"So how do I quickly boost my ocular power?" Sasuke asked.
"Use power of the sa origin as a guide, or... devour—" Seeing Susano’o start to rise again, Urashiki quickly changed his tone, "Have that blond brat give you a part of his Six Paths power temporarily, or you beco a Jinchuriki of either the Ten-Tails or the Nine-Tails. Their chakra can give you enough eye power."
Before, the Nine-Tails alone couldn’t give this Sasuke enough chakra. It had plenty in quantity, but not in quality. Only the Ten-Tails could supply enough for a Jinchuriki to sustain Yomotsu Hirasaka.
But that was before. Now the Nine-Tails is basically a second Ten-Tails, more than enough to provide the
Sasuke nodded again, satisfied. "Becoming a Jinchuriki probably won’t happen, but having Naruto lend so Six Paths power shouldn’t be a problem. But unlike Kurama, we’ve never learned how to transfer Six Paths power..."
Thinking for a mont, Sasuke fell silent. "So, for now, these are the only two options?"
"That’s all," Urashiki shrugged. "Unless you want to trust the Nine-Tails’ one-in-ten-thousand chance that the blond brat can master the Flying Thunder God."
Sasuke’s mouth twitched. "I’ll stick to considering Evil Sealing Jutsu and the Karma mark’s chakra absorption ability. That sounds more reliable."
Urashiki didn’t answer, just smiled at Sasuke.
The serious talk was over. Sasuke looked at Urashiki, his tone more casual now. "By the way, I’ve got a small question."
Urashiki nodded.
"I don’t rember you, but I feel like your personality shouldn’t be like this. Or... did Kurama, or maybe I, affect you sohow?" Sasuke sounded puzzled.
Yes, his mories were sealed, so he had no idea about anything related to Urashiki. Before Urashiki’s soul was sealed, he and Sasuke had only t a handful of tis. Still, Sasuke just felt that sothing about Urashiki’s current personality didn’t seem right.
Urashiki froze for a while, then lifted his head to the shining sky with a distant look. "I didn’t want this either, but... your mories are amazing. Once I saw those
He admitted he had been influenced, but only a little. He didn’t completely change like Sasuke or Naruto into Kurama’s image.
"Good. That’s a relief." Sasuke nodded. "Second question—why are you helping ?"
That was the real question.
Urashiki dropped his smile and spoke with rare
"I don’t know why, but in you and that blond brat, I see the possibility of becoming gods."
"Becoming gods?" Sasuke frowned. "Kurama said sothing like that before... your Otsutsuki clan’s ultimate goal?"
"Yes." Urashiki nodded. "I see the possibility in you two, so I want to know what the future will be."
He looked at his fist. "My power is fading. Through the Karma link, you’re learning and taking more from . I can still see part of the future for now, but soon, I’ll only be able to see your mories. Everything else will be out of reach."
"That kind of loneliness, I can endure. I just want to see you beco gods—or before that day cos, if I can’t take it anymore, I’ll ask you to kill ." Urashiki looked
Sasuke paused for a mont. "You can see the future?"
"You forgot about my eye technique?" Urashiki smiled confidently as his eyes changed in an instant—white eyes turning into a pair of blue Rinnegan. The glow of the Rinnegan, however, looked a little dim.
He pointed at his eyes. "Actually, I’ve already experienced this mont before. I just used these eyes’ power to go back in ti. Of course, this doesn’t affect you—it’s only sothing I’ve been through. You’ll be able to do the sa once you fully master my power."
Ti reversal, huh... what a broken ability.
Sasuke was curious. "I’ve heard of it before, but if you had sothing like ti reversal, how did we even beat
Urashiki froze. "I refuse to answer that."
Who would share their own embarrassing history? Would you?
Urashiki sure wouldn’t.
Laugh.
The uneasy chakra was growing stronger... What kind of being could make his unshakable heart tremble like this? That feeling—like it ca from the depths of the soul—was far scarier than any abyss he had seen.
Dark... and deep.
"Stop being dramatic. The ’uneasy chakra’ you’re talking about is right in front of you." Tsunade gave Kurama an annoyed look.
"How can you hear the narration?" Kurama was shocked.
Minato gave an awkward laugh. "Um, Nine-Tails... those words just now ca out of your mouth."
Not only did he say such edgy lines, but he even had a dark, twisted expression while saying them.
"Lord Fourth... soone as honest as you will totally get bullied by Kurama." Sakura smiled awkwardly, trying to keep it polite.
Minato froze and glanced at Kurama’s ridiculous face.
Kurama glanced at Tsunade’s dark expression one more ti and finally gave a helpless laugh. "Alright, even after spending so much ti with the other Nine-Tails, I still can’t get used to the way he talks."
Too wild, completely different from Minato.
Minato thought for a mont and decided not to respond to that. Instead, he looked at Sakura. "You’re Naruto and Sasuke’s teammate, right?"
Sakura nodded. "Yes, Lord Minato, my na is Haruno Sakura. You can just call Sakura."
"You can call Uncle, just like Sasuke does." Minato
"Got it, Uncle Minato." Sakura’s face turned a little red.
Don’t get the wrong idea—it wasn’t because of Naruto or anything like that. It’s just that Minato’s smile was too lethal for most won. A sunny personality, plus a handso face—there’s no denying Minato is top-tier.
"Flirting with your own son’s teammate, huh? Bold move, Yellow Flash." Kurama gave Minato a aningful look.
Minato sighed. "Kurama, can’t you ever be serious?"
"With you—" Kurama was about to fire back with so sarcasm when he suddenly froze, his whole fox body tipping over uncontrollably, smashing the ground into a
Lying in the pit, Kurama looked completely confused.
Tsunade took a deep breath and pulled back her smoking fist. "I’ve wanted to do that for ages. Feels great."
Kurama, Naruto, Sasuke, then those two idiots Kakashi and Jiraiya, and even half of Sakura—after all these years, it’s a miracle Tsunade didn’t collapse from stress. She had beaten Jiraiya many tis, Sakura too. Kakashi was harder to hit, and Naruto and Sasuke weren’t around the village.
But the root of all evil, Kurama, she had never gotten the chance—until today. Finally, satisfaction.
After punching Kurama, Tsunade turned to the stunned Kage and pointed at the space-ti rift in the sky. "The unstable chakra is right there. If anyone goes off-topic during the war again, I’ll give them a full combo."
Kurama jumped up imdiately.
"Kurama, you’d better think about this—if I decide to limit cultural developnt and focus on weapons instead, do you think you’ll still get to play the things you like?" Tsunade said calmly.
Whoa, threatening now? You think I’ll just take that? I just learned grappling techniques.
Kurama instantly sat upright and said in a righteous tone, staring at the rift. "That’s Kaguya’s presence. A tough fight is coming. From now on, nobody’s allowed
Kurama just suddenly rembered—he never actually learned grappling. That’s all.
Definitely not chickening out.
