Satoshi's gaze turned to Naruto, who was nervously watching from not far away. "Naruto, can you discuss with Kurama and lend me some Chakra?"
He extended his finger, making a tiny gesture. "Just a little bit."
Naruto blinked, clearly bewildered by Satoshi's sudden request.
"Wait, let me ask."
"Kurama said no. He said you're an evil Uchiha brat. Who knows what you want to do?"
"Tsk, what a stingy fox." Satoshi pouted.
"Then I'll just take a little bit myself."
"Huh?"
Before he finished speaking, Satoshi's right hand was already on Naruto's back.
Inside Naruto, Kurama's roar seemed about to break through the seal.
"Evil Uchiha brat, what exactly are you doing?!"
Satoshi lightly said, "Just borrowing a little bit. Calm down, Kurama."
A surge of vibrant Chakra was forcibly extracted from Naruto's body. Through Satoshi's arm, it flowed into him.
Soon, Satoshi withdrew his right hand, not wanting to drain Kurama completely.
Kurama gnashed it's teeth in hatred, cursing Satoshi tens of thousands of times.
Then it angrily rebuked Naruto, "He asks, and you just give it to him!"
Naruto looked at Kurama, then at Satoshi. "It's just a little bit, why are you so stingy?"
"You... Argh! You're infuriating me!"
At this moment, the scene within Satoshi's internal space was breathtaking.
The Gedo Statue's shell, having gathered all the Chakra from One Tail to Nine-Tails, was infused with immense energy, as if given new life.
Gradually, the outline of a completely new life form became clear. It was a small, yet destruction-filled, Ten-Tails. However, the matter was far from over.
This newborn Ten-Tails did not settle down. It seemed to sense a higher-level calling. Its body twisted violently again, undergoing a fundamental transformation in its form. Ultimately, it miraculously shrunk, transforming into a young God tree seedling.
[Since the God tree has taken root here, the time has come. Appear, Kaguya!]
Satoshi: Don't mess with me. The plot is moving too fast.
A dazzling white light flashed, almost blinding Satoshi's newly acquired Six-Tomoe Rinnegan. The light lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating.
Next to the God tree seedling, a figure stood bewildered.
A person who looked very young, but was actually an ultra old woman over a thousand years old, Kaguya, had actually appeared in Satoshi's internal space.
"Where is this?" Kaguya looked around in confusion.
Upon seeing the thriving little sapling, she instantly lost control. She felt her weakness, and the powerful Chakra contained within the God tree.
"The Chakra Fruit is within it."
The instinctive craving for power overwhelmed everything. Kaguya lunged towards the God tree, only to be struck back by an invisible, immense force.
Immediately after, ripples appeared in the space around her body. Clear, transparent, yet indestructible water walls emerged out of thin air and quickly converged.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a crystal-clear cubic water prison, firmly confining her within.
Kaguya's eyes widened in astonishment, staring in disbelief at this cage made of pure energy.
She tried to summon her power to break through, but found her strength to be extremely weak before this water prison.
No, she had no strength left.
Just by touching it, a cursed seal climbed onto her body.
The immense sense of disparity instantly plunged her from ecstasy into an ice-cold abyss.
She had thought she had broken free from the Chibaku Tensei seal set by Hagoromo and Hamura, regaining her freedom.
It turns out she had merely been transferred from one cage to another, even more despairing one.
Tap... Tap...
Clear footsteps echoed in the silent space, sounding particularly abrupt.
Kaguya looked up, and upon seeing Satoshi's strikingly handsome face, she froze on the spot.
She asked, "Who are you? I sense a familiar Chakra presence on you."
Satoshi said, "As for who I am, why you're here, and what all of this is about... it might be a bit troublesome to explain, and you probably won't like the answer too much."
Satoshi scratched his messy white hair. After all this, I've become Kaguya's Jinchuriki?
At the very moment Kaguya descended into Satoshi's internal space, her unique Chakra fluctuations, like a giant stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirred up invisible ripples that transcended the boundaries of space and time, transmitting to certain unknown places.
In the gap between the Pure Land and the living world, a pair of Rinnegan that could see through past and future suddenly opened. Their gaze pierced through the barrier of life and death, locking onto a coordinate in the Ninja World, which was Satoshi's location.
"Alas."
A long and complex sigh echoed in the eternal silence.
Hagoromo's residual consciousness clearly detected his mother's familiar presence.
He had been incredibly worried, thinking his mother had escaped. But upon closer examination, how had she gone from being sealed on the moon to being inside Satoshi?
That seal was quite sturdy. So, what should be done next?
—
On the moon.
Toneri, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly looked up, his face filled with solemnity.
He clearly sensed the drastic changes occurring in the Ninja World: the Gedo Statue had been stolen, and a terrifying power belonging to the Ōtsutsuki, yet not originating from his lineage, was awakening.
"Someone in the Ninja World has stolen the power of the God tree and imprisoned Kaguya?" Toneri murmured, a cold glint in his eyes.
"What does he intend to do? Such blasphemy against the great power of the Ōtsutsuki will surely bring disaster to the Ninja World."
He suddenly stood up. "It seems the time has come to fulfill my ancestors' mission. I must act to purify this defiled Ninja World."
—
In a certain hidden dimension, Isshiki, residing within Jigen, subtly shifted his eyes.
Though only for an instant, he keenly caught Kaguya's Chakra, which had suddenly erupted and then vanished.
"Oh?"
"An interesting variable, that Uchiha brat named Satoshi. He seems different from the native organisms of those lower planets. To actually be able to stir Kaguya, that foolish woman's presence... How interesting."
Satoshi's existence, for the first time, truly entered Isshiki's lofty sight, becoming a variable that required slight attention.
The moon was not broken, which meant Kaguya had not forcefully broken through the seal. Instead, she might be preparing to revive through possession, just like him.
If so, that meant Satoshi was a suitable vessel for the Ōtsutsuki's reincarnation.
Isshiki at his peak was incredibly powerful, but unfortunately, he was ambushed by Kaguya. He considered this the shame of his life.
Fortunately, he managed to survive. Then, he resided within Jigen, continuing to live in the Ninja World for a thousand years, constantly working towards his goal.
All for the day he would reclaim what he had lost.
Now, the opportunity seemed to have arrived.
"Wait for my revenge, Kaguya."
—
Mount Myōboku.
The Gamamaru suddenly opened his eyes.
"This is bad!"
He suddenly shouted, instantly breaking the peaceful and serene atmosphere that had reigned on Mount Myōboku for years.
The toads rushed over. "What happened, Great Toad Sage?"
In all these years, the Great Toad Sage had rarely shown such tension.
Gamamaru said, "I just had a dream. Simply put, the Ninja World is about to face an unprecedented crisis."
Gamabunta blinked. "Isn't that little guy Satoshi in the Ninja World? Although I don't like him very much, his strength is already unrivaled."
Gamamaru raised his arm and pointed to the sky. "Enemies from outside."
