Watching the Four-Tails, Son Goku, dissipate, Tengen grinned. "Last time wasn't on purpose. This time, it was."
"No need to thank me, Four-Tails." Tengen chuckled, dispelling his Susanoo and landing on the ground.
Tengen could be quite mischievous, and the Four-Tails had the misfortune of crossing his path. Rōshi, its Jinchuriki, kept challenging Tengen, but against any other ninja, Son Goku could dominate. In Tengen's presence, however, it was thoroughly outmatched.
"First, let's seal you." Tengen said, approaching Han. Forming hand signs, he summoned countless chains that rippled through the air, piercing Han's body, sealing both the Five-Tails' power and Han's chakra. Now, Han was little more than a slightly stronger human.
Boom, boom, boom! The ground quaked as the towering Wood Human approached, flipping its palm to reveal Rōshi, unconscious within. Tengen hadn't let either Jinchuriki escape, they were valuable assets for Konoha.
He sealed Rōshi as well, then glanced at the massive Wood Human. "Time to vanish." He said, dispelling it.
This victory earned Tengen the second half of an X-Men ultra-high-definition video, completing his set, along with another ultra-clear video from an unknown world.
"Let's check it out." Tengen decided. There was no rush, Iwagakure might act, but if Konoha fell so easily, its ninjas wouldn't deserve their titles.
"What's this video?" Tengen examined his system's player, which held two videos: one from Naruto and one from X-Men. The X-Men video, split into halves, was unplayable until combined. "Another Naruto video?" He nodded. "Let's see what I've got."
He held high hopes for the ultra-clear video. While the Naruto world offered fewer useful powers as he grew stronger, abilities like the Rinnegan or Sage of the Six Paths Mode could still be game-changers.
"Extract it." Tengen commanded.
Ding!
"Obtained Perfect Senju Sage Body." The system announced.
"Senju Sage Body?" Tengen's eyes lit up with surprise. It wasn't the ultimate prize, but it was immensely valuable. With a Sage Body, he could fully master Wood Release, unlike his prior incomplete usage.
"What about my Uzumaki physique?" He asked. "System, if I absorb the Senju Sage Body, what happens to it?"
"Host, rest assured." The system replied. "All prior abilities are seamlessly integrated. Fusing the Senju Sage Body will retain your Uzumaki physique's strengths, just as your pseudo-One Punch Man training preserved your physical prowess."
"And in the future, if I gain Byakugan or other eye powers, will the system merge their strengths?" Tengen asked.
"Yes." The system confirmed. "The system delivers only perfection. If you acquire Byakugan, it will enhance your existing Sharingan, combining their advantages."
"Good to know." Tengen said, his anticipation growing. "It's not the best reward, but it patches my weaknesses. Absorb it."
A faint white mist materialized, seeping into Tengen's body. He felt his physique transform, vast chakra roaring within, his vitality surging to new heights. Knowledge of the Sage Body's secrets flooded his mind, granting effortless mastery.
Minutes later, the mist faded. Tengen's body emitted a tailed beast-like roar, a testament to his immense chakra. "My physique is vastly stronger, and my recovery is near-instantaneous, capable of withstanding the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates." He noted, sensing the changes.
"Armament Haki, ki, and other unique powers have also improved." He said, smiling. "But the chakra…" With the Perfect Senju Sage Body, his chakra surpassed even tailed beasts, explaining Hashirama's terrifying might. Tengen's version was even more refined.
He couldn't imagine the chakra he'd wield with the Eight Gates fully open. "There's one more state." He said, closing his eyes to sense natural energy.
"Sage Mode!" He declared. Red markings framed his eyes, his colossal chakra shaking the air. Whoosh! Tengen vanished, leaving only fleeting sonic booms, his speed invisible to the naked eye.
Sage Mode amplified his abilities exponentially, enabling feats like True Several Thousand Hands, a technique dwarfing his prior Wood Human. Only in this state could he fully unleash Wood Release's potential.
Tengen reappeared, exhaling. The Sage Body had multiplied his strength. "Now, let's see what X-Men has in store."
