Naruto: Bonding with Kaguya and Breaking the Caged Bird Seal

On the Night of the Nine-Tails, as an orphan of the Hyuga Branch Family lies on the brink of death, his consciousness breaks into the spiritual palace of Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"Who are you?"

The Byakugan-bearing boy locks eyes with the progenitor of chakra. Following this mental connection, Kaguya sends a wisp of her consciousness into his body, and the Caged Bird Seal silently crumbles.

This is only the beginning.

To find a vessel for Kaguya's resurrection, Hyuga Haruki infiltrates the mental world of Anbu Ninja Uzuki Yugao, then enters the sealing space of Kumogakure's Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Yugito. Kaguya's consciousness spreads like a virus, taking root in one person after another. When he opens his eyes again, Uzuki Yugao has become his puppet, Yugito is completely under Kaguya's control, and even the Tailed Beasts tremble beneath this aura.

Months later, the Kumogakure envoy is attacked in Konoha. Yugito personally joins the front lines, and a Twin Tailed Beast Bomb reduces the Konoha camp to scorched earth.

Black Zetsu emerges from underground, staring fixedly at the all-too-familiar aura around him. Hyuga Haruki simply says, calmly, "I am Kaguya's representative."

The Caged Bird Seal is broken. So whose cage will be torn down next?
