"Actually, I can sense Sasuke's presence too. I just can't bring him back from another space!" Naruto Uzumaki said as he watched his surroundings warily.
Shihōin Naraku instinctively glanced at him.
Not only did Naruto now possess the power the Sage of Six Paths had passed on to him, but he had also gathered chakra from the Nine Tailed Beasts.
His abilities had therefore risen to an astonishing level.
Even though Naraku was already stronger than him, the gap was not all that large.
So when Naruto said he could sense Sasuke Uchiha's presence in another Alternate Space, Naraku believed him.
There was no helping it. With the Sage of Six Paths personally giving him a boost, it was only natural for his strength to reach this level.

"That black
