ROAR!!
The mont the nine magatama sank into its body, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path threw back its head and let out a deafening howl. Its chained hands clutched at its skull as the earth began to quake violently. An invisible pressure burst outward, whipping up a terrifying shockwave that swept across the land like a hurricane. Countless blades of grass were severed and hurled into the air, scattering wildly on the wind.
Naruto did not move an inch.
Neither did the nine tailed beasts. They stood firm, eyes unblinking.
CRACK!
With a sharp tallic snap, the chains binding the statue's wrists shattered. At the sa ti, the bandages wrapped around its forehead bulged outward, then split open with a wet tearing sound. Nine pupil-less eyes were revealed, rolling erratically in all directions.
ROAR!!!
Another furious bellow erupted—but this ti, those nine empty eyes suddenly drooped, locking onto Naruto.
In the next instant, a massive hand ca crashing down toward his head.
"Only showing resistance when cornered," Naruto said coldly.
"Pathetic acting."
He sneered and threw a single punch upward.
The statue's palm was blasted back, slamming into its own head. Naruto stepped forward—
BOOM!
The ground shattered. His body expanded instantly, growing until he towered over the Demonic Statue itself. His right hand spread wide, following the recoiling palm and forcing it down onto the statue's skull, while his left hand rapidly completed a series of hand seals.
RUMBLE—RUMBLE!
Several towering crimson torii gates descended from the sky and slamd into place.
"So this is Kurama's Jinchūriki…" Gyūki murmured in a daze, as if speaking to himself.
"No wonder Shukaku said he looks down on the tailed beasts' power…"
"That idiot said sothing else too?" Kurama asked casually, ears twitching as he slowly turned his head, a strange gleam flashing in his eyes.
"He said you fight without any sense of fairness now," Gyūki replied.
"That you cheat all the ti."
"Heh." Kurama chuckled.
"That just ans he's too stupid."
"..."
At this point, the Demonic Statue's head had been slamd deep into the ground. Its limbs were completely immobilized by the Myōjinmon gates Naruto had summoned, unable to move at all.
'Void Anomaly detected. Data analysis initiated.'
'Analysis complete. Unknown star chart detected. Spatial module upgrading.'
'Analysis target: Void Anomaly — the incomplete lifeform of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Permission update: Uzumaki Naruto, Level 9 World Sovereign.
Current data completeness: 60%. Please complete remaining data as soon as possible.'
"So an empty shell really has no absorbable energy," Naruto said calmly.
As the system prompt faded, Naruto returned to his normal size and raised his hand—
Suddenly, a clear voice echoed inside his mind.
At the sa ti, the Mirror World alert sounded again.
"Hagoromo… Hamura… I hate you both!"
'Warning! This entity is invading your ntal world through the Rinnegan.
Defense protocols active. You may choose: Forced Expulsion or Forced Capture.'
"I'm sorry," Naruto said with a smile.
"You've got the wrong person, old man."
He selected Forced Capture.
The Demonic Statue imdiately went still.
Inside the Mirror World, Naruto noticed that two new figures had appeared in the puppet data panel:
A ferocious white rabbit, and a withered, broken tree.
Outside, the statue—now completely motionless—began to change.
Its body writhed and shrank, rapidly compressing until it transford into sothing resembling a seed.
Naruto imdiately entered Sage Mode and lifted his hand.
One by one, crystal-clear magatama erged from the seed, glimring like gemstones. They quickly shrank and floated before him, each radiating a gentle glow.
Once the final magatama flew out, the seed collapsed into a pile of gray-white ash. A light breeze passed, scattering it into the distant grass.
"It's ti," Kurama said, baring his teeth in a grin as he leapt forward.
The other tailed beasts moved as well. Soon, all nine gathered around Naruto once more.
Naruto looked around at them and spoke slowly:
"Everyone, I'm about to take back the power Hagoromo left within each of you. You'll be weakened for a ti. But once you beco true lifeforms, you'll be able to cultivate ninjutsu and senjutsu."
"With the power of the Giant Tenseigan, you'll recover quickly—and beco even stronger than before."
"Understood!"
All nine tailed beasts answered in unison.
Naruto smiled faintly.
The nine crystalline magatama before him suddenly scattered, each one rging into a different tailed beast.
A flash of light—
The nine beasts vanished.
Monts later, the magatama reappeared, spiraling back toward Naruto. This ti, each one contained a tailed beast within it.
With a simple gesture, Naruto drew them together. The nine magatama linked into a chain and sank into his palm.
'Void Anomaly detected. Data analysis initiated.'
'Analysis complete. Void Anomaly — Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
This entity has fully transcended into a top-tier state.
Unknown star chart detected!'
'Permission update: Uzumaki Naruto, Level 9 World Sovereign.
All world data has been collected. All core functions unlocked!'
"As expected of the Sage of Six Paths," Naruto murmured.
"He supplied all remaining data in one go. But why didn't Hamura's Tenseigan provide a star chart?"
The mont he thought this, another Mirror World alert sounded.
'Top-tier foreign energy detected! Hidden top-tier energy detected!'
'Top-tier foreign energy detected! Hidden top-tier energy detected!'
"So it really only appears when all nine tailed beasts are gathered," Naruto said, eyes flashing.
He accepted the incoming consciousness and focused on the interface.
At the top of the energy hierarchy list, the Tenseigan and Rinnegan occupied the sa tier. Beneath them were the nine tailed beasts—and beside each beast stood a projection of the Sage of Six Paths, each with an Absorb option.
Naruto clicked them one by one.
'Congratulations! Hidden top-tier energy successfully absorbed!'
'Congratulations! Hidden top-tier energy successfully absorbed!'
'…'
Nine confirmations rang out.
Just as Naruto was about to turn toward the Giant Tenseigan again, a new prompt appeared.
'Multiple interdinsional coordinates detected.
Filtering invasion entry points… Success.'
'Several coordinates locked.
Initiate parasitic deploynt?'
Naruto selected Yes without hesitation.
The interface vanished.
In the next instant, he found himself standing in the void of space. Countless brilliant galaxies streaked past him at incomprehensible speeds.
Gradually, the motion slowed.
Before him appeared a string of glowing droplets, suspended in the cosmos.
'Current star region corresponds to the unknown star chart provided by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
Initiating parasitic deploynt at first coordinate.
Infiltration progress—'
Naruto's expression shifted slightly.
"Could this be—"
The Pure Land
The Sage of Six Paths and Ōtsutsuki Hamura suddenly changed expression.
Both raised their hands at the sa ti.
In their palms, the symbols of Sun and Moon appeared once more.
