Tailed Beasts and the Senjutsu Chakra Bottleneck

The matter of the Ancient City of Rōran was finally settled, and Naruto had achieved his initial goal. Next, he would head to Mount Myōboku to absorb Natural Energy.

After giving Karin and the other five their instructions, he sent them back to Yukigakure with the Flying Thunder God Technique. Then he summoned old Fukasaku and, despite the toad's obvious reluctance, had him reverse-summon him to Mount Myōboku.

The Fallen Star Stone Naruto wore could speed up his absorption of Natural Energy in the Shinobi World, but the concentration there was far too low to compare with Mount Myōboku.

Now that he had reached this level, though, he felt the Senjutsu Chakra within him had hit its limit. His body was already stuffed to bursting. If he absorbed any more Chakra, it might explode.

Worse, he felt he might not be able to control all that
