Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

In short, after a thrilling "field test" in space, Naruto basically figured out the additional abilities his body had gained due to the drastic changes caused by fusing with Urashiki's [Karma] power.

Besides his robust, Otsutsuki-level physique, strong enough to survive in the vacuum of space, extreme radiation, and harsh planetary environments, his right eye, with its black background and golden pupil (the name of which is currently unknown), primarily granted him two new powers.

First, [Yomotsu Hirasaka]. No prior marking is needed; simply locking onto the target location with one's mind opens a portal across space. It can be considered a "door to anywhere" on a cosmic scale.

Secondly, it can transform matter into a special form of energy called "paper cranes".

In this state, he is almost immune to direct physical and energy damage. This transformation is not a simple change in chakra form; its essence seems to involve energy that Naruto cannot yet comprehend.

Naruto felt a little regretful—he was actually quite envious of Urashiki's ability to rewind time, which could avoid fatal wounds, but it seemed that he had not inherited this "cheating" level of eye technique.

By the time he repositioned Yomotsu Hirasaka and returned to the forest on Earth, it was already dark.

Sasuke Uchiha immediately interrogated him in detail, focusing on two main points: whether Naruto had any subsequent discomfort or unusual sensations, and the current state of Urashiki Otsutsuki's consciousness within him, and whether there were any potential risks.

Naruto followed the instructions and entered his inner world to investigate. He saw that Kurama seemed to be a little tired from "educating" Urashiki, and was lying on the ground of the sealed space with its eyes closed, resting, but its aura was still locked in a certain direction.

In the distance, Urashiki's consciousness crouched on the grass. The "injuries" inflicted on him by Kurama seemed to have healed on their own. He gazed at Naruto from afar, seemingly plotting something.

Naruto himself found it very difficult to deal with the sudden appearance of a sealed "alien tenant's" soul inside him.

However, Kurama and Minato solemnly assured him that they would always "keep an eye on" the prisoner, ensuring the seal remained secure and giving Urashiki no chance to cause trouble. This would allow Naruto to live in peace.

After confirming that Urashiki's consciousness had been effectively imprisoned and posed no immediate threat, Sasuke silently noted this down.

Perhaps the experience gained here can provide a reference for resolving the potential problems on Boruto's side.

As night deepened, Sasuke Uchiha made his decision.

"Boruto, it's time for us to go. Now that the crisis here has been resolved and there's nothing more for us to do, let's return to our time."

"Huh? Leaving now? Didn't we agree to leave tomorrow?" Boruto was a little surprised.

"Plans can't keep up with changes." What happened today has been too drastic, uncovering too many secrets. We can no longer hide quietly in this world as 'wandering performers' as before. Staying will only attract investigation and questioning."

His implication was clear: rather than being repeatedly interrogated as a suspicious person, or even being forced to reveal more information from the future, it was better to leave quietly while things were temporarily over and everyone's attention was still focused on Naruto's recovery and the village's cleanup.

"Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry? At least... shouldn't you say goodbye to Aunt Mikoto and Uncle Fugaku?" Naruto tried to persuade him to stay. He could sense the deep emotional turmoil Sasuke felt for his parents who had seen the world.

"……No."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, then gently shook his head. "Knowing that they are doing well in this world, safe and sound... that's enough."

He looked at Naruto in front of him, his mind still filled with questions about "Uchiha Itachi" in this world, but when he caught sight of Uchiha Sasuke standing beside Naruto and looking at him, he swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

"...Alright." Naruto saw that Sasuke was determined to leave and didn't press the matter further. "Be careful on your way back. You still have that 'plow,' right? If you have the chance in the future, you can 'come back' to take a look again anytime."

Sasuke didn't answer directly, but he didn't explicitly refuse either. He simply met Naruto's expectant gaze and finally nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Are you leaving now? Before you do, may I ask you one question?"

Uchiha Satsuki, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly spoke. Her gaze fell on Sasuke, and the initial wariness and hostility were gone.

Sasuke looked at her, finally able to face "himself" in this world with a relatively calm attitude.

"Yes. Do you have any questions?"

Zuo Yue sighed softly, and then asked a question that made everyone present feel the air freeze instantly.

"...In your world, do I know Naruto's wife now?"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly felt himself sweating profusely.

------

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki never imagined that he would fall into such a state.

【器】successfully inherited his power, however, Otsutsuki Urashiki's personality, consciousness, and soul were firmly imprisoned deep within the spiritual world belonging to "器" by that damned sealing technique.

[Tool] The ability to kill the Otsutsuki caster's own body is rare in the long and cruel history of the Otsutsuki, but it is not without precedent.

But those who failed in the records usually ended up having their power taken away, their consciousness completely annihilated, and returning to nothingness.

But what about him?

His power was taken away, but his consciousness was imprisoned. This limbo left Urashiki feeling humiliated, ashamed, and filled with unknown torment.

Given Urashiki's deep-seated arrogance, in the past he might have thought, "I am a noble Otsutsuki!" Now, he has to live like a parasite, clinging to life in the consciousness world of a "vessel"? It's an utter disgrace! It would be better to die completely, at least then he would retain his dignity!

However, when death truly became a possibility, Pu Shi discovered that his deep-rooted will to survive, his obsession with "existence" itself, and his faint hope of turning the tide overwhelmed all the nihilistic "dignity."

He doesn't want to die.

Even though that damned fox stared at him every day with eyes that seemed to want to devour him alive, even though he couldn't muster even the slightest bit of strength, like a fish on a chopping board... he still didn't want to face death like this.

But where is the way out? How can we break free from this predicament? How can we escape this cage and reclaim the body and power that rightfully belong to us?

There was no answer. The Otsutsuki's scriptures never recorded a solution for a similar situation. He had to figure it all out himself.

"...Bastards...you just wait..."

Urashiki muttered through gritted teeth in a voice only he could hear, while warily glancing at the Nine-Tails lying prone in the distance, its aura always locked on their side, and at Minato, whose calm demeanor always made him feel uneasy.

"One day... this body... will belong to me again!" He seemed to be encouraging himself, or perhaps venting his resentment.

A self-deceiving "plan" took shape in his mind: to lie low for now, to pretend to comply. He would wait for the right moment—the moment when this kid named Naruto, due to battle, injury, or any other reason, would fall into a deep coma, his consciousness would be scattered, and his control over his mental world would be at its weakest!

By then, perhaps the seal will loosen? Perhaps he can find a gap? Even if there's only a sliver of a chance, he will try to reconnect with the already fused power and try to break through this damned seal!

In short—he needs to wait.

However, despite his harsh words and grand plans, Urashiki's body betrayed him – he moved away from Kurama and Minato's location, step by step.

Urashiki instinctively wanted to get away from the threat and find a corner he thought was safe to hide in.

He wandered aimlessly and cautiously for an unknown amount of time until, on the edge of the grassland, he saw something that stood out abruptly from the surrounding natural scenery.

The bookshelf stood quietly on the lush green grass, with many books of different covers neatly arranged inside.

"What is this?" Urashi stopped in his tracks. This was clearly not a natural landscape, but more like... something that the owner of consciousness had intentionally or unintentionally "stored" here?

He approached cautiously, his eyes scanning the spines of the books, trying to decipher the words or images on them.

Harry Potter

Battle Through the Heavens

The Three-Body Problem

Don Quixote

"Are these ancient texts? What... do they record?"

The suppressed curiosity within me was subtly stirred. In this cage, anything unusual might conceal information.
