For some reason, Shihōin Naraku had not chosen to release the Six Paths: Ten-Tails Coffin Seal and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki directly.
Instead, he had chosen to let the Ten-Tails enter its final state, transforming into a towering God Tree!
Perhaps it was because Naraku did not simply want to become a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki like Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha, but intended to become an existence like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
"System, can my approach succeed?"
[Yes!]
The system was as direct as ever!
With the system's assurance, however, Naraku finally felt at ease, because his choice was right.
And his choice was to have the God Tree formed from the Ten-Tails bear a Chakra Fruit!
Then Naraku would eat it himself!
Of course, doing this still carried risks.
First, Naraku did not know whether the God Tree formed from his Ten-Tails could actually bear a Chakra Fruit.
After all, over the past thousand years, only Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had eaten a Chakra Fruit.
No one else had had that opportunity!
Naraku stared at the God Tree and murmured to himself, "Most importantly, for the God Tree to bear a Chakra Fruit, it seems someone from the Ōtsutsuki Clan has to be sacrificed. Only then can it successfully bear fruit!"
But right now, Naraku did not have a powerful member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan willing to sacrifice themselves for him.
So he seriously doubted whether the God Tree before him could actually bear a Chakra Fruit.
Only after receiving a definite answer from the system did he feel at ease.
Although he did not know why this God Tree did not require the sacrifice of a powerful member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, it was enough that it could bear fruit. As for the reason, Naraku had no desire to investigate it
