[POV: 3rd Person]
[Scene: Kurama's Mindscape]
[Track Change: Naruto 'Loneliness']
Entering Kurama's Mindscape was certainly an experience, perhaps due to the influence of the Sharingan, the Mindscape was pitch-black besides a red moon with three tomoe on it. Renjiro found Kurama and quickly released the [Genjutsu: Sharingan] on him by overpowering it with [Yin-Release].
Kurama quickly arose in his Mindscape, looking around before seeing Renjiro. Kurama was angry, very angry, until he noticed his Chakra signature. Suddenly Kurama was quiet, he was briefly stunned before asking a question,
"What do you have to do with the old man?"
Renjiro, happy that Kurama recognized his Chakra replied, "Greetings Uncle Kurama, my name is Renjiro Otsutsuki-Dreemurr, my brother will introduce himself now."
Asriel continued, "Greetings Uncle Kurama, my name is Asriel Otsutsuki-Dreemurr, we are SOULs adopted by Grandfather Hagoromo, who were sent from the Pure Land on request by Grandfather Hagoromo. Our assignment is to be both a Teacher and Guardian to the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra, sons of Hagoromo."
Renjiro jumped in, "Additionally, we are to work with the reincarnations to prevent the revival of the Ten-Tails and by extension Kaguya Otsutsuki, mother of Grandfather Hagoromo. I am sure you know what the revival of the Ten-Tails means for yourself and our eight other Aunts and Uncles."
Kurama was silent, jaw-dropping, he could probably fit the entire Hokage building in his mouth. If Asriel hadn't told me that he knew Kurama wasn't going to try to eat us, I would have spoken sooner. Kurama finally finished processing this information and finally asked some more questions.
"How's the old man doing?"
"Grandfather Hagoromo had just reawakened after recovering from splitting the Ten-Tails into our Aunts and Uncles, when he decided to look at the history of the world since his rest, he was furious. A lacquer-black being made from Kaguya's [Yin-Yang-Release], named Black Zetsu, had been manipulating the ninja world for tens of hundreds of years. Causing wars, disasters, and throughout it all attempting to start the revival of Kaguya.
He has finally started his plan by manipulating the previous reincarnation of Indra, Uchiha Madara, into awakening the Rinnegan, and summoning the Gedo Statue from the moon. Unfortunately, Ashura's reincarnation, Hashirama Senju had already died, if Black Zetsu could enact his plan before the next reincarnations were born and strong enough, there would be no one who could reseal Kaguya.
Grandfather Hagoromo began to scan the Pure Land for Ashura's Chakra, but found us first, two SOULs not from this world who arrived in the Pure Land. Due to my brother's unique physique and our strong SOULs, we could pass back from the Pure Land to the world of the living without using the Rinnegan's Power.
Unfortunately, due to the need to create a Chakra network for us and giving us his own Chakra signature to meet with you more smoothly, Hagoromo will not be able to view or interact with the world of the living for 12 years. During which time we are to be the Guardians of Indra and Ashura's reincarnations."
Kurama finally understood the significance of Renjiro and Asriel's presence, they protected not just the reincarnations but also needed to shield the Tailed Beast from Black Zetsu, an extremely difficult task to put it lightly.
Suddenly Asriel spoke up, "Uncle Kurama, we would like you to stay nearby if possible, there are two choices that we can make with minimal backlash, and one nuclear option that would play right into Black Zetsu's hands. Would you like to hear them?"
Kurama was intrigued, what had his new nephew's thought of to help him?
(A/N: Just a heads up, going on vacation so I don't know if I will be able to write during that time. Should be able to, but even if I can't I have 20 chapters in reserve. Just a heads up in case uploads slow down in the short term. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!)
