(6 months later)
Shoyu sat cross-legged on the soft, plush mat of the cozy living room, surrounded by vibrant decorations that brought the space to life. Gentle sunlight streamed in through the lace curtains, casting playful patterns on the wooden floor and creating a warm atmosphere filled with the sweet scent of home-cooked meals. As he munched on the golden-brown, crispy crackers that Kushina, his radiant mother, was lovingly offering him, he felt a sense of comfort that was often hard to come by in his new reality.
A full year had passed since he had unwittingly been thrown into this unfamiliar world, where the weight of destiny loomed heavily above him. With a furrowed brow, Shoyu's thoughts raced as he considered the impending chaos of the Nine-Tails attack—an event hurtling toward them with frightening inevitability. He felt a pang of anxiety knowing that in just three short months, Kushina would be pregnant with Naruto, initiating a chain of events that would shake their lives forever.
"You really like crackers, don't you, Shoyu?" Kushina chuckled, her voice warm and sweet like syrup drizzling over pancakes, as she playfully fed him another piece. Her laughter was like music, bright and cheerful, filling the room with warmth.
"Yes!" Shoyu squeaked, his chubby cheeks bulging like a squirrel's as he stuffed another cracker into his mouth. He feigned a look of childish innocence, playfully twisting his words, fully aware that it was one of the ways he charmed his mother.
"Mama, can you show me more seals?" he chirped eagerly, his voice bubbling with excitement. His eyes sparkled like gems, dancing with the thrill of learning as he bounced slightly on the mat, a torrent of energy contained within his small frame.
Kushina's heart swelled with adoration at Shoyu's infectious enthusiasm. "Aww, you really are interested in that stuff, aren't you? Fine, I'll show you one! It's called the Enclosing Technique. Can you say 'Enclosing Technique'?" She pinched his cheeks affectionately, her fingers soft and warm against his skin, unable to resist indulging his whim.
"Enclosing technick?" Shoyu repeated, stumbling over the words, a concentrated frown creasing his forehead as he attempted to mimic his mother's pronunciation.
"No, it's pronounced 'Enclosing Technique,'" she gently corrected him, a playful glimmer in her eyes reflecting her delight in his earnestness.
"Enclosing Technique?" he asked with determination, his youthful features set in a serious expression as if he were training under a wise old master.
"That's right, Shoyu! The Enclosing Technique is used to store items or living things. But remember, you'll need a lot of chakra for larger items, and if your target is struggling, it won't work at all." Kushina's voice softened as she leaned closer, her hand glowing with brilliant, iridescent chakra, the light shimmering like the surface of a tranquil lake as she prepared to demonstrate. Her movements were deliberate and graceful as she traced the intricate seal in the air, each line drawn with careful, practiced confidence.
With a fluid flick of her wrist, she encapsulated Shoyu's plate, the glowing energy wrapping around it before it vanished completely, stored safely within the seal. "And that's how it's done," she proclaimed, a hint of pride creeping into her voice, her chest puffed out slightly as she reveled in the small victory of teaching her son.
"Wow! Mama, you're amazing! I wish I was as good as you!" Shoyu exclaimed, his eyes wide with admiration, sparkling with awe as though he were gazing at a legendary hero. Inside, though, he was diligently committing every detail of the technique to memory, knowing that this newfound skill would become invaluable in the uncertain times that lay ahead. Just then, a familiar sound echoed in his mind, a series of notifications that filled him with determination.

'My stats are coming along nicely; they had already increased due to my growth over these past six months,' Shoyu thought as he closed his eyes to look at the status panel in his mind in the year he's been in this world so far he's learned some of the strengths and drawbacks of his system.
'My stats go up as I use them and every time I level up my stats increase by two they also go up as I grow, and when I sleep they grow more than double the speed.' he thought before inwardly sighing.
'I can't use my ability 'Seal Master's Vision' yet. I have the system's skill analysis, but it only provides surface-level information. If I want to know the true essence of a seal I need to work on my chakra reserves. Being an Uzumaki this shouldn't be a problem in the future. But for now... Maybe I should train the Adamantine sealing chains with Kushina so I can raise my chakra and fūinjutsu at the same time. I don't have much time before the Nine Tails attack.'
