Naruto became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki!
With a sharp whoosh, the Fourth Raikage flashed forward. He caught Killer Bee before his body fully collapsed, quickly placing two fingers on Bee's neck to check his pulse, then leaned closer to feel his breathing.
Nothing.
His face darkened instantly.
"Naruto!!!"
The Raikage roared, veins bulging on his forehead as he glared at Naruto. His voice trembled with barely restrained fury.
"Killer Bee is dead! You said you would revive him!"
Naruto calmly looked at Killer Bee's lifeless body, then nodded slowly.
"Uncle Raikage, don't worry. I said I wouldn't let Killer Bee die, and I meant it."
At this moment, Kakashi, Gaara, Terumī Mei, Ōnoki, and Sasuke all moved closer.
Sasuke's gaze lingered on Naruto for a long moment. Even without deliberately sensing it, he could feel the terrifying pressure radiating from Naruto's body.
This chakra…
It was on an entirely different level.
Before, Sasuke had only felt this kind of overwhelming presence from Kaguya. Even Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki had never reached this level of oppression.
Ōnoki slowly floated upward, his hands clasped behind his back as he examined Naruto with interest and awe.
"Hah… it seems living this long wasn't a bad thing after all," Ōnoki said with a smile. "I never thought I'd live to see a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki with my own eyes again."
Terumī Mei nodded gently.
"Yes… it's truly unbelievable."
Gaara looked at Naruto, his expression complicated.
"Naruto, you should be considered a Sage now, right?"
Naruto smiled faintly and shook his head.
"I can only say I'm stronger than Obito was back then. But compared to the Six Paths Sage… I'm still missing something. And compared to Kaguya… I'm probably still a little weaker."
Naruto could clearly feel the changes within himself.
After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, he finally understood what the word Sage truly meant.
Previously, entering Sage Mode by absorbing natural energy was merely borrowing the power of a Sage. Naruto himself had never possessed a true Sage's body.
But now…
Now he did.
At this moment, Naruto's body was fundamentally the same as Obito's had been after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.
Only Senjutsu and physical attacks could affect him. Ordinary ninjutsu was meaningless.
Even so, Naruto instinctively knew—he was still lacking something compared to the Six Paths Sage.
What was missing?
Naruto pondered for a brief moment, then slowly turned his gaze toward Sasuke.
Sasuke had already felt it.
He looked at Naruto and smiled slightly.
"Naruto… maybe I should give you this power."
Naruto opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately said nothing.
It was strange.
He had already become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, yet he still needed the Yin power that the Six Paths Sage had entrusted to Sasuke.
But that was the truth.
The Yin-Yang Power—the key force Hagoromo used to seal Kaguya.
Sasuke walked up to Naruto and raised his palm.
Naruto looked at him and said sincerely, "Thank you, Sasuke."
Sasuke smiled.
"This is what I should do."
Naruto raised his left hand, pressing his palm against Sasuke's right.
Heat surged between them.
Moments later, Sasuke's Yin power flowed completely into Naruto's body.
In that instant, Naruto felt something click into place.
His physical strength surged again, but more importantly, his understanding of the laws governing the world deepened dramatically.
"So this is it…"
Naruto exhaled slowly.
"As expected… this power is indispensable."
The Raikage, still holding Killer Bee, shouted impatiently:
"Naruto! Revive my brother!"
Kakashi laughed awkwardly and tried to smooth things over.
"Ahaha… Lord Raikage, don't worry. Naruto will revive him. Just give him a moment."
Naruto nodded, then knelt beside Killer Bee.
With a flash of movement, he vanished and reappeared almost instantly—this time dragging a struggling White Zetsu behind him.
Without hesitation, Naruto performed the Reanimation-like Reincarnation Technique, converting the White Zetsu's vitality directly into pure life force and channeling it into Killer Bee.
As he did so, Naruto's understanding of chakra deepened even further.
"So that's how it is…"
"Vitality and chakra are fundamentally the same thing—just different expressions of life itself."
In that moment, everything connected.
The vitality of the Earth itself was a form of chakra.
The God Tree was merely a harvesting tool.
The Chakra Fruit was the final product of that harvest.
Kaguya consumed the fruit, claiming that chakra as her own.
After giving birth to Hagoromo and Hamura, the brothers were born with chakra because of her.
And because Hagoromo was the child of Kaguya and a human king, he possessed half human blood.
That was the key.
It was precisely because of that human blood that Hagoromo could teach humans how to use chakra.
If Hagoromo had been a pure Ōtsutsuki, humans would never have been able to master chakra at all.
This was why Momoshiki and Kinshiki despised humans.
To them, humans were inferior creatures—beings that should never have touched chakra.
But when they discovered the truth…
That Kaguya had borne children with a human…
In the eyes of the Ōtsutsuki clan, that was blood contamination.
A capital crime.
This was one of the fundamental reasons Kaguya had no way back.
Attacking Isshiki and pleading for mercy might have given her a sliver of hope.
But marrying a human and spreading the Ōtsutsuki bloodline?
That was unforgivable.
If the Ōtsutsuki clan ever captured Kaguya again, her death would be certain.
That was why she had chosen to stand with Naruto.
As Naruto completed the technique, Killer Bee's chest rose suddenly.
He inhaled sharply and opened his eyes.
"Oi… Big brother?"
The Raikage froze for half a second, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Bee! You're alive!"
Killer Bee sat up slowly, scratching his head.
"Man… dying feels weird. Everything just went black."
Naruto smiled at him.
"Uncle Bee, thank you for your hard work."
Killer Bee waved it off, then paused.
"But… Hachibi…"
He could no longer feel Gyūki's presence.
He understood immediately.
The Eight-Tails was now fully within Naruto, without independent consciousness—nothing more than pure chakra.
"Naruto," Killer Bee said seriously, "you promised me you'd bring Hachi back."
Naruto met his gaze and nodded solemnly.
"I promise. I will bring Hachi—and all the Tailed Beasts—back safely."
Kakashi stepped forward.
"Naruto, now that you're the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and have absorbed Sasuke's Yin power… what are you planning to do next?"
Naruto turned his head and looked toward the village.
"Find Kaguya."
Then he looked at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, come with me."
Sasuke nodded.
Naruto asked Kakashi to entertain the other Kage, then left with Sasuke.
Uchiha clan territory.
Kaguya's guarded residence.
Fugaku led a group of former Uchiha security force members stationed around the perimeter.
Several ninjas whispered among themselves.
"Hey… even after being resurrected, we're still just guarding the outside."
"Yeah. The inner area is all Hokage ANBU."
"Well, the clan head can go in directly."
"I heard the person inside is Kaguya… the mother of the Six Paths Sage."
"No way… that's a mythological figure."
"It's true. I heard the clan head himself say it."
"This world is insane…"
"Hey—Captain!!!"
The gossip stopped instantly.
Fugaku frowned.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Don't say what you shouldn't say."
"Yes, Captain!"
At that moment, Naruto and Sasuke appeared behind Fugaku.
As Naruto passed by, every ninja present trembled.
The invisible pressure of his chakra was overwhelming.
Even resurrected shinobi felt their legs weaken.
Only after Naruto left did they dare to breathe again.
It was terrifying.
Too terrifying.
