Kaguya's Residence
The moment Naruto arrived, Kaguya sensed him.
Black Zetsu poked his head out from her sleeve and looked at her excitedly.
"Mother!"
Kaguya smiled faintly.
"It seems… he succeeded."
She stood up and walked toward the door. As she opened it, two ANBU guards were standing outside.
"He has come to see me," Kaguya said calmly.
The two ANBU ninjas froze and exchanged glances, utterly confused.
He?
Who?
And why didn't we receive any notice?
One of them gestured to the other, signaling him to step out and confirm. However, before he could move, footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.
Fugaku arrived first, followed closely by Naruto and Sasuke. The ninjas stationed in the outer area had already saluted and stepped aside.
Kaguya smiled slightly.
"They're here."
Fugaku and Sasuke moved to the side, allowing Naruto to step forward.
The moment Naruto appeared in full view, the two ANBU were stunned.
"Y–You… you're Naruto?"
"That's impossible… how can you look so much like… her?!"
Their eyes darted back and forth between Naruto and Kaguya. Both had horns. Both carried an indescribable pressure.
Had Naruto… become an Ōtsutsuki?
Naruto looked at them calmly.
"Don't panic. I've simply become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. I'm here to see her. You may withdraw."
"What?!"
"Naruto… you actually became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki?!"
The two ANBU were deeply shocked, but orders were orders. Kakashi had made it clear: Naruto's commands were equivalent to the Hokage's.
They nodded quickly and retreated.
Naruto then turned his head toward Fugaku.
"Uncle, please escort her only this far."
Fugaku glanced at Kaguya, then smiled and nodded.
"Alright."
With that, Fugaku also withdrew, leaving only Naruto and Sasuke behind.
Once everyone else had left, Kaguya looked at Naruto with a gentle smile.
"So," she asked, "how does it feel?"
Naruto answered solemnly, "I feel like I understand this world far more deeply than before."
Kaguya nodded.
"That's only natural. After I consumed the complete Chakra Fruit, my strength grew rapidly, and my perception of the world expanded as well. I began to see things… differently."
Naruto fell silent for a moment, then looked directly at her.
"Kaguya-sama… compared to you at your peak, how far am I?"
Kaguya studied him carefully, her gaze moving slowly from head to toe. Then she stepped closer.
Black Zetsu emerged from her sleeve at the same time.
Sasuke's body tensed instantly, his chakra surging as he prepared to strike.
Naruto raised a hand calmly.
"Sasuke, don't be nervous. I'm not the same as before anymore. I can handle anything now."
Hearing this, Sasuke relaxed slightly and did not move.
Kaguya chuckled softly.
"So confident already?"
Naruto smiled faintly.
"This confidence comes from power."
Kaguya said nothing.
Black Zetsu extended part of his body and touched Naruto lightly. After several seconds, he withdrew.
"Mother," Black Zetsu said, "this kid… he's extremely strong now."
Kaguya nodded.
"Yes. Very strong. But still one step away from my peak."
Naruto did not seem surprised.
"Where is the difference?"
Black Zetsu answered before Kaguya could speak.
"Boy, think about it. Back then, Mother consumed the complete Chakra Fruit and then gave birth to Hagoromo and Hamura. That alone split a massive amount of chakra."
"Your current state consists of Hagoromo's chakra combined with the chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts."
"There's still a gap equal to Hamura's power."
Naruto frowned slightly.
Sasuke stepped forward.
"But Hamura is long dead. His power should have dissipated. How can we obtain it?"
Black Zetsu let out a strange laugh.
"Who said it's gone? Isn't there another one on the moon?"
Then he continued, his voice growing colder.
"Also, Naruto, don't forget—Mother once fused with the Outer Path Demonic Statue."
"In other words, she merged the shell of the God Tree directly into her body, gaining its terrifying vitality."
Naruto looked at Black Zetsu sharply.
"What are you trying to say?"
Black Zetsu snorted.
"Both Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Uchiha Obito became Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. Even after losing the Ten-Tails, they didn't die immediately. They only became extremely weak."
"Do you know why?"
Naruto's eyes narrowed.
"It's because of the residual vitality of the Outer Path Demonic Statue left within them."
"As for ordinary Jinchūriki, the moment a Tailed Beast is extracted, death is inevitable."
"That's precisely why Mother fused with the Outer Path Demonic Statue in the first place—to gain unmatched vitality and ensure survival even in the face of the Ōtsutsuki clan."
Kaguya nodded and spoke herself.
"That's right, Naruto. The shell of the God Tree is extraordinary. By fusing with it, you gain immense life force. Even if your chakra is heavily damaged, recovery is rapid, and death becomes extremely difficult."
Naruto sighed softly.
"Why does this feel like I'm becoming Kabuto from the past… constantly fusing more and more power into my body?"
Kaguya continued calmly, "There is one more thing you should know."
Naruto looked up.
"Although you possess the Rinnegan, don't forget that the Mangekyō Sharingan is the bloodline power born from the fusion of humans and the Ōtsutsuki clan."
"So I hope—"
Before she could finish, Sasuke smiled faintly and stepped forward.
"Then, Naruto, I suppose I should give you my eyes."
Naruto immediately raised a hand.
"No. I already have the power of the Sharingan."
As he spoke, Naruto rolled up his sleeve.
Beneath it, several Sharingan were embedded along his arm.
Even after giving some away, he still had several left.
With Naruto's current level of power, activating them into Mangekyō Sharingan was trivial.
He lacked nothing from the Uchiha bloodline.
Seeing this, Kaguya smiled.
"So you hid them in your arm. No wonder Black Zetsu couldn't find them."
"Very well. In that case, you're missing nothing."
"Once you fuse with the Outer Path Demonic Statue, you'll truly reach my former level."
Naruto nodded slowly, then looked up at the moon.
"But… how do I fuse with the Outer Path Demonic Statue?"
Kaguya smiled gently.
"I can teach you."
Naruto lowered his gaze and bowed his head slightly.
"Thank you."
"This is only right," Kaguya replied. "I also want you to grow stronger."
"After all, I will teach you not only how to fuse with the Outer Path, but also how to properly wield the power of the Ōtsutsuki clan."
Kaguya then began explaining the method in detail—how to merge with the Outer Path Demonic Statue and how to master Ōtsutsuki abilities.
After understanding everything, Naruto turned to Sasuke.
"Stay here. I'm going to the moon."
Sasuke nodded.
Naruto leapt upward and shot into the sky.
This time, he did not use Flying Thunder God.
He wanted to rely solely on his immortal body.
To fly to the moon… using pure power.
As Kaguya had taught him, flight through the starry sky was a fundamental Ōtsutsuki technique.
Naruto streaked upward like a meteor, piercing through the atmosphere. Friction generated intense heat, but his body remained completely unharmed.
He mobilized chakra directly through his body, forming a faint blue protective film around himself, isolating him from the environment.
"So that's how it works…"
Naruto finally understood how the Ōtsutsuki clan traveled through space.
By forming such a barrier, they could naturally withstand the void of space and all external harm.
With confidence burning in his eyes, Naruto accelerated.
He flew straight toward the moon, leaving the Earth behind like a fading star.
