Sealing Space Ninjutsu Research

Naruto's Sealing Space.

The enormous fox raised a red sphere high and smashed it down toward the grassland Anju had conjured.

There was no massive explosion. Instead, wisps of green smoke rose as the land dissolved.

The sphere did not vanish completely, but continued melting its way underground.

"How was that, Anju? Pretty awesome move, right?" Kurama called to Anju, sounding like he wanted praise.

"Is that sphere not going to explode?" Anju jumped to the edge of the huge pit left by the red sphere, a little speechless.

How had the Nine-Tails gone and developed a new technique? He wondered how it compared to a Tailed Beast Ball.

"Heh heh. I call it Flame Sun Courage." Kurama lifted his head high. "I built this by mixing Yang Attribute Chakra with Fire Attribute Chakra. As long as the Yang Attribute Chakra at its center remains, it won't explode."

"Then what if the Yang Attribute Chakra runs out?"

"Then it explodes, obviously. But the Fire Attribute Chakra generated during that time will all erupt at once. Like right now..." The moment Kurama finished speaking, Anju sensed something was wrong.

A blast of air instantly sent tiny Anju flying until he slammed into the huge iron gate of the Sealing Space.

A new Anju appeared in front of Kurama.

"Kurama! You did that on purpose!"

Kurama just burst into roaring laughter.

Anju looked toward the grassland, now completely unrecognizable. The new crater, more than a hundred times larger than the pit initially dissolved by the red sphere, left him somewhat stunned.

The original red sphere had been less than three meters in diameter, but this crater was nearly three hundred meters across. Part of it had already reached the edge of the Sealing Space.

After Anju walked over, he felt a powerful wave of heat rush toward his face.

In the Sealing Space, the power of all ninjutsu was suppressed to begin with. If it could still produce such a high temperature under those conditions, then out in the outside world, it would be terrifying.

Anju could not help starting to coax him. "Kurama, you've developed a future ninjutsu ahead of time. Maybe one day you'll be able to beat Madara Uchiha like it's nothing."

Kurama's eyes flew wide open. "Madara Uchiha?! Isn't he already—?"

"Don't worry, I'm not wrong. Madara Uchiha will be resurrected. I'm you from the future, after all."

"If that's the case, then I need to prepare more ninjutsu. Recently, I saw a ninjutsu that was barely passable. No idea if I can learn it."

Kurama once again turned on the Television Anju had prepared for him and started watching Ultraman.

Anju did not know whether to laugh or cry. Surely Kurama did not think this was real, right?

If he thought this was the future world, that would be way too funny.

"Kurama, want to call that little guy outside in to play?"

Anju suddenly made a suggestion that left Kurama at a loss for words.

"Anju, why do you keep trying to make me interact with humans? They're all bastards who covet our power."

"It's simple. Because humans can all be shaped. If you educate him well, you can absolutely make little Naruto obey your every word."

('◇'｀)

"Interested?"

"Hmph. I have no interest in teaching that brat outside."

Kurama put on a face full of disdain, turned his head back toward the Television, and continued studying his ninjutsu.

"Hmph, damn tsundere!"

Hmph!

Anju left, while Kurama looked at Ultraman inside the Television and once again felt lonely.

Before Anju appeared, he had never felt loneliness for any extended period of time.

Because most of the time, he had been asleep.

So there had been no real sense of loneliness.

But now there was an additional chakra body from the future, one split off from his own body. After he was sealed, he had actually stopped sleeping for long stretches of time.

Looking at the images on the Television that might be from the future, he could not help feeling lonely.

Sometimes, he also wanted to go see what Anju was doing.

So he followed Anju to Kushina Uzumaki's Sealing Space once, and then was disgusted by Minato Namikaze.

"No, wait. How about I sneak over and take a look?"

A new thought suddenly popped into Kurama's mind.

Anju, who had returned to Kushina's Sealing Space, did not notice that Kurama had secretly followed him back to "Kushina and Minato's" Love Nest.

"Minato, you're really taking it easy. You even have the leisure to read."

Anju looked at Minato Namikaze, who was sitting on the sofa flipping through the novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, with an expression of bitter disappointment.

"Wow, Anju, what kind of ninjutsu is this Qiao Feng's Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils? It's so powerful."

"You want to research it?"

Minato Namikaze sighed again. He was just a chakra body, with no way to research new ninjutsu at all.

"You don't have a body, so I'll lend you some chakra. Use it for research, so you won't have nothing to do. Once you figure something out, you might even be able to teach Naruto. Don't forget, there's still a Nine-Tails sealed inside Naruto too."

Minato Namikaze was pleasantly surprised. He had lost his body and was left with only a chakra body. Even if he researched ninjutsu, he could not apply it to other ninja because he had no body.

But if it was the Nine-Tails, who was likewise a chakra body, there would be no issue. As long as Naruto mastered Tailed Beast Transformation, all the ninjutsu he researched now could be learned by Naruto.

"Anju, did you just go see the Nine-Tails?" Minato Namikaze pointed outside.

Only then did Anju look back and see Kurama's enormous eyes outside the small house.

Anju slapped a little paw to his forehead. This guy had hidden the fact that he had entered Kushina's Sealing Space, but couldn't that massive body of his shrink a little!?

Clearly, Kurama outside the Small Wooden House had also spotted Minato Namikaze and realized he had made a huge mistake.

He had only wanted to secretly observe what Anju was doing.

Now that he had exposed himself because he had forgotten to shrink his body, there was nothing he could do about it.

Looking at Anju coming out of the small house, he said, "I just wanted to come take a look."

"All right, all right." Anju spread both hands. "As long as you're happy. Right, I don't need to introduce you, do I?"

"No need. That's the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who sealed me inside a brat."

"Strictly speaking, that's just a Chakra Cluster. Minato Namikaze is already dead. Don't drag hatred into this." Anju sensed the malice pouring off Kurama and spoke up at just the right time.

"Strange. Anju, why don't you hold much ill will toward humans? You should have felt the treatment I suffered too."

Kurama looked at Anju with some puzzlement. In his perception, he could not sense any malice toward humans from Anju at all.

What could Anju say? That he had also been human before coming to the Ninja World?

"Kurama, don't be so serious. You should know I'm from the future, so in the future, you'll become just like me too." Anju could only keep bluffing.

Fortunately, Anju's current identity shared the same origin as the Nine-Tails, so Kurama did not argue much further.

"Minato, look! I found you a sparring partner. Pretty great, right?" Anju turned back and called to Minato Namikaze, who had just walked out of the wooden house.
