Konohagakure.

Naruto tried using Space-Time Ninjutsu several times before finally returning to the skies above Konohagakure, making such a commotion that he almost attracted the Anbu. Fortunately, Naruto was quick and managed to escape back home with a quick shower.

He was standing in the living room drying his hair when he heard a noise coming from the window, the bright Nikko dazzling him.

Uzuki Yugao knocked on the French windows outside the living room balcony, and with a whoosh, she pulled them open. This was the first time she had ever entered Naruto's house. In the past, she had always been outside the window or standing on that big tree.

"Lord Tsunade call me?" The whirring of the hairdryer stopped, and he turned to ask.

"No," said Uzuki Yugao. "Lord Tsunade wants you to prepare. The Raikage Village is holding Five Kage Summit, Kakashi is on a mission and doesn't have time, so you'll have to go with Lord Tsunade."

"Oh, the Five Kage Summit." Naruto felt a little guilty, probably because the Raikage was acting this way because of the Two-Tails being sucked into the Sealing Space by him.

However, he didn't use his true identity then; he used a Transformation Jutsu to become Sasuke. Even if a warrant were issued for his arrest, it would be for Sasuke Uchiha, not for Naruto Uzumaki.

After figuring it out, he smiled with relief.

"I understand. What about the other tasks? Did Lord Tsunade mention anything else?"

"No, if you have any questions, you can go directly to the Hokage Building to find Lord Tsunade." After saying that, Uzuki Yugao turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she turned back.

"You've been gone for too long. Some things have happened in the village. Do you need me to explain them to you?" she asked coolly, without the mask of the Anbu on her face.

"Yes, I need it." Naruto put down the hairdryer. "Have a seat. It's very quiet here, and there's no one around, so your identity won't be exposed."

"Mm." Uzuki Yugao sat on the sofa.

Naruto turned and brought a glass of water from the kitchen, placing it in front of Uzuki Yugao before holding it in his own hands. He then slowly leaned back, sinking into the sofa with practiced ease.

"What happened in the village while I was away?"

"A lot happened. After you left, Sand sent people over." So, Uzuki Yugao told them everything that had happened.

Upon hearing this, Naruto was somewhat speechless, thinking that Temari was actually quite righteous. She had actually gone to such lengths to change the attitude of the Sand leadership.

This return of kindness pleased Naruto, and a smile appeared on his face.

As for the matter of the Land of Birds sending envoys, he was somewhat bewildered. Shouldn't Toki hate him? After all, he had slapped her several times, and the princess's dignity was gone.

I clearly remember her eyes were red and she looked like she wanted to eat someone alive when she left. Why has she changed her mind now? Women are so fickle. It's best to be wary.

"The matter of the Toki has nothing to do with me," he argued.

"Why are you telling me this?" Uzuki Yugao looked at him in confusion. "I was just passing on information to you. Okay, it's over."

Uzuki Yugao put on her Anbu Mask and left, leaving the living room empty once again. Nine-Tails was nowhere to be found; she was probably wandering off somewhere again.

He lay back on the sofa, squinted his eyes, and pondered for a while.

Putting the mask aside for now, and not having mastered the Senjutsu from Mount Myōboku, we've captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, thus filling the gaps in our Flying Thunder God Wind Release.

Wind Release, Lava Release, and a small amount of Lightning Release. The Evil God's Hymn, Kurotsuchi Raiga's Funeral, plus that 100% guaranteed fishing rule Ninjutsu, and the Impure World Reincarnation.

In Tailed Beast Cloak form, it interferes with mental activity and can release a small amount of Tailed Beast Ball. It also possesses a fully upgraded, invisible Flying Thunder God, and two Sealing Jutsu issued by the system.

The Tailed Beast Cloak's effect on him was probably stronger than the adrenaline rush; it was difficult to stay sober for long. As for the strangeness of the mask and the power brought by the system, he didn't want to delve into it further for the time being.

The system is indeed a bit strange, and seems to have a certain bias, but it is definitely beneficial to him.

After careful consideration for a moment, he decided to start his future training with Sealing Jutsu. He would temporarily set aside his exploration of the system and first ask Tsunade about a few Sealing Jutsu to study.

It's not surprising that the Uzumaki Clan is skilled in Sealing Jutsu; this is a perfect opportunity to use the pretense of restoring the Uzumaki Clan's glory as a cover.

Once we have all the information on the Land of Whirlpools of Land of Whirlpools, we'll go there and take a look. We'll see what secrets are sealed there, and what's hidden behind the cracks in the Stone Gate.

As for the mask and the Evil God, you can ask Jiraiya. He's knowledgeable and might know some other information.

After roughly sorting things out, Naruto's consciousness sank.

He hadn't done this in a long time since he extracted the Nine-Tails. Opening his eyes, the familiar prison had completely vanished, leaving only a dark space.

Before the Nine-Tails left his body, the Sealing Space was merely a prison built by the Fourth Hokage. However, after the Nine-Tails was extracted, the Sealing Space became an independent third space due to the system's control.

It's roughly similar to Obito's Kamui, both being a third dimension that doesn't exist in this world. However, the Sealing Space can't absorb Naruto himself, and it seems unable to accommodate living people either.

Simply put, this is a warehouse.

However, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts seem to be somewhat special; at least Naruto could sense Yugito Nii's life force from the very beginning. Having lost Kurama, his senses have actually become even stronger.

Of course, limited by the Sealing Space, he could count how many pairs of Sealing Space chopsticks were placed inside.

Open your eyes.

The Yugito Nii, trapped on the cross, heard a sound and looked up sharply, only to see a completely unfamiliar face.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Me?" Naruto was a little confused. He touched his face, thinking that he wasn't wearing a mask.

However, he quickly realized that he had used Sasuke's face in Kumogakure, but now he was in this appearance. He casually picked up a mirror from a pile of goods.

"I can't see your face clearly," she said, frowning. "Who are you? Sasuke Uchiha?"

"No." Naruto looked at himself in the mirror, and his eyelids twitched.

In the mirror, Naruto's once clear face was now veiled in a layer of gray mist. Although his vision was unobstructed, from Yugito Nii's perspective, Naruto appeared as if he had been pixelated.

What's the system up to? He muttered to himself. I didn't expect there to be a cavalry function. But it's not bad to have infantry appearing on screen, at least it's high-definition and has no subtitles.

After thinking it over for a few seconds, Naruto gave up the idea of negotiating.

"Ahem!" He coughed, changing his tone, "Who I am is not important. This is an alternate dimension. You just need to know that I can come and go as I please."

"Another dimension? What's that?" Yugito Nii frowned, her face clearly showing distrust. "What's your relationship with Sasuke Uchiha?"

"I am his father," Naruto said decisively. He wouldn't pass up a good opportunity.

"Uchiha?" She was stunned for a moment, but she was clearly not stupid. She quickly realized what was happening and angrily said, "Are you playing me?"

"The Uchiha Clan has long been wiped out!"

"Watch your words." Naruto is a master at lying through his teeth; after all, he has a system that allows him to do many impossible things.

Just like now, he was shrouded in gray mist, although his voice was still his own. But back in Kumogakure, he used Sasuke's voice, so there was no flaw in his deception.

His voice sounded a little childish, so he cleared his throat and spoke again.

"I really have no connection with the Uchiha Clan. I am the controller of this alternate dimension. Sasuke Uchiha threw you in here, so you already belong to me."

The Yugito Nii were silent for a few seconds. "What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked, spreading his hands. He immediately channeled Zhou Mingrui's personality, saying with a mischievous grin, "This is just an experiment."

"???" The Yugito Nii were dumbfounded. "What?"

"No living thing can survive in this space, but you can. I think the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts are probably different from normal people," he said.

"I want to know how you did it, and of course I won't let you answer for nothing. I will also show some of my sincerity, which you can take as a deal."

Upon hearing this, the Yugito Nii fell silent for a moment, clearly not having an easy time being bound to the cross.

"Can you put me down?"

"Of course." Naruto snapped his fingers, and with a snap, the cross disappeared instantly.

At the same time, an even larger, square prison rose from the ground, directly imprisoning the newly freed Yugito Nii inside. Fortunately, the prison was large enough that she had enough space to move around even in her Two-Tails form.

She collapsed to the ground, staring at Naruto.

What does this mean?

"It's just a little precaution," Naruto said. "I'm just trying to protect myself from you attacking me. If I lose control and kill you, I'll regret it."

Yugito: "."

"It's your turn to keep your promise," he said.

Yugito Nii is definitely not a pedantic person. Even as Jinchuriki is feared by many, she remains confident and powerful. Having grasped the current situation, she sat down cooperatively and began to speak.

"I can share life force with the Tailed Beast within me. Even if I lack the essential material conditions for survival, I can still replenish myself through the Tailed Beast's Chakra."

Ultimately, they're just using the Tailed Beast as power banks.

He said "oh" and then said nothing more.

The Yugito Nii couldn't help but ask.

How can I get out?

"Get out?" Naruto looked troubled and said to her, "I don't know. You might be locked up here for the rest of your life. It'll be good if you keep me company."

Yugito was not fooled; instead, he sat down on the ground and began to think.

After a moment, she stopped dwelling on the question and instead stood up and asked Naruto.

"Back to the issue of the transaction, I need water and food now, do you have any?"

"Yes." Naruto thought for a moment. "What would you like to eat?"

"Whatever, what do you want? Or what do you want to know?" she asked, staring at Naruto.
