With One Blade, Overturning Konoha!

Kāma.

A concept introduced in the later sequels of Naruto. It originates from the unique abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

When a user enters the cursed seal state, peculiar markings appear on their body, greatly enhancing their abilities. These markings can manifest in different colors depending on the user's elemental affinity. In Boruto, only Jigen, Kawaki, and Boruto possess this power. It may seem like a flashy gimmick, but its power is undeniable.

Kaguya leaned back, completely unaware of how devastating her high-tech lights could be to men. In a back-pushing stance, she offered all of her chakra to Hakken Yoru. This was a one-sided contribution, unlike Boruto's bond with Kinshiki, which seemed more like a symbiotic relationship poised for possession and rebirth.

This was a unique Kāma! Only those with the purest Ōtsutsuki blood could perform this sacrifice. From this moment on, she would belong to Hakken Yoru. When necessary, they would merge, the cursed seal manifesting, and she would wield the power of the Kāma. When not needed, she would summon him for an unconventional “merge,” exploring each other's depths and chasing the thrill of soaring through the sky.

Of course, none of this mattered to Hakken Yoru at the moment. The system notification ringing in his mind was what truly surprised him.

“Ding! Host, detecting Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s intent to contribute chakra as your Kāma. This Kāma differs slightly from the conceptual model. It will not affect any of your inherent powers, nor will it be influenced by Kaguya’s consciousness.”

“This Kāma operates in a unilateral support state. Please select whether to accept.”

“Upon acceptance, you will possess the same pure Ōtsutsuki bloodline as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. When energy reserves are sufficient, special abilities will activate. Kaguya’s chakra will attach to your body, constantly providing you with energy. This constitutes Cursed Seal Stage One.”

“You may summon Kaguya at any time to fulfill your wishes—such as finding a biological father for the Sage of the Six Paths. Naturally, this system understands the concept of ‘biological father’ based on your thoughts, and it is highly probable that this refers to yourself.”

“Activating the Seal enters Cursed Seal Stage Two. You will harness the power of the Kāma to enhance your abilities comprehensively. The level of enhancement scales with Kaguya’s growing strength.”

“Rest assured, Host. Kaguya’s current bond resembles a reliance on your formidable survival skills rather than treating you as a vessel for her resurrection. With your spiritual pressure, she cannot achieve such a goal.”

“During this bond period, you may choose to absorb Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s chakra into your body or sever the bond completely.”

After a brief pause, the system continued its explanation.

“Of course, Host may refuse by releasing your spiritual pressure. However, rejecting this offer will permanently forfeit future opportunities to obtain a Kāma.”

The explanation was clear now. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had once attempted the same with Hakken, but she had failed. The world did not unfold as she wished.

Her perspective shifted. She decided to witness the world with her own eyes. It was no longer her “nursery world.” With her power not yet restored—indeed, so weak it could only be called feeble—becoming this powerful man’s Kāma was her only option.

There was another reason behind her mindset. This man had spoken of confronting the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the future.

The naive Ōtsutsuki didn’t understand—and wouldn’t delve into—the logic that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” She only knew this man’s strength was absurd. Becoming his Kāma... if even this formidable man couldn’t defeat the others, what could she accomplish?

Kaguya had truly come to terms with it.

As the man dragged her away from the moon’s interior, she realized that what she lacked was someone to rely on. Whether this man was worthy of that reliance was still unknown. But by observing him, she would become his strength. It was fine to simply witness that “nursery” with her own eyes.

For whatever reason, she proceeded. Acceptance. This was a no-lose proposition; Hakken had no reason to refuse.

The barrier between them completely vanished. Kaguya’s remaining power flowed into Hakken Yoru’s body, her form gradually becoming transparent and faintly merging with his.

But at the very last moment, Kaguya’s eyes widened in shock.

What was that?! A fierce beast resided in this man’s heart, ruthlessly suppressing all of her power.

Perhaps, before, she had entertained other thoughts about Hakken Yoru’s body. But at this moment, even that final thought disappeared. Whether it was spiritual energy or soul, this was absolutely not a “II-type” entity she could covet!

Dance with the wolf? Resistance was futile...

From this day forward... this servant... belongs to him...

Abandoning her last struggle, Kaguya’s form fully dissolved, becoming transparent and vanishing into Hakken’s body.

At the same time, a strange woman appeared in his spiritual realm, observing the outside world through Hakken’s eyes. Naturally, Hakken could close these visions at any time. He could also summon Kaguya’s physical form whenever he wished.

This was the perfect Kāma!

Power surged, a pale blue pattern extending from Hakken’s arm to his pupils.

Hum!

His eyes snapped open, revealing a white pupil identical to Kaguya’s in his left eye.

Byakugan!

Unlike the Hyūga clan, under Hakken’s physical constitution and unique chakra, he didn’t need to stimulate the meridians around his eyes—the Byakugan activated naturally.

Beyond that, the eerie pattern stretched again, wrapping around Hakken’s Zanpakutō! Without a doubt, the power of his standard slashes had increased once more.

So this is the power of the Kāma? Not that impressive.

Frowning, Hakken seemed somewhat disappointed.

This wasn’t him putting on an act, mimicking Madara’s tone to mock Sage Mode after learning it.

It was genuinely weak. Too weak. The boost it gave him was completely different from what he had expected.

“It’s... because I... was sealed...”

Kaguya’s voice echoed in his mind, her tone betraying profound terror.

Indeed.

The soul-crushing pressure, capable of devouring her at any moment, was something she had never encountered before.

Now, this man only needed a single thought, and she would be devoured until not even her bones remained.

True death.

A seal?

Hakken nodded.

That was indeed the case.

Even before being sealed by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura, Kaguya was not the complete chakra Ancestor.

This could be concluded from the fact that Rikudō Sennin could separate nine Tailed Beasts from his own body.

Creating two children with chakra alone meant the Rikudō Sennin possessed the combined power of all nine tailed beasts!

One could only imagine how terrifying Kaguya's original chakra must have been.

After all, who could have guessed the true form of the Ten-Tails was just a naive, innocent Ōtsutsuki?

“Does it require activating Infinite Tsukuyomi to restore it?”

After pondering, Hakken asked curiously. Honestly, if she was too weak, it wouldn’t offer him any substantial boost.

“Infinite Tsukuyomi is merely one method, and it doesn't require everyone to contribute all their chakra to become White Zetsu.”

“A single drop is enough.”

Kaguya sounded slightly anxious. “And this massive energy entity before you—by absorbing it through our cursed seal method, it ultimately strengthens your body.”

“Yet I serve as the conduit for this power, which will also aid in restoring some of my own strength.”

Comparing herself to a conduit?

Hakken was speechless.

The adjectives used by the Ōtsutsuki Clan were all rather stinging.

“Kāma,” “vessel”—just thinking about it was absurd.

Still, getting down to business was paramount.

The prerequisites for absorbing the Tenseigan were in place, but Hakken was unclear on the exact steps.

“It requires connecting with my soul and spirit.”

Hum.

In the spiritual realm, Hakken's figure materialized.

Seeing Kaguya's slightly flushed face, he seemed to understand what needed to be done.

“Undress.”

Pointing at Kaguya's clothing, Hakken stated calmly.

Kaguya: “?”

“Didn’t you say we needed to connect? Right, since we’re both spiritual forms, might as well be open about it.”

The man's gaze naturally fell upon Kaguya, slowly shifting downward.

Taking two startled steps back, Kaguya, still processing, realized the misunderstanding.

Though they met as spiritual energy and souls, this overt behavior made her pale face flush completely.

“Um...”

“I... hadn’t finished yet...”

As the Ōtsutsuki's robes dissipated, Kaguya finally managed to squeeze out the second half of her sentence.

“Actually... just holding hands would be enough...”

Sorry.

She had no chance left.

It was merely a connection between souls and spirits, not a physical one, so Hakken dismissed it.

Only the two of them remained on the moon now. Check latest chapters at novel[f]ire.net

Toneri Ōtsutsuki, already treated as a tool by Hakken, had been sealed away using a special scroll exchanged from the System Store.

A true world of two under the stars.

Feeling that profound connection, Hakken's hand—wrapped in eerie patterns—reached for the Golden Wheel Tenseigan.

This power was of the same lineage and clan; rejection was impossible.

The sheer strength of Hakken's physique astonished Kaguya.

Same lineage, formidable physique, Byakugan.

With all prerequisites met, the absorption of power commenced.

As if plunging into a warm ocean, only Hakken, immersed in the unique sensation of soul-to-soul connection, gazed with delight.

The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Eye was, at its core, the convergence of countless Ōtsutsuki Byakugan.

Each of those eyes represented their most precious possession.

In other words, they were their very souls!

Thus, during absorption, Hakken noticed his blade emitting an unusual glow.

The second Normal Slash Trait, Soul-Devouring Blade, was taking effect!

Hakken's Zanpakutō absorbed the soul power above, thereby solidifying its Soul Harvest and Souls Under the Blade effects!

This unexpected bonus was something he hadn't anticipated.

The Soul-Devouring Blade's “Souls Under the Blade” effect was immensely powerful, especially on the day Hakken achieved his Shikai, when his attack reaped over three thousand souls.

That single strike felt like three thousand souls charging forward with a roar—its effect could only be described as terrifying!

The normal slash remained the same, yet its power now included not only physical and soul damage but also an extremely potent deterrent effect! This trait was exceptionally potent.

Yet Hakken couldn't possibly slaughter and harvest the souls of every person in the Ninja World—otherwise, he and Kaguya would be no different.

Once unification arrived, only the rebels could become souls slain by his blade. The growth potential of the “Souls Slain” effect within the Hokage World seemed to have reached its limit.

But the number of souls within the Golden Wheel Tenseigan once again amplified the effect of Hakken's Normal Slash Trait.

This alone made using Kaguya as his Kāma well worth it.

“Very good.”

In the spiritual energy realm, the Hakken, bound to Kaguya's soul, wore a satisfied smile.

Meanwhile, Kaguya had completely collapsed into his embrace.

“May I... touch your horns?”

She suddenly spoke.

It seemed the Ōtsutsuki Clan harbored a peculiar fixation on horns.

Sure enough, after the horns of her rampaging Void Form appeared, the woman herself consolidated the connected souls.

Seems she found a rather peculiar point of interest.

Her knowledge has expanded...

...

The energy of the Golden Tenseigan was considerable.

Gathering all the Ōtsutsuki Byakugan from the moon, its power was unimaginable.

Thus, even after Hakken acquired attributes aligned with Hamura's lineage, the absorption rate remained sluggish.

Yet these days of energy absorption were far from tedious.

Feeling the metamorphosis with body and soul—this process was pure enjoyment.

Especially with the connected soul within the spiritual space.

The Perfect Kāma grew stronger, and Hakken, whose cursed seal remained perpetually active, sensed it: his eyes were completing their transformation.

…

Earth, the Ninja World.

Within Konohagakure.

“Based on the observations over the past few days, there’s no sign that the moon is heading toward Earth. Apart from that strange sight of it splitting in two, no other phenomena have occurred.”

In the Hokage's office, Nara Shikaku presented the findings from the Konoha Observatory to Minato. The moon has split. Such an event would certainly cause a sensation! But why it split, and how it happened—no one knows.

After all, before the incident, no one even knew the moon was the source, and no one had been looking up at it constantly.

“So, it poses no threat to Earth, correct?”

Minato nodded, finally exhaling in relief. When the moon first cracked, they had feared it might collide with Earth, but looking back, that seemed like overthinking. The moon was still the same moon, only showing a strange phenomenon for some unknown reason. The only real mystery now was who was responsible for all of this.

The Ninja World was filled with confusion. But the one most puzzled of all was the bizarre pool of liquid. Black Zetsu Ōtsutsuki! The third son of Princess Kaguya.

On a quiet night, atop a hillside outside Otogakure in the Land of Rice Fields, Black Zetsu stared at the glowing crescent moon and opened his mouth.

“The moon has split...”

Others might not know what this meant, but he did! The moon was merely a sealed image created by the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, and the one sealed within was his mother—Kaguya Ōtsutsuki!

But now the moon had split, cleaved in two! What had happened to Mother?

Black Zetsu’s gaze grew distant as he looked toward the village of Otogakure and sighed. The plan had spiraled beyond control. At least Orochimaru shared their objective: destroy Konoha, destroy that man.

But the technique used on Nagato... He shook his head. Let Orochimaru take the lead. If all else fails, they would have to revive Madara early and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

He lifted his gaze back to the moon. Perhaps Black Zetsu would never know.

In this moment, it wasn’t just the moon that had split. Shattered alongside it was his mother. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. The woman of the King.
