Inside a large house in the Uchiha compound in Konoha, Bakorio sat alone directly on the floor of his room and contemplated what he had just gone through…

'I never expected the powers I have to face will be this strong… This isn't something I can handle on my own anymore…' thought Bakorio as he remembered his fight with Seiryu…

'That monster is almost unkillable, I need something far stronger to deal with him… I at least need to even the field in terms of chakra quality or maybe even surpass it if possible… However, what route am I supposed to take? Whatever I want to do, I will have to go through them since they are hoarding every special energy available and it would alert them…'

With the exception of the dragon essence he sensed inside Seiryu, Bakorio had to choose between either adding hell's energy, pure land's energy, or demonic energy to his six path chakra and dark chakra if he wished to reach a similar chakra quality to theirs…

'But even then, it's not necessary I can beat them in terms of skills, just that guy's Doji, sharp release is far superior to mine and was probably already mastered… I could also sense that Seiryu had a similar mastery of advanced chakra, probably tremor release which he coated his scales with to absorb and disperse any impacts on his scales… Damn it, this is getting far more complicated… I need to change my plans'

After getting depressed for a while, Bakorio recalled the reason he had to stay out of the fight for its initial period and couldn't help but smirk 'Maybe it's not completely helpless with her help…'

…

-Flashback-

Back then when Bakorio used infinite Jikininki on the moon, his body was suddenly invaded by a foreign soul which he recognized as none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki!

"How did you get into my body?" Asked Bakorio while staring at Kaguya warily since soul fights weren't his fort, something he learned the hard way from Amatsu who almost killed him. Although his soul was greatly strengthened after mastering all 6 sage modes and fusing them into 6 path sage mode!

"Young man, we meet again" spoke Kaguya with a soft voice taking Bakorio by surprise as he thought 'When did I meet her? Don't tell me… Was the silhouette summoned during my time in the eternal chamber the true Kaguya and not something the system just came up with?'

"Don't be wary young man, I'm not here to hurt you… In fact, I can't hurt you even if I wanted to with my current weakened state and this body not being prepared to host me…" Spoke Kaguya with a sigh…

'Prepared to host her? Is she referring to black Zetsu?' Countless thoughts swirled through Bakorio's head before he spoke "Why did you come here then, you should know that trusting someone whose hands are as stained as yours isn't easy right?"

Bakorio could feel that Kaguya felt sad after he uttered these words but she still forced a smile on her face and said "I'm here to thank you, for removing the curse laid on my heart since the moment I landed on this world…"

'Curse? Did she have a seed of darkness even in her current soul form?' Bakorio's soul shivered slightly at the thought of what could be hidden in his body without his knowledge but Kaguya quickly eased his worries…

"Don't worry, the light of your eye ability has cleansed all traces of that curse"

"I see, well you are welcome then, but the situation might turn dangerous soon and I can't keep talking with you for long…" Said Bakorio and Kaguya shook her head with a sad look and said "The situation is beyond your current ability, 4 supreme existences are waiting outside and already started fighting with your friends, their power is at least similar to mine…"

"Then get me out of this place quickly!" Yelled Bakorio since he didn't know how to get out of their current weird location... Meanwhile, Kaguya stared at him silently before she said "I wish I was able to repay the favor and help you… Unfortunately, there's nothing much I can do in my current state. I just hope you can survive this somehow"

Then Kaguya dispersed the weird spiritual space they were in with a sad look on her face, this was the first time she talked to anyone in ages, yet it had to be cut so short unfortunately… If only there was another timeline where no enemies waited for her…

-End of flashback-

'Enlisting Kaguya's help is a must, I might need to get the help of every single power I can get… This war is no longer something that could be handled on my own… Thankfully revived Kaguya is quite strong… And I might not even need to give her the ten tails to get her back on her feet...'

A plan quickly started forming in Bakorio's mind before he clenched his hands tightly with his eyes closed and thought 'I can't let that scene repeat itself again!'. With this promise to himself and a new goal to work toward, Bakorio opened his eyes and left his room with a smile… Although whether it was genuine or not, no one could tell…

…

For the next few days, Bakorio handled many things, first he sent a clone to inform Endai that they weren't in a rush and that they should wait for the sky stone to completely restore all of its lost energy before they decided on what to do after…

Then he went to Fugaku's office and made a weird request that this Uchiha clan head wasn't expecting at all "What? You actually want to be a teacher?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Asked Bakorio with a smirk and Fugaku couldn't help but stare at him suspiciously as he thought 'What's going on with this kid? He always seems to be in a rush, but now he actually wants to settle down and become a teacher… Something suspicious is going on here'

"Sure, but you need to at least be recognized officially as a Chunin to apply for a teacher role but your rank is…" Fugaku stared at Bakorio's defined muscles that seemed to be about to pop out and said "You have no rank currently…"

"Can't you just give me a rank directly? I'm sure no one would disagree… And if they do" Bakorio shot Fugaku a wicked smile before he raised his fist and said "I will just have to reason with them with my fists"

"Please don't, and it's not easy to just give you a rank, the rules of the village are…" Fugaku tried to bullshit Bakorio since he didn't want him in the ninja academy but Bakorio easily saw through him and said "Fugaku-kun, I don't care about the rules, tomorrow I want an elite Jonin certificate" Then Bakorio patted his shoulder with a smile and left the office and met Shikaku along the way and greeted him…

"What do you think Shikaku? I'm sure you heard everything" Said Fugaku with a sigh that was different from his usual stoic look and Shikaku couldn't help but chuckle slightly and said "it might be good for the students, it will motivate them to grow stronger, plus Bakorio's mastery is no joke, I heard from Kakashi and Guy that he already mastered all chakra transformations, and his Taijutsu is also masterful to the point that even someone like Mukai see him in high regards… In terms of teaching capability, he's definitely perfect"

"I know, but I just have a weird feeling about this sudden decision of his... It's unlike him to settle down like this after all his time rushing to train from one place to another…"

Shikaku's eyes sharpened slightly before he said "I understand your worries, let's hope it's not something far out of our capabilities…"

Fugaku stared out of the window silently while thinking 'I don't think it is in our capabilities… I could see it in his smile. He wasn't confident at all…' before he turned to Shikaku and said "Prepare the documents for me…"
