In the situation where Aomi has already paved a heavenly path for the Nine-tails...
Although it had past bonds with the Six Paths Sage, after careful consideration, the Nine-tails has decided not to wait to be called a name anymore!
It wants to become stronger, it wants freedom, it wants to pursue a broader world!
Especially, the Nine-tails longs to meet Aomi again!
Goodbye could mean farewell, but it can also be understood as a promise for the next meeting...
"Naruto, there are some things I need to tell you... concerning what Mr. Aomi said, our final enemy, and the origin of the Ten-tails and the Tailed Beasts!"
The Nine-tails spoke hoarsely: "This world does have immortals, that is, the Six Paths Sage in the legends of the Ninja World..."
"He split the Ten-tails into nine parts, and I am one of them, inheriting most of the power..."
"And that Chakra residing in you, influencing your thoughts and instilling you with power, Naruto, is precisely the second son favored by the Six Paths Sage, Asura..."
"In a way, if Mr. Aomi hadn't appeared, you would have been subtly influenced by Asura Chakra, eventually becoming very, very much like him..."
"Or rather, you are the reincarnation of Asura Chakra, just that Mr. Aomi forcibly interrupted this process, allowing your self-awareness to regain independence."
After hearing Nine-tails' words, Naruto looked at the Asura Chakra compressed into a sphere by Aomi, bewildered...
"So, the Six Paths Sage wants my life?"
Naruto murmured: "Influencing my consciousness since childhood? Then I am not myself, how is that any different from being dead?"
The Nine-tails coldly nodded: "That's right... you are still yourself, but your logic, thinking, and important value orientations will be exactly like Asura's."
"You are not the first in the Ninja World to be possessed by Asura Chakra. For a thousand years after his death, the direct bloodline of Uzumaki and Senju have continuously produced new incarnations, and in the end, mostly lived like Asura..."
"Aomi, it turns out, really saved me..." Naruto forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, pondered for a while, and then slowly said:
"Kurama, then what is Asura after? Immortality in this manner?"
The Nine-tails sneered: "Immortality? Not at all... corresponding to Asura is the Six Paths Sage's elder son Indra..."
"To be precise, the reincarnation of Asura Chakra is to fight against the constantly reincarnating Indra Chakra. The two fought because of differences in their concepts of peace during their lifetimes, so even after physical death, their souls continued to fight through this method of reincarnation..."
"Before the era of one nation and one village, every war in the Ninja World was instigated by Asura and Indra forming two factions that continuously initiated wars!"
Naruto furrowed his brows deeply and said in a deep voice:
"So, were those ninjas possessed by them just sacrificed like that? And isn't Asura and Indra to prove whose concept of peace is right? Why do they repeatedly start wars?"
"Naruto, let me ask you, weren't the ordinary people slaughtered by those two Mangekyo Uchihas in the Uchiha Clan Land sacrificed in vain?"
The Nine-tails shook its head:
"Who cares if the weak get fairness, who cares about true peace? They are just trying to win over each other, the so-called difference in the concept of peace is just a facade..."
Naruto took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
He understood now.
The so-called reincarnation actions initiated by Asura and Indra, in essence, are no different from the Night of the Clan Extermination, both acts of frivolity by the strong...
There's nothing more to say, it has nothing to do with peace at all!
"The Six Paths Sage is the same... although the old man is a gentle person right now, he also has an obstinate pursuit of the definition of peace..."
A trace of gloom flashed in the Nine-tails' eyes: "If we want freedom, then the last enemy might just be him!"
"An enemy of the Six Paths Sage?" Naruto softly murmured the name from the myth, his heart moved, and he and the Nine-tails looked simultaneously at the last Chakra Aomi left in the Spiritual Space.
That was the Chakra Aomi said — would accompany the two of them to face the final enemy together!
"What a sharp aura..."
The Nine-tails stared at this Chakra, not attracting attention if not carefully comprehended.
But upon sensing it closely, the aura of this Chakra was sharp as if a sword that could split heaven and earth, with immense power!
"What about the Six Paths Sage? Kurama, we have the fallback Aomi left us! All we need to do next is put in our best efforts!"
"Aomi said, as long as we give our all, we can definitely achieve it!"
Looking at that Chakra, Naruto's blood seemed to burn inside him with Aomi's foundation:
"Shall we do it together? Kurama!"
"Of course, kid... Mr. Aomi's first Chakra pretended to be Senju Tobirama to cover up our current weakness, the second Chakra turned into resources for training, to quickly strengthen you and me..."
The Nine-tails swept away the sadness in its eyes, its blood-red eyes full of fighting spirit: "And even the final battle, Mr. Aomi thought about it for you and me!"
"What right do we have to hesitate and be lost?"
"Kurama, that's the spirit!" Naruto smiled and nodded, extending his fist with the Nine-tails:
"Let's give it our all, so we can meet Aomi again!"
The Nine-tails chuckled, the big and small, a man and a fox's fists bumped solidly together.
"Old man, thank you for creating me... but I can't keep living just as a beast, I have people I want to meet, a broader world I want to go to..."
The Nine-tails whispered in its heart: "I hope you won't stop Naruto and me! If my actions don't meet your expectations, I can only say sorry!"
"Kurama, still daydreaming? I've already started training!" Naruto walked over to a bookshelf filled with scrolls, picked up a volume, and opened the cover:
"Don't fall too far behind me!"
"Brat, don't get cocky!"
The Nine-tails awoke and also picked up a volume: "Stupid boy, you'd better not hold me back!"
————————
Ninja World.
On a deserted snow-capped mountain.
"How long was I away in the Otherworld?" Aomi, holding the Otsutsuki treasure tool "Plow", asked this magical little turtle.
Upon traveling through time and space, Aomi returned to this time.
"Less than a week? According to your instructions, Mr. Aomi, the time in the previous reached space flows close to a hundredfold faster than in this time..."
The little turtle said seriously, a hint of worry in its eyes: "Mr. Aomi, do you want to continue your journey through time and space? My energy reserves are insufficient..."
"Don't worry, I know you've done your best and done well, Plow..." Aomi gently patted the little turtle's shell and spoke softly.
Whether it was really a hundredfold velocity, Aomi didn't know for now...
But as Aomi applied his perception ability, he could still clearly sense the Chakras of people like Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Madara, so there was no problem...
As long as I return before the reinforcements called by Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Urashiki arrive, it is all within the plan.
The Ninja World is the nursery I prepared for myself, I can't let others come and ruin it first.
Plow looked at Aomi in surprise, its heart stirred.
Unlike any previous Otsutsuki... Aomi's attitude towards it, towards Nine-tails, a beast or tool, was always filled with genuine respect and warmth.
Aomi reviewed the situation in the Ninja World when he left, his lips slightly curling up — "Yo, my brother seems impatient?"
The prearranged Shadow Clone showed.
Zetsu was frantically searching for Aomi in the Ninja World using Kamui!
What is it trying to do?
Trying to save Uchiha Obito?
