Right as that true clone died, a rush of emotions and memories were transferred to Bakorio and all of his true clones making them fill a chill, and a shiver coursed through them in unison…

They just experienced a glimpse of the pain and the horrible death that the true clone went through, and if not for his strong heart, a normal person could have easily lost their mind from this kind of experience.

However, Bakorio simply collected himself and another one of his true clones moved into that secluded chamber… This clone was special as it had the Rinnegan he got from Nagato, and it simply shot the bloody room a quick glance before he manipulated the leftover bits of blood and flesh and summoned the head of the king of hell which he fed that pile of gore to.

Then, after some munching, the king of hell spat out a fully healed true clone that calmly nodded at the Rinnegan-wielding clone before he sat back cross-legged again and started contemplating 'It seems like I underestimated the effect of bloodline on the body… The flow of that energy can't be messed with lightly as it will have a direct effect on the body, however, it seemed like not all four of the bloodlines want to coexist with each other… This is quite problematic, but it only means I will need better control over my life force…'

Then, that true clone made it his sole purpose to focus on mastering how to control his life force to the point where he can control and merge those bloodlines safely without risking another gruesome death…

….

After Bakorio got over this incident, he left his doctor true clone with Ranmaru to study his Dojutsu and bloodline a bit more, while another one led Sancho to visit Mikoto…

"Bakorio-kun, it has been a while since you last visited" Spoke Mikoto with a wide smile on her face before she gave Bakorio a warm hug… He tried to dodge but he understood that the complaining he will have to deal with if he does so is much more annoying than her warm hug…

"Yes, I've been busy lately" Spoke Bakorio and as he said this, Mikoto suddenly noticed the small Sancho that was hidden behind his body and she couldn't help but ask curiously "Who's this old lady?"

"Ah, please don't mind me… You should enjoy your reunion with your son" Spoke Sancho with an honest smile and her words instantly made Mikoto's eyes light up as she quickly covered Bakorio's mouth since he was clearly about to deny it before she happily said "That's right, he's my cute little son"

'What about him is cute? Did she even see how he cruelly killed so many of the Kurosuki family?' Wondered Karachi but he didn't dare say anything as he watched Sancho and Mikoto hitting it off and Bakorio quickly explained the situation to her prompting her to promise to take care of the old lady and help her settle in Konoha…

'Now that's settled, time to approach another tailed beast …' Thought Bakorio before he bid the reluctant Mikoto goodbye and started making his way back to the border of the land of demons, his target being Killer B, the Jinchuriki of Gyuki!

…

Meanwhile, in his dark cocoon, Bakorio was analyzing everything the true clones were discovering and experiencing, but what occupied his thoughts more than anything else was the situation with the true clone that got absorbed by the darkness…

'There's still no clue on where he was transported to, and I can't locate him no matter the method or how much I focus on my connection with him… All I can be sure of is that he's still alive somewhere' Thought Bakorio with a frown on his face, but just as he was contemplating this matter, a wave of memories suddenly rushed into his brain, and he was left shocked, to say the least!

'Is this even real?'

-Flashback-

Inside an eerie and dark throne room, a voice suddenly echoed…

"We finally meet…" Spoke the figure on the throne and Bakorio's surprised eyes instantly turned empty and cold as he replied "Indeed…"

Bakorio stared right at the darkness sitting on the throne, yet no matter how much he tried to analyze it, he simply couldn't penetrate through its veil 'Finally, I got to meet this monster' thought Bakorio with his heart feeling both fear and excitement!

"It's unfortunate that this is but a clone of yours and we can't meet in person, although it's a better fit to consider it as one of your copies….' Spoke a heavy voice from the direction of the throne, and Bakorio calmly narrowed his eyes and noticed the chains tying the throne in place before he said "The pleasure is mine, how come someone like you who's been hiding his existence all this time, decided to grant me this audience"

"Straight to the point huh? I like your untrusting heart…It's really fit to be swallowed by darkness hahaha…"

Bakorio's eyes narrowed slightly and he remained silent until that guy stopped his laughter and said "First of all, I'm sure you are curious about who I am right?"

"Aren't you Jashin?" Asked Bakorio directly, and he could see a toothy grin appear from the veil of darkness that sent a shiver down his spine as the dark being said "Jashin, Chaos, Evil incarnate, Monster…. I've been called many things, most of them I can't even recall anymore…"

'Hmm? Who are these people that called him all of these names? Are they related to his chains somehow?' Wondered Bakorio as he suddenly felt like he might have guessed wrong about the true nature of this darkness and he couldn't help but ask "Who are you? or what are you?"

"Me?" Another grin appeared on the throne before a terrible aura emerged from it and hit Bakorio on the face sending him flying and smashing into the wall as the sickening voice echoed "I'm but an unholy copy of life!"

Bakorio did his best to protect himself from the weird corrupt aura before he asked "What does that mean?"

The aura suddenly dissipated as if it wasn't real and was replaced by the original pure evil and malice that made people feel like they were being watched from where they couldn't see…

"I was born an uncertainty, which earned me the title Chaos, but the fear and ignorance of the people that feared my existence made them decide to destroy me rather than give me a chance to be good, and because of that, I have no goodness left… IT WAS STOLEN FROM ME!"

The calm voice suddenly turned into rage as it started shouting at Bakorio giving him chills, and he instantly realized that whatever the thing he was dealing with might be, it was definitely not stable, and he heard it continue saying "My darkness wasn't born, IT WAS FORGED BY THIS DAMNED PRISON, AND AS DARK AS IT COULD BE, MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE DARKER!"

Then the darkness suddenly fell silent before its rampant aura started to calm down and it spoke with an alluring tone "Become my servant, I shall grant you eternal life and unimaginable powers!"

Bakorio frowned slightly at the offer and thought 'So that's why he decided to meet me huh? does he feel threatened?' before he suddenly smirked and said "Why would I join the ranks of a loser?"

The air suddenly turned still before that entity started laughing "Young man, words can't provoke me, plus, I will soon get my revenge on that bastard and make him suffer forever for sealing me here!"

'What's this supposed to mean, is he close to freeing himself' Wondered Bakorio before he spoke "I will have to consider further with my main body"

"HEHEHEHE Take your time, however, keep in mind that once I leave this place, the offer won't be there anymore for you to take…" Then, that true clone suddenly found himself back where he was before, the same island he was training his dark chakra at…
