No wonder it was changing the size of the dice instead of compressing it, turns out the old guy dabled in other stuff as well. Doesn't this mean he could create his own little capsule corps like house?
This thought made him want to try it out right away, but then he remembered the small reserves that he had of nature energy currently so he chose to wait till it was substantially higher to try something like that.
-One Week Later
Having finished his day's training with his dad and bid farewell to him since he was going on a mission for a few months. Now he was sitting in the backyard under a tree with the dice in hand. "Status" he called out in his small voice.

Although it hurt him that his chakra hadn't reached above 500 as he predicted, it was most likely related to his young and weak body, even with the sage modification running in the background, he strength was at most the same as a 3 or 4 year old Uchiha.
'Set this aside for now', he thought as he once again focused on the dice in his hand.'Today was the day he'll make a travelling tent CapsuleCorp™ style'. The dice had already stored a maximum of ten times the nature energy. He just focused on sending some of his nature energy past the barrier of the dice and focused on capturing the stored nature energy with his own. This made a noticeable increase of 3 on his nature energy count on his status, which made sense since it was ten times the amount that should normally be there and it couldn't go outside the barrier making it similar to shooting fish in a barrel.
First he made the dice as soft dirt to make changes easier then with having more nature energy inside the dice he focused on converting all the nature energy in it into dirt and started expanding the amount dirt from 5cm cube to more, while retaining its 0.5 cm outer size along with boosting the barriers for that size.
This process used the concentration of both him and his server clone each focusing on separate tasks. The inside of the dice was made hollow after it had a thick inner lining of half a meter from all sides and then more nature energy was added untill it became a small room with a space of 2 meter cubed.
The amount of nature energy used in the process was about 7 units which brought his own storage down to 47. Noticing how only a few minutes had passed he once again began expanding on the room till it reached 4 meter cubed excluding the walls, the this time the barriers took noticeably more amounts of nature energy leaving him with a solid 25 units on his status.
He didn't bother with the low nature reserves as they could allow him to conceal himself for a whole day which in these early stages of Naruto was more than enough. This concealment was similar to the Gecko clans transparent release except more potent as byakugan or the other gans couldn't detect it.
He made a similar barrier on his chakra circuits to make them appear the same small amount as before sage modification. Although he could sense the inside of the dice and make out its dimensions, he still wanted to explore it from inside it. Since he can already conceal his chakra amount, making it appear blocked or not unlocked was more easier, all that was needed was a little adjustment to the concealment barrier.
Now it seems he can unlock his chakra circuits and finally use techniques related to chakra and with his all elements advantage it would be even easier. First he needed more capacity then his one year old self had, which meant he had to make another mental clone again. He did just that after moving all his stored nature energy to his head.
The process took a few minutes after he had yet another mental clone. While focusing on the mental clone, he also sent nature energy throughout his brain as it began to change once more to accommodate the expanded mental capacity. This time the upgrade only took 5 minutes and it didn't cause a headache at all. All it took was 5 units to upgrade the brain for another mental clone. Now he had 20 units left.
He was tempted to make another 2 mental clones and he did just that taking his unit down another 11 leaving him with 9 units left. 'It seems further upgrades might be more demanding', he thought while looking at the three new clones from each of there eyes, for fun he had them appear as Spiderman and had them point at each other.
This small bit had him reeling in laughter for a few minutes, and he only stopped after receiving a stern look from his mother who was putting the clothes to dry in the backyard. He focused back on his mental space and had them revert to normal after which two of them were transformed in servers similar to the first server clone, now he could filter information three times as fast.
With the addition of the three clones, he got 30 more years worth of information that he could get. First he asked kept ten years as reserve, just incase he needed urgent information or if he wanted miscellaneous bits of information. He first got the shadow clone technique's info from a list of people most proficient in it, basically from the second hokage.
This also included his thoughts on the process of making the technique as well as directions for future improvements. This cost him about 2 years, which was the amount total time the second hokage focused on the technique. Next he asked for 2 years of the second hokage's experience in extracting chakra with which he easily unlocked his chakra pathways.
Now he had all he had to do was make a shadow clone, put some concealments on it to make it impossible for anyone to tell the difference. Now all he had to do was wait for his mother to go back inside.
