After retrieving the Ten-Tails from Kara's dimensional space, Naruto, Obito, and Madara returned to the ninja world.
Using spatial coordinates provided by Obito, Naruto arrived at Senra Cave Heaven and secured the Ten-Tails there.
Naruto had calculated this decision carefully.
Senra Cave Heaven, as the Sage of Six Paths' burial ground, contained natural energy rivaling the three great sage lands!
The Ten-Tails required devouring an Otsutsuki to become a Divine Tree, but producing Divine Tree fruit still demanded absorbing the earth's life force.
Allowing the Divine Tree to grow on ninja world soil would inevitably drain this land's already depleted remaining vitality.
Senra Cave Heaven solved this dilemma perfectly!
Naruto sought power without destroying the ninja world's developmental foundation—no killing the goose that laid golden eggs.
"Grandpa Sage of Six Paths, I'll utilize every drop of your posthumous legacy without waste. Rest easy in your next reincarnation..."
Before departing Senra Cave Heaven, Naruto harvested numerous exotic fruits for cultivating new soul produce.
Though this Kara operation failed to capture Isshiki, it genuinely seized the initiative!
In Kara's new stronghold, Jigen brooded deeply.
Three consecutive Inner losses, plus their vital Ten-Tails stolen!
Understanding the full situation, Jigen raged: "Idiotic Victor! Walking into such an obvious trap and dragging Boro and Deepa down with him, turning us into homeless dogs! If I'd known he was such a ticking time bomb, I never should've recruited him!"
Amado smoked thoughtfully: "That's the weakness of interest-based alliances. Everyone pursues personal agendas, so greater temptations easily fracture unity."
"Fortunately, this failure clarified our perspective—Uzumaki Naruto genuinely returned from the future and knows our intelligence completely..."
Jigen's expression darkened: "Without a suitable vessel, I can't act unrestrainedly. How do we handle this situation?"
Amado responded naturally: "We need unexpected power."
Jigen raised an eyebrow: "What kind of unexpected combat strength?"
Amado said: "Power that didn't exist before but does now. Observe my latest creations!"
Snap!
He snapped his fingers.
Shortly after, a girl led a boy from backstage.
The girl possessed thick blue hair streaked with pink, blue eyes, beauty marks flanking both eyes, blue earrings, and exotic clothing radiating foreign mystique.
The boy she guided wore red clothing with matching hair color, but his inherent bratty aura instantly triggered disgust.
Jigen propped his chin, studying both figures.
Amado introduced them: "Ada and Daemon—former siblings with exceptional physiques. I've transformed them into cyborgs surpassing even your current power."
Jigen asked: "This is your unexpected fighting strength?"
Amado explained: "Following standard protocol, cyborgs exceeding 'Jigen's' capabilities would face immediate termination orders, correct?"
"Therefore, Uzumaki Naruto's future timeline definitely excluded these two. Deploying them as fresh combat assets will achieve genuine surprise."
Amado inhaled smoke: "Naturally, the decision... remains yours. If you disagree, I'll eliminate them immediately like previous prototypes."
After lengthy deliberation, Jigen finally declared: "Ada, Daemon—effective today, you're Inner members..."
...
"Damn it, this is infuriating!!" Delta demolished Amado's laboratory, reducing it to complete wreckage.
Returning to witness this destruction, Amado sighed: "Delta, why this rampage?"
Delta's beautiful features twisted with fury: "I can't stomach this humiliation! You and Jigen both act like cowards! What makes that Uzumaki Naruto so special? Our people got murdered through scheming, and instead of retaliating, we let enemies waltz up and steal our Ten-Tails! Worse yet, we're hiding like turtles! Hey, ask that Jigen bastard—does our organization's name actually mean 'turtle shell'?!"
Observing the enraged Delta, Amado appeared helpless: "What would you suggest we do..."
Delta snarled: "Simple—strike first! Reclaim the Ten-Tails and blast those ninjas into meat paste!!"
Amado cautioned: "Delta, this situation isn't as straightforward as you imagine. That Uzumaki Naruto..."
Delta exploded: "Shut up, old fossil! I'm sick of your whining!!!"
CRASH!!!
She demolished the wall with one kick and stormed away.
Amado watched her departure, murmuring: "Rebellious phase... hopefully she won't attempt anything reckless."
Unfortunately, his hopes proved futile.
Delta couldn't swallow this indignity. That very night, she secretly abandoned Kara's base and surfaced in the ninja world!
Her voluptuous figure and blonde hair disappeared beneath black robes and hood. Glaring toward the distant Land of Rain, she seethed: "Uzumaki Naruto—this bastard paralyzed our operations! Kill him, and we'll operate without restraint again!!!"
Whoosh!
Delta launched skyward. Her high-heeled white boots opened, unleashing powerful flame propulsion for high-speed aerial flight toward... the Land of Rain's direction!
Delta... had decided to assassinate Naruto!
...
Deep night enveloped the village.
Naruto was home with Hinata.
Suddenly, Hinata detected something unusual.
Naruto: "What is it?"
Hinata: "The Tenseigan satellite registered an anomalous signature."
She synchronized with the satellite, transmitting imagery to Naruto—a figure streaking through the night sky at tremendous velocity.
"Her?"
Naruto immediately recognized Delta—Kara Inner member. Years ago, during Kawaki's retrieval mission, she'd attempted village assault before Naruto's intervention.
That previous battle saw Naruto victorious but hardly graceful—arguably embarrassing. His daughter Himawari had even been briefly hostage to Delta, nearly compromising Naruto's position.
Delta... was Amado's daughter. This secret only emerged after Naruto recruited Amado in his previous timeline.
Naruto reflected: "Knowing my background, Amado shouldn't have released her. So she's acting independently?"
Hinata inquired: "Naruto-kun, how should we proceed?"
Naruto replied: "If she reaches the village, she'll wake everyone. No choice—I'll handle this personally..."
Hinata asked concernedly: "Will you be long?"
Naruto smiled warmly: "Just long enough to warm the bed..."
