Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

The sky was covered by dark clouds, obscuring the moonlight and stars.

The streetlights along the street had also disappeared during the previous storm of swords.

Only a few streaks of firelight illuminated a corner of the deep darkness of Konoha.

Even with a sliver of light, the village seemed lifeless, and the intermittent cries sent chills down one's spine.

Another deafening collapse sound followed.

However, even the collapse of the Hokage's mansion failed to attract much more attention at this time.

Only from a short distance away, through the tightly closed doors of the shelter, came a few heart-wrenching sobs.

A short gust of wind dispersed the smoke and dust, revealing a sweeping, silver-white axe blade amidst the swirling dust.

Uchiha Owl strode out of the ruins with his short legs, the rubble under his feet being crushed into rough particles with a crackling sound.

A pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes gleamed crimson as they swept across a corner a hundred meters away.

There still lingered a very thin, yet chillingly nauseating aura of chakra.

However, he did not follow this aura to pursue and kill Shimura Danzo.

After all, back in the secret room, Uchiha Owl had already sensed Danzo's presence through his sensory abilities.

If you really wanted to kill him, it would only take a few minutes.

However, compared to a direct end, it would have been more satisfying to end it after driving Shimura Danzo to anger, helplessness, and even madness.

If we're talking about methods, then naturally they're aimed at Konoha.

Regardless of whether Shimura Danzo had the ability to seize the Hokage position.

Given his twisted love for Konoha, all he needs to do is let him witness Konoha gradually decline from the recognized strongest ninja village to its destruction.

This blow, this despair, this rage and helplessness are like a dull knife cutting flesh.

When Konoha was completely destroyed, and he realized that Konoha could never be revived under his own hands.

Only then will Uchiha Owl appear and bring him pain beyond just mental torment.

Given the nature of dark power, Danzo will be unable to die or live.

Even thinking about the future that has not yet happened, Uchiha Owl couldn't help but smile.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, he looked around at the dilapidated ruins and muttered to himself, "Now that I have the Book of Seals, it's time to go."

"Slowly break the seal above. If all else fails... Orochimaru should know a way."

At this point, Uchiha Owl looked troubled again and hesitated uncertainly, saying, "It's 56 years now, Orochimaru should have established the Sound Village by now."

"No, I remember now, he left Akatsuki after being defeated by Itachi Uchiha."

"In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be in the Land of Rain right now."

"We need to hurry. Even without Itachi Uchiha's provocation, Orochimaru will defect again sooner or later."

As he pondered, Uchiha Owl's brows furrowed and relaxed again, and he decided not to waste any more time here.

"Hmm, what is that?"

"Alright, take them all with you."

Just as Uchiha Owl was about to speed away, he sensed the aura of an extremely gloomy and hateful chakra aggregate.

His figure flickered through the ruins like a ghost, and in an instant, Uchiha Owl arrived at the top floor of a relatively intact apartment building.

Looking at the old wooden door in front of him, a hint of melancholy appeared in Uchiha Owl's eyes.

But this subtle feeling did not hinder his subsequent actions.

A thin layer of dazzling golden light appeared on her fingertips. She raised her hand and gently swiped it across the door lock. With a click, the lock was completely destroyed.

Without knocking, Uchiha Owl casually pushed open the door and barged into the home of Naruto Uzumaki, son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

The scene was one of utter chaos.

Unwashed plates, used paper bowls lying around, and opened milk that smelled slightly off.

And a blond caterpillar huddled in the corner of the bed.

Clearly, this was due to the Third Hokage's incompetent indulgence, or perhaps his ruthless encouragement.

No one cares about the life or death of Naruto Uzumaki, the demon fox hated by the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Look at the poor creature who has rolled himself up in a blanket.

Looking at this son of a hero who had also suffered at the hands of Konoha, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

As the caterpillar trembled in fear, Uchiha Owl stepped forward.

"Naruto Uzumaki, get up."

"Waaah! My flesh is rotten! Don't eat me!"

Uchiha Owl stared expressionlessly at the increasingly tight "ball," the Tomoe mark in his Mangekyou Sharingan shifting slightly as he focused his attention on two things at once.

As he reached for the blanket, a portion of his mind also sank into the sealed space.

tick, tick...

Amidst the heavy dripping sound, in the gloomy, damp, dim, and oppressive space, a layer of shallow water submerged the smooth rocky ground.

The thick black fog, acting as an intruder, hovered silently above the water's surface.

This form, which he had only experienced in his memories, felt extremely unfamiliar to Uchiha Owl, but fortunately, he became familiar with it very quickly.

With just a slight sway from side to side, it skillfully maneuvered the black mist forward, drifting towards the tall, black iron fence.

"Nine Lama, do you want freedom?"

In a vast space separated by a fence.

A gigantic beast with orange-red fur, so large it almost filled the cage, was cowering in a corner, striking the same timid pose as Naruto Uzumaki.

Even its nine long, thick tails extended from behind, trying their best to wrap itself up tightly.

Hesitant sobs escaped his lips; he wanted to speak but dared not.

At this moment, the black mist-like Uchiha Owl was not even as big as a fingernail of the Nine-Tails.

But its eyes were filled with terror, and it couldn't even look directly at the other animal.

In fact, if it weren't for the fear that keeping its eyes closed would be too impolite and anger the black mist, it wouldn't have dared to open its eyes at all.

After all, it's due to the Nine-Tailed Fox's special ability to sense good and evil.

The black fog before my eyes was like a convergence of all the darkness in the world.

It was as if all the darkness of the past thousand years had been gathered together and laid out before it.

They even greeted it and asked for its opinion.

It's like a mortal seeing a ghost or deity, who smiles and even gives him a flower.

Do you dare to accept the challenge?

Dare to accept?

Uchiha Owl looked at Kurama, who remained silent, but didn't pay it any mind.

Instead, it flew straight to the talisman with the word "seal" written on it that was pasted on the fence.

A figure dressed in a divine robe suddenly appeared and stood between the two.

"Who are you!"

Minato Namikaze's chakra projection stared solemnly at the black mist before his eyes.

Although he did not possess the Nine-Tails' ability to perceive good and evil, he could still feel the palpitations that the mist brought him.

"Uchiha Owl".

To the surprise of Kurama and Minato Namikaze, the black mist stopped its movements and gave an answer.

It even rapidly shrank and condensed, transforming into the image of an Uchiha child.

After all, Uchiha Owl still held some respect for Minato Namikaze.

If Minato Namikaze hadn't sacrificed himself, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be in this state today.
