JST Chapter 254: Welcome Back, Goddess
🕑 Added 2025-04-21 20:18:02 +0000 UTC[Final Bond (Senju Tobirama) Completed! You have acquired the Ultimate Talent: Kazuki and Tobirama!]
Kazuki and Tobirama – You permanently gain double the chakra, physical strength, soul strength, and all other base attributes of Senju Tobirama. Your Senju bloodline is further purified. When casting any of Tobirama’s signature jutsu, the chakra cost is greatly reduced and the power doubled!
[Final Bond (Heart of Kirigakure) Completed! You have acquired the Ultimate Talent: Ocean Contract!]
Ocean Contract – You have formed a pact with the sea. The power of the ocean is yours to command. The closer you are to the sea, the stronger your Water Release becomes.
While immersed in the ocean, your Water Release techniques cost no chakra to cast, and the rate at which you gather natural energy from ocean currents is dramatically increased.
The upper limits of energy absorption and current manipulation from the sea depend on the maximum chakra and natural energy your body can contain.
Kazuki blinked.
Now he truly was a god of the ocean—the First Mizukage, Kazuki-sama, invincible within the ocean currents!
Unlimited command over the power of the sea, immense absorption of natural energy from the ocean...
As long as Kazuki’s body could endure it, the merciful and generous sea would grant him everything!
Even the Ten Tails back then, after producing a chakra fruit, had only managed to absorb a portion of the natural energy from the surface of the planet…
Yet the ocean still held endless, boundless power.
“It’s not time to let my guard down just yet…”
Though somewhat delighted by the effects of the Ocean Contract, Kazuki steadied his thoughts and began to analyze.
The contract might have grandly declared—“As much as you need, I shall provide!”
But the problem was that Kazuki was still, ultimately, flesh and blood. The human limit was there, inescapable.
More importantly, he lacked one critical ability.
Currently in the Shinobi World, Sage Techniques like the one Jiraiya had learned could only be considered a way of borrowing the power of natural energy…
Much like how Kazuki had borrowed and redirected Kaguya’s chaotic power to resurrect Tobirama.
It was only temporary use—it couldn’t be stored in the body. If mishandled, it could even cause harm, such as petrification.
The sages from the Three Great Sage Regions, however, seemed to possess methods for actually integrating natural energy into their own bodies. Although there’s no definitive proof, their exceptionally long lifespans hinted at the possibility.
But the only beings truly capable of absorbing natural energy on a large scale were the Ōtsutsuki’s Divine Trees—
In other words, the Ten Tails…
Capable of absorbing natural energy on a planetary scale!
Even so, the absorption rate wasn’t all that fast—it took millennia to produce a single chakra fruit.
“I don’t really need to worry about absorption speed. If my body is strong enough, I might even outpace the Ten Tails…”
“After all, the Ten Tails was forcefully leeching energy, while I’ve signed a contract… The natural energy isn’t being stolen—it’s being offered willingly…”
"The Ocean Contract may appear powerful, but ultimately, it’s just the icing on the cake. What truly needs to improve is my own upper limit. If this contract were given to someone else, it might simply produce a more powerful Third Mizukage."
Kazuki pondered. The key to further improvement lies within the Ōtsutsuki themselves!
The physical constitution of the Ōtsutsuki was naturally overwhelming—each one of them inherently had high compatibility with natural energy.
Especially the imminent arrival of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya within Kazuki’s body…
She had consumed a chakra fruit condensed from the Shinobi World’s own energies. Compared to the rest of the Ōtsutsuki clan, Kaguya should, in theory, be even more adept at handling this planet’s natural energy.
“Further purify my bloodline, increase the maximum natural energy my body can contain, and discover a method to convert natural energy into personal strength…”
To put it simply—make myself into a humanoid Ten Tails.
An enhanced version, of course.
Except for Konohagakure, Kazuki had already set the goals to trigger the final bonds with the remaining five great shinobi villages: Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Ocean.
These four powers represented the planet’s four fundamental natural forces!
For a moment, Kazuki felt a strange illusion—
These contracts with natural forces made him feel as if he were establishing a bond with the planet itself. Only the goal had been projected onto the different shinobi villages, and the hearts of various groups in the Shinobi World had become the medium for it.
Starting from the Ocean Contract, Kazuki was gradually stepping into a role akin to 'Chosen by Fate', or even 'Spokesperson of the Planet'.
Therefore, Kazuki couldn’t focus solely on the Ōtsutsuki—he also had to monitor the mentalities and movements of the nobodies scattered across the Shinobi World.
Both hands must grip tightly, and both must be firm!
Having clarified his overall direction, Kazuki slightly raised his gaze and looked toward the Rinne Sharingan with Nine Tomoe within his body.
After feeding it a portion of chakra from the Nine Tailed Beasts—
Just as Senju Tobirama had seen, deep within that eye, the silhouette of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had already begun to emerge.
[Hope of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya] – You have obtained a fragment of chakra containing part of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s sealed vitality. By infusing it with Tailed Beast chakra, Senjutsu chakra, and other high-density energies, once it reaches a certain threshold, it will resonate with the original body.
[Lonely Soulmate] – You may designate a target. Based on the level of intimacy and trust between you and the target, you will gradually gain the ability to sense their emotions—and eventually, eavesdrop on their thoughts.
As well as the aura of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
These were the 'gold coins' dropped by Black Zetsu—the third son of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
[Greedy Snake Soul] – When you actively possess someone, or when a soul, consciousness, or chakra-based entity resides within your body, you will gradually drain their strength. Based on the duration of possession and the target’s mental state, there is a chance to brand a soul seal on them.
[Shark Guard] – Your ninjutsu and melee attacks gain a chakra-absorbing effect.
[Ocean Confusion] – Your charm increases toward lonely female beings who yearn for companionship or emotional support.
[Wakatsuki] – Corrupts and ignites chakra… and absorbs a proportional amount of it.
These were the chakra-absorbing special talents currently residing in Kazuki’s body—gifts from all corners of the Shinobi World.
A true arms exhibition.
“To summon Kaguya, I’ll need to inject more chakra into it…”
Kazuki calculated the amount required for Kaguya’s consciousness to manifest, then split the remaining Tailed Beast chakra into three equal parts.
The first portion of Tailed Beast chakra used to awaken Kaguya was clean—untouched, without any additions.
It was a greeting gift. Kazuki had no intention of hiding malice in it. First impressions were always important…
However, the second and third portions—those were deliberately 'seasoned'.
Kazuki didn’t plan to offer them to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya directly, but this Rabbit Goddess, so obsessed with chakra, would certainly take them by force.
And if she took them, well—that couldn’t be blamed on Kazuki. It would be Kaguya’s own fault for being so reckless.
Kazuki infused natural energy and Wakatsuki, applying its chakra-absorbing cursed flames like jam—coating every thread of Tailed Beast chakra.
“Go ahead and eat, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. You won’t even know what hit you.”
Tobirama’s dōjutsu never disappointed—truly effective.
Even though Ōtsutsuki Kaguya still held an exalted status, without the power of the Ten Tails, her absolute strength had fallen short.
Now merged with Senjutsu, and suppressed by the variety of special talents within Kazuki’s body—and shaken mentally by such an uncanny resurrection—Kazuki felt confident that his Sage-enhanced dōjutsu would take effect.
All he needed was an opening…
Once Ōtsutsuki Kaguya began dropping 'gold coins', the balance would tip—Kazuki would absorb her chakra faster and faster.
The tides of offense and defense would reverse!
What’s more, Kazuki had long prepared a series of grand performances to break down Kaguya’s mental defenses.
All those she had once feared—would appear before her one by one. And by then, the only one left by her side would be Kazuki.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, the Ōtsutsuki clan on the Moon, and even Black Zetsu…
Kazuki would make it undeniably clear—
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had returned to the Shinobi World—within the body of Uchiha Kazuki!
Kazuki poured the entire portion of Tailed Beast chakra meant to awaken her into the Rinne Sharingan…
At the same time, he used the aura of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya released by Black Zetsu to broadcast the Rabbit Goddess’s return across the entire Shinobi World!
And finally—
The Rinne Sharingan with Nine Tomoe, having absorbed enough chakra, erupted with a brilliant red glow!
Then, the entire eye shattered.
From within it, a white-haired beauty slowly emerged.
But despite her magnificent appearance, her eyes were filled with madness, gloom, and solitude.
“Where… am I?”
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya first felt the deep weakness within her—far from her former peak. She then scanned Kazuki’s body and saw a white-haired young man frowning as he manipulated clusters of Tailed Beast chakra…
Sensing that familiar, enticing taste—
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya instantly pounced toward Kazuki like a starving traveler!
“Chakra—this is all my chakra! Give it to me!”
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya grabbed a clump of Tailed Beast chakra—already laced with Wakatsuki and various other special talents—and began devouring it ravenously.
“Hey, beautiful lady, I don’t know how you ended up inside my body…”
Kazuki frantically waved his hands, quickly speaking up: “You can’t eat that! I’ve treated it with my dōjutsu—it might harm you!”
Chakra, harmful to her?
Though in a severely weakened state, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya still gave a haughty smile. Without a hint of hesitation, she picked up another ball of Tailed Beast chakra and bit into it, all while glancing up at Kazuki with curious eyes.
Who was this white-haired man?
