A True Fourth Level, Choosing Cooperation

Issei (Shiraha) and Naruto's fists touched, and the two controlled the Chakra within their bodies to merge and connect.

At this moment, Issei (Shiraha) felt like a stream, while Naruto in front of him was a boundless ocean.

The surging Chakra emanating from Naruto was simply too powerful. Even Issei (Shiraha), who had personally experienced Kushina's Chakra, felt a clear difference between the two.

In particular, Issei (Shiraha) felt less Nine-Tails Chakra in Naruto than Kushina.

Even so, his Chakra was much stronger than Kushina's.

This is unimaginable for a human being.

Or rather, Naruto now, in some ways, has transcended the realm of humanity.

The reason why Issei (Shiraha) felt the surging Chakra within Naruto was not because Naruto was actively displaying the power of his Chakra, but because the total amount of Chakra was too enormous. The difference between a calm sea with three-foot waves and a tiny stream is indeed too great.

Looking back now, the path of Chakra really did go very far, just as expected. If Naruto had taken another step forward, it might have brought about a qualitative change.

Through the connection of Chakra, Naruto also discovered Issei's (Shiraha's ) complicated thoughts and shocked emotions, but he was not surprised. Even Sasuke in his prime was inferior to him in terms of Chakra.

Soon, memories surfaced one by one like a slideshow, with Naruto and Issei (Shiraha) examining each other's memories.

The connection of Chakra requires both parties to be relatively honest in order to view each other's memories. Of course, some memories cannot be viewed if they are deliberately avoided, since everyone has privacy. If you force someone to view them, the connection of Chakra will be broken.

"Did they come here through the Dragon Vein with Sunagakure missing-nin from Anrokuzan? Could it be more than just one world?" Naruto withdrew his fist and pondered with a puzzled expression.

"Naruto, what's going on?" Sasuke asked hurriedly from the side.

Naruto glanced at Issei (Shiraha) in front of him, then explained to Sasuke, "When I was young, I went with Sakura and the others to hunt down the missing-nin Mukade from Sunagakure. However, at that time, I went back to the past, to the time before the Ancient Kingdom of Roran was destroyed."

Because Mukade passed through the Dragon Vein first, he returned six years earlier than us. He successfully gained the trust of the Queen of Roran, became a minister of Rōran, and changed his name to Anrokuzan.

It was at that time that I met my father, who had also come from the past and had not yet become the Fourth Hokage.

Later, we joined forces to defeat Anrokuzan, and before leaving, my father erased my memories of him.

After I completely reconciled with the Kurama, I regained this memory.

Now, based on Issei's (Shiraha's ) memories and what he called the Parallel World, I suddenly understand.

Actually, Sakura and I didn't go back to the past; we entered another world, and Dad and the others also came from that other world.

"You mean...?" Sasuke was startled, having basically understood Naruto's meaning, and couldn't help but have a startling thought.

"I'm afraid so."

Naruto nodded.

Sasuke hearing this, Sasuke also reached out his hand towards Issei (Shiraha).

Issei (Shiraha) and Sasuke exchanged punches, and then their Chakra combined.

"Hmm?" As soon as they exchanged a punch, Sasuke realized something was wrong.

In his Chakra perception, Issei (Shiraha)'s Mangekyō Sharingan was only at the most basic stage, not the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Even if someone with this level of Mangekyō Sharingan had their First Hokage Cells transplanted like Obito did, allowing them to use it for a longer period, they would eventually lose their sight.

However, Issei (Shiraha)'s Mangekyō Sharingan is just as Eye Power as Sasuke's when he first received Itachi's eyes and awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Despite his doubts, Sasuke was quickly distracted by Issei's (Shiraha's ) memories.

After the punches ended, Sasuke was silent for a while before speaking, "I understand now. When Boruto and I chased after Urashiki Otsutsuki back to the past, that world wasn't the past of our world. We just traveled through space and entered another space that was very similar to our world."

Based on the time difference, the time in that world doesn't match the time when you traveled back in time through the Dragon Vein and met the Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, there is more than one world similar to ours, and there is more than one other version of us.

"I'm afraid so," Naruto replied, his emotions still unsettled. He had initially thought there was just another version of himself, but now it seemed that their world was not only not unique, but also multiple and overlapping.

From their conversation and the memory fragments he had just acquired, Issei (Shiraha) quickly realized what was happening and said:

"I understand now. The world is like a string of beads connected by a thread. Although they are connected and close together by the thread, each one is an individual when separated."

Let's say your world is A, and the world I came to is B.

Naruto, you didn't travel through time using the power of the Dragon Vein. You didn't return to the past of World A. You only traveled through space and entered World C.

The Fourth Hokage you met might be from World D. He entered World C, and you met in World C, but you both considered the timeline of World C to be the past of World A.

Because the four worlds A, B, C, and D have relatively independent timelines, each will experience the same things according to its predetermined future.

However, the future is not static. In my B world, the appearance of people who would not have appeared in the original timeline completely changed what followed.

Everyone sees themselves as unique, so after receiving some information, when faced with something that has already happened, they are more likely to feel like they have returned to the past rather than entered another Parallel World.

What I call the originally planned events is the 'plot.' When the plot changes, the characters, in a sense, also become unique individuals.

"According to your logic, is it possible that the Yagami Shiraha who appears in your world could also exist in other worlds?" Sasuke asked, frowning.

"Who can say for sure?" Issei (Shiraha) said in a deep voice, "Perhaps there are more similar worlds such as E, F, G, etc., and in those worlds, perhaps there will be Yagami Shiraha."

Rather than discussing these things, Issei (Shiraha) was actually more concerned with the information he gleaned from the memories of the two.

This world also has extraterrestrial visitors, known as the Otsutsuki Clan.

The legendary Sage of Six Paths was the son of Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is known as the progenitor of Chakra.

Issei (Shiraha) firmly believes this, because his true form is also a visitor from outer space.

Without the special bloodline fusion advancement method of the "Spirit Summoning Warlock", his original body might have chosen to fuse more First and Tailed Beast cells to advance to the ' Otsutsuki Warlock '.

Even now, the power of the "Divine Tree" bloodline of the Otsutsuki Clan within him is still slightly stronger than that of the "White Phosphorus Serpent".

However, once he truly advances to Fourth-Level and becomes the source of the "World Tree Companion Serpent" bloodline, he will be the new progenitor of the bloodline.

However, due to the reservations of both sides, Issei (Shiraha) did not obtain comprehensive information, especially Sasuke, who was more wary, which resulted in Shiraha obtaining even less information.

Judging from fragments of memory, advanced Chakra techniques include Yin-Yang Release and Kekkei Mōra.

Yin-Yang Release is a combination of Yin Release and Yang Release. It is a technique that creates all things from nothing and gives them life. Chunin the legends of the Shinobi World, the Sage of Six Paths, the progenitor of ninjas, used Yin-Yang Release to create the world and the Tailed Beast. Of course, according to the actual situation, the moon was indeed created by the Sage of Six Paths Sage of Six Paths, but the world and the Tailed Beast were not created by him.

The current Nine Tailed Beasts are the result of the Sage of Six Paths dividing the Ten-Tails into nine parts. Judging from the situation of the Kurama, these nine parts are obviously not evenly divided.

The Izanagi used by the Uchiha Clan falls under the category of Yin-Yang Release, which allows them to control the transformation between dreams and reality.

However, that power can only be used with the help of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and the Mangekyō Sharingan. The reason it can be used is because it relies on external forces, not because it is a power that one possesses oneself.

Just like Issei (Shiraha) can now use Izanagi and use the "Izanagi Loop" with the help of the Mangekyo Dojutsu, it doesn't mean that he has combined Yin Release and Yang Release and perfectly used Yin-Yang Release. Without the external force of his eyes, he can no longer use it.

The most advanced technique of Yin-Yang Release is the Truth-Seeking Orb.

Those who possess the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path or the Rinnegan can create matter and even imbue it with life force according to their own will.

After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki or obtaining the Six Paths Yang Power, several Truth-Seeking Orb will float behind them.

Truth-Seeking Orb can nullify all Ninjutsu except Senjutsu; attacks will only be effective against Senjutsu or Taijutsu.

Ordinary matter will be reduced to nothingness upon contact with it; only those who become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki or possess the Six Paths Power can be immune.

The strongest technique of Chakra is Kekkei Mōra, an ability that surpasses Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta, formed by the fusion of seven nature transformations: fire, wind, earth, water, lightning, yin, and yang.

This is a level higher than the Chimera Technique that Issei (Shiraha) obtained. Chimera is only a fusion of five Kekkei Genkai, some of which can overlap in attributes, while Kekkei Mōra are a powerful force formed by fusing seven properties. Even Sasuke and Naruto are stronger than their original selves, have not mastered the power of Kekkei Mōra.

According to Issei (Shiraha), the final boss in their memories, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was probably beyond the power level of Third-Level Wizard (sorcerer). As for whether she reached the level Fourth-Level, he could not predict.

Because Fourth-Level represents the first truly significant qualitative leap for all the cultivation systems recorded in the "Book of the Ancient Warlock".

Even with the boost from becoming a "Spirit Summoning Warlock," Kaguya Otsutsuki's power would likely be difficult to reach at Third Level.

However, whether in the ancient texts of the Wizarding World or in the Mythological Creature records in the "Book of the Ancient Warlock," Fourth-Level Star-Level powerhouse would not actually be as weak as Kaguya Otsutsuki in Naruto's memories.

What is now certain is that the "star" fragment in the world where the main body is located is very likely to have fallen from the Ten-Tails, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is also the Ten-Tails ' husk. In terms of energy level, it is definitely Fourth-Level Mythological Creature.

However, this is Fourth-Level system in another civilization's Chakra system, which is different from the true level Fourth-Level in the Wizarding World and the Ancient Sound Civilization.

There is indeed a qualitative difference in the Chakra of Kaguya Otsutsuki compared to that of an ordinary ninja, just like the difference in Chakra between a ninja and Tailed Beast.

However, by the standards of Wizarding World, even someone as powerful as Kaguya Otsutsuki only accumulated power through the quantity of Chakra, rather than undergoing a true qualitative change.

For Wizarding World to advance to Fourth-Level, it needs to completely integrate its Mental Power and Magic Power, and at the same time begin to cultivate its Soul Power. This is fundamentally different from Third Level.

Wizard (warlocks) below Fourth-Level may be able to fight opponents of higher levels through special means, or use their numerical advantage to overwhelm and kill Wizard (warlocks) of a higher level.

Shiraha is a level two "Spirit Summoning Warlock" who has fused the abilities of two bloodlines. His strength absolutely crushes level two Wizard and Bloodline Warlock. As for whether he can rival Third Level, based on the records in the "Book of the Ancient Warlock", it can be speculated that if he reaches the level two Mental Power Crystallization stage, it should be no problem.

However, once you reach Fourth-Level, even dozens or hundreds of Third-Level Wizard (sorcerers) cannot pose a substantial threat to Fourth-Level Star-Level powerhouse.

Clearly, the Chakra system cannot do this.

Even at their peak strength before losing their arms, Sasuke and Naruto were only able to fight Madara Uchiha to Six Paths Madara.

Six Paths Madara's power level is at most Third Level, and that is the Third Level of an ordinary Wizard (sorcerer).

However, Sasuke and Naruto successfully sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki, Chakra was far stronger than that of Six Paths Madara Kaguya Otsutsuki, which was at a power level comparable to Fourth-Level. This was completely illogical.

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki had no combat experience, she shouldn't have acted like this.

The only plausible explanation is that the Chakra system is not fully inherited or that there is a break in its transmission; otherwise, this situation would not have occurred.

Of course, what Issei (Shiraha) cares about most right now is to obtain more information and pass it all on to his main body.

The reason is that the upper limit of the ninja world is not high. Now it seems that the ninja world was underestimated. The combat power of Six Paths Madara is not something that the original body that has just entered the second level can deal with, not to mention that there is also an even stronger Kaguya Otsutsuki.

However, there are many details that Issei (Shiraha) did not see in Naruto and Sasuke's memories.

Furthermore, other members of the Otsutsuki Clan may also arrive, and this must be taken into account early on.

Even if their actual combat ability is weak, it would probably take Third Level advancement in their physical form to deal with them.

With this in mind, Issei (Shiraha) decided to join forces with Naruto and Sasuke.

"Our world is in Konoha's Konoha Year 54 according to the Konoha calendar. There are still ten years until Konoha Year 64. In order to deal with all possible situations, I am willing to cooperate with the two of you."

I hope you can provide me with more detailed intelligence so that we can be adequately prepared to deal with powerful enemies in the future.

Of course, I will also provide you with more honest information.

"The Otsutsuki Clan Member from your world, Shiraha will also come to help. His current strength is not much inferior to the two of you."

Issei (Shiraha) extended his fist, lowering his guard and preparing to show his sincerity.

With his skills, as long as he has the materials, it wouldn't be difficult for him to restore Naruto and Sasuke to their peak condition, or even allow them to make further breakthroughs.

He's using this avatar as a gamble; if he successfully Sasuke with Naruto, it will greatly benefit his main body's future development.

The body tissues of the Otsutsuki Clan can undoubtedly enhance the purity of their bloodline.

As for losing at gambling, it's just a matter of sacrificing an incarnation, especially with such a high success rate of winning, how could anyone possibly lose!
