A new seal

In the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, stared at the crystal ball before him, his nose twitching as drops of red liquid trickled from his nostrils.

"Th-this... what on earth has Naruto gotten his hands on? How can it have such steamy scenes?!"

At that moment, the crystal ball showed a group of young women in bikinis wildly swaying their shapely bodies on a dance floor.

Although the Hokage World had some modern features, it... wasn't yet liberal enough for a group of women to throw a party in bikinis.

The sight of those women with their smoking-hot bodies was more than the Third Hokage could handle.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

"No... Naruto is so young. How can I let something like this corrupt him?!"

The Hokage wiped his nosebleed with a handkerchief and decided to confiscate the black box that was corrupting Naruto's innocent young mind.

Meanwhile, Naruto was at home playing Grand Theft Auto V, completely unaware that an old pervert had set his sights on his computer.

Actually, Naruto knew that the Third Hokage regularly used his Telescope Technique to check on the villagers, whether he had a reason to or not. Naturally, that included checking on him.

Naruto didn't have much to explain about playing on a computer. If anyone asked, he would simply say he had invented it himself!

Besides, the Anbu had already informed the Third Hokage that Naruto had indeed hammered this laptop together with a hammer and a wrench right before their eyes. There was no doubt about that.

And in the Shinobi World, ninja villages generally didn't pay much attention to anything unrelated to ninjutsu.

In this technologically underdeveloped era, ninjutsu and the chakra they cultivated themselves were all that mattered to ninja.

Even Orochimaru, the Shinobi World's only scientist, based all his research projects on chakra.

Just as Naruto was happily playing his game, Wolffy's voice rang out in his mind.

"Naruto, I'm running out of materials! Come to the Sealing Space and replenish them for me!"

Hearing that, Naruto immediately stopped playing. After pausing the game, he sent his consciousness into the Sealing Space.

At the same time.

In a tree outside Naruto's home.

Two Anbu wearing animal masks were conducting a handover.

"Bluebird, how is Naruto Uzumaki doing?"

The Anbu named Bluebird shrugged. "I don't know either. Lately, he's been sitting there staring into space like this every now and then."

"There's no chakra fluctuation, and it doesn't look like he's training!"

"Could he... be sleeping sitting up?"

Hearing Bluebird's words, the Anbu who had just arrived shrugged, equally puzzled.

"What are you doing here? It's not time to change shifts yet, is it? Does Lord Hokage have new instructions?"

At Bluebird's question, the newly arrived Anbu immediately replied.

"Oh... right. Lord Hokage said to find a way to bring him the black box Naruto's been playing with. He wants to see whether it poses any danger to Naruto."

Bluebird had no idea what danger a laptop could pose, but... he did know that the scenes on it were incredibly steamy. Even he, an Anbu who had been single for who knew how many years, felt the urge to sneak off and rub one out.

Thinking about Lord Hokage's order, Bluebird wondered, Before I hand this black box over to Lord Hokage, couldn't I take advantage of the shift change to... study it a little myself?

Inside the Sealing Space.

When Naruto entered, he saw Wolffy roasting a leg of lamb, with Animal World playing on the computer in front of him.

"Naruto, want to have some?"

As he spoke, Wolffy waved the roasted leg of lamb in his hand.

Naruto shook his head. Then, with a thought, he manifested all sorts of household appliances, materials, and parts-anything he knew about.

Only after finishing did Naruto turn to Wolffy and say, "Wolffy, you should eat a little less! Keep this up and you'll turn into Charred Taro!"

Although only seven days had passed, Wolffy had already grown a whole size fatter.

Hearing Naruto's words, Wolffy waved a hand. "Don't worry. Even if I get fat, one weight-loss pill will fix it!"

Naruto was speechless.

"Fine! You're an inventor who breaks all the rules. Whatever you say!"

Naruto turned toward the cage with the sealing tag on it and asked, "Still no movement in that cage?"

Wolffy shook his head. "None!"

Naruto had actually noticed the changes in the cage several days ago. Since it could close again and have its sealing tag reapplied, the most likely explanation was... someone else would appear inside it.

When they first discovered the changes in the cage, Wolffy had prayed that his wife or son would appear inside.

Then their family could be reunited and live a life where they had lamb to eat every day.

After living in the Sealing Space for a few days, Wolffy found it more comfortable than the Green-Green Grassland.

The Sealing Space wasn't actually small, and Naruto had already turned most of its land into grass. By now, the entire Sealing Space could be called a grassland.

On top of that, Naruto had created groves, lakes... and other landscaping projects, making it the most comfortable living environment Wolffy could ask for.

Ignoring Wolffy as he gnawed on his leg of lamb, Naruto walked over to the cage alone and tried to make out what was inside.

But no matter how he looked, the cage remained pitch-black inside, unlike when Wolffy had first been locked in it.

Looks like... Wolffy isn't the only thing my cheat has to offer! Who will appear next? And... how do I get the person inside the cage to appear?

After inspecting the cage without success, Naruto went over to the Nine-Tails' cage.

The environment on the Nine-Tails' side was worlds apart from Wolffy's.

The Nine-Tails' side was dark and damp, with a shallow layer of water underfoot. And Wolffy's side? Not only was it sunny, but the landscaping was fantastic.

Naruto had actually wanted to improve the Nine-Tails' living environment too, but... to his frustration, his word-fulfilling power's manifestation ability didn't work on the Nine-Tails' side.

The Nine-Tails was pretty frustrated too.

Every day, he watched that wolf eat wonderfully fragrant food right in front of him and run freely in the sunlight. Although they were both inside the Sealing Space... life on that side was practically no different from life outside.

Although he badly wanted a change of environment, the Nine-Tails would never submit to a little brat like Naruto.

Who was he? The being with the most tails and the greatest strength among all the tailed beasts.

How could mere food possibly tempt him?

When the proud Nine-Tails saw Naruto approach, he neither threatened Naruto nor reached out with his claws to swipe at him. He simply lay there quietly.

Seeing this, Naruto grinned. "Let's see how much longer you can hold out, you stubborn Kurama!"
