Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

If Hinata hadn't intervened, and Ino hadn't followed along, disrupting Kaguya's plans, Naruto might have truly let Kaguya succeed.

Of course, it's also a loss to let Kaguya Haku eat half of the Isshiki Devil Fruit now.

Naruto looked at the right eye in his hand, trying to comfort himself, and muttered, "At least I have this eye, so it's not a bad deal."

Ultimately, it all comes down to greed.

If all you want are the eyes, you can have a complete pair.

It was her greedy desire to obtain Isshiki's chakra and all of Isshiki's power that allowed Kaguya to gain the advantage.

"Ino." Naruto suppressed his regret, looked up at Ino who was floating in mid-air, and spoke.

"Please also teach me how to refine the Chakra Fruit."

Just as Kaguya no longer trusts him, he will not, and cannot, trust Kaguya. They are irreconcilable enemies; their positions determine their opposition.

He needs to learn this in order to think about the future.

"I can only use it, but I can't explain why," Ino said, both amused and exasperated.

"In short, let's try learning for a while first, and then we'll see if it works," Naruto said.

In consciousness.

Kaguya's voice resounds here.

"why?"

"Didn't I say that after this deal, I can grant you one request unconditionally? What good will it do you to refuse me?"

"In terms of the outcome, it's a win-win situation."

Naruto gestured for Ino to try and see if she could refine half of Isshiki's body into a chakra fruit, then turned to Kaguya with a distraction.

"I admit, the conditions you offered were very tempting, but..."

"What if I fall for your trick? What if you take back the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, overpower me, and seize control of my body? What if…"

“I have a bright future and plenty of time. There’s really no need for me to risk my character and reputation.”

"I lied to you so many times before, so consider the half of the One Style Fruit that you ate as compensation. You're welcome."

"..." Kaguya.

His eyes returned to reality.

Ino squatted down beside Isshiki's half-body for a long time, but there was no reaction or change.

"No, it's like there's an invisible membrane in between. It doesn't look thick, but I just can't get through," Ino said helplessly.

Looking at Isshiki, then at Ino, and then at his own hands, Naruto fell into deep thought.

“It’s no use. She and Isshiki are not on the same level. There’s no way she could do it,” Kaguya said.

"To destroy Isshiki's body, any small knife will suffice, but to refine him into a Chakra Fruit, one must have chakra..."

Snapped!

Naruto's eyes lit up, he snapped his fingers, and reached out his left hand to pat Ino lightly on the back.

With this strike, a portion of the tailed beast chakra within his body was transferred, from the One-Tailed Shukaku to the Nine-Tailed Kurama, completely.

"Try it again now."

Based on Naruto's understanding of bloodline limits, Ino, without the Ten-Tails' chakra, is less mysterious than Isshiki, which is why he couldn't defeat Isshiki.

At this point, with the addition of his chakra sponsorship, Ino, who now possesses the Ten-Tails' chakra, can be said to be at the same level.

"Will it work?" Naruto wondered to himself.

Seeing this, Kaguya, who wanted to talk to Naruto again about the deal, kept quiet.

Meeting Naruto's expectant gaze, and seeing Hinata standing to the side, looking at her strangely, Ino coughed and subconsciously avoided Hinata's eyes.

Let's look at Isshiki's upper body again.

"This is Naruto's chakra... No! This feeling... is it the chakra of a tailed beast?"

With her mind wandering, Ino placed her hand on one half of the body.

The power of the Rinnegan and the bloodline limit, two supreme energies, began to operate.

The imagined membrane was gone. Ino easily grasped the feeling and was stunned. After realizing what had happened, she couldn't help but glance at Naruto.

"Still not working?" Naruto frowned.

Ino shook her head, exerted a little force, and in an instant, half of her body collapsed, becoming a fruit the size of a baseball.

Naruto's eyes widened: "It worked!"

"That's great!" Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.

“And this eye! Please refine it into a fruit as well,” Naruto said.

Ino followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, Isshiki's right eye transformed into a fruit the size of a glass bead.

It would be more appropriate to call it an elixir than a fruit.

"What's going on?" Instinct spoke for her, telling her that her body desperately needed these two fruits, and that eating them would bring great benefits. Ino shook her head vigorously and handed the fruits to Naruto.

"I never felt this way when I refined the tailed beast chakra before. Why do I have such a strong urge this time? I really want to eat it."

"Naruto, be careful, something's not right with this fruit."

“What a coincidence, I feel the same way, Hinata, what about you?” Naruto said.

"I didn't," Hinata said.

"That's strange," Naruto said, puzzled, after thinking for a moment.

"If you're asking what Ino and I have in common, it's only that we share the Bloodline Limit and the Rinnegan, and are related to those two things?"

That's hard to say, after all, the Otsutsuki are aliens and have a close relationship with the Ten-Tails and the God Tree.

The Ten-Tails needs to eat an Otsutsuki to transform into a divine tree. With this premise, how mysterious is the Otsutsuki, and what secrets are hidden within it?

unknown.

“Isshiki has already left a Karma seal and is dead. This is a Chakra Fruit, it’s food, no problem.” Naruto said, then asked Hinata if Ino wanted to eat it.

Upon hearing this, the two women were stunned for a moment, then took several steps back and shook their heads like chicks pecking at rice.

Having witnessed firsthand how this thing came to be, the two of them couldn't bring themselves to eat it.

If it were any other species, they could eat the fruit made from it without a second thought, but this fruit was made from a human.

Uh…

Naruto's lips twitched, he gave a dry laugh, and, suppressing his discomfort, swallowed it in one bite.

Chapter 226 A Subtle Sense of Distinction

The first time I took the Chakra Fruit, putting aside the strange feeling of eating people, it was actually not bad.

Sweet and delicious, cool and refreshing, with a fantastic taste that surpasses ordinary fruits by countless levels.

"Ugh..." Naruto gagged for a while, looking miserable.

I can't fool myself after all.

The fact that the Otsutsuki could eat a chakra fruit made by humans without any qualms shows that their values ​​are truly inhuman.

"Are you alright?" Ino asked softly.

Naruto shook his head, not wanting to express his feelings: "Let's go back. I need to find something to do, something to distract me, ugh..."

"But how do we get back?" Ino asked, perplexed.

“From the very beginning when I was brought to this place, I have been trying to connect with and sense the Earth.”

"Perhaps the distance is too great, or perhaps there is some kind of barrier that prevents me from sensing our world."

As she spoke, Ino opened the Yomotsu Hirasaka door and peered inside.

She must have seen something, because she bent down on the ground opposite her to pick something up, and when she came back, she was holding a handful of sand.

"I can sense that there are several extremely large spaces nearby, which are also very far apart."

"It seems that the space we are in, along with several other spaces, are all rotating around a single point."

Hearing Ino say this, and seeing that she planned to explore each dimension in order to find her way home, Naruto perked up and said, "Alright, no need to bother, I'll do it."

"You're here? You don't seem to have the spacetime ability to cross different dimensions," Ino said in surprise.

“That was before,” Naruto said casually.

Put your hands together in prayer position.

Form hand seals to activate the summoning technique.

A massive spirit communication array spread out from beneath their feet.

Bang!

A wisp of smoke appeared, then vanished, leaving nothing in front of him.

The spiritual connection turned out to be empty.

"It's really too far away, please help me out."

As Naruto instructed, Hinata and Ino stood on either side, about ten meters apart, and formed the hand seals for the Summoning Jutsu.

"They're coming, get ready," Naruto warned.

"Yes." Hinata.

"Come on," Ino said.

"Three, two, one." As the countdown ended, Naruto placed his hand on the ground: "Summoning Jutsu."

The summoning array, centered on Naruto, was imprinted on the ground and expanded instantly, enveloping the two women as well.

At the same time, both women placed their hands on the ground, cooperating with Naruto and connecting with his chakra to create resonance.

They created an effect greater than three by adding one plus one plus one, successfully summoning Indra, the Six Paths clone, from the far-off Ninja World on the moon.
