Leaving the Hokage office, Mito and Kidou walked together but no one said anything.
When they were out of the building, Mito looked at the Hokage Mountain, and said, "Let's look around the village."
Kidou looked at Mito for a second and then he nodded at her. They both walked on the streets of Konoha, and an hour passed by.
For the past hour, Mito just looked around and didn't say anything. Beside her, Kidou also looked around and he compared the scene to places he had visited before.
After walking around, the duo stopped at the Hokage Mountain, and Mito sat on Hashirama's head.
She looked at the village with a gentle smile on her face and said, "When I was young, it was the warring states era. In my time, Uzumaki had changed from warmonger, and battle freaks to a clan who secluded themselves to maintain the Fuinjutsu legacy."
Kidou sat beside her and said, "Mm, I read that in the records at Uzu. Still, I didn't expect that Uzumaki was also the same as Uchiha, Kaguya, and Senju who battled a lot in the Warring States era."
Mito looked at Kidou and said, "Let's not mention the Kaguya Clan as they have brain damage. Uchiha, Senju and Uzumaki, you could say that these clans have the best bloodline in the world, and even Hyuga can't compare to them."
"Their Byakugan is good, but the Hyuga Clan has maintained their rigidity which has caused them to downgrade in strength, and soon they would downgrade in numbers."
"In the warring states, when people died every day, the branch system of Hyuga Clan could be considered a good thing, but now that they have tasted the sweetness of Peace, the members of the branch clan have become slaves, while the members of Main Clan have become accustomed to having slaves."
Mito said while looking in the direction of Hyuga Clan, and Kidou raised his brows but he didn't say anything. He knew that the Hyuga Clan had big shortcomings, and if Naruto and Hinata didn't love each other, someone in the Hyuga Clan would have pulled Itachi to them.
"You said that Uzumaki, Senju and Uchiha used to fight a lot, but that's not it. It's not that they liked to fight, but they had to fight as they had nothing else to prove their values."
"You have read the records so you should know the speculations made in it," Mito asked, and Kidou nodded at her.
"Yeah, the speculation about a hand in the dark causing chaos in the world and letting everyone fight. I agree with the speculation, and I am sure of it.
Kidou said while thinking of Black Zetsu in his mind, and he released his senses. Mito noticed this, but she didn't ask about it. Instead, she looked at the village and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Do you believe that Sage of Six Paths existed?" Kidou asked while searching for any White Zetsus but he didn't find any around them.
"I believe that he existed," Mito said while touching the rhombus mark on her forehead and she had read that Yin Seal used to be an ancient seal.
"Then, do you know that Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha are descendants of Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki?"
Kidou asked with a smile on his face, and Mito's expression changed at his words.
"Don't resist," He said, and Mito found herself immersed in an illusion. She saw two long curved lines wound together with many lines between them.
"This DNA of Senju Clan, the main and the most primitive I could find after the experiment of purification and cleansing."
Kidou said as he marked a few places in the right-hand helix structure of DNA, and he created another one in the Illusion.
"This is DNA of the Uchiha Clan, same conditions as the Senju one."
"And this is DNA of Uzumaki Clan, same as other two."
Mito looked at the structures with her eyes wide and she didn't expect Kidou to be able to visualise the human DNA.
"Notice the marks, and how they are arranged. In the most primitive one I could create the DNA of Senju and Uzumaki had 60% matching while the DNA of Senju, and Uchiha had 38% matching."
"Not only that, but the defects in the Senju Clan were also dominant gene in Uchiha, and vice versa. If the two DNA were connected together to fill the defect positions, then they matched to 84%."
"To be honest, at first, I was amazed by this, and after checking a few records and trying to combine the cells of three clans, I noticed that the DNA formed by the three was superior to the other three."
"Later, I got the DNA of other clans, and in the end, the ones that matched with Senju, Uzumaki and Uchiha were Kaguya and Hyuga."
"Coincidentally, four of the clans are in Konoha, and in past, Hyuga and Kaguya used to have some relationship."
"Let's not mention about Senju, Uzumaki and Uchiha. Senju and Uzumaki have a good relationship, while Senju and Uchiha are rivals and enemies."
"Now, the problem is if Senju, Uzumaki and Uchihas are descendants of the same person, why have they been fighting for 1000 years? So, I searched the history and read the documents in Uchiha, Hyuga, and even the library of Damiyos, and I noticed something."
"After a few generations, in Uchiha and Senju Clan, there would be two people who can be called the masters of Generation. The most important matter is that in the generation, either both Senju and Uchiha will have those two masters, or they won't have."
"This matter seemed strange, so I thought of looking for someone who could know this. In the end, I have set my sights on Three Immortal Lands, and I plan on asking Katsuyu about this."
"Still, what do you think of this matter? Grandma?" Kidou asked after saying everything, and he saw Mito looking at the chart he made with a shocked expression on her face.
When she had asked the question, she was expecting Kidou a normal answer, or something like he had a feeling of this.
But, she didn't expect Kidou to answer like this, and his words were too shocking for her.
"You know, I asked Kurama about this, but that lazy fox only slept for most of the time, and he didn't even know anything."
Kidou said as he clicked his tongue, and Mito rolled her eyes at his words. Only Kidou could say something like to Tailed Beasts, and Mito started to think of Kidou's words.
"If it is as you said, then it means that until the backhand is solved, peace can't come," Mito muttered after thinking for a few moments and Kidou nodded at her.
"Besides the backhand, I have another matter to solve, but I don't know where to start," Kidou said as he thought of Isshiki in the world, and he wanted to take care of him as soon as possible.
"What matter?" Mito asked, and Kidou thought for a moment and said, "You should have read that Sage of Six Paths sealed Rabbit Goddes in Moon and made the world peaceful. So, I wonder where Sage of Six Paths came from and who is Rabbit Goddess?"
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki, that's the name of Sage of Six Paths, but there is no mention of Rabbit Goddess. Since he was strong, why didn't he kill Rabbit Goddess instead of sealing her, if he could only seal her instead of killing her, does it mean that there is a way to unlock the seal?"
"If it is, the Sage of Six Paths should have done something to prevent this from happening, but that's not my major question."
"My major question is where did they come from? If they came from somewhere, does it mean that more beings like Sage of Six Paths and Rabbit Goddess exist?"
"If they do, just how strong they are, and can we defeat them if they came to us? I don't believe anyone in the world can create a moon, and if even Sage of Six Paths can only seal her, then it means that the world is doomed if they come here."
Kidou said while staring at the sky, and Mito looked at him with a dumbfounded expression on her face. She tried to say something, but she closed her mouth and started to think again.
'Let's say that Sage of Six Paths exists, then the other speculations could be correct too. It means that there must be something in the world that Rabbit Goddess needs or why would she care and attack others?'
'With Sage of Six Paths sealing her, someone from Rabbit Goddess's place must notice that she hadn't come back so they would look for her, but then why haven't they come and attacked?'
'Does this mean that Rabbit Goddess doesn't exist or, if she was alone? The latter is highly impossible, and first could be true.'
'But, if Rabbit Goddess doesn't exist, then it should be the same for Sage of Six Paths. But that would be the same as denying everything, and the proof that Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki are descendants of the same person.'
'Also, it would mean the backhand doesn't exist as the world has been at war for 1000 years.'
Mito thought for a long time, and she said, "Sage of Six Paths should exist. Same for Rabbit Goddess, and it's same for people from her place."
"As for the reason why they haven't come, it must be some problem on their side, but maybe in future at some point, they will attack the world."
"Kidou, it doesn't matter if they exist or not, but you can just consider the worst-case scenario, and prepare for the worst outcome. No, I guess I don't need to remind you this as you have already started to prepare, right?"
Mito asked, and Kidou chuckled at her words.
"Yeah, you are right. I have already considered the worst-case scenario, and even if I don't find any proof, I just need to increase our strength and get stronger. If I can strong enough to create a Moon, then Sage of Six Paths should be true, and if I can't, then there is nothing to care about."
"I can only leave the details, and knowledge for future generations to solve the problem."
'Hah! That's just for saying! Three years later, I should be strong enough to take care of Kaguya.'
Kidou said with a smile on his face, while he thought in his mind, and he looked in the direction of the sky with a cold look in his eyes. Three years later, he knew that the direction of the world would change, and these three years were going to be crucial for him.
Mito looked at Kidou and she gave a nod. In this matter, she couldn't think of anything, and if Kidou shared his eyes with her, then she would help him as she could.
The duo kept on looking at the village, and since then, three years passed by.
