Arata blinked at the smoking crater, then looked at his body. "Wait… this shield?"
"Yes. That's your Truth-Seeking Chakra Shield. It formed on its own to protect you. Look closely—it's not just green, it's alive. Just like Gaara's sand, it protects you like it has its own will."
"So I don't have to worry about getting hit by some random Rasengan or planetary jutsu?"
"Nope. Not unless it's from a god. But…" the system added, "you should lay low for a while. If your parents see you acting different or too OP, things might get messy."
Arata sighed. "Yeah, you're right. If Hashirama finds out, he'll drag me into another forest survival training."
"Exactly. So act normal for now. Just three more years, okay?"
"Fine," Arata said with a lazy smile. "But I'm still gonna flex in my mind."
"Feel free, Host."
"Hey, by the way, System… I never gave you a name, right?"
System: "Yeah, host, you didn't."
"Alright then, how about I name you now? Your name is… Jake. Sounds good, right?"
Jake: "Thank you for naming me, host. Name changed: Jake."
"You know why I picked Jake?"
Jake: "Yes. I looked into your past memories. Jake was that boy, right? The one who was bullied by his family. You saved him and stayed with him for a year, helped him get back on his feet, made him feel like he belonged again."
"Yeah… aside from my parents, he was the only one who felt close. So, in a way, you're like that to me now."
Jake (smiling slightly): "Got it. Thanks Arata"
The system paused for a second. Even though he was just a manifestation of this World Shibai Ōtsutsuki's remaining power which was Given Consiousness by Other Shibai otsutsuki and turned into System , something inside changed. He wasn't a human, or a girl, or some AI robot—he was the soul of this world's Shibai power, given form to guide Arata. A friend. A brother, maybe.
"Now listen, Jake. I've made a bunch of techniques already. Real broken stuff. Like my dust release blast? That one went through the entire Earth. And I got, like… 50 more like that."
Jake: "Yeah, your arsenal is scary."
"But that's the problem. How do I hide this insane chakra from my parents? My mom, you know, she's a sensor. And she's Uzumaki Mito on top of that. She's got those crazy chakra-sensing powers. And my dad? Well… he's Hashirama Senju. Need I say more?"
Jake (chuckling): "Well, the good thing is, technically, you don't have a chakra reserve anymore."
"What? Huh? Jake, what kind of plot twist is this?"
Jake (speaking in Deadpann Voice): "You didn't notice, huh? You've got near-infinite chakra now, but it's mostly nature chakra flowing in you 24/7. That's the thing. You're not storing it in one place anymore like a normal ninja. You're constantly in sync with nature."
"Okay… but still, if I use a huge chunk of it, like, say, a ten-tailed level punch—my hand's gonna explode, right?"
Jake: "Yup. You can regenerate it thanks to your Sage Body, but , it's still gonna hurt. Think Naruto's Rasenshuriken before he mastered it—same deal."
"Ugh… So what do I tell my parents? I'm glowing green, Jake. Green! Not exactly subtle."
Jake: "Easy. Say you're working on a sealing jutsu. One that hides your chakra completely. And guess what? You already made a mind-fooling seal. You can tweak it a bit and boom—your parents won't sense anything."
"And when they try to sense me?"
Jake: "They'll just pick up on nature chakra. Nothing weird. Nothing dangerous. Just like you're chillin' in a forest, hugging trees or something."
"Smart. I like it. You really are like a Jake."
Jake (smirking): "Told ya. Also, yes—your Sage Mode's on another level. You could even sense a bug sneezing five villages away. But hiding your chakra? Easy stuff now. Just don't punch the moon again, alright?"
"Can't promise that. But fine… I'll lay low for now."
"Looks like you don't need me anymore, huh?"
Arata heard that voice echo inside his mind.
"Oh, so you finally showed up, huh? Took you long enough," said Jake with a small smirk. "Fox."
"Kurama," Arata said, as he sat down inside the special time chamber he made using his seals or Fuinjutsu . His consciousness slipped into his inner world, where Kurama's presence had started forming again.
But this Kurama... was small.
"A bat?" Arata blinked in confusion.
"Oi! Watch your mouth!" Kurama growled, sitting like a grumpy cat on a couch. "You got crazy strong in just a month. How the hell is that even possible?"
"Come here," Arata said calmly.
Kurama stepped closer, and Arata passed some of his chakra and memories into him. Kurama stood still for a moment, processing it all.
