Obito was getting more and more excited.
Zetsu's face immediately darkened.
Now, Nagato was dead.
The Rinnegan was gone.
And without the Rinnegan, there was no summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
"That bastard Kurama changed everything," Zetsu cursed inwardly.
The chakra of the Ten Tails had been split into nine tailed beasts by the Sage of Six Paths. Now, the husk of the Ten Tails—the Gedo Statue—was in Kurama's possession.
So now, the root of everything lay with Kurama.
To bring the Infinite Tsukuyomi to fruition and resurrect Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, all hopes rested on Kurama.
Zetsu and Obito both understood this.
As the Nine Tails Jinchūriki, Kurama had reached a level that could only be described as perfect.
Obito had seen it himself back when he was still Kurama's student. He'd watched Kurama tap into the beast's full power—he'd seen him manifest a full-scale Nine Tails using chakra alone. That degree of mastery was proof enough. Kurama wasn't just any Jinchūriki; he was the ideal one.
They had always known Kurama was strong. But not this strong.
Even Nagato—born of the Uzumaki clan, infused with the Rinnegan and enhanced with Hashirama's cells—was decimated. Not just defeated, but utterly dismantled.
And that was despite Uzumaki vitality and the wood-style suppressive qualities of Hashirama's chakra—both of which were natural counters to tailed beasts.
But Nagato? Lost everything, down to the last shred of dignity.
Kurama's strength went far beyond their estimates.
At this point, it was clear—Nagato wasn't even a challenge.
Obito was already recalculating.
Zetsu, too, was silently plotting Kurama's next likely steps.
Now, both the Rinnegan and the Biju were under Kurama's control.
He was their new target.
Fortunately, both Zetsu and Obito had intel on Kurama's status and history.
Zetsu had waited thousands of years for the resurrection of his mother, Kaguya.
Waiting a little longer wasn't the problem. The real issue was hope—seeing it, and then having it snatched away.
That was unbearable.
Zetsu hated Kurama.
But more than that, he hated himself.
Hated that he had no power of his own.
Even though he was born of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, he inherited no strength—no Byakugan, no Rinnegan, not even a hint of her raw chakra.
Unlike Hagoromo and Hamura, Zetsu was born during the sealing of Kaguya, a desperate manifestation of her will—not her power.
If he had even a sliver of her strength, he wouldn't need to hide in the shadows, whispering lies into ears, rewriting clan scripts, or puppeteering shinobi from behind the scenes.
Obito turned to him. "Zetsu, should we head to Konoha directly?"
Zetsu shook his head. "Patience. You're far stronger than Nagato. But give it time. I have other methods."
Without the Rinnegan, there would be no Rinne Rebirth.
And without Rinne Rebirth, there would be no Madara revival.
They lingered in the ruins for a few minutes longer.
Then, Zetsu's form melded into the ground.
Obito slowly vanished into the swirl of space.
Once again, the desert returned to silence.
Kurama and Konan returned home.
After a little... quality time, the two of them settled.
The state of the shinobi world had become very clear:
The Land of Fire stood supreme.
Konan looked at Kurama with gentle curiosity.
"Lord Kurama, do you think there'll be another great war?"
For Konan, a woman forged by constant conflict in the Rain Village, peace was more than a dream—it was a necessity.
Kurama smirked and lightly tapped her nose.
"If there's gonna be war, I'll deal with it. If I say no war, there won't be any."
True peace is an illusion.
Small-scale skirmishes are inevitable.
But full-on war? That could be managed.
Three days passed.
In a quiet forest in the Land of Fire, Kurama lay atop the thick branch of an ancient tree.
It was time to begin the real work—integrating all the power he now held.
Each tailed beast didn't just possess massive chakra reserves. They had unique nature affinities and Kekkei Genkai.
Shukaku, the One Tail, had mastery over Wind and Earth Style—and Magnet Release.
Sunagakure's Magnet users were all descendants of Shukaku's influence.
Matatabi, the Two Tails, was steeped in Fire Release.
Isobu, the Three Tails, wielded Water and Wind—sometimes even Ice Release, influencing Kirigakure's bloodline techniques.
Son Goku, the Four Tails, carried Fire and Earth Release—Lava Release being its signature.
Kokuo, the Five Tails, bore Fire Release and Boil Release.
Saiken, the Six Tails, was known for its corrosive Steam Release.
Chomei, the Seven Tails, had unique scale powder and flight capabilities, though it lacked specific nature transformation.
Gyuki, the Eight Tails, and Kurama, the Nine Tails, were less about elemental finesse and more about overwhelming power.
But now, all that was within Kurama.
Even Shukaku's actual body had been absorbed.
He wasn't just the Nine Tails anymore.
He had become something more.
He was the Ten Tails.
The progenitor of chakra, the god of natural energy.
The original Ten Tails was a chaotic force—a beast of destruction.
But Kurama? Kurama was self-aware. He was in control.
He wasn't just a monster. He was a god.
In the entire shinobi history, only three people had ever become Ten Tails Jinchūriki.
The first was Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, who sealed the Ten Tails inside himself. The body became the Gedo Statue—locked away on the moon.
The second was Obito Uchiha. But he didn't have the complete beast—Eight Tails and Nine Tails were missing.
The third was Madara Uchiha. Closer to completion, but still incomplete—half of Nine Tails was with Naruto.
And Naruto, with Asura's power and the Sage's blessing, tapped into Six Paths Sage Mode.
But Kurama? Kurama now had everything.
All nine tailed beasts.
The Gedo Statue.
He was the actual Ten Tails Jinchūriki.
[Initiating fusion: Nine Tailed Beasts + Gedo Statue]
[Ding... Fusion commencing...]
Before this, Kurama's body stored tailed beast powers like compressed Tailed Beast Bombs.
But now, it was time to truly integrate them.
[Progress: 0.01%, 1%, 5%, 11%, 26%, 41%, 62%, 81%... 100%]
[Congratulations. Fusion complete.]
Kurama now stood not as a beast... but as something beyond even the gods that birthed this world.
