Although Naruto Uzumaki was still feeling uneasy, out of trust in Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Kei—and because he himself wished to resolve the Nine Tails issue—he decided to give it a try.
This strong desire was directly transmitted to the Nine Tails inside Naruto's body, making the Nine Tails feel somewhat agitated and anxious, though there was nothing he could do.
Because even now, the effects of the sealing technique improved by Kushina Uzumaki continued to persist—keeping the Nine Tails tightly bound in the sealed space like a rice dumpling.
Ever since being sealed into Naruto, the Nine Tails had never felt so stifled. It made the strongest of the Tailed Beasts both furious and depressed.
What's more, the Nine Tails was now angrier, more irritable—and even afraid. He was well aware of what was happening outside. He could still see it all, and when Naruto entered the Genjutsu Game, he could see it even more clearly—as if watching from a third-person perspective, like a spirit lingering behind Naruto, witnessing everything.
Although he would never admit it, the Nine Tails was indeed amazed by the Genjutsu Game. He never imagined the Uchiha could take genjutsu to such creative extremes.
Because of this, when Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Kei came to Naruto saying they could resolve the issue of the Tailed Beast, the Nine Tails felt both furious and panicked. After all, he had once been controlled by Madara Uchiha, so he harbored deep wariness and hatred toward the Uchiha Clan.
If the Uchiha Clan once again produced someone at Madara's level with a Mangekyō Sharingan, it would bring back the fear of being controlled—and the humiliation of being toyed with and dominated!
That kind of experience… please, no!
If it had to happen again, then at least—at least let it be in a thousand years!
Yes, this was the true thought of the Nine Tails from the parallel world. He was now truly afraid, angry, and overwhelmed—as if heading to the execution grounds.
And in such a state, Minato directly used the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to teleport both Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Kei away.
Obviously, for safety reasons, this ritual to resolve the Nine Tails issue in Naruto would not be conducted in an ordinary house.
The three of them arrived directly at Uchiha Kei's residence, where barrier techniques had already been prepared. Even if the Nine Tails' chakra burst out of Naruto's body, it wouldn't be discovered. Sealing techniques were also at the ready—just in case—to ensure that the Nine Tails could be suppressed immediately if he went berserk.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Kei's personal Uchiha Guard were also fully stationed in the area.
Looking at all the eyes with three tomoe spinning in their Sharingan, Naruto couldn't help but be awestruck—he had never seen so many Sharingan before. This made Uchiha Kei glance at him—Naruto's comment was something of a dark joke, since in his world, the Uchiha Clan had been annihilated.
At the same time, the Nine Tails inside Naruto, viewing everything through Naruto's eyes, felt chilled to the bone at the sight of so many "evil" Uchiha. The entire fox felt unwell.
Because he could clearly sense that, although these Uchiha only had Three-Tomoe Sharingan, their strength surpassed even Sasuke Uchiha from his world. They had all reached the absolute limit of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan—on the verge of awakening the Mangekyō, held back only by their bloodline and talent.
If that final barrier could be overcome, they could awaken the Mangekyō instantly under sufficient stimulation.
Compared to them, Sasuke's Three-Tomoe Sharingan was like a beginner in the early stages of mastery standing before seniors who had already perfected their level.
It left the Nine Tails dumbfounded. From what he remembered—even when he'd seen the Uchiha through Kushina's eyes in another world—their Sharingan couldn't compare to what he saw here.
So, what exactly happened in this world? Why were random Uchiha this strong?
The Nine Tails from another world couldn't comprehend it—but he was profoundly shocked.
Apparently, while this Nine Tails had seen the Genjutsu Game, without personally experiencing it—and never witnessing how the Uchiha used it—he didn't understand just how terrifying the game's enhancements were for the Uchiha.
Though the number of Mangekyō Sharingan users wasn't as exaggerated as the anime filler arcs, the key figures had already awakened theirs.
The Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna, Clan Head Uchiha Masanobu, the cheat-code-like Uchiha Kei, Fugaku Uchiha—the so-called Ninja Tortoise of the Uchiha—and Obito Uchiha, who had already awakened his Mangekyō but hadn't realized it yet due to his young body's inability to support the chakra cost.
Besides them, Uchiha Naori, who had always stayed by Uchiha Kei's side—and was entrusted with bearing pure-blooded Uchiha children alongside him in the future—was also on the verge of awakening. She just needed one final push.
There were also many other Uchiha who, just like the Nine Tails sensed, had achieved the "perfect" Three-Tomoe state. They only lacked the bloodline and talent to take the final step to awakening.
But that barrier wasn't necessarily unbreakable. After all, one must believe in Orochimaru, the master of core technologies—his research would eventually help the Uchiha overcome the limits of bloodline and talent.
In fact, regarding his research on White Zetsu, Orochimaru had already made a breakthrough—and was close to uncovering the secret of immortality.
As for whether he would eventually develop Living Corpse Reincarnation like in the original story, that was a matter for the future.
In any case, for the current Orochimaru, the goal he had pursued for most of his life—"eternal life"—was no longer an issue. What he sought now was infinite knowledge.
Then, as Naruto was marveling and the Nine Tails was trembling with fear, Uchiha Kei directly activated his Sharingan and used "Genjutsu: Initiate" to pull Naruto into the vast Mental Network World.
As for Minato Namikaze—he had the access privilege and could simply use it to enter.
Naruto felt a moment of disorientation, and the next thing he knew, he was standing in a colorful field of flowers. The beautiful sea of blossoms and the fragrance in the air created an environment so pleasant that just being here would lift anyone's mood.
Especially with the perfect weather—the sun shining warmly but not harshly—there was a comfortable spring-like feel, making one want to pitch a tent or set up a lounge chair and take a long nap.
Naruto instinctively took a deep breath, instantly feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
Soon after, he noticed a large parasol not far away—its material unknown—casting a shaded area. Under it were a white round table and five chairs.
The setup gave Naruto a strange, unfamiliar feeling—new and intriguing.
Just as he was filled with curiosity and confusion, Uchiha Kei suddenly appeared beside him, startling the boy enough to nearly jump up.
Before Kei could say anything to the shocked Naruto, Minato Namikaze also appeared in a flash of golden light, wearing his usual warm smile.
"I'm not late, am I?"
Uchiha Kei waved it off. "Right on time. I didn't adjust the time flow this time, so no need to worry about that."
Then he turned to Naruto and said, "Come on, Naruto. Let's go sit by the chairs over there."
Naruto quickly nodded in understanding and followed the two "grown-ups" toward the shaded area, marveling at the environment along the way and unable to stop himself from gasping in amazement. He knew this was the "Genjutsu Grand World" they had mentioned earlier—an even more powerful realm than the Genjutsu Game.
Once they were seated around the table under the parasol, Naruto eagerly asked, "Uncle Minato, Uncle Kei, what do we do next? Is there anything I need to do?"
Minato smiled. "No rush. We're still waiting for one more key… lady to arrive. So we'll wait a little longer."
When he mentioned the guest, Minato hesitated slightly—as if unsure how to address her—but ultimately went with "lady."
Naruto was a little confused about why Minato had trouble saying it, but knowing he didn't really understand this place at all, he kept quiet to avoid sounding foolish.
Not long after, accompanied by a ripple of space and the faint scent of luxurious perfume, a "new character" appeared.
With silver hair down to her waist, a pair of white fox ears on her head, and nine white fox tails flowing behind her, she was an exquisitely beautiful woman. Her natural charm blended with divine sanctity and noble pride—like a majestic queen—dressed in a white kimono adorned with gold and hints of red. She gracefully sat down in one of the empty seats.
Her appearance—beyond the realm of normal human beauty—instantly left Naruto stunned. His face turned red as he quickly averted his gaze.
For a young boy, this sudden beauty was far too much stimulation.
However, for the Nine Tails inside Naruto, seeing this Nine-Tailed Fox Woman left him completely stunned. His entire fox body froze, and his mind entered a blank "factory reset" state—as if countless unfathomable cosmic formulas flooded into his brain. It was as if the truths of the universe were being injected into his soul, crashing the consciousness of the strongest Tailed Beast.
Then, while Naruto was blushing and the Nine Tails frozen in shock, the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman spoke. Her voice was elegant and alluring, carrying a mature charm as she lazily said:
"How interesting… So this is the 'me' from another world—and the new Jinchūriki of 'myself'?"
