Inside the Sealing Space.
Nine-Tails glared at Naruto. "Brat, take another two steps forward!"
Naruto ignored Nine-Tails and began examining his surroundings instead.
The Sealing Space looked much the same as it did in the anime.
But when Naruto turned around, he spotted another, smaller cage behind him.
Inside stood a wolf, watching him.
Sekiro wore a patched cap and a scarf around his neck. Bizarrely, his head was almost as big as his body.
Most importantly... his art style was completely different from Naruto's.
"What the...?" Naruto stared at the wolf in disbelief. This was actually Wolffy from Weslie and Wolffy.
"Holy shit! Why is Wolffy in my Sealing Space?"
Hearing Naruto call his name, Wolffy froze for a moment, then grabbed the bars and shouted, "Release your king!"
Ignoring Nine-Tails's yelling behind him, Naruto walked straight over to Wolffy's cage.
Wolffy's cage was far smaller than Nine-Tails's, and it also had a talisman marked with the character for "seal."
Naruto stepped closer and took a careful look at Wolffy.
He was a little taller than Naruto was now, but his most distinctive feature was still that head, almost as big as his body.
"I know you. You're Wolffy from the Green-Green Grassland. Why are you here?"
Naruto looked at Wolffy and asked in a serious tone.
Actually, Naruto could guess that Wolffy's presence here had to be connected to his own arrival from another world.
He had always thought he had no cheat ability. Now it seemed that Wolffy might very well be his cheat.
Wolffy might seem a little lame, but he was an absurdly inventive genius whose creations could even transcend dimensions.
At Naruto's question, Wolffy shook his head. "I don't know either. I was chasing Weslie and the others, and then, in the blink of an eye, I ended up here!"
Naruto rubbed his chin, considering what to do with this suddenly appeared Wolffy.
Wolffy was a wolf, after all, so he had to pose some danger. Would he attack Naruto if released? That was an important consideration.
Just as Naruto reached that thought, he suddenly paused.
Wait... this is the Sealing Space! It should be fine to let him out, right? He's not Nine-Tails, after all.
Nine-Tails could corrode Naruto's body primarily because of chakra brimming with hatred and other negative emotions.
But Wolffy? What did he have? Naruto certainly couldn't sense any chakra in him.
With that in mind, Naruto decided to try letting Wolffy out first.
Wolffy was still shouting for Naruto to release him, while Nine-Tails watched from the cage opposite.
Naruto stepped forward, rose onto his tiptoes, and reached for the Sealing on the cage. Luckily, the cage wasn't very big. If it had been much bigger, Naruto wouldn't have been able to undo the Sealing!
With a ripping sound, Naruto tore the Sealing away.
Unlike undoing Nine-Tails's seal, opening Wolffy's cage only required tearing off the sealing talisman. The cage opened automatically.
The instant it opened, a gray-black blur lunged at Naruto.
Naruto was startled. He had considered the possibility that Wolffy would attack, but hadn't expected him to act so decisively.
"Stop!" Naruto shouted. He intended to intimidate Wolffy for a moment, then immediately withdraw his consciousness from the mental space.
To Naruto's surprise, however, the moment he shouted, Wolffy really did stop, as though someone had pressed a pause button.
Wolffy stood completely motionless. Only his eyes could move, darting around incessantly.
Delighted, Naruto stepped forward and poked Wolffy with a finger. Wolffy still couldn't move.
Naruto realized that he was probably the one in charge here. In particular, now that Wolffy was out of his cage, Naruto could control him completely.
"You can move now!" Naruto backed away a little before speaking to Wolffy.
The moment Naruto finished speaking, Wolffy regained his freedom.
Once free, Wolffy didn't attack again. Instead, he watched Naruto warily.
"Y-you... who exactly are you? Let your king out of this damned place!"
"I still have to catch sheep for my wife!"
Naruto shrugged helplessly. "I know where this is, but as for getting you back to the Green-Green Grassland... honestly, I have no idea either!"
That was the truth. Naruto didn't even know how Wolffy had appeared in his Sealing Space, much less how to send him back to the Green-Green Grassland!
Seeing that Naruto didn't seem to be lying, Wolffy slumped weakly onto the ground. Then his stomach began to rumble.
"Are you hungry?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah... is there any grass here? I'd like to eat some."
Naruto: ...
Naruto suddenly felt sorry for Wolffy. Usually, all he ate was frogs or grass...
If only I could bring some grilled lamb into the Sealing Space. At least Wolffy could finally find out what lamb tastes like.
No sooner had Naruto had that thought than a grill pan and a plate of marinated lamb chops appeared in front of him.
Naruto rubbed his eyes in disbelief at the things that had suddenly appeared.
It actually happened...
And a bottle of cola...
Naruto made the request in his mind.
A bottle of cola appeared beside the grill pan.
Holy shit... my word becomes reality... I'm freaking amazing!
Naruto was thrilled by his ability in the Sealing Space. Meanwhile, Wolffy had followed the smell of lamb over to him, drooling all over the floor.
Naruto knew that Wolffy was very likely his cheat, so... getting on his good side was essential.
Before Wolffy could say anything, Naruto began grilling the lamb chops.
As the chops gradually cooked, Wolffy's breathing grew heavier and heavier.
"S-so this is lamb... it smells so good."
Every drop of fat sizzling off the chops seemed to drip straight into Wolffy's heart, leaving him utterly intoxicated.
Soon, the chops were done. Naruto handed one to Wolffy, then picked one up himself and began gnawing on it.
As he ate, he looked back at Nine-Tails.
Nine-Tails's nose twitched a few times, drawn by the aroma as well. But upon noticing Naruto's gaze, Nine-Tails haughtily turned away, then lay down and continued pretending to sleep.
What a tsundere fox!
Naruto knew that changing Nine-Tails's opinion of him wouldn't happen overnight, so he wasn't in a hurry.
In fact, after discovering that his word could become reality, Naruto had even considered letting Nine-Tails out outright.
But... after thinking it over carefully, he felt that doing so would really be asking for death.
Nine-Tails could corrupt his thoughts through chakra, after all. That would be rather troublesome.
