"The world I once belonged to was called the three-dimensional world, while the world we're in now is a two-dimensional world. There's only one three-dimensional world, but the two-dimensional world has countless branches..."
"This two-dimensional world, called Naruto, was born from the pen of a man in the three-dimensional world. His name was Masashi Kishimoto!"
Yu revealed the most earth-shattering secret yet to Ryushiki!
"You're saying I'm a character in a drawing?" Ryushiki burst into incredulous laughter. "Hahahahaha... what a joke!"

Ryushiki, of course, knew nothing of Yu's thoughts. At that moment, he was utterly bewildered!
