clenched tightly, clearly furious at the Six Paths Sage's favoritism and schemes, and no longer having any respect for this so-called ancestor.
“Isn’t that right,” Uchiha Lingyue also laughed, infuriated, “Who would have thought that the root cause of the Uchiha Clan’s discrimination could be traced back to a thousand-year-old inheritance? This is truly hilarious!” She couldn’t help but look at Uchiha Tenxiu, asking somewhat helplessly, “Tenxiu, when you select your successor in the future, will you also use this method to test them?”
Beside her, Uchiha Yukino's gaze also subtly drifted over, seemingly awaiting Uchiha Tenxiu's words.
“Haha, how could that be?” Uchiha Tenxiu smiled calmly and said, “Since ancient times, it has always been: if there is a legitimate son, establish him; if not, establish the eldest. There is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate, and an order of seniority!”
“Since the system has been so clearly defined, we should strictly follow this system in making our choices. If a monarch arbitrarily changes the system based on personal preference, it will only lead to the destruction of rules and chaos in order!”
Uchiha Tenxiu spoke very quickly, as if these words had been brewing in his mind for a long time.
His subconscious mind was also telling him that he would absolutely not neglect his concubines because of his love for his wife, nor would he allow any descendants other than the two of them to inherit his position.
Furthermore, this method of succession is learned from previous generations and is relatively the most stable. As long as the monarch himself is not brain-damaged and does not persecute such heirs, it is basically the most secure method of succession, and there is no need to worry about internal competition.
Directly determine the future by birth.
It seems unfair.
But in reality, it is the greatest fairness.
Otherwise,
If you fight for it, the system will inevitably collapse.
Conversely, if the position is firmly fixed at birth, others will not want to contend for it in ways outside the rules.
Moreover,
As a transcendent world,
Uchiha Tenxiu is not afraid that they want to be the heir of this country; instead, he is afraid that they do not want to be the heir.
As a transcendent world, there is a clear transcendent path that can lead to immortality and invincibility.
Perhaps, when Uchiha Tenxiu gets tired of playing in reality, he will pass on everything he has to his descendants.
If all descendants have great ambitions, and each has a broad vision, wanting to diligently cultivate,
They would not want to be the heir to the country.
