The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"I'd actually be interested in becoming a magical girl," Sayaka thought, her interest piqued again.

"Do your magical girls have any side effects?"

"Besides having a bigger appetite."

"That's really nice..." Sayaka fell into reverie.

Mami Tomoe sighed, "Fine, I'll adopt the child. But don't expect me to go along with your ways."

"Even if we could turn you back into a human?" Homura Akemi looked at her.

Mami Tomoe smiled faintly: "I don't see any difference between going from being Kyubey's tool to becoming the tool of the Evil King."

Homura Akemi wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time. Maintaining the status quo for now, until they resolved Witch Night and Kyubey, was a good option.

……

The Kingdom of Light Universe.

"team leader!"

Inside the Space Garrison, a young Ultra Warrior finds Zoffy.

"The Space Intelligence Agency has just detected unusual energy fluctuations near the constellation Leo!"

"Leo?"

Zoffy's expression shifted; a major battle had recently taken place there. Could this unusual energy fluctuation be related to that battle?

"Yes."

According to observations by the Space Intelligence Agency, an extremely powerful burst of energy suddenly erupted from a closed interstellar route near the constellation Leo. Calculations indicate its power is roughly equivalent to 10 tons of TNT, which is already a quarter of the power of a Specium Ray.

"Okay, I understand. I'll send someone over to investigate later."

The Space Garrison has limited manpower and also needs to allocate personnel to guard against the Dark Legion. Therefore, intelligence of this kind, which poses little threat, is usually kept on file and only dealt with if further problems are discovered.

But considering the strange battle that had just broken out in Leo, Zoffy still felt it was necessary to investigate.

However, the team is currently severely understaffed, and even the original Zoffy has suddenly disappeared. Zoffy really doesn't know who to entrust this task to.

"Leave it to me."

At that moment, an Ultra Warrior walked over.

"Should I hand it over to you?"

Zoffy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

……

After Nagisa Hyakue was restored to human form, Murphy gradually turned other magical girls and witches back into humans as well.

However, their power cannot compare to that of Nagisa Momoe's Unit-01. Many of them are even weaker than before.

But none of them complained.

After learning the truth about magical girls, being able to return to being pure humans was already incredibly good news for them. The fact that they could retain some of their power was an unexpected bonus.

After spending several days busy in Konoha, the Third Hokage and his companions once again arrived at the tavern.

The information gleaned from the comics was extremely important to the village. They spent a considerable amount of time and effort to clarify everything.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Ultraman Observation

Although the timeline in Boruto is quite far removed from the present, and the series is limited in length with little useful content, the Third Hokage and Kakashi still managed to extract some important information from it:

For example, the five great ninja villages in the future might have a good relationship and could even join forces to save Naruto.

Furthermore, both the Sharingan and Byakugan possess a higher potential than they had imagined. Especially the Sharingan; in the future, Sasuke displayed a Rinnegan with tomoe in battle and demonstrated extremely powerful eye techniques, which inevitably gave the Third Hokage and Kakashi endless musings.

However, when they came to their senses, they couldn't help but smile wryly.

The Uchiha clan has been wiped out, and Sasuke Uchiha is the only remaining member of the clan.

The Third Hokage was filled with regret. If he had been more proactive and trusted the Uchiha more back then, would things have turned out differently?

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that the future Sasuke was still on the village's side. Otherwise, given the future Sasuke's strength, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, new concerns also arose in the third generation.

Does Sasuke, who will become a super strong ninja in the future, know the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan? And how should I treat Sasuke now?

The third generation was racking their brains.

With Sasuke's future potential, once he matures, he will undoubtedly become a pillar of Konoha. However, the hidden dangers of his past are too great. A slight misstep could bring annihilation to the village.

More importantly, he had no doubt that once Danzo learned of Sasuke's future achievements, he would absolutely not hesitate to control Sasuke and brainwash him into a weapon without a self.

Therefore, the Third Hokage finally decided to keep the manga's contents a secret for the time being and forbade Kakashi and Naruto to never mention them to anyone. Fearing that Naruto might say something inappropriate in the heat of the moment, the Third Hokage also gave Kakashi a long-term task: to keep an eye on Naruto 24 hours a day.

Besides that, what troubled him even more was how to communicate with Kurama, or rather, the Nine-Tails.

Kurama is currently sealed inside Naruto's body, and unless the seal is broken, it will be difficult for it to exert any influence on the outside world.

In addition, with the Sharingan power of three tomoe or higher, one can directly enter Naruto's mental world and communicate with Kurama.

However, the Uchiha clan had long been wiped out. The only two remaining Uchiha were Itachi, who betrayed the village, and his younger brother, Sasuke, who had not yet awakened his Sharingan.

Besides them, only Kakashi, an outsider who received a three-tomoe Sharingan as a gift from an old friend, possessed one. However, he was not a true Uchiha and could not freely utilize the Sharingan's power.

Apart from that, only the secret techniques of the Mountain Clan are capable of accomplishing something similar.

After much deliberation, the Third Hokage summoned the current head of the Yamanaka family, the Jonin Yamanaka Inoichi.

The Yamanaka clan is the "Ino" of the Konoha Ino-Shika-Cho trio. These three clans have been staunchly loyal to the Hokage's faction since the village's founding. Therefore, the Third Hokage believed it was appropriate to reveal some information to him.

Yamanaka Inoichi's first reaction to the Third Hokage's outlandish idea of ​​wanting to talk to Kurama was that the Third Hokage must be senile.

But when he saw Kakashi there, and even expressed his support, he immediately realized that the Third Hokage had come prepared.

So, without much thought, he agreed.

Despite the danger of coming into contact with the Nine-Tails' spirit, Yamanaka Inoichi, as a Jonin of Konoha, was highly prepared.

Kurama didn't really want to talk to the Konoha ninja who had imprisoned him. But the content of Boruto did indeed bring him great unease.

Therefore, Kurama didn't hide anything in the end and told Yamanaka Inoichi about his origins.

After hearing what Kurama said, Yamanaka Inoichi was completely dazed.

The Tailed Beasts were actually created by the Sage of Six Paths, and were even partners of the Second Shinobi? In other words, weren't these ninjas essentially capturing and enslaving the sect's founder?

"impossible……"

Yamanaka Inoichi's first reaction was that Kurama was lying to him. Kurama snorted coldly and angrily kicked him out of the mental space.

It knew perfectly well that none of these humans were good!

After being kicked out of his mental world, Yamanaka Inoichi actually came to a realization.

Nine-Tails... no, Kurama didn't kill me, so it seems there's some truth to what he said.

After hearing Yamanaka Inoichi's account, the Third Hokage and Kakashi felt extremely embarrassed.

After all, it was their First Hokage who captured the Tailed Beasts and distributed them to the various ninja villages. One was the founder of their village, and the other was, in a sense, their ancestor… They're in a real dilemma now!

But what truly unsettled them was Kurama's revelation that the Sage of Six Paths was likely an alien, and that his kind might descend upon the ninja world in the near future…

Previously, the Third Hokage was sympathizing with Homura Akemi and Gintoki Sakata, who were invaded by aliens. It turns out that their ninja world is the same!

So, after handing over the books other than Boruto to the village, the Third Hokage once again rushed to the tavern.

This time, he brought even more gold, intending to buy more comics and books from Gintoki.

He's spent most of his time these past few days studying manga and communicating with Kurama. But he's also taken some time to look at the old books Gintoki gave them.

The other books were alright. But "A Short History of the World" had a significant impact on the three generations.

Aside from Boruto's spoilers for the future, he felt that this book was of greater value to Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

Although he only glanced at it briefly, it still gave the third generation a profound sense of enlightenment.

He felt a pang of regret: if he had read this book sooner, Konoha Village would never have become what it is today.

……

"Welcome!" This time, Homura Akemi greeted them.

"Huh? Sister, where's Uncle Jamila?" Naruto came along again this time.

On one hand, the Third Hokage was unsure whether they could still enter the tavern without Naruto, and on the other hand, Kurama was still inside Naruto. The Third Hokage wanted to try and see if he could find a way to release Kurama in the tavern without harming Naruto.

Regardless, Kurama is considered the ancestor of ninjas and an important force in resisting the Otsutsuki clan in the future. It's not good to keep him sealed away like this forever.

Besides them, Kakashi was also there.

The fact that Danzo hadn't taken him along twice in a row infuriated him. So much so that he vandalized Danzo's office door one last time before the Third Hokage's departure.

Just as the third generation and the others entered the tavern, a tall Ultra Warrior arrived above the asteroid where the tavern was located, observing everything from thousands of miles away.

"Hyperspace fluctuations? How did those useless idiots in the Space Security Bureau even gather intelligence? They didn't even notice this! Hmph, the current Ultramen are getting worse with each generation!"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Belial's Attack

In the universe, similar abnormal energy fluctuations occur in large numbers every day, every hour, every moment, and every second.

Although the Land of Light's motto is to not overlook any potential danger, there are priorities, and normally, anomalies of this magnitude should be put on hold.

But the location of the incident was just too sensitive.

This is, after all, an original interstellar route. In the universe, every well-established interstellar route has undergone extensive research and consultation... and it is not easily changed.

Therefore, after discovering that the war seemed to have completely ended, the Covenant intended to reopen this route.

In this situation, any anomaly discovered in the waterway is as conspicuous as a louse on a bald man's head.

The energy fluctuations we saw earlier, though only a quarter the intensity of the Specium Ray, were still enough to pose a deadly threat to ships traveling along the route.

Adding to the previous battle that ended mysteriously, it's hard for Zoffy not to suspect that there's something wrong with this place.

However, this level of potential danger is nothing compared to the hyperspace fluctuations sensed by the Ultra Warrior in front of him.

"These deliberately concealed traces, and the lingering strong fluctuations... Could this be a secret outpost of the Yapools? Are they planning to invade the Leo Nebula?"

The Ultra Warrior who came to investigate couldn't help but grin maliciously.

If that's the case, then it seems they're going to suffer a major defeat this time.

……

In the Land of Light, Zoffy, having just finished gathering information, took a short rest.

He glanced at the plasma spark tower in the distance.

For some reason, he always had a strange sense of unease.

Could it be because of that information about Leo from before?

Zoffy shook his head, realizing he was really overthinking things.

Even if there are any major anomalies in Leo, since that person volunteered to go, what trouble could possibly arise?

After all, that was Belial, the man who was considered one of the two great heroes of the Land of Light, alongside Father of Ultra!

……

Inside the Monster Bar, the third generation and his friends had just received a sack of Weekly Jump magazines from Murphy.

"Lord Gintoki is truly a trustworthy person!"

The third generation couldn't help but sigh when they saw those comics with curled edges.

Naruto took out a book and flipped through it. When he realized that he was finally the protagonist this time, he couldn't help but smile broadly.

Just as they were getting ready to see what was going to happen, the bar's doors were suddenly violently pushed open.

"Welcome, light..."

Homura Akemi, who was greeting guests as usual, got her words stuck in her throat halfway through.

She has reincarnated countless times and witnessed countless desperate situations. Now, she has gained the power of the Guts aliens and become a monster girl.

But when she saw what was before her, she still felt a shiver that came from the depths of her soul.

It felt like encountering an insurmountable natural enemy.
