Chapter 30.5 - Path To Transcendence 2...
-Scene Change-
The Shinobi then felt his consciousness returned on the initial space where he was able to meet the Sage of the Six Paths. He then felt an overwhelming power now flowing within him. His Chakra reserves grew beyond his imagination, and he can now feel the power of Ashura and Indra perfectly melding with his own Chakra…
No… this is no longer ordinary Chakra…
The Chakra that he had right now… was much denser… more potent… more powerful than before…
"So this is… the Six Paths Chakra…" The Shinobi muttered while feeling the new power flooding all over his Chakra Circulatory system. After all, he can also feel that his body evolved beyond that of the physiques of the Uzumaki Clan. He can even feel that his body, even in human form, was more of a power incarnate than that of a human…
He then started trying to sense Senjutsu around him. And much to his surprise, the Senjutsu that he was feeling also evolved into a much potent power.
"And this natural energy… is the Six Paths Senjutsu… really an overwhelming power just like what had Ashura said…"
The Shinobi then accessed the Chakra from his eyes… and from there on out, he was now able to see a different kind of vision… making him somewhat amazed on how a Dojutsu really were capable of doing such ocular vision…
"So this is what Sasuke and Madara can see with their eyes… these eyes really can see the truth about everything… just like what Indra drilled on my head…" The Shinobi muttered. He then tried accessing the different forms of his eyes… and each form allowed him to access new powers while also increasing his Chakra-levels and physical attributes beyond of what he can imagine…
"Become a beacon of hope that will always cherish his bond with others…" Ashura's voice echoed within him…
"…and only use your power to fight for what you believed in…" Indra also said within him…
"…become our proper successor that will surpass the legend of the Sage of the Six Paths…" Indra and Ashura spoke at the same time, before the last trace of their presence disappeared aside from their melded powers within Naruto…
"Yeah… Thanks so much, Indra-sensei, Ashura-sensei…" Naruto muttered to himself with a confident smirk.
"So I take it that your Six Paths powers had already been awakened…" Hagoromo once again appeared with a fatherly smile towards Naruto.
"Yeah. My Yin and Yang Chakra melded with my own Chakra to become Six Paths Chakra. Ashura and Indra taught me a lot of things and in the end, they also entrusted me their powers that gave me another boost in power…" Naruto replied in appreciation.
"That's good to hear. And as I can see you right now, you're appearance might be the same, but you've matured… as a proper Sage beyond the concept of the Shinobi…" Hagoromo said while Naruto simply nodded in response.
"With all these powers and abilities, I believe that I now have the power to do everything…" Naruto simply replied.
"Now then... since you're already prepared, let's begin your training as the successor of the Sage of the Six Paths…" Hagoromo said as he created a single hand seal, allowing his appearance to revert back to his younger self. "Ashura and Indra… Hashirama and Madara… and now you, Uzumaki Naruto… the only person who was destined to defeat mother… History seemed to have repeated itself once again…"
"What do you mean…?" Naruto asked.
"All of these happened because of my wrong judgment. The conflicts that involved Chakra started because of me choosing Ashura than Indra. I never had thought of settling everything on my own, instead I entrusted everything to my sons. They misunderstood each other… and their battles transcended down to the next generations… leading the Shinobi World into the path of chaos. All because of the fact… that my way of thinking was too naïve."
"You're not wrong, old man. Definitely not wrong."Naruto replied. "We can only do so much when we are alive. And it will always be our responsibility to pass down the baton on the next generation once we knew that we had already done our own job."
"You're right, young one." The Rikudo old man said. "You're existence really can make a difference… just like what Gamamaru have predicted. You even influenced the Bijuus and earned their utmost trust, going as far as to providing you the power needed to defeat Uchiha Madara from the previous Shinobi War. You really are the young, mischievous boy who will call out the names of the Tailed Beasts and unite them as one…"
"I guess it's time for that, old man of the Six Paths…" Juubi Kurama roared, allowing him to manifest within that space in his usual, gargantuan form using their untouched connection while battling Kaguya.
"You're right, Kurama." Hagoromo replied. "You really have changed… from a violent beast to a trusting friend and partner… of this kid."
"He's a stubborn little brat. I can't help but just watch over him."Juubi Kurama replied in somewhat tsundere-ish expression.
"And you did it very, very well…" Hagoromo smiled towards Juubi Kurama while Naruto frantically nodded. Juubi Kurama just snorted in response. "And it's not just Kurama who was willing to lend their hand to you…"
"What do you mean…?" Naruto asked in dumbfounded expression.
"As I mean it…" Hagoromo said calmly. He then tapped his Shakujo on the water surface and channeled enormous amount of Chakra… "Rise… Shukaku… Matatabi… Isobu… Son Goku… Kokuo… Saiken… Choumei… Gyuuki… Yin Kurama… Yang Kurama… Time to awaken and help the Child of Prophecy on his new path to protect his new world…"
In that instance, the massive Bijuus simultaneously materialized from the water surface thru the power of the Sage of the Six Paths' Creation of All Things… The Bijuus surrounded Naruto and Hagoromo in circular formation with JuubiKurama behind Naruto…
"Everyone…" Naruto muttered with mix of awe, surprise and happiness after seeing all the Bijuus once again. He then curiously looked towards Juubi Kurama in wonder, since as far as he knew, Juubi Kurama absorbed the Chakra of all the Bijuu for him to become the new Ten Tails… during his fight against Madara… "…how come…?"
"You knew that my Chakra as the Ten-Tails is the combination of all the Bijuus' Chakra, and our Chakra had melded properly with each other, right?" Juubi Kurama said. Naruto nodded on response. "With that being said, my Chakra was flowing all over you. And that Chakra was used by the old man of the Six Paths to recreate the Bijuus thru the power of Creation of All Things, the very same jutsu used to create us from the Chakra of the Ten-Tails."
"That's why the Juubi Fox over there won't feel weakened after us being recreated as separate Bijuu." Yin Kurama said towards Naruto with a huge grin. "As you can see, the Juubi Fox's size and power didn't decrease at all. His size and power still dwarfed the powers of us individual Bijuus."
"Yeah, I can feel that. But does that mean…"
"Right. Right… We Bijuus are now separate entities from the Ten Tails. We have our own mind and Chakra, but that doesn't mean our Chakra weren't linked together. However, we just chose to see the end of your path and support you in the best way that we can, as Bijuus that you treated not as Demons, but another creature like what we should be…" Yang Kurama, the Bijuu who was sealed within Naruto since birth smirked towards his Jinchuuriki.
"And with this, you're no longer just the Jinchuuriki of the Juubi. You're now the Jinchuuriki of all the Bijuus! Hooh Hooh Haah Haah!" Son Goku said towards Naruto in a gorilla like fashion.
"Hey… isn't that a bit too much? I mean, all of you finally managed to become a being of your own without any attachment from being fragments of the Ten Tails' power. You can live your lives freely!"
"Sad to say, you're one of the few humans who will treat us like that." Shukaku said. "If we roam free, we will be just used as tools and weapons of wars. And we are already in a new world. So our habitat here isn't for us."
"That's why it will be better for us to exist within you and help you in our own ways that we can, especially now that you're facing the Goddess of Chakra, Kaguya…" Gyuuki said as well.
"And besides, you're the one who freed us from our despair on being treated as weapons. We were forced to use our powers against our own whim." Matatabi joined the conversation. "That's why for the first time, we decided to use our own powers to help you, thru our own will. This is our way of helping this someone who saved us, Bijuus…"
"It seemed that you really have charmed these children that made them decide to help you…Naruto." The Sage of the Six Paths said. "…and with all the powers of these Bijuus… the Juubi's power will also grow as well…"
"You're right… old man." Juubi Kurama said. "My power was growing in an exponential rate right now… Because these fragments, the Bijuus, acquired their own power. Thus that multiplied my very own power."
"And with the power of the Juubi continuing to grow, the power of the Shinju will now start to bloom, from a mere flower bud… into a full grown majestic giant tree…" Hagoromo said as he once again tapped the surface water with his Shakujo. This made the Shinju's power within Juubi Kurama react, then was released from the gargantuan Ten Tailed Fox. The Shinju's power then was buried on the exact part where the Six Path old man's shakujo. And it started to grow into a large tree but without its dangerous nature of absorbing Chakra of everything around it.
The Shinju continued to grow… with height that even far surpassed that of Juubi Kurama… It started to grow some branches and leaves, each leaf about the size of a mountain… (imagine the Yggdrasil tree from Alfheim of Sword Art Online). The current size of the Shinju made the JuubiKurama seemed like an ordinary wild fox sitting under its shade…
"Everything is connected to each other… the Jinchuuriki draws its power to the Bijuu… the Bijuu empowers the Ten-Tails… the Ten-Tails thus nourish the Shinju…" Hagoromo said to Naruto, the Juubi Kurama and the rest of the Bijuus. "Ashura's powers were created from bonds. Indra's power was acquired thru sheer self-growth. And with all of these within you, you became the appropriate vessel of my power… the power of the Six Paths…"
"I still don't know if I really deserve this much power…" Naruto said seriously towards the old man.
"You seemed to have something that attracts people to you. Now I can finally understand why my power chose to manifest within you." Hagoromo smiled towards his young descendant. "Naruto… let me ask you… and I want your honest opinion. What do you want to do, and what will you do once everything is over…?"
Naruto gave a big, confident smile towards the Rikudo Sennin. He knew all along what he needs to do… since that's what he's been always doing from the very beginning…
"True… I'm quite oblivious and there are a lot of things that I still don't understand… But all I ever wanted, ever since I became a Shinobi of the Leaf up to this point forward on this new world, is to acquire appropriate power to protect those who are important for me… my important friends and comrades…"
"Is that your answer?"
"Yes." The Shinobi nodded in a firm, determined expression.
"I see." Hagoromo once again smiled, this time in satisfaction from Naruto's answer. "In the past, I distributed Chakra for the sole purpose of everyone to be able to understand each. But it backfired horribly, making that Chakra as tools of war. That was the cause of all these conflicts up till now. But you, my successor, even before awakening my power, you managed to unite the feelings of everyone during the darkest history of the Shinobi World thru your Chakra. Everyone started to understand each other's feelings, and this might lead for a better future of our home world…"
"…the mess of the predecessor was fixed by its successor without relying that much on the same power…"
"…And now that you'll acquire much greater power than that of mine, I can be rest assured that you'll use those powers properly… and you'll not become like mother who got consumed by her quest for greater power. That's why from now on, I'll entrust you with my power, and let you decide what you want to do…"
Naruto felt flattered after hearing the trust from the God of Shinobi. However, at the same time, he felt sad for Kaguya for whatever reason after hearing how Hagoromo viewed his mother… he then also remembered the darkness within Kaguya's heart after seeing a part of her memories during their earlier clashes…
"…!" Naruto then realized something while thinking along those lines…
The darkness within Kaguya's heart… thus, was resulting on her negative emotions… that can become the fuel and source of power of the Weiss…
Then, everything that he knew about Kaguya flashed on his mind…
'Raizen old man… said that Kaguya-old hag was once a peace-loving Goddess despite having overwhelming power… however, something happened that made her become a violent being that forced the alliance of Makai and Reikai to vanish her thru the reality Dimension Rift… But according to that story, Kaguya was being targeted by Old Hell even before the Almage Machina War happened… and everyone still is in the dark regarding for whatever reason…'
"You seemed to be deep in thought." Hagoromo asked in curiosity. Naruto was about to say something, but Hagoromo's shakujo floated and found its way to the Old man's right hand. "Uzumaki Naruto, now is the time for you to learn and master the power of all the Bijuus… while I'll educate you on how to use the power of the Six Paths and pass down my full power to you and become a part of your power, like what happened to Indra's and Ashura's power."
"Wait a sec! You mean, aside from Kurama and the others' powers, you will also train me and pass down your powers to me as well?!" Naruto complained violently towards the Sager of the Six Paths. After all, he can feel that his Chakra reserves were once again adjusting, or literally, growing in enormous rate even with just the Chakra and Indra and Ashura melding with his'. And now that the Bijuus and the Six Paths old man's power will also become a part of his own power, then he can't even imagine how powerful he might become after all of this…
"That's right. But don't take this the other way, Naruto." The Sage of the Six Paths said seriously. "I'm entrusting you all my power not only because you were capable to making a difference, and you will not use that power as mere a tool for yourself. But after seeing how everything are turning out on this world where you currently are, I believe that you will need all these power for you to protect those people that you want to protect. Because something beyond your own imagination was about to unfold… and I'm afraid that even the awakened power of the Six Paths won't help you and your allies once that something happened…"
"…gulp." Naruto exaggeratedly gestured after hearing Hagoromo's words.
"Those were also the reason why I agreed to revive all the Bijuus using the Creation of All Things. Because if my own assumption was right, then you need to become as powerful as you can get and face everything that those Weiss might throw against you head-on." Juubi Kurama muttered while the other Bijuus somehow gestured that they also believed the same as that of the Juubi.
"I see. And I'm afraid that what's happening in the outside world right now will become the trigger of it. That's why let's get on with this, old man of the Six Paths, everyone." Naruto said in determined tone towards Hagoromo and the Bijuus…
"Alright… my successor, Uzumaki Naruto… behold… the awakening of your true power…" The Sage of the Six Paths said in an eerie, mysterious tone…
-Scene Change-
Naruto's Memory Plane…
"The Kyuubi Boy… helped on defeating Zabuza?"
"Impossible… the Fox brat not only reached the Chuunin Exam Finals… but he also beat a Hyuuga?"
"According to Intel, Uzumaki Naruto, the Kyuubi kid, defeated Suna's Jinchuuriki to protect the Village?"
"According to Godaime, he accepted being a Hokage because of Jiraiya-sama and Naruto! Just how can we express gratitude for them…?"
"Naruto and his team failed to retrieve Uchiha Sasuke from going to Orochimaru. In the end, the Uchiha became more of a threat than the Kyuubi… no, Naruto… can't even be called as a threat to begin with after everything that he had done for the Village."
"According to the Intel that was gathered by Jiraiya-sama, the Jinchuuriki were being gathered by the Akatsuki… Even with Jiraiya-sama protecting Naruto, will he be really alright?"
"After training with Jiraiya-sama and returning to the Village, Naruto went and rescued the Suna's Kazekage from Akatsuki's grasp! With what he had done, he just repaired the damaged political relation between the Leaf and the Sand! He's becoming a more capable Shinobi than we should…"
"Naruto defeated the Akatsuki who killed Azuma. He showed a ray of hope to us while the Village was mourning due to the death of one of our Elite Jounins. The next generation of Shinobi will definitely become a proper successor of the burning Will of Fire…"
"Impossible?! Jiraiya-sama was killed by Akatsuki! What will happen to Naruto now with the Akatsuki now aiming right after him!?"
"We don't need to worry. Naruto inherited Jiraiya-sama's will. He's not the type of person who will just give up! I'm sure Jiraiya-sama entrusted his will to Naruto so his will can continuously protect us thru Naruto's will…"
"'I believe that an era will come when people can truly understand each other… I'll try looking for answer regarding that… And if I can't find the answer, then I'm leaving the task to you.' That's what Ero-sennin had told me. He entrusted me with his dreams… So I'm going to trust what he believed in…
…that's why I won't kill you…"
"You will believe in Jiraiya-sensei's ideals? Are you telling us just to sit around and wait for a kid like you to bring world peace in silver platter? Go to Hell! Do you really think that I could put my faith on Jiraiya's words right now even after everything that happened?"
"There is no such thing as peace! And there will never be as long as we continue living on this accursed world!"
"Then, I will lift the curse. If there is such a thing called peace exists, then I'll grab a hold of it and never let it go! I will never give up!"… "Those were the very words that you uttered that inspired Jiraiya-sensei to write this novel… and the main character of that novel… is Naruto!"
"My name is one of the gifts that Ero-sennin, my godfather, had given me! That's why I'll continue moving forward… and become a Hokage! And once I become one, then I'll bring peace to Amegakure along with other small countries as well!"
"Then… I will try putting my faith in you… Uzumaki Naruto…"
"You made it!", "We knew you could do it…!", "You're our hero, Naruto!", "Welcome home! Thank you for defeating Pain and saving Konoha!"
"Everyone… All of them, was waiting for you, Naruto." Kakashi muttered as he let the weakened Naruto down from his back after his long battle against Pain. The Copy Ninja then remembered Naruto's dream when they are just introducing themselves for the first time…
'My dream… is to become a Hokage… one that will surpass all the other Hokage! That way, everyone in the Village will acknowledge me!'
"Even before you become a Hokage, you already did it… Naruto…" Kakashi smiled proudly towards his student.
Two former friends dashed towards each other… One was filled with hatred after learning the truth about Itachi… and the other one who was continuously trying to save him…
'It's funny, Sasuke… you and I could've easily… been standing on each other's shoes right now…' The whiskered boy, now a young man, spoke towards his best friend. 'You know why everyone hated me when I was a kid. It was because I have the Kyuubi sealed within me. I also hated them a lot… to the point that I also wanted to get revenge on them…'
'…One wrong step… and I might have also ended up on the same shoes as of you right now, Sasuke…'
'During those times, I never thought that I'd have a real bond with anyone. Not until Iruka-sensei acknowledged me… after I met you and Team 7 was formed. I knew that you were always alone… And it felt better knowing that someone out there was like me. I wanted to hang-out with you. But I couldn't… I was jealous of how skilled you are… so that's why instead, I treated you as my rival, Sasuke. I want to chase after you…'
'I started with nothing… but with Team 7, I finally made real bonds with friends… That's why I kept on chasing you. I wanted to be as strong and as cool like you. I'm really glad, that I met you, Sasuke…'
'Naruto… It's too late. Nothing that you will say right now can change me. I'm going to destroy the Village and kill everyone in it… including you! So you need to make a choice… Either kill me and become a Hero… or become part of the long list that I will kill with my hands!'
'I'm not gonna be murdered by you, and I won't dream of becoming a Hero if it was meant to kill you!' The whiskered young man said in determined expression. 'If you really will attack Konoha, then our fight will be inevitable. So keep your hatred in Konoha and aimed it against me. If you want to destroy Konoha, release all your hatred to me first at full force. I'm the only one who can bear the full blunt of your hatred! I'll deal with your hatred… and we'll die together!'
'What the hell is wrong with you?! Why do you care so much about me?!'
'Because we're friends…' He smiled in a resolute tone. 'Because if we die together… then we'll no longer be burdened of you being an Uchiha or me being a Jinchuuriki. That's why I know that we can understand one another… in the next world…'
"I don't want us to understand one another… And I'll not gonna die. You will."
"Then you won't destroy Konoha unless you kill me first."
'You know… Nine-Tails… I hope that one day, I can do something about all the hate that you were carrying inside you.' The whiskered-boy smiled towards the Kyuubi that was inside him. 'Both of us have already been through hell due to that emotion called hatred. And it will suck if we don't try to understand each other's feelings and hatred…'
'You brat…! I'm the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox! I'm a living mass of malevolence! I won't fall to influence of some brat like you!'
'No worries! I'm not a brat anymore! So I think it's worth a shot.'
'Being Jinchuuriki since birth, I believe that you can understand how miserable and worthless this world had become…' The masked man who introduced himself as Tobi said.
'Idiot. Having a Bijuu inside me… isn't really that bad.' The whiskered-boy replied in serious expression, surprising even the Kyuubi within him…
"Naruto… I've been watching everything that you've done so far… so you should know yourself. No matter what you say to me, to us Tailed Beasts, it's meaningless! Your true intentions won't reach us…!" The Kyuubi muttered while seeing how the whiskered-boy tried to help the Four-Tails. "That's why if you really want your true feelings to reach us… then do what you have always done…!"
"…Prove it with your actions! That's who you are!"
"Sorry, but this guy doesn't match what you're saying." Kurama said towards Tobi. The whiskered-boy and Kurama were now fighting together against the mask man… "The 4th Hokage left me to him… so the two of us can become comrades and use our combined power to take you down! This brat won't be defeated by you! We won't fail…!"
The whiskered-boy smirked towards Kurama as the two of them charged towards Tobi…
"I'm no trash and I won't become a trash…! I definitely won't let you… kill my comrades…!"
"'I definitely won't let you kill my comrades…?' you said?" Obito said in a dark tone. "Then look around you! Try uttering those words again!" Obito yelled in sarcasm. After all, the Juubi was now reincarnated and have killed thousands of Shinobi around the blonde Jinchuuriki, all of them protecting him against Obito and Madara. "I can't hear you! The realization of this moment should hit you like a ton of bricks as your comrades' corpse continued to pile up… all for the sake of protecting you!"
The blonde Shinobi started to tremble, especially after seeing the dead body of one of his closest comrade, Hyuuga Neji, in his arms. The Hyuuga tried to protect him at the cost of his life…
"Let me ask you, Naruto, what's there left in this reality for you? You have neither a mother nor a father. Even your godfather Jiraiya left you. Your friends and comrades continued to die one by one. Once it was all said and done, even yourself can't even acknowledge your own existence after seeing all your friends dying protecting you! In the end, the one thing that you were trying to reach for will be the end of your path… and it will be nothing but loneliness! That's why don't prolong your suffering, Naruto! Join us… and we'll change the world into a batter place…" Obito extended his hand.
Naruto's psyche continued to collapse… his unwavering determination started to shook… the very comrades that he wanted to protect, were dying for the sake of protecting him. He doesn't want this to happen… He can't allow this to happen…
However, a slap from the girl, Hinata Hyuuga brought him back to his senses…
"Naruto-kun… your life isn't just your own anymore…" Hinata said… her body also trembling due to shock and loneliness for the death of her cousin. But she can't let her emotions get the best of her. Because her most important person was also having her own difficulties after seeing his comrades drop one by one during the war… "…your ideals… your words… the desire to save every one of your comrades, all of those were worth fighting for. What inspired Neji-niisan to get this far, were those very principles that you taught him…"
"…But it's not only you, Naruto-kun… Everyone of us here has come to believe in those very words… that's why it wasn't only you who is fighting to protect your comrades. All of us were also fighting to protect each other, to protect you… because all of us are comrades… That's why we are a family. If you give up right now, then all the sacrifices that we had will going to be in vain… Because once you go back against those principles of yours, that's the time when you will truly betray your comrades…"
"…That's why now is the time for us to stand together… Naruto-kun. Moving forward with your head high without taking your words back… Those were also my own Nindo, just like yours…"
Naruto looked towards the strong but gentle girl right in front of him. It was always like this even during the past. Each time that she struggled, this girl will always be the one to comfort him... back before his match against Neji… while being cornered during his fight against Pain… and now against Madara and Obito… She knows how to comfort and support him… That's why he can feel the warmth that he had never felt before just by looking at her eyes right now…
"Hinata… as always… thanks a bunch…" Naruto slowly stood up while holding Hinata's hands… "It's because you've been by my side this entire time." Naruto then transformed into Humanoid Bijuu Mode. "Let's fight together, and don't leave by my side, Hinata."
The 4th Great Shinobi World War continued for worse with the odds clearly against the Shinobi Alliance' favor even with the arrival of the previous generation Hokages. And it was all due to Uchiha Obito absorbing the entirety of the Ten-Tails within him. And with new-found powers, Obito recreated the Shinju to complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
However, Naruto was able to stop Obito from completing the Infinite Tsukuyomi by ripping away the power of the Bijuus within the Uchiha. It was then that Uchiha Madara realized that he needs to take the stage from Obito, making himself the Jinchuuriki of the power of the Shinju. Naruto faced Madara in a battle of planetary scale that even created an Emperor Ring. One was fighting to destroy everything, the other one fighting to protect everything…
But in the end, Naruto was able to beat Madara and rip out the Shinju's power away from his body. Madara, as prideful as he is, cannot simply just accept beaing defeated by a brat, so he prepared a suicidal jutsu to take down all of them along with him. Naruto, without any second thoughts, then used a Fuinjutsu to vanish Madara once and for all before he could execute his suicidal jutsu… but the cost of the Fuinjutsu was Naruto's own existence…
And during his tearful goodbye with his close comrades and friends, the previous generation Hokages then declared to the world… that Naruto was the Rokudaime Hokage of Konohagakure… making the young Shinobi fulfill his dreams even at the last moment before his existence completely vanish on his home world…
-Scene Change-
Yusuke continued to dash in blinding speed, entrusting his fellow Kings to stall the Nifheim Generals from chasing him after entering the Gate of the Daimakaicho's Castle. Several powerful Weiss attempted to stop him, but he simply blitz them away to oblivion without exerting that much effort. After all, all that he needs to do is to reconfigure Nidheig…
Wait a sec…
"Crap!" Yusuke stopped after reaching the massive door that symbolizes the entrance of the Daimakaicho's throne room where the Nidheig was supposed to be active. After all, he forgot the most important detail that he should have realized sooner. "How the hell am I gonna reconfigure something like that?! Yoko should be the one who entered here!"
However, Yusuke's thoughts were halted by a suffocating amount of Reiatsu that was being charged inside the Daimakaicho's Throne Room…
Suddenly…
"GETSUGA TENSHOU…!" A massive, powerful attack created from the combined power of highly condensed Reiatsu and pressurized slashing wind cleanly slashed the door of the Daimakaicho's Throne Room.
"…!" Yusuke immediately equipped his hands with his own S-Class Reiki to literally grab the incoming crescent slashing wave with bare hands. But the force of the Getsuga Tenshou still pushed him backwards. Implanting his both feet on the floor, Yusuke braced himself and with a mighty yell, broke the slashing attack in two… sending the now separated wind slash in both sides that chunked a huge part of both sides of the Daimakaicho's Castle…
Feeling the pain on his slightly burned hands, Yusuke glared towards the person responsible for the sudden attack. The dust and rubbles from the impact then slowly disappeared, displaying a man wearing black, samurai-style attire with one small, black sword on his left hand. And with another massive sword still sheathed behind the black-clad samurai, Yusuke realized that the massive attack that he blocked earlier was produced by the smaller sword, enough for him to understand that the black-clad samurai's last attack was nothing more than a mere greeting for his arrival.
"Welcome, one of the current Makai Kings, Yurameshi Yusuke…" the person that attacked Yusuke spoke with confidence all over his face. His skin's complexion was pure white, similar to the Nifheim Arrancars, contrasting his spiky, dark orange-colored hair.
"So I bet you're that mysterious final Nifheim General…" Yusuke said, preparing for battle. He then saw the ethereal figure of the frozen Daimakaicho near the elegant throne, and behind her frozen figure was the massive, complex structure that governed over the balance of darkness within the equilibrium… the Nidheig…
"That's right…" The man spoke as he slowly walked towards Yusuke. "…I am the Supreme General of Nifheim… and just like you, a person who used to be an ordinary human… The name is Kurosaki Ichigo."
"Kurosaki Ichigo…" Yusuke repeated the General's name. "…as if I care whatever your name is. If you'll going to be in my way, then you better give it your all. Because I won't hold back from kicking butts of those who are getting in my way."
"The way you spoke was eerily similar to Renji's…" Ichigo replied with somewhat nostalgic smile. And with a sigh, he started channeling huge amounts of Reiatsu that could easily suffocate those beings that possess even high A-Class level Reiki… "…but regardless, the past is the past now. Small sentimental memories like that only fuel my desire to do what I need to do."
"Hmm… if what you told me was the truth, then I can say that you're just like Sensui…" Yusuke said as he also started walking forward towards Ichigo, now releasing powerful amounts of his S-Class Reiki. After all, Yusuke can feel a heavy regret from the words of this guy in front him after saying those words. Because just like ShinobuSensui who lost his faith on humanity that he once swore to protect, this Ichigo was now fighting against humanity despite him being a human from the past based on his own words.
"So what now? Does our meeting just became a contest on who have the closest resemblance among us to our old pals?" Ichigo then channeled a huge amount of Reiatsu on his small sword, then swung it violently on the side of the castle. The pressurized wind blade created by that single swing carved a massive trench with several meters wide and seemingly bottomless depth. "You're the kind of person who loves fighting, but you're a lot stronger once you were fighting to protect those who are important for you. That's why you have yet to experience the feeling of losing something dear for you…"
"And what are you pointing out right now?" Yusuke said, as something among those lines from the General made him snap some of his inner rage.
"You're just continuously saying that you can protect everything because you haven't lost anything yet. That's what I mean." Ichigo replied with a taunting smirk. "That's the reason itself why I gave up being a human."
"Then don't try relating yourself to me. If you gave up being a human you lost everything, then I gave up being a human for me to not lose anything." Yusuke replied sternly.
"Interesting. Then we really are just the same…" Ichigo smirked darkly. "As long as you continue walking that path, there'll be no doubt that you'll end up just like me…"
"The diarrhea in your mouth makes me sick!" Yusuke yelled while flaring his Reiki. The Reiatsu and Reiki collided, shaking the entire Castle…
"Then looking at you makes me feel sick!" Ichigo said as their aura's continued to fight for dominance. And due to the collision of their power, they meld together into one bright light, forming a pillar that pierced the roof of the Castle. The pillar of light continued to soar up above the atmosphere of Nifheim, dividing the clouds several kilometers in radius…
"That's it. If you're so adamant on standing against my way, then I'll personally create your own grave!" Yusuke dashed towards Ichigo.
"Wrong! I will let you dig your own grave!" Ichigo yelled with malicious smirk, just like how his Inner Hollow used to do.
The Reiki-clad fist and the Reiatsu-charged small sword clashed in dominance, shaking the entire region…
The battle between the former Spirit Detective of Reikai and the former Substitute Shinigami of Seiretei finally commenced…
-Scene Change-
Naruto had his eyes close while feeling all the powers that he acquired while training with The Sage of the Six Paths and the Bijuus in an unknown length of time. He can feel that his base Chakra's reserves once again grew to accommodate the massive Chakra and power that he acquired from the Tailed Beasts and Hagoromo Otsutsuki. The power he already had was beyond anything that he could imagine… as he can feel that his body was now transcending beyond mortal comprehension…
He then looked towards his left and right palm. His right palm had a circular marking that symbolized the Yang power of Hagoromo, while his left hand had dark, crescent-shaped marking that symbolized the Yin power of the old man. He can sense within his body that the Sage of the Six Paths power was melding with his now own, awakened Six Paths Chakra and Six Paths Senjutsu.
He then looked towards the Bijuus around him… from Ichibi Shukaku to Juubi Kurama… and all of them also had their power increased since the Six Paths power were also melded with their own Bijuu Chakra, which were also now melded with Naruto's own Six Paths Chakra.
Naruto also looked at the Shinju, and much to his surprise, the gargantuan tree once again grew bigger with sprouting new tree branches. Its majestic appearance captivated the Nidaime Rikudo. But its size and appearance wasn't the only thing that changed on the God Tree, but also the life force and Chakra on each inch of its physical form that was giving him another source of power aside from his already enormous amounts of power.
"The succession of my power has finally been complete… Before, you are just a human with god-like powers. But now, you are literally a human with the powers of a god. Though, I still am wondering if the term 'human' can still be applied into you, Naruto." The Sage of the Six Paths spoke with all the Bijuus behind him.
"I don't know what I should feel after hearing your words, but I think I'll just take it as a compliment." Naruto smiled towards the Sage of the Six Paths.
The Sage of the Six Paths smiled upon seeing how Naruto seemed to have matured as he ascended from a Shinobi to a Sage. Even if his naivety over simple things still remains, it doesn't change the fact that this young man understood other people's pain due to his own past experiences and battles. He began with nothing and also lost a lot while trying to achieve his dream. However, he became a legend that can easily surpass the Sage of the Six Paths himself… that's why the Hagoromo can be rest assured that he entrusted the right person with all these powers…
"You have already inherited my power, will and legacy. Now… I believe it is time for you to transcend and awaken your power as an Otsutsuki…" Hagoromo said as he stretched his shakujo towards Naruto.
"Wait a sec. You mean you will change my physical DNA from an Uzumaki to Otsutsuki?" Naruto said neutrally. "Not to disrespect, old man, but I don't like the idea. Being an Uzumaki is my pride and one of the few inheritances that I have from my Mom. So I can't agree with you this time."
"Hmmm… You really are a very sentimental person, really like Ashura."Hagoromo sighed exaggeratedly. "But awakening the power of Otsutsuki won't change the fact that you're an Uzumaki. All the Shinobi Clans came from Otsutsuki. So Uzumakis were all direct descendants of the Otsutsuki."
"Hmmm…. You're right. I didn't think that much." Naruto mumbled. "So I'll still be an Uzumaki, and all my physical parameters won't change?"
"That's right. Awakening the power of the Otsutsuki within you will increase your physical parameters to top notch. After all, the Otsutsuki Chakra and life force can easily surpass that of the Bijuus. And you'll also have the unique properties of being able to passively and potentially use the techniques from other Shinobi Clans if you'll ever want to train and learn them."
"I see. But most jutsus from other clans won't fit my fighting style so I'll refrain from doing that as much as possible. The passive effects of Otsutsuki Clans powers are more than enough for me –ttebayo." Naruto replied, accepting that he needs the power of the Otsutsuki Clan. "How should we start awakening the power of the Otsutsuki Clan within me?"
"We will need Hamura's power." Hagoromo said, still with his Shakujo's ringed end still pointing towards Naruto. The old Sage then looked towards his left palm. And in that instance... a very potent, cyan colored Chakra and life force appeared in a form of a burning orb…
"Hamura… you mean your brother?" Naruto replied. "And that orb… was his sealed power that he entrusted to you before he left to guard the Shinobi World's moon?"
"That's right. This orb is the entirety of Hamura's power. Just like what I've told you before, both of us inherited equal powers from Mother and fought against the Colossal Juubi. In this orb sealed all his powers, including his own Six Paths Chakra, Doujutsu and the other half of the Colossal Juubi's Chakra."
Hagoromo then made the glowing orb float towards the tip of his Shakujo. He then used the Creation of All Things, making the glowing orb shine brightly. And after the bright light faded, the orb became a Chakra entity in a form of a man with long, silver hair, Byakugan eyes, ten Gudou Dama behind him and overwhelming Chakra that could at least rival the power of the Sage of the Six Paths…
"It's been a while, Nii-sama." Hamura said in neutral expression towards Hagoromo. Hagoromo simply replied with a wordless smile.
Hamura then looked towards Naruto with visible curiosity on from his White Eyes…
"And this is… the Child of Prophecy… the one you entrusted your powers with… Uzumaki Naruto…"
Naruto bowed his head towards the ghost-like entity.
"Yeah…" Naruto felt a shiver within him. Indeed, Hamura really acquired equal power to the Sage of the Six Paths… However, something between them is quite… different…
"Of course, we're different…" Hamura replied much to Naruto's surprise. "Even if both of us inherited equivalent powers from Mother, our powers governed different planes, making us more of beings that represent the balance of the Shinobi World."
"What do you mean by that…?"
"Nii-sama's Rinnegan ruled over Creation and Destruction... while my Tenseigan governed over Reincarnation and Extinction…"Hamura explained in his most accurate way possible. "Nii-sama inherited Mother's own power, while I inherited Mother's power that she acquired after consuming the Chakra Fruit."
"So to summarize, after Kaguya-baachan consumed the Chakra Fruit, not only that her own Seikouki powers evolved into Six Paths Chakra, but she also became the Jinchuuriki of the Chakra Fruit's power… so Kaguya-baachan's own power became that of Rikudo old man, while you acquire the power of the Chakra Fruit as your own power?" Naruto asked with difficult expression. Hagoromo and Hamura simply replied with a nod while the Bijuus behind the Six Paths brothers lightly chuckled.
"That's right. And just like what Nii-sama had told you before, I left my power to him so he can entrust it to the appropriate successor once the Juubi was reawakened. But you were able to stop the Juubi with your own power while reuniting the war-torn world in the process. You even befriend the Bijuus and the Juubi that made them trust you, allowing themselves to become parts of your own power." Hamura smiled lightly towards Naruto. "But now, you are caught in a situation with entirely difficult premise than what happened from the Shinobi World. That's why with you acquiring my own power from Nii-sama will be just fair after everything you've been through."
"Wow… I can't believe I'm getting all these power-ups for free…" Naruto dead-panned.
"It wasn't free. You earned it after everything you've been through."Hagoromo said towards Naruto.
"That's why we need to get over this as soon as possible." Hamura replied in a mild tone but serious expression. "First things first…" Hamura activated his Byakugan eyes. "You already knew about this, but this is the Byakugan, the All-Seeing White Eye. You've already fought a descendant of mine with the same eyes, but my Byakugan was quite different that his… after all…" Hamura grabbed one of his Gudou Dama and transformed it into his own Shakujo. "…like brother who have inherited Mother's power, I can also use Six Paths Sage Mode. So my Byakugan's abilities were further enhanced by the power of the Six Paths."
"Wait a sec…!" Naruto pull out both his palm in complaining gesture. "I already awakened my own Sharingan that I can activate on my own whim! How can I inherit the Byakugan if that's the case?"
"Don't sweat about the small details. You'll understand that both eyes can work within you perfectly at the same time once we get this down the road."Hamura sternly said towards Naruto. "Let me pick up from where I left off and continue listening before you complain. Byakugan and Sharingan have rivaling strengths. When I say rivaling strength, I meant it that much, including its higher forms…"
Hamura's Byakugan then transformed into a doujutsu with bluish-colored, flower-patterned design. Naruto also felt a sudden increase in Chakra reserves from an already Six Paths Sage Mode Hamura…
"These are the eyes that rival the power of Eternal MangekyouSharingan… the Tenseigan."Hamura muttered towards Naruto. "These eyes had all the powers and abilities of Byakugan, but in a heightened state. But as you can feel, unlike the Sharingan that gave additional specific eye techniques on its wielder, the Tenseigan is more of an amplifier like that of Ashura's and Bijuu's Chakra."
"I see…" Naruto muttered, remembering the eye transformation of Kaguya during their battle.
Hamura once again activated more power on his current transformed eyes. This made him became clad with Chakra Cloak similar to the former Kyuubi Chakra Mode, albeit cyan-colored. Naruto looked in awe towards the transformation, as he can feel that Hamura's Chakra once again bloomed beyond imagination. This form also gave Hamura additional Gudou Dama behind him…
"Tenseigan Chakra Mode… I believe you have already seen this form… since Mother was currently on this heightened form while battling against her." Hamura said while looking towards Naruto. "A form that rivals the power of Rinnegan, this form allows me to acquire power that equally rivals the power of Six Paths Sage Mode. And to top that, since the Six Paths Sage Mode and Tenseigan Chakra Mode meld with each other on my body, I can create multiple, or I can say, unlimited amounts Gudou Dama on my own whim just like how Mother was able to do so…"
"Unlimited Gudou Dama…?! That alone was already quite a cheat!" Naruto cannot help but complain after learning the scope of Hamura's power.
"The Rinnegan gave the user power to rival a Six Paths Sage Mode user. The Tenseigan user rivals the power of the Rinnegan wielder. The Tenseigan also can rival the power of Six Paths Sage Mode user. I have Six Paths Sage Mode and Rinnegan. I have already passed down all that power to you." Hagoromo narrated. "Hamura has Six Paths Sage Mode and Tenseigan. And you're also about to inherit all his powers and abilities. And with Indra and Ashura's power, along with your own transcended power, you now had appropriate power to fight properly against Mother."
"Not only that, Nii-sama. Both of us are born with passive ability to use Six Paths Sage Mode and our eye powers. As you have entrusted this kid with the power of the Bijuus, I too have yet to entrust him the power of the Chakra Fruit within me. And we still have yet to pass down to him… the power of the Colossal Juubi that we divided and sealed within our own bodies aside from all those powers." Hamura said towards his brother…
"Whoa whoa whoa…!"Naruto trembled on his own comically. "I can't keep up with you guys anymore! Just how many things do you need to pass down to me?!"
"Like what we have said, you reap what you sow... But in your side, it's more of positive than negative. Because you'll not only just inherit all our powers. You'll also free us from the curse of being bind from the past... starting from us being created by Mother up to the point where we sealed her and became guardians to ensure that she won't revive again. You'll be the one who will stop her… as our own successor." Hagoromo said."Like what happened to Ashura and Indra, after you have inherited all our powers, our Chakra will meld within you as part of your own and our soul will depart to the Pure World… where we can rest like any other dead people should be…"
Naruto felt sadness after hearing those words. Hagoromo and Hamura were trapped between the eternal cycle of life and death. They existed beyond mortal plane to protect the Shinobi World on their own way. That's why they entrusted him with such powers… because they knew that he won't end up using those powers in the path towards darkness and will protect the world on his own way, just like them…
And what made him more sad, is that the being that they were being wary about for unknown number of century, was the beast transformation of their Mother after absorbing the Shinju… the Colossal Juubi… Something happened between Kaguya, Hagoromo and Hamura… something that twisted their paths that made them lose their trust to their Mother…
Just what the hell really did happen to Kaguya?! Is there anything that he can do to change all these…?
"Hagoromo-old man… Hamura-jiisan…" Naruto looked towards the Six Paths brothers seriously with all the Bijuus listening to him intently. "Kaguya-baachan used to be a peace-loving Goddess… but eventually became an evil being as incarnation of the Colossal Juubi after realizing that both of you inherited her powers… That's how you understood her, am I right?"
"That's right. Why did you ask?" Hamura said in deep monotone.
"Well… you guys believed that she was aiming against the two of you to acquire her Chakra, thinking that she should be the only one who possesses Chakra. That's your side of the story, am I right?" Naruto once again asked.
The Six Paths brother once again nodded, trying to figure out what this kid was pointing out.
"I see… then… have you ever tried to listen to her side of the story?" Naruto asked with a small, understanding smile. These made Hagoromo and Hamura somewhat feel confused. "Not to disrespect, I know you guys are just trying to protect the world since who knows when… and the Shinobi World became as it is because of the two of you… but I just can't help thinking about why did Kaguya-baachan became an evil being from her kind-hearted personality before."
"So you're thinking that we should have tried to understand her first even if she was attempting to kill the two of us?" Hamura asked in a stern voice."Did she ever try to understand us… as her sons… instead of just yelling about 'All Chakra belongs to me' all the time?"
"So you chose not to try understanding her because she doesn't try to understand the two of you?" Naruto said in a serious tone. "Then, that may be the reason why the Shinobi World ended up being a war-torn world."
"How come...?" Hagoromo said in interest, unlike Hamura who was now almost glaring towards Naruto.
"Everyone thinks that they should be understood by othersfirst without even thinking of understanding what other people feel. That will lead to misunderstanding… that will further leads to conflict… just like what happened between the two of you and Kaguya-baachan… She might not have tried to understand you… that lead you guys not to try understanding her. That's why… it all ends up on hatred… doesn't it?"
"You're talking like an old man despite the fact that you're talking to us who existed beyond mortal plane for now unknown amount of time." Hamura said, now in a milder tone. He was quite surprised after hearing their successor say something like this towards them…
"Yeah."Naruto replied, because he can easily relate to what he's talking to. After all, he continuously tried to understand UchihaSasuke as a friend despite all the evil things that he had done. Even with his disappearance from the Shinobi World, he still is wondering what path Sasuke took after the 4thShinobi World War. "Unless we try to give way for others and tried to understand them, we can never remove the system of conflict not only from the Shinobi World, but from every world in existence… because I believe that once we try to understand someone will make that someone realize our own feelings. That's just how simple it is…"
Hagoromo and Hamura looked towards Naruto in surprise painted on their faces. They are his masters, his predecessors… but those words literally made the student become a teacher to his masters.
"Being able to understand the pain of others… while also trying to see even the tiniest silver lining on every situation…" Hagoromo said with an acknowledgement smile. "You really are something else. You have something that was far more important than any other power that you have and you will further acquire… and that is your heart…"
"Now, I can be rest assured that our powers will be inherited by the right successor." Hamura said with a small smile. "You can see something that even me and my brother weren't able to see…. Even believing that Mother had her own reasons why she did become an evil person…"
"…That's why just like on how brother started to believe in you, I'll also put my faith into you… Uzumaki Naruto."
"I don't want to be all talk. I want to know what really happened to Kaguya-baachan. That's why, I'll need your powers to beat her and realize her true feelings."
"That's right. Because if it's you, then it's worth a shot." Juubi Kurama spoke in behalf of the other Bijuus.
Hagoromo, Hamura, Juubi Kurama and the rest of the Bijuu then looked towards Naruto while the Shinobi simply smiled confidently towards them. The young Hokage believes on what he can do. The Chakra gods and entities cannot help but put their utmost trust on this young man after seeing that unwavering expression…
"Let's begin then… and become a Sage with appropriate power to stop Mother… and surpass her as a Chakra Goddess…" Hamura said in stoic tone as he released his Chakra along with Hagoromo.
Naruto then sat in meditating position with both his hands stretched forward. Hagoromo and Hamura then also sat in meditating position, stretched their right and left hand respectively while forming a fist, and fist-bumped with Naruto's stretched fists. The Six Path brothers then also fist-bumped on each other, creating a three-way fist bump. Naruto, Hagoromo and Hamura then released their Chakra at the same time while the Bijuus surround them and meditated on their own physical way while surrounding the Six Paths trio.
"Wait for me… Skuld… everyone…" Naruto muttered as he closed his eyes and began his training with the Six Paths brothers and the Bijuus…
-Scene Change-
"Ufufufufu…" Lune smirked as malicious as it always be after seeing how everything was proceeding by far… After all, not only that she was monitoring the growth of the now devilish figure created from Otsutsuki Kaguya's life force, but she was also monitoring how everything was happening during the execution of Operation Ragnarok…
The battle between the Gods of the 7th Universe and the Demon Lords of Nifheim…
The Saiyan duo and Valkyrie duo against the army of Weiss…
The other Saiyan against the Nightmare God Yubel…
The clash between the Makai Kings and the Nifheim Generals…
The battle between Yurameshi Yusuke and Shirosaki Ichigo…
And the Goddesses using their powers to revive the fallen Chosen Child…
"I know my plan almost failed due to the interference of the Chosen Child… that's why I never expected that everything will going to proceed as it is right now…" Lune smirked while looking towards the holographic monitor fueled by Demonic Energy. "…not only that this Kaguya clone was revived and was now feeding negative energies to reacquire her godly powers like before, but all these battles and events were being used as knowledge and intelligence source of her revival… The last configuration that I input on Nidheig really was working well for our side right now…"
After all, before Lune left Nidheig after using the Recall Notice of Valhala, she input another strange configuration after leaving the Daimakaicho's Castle (happened near the end of Chapter 29) in her attempt to complete Vintage's plan. And that configuration itself allowed Nidheig to collect the used power and data from all these events and battles, then forcefully feed it on the now demonic-figured Kaguya clone (Similar to how MajinBuu was revived by Babidi by collecting Goku and Vegetta's power during their battle). And each of these battles were now making the demonic Kaguya clone acquire further power and knowledge even before her complete awakening…
"…and with all these… I will make sure that you'll become a perfect vessel… for the revival of the Ultimate Forbidden God…" Lune smirked darkly as she looked on the superbly complex, five-part seal… and within those five separate seal… lurks a being with power that could change the balance of all realities…
-Scene Change-
Naruto felt that his consciousness finally returned to his 'mindscape' where his thousands of Senpou: Chou Bijuu Dama Rasenshuriken were clashing against Kaguya's thousands of Gudou Dama-projected weaponries, the Treasury of the Six Paths. The clash of each one among the thousands of Six Paths Weapons and Rasenshurikens created massive, planetary explosion, each could vaporize a planet with shockwave that shook other planets around them that were present in the sand dimension. After all, each of those Senpou: Chou Bijuu Dama Rasenshuriken are far stronger than Juubi Kurama's planet-leveling Chou Bijuu Dama while each of the weapons projected by the Treasury of the Six Paths can easily rival the power of those Bijuu Dama Rasenshurikens…
The clash destroyed the entire sand planet where they are exchanging blows. While both their visions were still clouded by the bright light of the massive clash of attacks, it was then that Naruto sensed that his powers was growing beyond his own calculations as he can fee his physical parameters, Chakra reserves and other aspects within him transcending beyond that of an ordinary Sage…
'Ashura and Indra-sensei… Old man of the Six Paths and Hamura-jiisan… the power the all Bijuus… the Juubi and the Shinju's power… all their powers melding with my own awakened Six Paths Power…' Naruto muttered within him. He was still currently with all his previous power-ups prior to the Sage of the Six Paths mental intervention, including God Sage Mode and Kurama Sennin Mode. But he can feel right now… even his current self has enough power to fight evenly against Kaguya…
'Show us what you believed in regarding Mother…' Hagoromo spoke within Naruto, his presence slowly disappearing aside from his powers.
'Prove to us that mother isn't an evil being that we believed she is.' Hamura also said as he also left all his power to Naruto…
Kaguya also felt the sudden power increase within Naruto as well despite the fact that planet-shattering explosions were hindering her Tenseigan and Rinne Sharingan-enhanced field of vision…
"Even up to this point, both of you still chose to defile me… Hagoromo… Hamura…!"Kaguya gritted her teeth while muttering the name of her two 'sons'. She remembered her pasts with them… then a pained expression reflected on her delicate face along with a trace of tears running down her cheeks. 'I can never forgive the both of you…!'
"Now then…!" Naruto roared on the other hand as he tapped into the new powers that he acquired from his Six Paths heritage. His body glowed like a burning potent fire as he accessed his new found powers. He then raised his right hand in the air, and channeled potent amounts of Chakra on it. "RIKUDO SENPOU: YOUTON: RASENSHURIKEN (Six Paths Sage Art: Lava Release: Spiral Shuriken)!"
Naruto threw the Six Paths Senjutsu-enhanced Youton variant of his signature jutsu towards the massive, multiple moon-sized domes of explosions generated by the collision of Rikudo no Takaramono weaponries and thousands of Bijuu Dama Rasenshuriken. Before Naruto completed his new transformation…
"BURST…!" Naruto yelled, commanding the Lava Rasenshuriken to greatly expand its blades, thus dividing the multiple moon-sized domes of Chakra explosions cleanly in half. The 'bursting' process of the Lava Rasenshuriken, with enough potency to dissect a planet in two, continued to expand its enormous steam blades without losing its momentum towards Kaguya's direction.
Kaguya got surprised after seeing the massive lava blades approaching her in sub-relativistic speeds. She immediately discarded the thought of absorbing the incoming attacks with her Rinnegan, because even if the Lava Rasenshuriken was a Chakra-based attack that he can just easily absorb, the lava steam blades it generated is simply the effect of the jutsu, something that she cannot absorb with her powers. So she just summoned five Rasengan-sized Gudou Dama, and projected each of them as a shield in domino arrangement.
The lava steam blades collided with the first Gudou Dama shield, but easily got shattered by the force of the Rasenshuriken shockwave. The next other 3 Gudou Dama shields also meet the same fate as of the first one, being shattered to pieces. Gritting her teeth, Kaguya increased her Chakra application to the last Gudou Dama shield to protect herself from the Lava Rasenshuriken blades.
The clash between the shield and the blade once again resulted in a massive, booming explosion with enough force to send Kaguya flinging into space. Kaguya immediately braced herself to stop herself from skidding backwards. She then saw the cleared explosion between the clash of attacks. All that she saw were fragments of the sand planet of her sand dimension that were destroyed by the earlier clashes with several planetoids being cleanly sliced in two due to the lava steam blades.
Another one of her planetary dimensions was destroyed by the ensuing battle.
All that's left was herself, still in Tenseigan Chakra Mode, the planetoid where the Juubi Kurama was pinned, planetoid-sized Bucho Gudou Dama, and her descendant who just received a massive power-up to rival her Six Paths powers…
Kaguya then narrowed her eyes towards Naruto.
After all, Naruto now was donning new Chakra transformation. He still was on his Kurama Sennin Mode, God Sage Mode and all his other power-ups activated during their earlier battle. But right now, Naruto donned additional Chakra clothing resembling a haori in knee-length on top of his dark-red-colored Six Paths clothing. His face and hands was no longer clad with Chakra shroud, but now with the original complexion of his flesh. And most of all, he was equipped with new pair of eyes, and that visible made Kaguya got surprise.
Naruto's left eye was now a three-tomoe'd Sharingan, but instead of its usual red hue, Naruto's Sharingan was colored dark blue. His right eye was also donning a light-blue colored Byakugan, but without the bulging veins in the side of his right face. Kaguya can also cense the sun mark on the right palm and moon mark on his left hand, symbolizing the mastery of the blonde Shinobi's Yin and Yang powers.
And most of all, she can feel the change on Naruto's Chakra… because right now… Naruto was using the same kind of godly, potent Six Paths Chakra like that of hers…
Clearly, Naruto inherited his sons' and grandsons' powers and abilities…
"Don't be so surprised… Kaguya baa-chan…" Naruto smirked confidently towards Kaguya. Both of them levitating on an empty space after the planet where they were fighting got destroyed. "You might be the progenitor of Chakra, but that doesn't mean that you're the only who who should possess such kind of power."
"You…"
"If you say that you're the real Chakra God and all Chakra should belong to you, then I'll surpass everything about you and take you down with my own power!" Naruto said in a confident tone.
Kaguya narrowed her eyes dangerously towards Naruto. This was the first time that someone was talking to her like this… as if the two of them were equals… that's why felt something strange… something that she never felt before…
Naruto then evolved his Sharingan, skipping Mangekyou Sharingan, directly into blue-colored Rinnegan… his Byakugan then also evolved into Tenseigan, thus allowing the Tenseigan Chakra Mode to manifest on his new golden Chakra haori, changing its hue to cyan-colored one, but not affecting his dark-red colored Six Paths clothing. The two transformed eyes gave additional exponential power-up to Naruto beyond what Kaguya can imagine…
"You're thinking too highly of yourself… my young descendant… but still, you're nothing but a mere kid in front of me…" Kaguya replied in annoyed tone as she also released her mighty Six Paths Chakra…
The two Chakra Gods levitated in distance away from each other… both prepared for the final showdown between the two of them…
"Let's do this… Chakra Goddess, Otsutsuki Kaguya…" Naruto materialized his Trigon Shakujo and pointed it towards Kaguya while releasing huge amounts of Rikudo Chakra… "…Do you have enough Chakra in stock…?!"
