Naturally.
Whether it was Naruto Uzumaki or the Nine-Tails, both of them instantly "woke up" at that moment!
"What's going on?!" Naruto Uzumaki groggily opened his eyes, but the next moment, his head drooped again.
His consciousness returned once more to the Sealing Space, where he slowly sank into slumber atop the water-filled sewers.
It seemed that someone wanted him to remain asleep!
"Interesting. Even though I weakened the separation force of the Small World, the power that broke the restraints on Naruto Uzumaki's body is no simple thing. It has already touched upon the rules on a basic level!" Uchiha Tenshu could not help but praise.

The fundamental rules applied within his Sharingan ocular technique were abilities on the same level as the other party's.
It was just that his rules were supported by his Fragment of Heavenly Dimension, whereas Ashura's power had touched upon the rules through its own strength alone.
From this point alone, the Sage of Six Paths was definitely no ordinary "ninja."
Compared to those Otsutsuki clansmen of his, who only knew how to rely on their bloodlines to crush others with brute force and had little acquired skill or ability to learn and develop their heaven-defying powers, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, had undoubtedly perfected all the methods of the Ninja World to an unknown extent.
The sudden emergence of this power within Naruto's body also filled the Nine-Tails inside him with unprecedented terror. It widened its eyes and shouted in panic, "W-What kind of joke is this?! What the hell is this power?!"
"Wait... this power, why does this power feel so familiar? It feels like I've seen it somewhere before!"
"And... is this Ashura's power? Damn it! How could this power surge out of Naruto's body?
