4.Homura Of The Past

A week passed and I started using weights in my legs and wrists. I wore the weights all the time including when I sleep. Another week passed and let me tell you, Kakashi surely was talented. I can now wear half the weights of Gai just after a week of training.

Kakashi would have become the strongest ninja if he did not brood all the time and trained. Anyway Gai was surprised and asked "Are you sure Kakash?" I nodded "Yes Gai. I'm sure, but I'll only use the gates if there's no other way out."

Gai also nodded and thus he showed me how to use the gates. Gai could only open up to the 5th gate as he was still 15 years old. Gai then demonstrated by opening the gates and I copied it with the sharingan.

The gates are like nodes in the chakra network. By passing on a rapid stream of chakra, the nodes bulge and expands the chakra network and makes potent chakra flow faster. Your heart beats faster and increases your senses by increasing all the bodily functions.

That's what I saw with my sharingan. I have yet to study the body structure of this world, so It will take time for me to study and analyse the gates. I then did the same as Gai and opened the first gate.

As soon as I opened the first gate, My body released white chakra and I could feel my vision speed and strength improve by leaps and bounds. Its like you took some very powerful steroids. Gai was surprised seeing the color of my chakra and feeling the pressure.

He then closed the gates and approached me. "Kakashi, what's this chakra? How come you are emitting such pressure? Did you open the third gate?" I was also surprised hearing Gai. I looked at him and said "I dont know. I just opened the first gate and this happeded."

Gai inspected me and yelled "OH! MY YOUTHFUL RIVAL, YOU WILL SURPASS ME SOON. YOU ARE BORN TO USE THE GATES." I was looking at what was happening to me using Kakashi's memory and circulated my chakra through the same gate once again.

As soon as I did it, my whole body shok and released a powerfull pressure which pushed Gai back a few steps and increased my senses even higher. I looked at my hands closing and opening my palms, but didn't feel any fatigue as per Kakashi's memory of the technique.

I then tried to close the gate and to my surprise, I wasn't able to close it. I panicked and yelled "Gai, I'm not able to close the gate." thinking I did a huge mistake and would die of chakra exhaustion. Gai hearing me also yelled "What" and panicked not knowing what to do.

When I thought I fuckud up, my eyes went blank and when I opened them, I saw an old man sitting in front of me. As soon as I saw him, I recognised him and yelled "Homura". Homura was surprised me calling his name and spoke.

"How do you know me child? who are you?" I got surprised by his question as I replied "What do you mean who I am? You are the one who sent me here to help Naruto to save the world. How can You forget it so son? It has been only two weeks".

Homura was surprised and scanned me full and spoke "I see. I can feel my chakra inside you along with some of my mother's chakra and also another potent kind of energy.....hmmm....I see. That must be it" He said to himself.

I looked at him curiously and asked "What happened?" Homura got out of his musing as he replied "I can sense My and my mothers chakra inside you. I myst have given it to you, but to be presise, my future self must have brought you here."

I was surprised as I asked "What do you mean future self?" He calmly replied "I can sense a time energy inside you. It must be done by my future self. Now tell me what did my future self tell you?" I answered "He didn't tell me much as he didn't have time. He only told me to save the world. Might be from the Otsutsuki clan."

Homura nodded "So, It seems my brother and the chosen one failed". I nodded "Might be the case. He was also in a hurry" then asked "WHat about your brother Hagoromo? Can I meet him as well?" Homura hearing me shook his head "I was able to meet you because you had my chakra. I am just connecting with you using my chakra and not really appearing in this world.

We can only come once to this world and our sould would dissipate unless we apply Kama seal onto another person and take over his body once he is strong enough, But we are not interested in returning.

That must be the reason my future self entrusted the matter of saving the world in your hands. Hogoromo can meet you if you can have either his or his son's chakra. If he comes out to meet you now, like I said before, His soul would dissipate and he cannot see help the chosen one".

I nodded in understanding. 'It must be the reason Hogoromo trusted Naruto and waited even after watching everything done by black zetsu. If he had attacked black zetsu and failed, He might have perished without helping naruto & Sasuke.'

Suddenly I remembered my predicament and asked "Homura san, I opened the gates of the body and cannot close them. I'm dying now." Homura laughed "Hahaha.... No need to worry child, You have absorbed almost all of my chakra and also some of my mother's chakra.

The six paths power comes from our chakra. As you have absorbed almost all of my chakra, your chakra totally changed. So, when you open the gates, they will be permanently open and you will not have any side effects as yours and my chakra are similar."

Hearing this, I was shocked and Happy as I asked "Then I can open the gates without side effects?" Hamura shook his head and answered "You can only open the first gate and not anymore until your body can hold the pressure. your soul is strong to handle the pressure of all the 8 gates, but your body cant."

I understood his words and asked again "So, I will have to train my body before further opening the gates right?" Hamura nodded and said "Thats right, but I also feel a time power Inside you more like the power of the Ryumaku.

That energy is constantly reversing the time inside your body. It's a blessing and a curse. So I will seal the power until You are ready to feel and control that power." I knew that Ryumaku had time travel abilities and is in Roran from the anime, but I don't have much details.

So I asked him "Homura san, What is this Ryumaku?" Hamura listening to me started explaining "The Ryumaku is an otherworldly creature which can control time. I have not seen one, but I heard stories from my mother that she had captured this beast and extracted it's energy.

But she lost the energy in the fight between another person in which she was heavily injured. She then came to this world in search of that energy at first." This was a lot of information to take in. I then started my thinking 'This must be a beast that the otsutsuki capture to time travel just like the one used by Urashiki.'

Homura spoke bringing me out of my thoughts "Then child, let me seal that power and send you back." He then came near me and placed his hand on my forehead and continued "My future self trusted you. So I will trust you as well. This is a gift. The power of my decendants called Tenseigan.

As you have the borrowed sharingan in one eye, Let me give you tenseigan on the other. Your eyes won't change now as tenseigan is not simple as Sharingan. It's more potent. You need to open the 5th gate for it to activate without any side effects to your body." Hearing him I asked "How strong were you and your brother Homura san, Have you opened all the gates?"

He smiled and answered "If you permanently open the 7th gate, you attain the power of me and my brother. If you can open the eight gate and stay alive, you can rival our Mother. But we couldn't open the 8th gate permanently as our body was from this world and couldnt handle anything more than the seventh gate.

So, my brother received help from the toads and learnt to gather Natural energy and become a Sage to confront our mother. But it took all me and my brother had to defeat her and seal her, but we couldn't manage to kill her. So we separated the energy she had and we both took some of it sealing inside us and we sealed the remaining in the moon which my brother created."

I listened to everything while Homura was pushing his chakra into me from my forehead. after a while, he removed his hand and spoke "It's done. I have sealed the Ryumaku's energy and also given you remaining of my chakra so you can awaken the tenseigan in the future. According to my analysis, You can open upto the 6th gate permanently with your body.

As my future self depended on you, I also have given you the remaining part of my mother's chakra I possessed. It will help you in critical time and can save your life once even if you die". I was surprised as I asked "Is it like the Izanagi?" Hearing me Homura was once again surprised that I know about Izanagi, but did not dwell on it.

He just nodded and replied "You could say that it's similar to Izanagi, but Instead of bending the reality, my mother's chakra that I gave you will resurrect you from the dead by healing you fully once. I hope you will not have to use it. Anyway, I will leave now. I can't keep a living soul here too long, or you will also die.

So, take care child until we meet again and don't disappoint me. Become strong and save the world." He said and everything turned black for me again and the next moment, I was in front of Gai at the training ground. Not much time had passed in the real world as I saw Gai still panicking.
