"So? What can you give me?" Naruto stared straight at the Sage of Six Paths.
But the Sage of Six Paths was already sweating with anxiety. Why doesn't Naruto have the other tailed beasts' chakra inside him? Where did it go? Why does he only have the Four-Tails' chakra, and none of the others?
Did something go wrong? This isn't following that toad's prophecy. This puts me in a tough spot.
If I give him the original amount, he probably won't be able to beat Madara as he is now. But if I give him too much, and Indra and Asura start stirring up trouble again and make the two fight, Naruto will definitely kill Sasuke.
Forget it, forget it. Why overthink it? I'll just give him what he's supposed to get.
"Child, hold out your hand."
When Naruto woke up again, his body brimmed with energy. Since he lacked chakra from all those different tailed beasts, however, he was only at a pseudo-Six Paths level.
He could only summon two Truth-Seeking Orbs, and even those had been forcibly stuffed into him by the Sage of Six Paths, who couldn't bear to watch.
Naruto also took the opportunity to activate Sage Mode. His brilliant golden Tailed Beast Cloak appeared again, and this time, his pupils had changed into upright crosses. Even Sasuke was left staring at him.
This bastard. Why does this form look so cool?
But seeing that Naruto was all right, Sasuke guessed that the old man must have visited him too. He would have to talk to Naruto later and tell him not to trust strangers so easily. Boys had to learn to protect themselves when they were out in the world.
"Sasuke, look! Don't I look cool?"
"Tch. You're hideous, and you're still showing off."
