Chapter 69: Bond

250 Powerstones = One Bonus Chapter

---------------------

"My eyes!"

Naruto’s main body received the memories of the clone, and anger burst out. In the fit of rage, his Byakugan transformed into a Sharingan with one tomoe.

Soon, the first tomoe split into the second tomoe, forming two tomoe in both eyes.

This was absolutely spectacular.

But it was also plausible. This happened for two reasons.

The first was his talent. Obviously, being an Otsutsuki, it became much easier for him to use that emotion to produce more of that special Chakra.

The second was Naruto himself.

Naruto had always been an emotional person, and more importantly, he was lonely.

Not anymore, but the past still existed. So, the very idea of seeing Hinata in harm’s way caused his emotions to explode.

Especially knowing how Danzo was planning on using Hinata to get to him.

If not for his Byakugan, Naruto’s stupidity would’ve let Hinata be captured by the Roots.

So, anger, hatred, and self-blame culminated into one large emotion and helped him awaken the Sharingan.

Of course, just a two-tomoe Sharingan wasn’t that useful for him except for increased dynamic vision.

(A/N- For most people, this might not be enough to awaken the Sharingan considering Sasuke’s situation, but look at Sarada and the artificial Sharingan produced by a Root member and Orochimaru in novels.)

His Sharingan disappeared quickly as he turned his eyes to normal and created another clone.

"Protect Hinata and don’t mess up this time!"

Hearing the pleading tone in his words, the shadow clone rubbed the back of his head nervously and said.

"Sorry, boss!"

The main body rolled his eyes and ran towards Danzo.

"Naruto, there is something I need to tell you."

"Huh? What is it?"

"You can’t use KCM."

Suddenly, Naruto stopped and asked.

"What do you mean I can’t use KCM? Why can’t I use it?"

"Because Otsutsuki Chakra will devour my Chakra. I am currently going through a transformation."

"I can refine Senjutsu Chakra for you, but I can’t give you Tailed Beast Chakra. But you don’t have to worry about this."

"With your body constantly producing Otsutsuki Chakra, your strength has surpassed Kage Level."

"Without even adding the Senjutsu Chakra, you can easily take down the roots and Danzo."

"But are you sure you want to kill Danzo?"

Kurama explained.

Hearing his words, Naruto froze. He almost forgot Momoshiki was absorbing the Nine-Tails’ chakra while they were on another planet.

Just like how the Divine Tree could absorb Otsutsuki Chakra or any other form of Chakra, Otsutsuki could also absorb Tailed Beast Chakra.

This didn’t require a special mechanism.

However, for lower-ranking Otsutsuki, if they want to absorb the Chakra, they need to merge with the Ten-Tails.

This was the case with Kaguya.

But Otsutsuki also needed some kind of tools to absorb certain Chakra under certain circumstances.

For example, Urashiki required the fishing rod, while Jigen required Karma, and Kaguya needed Black Zetsu, which could be considered her Karma.

Coincidentally, Naruto also had a similar version of Karma in his body. While it didn’t have the active absorption method like normal Karma, it could absorb Chakra.

That’s how it absorbed Ashura’s Chakra. At that moment, it only targeted Ashura’s Chakra.

But now that Naruto was seventy-five percent Otsutsuki, Naruto’s Karma could absorb Tailed Beast Chakra instead of using it to boost his strength.

"So, once you transform, I can’t absorb your Chakra?"

Naruto asked.

Kurama shook his head.

"That’s not how it works. You see, Momoshiki absorbed Chakra to enhance his Jutsu, but even when he absorbed my Chakra, he didn’t use it to enhance his strength."

"Why do you think that is? Because for Momoshiki, the only thing that could improve his strength was Chakra Fruit."

"Or maybe the entirety of my Chakra could improve his strength, but he didn’t get that chance."

"Your situation is similar, but you are far from reaching the point where my Chakra can’t be of any use to you."

"So, even after my transformation, you can still absorb my Chakra, but I can just merge my Chakra with Senjutsu Chakra to produce Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra similar to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

"But once my transformation ends, I can also promote your Otsutsuki bloodline to one hundred percent."

"Since this method is similar to Karma implantation, you wouldn’t change completely, but your body will only produce Otsutsuki Chakra."

"Then, you can just merge that Chakra with my Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra to be just as strong as Old Man, if not stronger."

He believed Naruto would be stronger.

Because his future self had essentially created the Karma to turn Naruto into an Otsutsuki without completely changing him.

That meant Naruto could essentially just devour the Ten-Tails without merging with it or using it to produce Chakra Fruit.

This was the most powerful part of this version of Karma.

Kurama did this because he knew there was a second Ten-Tails in the Ninja World. Using that Ten-Tails, Naruto could get much stronger.

Not only Naruto, but even Kurama could also absorb that Ten-Tails Chakra using its own version of Karma to get stronger.

At least, strong enough to fight more powerful Otsutsuki clan members who hadn’t arrived yet.

Of course, there was a small selfishness in this matter.

Something only the current Kurama understood.

This was also the reason why the current Kurama no longer had any hatred or anger towards Naruto or his situation.

Because that Karma would essentially make Naruto immortal as long as he could consume a Ten-Tails.

Tailed Beasts were very lonely figures.

They had one kind person who created them, but that person left them a thousand years ago.

After a thousand years, Kurama finally met another person who could replace that old man.

But he lost him.

Kurama and Naruto both hated themselves for losing each other.

Kurama was angry because he couldn’t help Naruto defeat Isshiki.

Naruto was angry because this led to the sacrifice of Kurama.

As Naruto said, ’Kurama was a brother he always had’.

For Kurama, it wasn’t that different.

Naruto was a brother he found, and he didn’t want to lose him.
