Definitely, but what about...

Gozan was destroyed from the inside out, predictable considering a regular Rasenshuriken did just as bad to a man with more hearts than he had. The remaining tentacles shriveled up into a ball, actually separating into something like a crystal ball with a dark cloud swirling around in it. Naruto returned to normal before there was a strange reaction with the orb.

"Congratulations! You managed to destroy my body, and quite handily. I never really had a chance in a fair fight. I should have been more underhanded and tried to...oh, never mind, it's irrelevant now. I'm taking a gamble on this chance for an upgrade."

"What the hell is going on? Do I have to smash you to finish this?"

"Why waste this? This power is now yours to command. The collars, those tentacles, world domination, all at your fingertips if you literally just reach out and seize it. At the very least, if you still wish to restore the status quo, you need me to wean this village off of its current state of affairs, instead of making them face cruel reality all at once."

"You cannot be serious. How gullible do you think I am, offering me your power to serve your agenda."

"Do you trust yourself so little? You, who tamed the Kyubi, think I'm more of a corrupting influence than a tailed beast? Maybe you do things under my influence you wouldn't for a while, but the Fox must have made you do worse before, and that turned out fine. Consider it a challenge of wills. You like a good challenge, right?"

"You're starting to sound ****."

"Well, my survival is at stake here. I'll take what I can get at this point, but you've proven yourself the most worthy. Just try me out for a spin and enjoy this village a little longer. Regret the things you do, not the things you didn't do."

"Unbelievable."
