Chapter 23 - Kurama's Plan

"Hmm! You are not wrong. But, what're you gonna do next?"

Kurama asked.

"Of course, I am going to sleep."

Naruto pointed at the window and said.

"It's already evening."

He went to the kitchen and made himself a simple lunch. Due to those memories, he at least knew how to cook rice, miso soup, and a fried egg.

Kurama didn't say anything. Instead, he went to sleep, or rather started reorganizing those memories.

After all, his future self did send him a lot of those memories.

Many of them were techniques Naruto had seen in the Seal of Scrolls.

Some of them were even forbidden techniques, such as Flying Raijin and Impure Reincarnation Jutsu.

Since Naruto was planning on training hard, he needed to make sure he could help Naruto.

Otherwise, he was bound to die.

Not only were those Otsutsuki powerful, but they could also kill him permanently. Because he was born from Natural Energy.

If the Earth were completely exhausted, there would be no Natural Energy for rebirth.

Not just him, but also other Tailed Beasts.

Hagoromo had intentionally done this to make sure they would work together with humans to survive.

At least, Kurama believed that to be the case. He could also be wrong; it could simply be a result of the Six Paths Yin-Yang Release.

Tailed Beasts were unique. They were extremely powerful on their own, but they could also be controlled easily by powerful beings.

Of course, if a Tailed Beast was given sentience and an Otsutsuki's power, he could also become someone like Jura.

Just the thought of Jura made Kurama shiver.

At least, Ten-Tails was only superior to him due to its innate advantage. But if he combined his strength with Naruto, he could fight and defeat Ten-Tails.

But Jura was a beast on another level. He was sure that only if Naruto received Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra alongside his Chakra, he could fight Jura.

And, at the same time, Naruto's base strength should be equal to his peak.

Otherwise, it would be impossible face someone like Jura.

Not only because Jura was essentially an immortal, but also because he had an innate advantage against them.

Wood Release!

Although they could potentially stop Code, there was a chance of Jura being born from another of the Otsutsuki.

After all, the creation of Jura was a mistake.

Mistakes could happen at any moment.

So, he wanted to devise a proper plan for Naruto to grow stronger. Naruto received Hagoromo's blessing, but this wasn't exactly permanent.

Naruto didn't receive permanent access to Six Paths Senjutsu, nor did he receive the power to create Truth Seeking Orb.

On the other hand, Toneri, who had only awakened Tenseigan, was able to use the Truth Seeking Orb.

Although those Truth Seeking Orbs were much weaker, they were something that only Naruto could touch.

Simply because Naruto had once received Six Paths Senjutsu.

But without the ability to create them, Naruto was basically fighting fused-Momoshiki and Jigen using Pseudo Six Paths Mode.

It was Pseudo Six Paths Mode because he would create a link between Naruto and other Tailed Beasts using his Chakra.

But since it was just a long-distance link, the amount of chakra received by Kurama was far less.

Not only that, but it also lacked the Chakra of the Ten Tails Husk. Although it was just an exterior left after Hagoromo separated its chakra to create Nine Tailed Beasts.

It was still something that possessed a unique Chakra, belonging only to the Ten Tails.

That was what Naruto lacked.

Hagoromo's Senjutsu did help him replace that chakra, but since it wasn't permanent, Naruto lost true Six Paths Mode after the Fourth Great Ninja War.

That's why Kurama had a plan.

From those memories, he knew if he wanted to keep Naruto safe, he must get stronger.

But for the Tailed Beasts, getting stronger wasn't the same as for Ninjas.

In fact, with those memories and Chakra, the current Kurama had the traces of the Six Paths, which meant he was almost as strong as a complete Kurama, if not stronger.

But this was nothing compared to those Otsutsuki.

So, the only way for him to get stronger was to devour a Ten-Tails.

That's right! He planned to devour the Juvenile Ten-Tails that Isshiki had and grow stronger.

But it wasn't going to be easy, considering their enemy was Isshiki.

More importantly, he needed to create a perfect method to devour the Ten Tails without replacing his true self.

Otherwise, he would just be turning himself into another Ten-Tails. That wasn't his intention.

So, for him, this was just a long-term plan.

For the short-term plan, he wanted Naruto to get stronger.

There were three ways for Naruto to get stronger.

At least, in his mind, these three ways were the ideas that his future self had devised.

First was Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

Second was Wood Release and Steam Release.

Third was a bit unique but equally interesting, Ice Release.

Because of his large Chakra Capacity and Sage Mode, both Ice Release and Wood Release could produce powerful effects in Naruto's hands.

But the Steam Release was also important since it was a Taijutsu-driven Kekkei Genkai.

As for Naruto's Chakra natures, it was no longer a problem.

The future self sent that Chakra to them. This Chakra not only held a small portion of the real Six Paths power but also all Chakra Natures.

Because this Chakra would only be a temporary power-up in Naruto's hands, the Six Paths Chakra merged with him.

On the other hand, Chakra Natures merged with Naruto.

So, not only did Naruto have all seven Chakra natures, but also different Kekkei Genkai.

Of course, he still needed to practice and master them.

But compared to Lava Release and Magnet Release, Kurama found that Ice Release could be much more powerful for Naruto at the current stage.

Of course, both Magnet Release and Lava Release were powerful, but there was a versatility in Ice Release that other releases didn't possess.

And since he didn't want Naruto to spread out his training time in different things, he firmly believed Ice Release would be a better choice.

A/N- So, what do you guys think? What are the crazy Kekkei Genkai you think Naruto should possess?

Remember, you can only choose the elemental ones.
