Uchiha En sat in his office, toying with a multicolored key in his hand.
This key was the reward he received after his level reached 100.
Over the past few years, thanks to the promotion of the wristband, Nijo's Chakra volume increased daily. Uchiha En benefited from Nijo's feedback, accumulating Chakra at an extremely fast rate.
About a week ago, Uchiha En reached level 100. His stats at the time were as follows:
Chakra Volume: 7500
Constitution: 2200
Eye power: 6700
Vitality: 2300
Nature Affinity: 2300
Level: LV100 (0/0)
Attribute Points: 0
After reaching level 100, Uchiha En clicked to claim the reward.
This reward was not a golden gift box but a multicolored gift box.
Inside the gift box was a multicolored key.
Uchiha En immediately checked the key's attributes.
Item Name: Space-Time Key.
Item Type: Space-Time Item.
Item Effect: Using this item opens the Gate of Space-Time. The Gate of Space-Time connects to various different worlds. Cooldown is 100 days.
Friendly Reminder: Each opening of the Gate of Space-Time lasts thirty minutes. During this time, the Player can ignore Space Turbulence and pass through the Gate of Space-Time to enter other worlds under the protection of the Space-Time Key.
After receiving this reward, the Roulette Wheel in Uchiha En's mind disappeared. His Data Panel also disappeared. However, the skills he had learned and the items he had acquired remained.
Speaking of which, Uchiha En had never used this key since he obtained it.
This was because Uchiha En was unsure if he could return after opening the Gate of Space-Time and leaving the Ninja World.
To be honest, Uchiha En didn't have much affection for the Ninja World; the person he cared about most here was Asana.
It wouldn't be impossible to take Asana and travel around outside the Ninja World now.
But Uchiha En had painstakingly managed things for so many years. No matter what, he should at least clean up the mess in the Ninja World before leaving!
Alternatively, if he ultimately failed to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan, he could open the Gate of Space-Time and slip away—that would also be acceptable.
If he were to leave now, Uchiha En would definitely be unwilling.
"Hokage-sama, the Hidden Sand Ninja matter has been resolved." Shisui, who suddenly appeared in the office, interrupted Uchiha En's thoughts.
"Is Ichibi's temper stable now?"
"Yes, that guy was quite cooperative."
Uchiha En nodded. Speaking of the Hidden Sand Ninja matter, Uchiha En felt a little annoyed.
A few days ago, Rasa contacted Uchiha En, saying that Shukaku had gone berserk again and hoped that Konoha could help deal with it.
That Rasa is truly something. The seal Uchiha En originally set up was perfect, and before Gaara turned three, he even had the Eye power of the Mangekyo to suppress Shukaku.
This gave Gaara enough time to understand Shukaku and vice versa.
Gaara and Shukaku had gotten along relatively well over the years.
Who knew that when Gaara was nine, Rasa wanted to test Gaara's control over Shukaku, so he sent the surrounding Anbu to probe Gaara.
The Anbu Ninja accidentally slipped up and injured Gaara, causing Gaara to go berserk.
At the time, Gaara and Shukaku still had a decent relationship, so Shukaku stepped in to help. None of the Anbu Ninja sent to probe them returned that day.
Rasa therefore felt that Gaara was incapable of controlling Shukaku, was very disappointed in Gaara, and publicly reprimanded him.
Gaara was just a child at the time and felt that everything was Shukaku's fault, thus blaming Shukaku for everything.
Given Shukaku's temperament, it definitely wouldn't tolerate such injustice. When Shukaku heard Gaara blaming him, he simply severed contact with Gaara and never responded to him again.
Later, perhaps because Shukaku was unhappy about being scolded by Gaara, it would occasionally take control of Gaara's body to cause trouble, leaving the Hidden Sand Village in turmoil.
After Uchiha En learned about this incident, he severely scolded Rasa, that idiot who enjoyed stirring up trouble.
Of course, this matter wasn't just Rasa's doing; other higher-ups in the Hidden Sand Village also agreed to it. They were trying to test Gaara's potential and his control over Shukaku.
Back then, Bunpuku was a Perfect Jinchuriki.
Uchiha En immediately said to Rasa: "Kazekage, it seems you still don't understand what I mean. Tailed Beasts, just like humans, have life and emotions.
Moreover, compared to us, Tailed Beasts have existed in this world for hundreds or thousands of years. They have seen countless humans and witnessed endless human nature and suffering. Their knowledge and perspective are far more long-term than ours.
However, in one respect, the emotions of Tailed Beasts are much simpler than ours: if you treat them with sincerity, they will sincerely help you.
This is why Jinchuriki must be sealed from a young age—a child's mind is the purest.
Regardless of what the Jinchuriki might become when they grow up, at least in their childhood, they harbor a trace of goodwill towards the Tailed Beast in their hearts.
It is precisely this former goodwill that allows the Tailed Beast to help humanity later on.
Yet, you destroyed this goodwill when Gaara and Shukaku had the best relationship.
Or did you think that nine years of interaction between Shukaku and Gaara would be enough for Shukaku to truly recognize him and lend him power?" Uchiha En's tone was extremely cold, causing Rasa to involuntarily shiver.
At this point, Rasa realized his mistake, but it was already too late.
To settle this matter, Uchiha En had Shisui make a trip to the Hidden Sand Village.
He threatened to kill Shukaku right in front of Gaara.
Initially, both Gaara and Shukaku thought Shisui was just bluffing, as they were both well aware that if a Tailed Beast died, the Jinchuriki would also die.
At this, Shisui condensed a ball of Chakra full of vitality from within his body, telling Gaara that with this ball of Chakra, Gaara wouldn't die.
Faced with this situation, Gaara became anxious, and he proactively stood up to protect Shukaku.
Upon seeing this, Shukaku's previous displeasure vanished, and their relationship returned to its former state.
Uchiha En, upon learning the details of the event, nodded in satisfaction.
Afterward, Uchiha En left the Village and came to Kirigakure.
Previously, Uchiha En had Minato Namikaze teach the Flying Thunder God Technique.
At the same time, Uchiha En searched various Villages for people with Spatial Talent.
What Uchiha En didn't expect was that Ninja with Spatial Talent were extremely rare. Kumogakure and Hidden Sand Village had none, Iwagakure had only one, and Kirigakure had the most with three.
