The experiences in the sealing space unfolded before Tomoki's eyes, one by one, with his ocular power.
His memories were somewhat fragmented, like jump cuts in a movie, not very coherent, but Tomoki still saw the most crucial information.
Ashura's Chakra on Naruto was growing stronger and stronger.
Especially the final eye-opening action, Tomoki didn't know what would happen when his eyes opened, but it clearly wouldn't be a good thing.
This applied to both Naruto and Konoha.
Tomoki's self-control was still very strong; his serious expression instantly switched, and he once again put on a confident, faint smile.
"Shisui, there was a small problem in the middle of this mission, but at that time, my ocular power wasn't much, so I could only try my best to bring back the intelligence. Don't worry, it's not a problem, I can solve it!"
Tomoki spoke words he didn't even believe himself, with a tone full of certainty and unquestioning resolve, then he said to Shisui.
"You've worked hard this time, consuming so much ocular power. Shisui, are your eyes alright? Tell me honestly!"
Facing Tomoki's question, Shisui thought for a moment and then answered truthfully.
"My condition is still good, it's just that my eyesight has decreased a lot, and things look a bit blurry."
Tomoki was speechless after hearing this. This was called 'good condition'? Was it that as long as he wasn't blind and could still use Susanoo, his condition was considered good?
"Go to the experimental building later and find Kabuto; he will solve your eye problem."
"No problem!"
Shisui readily agreed, but then he continued.
"There's one more thing, Kushina-senpai wants to know what you discovered. Tomoki, tell me, is it really a small problem?"
Immediately, Shisui recounted everything about sealing Kushina to Tomoki.
After Shisui finished speaking, Tomoki showed a very sincere expression.
"I understand. I will handle it then. Also, Shisui, it's really just a small problem that can be resolved at any time."
Shisui nodded at his words.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going now."
"Mm, remember to go to the experimental building."
As Shisui left the office, the smile on Tomoki's face disappeared.
Tomoki didn't dare to make a conclusion about the problem with Naruto, so Tomoki arrived at the training ground early.
When Tomoki wasn't around, Sasuke and Natsuri would train on their own.
At this moment, both of them had stopped training, the reason being that a small golden figure was showing off in front of them.
After mocking Sasuke, Naruto also expressed his intentions to Natsuri. Being a 'boss' was just a childish title from before, and now Naruto didn't want to be a subordinate.
As long as Natsuri agreed, Naruto promised that he would definitely protect Natsuri in the future.
Facing Naruto's showing off, Sasuke disdainfully muttered 'idiot,' and then thought to himself that he must quickly awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan to repay him tenfold at that time.
Natsuri, on the other hand, directly took action. It wasn't because Naruto didn't want to be a subordinate anymore; knowing Naruto's significant increase in strength, she had long since stopped caring about the old joke.
Years of companionship had long made Natsuri consider Naruto an important companion. The reason Natsuri took action was that the current Naruto had learned bad habits from Sasuke and was no longer as cute as before.
A fist wrapped in Chakra landed squarely on Naruto's stomach.
"You better act normal, Naruto!"
"Ah!"
Naruto let out a scream, followed by disbelief. He had already known how strong his defense was in Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode throughout their journey.
But why did Boss Natsuri's punch still hurt so much?
"I understand, Natsuri."
Naruto said, dispelling his Nine-Tailed Chakra and returning to his original appearance.
Tomoki, observing from the side, had his Mangekyo activated, seeing everything.
Sasuke was still the same; Indra's Chakra, though intertwined with his own Chakra, remained merely a ball of Chakra.
But on Naruto, Tomoki finally saw the exceptionally clear spiritual entity behind him.
So, this was tampered with?
Indra and Ashura had fought each other for a thousand years, and Ashura had almost never won, except for the previous incarnation on Senju Hashirama.
If it were a natural revival, it would be impossible for Ashura to revive while Indra remained completely still.
As for who did it, there was no need to guess; it must have been the Six Paths Sage.
Tomoki had long been wary of the Six Paths Sage and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, but now, the Six Paths Sage's threat level in Tomoki's mind had sharply increased.
Recalling the various abnormalities on himself, Tomoki felt that since he could interfere with Naruto, interfering with himself would also not be a problem.
The influence had always been very slight, but that influence truly existed.
Especially before, within Naruto's sealing space, it could even blur Tomoki's memory, clearly indicating an increase in intensity.
Tomoki pondered the reason and naturally thought of Turtle Island.
If it were due to the Nine-Tailed, it would be impossible for him to be affected as well.
The peculiar space on Turtle Island was most likely left by the Six Paths Sage.
Thinking of Kumogakure's Gold and Silver Brothers, and the piles of Six Paths ninja tools, everything indicated that the Six Paths Sage had stayed in the Land of Lightning for a long time.
After all, the Uchiha Clan, who inherited the Sage's eyes, only had a stone tablet and a fan as their inheritance.
