Naruto: Did i Just Get Reincarnated as Gojo?-Chapter 269: Gojo’s Motive for Coffin Seal!

"My reason... is that I believe I can control the Ten-Tails! If, despite our best efforts, Black Zetsu somehow revives the Ten-Tails, and no Rinnegan exists to suppress it, I will risk my life to seal it within myself, preventing catastrophe!"

"Or, if the Ten-Tails crisis is averted in this era, I will pass down this jutsu through generations. The Gojo family will serve as the final safeguard against the Ten-Tails!"

"This is my resolve!"

"Excellent!" Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki exclaimed, his voice filled with admiration. "Gojo Kaigetsu, your resolve shines brighter than the sun! I believe your will can overcome the Ten-Tails!"

He tapped his staff on the water's surface. "The greatness of humanity lies in the greatness of courage! The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage... I shall grant you the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal!"

"Extend your dominant hand!"

Gojo Kaigetsu extended his right hand. The Sage of Six Paths raised his staff and gently tapped the back of Gojo Kaigetsu's hand.

Gojo Kaigetsu's eyes snapped open. He sat up abruptly.

Looking down at the back of his hand, observed through his Six Eyes, he saw nine magatama-shaped chakra patterns.

All that acting... had finally paid off.

The Sage of Six Paths... no, Sage Venerable... was indeed watching the Shinobi World from beyond.

It was regrettable that he hadn't managed to acquire the Yin and Yang powers. But those were family heirlooms, understandably reserved for his descendants.

Still, the Sage Venerable had bestowed upon him the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal. Gojo Kaigetsu's performance hadn't been in vain.

So, you see~ Regardless of who someone is beneath the mask, everyone wears one. Get too close, remove the mask, and no one is perfect.

But if he pretended forever, the pretense would become reality!

He, Gojo Kaigetsu... always spoke in terms of forever.

He'd initially thought he could extract the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal from Obito through interrogation.

But multiple interrogations had confirmed that the cautious Black Zetsu hadn't imparted the seal to Obito initially. It seemed it was only given to Obito after Nagato's death.

Thus, Gojo Kaigetsu had no choice but to seek it from the Sage Venerable.

He asked, and the Sage Venerable gave!

The Sage's transmission was efficient!

The Coffin Seal was now imprinted on his hand, readily accessible, requiring no further study.

When the Ten-Tails manifested, he just needed to clap his hands, activate the seal's chakra, and imprison the Ten-Tails within himself.

However, becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki required more than just sealing the beast.

If one couldn't withstand the Ten-Tails' overwhelming spiritual pressure, it would break free, causing the host to explode... a pointless sacrifice.

Yes, Gojo Kaigetsu intended to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki himself!

But he wasn't driven by the noble motivations the Sage imagined, willing to risk self-destruction to seal the Ten-Tails.

Was he some kind-hearted anime protagonist? Like Yuji Itadori, extending a hand to Sukuna, inviting him to start anew? Of course not. He wasn't an idiot.

All preparations were complete.

Mahoraga, adapted to this world, now resembled a Tailed Beast chakra aggregate.

Sealed within Gojo Kaigetsu, it served as a chakra battery, providing the Mahoraga Chakra Mode when needed, remarkably obedient.

Like the Tailed Beasts, Gojo Kaigetsu could control Mahoraga within his spiritual realm.

But Mahoraga differed from the Tailed Beasts. Its combat style resembled Susanoo, possessing its own divine weapon and innate abilities.

Fugaku Uchiha's Susanoo wielded the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Blade. Gojo Kaigetsu's Mahoraga possessed the Sword of Extermination.

Mahoraga's divine weapon, the Sword of Extermination, was specifically effective against Susanoo and Tailed Beasts.

Whether Susanoo or Tailed Beast, a single strike from the Sword of Extermination inflicted wounds that were difficult to heal...

Against sentient Tailed Beasts or Shinobi-controlled Susanoo, the Sword might miss its mark, rendering it ineffective.

But the Ten-Tails was different.

It possessed immense power and defense; conventional Ninjutsu was useless against it—Countless kunai and shuriken couldn't pierce its hide; quantity couldn't overcome quality... Yet, a single Tailed Beast Bomb from the Ten-Tails could carve valleys and canyons into the Shinobi World.

But ultimately, the Ten-Tails was just the fruit of the God Tree! Unlike the Tailed Beasts, imbued with souls by the Sage of Six Paths, it lacked true intelligence, merely a stationary target.

For those unable to defeat the Ten-Tails, the God Tree Ten-Tails was a terrifying monster, an insurmountable foe!

For those capable of defeating it, the Ten-Tails was a massive power source, the final step towards godhood. Sealing the Ten-Tails within oneself achieved the pinnacle of the Six Paths level, granting unparalleled power!

Gojo Kaigetsu might not have been able to defeat the Ten-Tails alone, but Mahoraga's abilities perfectly countered it.

Manifesting Mahoraga in the physical world could counter the immense Susanoo; controlling Mahoraga within his spiritual realm could tame the Tailed Beasts!

Once the Ten-Tails was sealed within him, he would command Mahoraga to repeatedly strike it with the Sword of Extermination, taming it, breaking its bestial nature, until it became a docile power source.

And should its beastly nature resurface, Mahoraga would strike again!

Of course, even without Mahoraga, without the Sword of Extermination, Gojo Kaigetsu could use his own... teacherly techniques, his understanding of... control, to grapple with the Ten-Tails in his spiritual realm... It would be more troublesome, but certainly not as pathetic as Obito's struggle.

As for becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki...

"Hmph! That throne of the Shinobi World... Kaguya sat upon it, Hagoromo sat upon it, Madara sat upon it... Why shouldn't I, Gojo Kaigetsu, sit upon it?"
