Questionable Questing

Fouredged
I want to, but it is going to take me a while. I got a job a while back and that is great, but I am stuck with a 1 hour per way commute and that has killed my hobby time. I hope to move towards my job sometime soon.
Fouredged
But if you want spoilers then I can explain the big reveal - People cultivate on one path. Copper, silver, jade, gold, and then they shatter their core breaking their mortal coil and through the gateway to the heavens, becoming immortal and starting their cultivation over, but now at the next realm higher.
Fouredged
Currently only two humans have managed that, Asura and Indra. Their reincarnations are them sending copies of their immortal soul back through the cycle of reincarnation to form more cores for them to cultivate. Asura seeks to create a gold core of gold cores. Indra seeks to shatter his reincarnation's cores to feed his primary core.
Fouredged
Thus Asura's reincarnations accept death while Indra is frustrated that none of his reincarnations have actually died yet, meaning Asura is stronger still.
Fouredged
Naruto's path is the Fishcake path, named after Naruto, the spiral patterned fishcakes in Ramen. Naruto is all spun around. Naruto cultivates backwards. He lies by being honest. He attacks by defending. He wins by losing.
Fouredged
And he walks the path of cultivation literally backwards. He STARTED an Immortal, will form a gold core, and then within that gold core form jade, silver, and eventually iron core, in that order, reaching the state of copper and finally able to use his qi freely.
Fouredged
That is why all the shit Naruto is doing using his soul as a punching bag has not killed him. Nothing in the base world actually can. He is a nascent but already immortal soul.
Fouredged
Naruto is going to "die" in the Neji fight in the finals when Neji tears the bit of Qi buried in his heart (because Neji intuited the main branch truth and thus his core will survive the process and he can numb it to the pain)
Fouredged
And then stabs Naruto in the heart. Naruto explodes into bits, passes through the gates of heaven by dual cultivating with Kurama sending Kurama the love and belonging Naruto has been cultivating the entire fix. (Not actually sex, because the point is that it's not actually about sex)
Fouredged
Naruto sees Asura and Indra, laughs because he's not done yet, and borrows a bit of Asura's yang qi to supercharge the transformation jutsu to turn back into himself.
Fouredged
Naruto then beats Neji by butchering Juken, copying the movements, but replacing the subtle grace and precision with raw power, literally poking Neji so hard his fingers pierce of poke organs.
Fouredged
Naruto strikes Neji in the heart, breaking his ribs, then shoves his bleeding hand in Neji's mouth. He uses this act of massive violence to connect Neji's wounded core to Naruto's solidifying gold core, causing Neji's core to form gold over the damage.
Fouredged
And then steps back, the crowd cheering, Naruto smiling.

Then Hiruzen announces the match over.

Neji wins by disqualification. Naruto no longer qualifies for the silver ascendency as he formed a gold core.
