"Tsu-chan. The people outside were fighting too!" Naruto quickly remembered.
Tsuyu hummed.
"I know."
Normally I would say it's human resources so it's good to save them. But frankly what do I care about when I am already at peace on my own… no superior to appease, nor order me, even Hokage was nothing to me… I am already the biggest boss myself. I am my own superior.
… She learned the truth to her peace after gaining power and position. She never had reached this point in her previous lives where she was the biggest boss and there's no one that was above her. With power to live freely and she made the rules if she wanted to. Except for Hagoromo that she still respected, maybe, but that guy was a dead man living as a ghost.
I guess not doing anything means wasting the power I already had. And I do get something out of it… let's get it over with.
She waved her hand, ten of the Eye Creatures removed from the matrix of divine observation and flew close to Tsuyu. With a handseal, she sent them away in different directions through Flying Raijin. They were Tsuyu's own flesh with fragments of her own consciousness after all.
Kagebunshin no Jutsu!
Through each Gaze, a shadow clone with Her Majesty was created at each of the Eye Creature's locations.
***
Land of Tea, an eye creature appeared above the rooftop of a humble villager's home. It flew and reached the air, right in the middle of the battlefield.
Its Sharingan spun, the small creature morphed into a giant black eye with Sharingan in them.
The soldiers and shinobi fighting with white zetsu felt the presence and looked up above.
Their hearts were palpitating. Not out of fear, no. But…
Worship.
"Kami-sama! Kami-sama is here! She's alive!"
A majestic figure came out of the eye, a shadow clone of Tsuyu. A Rinnegan in her left, a Byakugan in her right. The red chakra robe fluttered, her long hair swaying.
Those that were in despair gained hope, calling out to Her. The 1000 Eyed Goddess had returned.
She came to give salvation to mankind.
Collapse Release: Abyss Armament.
From the ground, the earth rumbled as earth gathered, compressed, and turned almost pitch black crystal-like form - a heavy pitch black spear was created and floated towards her.
She spread out Sage Chakra in pulses, differentiating the white zetsu that may pretend to be someone else from the absorption and reaction to Senjutsu chakra.
She rushed with precision, holding her spear like a war god across the sky. Killing tens and hundreds of white zetsu in a matter of minutes, with her Eye above looking at the entire battlefield.
"Kami-sama! Thank you!"
"Kami-sama… nnh.. Kami…" The old lady shed tears, holding her injured daughter. Calculating the fact that she really didn't use much chakra to kill the zetsu since she really was using kenjutsu, saving one or few didn't matter.
Her touch grazed the wound, and behold Her miracle, ailment and wound healed.
The old lady shed tears and kowtowed in gratefulness.
"Kami-sama… thank you…"
She only nodded, before she flew back to the giant eye in the sky, entering them before the giant eye closed to appear in another location.
All over the Shinobi World, Tsuyu appeared like God, giving salvation to humans who were being killed by White Zetsu.
"Thousand Eyed Goddess! She's here! Oh Kami! Please save us!"
"Me-me-sama…!" A child looked up at her figure as the white zetsu was torn into half in a swing of her Dark Spear.
***
Village of Grass, the same eye appeared, and a shadow clone of Tsuyu came out of it. She looked down at the villagers tied into a cocoon with branches of trees around them. Partial Tsukiyomi caused some areas to be affected by the jutsu. Tsuyu came down and cut down the branch, severing the connection and releasing them all.
***
Land of Fire, Kiba's squad was fighting with the remaining white zetsu. Thankfully the Edo Tensei suddenly became allies, but they were still overwhelmed. But the white zetsu were able to cause chaos as they mimic other people.
Just then, a giant black eye appeared in the sky above. Its red iris turned to look below.
Konoha shinobi all gasped in shock, but then, all of them cheered.
"SHE'S ALIVE!" One of them almost shed tears, finally seeing their hero again.
"Tsuyu…" Kiba and Hinata almost shed tears seeing the figure coming out of the giant eye.
Though she had a new Rinnegan. With Collapse Release, she sent Abyssal Clones, a pitch black clone of herself to help. A pitch black spear created from the ground, gravitated in front of her. With a wave of her hand, the pitch black spear whistled through the air, moving left and right like a serpent skewering tens of Zetsu all at once in an instant.
So… COOL! Kiba was unable to remove his eyes from her, letting his guard down even.
The spear went right towards Kiba causing him to scream. It passed right next to his head to kill a Zetsu behind him pretending to be Konoha Shinobi.
He looked back, saw the dead Zetsu and laughed a little. A bead of sweat rolled down his cheek.
"Tsuyu… you scared me…" His eyes contained so much emotion seeing her again. Though she has a Rinnegan now. But she was still Tsuyu.
Her eyes turned cold. "On the battlefield a momentary lapse of focus leads to your death. "
Kiba shivered slightly.
"I will punish you later Inuzuka." Tsuyu said almost seriously, but then a soft smile grazed her lips. She was just joking.
"Yes Tsuyu! I will accept any punishment!" Kiba stood upright, his face serious. But the tears brimming in his eyes couldn't be hidden, as if he had so much to say but couldn't, not now on the battlefield.
Tsuyu's shadow clone shook her head. Whatever. She returned to the eye in the sky. The giant eye closed and disappeared to reappear at another location.
***
Tsuyu on the main battlefield raised her eyebrows, feeling the gold chakra of faith coming at her at ridiculous volume.
Due to the recent war, there were too many lost Shinobi. So white zetsu army passed through and caused slaughter among the masses. Tsuyu revived her own legend, and cemented her position as a God of Shinobi World.
Golden light flickered slightly in her dark red chakra robe as desperate faith, the highest spiritual power that could be condensed by an intelligent lifeform - spiritual power coming from despair turned to hope and deepest wish for miracle turned into chakra in her body as all thoughts turned to her, all chakra connected to her.
Just like how a mangekyo manifests the deepest desperate wish of a user into a technique. Most can think of hatred or love of the Uchiha giving them power to defy fate or fulfill their desire, thus manifestation of mangekyo ability. But faith had similar power.
Black Zetsu, feeling a potent chakra from Tsuyu, frowned. Did Hagoromo out there give her some boost?
Godbito looked at Tsuyu's figure. He felt so distressed. But he calmed himself down. Now that he had fully adapted to the 7 tailed beasts he absorbed, he felt invincible. Tsuyu may not have a way to kill him.
Kurama and Gyuki inside of Tsuyu had their hearts palpitating. Reibi and Nue were hugging each other in fear.
Tsuyu, do not underestimate him! He is like Sage of Six Path himself!
"I know." Tsuyu squinted her eyes. She had seen Hagoromo, and this person carried similar potent power.
Just as Tsuyu was wary of Godbito, he was also wary of her. Godbito's Rinnesharingan had their 6 tomoe returned, the red moon lost its tomoe as he stopped the partial Tsukiyomi to kill her.
"Zetsu, how do I kill her?"
He knew each of these Eye Creatures surrounding him were mobile Flying Raijin carriers and they even shared perceptions with each other feeling their gazes.
Obito wasn't worried about dying, since he could just pass through all of her attacks. But what was the point of running away? He wanted to complete his plan!
"Let's destroy those eyes first. Once she lost her mobility it would be easier." Zetsu thought.
Obito nodded. Tapping into Sage of Six Path Chakra, 9 black orbs and a black staff created. A 9 tomoe pattern appeared on his back. The pressure he emanated caused the surrounding watcher to feel palpitation. Only Tsuyu remained unaffected.
Zetsu looked at the Orbs. Not touched by Obito… Kekkei Mora… hey… could it be… Zetsu's brain was spinning.
Just then, figures stood next to Tsuyu.
Tsunade, Rasa and Terumi Mei flickered. The Edo Tensei of Raikage, Onoki, Hashirama, Hiruzen, Minato, Tobirama and Madara also appeared in the surrounding Godbito. The pressure emanating from Godbito made even them don't believe Tsuyu could do it alone.
Wait, Madara?
Everyone, even Godbito turned their eyes on him, surprised he was even there.
Madara was naturally Edo Tenseid by Kabuto previously. But the problem was his plan was entirely ruined. Because Obito never intended to revive him at all!
"Zetsu! What's the meaning of this!" He quickly scolded the black Zetsu that was hanging around Godbito.
"Um. Madara-sama… he's too powerful…" Black Zetsu acted pitiful. He was supposed to be Madara's will.
Madara squinted his eyes, feeling something was wrong. But Black Zetsu was right, Godbito right now was akin to Sage of Six Path. So it's reasonable that his will couldn't complete the plan to resurrect him.
"You had been working with him all along?!" The other Kages quickly flickered backward, their eyes wary of Madara.
The fact was Godbito already had the perfect body to resurrect Kaguya after using Chimera technique so reviving Madara was completely unnecessary at this point, that was why Black Zetsu didn't say much to Obito to remind him.
"Madara! It's been so long!" Hashirama looked a little too happy.
"Even after dying you are the same as ever." Madara snorted.
"... Obito. You surpassed my expectations… I would leave it to you to complete Tsukinomi…" Madara was reluctant and unwilling to leave it to others. But what can he do? Even the seal he left in Obito's heart was gone somehow.
Everyone gasped hearing Madara's words, so he was a part of the plan as well.
Onoki and A look at Tsuyu's figure, looking evil as usual. Now having Rinnegan in her left eye socket. The pressure and evil emanating from her was no less than Godbito.
"But what about her?" Raikage said with malice.
As Raikage said that, few of the Eye Creatures in the air turned their gazes at him. Tsuyu frowned, this old dead zombie still had something to say.
"She killed Onoki and me without a care! She will be the one to ruin this world!" Raikage said with anger.
Tsuyu's sharp glare turned to them.
"All of you attacked her when we already agreed to sign the treaty and stop the war! How could you be shameless!" Tsunade scolded him.
"War? There was a war?" Hashirama asked, Tobirama sighed, looking solemn. That their system failed. Hiruzen frowned, but he guessed, perhaps it was due to the Orochimaru invasion back then. In a way it was his fault to fail to protect Konoha, to a point another great war happened.
"4th Shinobi War. All of them, Suna, Iwa, Kumo and even Kiri decide to destroy Konoha!" Tsunade revealed it to the past Kages.
Konoha's Kage looked at the other villages' Kage with anger.
Mei Terumi raised her hand in surrender since it had nothing to do with her. "That was Yagura. And even then we found out he was mind controlled. Kirigakure never intended to fight Konoha."
"Have you guys done talking?" Godbito was annoyed at these people acting like it was some reunion. These people were just trash in front of him.
"Obito…" Minato called out to him.
"Minato… as always, you are late when it matters." His eyes darted to him.
"Why, Obito?" Minato tried to find the Obito he once knew.
Godbito looked up at the red moon, recalling the past. Of everything he did.
"To end this hopeless world…"
"Why? You always have… been the brightest of everyone. You wanted to become Hokage… This isn't you…"
"Minato, that Obito was already dead. Now… What's standing in front of you is God who wants to bring true peace to this hopeless world."
Collapse Release: Spiralling Abyss.
Out of nowhere, a black hole with a ring of light appeared right behind Godbito, transported out of his sight right to the Eye Creature that flew behind him.
Everyone gasped in shock. Obito too was caught off guard and quickly used Kamui to be intangible.
The earth shattered, the ground lifted and broken, the light dimmed and bent. Chakra gravitated toward the void. Tsuyu used Flying Raijin, with an Eye Creature attached to everyone alive bringing them along outside the area of explosion.
Bang!
White light engulfed the whole area, creating devastation everywhere they could see.
After light dissipated, the Edo Tensei that were destroyed instantly slowly revived itself. All of them had a look of shock seeing such a devastating technique that devoured everything.
"What is the girl's name…?" Hashirama asked after he was revived.
"Tsuyu Uzumaki. Demon of Konoha." Onoki replied.
"Demon…?" Tobirama frowned. The only ones who should deserve such a title were the Uchiha's.
"Her terror spread wide in the Shinobi World. Minato, your daughter used Flying Raijin to turn living shinobi into a weapon! She sent a technique to destroy and kill without moving a single step! Sending explosives through the technique, destroying and killing hundreds without a care! She even pretended to mark our shinobi, and let everyone know most of them were mere pretense! They made them commit suicide, made their allies turn against each other, and made them burn all corpses! She used prisoners as chakra cattle! Feeding on them like animals! She is a monster! To think you had created a demon, Minato!"
A's eyes were almost bloodshot as he looked at Minato, the Demon's own father.
Minato parted his lips, wanting to defend Tsuyu. "She had to do it. Otherwise Konoha would have been destroyed."
He said that, but as a father, how could he say he was comfortable for her daughter to be so ruthless. No father would want their children to turn out that way. But as the 4th Hokage, he supported her intentions.
"Impressive… To think Konoha produced such a genius. And a perfect 9 tails jinchuriki too. Her chakra volume made many things possible…" Tobirama on the other hand looks very impressed at Tsuyu's creative use of Flying Raijin. He really didn't care about her methods, Tobirama himself had always been nonchalant with using enemy prisoners to perfect his jutsu. Why didn't he think of that?
"... Enough. We are already dead, A. Konoha did what they could. Besides, we took advantage of her weakness when Konoha already asked for peace. That was on us, our death is justified on her hands. Tone down your anger."
Onoki said solemnly. He knew it was their own fault to make a move on Tsuyu back then, seeing her weakness. It was a huge mistake on their part. As an old man that went through wars, he wasn't that stubborn.
"Tch…" A grumbled. He wouldn't openly admit it.
Hashirama and Tobirama look at each other, quite surprised. Tsuyu killed Onoki? Even the Raikage. But then remembering the technique that made sense. Even Hashirama wasn't sure if he would survive being hit by that in his prime.
But as everyone looked over to see the aftermath, Godbito remained levitating there, 9 Truth Seeking Balls floating behind him. It was as if he was unaffected at all.
"How could he live?" Everyone gasped.
An Eye Creature flew over and Tsuyu quickly reappeared. She squinted her eyes, looking at Godbito unaffected. Space-time ninjutsu.
Kurama, who had Naruto's memories, quickly explained to Tsuyu about Kamui's properties after observation when they were fighting Obito back then. Tsuyu in fact had never fought Obito and until now was unaware of the specifics. Kurama forgot Tsuyu shouldn't know…
"Huh. Is that so… So he needs to be tangible to attack."
His Kamui had a time limit. Though after he became the Jinchuriki of Ten Tails, he wields Sage of Six Path power. It's possible he had no limit now. But he had to kill you, so he had to attack. He wouldn't just do nothing.
Tsuyu nodded. A plan already formed in her mind. Either let herself be hit, use Izanagi and hit him back. Or use a shadow clone that would wait for the right moment to hit. Or both at the same time, so she could land a hit.
Meanwhile Zetsu just has an idea for Obito. There's no need to be so complex.
Obito, just use truth seeking orbs as a weapon to kill her. You can remain intangible even while attacking! The black substance was Kekkei Mora, it would touch the physical even if you yourself were intangible! Just don't touch the orb directly when she attacks you.
Obito opened his mouth slightly. He never had thought a day would come when he could be intangible and attack at the same time. His body being a Sage body allowed him to withstand the chakra inside of himself from Juubi and utilise Kamui!
"Tsuyu, I will have to kill you, for this hopeless world to end!" One truth seeking orb appeared in his hand. Turning into a cone shape ready to launch an attack any time.
"Obito, was it? Can't you use that technique just on yourself. You can live in your perfect world on your own. No one would stop you. I wouldn't stop you either. Why would you need to drag the whole world with you?" Tsuyu mocked him, but was also serious about it. If he wanted to sleep badly just go ahead.
Obito choked on the logic.
"I… I will give them to everyone! Not just me!" Obito felt his conscience was questioned right where it hurts.
Tsuyu snickered. What a mad man.
"You just don't want to be left alone, knowing what you are doing is just some nonsense in your heart and you need others to accompany you in your stupid dream world to validate yourself. So pathetic."
Tsuyu's talk no jutsu burned him throughout because it was true.
"YOU…!" Obito used a truth seeking, launching an attack! Like a spear it stretched towards her.
She just disappeared in an instant, appearing next to an Eye Creature already flying next to Obito. Her vision prowess with Eye Creatures acting like a net of shared perception, her Byakugan, Rinnegan, Sage sensory perception, Godbito had no way to outspeed her perception.
She launched a kick towards him, but it simply passed through. Just then, Obito moved a truth seeking Orb, it elongated and stabbed right into Tsuyu's body!
"Tsuyu…!" Minato shouted, seeing her daughter stabbed right in the chest, blood spurted out of her. But in the same instance, her body disappeared like magic, and a shadow clone appeared and drove an Abyss Spear into Obito's chest.
It passed through without resistance.
Both Obito and Tsuyu frowned. Godbito looked in front of him, where Tsuyu's real body stood.
Izanagi…
Tsuyu talked to Kurama and Gyuki asking what's going on.
Those weapons are made of Truth Seeking Orbs… and he wasn't touching it directly, so it remains physical even when he's intangible.
Tsuyu felt her blood boiling. He can remain intangible AND attack at the same time? What a cheater!
Godbito looked around himself, the hundred Eye Creatures watching. Each of them represented one Izanagi.
Both of them look at each other in distorted expressions. Godbito used his Truth Seeking orb to destroy the Eyes first!
The Eyes as if having its own consciousness was too swift, dodging easily on their own. It was a tad a bit slow to attack if he didn't touch the balls and control it with just chakra. Tsuyu was even hit before because she intended to be hit.
Godbito took a deep breath before he could lose his patience. He had never met such a cockroach. But thinking again, Tsuyu had no way to hit him, so by default he won the longer the battle went on.
Tsuyu was thinking carefully. Space-Time ninjutsu… I need to figure them out. She clasped her hands.
Collapse Release: Abyssal Samsara! Tsuyu's own flesh torn off of her through Creation of All Thing, 9 pitch black crystalline orbs made of her own selves orbited around her like she was the center of gravitation.
She clasped her hands together. Distorted Domain!
The orbiting black orbs unleash its gravitational field. Each of them had different strength, constantly moving around Tsuyu, and the light around her appeared distorted. They distort directions and eventual trajectories of all attacks!
Godbito raised his arm, frowning. As he launched a truth seeking orb to attack, the supposedly straight javelin bent here and there and missed her by a few meters to hit the ground instead.
What kind of technique is this…
Tsuyu, as the center of gravity herself, was in the most balanced state. She couldn't see properly with the lights bending in front of her. But she didn't need to see through her own eyes, but the Eyes outside.
Godbito discovered each time Tsuyu wanted to attack, the path straight to her was not distorted. In a way, she had dodging hax as long as she wasn't attacking much like Godbito.
She rushed forward toward Godbito! Tsuyu took an orb and turned it into a spear thrusting it toward him. Godbito used Truth Seeking Orb once more to launch a strike onto her, but an Abyssal Orb as if living moved on his right, making his aim miss by a few inches from the attraction.
His Rinnegan looked at the Orb, realising those things were alive like those Eyes too! What the hell!
The two frustrated Gods fought each other, with each of their cheats, no one able to hit each other.
The people below felt anxious for Tsuyu. Though Raikage secretly wished Tsuyu was dead.
Godbito disengaged at the same time as Tsuyu. Both of them were thinking of a new strategy.
Godbito clasped his hands, using Chibaku Tensei hoping to destroy all of Tsuyu's Abyssal Orbs and her Eyes. But he thought too much as she just teleported them all away all at once. With all of them being her own flesh and chakra, she could teleport all of them without touching them. Same with her own eyes outside.
Godbito looked at the useless chunk of earth created after chibaku tensei was finished.
He felt like tearing his hair off.
"Zetsu, how do I kill this thing!"
Zetsu was also frowning. Tsuyu was really just as frustrated as Obito.
"Why don't you just give up. We both seemed to be unable to kill each other… like I said, you can live in your own dream… but not drag others." Tsuyu stated her proposition.
"As if I would give up! I will create a perfect world!" Obito, as if consumed by rage, created a long rod made of Truth Seeking Orb. The rod spun and elongated, attacking everything and everywhere wildly hoping to hit her.
The terrain changed, the ground cleaves in pieces like a blender. Tsuyu's matrix of observation was able to deduce its trajectory, dodging them with Flying Raijin while trying to figure out a way.
To defeat Space-Time ninjutsu, I need Space-Time ninjutsu. Gravitation affects the two. I need to reach an even greater extreme.
Hints of gold chakra flickered in her hand as she took an Abyssal Orb in her hand. Her being worshipped by so many created such an opportunity. She condensed an even greater amount of her own Collapse Release Senjutsu chakra, made using the Divine gold chakra as part of its spiritual component. Containing an extreme field of gravity, the orb turned into a spear pulsing with golden chakra-like veins surrounding the void in her hand.
This thing took almost half of my entire chakra, my arm breaking apart swinging it. But with this…
Zetsu noticed how even light was seemingly absorbed an inch around the spear, making it as if she was holding the very void, each movement carrying the ability to bend even space toward it.
He had a bad premonition. Be careful. Her weapon-
Tsuyu rushed with Flying Raijin behind Godbito. Godbito in his rage launched another Truth Seeking ball. Tsuyu, unable to move swiftly due to the Void Spear weighing like the world, just took it head on! It drove straight through her body, causing her body to break apart. Her arm shattered and flesh mushed as she swung the spear.
Her Void Spear cleaved right through Godbito! Causing everyone to gasp.
Spurt! Blood flushed as Godbito's body was cut in half through his shoulder down to his waist. Even his chakra as if bent and destabilised the moment it touched his body! Tsuyu's half broken body disappeared and reappeared as complete through Izanagi.
Godbito reattached his body quickly, realising his predicament.
No… she could hit me!
Godbito felt his heart faltering. The Eyes Creature around them all moved swiftly around Godbito, creating a matrix of observation looking for his openings and acting as mobile markers where Tsuyu could strike anywhere. Each of her swings was slow and heavy, and yet he couldn't dodge as if it was making him move into her attack.
Even Tsuyu herself was affected and 'died' a few times due to large openings each time she swung to end Godbito.
Godbito's body was tough, even if he were cut and split apart, he could heal it back. Godbito tried to take away Tsuyu's chakra, piercing her with a purple chain to take 9 tails and 8 tails in her. But Izanagi always stopped it.
As he was cleaved 7 times, Godbito felt his body start to break down. His chakra was becoming unstable.
No…! I cannot lose here!
Godbito clasped his hands, his expression ferocious. SHINRA TENSEI!
Tsuyu might have been able to use Abyssal Repulsion to show off, but she just Flying Raijin away, wondering if Godbito had gone senile.
A kilometer wide area was destroyed, but Tsuyu remained unaffected as she stood looking at him.
"Why won't you die…!" Godbito screamed, his whole body shaking.
Just then, out of nowhere…
Pierce! Everyone watching from afar gasped in shock, a black hand pierced Godbito's heart. Even he didn't expect and didn't use intangibility in time.
"You… why?" Godbito looked behind him.
"Was it Madara…?" Godbito almost forgot Black Zetsu was Madara's will. But even then, Madara himself gave a green light for him to continue the plan on his own just now! So why!
"Hnhnhn… no. It's for Mother." Black Zetsu smiled evilly.
"AHHH!" Godbito screamed as his body turned into a blob of white flesh, changing. A big burst of chakra suddenly exploded out of the ground, the huge amount even destroyed the field.
From the flesh, a woman in white robe formed. A pair of Byakugan in her eyes, a Rinnesharingan in her forehead, hair as long as Tsuyu's. The chakra emitting from her caused even the air to shake with terror.
"Kurama… is that…" Tsuyu felt her heart palpitating, even fear.
Kaguya…!
"Sh*t…" Tsuyu cursed, her body shaky slightly, her heart wasn't calming down. Godbito's Chimera Technique that boosted his base stats and made a perfect vessel for Kaguya made up just barely enough for Kaguya's resurrection even without Gyuki and Kyubi's chakra! Even Hagoromo didn't expect it!
Can I really… do this…
Tsuyu felt threatened just from feeling her existence. Her Eyes Creature trembled in fear and all ran away to return to her body seeing her endless chakra and pressure. Everyone still in the vicinity looked from afar unable to move their eyes away, their hearts unable to stop its rapid beating.
Tsu-chan… Naruto bit his lips, he took steps forward to help her, but Sasuke held his arm.
He shook his head, saying that in this battle, Tsuyu had to fight them alone.
Naruto had tears in his eyes.
Why am I so useless… Why?
Hagoromo appeared right in front of the two seeing it's time, stunning them. In their minds, each of them were briefed about what's happening.
Naruto may not have 9 tails chakra, but his own would be enough. He also housed 1 to 7 tails and 9 tails previously and gained their support. The remainder of the chakra, even if it was little, still existed inside of him.
"This time, I need you two to save the world, and seal my Mother. As long as both the Sun and Moon seal touched her at the same time, the Six Path Chibaku Tensei would be activated. And she would be sealed once more…"
"I… I will save the world, and help Tsu-chan…!" Golden light flickered around Naruto, there were no chakra robes, but his eyes turned golden, with a rectangular slit of Sage Mode. 9 truth seeking orb appeared behind him along with a staff made of Kekkei Mora. Hagoromo gave a tad more chakra to Naruto to make up for his missing chakra amount. But even without 9 tails, he had been living with Kurama for years, increasing his own base chakra by hundreds of times more than a regular person.
"I understand." Sasuke opened his eyes, one of them turned into 6 tomoe Rinnegan!
Sakura looked at both of them, their chakra almost turned into a qualitative difference from before. The power of Sage of Six Path chakra ran in their veins.
You two were always ahead of me…
Sakura looked solemn.
"But why not give them to Tsu-chan…" Naruto asked the important question. Because in his cognition, if Tsuyu was given all this she might do better than both of them.
"You both were reincarnations of my sons, I place my hopes on you two…"
That was the first reason. Second, after seeing Tsuyu turn into a tyrant to rule the world once, he wouldn't want that to happen again.
Third, he wanted to say she was… a foreign soul. He had consulted with the Great Toad Sage before, back when Naruto, the newest reincarnation of Ashura was born.
But he was shocked that there's another born alongside him. A twin that, as if, wasn't supposed to exist. Tsuyu was born. The Toad Sage once said it was impossible to see her future nor predict anything. As if he was looking at nothing.
Hagoromo couldn't feel connection to her either, as all his descendants should be connected to him through chakra. It was a very mysterious thing. He suspects she was a 'foreign' soul. Though, perhaps at some point Tsuyu had fully become a part of this world, through the bonds she made, the connections she formed, and even worship bound her in this world truly.
He felt uneasy at the idea of giving her his chakra. As if his instinct told him something was off. It wasn't her personality or what she might do, that was Hagoromo's own personal bias. But what's definitely not his own bias was how he felt her existence carried something dangerous alongside her. Though most of it left unsaid since it was just his gut feelings.
"Now go. Seal my Mother."
Hagoromo looked at them solemnly. For the first time in all reincarnations, these two didn't fight too seriously and had reached understanding. Indra too, gained friends and learned to trust.
"Okay super grandpa Sage! We will save the world!" Naruto clenched his fist, looking toward Tsuyu's direction as she and Kaguya had a stare off at each other.
Tsu-chan… this time, I will help you.
