It was a topic that nearly drove the best of the Uzumaki insane. It took promising seal masters and broke them irrevocably. It didn't take to long for space/time seals to become Forbidden to be spoken of in their halls.

When Minato Namikaze proved successfully able to navigate that treacherous domain, his long term girlfriend to that point jumped his bones before berating him for doing something so stupid. He ad promised to limit his dabbling, and not dive fully into the sea. He felt he could safely navigate some pathways but was able to quickly grasp what concepts he should not tread down.

Decades later in the aftermath of Kaguya's war, Naruto Uzumaki, perhaps one of the few able to pull the deepest truths from the abyss had no one to warn him of the danger, or the ability to see he was in danger in the first place.

Years of abusing shadow clones had gifted him with a near unlimited neural elasticity.

And so without knowing the dangers he was about to tread a thousands clones stared into the abyss. Each one becoming enraptured in a small segment unable to comprehend the whole, the furthermost implications of that knowledge.

Being made of nothing but shadows as their minds broke, so did their bodies.

The recovered truths and madness transferring to their creator. But as more truth and madness gathered in one place his mind adapted, truth dissolving madness.

Instinctively more clones were created as it became evident there was still more madness than truth.

And they too would stare into the abyss, traveling the paths of ink, blood, space, and time.

Slowly his chakra levels would decline, hundreds of clones puffing into existence, moments before being destroyed under their own weight. Destroyed under their own knowledge. Eventually after many hours he was on the last whsps, pushed beyond what would be possible for a simple human. For a moment Naruto had no chakra, thoughts, no hearbeat, no soul, no life, no existence, no knowledge, no Kyuubi. paradoxically he also had all of them. An infinity of them.

But as moments want to do, this one also passed into past.

The next moment Naruto's hearts beat in synchronicity.

A moment later he screamed, the Kyuubi screamed, they all screamed, but not for ice cream.
