Chapter 515: Chapter 515 The Second Follower
"What are you trying to do?"
Kaguya, now reduced to pure consciousness, feels her awareness being stripped away.
She looks at Sasuke in confusion.
If he wanted to kill her, he could have done so directly.
Why go through such a complicated process? Does he intend to torture her?
But Uchiha Sasuke doesn't seem like someone with such tendencies.
As Sasuke turns and heads back to the shinobi world, he doesn't respond. Instead, he locks onto Black Zetsu's location.
Black Zetsu, now seemingly dejected after his long-planned revival of Kaguya ended in failure, remains determined.
As the embodiment of Kaguya's will, Black Zetsu will never give up. Even if it takes thousands of years,
he will continue to strive to revive Kaguya.
But Sasuke won't give him that chance.
Finding Black Zetsu, Sasuke immediately takes control of him, using the Deity Gates's power to inject Kaguya's consciousness into him.
He then selects a White Zetsu corpse and merges Black Zetsu with it,
forming a new body for Kaguya.
However, this new Kaguya has black hair and skin that looks no different from a normal human's.
She appears to be an ordinary woman.
Feeling her new body, Kaguya is overwhelmed with emotion.
She looks up at Sasuke. "Why are you doing this...?"
"Considering all you've done for the shinobi world, though your methods are debatable, your intentions were good."
"As a reward, I'll let you live as an ordinary person in this world."
"Live out an ordinary life!"
Hearing this, tears well up in Kaguya's eyes.
For her, nothing compares to the idea of living an ordinary life.
As a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, she has grown weary.
Burdened by the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, she will always be hunted by the clan.
Because of the innate connection between Ōtsutsuki members, she can never escape, no matter where she hides.
If she can truly live out her life as an ordinary person, that would be more than enough.
But Kaguya is still worried.
"Thank you!"
"But the Ōtsutsuki clan will come for you eventually."
"Though you seem to have undergone some special changes, you still carry the Ōtsutsuki aura. You'll be targeted..."
Sasuke has already thought of a solution to this problem.
After all, he needs to kill an Ōtsutsuki member, and he won't wait for them to come to him.
Instead, he plans to seek them out.
"Don't worry about the rest."
Hearing Sasuke's firm tone, Kaguya sighs. Indeed, Sasuke's strength is such that she doesn't need to worry too much.
In other words, if even Sasuke can't handle it, then this world is doomed!
As Kaguya ponders this, Naruto suddenly flies toward them at incredible speed.
With the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan and the chakra of all nine tailed beasts,
Naruto's aura is overwhelmingly powerful.
Kaguya is shocked as she looks at Naruto.
His appearance has changed slightly, showing signs of Ōtsutsuki traits.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto looks at Sasuke, who in turn observes Naruto but says nothing.
Instead, Sasuke steps aside and approaches someone else.
Haku, who has been freed from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, is currently tending to the Mizukage.
"Haku! I'm giving you two choices: follow me or continue living your current life."
Haku, with his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, is now a crucial figure in Kirigakure.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will likely become the next Mizukage.
Haku looks at Sasuke, who has suddenly appeared.
Feeling Sasuke's immense aura, Haku forces a bitter smile.
'Sasuke-sama... keeps getting stronger, seemingly without any limits.'
'He keeps growing stronger and stronger...'
Being invited by Sasuke again fills Haku with excitement.
But then he wonders, what can he even offer Sasuke now?
Sasuke shines like the sun, while Haku can't even compare to the faintest star.
Thinking this, Haku shakes his head. "Sasuke-sama, if you need my power, I am happy to serve you."
"But what can I even do for you now?"
Hearing this, Sasuke pauses.
The gap between them has made Haku shrink back.
If he chooses Haku, this situation might repeat in the future.
While Sasuke doesn't expect everyone who follows him to keep up with his power,
if they give up on themselves, they become useless to him.
"I understand."
"I hope you can live a happy life."
With that, Sasuke disappears.
Meanwhile, Jūgo, who is resting, suddenly looks up.
Sasuke and Kimimaro approach, followed closely by Naruto, who has something to say to Sasuke.
But Sasuke doesn't seem to have time for him.
"Jūgo!"
"Do you still want to follow me?"
Jūgo is stunned by the question and hesitates for a moment.
But after glancing at Kimimaro beside him, who remains silent but resolute,
Jūgo nods. "No matter what, I will always follow Sasuke-sama!"
Good!
This is the attitude Sasuke wants. No matter how vast the power gap,
as long as they don't give up, Sasuke can find a way.
If they give up on themselves, then there's truly no hope.
Satisfied, Sasuke nods.
"Then this power is perfect for you."
He takes out the Ōtsutsuki blood extracted from Kaguya.
Before Jūgo can react, Sasuke activates the Deity Gates's power,
beginning the process of fusing the Ōtsutsuki blood with Jūgo.
Like before, if left unchecked, the Ōtsutsuki blood would erase Jūgo's consciousness.
So Sasuke must intervene, guiding the blood to primarily enhance Jūgo's Sage Transformation.
However, unlike Kimimaro, after absorbing the Ōtsutsuki power, Jūgo develops distinct Ōtsutsuki traits.
His eyes transform into the Byakugan,
and his hair turns white, his skin a pale gray.
He now resembles an Ōtsutsuki clan member.
In contrast, Sasuke and Kimimaro show fewer Ōtsutsuki traits.
Sasuke has none, while Kimimaro only has white hair and the Byakugan.
It seems the stronger the bloodline fusion, the fewer the traits, while weaker fusions result in more pronounced features.
But it doesn't matter.
For Jūgo, the Ōtsutsuki bloodline has greatly enhanced his power.
He also gains red chakra, and due to his unique physique, he can slowly recover it by absorbing natural energy,
though not as quickly as Sasuke.
Now, Jūgo can also use red chakra for direct attacks...
