Chapter 365 Energy Transformation
Chapter 365 Energy Transformation
"The sun... is so close... I never imagined that one day I would see such a sight with my own eyes."
Naruto hovered in the void, gazing at the enormous, blazing white object that filled his entire field of vision, radiating light and heat, his heart filled with shock and emotion.
Prior to this, he had just "visited" a planet with an extremely harsh environment—a planet that appeared to be composed of violent cyclones and liquid matter.
The environment there is hell for humans: terrifying gravity, deadly radiation, magnetic storms that tear everything apart... Any ordinary life would probably be reduced to dust the moment it arrives.
However, Naruto felt almost no real discomfort or harm. It wasn't that he felt nothing at all; when those violent energy impacts hit his "body," he could still sense a strange sense of pressure and energy flow.
However, they were greatly weakened and ultimately failed to cause effective damage to Naruto's body. Gravity, radiation, magnetic fields... to the Otsutsuki, these seemed to be merely "environmental background" factors that required a little attention.
His original first stop was the moon, the closest planet to Earth, but the vague memory of the Sage of Six Paths' descendants living there made him give up the idea.
Rushing in would likely be seen as an intruder, potentially triggering unnecessary conflict. Therefore, he chose other planets that were "not so friendly" to humans as testing sites.
"Naruto, the environment here is too unstable and too unknown! Let's go back quickly!" In his inner world, Minato Namikaze, through Naruto's senses, "saw" the cosmic landscape outside that was far beyond his comprehension, and urged him anxiously.
"Okay, Dad. I'll be right back." Naruto replied, but his gaze remained firmly fixed on that star.
In his limited astronomical knowledge, the sun was a "red fireball." But what he saw with his own eyes now was an extremely pure, almost boundless, incandescent white field filled with destructive light energy. The brightness of the central area was so intense that, if it weren't for the special nature of his eyes, he probably wouldn't have been able to look directly at it.
Without special protection, looking directly at the sun at such close range would be bright enough to instantly burn or even completely melt the retina. But he didn't experience that stinging or burning sensation. On the contrary, his strange right eye, with its black background and golden pupil, was now uncontrollably trembling and heating up slightly.
Although Naruto had never dreamed of becoming an astronaut, at this moment, witnessing and standing in the vast universe that humanity has been trying to explore and understand for thousands of years but has always been out of reach, a feeling of insignificance, awe, and infinite possibilities still surged in his heart.
"Naruto! Get out of here right now! Something dangerous is coming!"
Suddenly, Kurama's roar, filled with rare terror, resounded within Naruto's inner world!
Naruto felt a chill run down his spine!
Almost at the same instant—there was no sound, but a destructive energy surge powerful enough to make one's soul tremble suddenly struck from the direction of the sun!
In the field of vision, at the edge of that blazing white light, there seemed to be an even more dazzling and violent white "ripple" that suddenly erupted. It was an ultra-high intensity light radiation and high-energy particle stream that the sun had seemingly insignificantly ejected energy—a solar storm that might be "small" in the vast universe and might not even have a significant impact on distant Earth.
But at this moment, for Naruto, who was not far from the path of the "storm", this "small" outburst meant annihilation!
The threat of death, like a cold steel needle, pierced through every nerve in an instant!
Too fast! So fast that my mind can barely keep up!
Driven by instinct, Naruto's first thought was—use the Flying Thunder God Technique! Instantly teleport back to Earth! Activating Yomotsu Hirasaka requires focused concentration and a brief formation time, which probably wouldn't be enough!
His mind raced, his chakra surging wildly as he tried to pinpoint the coordinates of a Flying Thunder God technique on Earth that he knew by heart...
...No response at all!
It failed! This is the first time Naruto has failed to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique since mastering it!
After a moment of shock, a chilling realization struck Naruto.
distance!
The average distance between the sun and the earth is about 1.5 million kilometers.
The Earth's diameter is approximately 12742 kilometers.
This means that the distance from his current location to Earth is approximately... 11740 Earth diameters!
The teleportation distance of the Flying Thunder God Technique is not infinite; it depends heavily on the caster's chakra reserves, understanding of space and time, and the clarity of their coordinates.
Such an astronomical distance... it's probably unknown whether even Kaguya Otsutsuki's entire chakra could be used to cross it in one go!
Before there was time for regret or fear, the destructive light and torrent of particles were already upon us! Our vision was almost completely swallowed up by pure, incandescent white!
Naruto poured all his hope and will into the violently trembling golden pupil in his right eye!
Too slow! He could feel the heat and radiation, enough to annihilate everything, already reaching his body surface!
The expected excruciating pain, burning, and disintegration did not come.
I didn't even feel anything.
Has his body... been completely annihilated? He can't even feel pain? This thought flashed through Naruto's mind, but then he realized something was wrong—his thoughts were still there, his consciousness was still clear!
He was even worried that Yomotsu Hirasaka might accidentally bring the solar storm back to Earth, so he subconsciously stopped his eye technique.
So... what exactly is my current state?
Naruto "looked down" at his own "body".
What came into view was not a familiar flesh and blood body, but a deep blue expanse shimmering with a faint light.
Moreover, this blue color is not a solidified whole, but is composed of countless tiny blue energy points that are tightly clustered together... This form looks strangely familiar.
The next moment, he understood.
In his "vision," the devastating solar storm swept past without hindrance, like passing through a phantom, and rushed into the depths of space without causing him any harm.
His right eye, with its golden pupil, continued to flash with a strong, steady light.
At the same time, he clearly "felt" that his entire existence was now existing in an unprecedented way—transformed into countless "paper cranes" emitting pure blue light.
...Let's go back to Earth first.
Naruto realized that his body seemed to have truly become an Otsutsuki. With mixed feelings, he thought, "It seems that this is another ability of this eye: to 'energy' existence." After the solar storm ended, Naruto opened the Yomotsu Hirasaka, whose coordinates were Earth, and stepped into the black portal.
