RNP Chapter 328 The Connection Between Tailed Beasts
Chapter 328 The Connection Between Tailed Beasts
"...It absorbs faster within the framework of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, but isn't this too fast?"
"Could it be that someone copied me and sealed Jiraiya, and then sealed Naruto as well? Even if they did, the seal shouldn't be taking effect until now."
"Or is Naruto actually a legendary succubus who can drain a person dry..."
Orochimaru analyzed the situation carefully and finally decided to try it out.
"Second Generation Lord, please."
Orochimaru nodded to Tobirama Senju behind him, and then began to examine Naruto.
Orochimaru's idea was that if he was at risk of being drained, the Second Hokage should cut off his arm as quickly as possible.
Nothing happened.
It's perfectly fine.
"Stop picking at it. There must be a connection between the tailed beast chakras. He absorbed part of the Eight-Tails' chakra, and this part of the Eight-Tails' chakra can be considered as a gift from the Eight-Tails."
After all, Naruto is the boy who was "shouting the names of nine wild beasts" in the prophecies of the Great Toad Sage and the Sage of Six Paths.
Bai Mo had already guessed the reason and said it directly.
Incidentally, Bai Mo also recounted the words spoken by the Sage of Six Paths during the original "finale" period.
Bai Mo had already spoken about the overall future direction.
However, Bai Mo could not possibly mention all the details.
The words spoken by the Sage of Six Paths are a detail.
"Because Naruto at that time had the chakra of all the tailed beasts in his body, the Sage of Six Paths had Kurama stay in Naruto's body as a liaison between the nine tailed beasts, so that the nine tailed beasts could communicate through this relay station."
When the One-Tailed and Eight-Tailed creatures encountered trouble, the Nine-Tailed creature sensed it immediately and informed Naruto.
"There's such an effect? That makes sense. The nine tailed beasts are originally one entity, so it's normal for some of them to be different."
As Orochimaru listened, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He had a new idea.
But we still need to confirm this.
"Can all the tailed beasts communicate this directly, or is it only the Nine-Tails that can, or is it only possible when Naruto, who has gathered the chakra of all the tailed beasts, acts as a relay station?"
Orochimaru asked Bai Mo a very serious question.
"It's the last one."
Bai Mo provided the answer.
Before the finale, there was no such connection between the tailed beasts, including Kurama.
All of this happened after Naruto fulfilled the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, during the battle between the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails against the other seven tailed beasts, learned the names of all the tailed beasts, and completed a fist bump.
"I understand now..."
As Orochimaru finished speaking, he prepared to leave and hurry to the laboratory to get started.
"Wait a moment."
Gaara stopped Orochimaru, "Aren't we just going to leave those two alone?"
"They're both perfectly healthy, no problems at all. We'll consider getting their eyes replaced and unlocking the Eternal Eye once Sasuke wakes up—oh, and by the way, we need to move them to a separate room so they don't start fighting as soon as they wake up."
Orochimaru, reminded of the situation, made some arrangements.
After placing Sasuke next door, Orochimaru looked at Gaara: "I almost forgot, you're the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast. Why don't you also give Naruto Shukaku's power?"
"How should I give it?"
Gaara regretted saying it as soon as it was spoken.
How else can I give?
"Let me do it."
Gaara steeled himself and walked to the bedside.
"Shukaku, please."
[No way! Why is it that Kurama (the Nine-Tails) gets to be the leader and the liaison, while I'm relegated to being just a passerby, a member of the crowd?]
[In my opinion, it would be better to choose three to manage the tailed beasts. I'll reluctantly be the eldest, Gyūki the second eldest, and as for the third eldest, let Kurama be the one.]
"..."
Gaara remained silent.
There are only nine tailed beasts in total, so you need to choose three masters, right?
How bad is the relationship between the One-Tailed Beast and the Nine-Tailed Beast?
Gaara began to worry about his future relationship with Naruto.
The combination of a Jinchūriki and a Tailed Beast is like a blended family with divorce and children. If the children disagree, the marriage is bound to be unhappy.
Just as Gaara was pondering how to persuade Shukaku, Shukaku suddenly reconciled with himself.
[Huh? No, what did you want me to do again? Give my power to Kurama? How? Hehehe, is it like that? Okay, okay, Kurama, I'm coming in—]
A clump of sand emerged from Gaara's body.
This is not Gaara's own sand, but a manifestation of Shukaku's chakra.
Pfft.
Sand got in.
Silence filled the room.
After a while, Orochimaru checked and found that the sand had indeed disappeared.
Naruto also absorbed Shukaku's power.
"Shukaku said that it has been able to contact Kurama in this way, but Kurama is not responding, either because it is unconscious or for some other reason."
Gaara listened to the voice in his mind and relayed the situation.
"Could it be that Shukaku has been constantly mocking Kurama, and Kurama is simply ignoring the messages and too lazy to reply?"
Bai Mo proposed a possibility.
"..."
Gaara remained silent.
It really is.
As a Jinchūriki, he could clearly hear Shukaku's chattering.
[What does that mean? Does he mean that the Nine-Tails can hear me and is deliberately not replying?]
[Shukaku: I'm an idiot]
[Nine Lama: ...]
[Nine-Ra: You finally figured it out.]
[Shukaku: This weakling Kurama, isn't it satisfying! Say something!]
[......]
"That's fine."
Gaara awkwardly announced that he had succeeded.
"Then there's no problem."
"The ability to receive messages and signals means the transmission of chakra. This is the 'Eight Thousand Spears,' which is used only among the Tailed Beasts."
Orochimaru put forward his idea, which is the basic theory, but its application still requires practice.
As Orochimaru said, the tailed beast chakra within Naruto is different from that of Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
Naruto can both use the strongest power of the tailed beasts and maintain communication.
Even during the Boruto era, Naruto was still able to use the Lava Release: Rasengan.
This shows that the chakra of these tailed beasts is neither a consumable nor an unapproved form of consumption like that of Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
This kind of use is somewhat similar to "borrowing power".
Speaking of borrowing power, Orochimaru thought of the Otsutsuki Rising Machine he made for Hanabi.
The two borrow different forces.
The borrowing of the Otsutsuki Rising Device refers to the fact that the Tenseigan mode is temporary, and the power within it is still independent, ownerless, or rather, belongs to Hanabi herself.
However, Naruto's borrowing of power came from other tailed beasts that had a master.
This connection gave Orochimaru another idea to use.
The biggest problem with Heavy Particle Mode is that it requires a huge amount of chakra. Even tailed beasts can't sustain it for long and must stop immediately. Once it burns out completely, it will cause the tailed beast to die.
So, what if a Jinchuriki could borrow the chakra of all the other Tailed Beasts when using Heavy Particle Mode?
Can the power and duration be significantly increased?
