Chapter 342: The Real Truth and Identity of Akihara Kagura!
Chapter 342: The Real Truth and Identity of Akihara Kagura!
Everyone present was at a loss for what to do.
After the terrifying Rabbit Goddess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was resurrected, the ninjas on the scene were all intimidated by her aura. Why was Akihara Kagura unfazed?
This guy...
How could he still be eating fruit at a time like this?
"That is..."
"A chakra fruit..."
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki murmured, uttering the name of the blood-red fruit.
The resurrected Rabbit Goddess's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a shadow flickered across her otherwise emotionless face.
She was the only one in the ninja world who had ever seen a chakra fruit!
For a thousand years, only one chakra fruit had ever appeared in the ninja world, and she had already consumed it, becoming the progenitor of chakra in the ninja world!In a thousand years, the only God Tree capable of bearing chakra fruit had already split into the Nine Tailed Beasts and the Gedo Statue. How could there be another chakra fruit?
"Is that really a chakra fruit?"
Black Zetsu, hidden in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's sleeve, stared at Akihara Kagura in shock, its mind going blank: "Wait... How could there be a chakra fruit in the ninja world when the God Tree has already turned into the Gedo Statue!"
"What is a chakra fruit?" Haruno Sakura asked reflexively.
"A chakra fruit..." Black Zetsu's voice was eerie and hoarse, even somewhat heavy: "It is the fruit borne by the God Tree after absorbing the world's energy, and it is the source of chakra in this world!"
"A thousand years ago, mother ate the chakra fruit borne by the God Tree, which led to the appearance of chakra in the ninja world, enabling all of you to use chakra!"
"The chakra fruit..."
"It is also the primordial substance of this world..."
"Akihara Kagura..."
Black Zetsu felt it had understood the situation, but it knew it had definitely been played by Akihara Kagura. It asked in a somber tone:
"Who exactly are you?"
Compared to Black Zetsu's questioning, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's reaction was more straightforward. Her body instantly entered a combat stance, ready to leave at any moment!
Even though Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was not well-versed in human emotions, she realized that her resurrection might be part of a conspiracy upon seeing the chakra fruit!
Could this be...
An attack from outsiders?
"Don't be hasty..."
"This is a long story..."
Akihara Kagura raised his hand, and an invisible barrier emerged from his body, instantly forming a sealed space in the area.
Akihara Kagura continued to munch on the chakra fruit, muttering slowly, "I'm a bit thirsty, can you wait until I finish eating?"
"..."
The ninjas present had dark lines on their foreheads.
Was this really the time to be eating fruit?
"..."
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's figure stopped in place, a hint of worry in her eyes as she attempted to activate her unique Kekkei Genkai, the Rinne Sharingan.
Once the Rinne Sharingan was activated, she could instantly transport herself and anyone else to her own unique space, where she was the absolute deity!
However...
The activation of this Kekkei Genkai failed.
This meant that Akihara Kagura's chakra and techniques were stronger than hers, rendering her Rinne Sharingan ineffective at this moment!
Crunch... crunch...
Akihara Kagura ate the fruit with a crisp sound.
This fruit was a product of the revived Ten Tails within him.
Hatake Kakashi's chakra had been completely absorbed, leaving him powerless and collapsed on the sea surface, though no one paid attention to him at this moment.
Akihara Kagura had not expected that after the Ten Tails within him absorbed Hatake Kakashi's chakra, its revival process would finally be completed, allowing it to provide him with a chakra fruit.
This was inevitable...
After the Ten Tails matured within him, the fruit could no longer be hidden inside, so he might as well eat it cleanly at this moment.
Moreover...
Other powers were continuously flowing in.
A series of system prompts sounded somewhat noisy.
[System Prompt]: [You have a new superior (Kaguya Ōtsutsuki), rewarded with a new trait: Progenitor of Chakra!]
[Progenitor of Chakra (This is the source of chakra, with nearly limitless chakra within the body, an immortal life form, wielding god-like powers!

[Nature (The legendary Kekkei Genkai, enables control over natural environmental changes, like thunder in winter and ice in summer, akin to a god!)]
In just a few seconds...
Akihara Kagura's body underwent a drastic transformation!
The emergence of the [Chakra Progenitor], [Tenseigan], [Ten-Tails Jinchuriki], and [Nine Tomoe Rinnegan] made Akihara Kagura realize the immense power he had gained. The chakra within him seemed almost infinite, even leaking out!
At this moment...
Akihara Kagura had acquired three states of power.
[Progenitor Mode], [Six Paths Mode], and [Tenseigan Mode].
"I'm sorry..."
Akihara Kagura took a deep breath, his aura surged, and the tangible chakra quickly gathered behind him!
"My power..."
Akihara Kagura's fingers tightly gripped the icy chair, his fingers instantly digging five holes into the hard ice armrest: "It might be a bit uncontrollable..."
Simultaneously...
Akihara Kagura had received too much power.
This power should have been obtained in phases, but it was unlocked at the same time, causing his chakra to rapidly transform!
Whether it was the Chakra Progenitor, Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, or the Chakra Fruit, any one of these powers would have been enough to transform Akihara Kagura's power. The combination of all three nearly overwhelmed his body!
Akihara Kagura's black hair slowly turned into long, snow-white hair, cascading over his shoulders, with chakra crystals continuously falling from his hair!
In Akihara Kagura's pupils, various top-tier ocular techniques appeared and disappeared, finally settling into a pair of crimson Nine Tomoe Rinnegan!
A black Truth-Seeking Orb appeared beside Akihara Kagura!
This Truth-Seeking Orb rapidly expanded into a black disk, resembling a black moon, floating behind Akihara Kagura's head!
The energy emitted by his chakra stirred the entire sea, causing a huge wave to roll towards Akihara Kagura, which instantly turned into ice, forming a massive crystal wave screen behind his icy chair!
A pair of crimson eyes...
Long, flowing white hair...
A black moon of Truth-Seeking Orb suspended behind him...
A giant wave screen frozen behind him...
At this moment...
Akihara Kagura looked like an apocalyptic god!
His terrifying chakra and appearance struck fear into everyone present, leaving them in disbelief!
Who exactly is this person?
What kind of power had this man been suppressing?
Until this moment, they had never seen Akihara Kagura reveal such an appearance. Now, Akihara Kagura seemed even more terrifying than when he had opened the Eighth Gate!
"Is it my illusion?"
Uzumaki Naruto couldn't believe his eyes, but the chakra aura he felt was real. He had never seen such terrifying chakra, making his teeth chatter: "Why do I feel... Kagura is stronger than Kaguya..."
"No..."
"It's not your illusion..."
Tobirama, known for his strong sensory abilities, was sweating profusely: "This kid's chakra... is something we can't comprehend... terrifying..."
Akihara Kagura...
Had been hiding such a powerful chakra!
This chakra was like the blazing sun in the sky, impossible to look at directly for fear of its overwhelming power; and like the abyss of the sea, terrifying to approach for fear of being crushed!
This kid...
Had never used this power before...
Only now did he reveal the terrifying chakra within him, a chakra that made resistance seem futile!
Both Tobirama, Tsunade, and Haruno Sakura felt the overwhelming pressure of the deep sea!
Even Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, who had received the Sage of Six Paths' gifts, were shaken by the chakra Akihara Kagura unintentionally released!
"The Eight Gates Released Formation wasn't his peak..."
Tobirama felt the air around him compressing under Akihara Kagura's chakra, making it hard to breathe: "This power... doesn't seem like something a human can possess..."
This isn't a power that humans can possess!
Even for ninjas, there should be limits!
Perhaps Uchiha Madara was already the limit for humans!
Akihara Kagura is now clearly on the same level as Kaguya Otsutsuki. How could such a thing happen? How could Akihara Kagura become so powerful? Everyone was filled with fear and contemplation!
Even Kaguya Otsutsuki, with her pale hand hidden in her sleeve, trembled slightly. She could see through Akihara Kagura's chakra better than anyone else and knew just how terrifying it was! The young man sitting on the ice chair...
Contained within him was a fearsome power that even she had never seen before! Black Zetsu, hidden in Kaguya Otsutsuki's sleeve, was trembling with fear, feeling it had made a grave mistake in reviving Kaguya alongside Akihara Kagura.
"This is a conspiracy... This is a conspiracy..."
Black Zetsu's body was shaking, and its usually hoarse voice was tinged with panic: "This is your conspiracy... Reviving mother was your conspiracy!"
This is a conspiracy!
This is Akihara Kagura's conspiracy! That bastard wants to use it to revive mother! Akihara Kagura, that bastard...
The extraterrestrial enemy Kaguya Otsutsuki has always been wary of!
"Akihara Kagura!"
Black Zetsu could no longer suppress its fear. It screamed in panic: "You are an outsider, you have never been a human of this land!"
Akihara Kagura is not a human of this land!
Akihara Kagura has never belonged to this ninja world; he has always been an outsider. Only an outsider could possess such powerful and terrifying strength!
Akihara Kagura...
Is a disguised extraterrestrial enemy!
"!!!"
All the ninjas present were visibly shocked! Tobirama suddenly recalled something Black Zetsu had mentioned during its fallout with Uchiha Madara. It and Kaguya wanted to fight against an extraterrestrial enemy!
Akihara Kagura...
Is he the extraterrestrial enemy? Has everything he's done been to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki?
"You've finally figured it out..."
Akihara Kagura slowly sat up straight, reached out to hold his forehead, and covered his face with his hand.
However...
Everyone could see the eerie smile at the corner of his mouth that his hand couldn't hide!
"The Hyuga clan's wooden plaque..."
Black Zetsu recalled why it had unwaveringly believed in Akihara Kagura, why it never doubted that Akihara Kagura was a ninja from this land!
"It's fake..."
Black Zetsu's voice turned sinister. Hidden in Kaguya Otsutsuki's sleeve, it spoke through gritted teeth: "The contents recorded on the Hyuga clan's wooden plaque are all fake!"
It is impossible for a descendant of the Uchiha clan to possess such power!
Because their bodies could never withstand the overwhelming chakra that Akihara Kagura possessed! Not even Hashirama could do it! Not even the Sage of the Six Paths, Kaguya Otsutsuki's son, could do it! The Hyuga clan's wooden plaque, which recorded Akihara Kagura as a branch member of the Uchiha clan, is all fake!
"All of it is fake!"
Black Zetsu gritted its teeth and revealed the truth it had discovered, its small eyes fixed on the daunting Akihara Kagura: "The contents on it were fabricated by you!"
It is fake!
It was all fabricated!
Everything is Akihara Kagura's conspiracy!
"Yes..."
A crimson light shone through Akihara Kagura's fingers!
It was an eye that no one dared to look at directly, the nine-tomoe Rinnegan. Even the slightest glimpse of that red color instilled fear!
Even Kaguya Otsutsuki, the ancestor of chakra, only had a nine-tomoe Rinnegan on her forehead, yet Akihara Kagura had two such eyes!
"However, only now do you understand?"
Akihara Kagura's smile remained, ignoring Black Zetsu's anger and fear. He spoke slowly: "The bark of the Senju clan is fake, the Sage of the Six Paths never left any information about you, it was only to make my knowledge of your existence seem reasonable..."
"The Hyuga clan's wooden plaque was also fabricated by me, to make you believe I was a descendant of the Uchiha clan, to make you think everything was under control, so you would confidently revive Kaguya Otsutsuki at this moment..."
"I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle me at this moment..."
"For this reason, I've been trying to avoid the revival of the Ten-Tails within me..."
Akihara Kagura spread his hand, revealing a warm smile to Black Zetsu and Kaguya Otsutsuki: "If it weren't for the Ten-Tails maturing and bearing fruit, I might have let you and Princess Kaguya be happy for a while longer..."
"See..."
"How kind I am to you…"
~~~
You're so kind I'm touch *fake tears*
