Neither the Void nor the Sentry had ever encountered fuuinjutsu. Much less the sort developed specifically to draw out and seal power. Something that had been designed largely by the chakra-ghosts of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze and implimented by their living child.
Just the spillage from that power draw was able to activate Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan and throw it into the advanced Mangekyo mode. He'd still need to practice it to gain proficiency with it, and the force of that activation had been sufficient to knock him out.
Hinata Hyuga had held onto Naruto's hand as long as she could, but collapsed herself shortly after her Byakugan had evolved to the Tenseigan. Sasuke had been the fourth in that line, and she had been second in that attempt to absorb "spillage" from the seal, and as a result her chakra stores and pathways had been flooded.
Sakura Haruno had no bloodline that could be used to channel the force of that. She did, however, have an atgier that had been enchanted by the Norns - one of the functions of which was a vampiric one and another was that it could shift fate. Only a slight amount to be sure, but that HAD been one of the experiments involved in its creation. Had there been any Senju in her bloodline, she'd have developed Mokuton. She wasn't, so she didn't, but there WAS something the "viking halberd" could do in that regard.
Naruto's Uzumaki bloodline was enhanced to levels more typical of those around him - Asgardian gods and superheroes. His mother's chakra chain ability was activated and enhanced. Latent Uzumaki sensory enhancements were also brought forward. Within his guts the Kyubi grew more powerful, but so did the cage holding him. At one point chains erupted from Naruto Uzumaki and found other receptacles for the power spilling out.
When the power flow had at last abated, those chains retracted along with what they'd found that had survived the amount of raw power flooding through them.
So, nobody possessed the "power of a million exploding suns" at the end of it. At most it would be more the "power of a fairly decent-sized stable sun about midway through its life that just wants to continue its job in a regular fashion."
Of course, they had to get some teamwork in and use those abilities - didn't they?
"Nornblade! Set Up!"
"Yes, My Master!"
She wasn't cut out for the Mystic Arts so much.
"Sparring Mode!"
"Sparring Mode - Activated."
That didn't mean she couldn't make use of what tutors were available. Or work on her existing strengths to develop her own tools that could be of use when they found a way home.
And the Valkyri certainly had a variety of skills that they could teach her.
"Now Naruto!"
"Gotcha! Shadow Clone Jutsu! Chain Barrage!"
"You think that's enough to stop Danger Dingo?! Fools!"
"Actually, yeah. You're kinda stopped."
"Ah. Good point actually."
"Sounds like you guys had a busy week," said Pepper, sitting on the edge of her desk and regarding the four twelve-year-olds.
"Okay, we stopped Danger Dingo in... Woomera?" Naruto scratched his head as he tried to remember.
"Yeah. There was Stilt-Man in Philadelphia." Sakura was rather proud of that one. Her spear was able to cut through the stilts and armor of that guy.
Naruto made a face. "Honestly? Having seen some of the supervillains out there - Stilt-Man has to be one of the LAMEST. Danger Dingo at least had a nice costume. Shockwave Sally totalled our rent-a-car."
"Nice rescue of our driver by the way," said Pepper, nodding towards Sasuke.
Sasuke nodded for a moment before returning to his brooding.
"Let's see, we went to visit the Grand Canyon - that was where Shockwave Sally was trying to do her thing. Then there was Disaster Master in Las Vegas, Nature Freak in San Diego, and Disneyland had Living Laser."
"Good job with that one," said Pepper. "Arthur Parks is actually fairly powerful and a difficult opponent."
"It was kind of difficult fighting someone who could disperse into sparkles," said Naruto.
"Really?" asked Sakura. "I didn't notice."
"It was easy, my master," said her spear.
"Would you STOP that?" asked Sakura, rolling her eyes. "I am NOT Nanoha, you are NOT Raising Heart. They're characters on TV. You cannot 'Starlight Breaker' anyone."
"I can dream, my master."
"It's an indication of the nature of this business that I find a twelve year old ninja girl arguing with her magic spear to be a perfectly normal event," mused Pepper Potts aloud.
"Why would it be unusual?" asked Naruto.
"Exactly," said Pepper.
"Well, I-" began Sakura.
Pop!
"Okay, THAT was unusual," said Pepper Potts to the empty room.
