Naruto: Child of Chakra - Chapter 171

[Read the completed story in advance at -patreon.com/misterimmortal.]

The boy named code quickly confessed everything as soon as his neck was in the hand of Shiroken 69. “I am just a pawn. Isshiki Otsutsuki is the main boss.”

“You all, despite being humans, have decided to betray humanity. I have never seen weaker people than you in my life. As long as I am alive, I will keep on killing people like you.” Shiroken squeezed his throat until Code’s eyes and tongue popped out like a full fat sandwich being eaten from one side.

After that, Shiroken looked around the base. It was big, there were some medical facilities, a lot of dead bodies and wealth. ~I guess I should quickly round up all their minor bases and outer members.~

And so, for the coming day, many people around the world found themselves dead for no reason.

Isshiki Otsutsuki meanwhile was going mad and raging inside the prison that he had happily entered before. ~LET ME OOOOOUT! LET ME OOOOUT~

This was all he could scream, though it was music to Shiroken’s ears.

…

Shiroken was… happy. His family was whole again, he had a pretty and cute girlfriend with whom things were going good. His students were doing well with their studies and training. He was able to instil good morals in them and was hoping that they will do good in the future.

He trained them almost every day now that he had time. He himself tried to train, but sadly, everyone in the world was not even equal to 10% of his power. This left him to train on his own.

“Faster, this is how you dream of defeating an Otsutsuki? No, he can just swat you away like a fly. Your Mangekyo will not be enough to save those you love. Do not depend overly on Mangekyo. Because if that’s the only strong thing about you then you are weaker than any other ninja.

“Sharingan was a blessing that you received at birth. Even with that, if you can’t be overly strong, then it’s a waste. Now try again. All of you at once.” He commanded.

The training was meant for all those who possessed the Mangekyo. Well, by now all of them did, except Sasuke. Shisui, Itachi, Obito, Kakashi, Izumi, Monari and Shirajin were these people. Obito and Kakashi now had two eyes, they were given one from the big storage of the stolen eyes.

“But, this is the limit, any person who had fought us would have been destroyed by now,” Shisui said.

“Well, you have already answered yourself. Otsutsuki are not a “person”. Beings like them are whom humans in this world call god. You need to defeat those gods or defend against them.” Shiroken replied in a scolding tone.

“You can not even defend against one attack from me. And it’s not even a powerful one. You need to at least make me take a step back. Now, focus on teamwork.” He continued the training.

A distance from them, the 9 bijuu, a few of Saiken’s cows and horses sat together and watched the training.

“Do you think they can do it?” Chomei asked.

“Umm… it’s hard, they are bound by their biological limits, right?” Shukaku replied, eating one of Saiken’s giant milk candies.

Gyuki nodded and smartly replied, “Yes, this was why so many people were after Sharingan, Rinnegan or Byakugan. Normal people know their limits and see them as an option. For those who already have those eyes, well, they too have a limit. Of course, our Shiro does not count in that.”

“What if all of them learn Sage Mode? From what I know, Ninjutsu will be useless on the Otsutsuki, right?” Kurama wondered.

*Sigh* “But it’s not easy mastering that. Tsunade has been trying it for a while now and has only been able to enter the mode for a minute.” Matatabi responded.

Son Goku grunted in annoyance, “Just leave all this, our Shiro is too strong now, I’m sure he can beat them to a pulp.”

“Not if all of them come together. But, if a few of them come here and he is able to absorb them then he can probably become strong enough to hunt the Otsutsuki instead.” Gyuki suggested.

“YES… we should look for them,” Chomei suggested.

“Calm down, Chomei, there is no way we can find another Otsutsuki. They don’t grow on trees.” Kokuo said.

Chomei pouted, “Then what can we even do? WAIT! We got that Otsutsuki as well, isn’t she sealed? We even got the husk in which she was sealed.”

They all silently took a glance at Shiroken. Gyuki shook his head, “No, we should not get her out. Who knows how Shiro will act. Kaguya was a good person once, before she tried to kill her sons and enslave the world to become her army. She initially wanted a happy life too. So, what if Shiro does not kill her?”

“Then we kill her, hmph.” Saiken annoyedly crossed his arms. He looked cute though.

“Sure, and get ourselves enslaved again. She is stronger than all of us combined. Though she’s 100% weaker than Shiro. However, this plan holds merit as it can make Shiro stronger. We should discuss it with him.” Kurama suggested this time.

“I say we get her out first, who’s with me?” Shukaku raised his hand.

But, nobody else supported him, “Why do you not support me ever?”

Isobu sighed and replied, “Because we know what goes on your single-cell mind. You just want to get praise from Shiro for doing good but don’t understand how dumb you sound.”

Everyone looked at Isobu this time. Nobody expected him to speak like this, as it was a known fact that he was one of the shy ones and always acted like he didn’t have any self-confidence.

“Woah, the world has changed it seems.” Kokuo blurted. He was the last entry to the family.

Isobu shyly chuckled, “Hehe… I work for the world, so I built some confidence. Shiro also helped. Oh, look, their training is also coming to an end.”

…

“That’s it for today, go back and keep on practising Sage Mode. If you can master it, it will more than double your power. Meditate in any of the Saint Temples, as Natural Energy is thicker there.” He gave everyone homework.

“I’M GOING TO SAINT CHOMEI’S SHRINE!” Shirajin and Monari quickly named their favourite place to be.

“Not you, Monari. You will stay here and train more. If anyone, I expect more from you. You should at least be the second strongest person in the world. But now, if you were to fight someone like Obito, who has space-time jutsu, you would lose.” He stopped and dragged her towards the tailed beasts.

“Shiro, we want to talk to you about something very important.” Saiken started.

He stopped, Monari looked up from the ground, her collar was still in Shiroken’s hands. “What is it?” he asked.

Gyuki put the suggestion forward, “We were thinking, that you should free Kaguya and absorb her. You need to get stronger as fast as possible right now.”

“Hmm, I knew this day would come someday. She is someone who has killed a lot of people. Since I have given Obito and Itachi a chance to right their wrongs, I must do the same with Kaguya. But, if she shows even a speck of crazed brain and a will to destroy the earth, well, she will die. But…” He looked at each of the Bijuu.

“I don’t know how to bring her out. Since she is inside the ten tail husk, we need ten tails. For that, all of you will need to get in there. I will not accept this at any cost.” Shiroken said in a serious tone.

Kurama quickly interjected, “I think you have some confusion about the ten tails, Shiro. The ten tails is not the God tree. The ten tails are the beast form of Kaguya. You see, the god tree has no will or brain of its own. Only when Kaguya merged with it did the tree turn into a beast with the feelings of Kaguya. We came after that. We don’t think you need us. She is probably just sealed inside the husk, after all, if that was not the case, why was it sealed in the moon?”

Shiroken nodded, “Hmm… we can possibly try.”
