"This…"
Eevee hesitated for a moment before speaking. "But the little one just hatched… are you really okay with leaving her behind so soon?"
"Kuu!" (There's no helping it… I need to find a place to enter a deep sleep for a long time in order to recover my life force. I can't take care of the little one right now. You're the one I trust most, and she really likes you too. So, I'm leaving her in your care—it's the best choice.)
Articuno replied with a gentle yet weary tone.
It was pretty obvious that its injuries were more serious than it had let on.
"Going into hibernation, huh?"
Eevee paused in thought, then said, "Actually, if it's just a long sleep you need, I might have the perfect place. It's a space domain I control, where I can tweak the environment however I like. It should be ideal for your recovery."
"That way, you won't have to risk wandering around to find a hidden place to rest, and you won't be bothered by humans or hostile Pokémon. Plus, you'll be able to stay close to the little one the whole time. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Eevee activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and opened a portal to the Takamagahara Dimension. He instantly transformed one-third of the area into a pure snowy landscape, showcasing it for Articuno to see.
"Kwhoa?" (Wow… you actually have access to such a high-level domain? You're way more incredible than I thought!)
Articuno looked around in surprise, clearly impressed.
"Well? Is it okay?"
Eevee smiled as he asked.
"Ku!" (Of course. I'm in.)
Articuno nodded without hesitation.
It really was a good deal for it.
Well… not without risks. Entering someone else's domain meant putting your life in their hands. If the domain's owner had bad intentions, and you didn't have the power to break free, it could be extremely dangerous.
But Articuno trusted Eevee completely.
It had been saved multiple times by him—and most importantly, he had even saved its child. So yeah, it had no doubts about Eevee at all.
"That's great! Makes things a lot easier. The little one can stay inside with you for now too. I'll drop in whenever I have the time. She's not really in a good position to show up in public right now anyway."
"After all, your enemies are backed by a huge, shady organization. If they even get a hint of her presence, we'll be dealing with a world of trouble."
Eevee grinned as he explained.
"Kuuu!" (Got it. You're in charge. Oh, and maybe send a few more Pokémon and some plants into your domain as well. That'll help it grow and also keep the little one from getting bored.)
Articuno offered the suggestion sincerely.
"Got it! I'll take care of it!"
Eevee nodded without hesitation.
After that, he selected a few valuable items from Articuno's stash:
One Ice-type Crystal
One Mega Evolution Stone for Tyrantrum
And a top-tier Evolution stone.
Then, he sent both Articunos—big and small—into the Takamagahara Space.
After that, Eevee and Cynthia instantly teleported back to Cinnabar Island using a spatial marker left behind earlier.
...
They rejoined with Sabrina and the others, and as expected, there was a bit of an emotional reunion.
Sabrina was a little upset they had left without saying anything earlier.
But all was forgiven once Eevee gave her a magically crafted ice cream. The moment she tasted it, her mood improved completely.
"Hm?"
Just then, Eevee noticed a strange reaction coming from his left eye. He quickly checked it.
Turns out—it was due to a major change inside the Takamagahara Dimension after Articuno entered!
The Ice-type laws and energy inside had surged dramatically. Nearly half of the space was now covered in snow and frost, turning it into a proper ice world.
"Whoa! That's an unexpected bonus. So having a legendary Pokémon reside in the domain can actually boost its growth? That's seriously good news! Gotta keep an eye out for more of them in the future!"
Eevee thought to himself with excitement.
"And now, it's time to absorb Articuno's tail feather to enhance my own Ice-type power and affinity."

Naruto World
As soon as his consciousness returned, Uchiha Renzo immediately activated all the barriers and energy shields in his underground base.
Only after that did he head into the secluded training chamber and begin attempting the fusion of Sage Chakra with Source Energy (Origin Power).
Thanks to his complete understanding of the energy types—their essence and structure—plus experience from watching Eevee fuse magic with Pokémon energy, the process went incredibly smoothly.
It only took him two days to fully integrate Sage Chakra into his Source Energy .
And the moment the fusion was complete, he could feel the transformation—his new Source Energy had completely absorbed the traits and advantages of Sage Chakra, making it way stronger than before!
At the same time, Renzo realized he could now freely switch between magic, Pokémon energy, Sage Chakra, and regular Chakra on the fly!
Ninjutsu, magic, Pokémon moves—they were no longer limited by mechanics or barriers. He could use them as easily as breathing, almost instinctively.
Even better, he found that he no longer needed hand seals to use his ninjutsu.
Sure, he still had to gather energy and go through the usual prep time—it wasn't quite instant-cast yet—but the step of forming seals? Gone. Just like that.
And he was confident that over time, he'd be able to cast more and more jutsu instantly.
On top of that, the Source Energy had started nourishing both his body and his mental energy, pushing them toward a new stage of evolution.
Suddenly, Renzo noticed a huge boost in his sensory ability.
It wasn't from unlocking Observation Haki or mental perception—this was something entirely different. His Mind's Eye of the Kagura, an ability tied to the Uzumaki Sage Body, had fully awakened!
"...Wait, is that the Adamantine Sealing Chains too?"
He looked down, surprised—but not completely—at the golden Chakra chains shooting out from his abdomen.
"So the Uzumaki bloodline medicine I injected earlier didn't take effect right away, but now everything's fully awakened, huh? Figures…"
He could feel it in his cells and Chakra—the same healing ability that belonged to Uzumaki Karin and her mother.
"Hah… I've basically turned myself into a walking med-kit."
Renzo chuckled to himself, shaking his head in amusement.
But this transformation still wasn't over.
The newly evolved Source Energy was still working its way deeper, strengthening his body and mind even further.
Unlike the wild and unstable nature of traditional Sage Chakra, the traits infused into his Source Energy were calm and extremely stable. As a result, the physical and mental upgrades he was undergoing were more profound than ever before.
By his estimate, it'd take at least another six months for the full transformation to finish.
But by then? He'd probably be able to directly absorb natural energy from the atmosphere and refine it into Source Energy on the spot.
"Not bad! Heheh…"
Renzo grinned in satisfaction.
He stood up and stepped out of the secluded chamber.
Immediately, he noticed something unusual—wooden items around the room had started to regain vitality, some even showing signs of sprouting fresh buds.
He frowned slightly. "...Is my life energy leaking out? That's no good."
If it got too obvious, he wouldn't be able to appear in public at all.
Raising his right hand, five different elemental forms of Sage Chakra appeared on his fingers. He gently pressed them against his abdomen.
"Sealing Technique: Five Elements Life Lock!"
In an instant, countless sealing runes streamed from his fingertips, quickly spreading across his body.
They gathered at the center of his chest, forming a glowing pentagon-shaped seal, which then sank into his skin and disappeared from view.
At the same time, the life force that had been leaking from him vanished completely.
This custom seal—the Five Elements Life Lock—was something he developed by analyzing and improving upon the Five Elements Seal Minato had given him.
It was tailored specifically for situations like this, where life force or energy needed to be sealed away, either for concealment or protection.
But that wasn't its only function.
The true purpose of the seal was to preserve life force in emergency situations—like when someone was on the verge of death from energy leakage or depletion.
It could halt those processes long enough to buy critical time for rescue.
Take the damaged Articuno egg from earlier, for example. This seal could've kept it stable until help arrived.
Sure, healing spells were more effective overall, but there were times when they couldn't be used right away. That's where this seal really shined.
Of course, Renzo considered this seal just a little side project from his deeper research into sealing techniques.
Nothing too fancy. Not worth bragging about.
