Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

"Hyuga-san, use your Byakugan to check if the sealing technique on the scroll has any self-destruct function."

As he sped forward, Uchiha Owl crushed a diamond-shaped obsidian, instantly revealing the enormous Book of Sealing.

After placing the scroll in Hinata Hyuga's hands, who was wrapped around his waist and was so shy that steam was coming out of her hair.

He began to carefully recall the past with some doubt.

Thanks to his powerful memory brought about by his immense spiritual strength, he quickly recalled the connection he had formed with Hinata.

"Yes, yes, Lord Xiao!"

"I'll look right now!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Owl's words, which seemed like a request but were actually an order, Hinata, who had been in a daze, instantly snapped back to her senses and agreed without thinking.

"Byakugan, activate!"

As chakra surged in, Hinata's eyes bulged with slightly menacing blue veins.

This peculiar appearance caused Naruto, who had been observing Hinata to notice something special, to let out a surprised cry.

Hinata, who was carefully examining the distribution of chakra nodes on the Book of Seals, couldn't help but be slightly distracted by the strange sound.

It reminded her of when she was a child and was bullied by her peers in the village; it seemed that they made the same kind of noise at first.

However, under Xiao Jun's guidance, no one dares to call her the White-Eyed Monster anymore.

Thinking of this, Hinata subconsciously clenched her fist, and she could almost hear the cries of pain from those naughty kids.

"Hinata-san, is this alright?"

"It'll be ready soon!" Hinata was startled by Uchiha Owl's reminder and quickly gathered her thoughts to stop wandering.

This frail appearance left Naruto somewhat bewildered, and a strange sense of dread washed over him.

After all, even though they didn't pay much attention at the Ninja Academy, they knew that Hinata Hyuga, as the eldest sister of the first year, had never shown any weakness; her reputation was earned through hard work, punch by punch.

"Lord Xiao, there are three self-destructing sealing nodes above!"

Using the knowledge she had learned in the clan, Hinata confirmed her answer several times before finally giving it with confidence.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Hinata."

Uchiha Owl took the Book of Seals and released three thin black threads woven from black mist, which slowly pierced into the three sealing nodes, rapidly eroding them.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!"

"Um, um, Lord Owl, can you call me Hinata?"

"As you wish, Hinata-san."

Hinata felt a slight disappointment upon hearing the title "Miss" at the end, but mostly felt a shy joy.

Uchiha Owl, however, was highly focused and did not notice her disappointment.

With focused control over the black mist's full-force erosion, the entire sealing technique protecting the Book of Seals was quickly wiped out.

Given that the situation was not suitable for examining it at the moment, I had no choice but to seal it again into a diamond-shaped obsidian and put it in my pocket.

"Ugh~ That arrogant guy up ahead, what's wrong with him?"

Naruto Uzumaki, who was running on all fours like a fox demon, suddenly saw his classmate kneeling helplessly and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Take him with you, and I'll leave after I finish this last thing."

He had already sensed that Uchiha Owl, where Sasuke was, had appeared behind him almost silently.

There was no persuasion, no guidance, and no regard for his thoughts.

Uchiha Owl raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, the black mist enveloping and sealing it into an obsidian jewel, which he then tucked into his pocket.

"Why!!"

Naruto let out an incredulous scream.

Although I had already witnessed Uchiha Owl's special sealing technique.

But unlike the previous sealing of that huge weapon that looked like a gun and an axe, this is a living person!

"Stop howling and stay close to me."

Uchiha Owl raised his hand and tapped Naruto on the head.

Ignoring Naruto's tearful eyes, he turned his thoughtful gaze to Hinata.

"My Lord, I... I can lie on your back..."

Hinata suppressed her embarrassment, but before she could finish her sentence, she felt dizzy and fainted.

Uchiha Owl, who had already remembered the reason, was speechless. The children in this world were all too precocious in their psychology.

But it's not entirely incomprehensible.

When a timid child is surrounded by bullies and subjected to vicious ridicule.

The stranger stepped forward without hesitation and resolved the matter with absolute violence.

No matter how you look at it, it's the same old trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.

But in reality, it was just that she had gone out to relax not long after her parents left, and before she had completely withdrawn, with the encouragement of her sister Quan.

Seeing her pitiful state by chance reminded me of my life in an orphanage in my previous life, and I couldn't help but feel a rare moment of kindness.

However, after "persuading" the three unruly children with the truth, she couldn't stand their cowardly appearance.

He then dissected the root causes and consequences of his cowardice, just as he had corrected the thoughts of his companions in the orphanage in his previous life.

He gave a self-serving lecture.

Besides, it's been almost two years since that meeting, so why do I feel even more vulnerable now?

Uchiha Owl let out a long sigh, like a lament, and then ruthlessly sealed Hinata away with black mist.

After calming himself down, Uchiha Owl finally arrived near his target.

"Nine-Ra, what is my brother doing?"

Naruto followed Uchiha Owl to a dense forest.

Then he closed his eyes and stood there, looking around boredly. After finding nothing unusual, he couldn't help but ask the Nine-Tailed Fox in his mind.

The Nine-Tails remained silent, but used its tailed beast cloak to press Naruto's head down, making him look at the ground.

Thanks to Kurama's complete opening of itself, Naruto, as a Jinchūriki, naturally sensed the evil thoughts buried deep underground.

Although he was not yet proficient in this ability, it would definitely leave a deep impression on Naruto and be remembered forever.

That filthy, nauseating evil, even as an incomplete remnant, nearly made Naruto kneel on the ground.

Not daring to look at the ground any longer, and after feeling that the Tailed Beast Cloak was no longer exerting force on his head, he hurriedly looked up at Uchiha Owl.

In an instant, Naruto Uzumaki saw an immense darkness.

However, compared to the evil beneath his feet, the darkness emanating from Uchiha Owl, or rather, the darkness that embodied Uchiha Owl, appeared sacred.

This darkness is extremely pure; it is simply pitch black, tranquil, and silent, like a night sky without a moon or stars, vast and boundless, high above.

But this was just a perception that Naruto was not yet familiar with.

In the Nine-Tails' perception, this pure darkness was merely the core within.

Beyond this core lies all the malice accumulated by the entire ninja world over the past thousand years.

However, once its own survival was secured, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) dared to scrutinize the darkness of Uchiha Owl.

Only then did he realize that the chaotic malice had been extracted and purified by an unknown force before returning to and integrating into the core of this matter.

"Found it, Susanoo!"

A small, amethyst arm, only about 50 meters long and covered in armor, suddenly appeared behind Uchiha Owl.

With his arm outstretched and fingers joined, he shoved the arm into the ground in front of Uchiha Owl.

With the ground shaking and rumbling, Susanoo's arm achieved its goal and dissipated, leaving behind a vertical passage leading directly to the underground base.

"Naruto, you stay here and wait for me."

Seeing Naruto kneeling on the ground, retching incessantly, Uchiha Owl nodded understandingly, then leaped down.
