Stone Tablet

The stone tablet is a monument which was created by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki in order to discourage his son's descendants from attempting to recreate the Rinnegan. The tablet can only be deciphered fully by the Rinnegan, while the Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan are able to partially decipher it.

Sometime after Hagoromo's death, certain facts and details on the tablet were forged by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's will, Black Zetsu. The tablet eventually fell into the possession of the Uchiha clan, where it was secretly passed down for generations. After the formation of Konohagakure, the tablet was kept in the underground bunker of the Naka Shrine.
