Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

We plummeted rapidly down the dark, lightless passage, the wind rushing past our ears sounding like the howling of a banshee.

Uchiha Owl was not distracted; he simply raised his hand and pressed it against the pit wall beside him.

With the addition of chakra, the momentum of the fall was quickly slowed down by the arm pulling it.

As the last bit of dirt and stone brushed past his palm, Uchiha Owl landed on the ground silently.

After glancing at the filth beneath his feet and around him, which had been crushed into bloody mud by the fragments of Susanoo that had previously vanished, he turned his gaze to his surroundings.

One by one, impressive-looking and high-end equipment came into view.

The most eye-catching feature among them are the enormous culture tanks.

In the tank, soaked in green culture medium, were innocent children.

Unfortunately, in Uchiha Owl's perception, they were nothing more than "living" physical bodies.

"It seems Danzo is still dreaming."

The culture tanks and experimental subjects, which should have been completely destroyed and never added again after Orochimaru's defection, were now openly displayed in Root's base.

Clearly, even though Danzo maintained a secret relationship with Orochimaru and did not terminate their cooperation, he was still continuing his self-developed Wood Release experiments.

"What a laughable Will of Fire!"

Having severed ties with Konoha, Uchiha Owl snorted coldly and followed the guidance of the lines to find the main unit of the device.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the vast darkness transformed into a deep black mist, which was released endlessly.

Just then, Uchiha Owl suddenly stopped moving.

Perhaps it was because of the deaths of the perpetrators around him, or perhaps it was because he was stimulated by the darkness that was released.

A faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation of the soul rippled through his senses just before he was about to completely collapse.

The black mist continued to be released, filling the laboratory completely.

Uchiha Owl arrived in front of a culture tank and carefully examined it, ignoring the obstruction of the black mist.

The experimental subject in the glass jar in front of us is the most severely denatured of all the experimental subjects.

Even those experimental subjects that were heavily dendritic still retained some human-like features.

It could be a wooden arm or leg that has retained its shape, or a painful face, or a ferocious posture.

There were also experimental subjects whose physical condition was still good, with saplings only growing in their chest, pupils, and mouth.

But in the cultivation tank in front of us, there is only a tree that, apart from its color, is completely ordinary like any other tree in the outside world.

The rough, blood-red bark, the growing blood-red leaves, and the blood-red sap that seemed to be overflowing as it approached a critical point.

"That's enough... a deep, unforgettable hatred!"

He possesses the ability to control darkness, inherited from the dark giant AoO in the world of Ultraman Tiga.

Uchiha Owl could sense an aura of resentment and pain that was several times, even dozens of times, greater than that of an ordinary person.

"I will give you a chance to live, a chance to take revenge. In return, your entire future will belong to me!"

The fact that Uchiha Owl could generate such a massive amount of negative energy while on the verge of death at least confirms that his aptitude was extremely high.

Since the tree-like experimental subject was unable to speak, Uchiha Owl naturally did not wait for an answer.

He reached out and shook hands with the blood-red tree through the sturdy, thick glass.

The black mist surrounding the huge culture tank instantly materialized, easily crushing the glass into fragments, shards, and dust.

The lush green culture medium mixed with scarlet blood streaks left a mess on the laboratory floor.

Meanwhile, the blood tree, confined in a small vessel, rapidly stretched out its "limbs".

However, before the blood tree could grow unchecked, a more tranquil black mist seeped into its trunk.

If Shimura Danzo had witnessed what happened next, he might have dared to fight Uchiha Owl to the death to preserve this precious experimental result.

The blood-red tree was shrinking continuously.

The leaves melt and return to their veins, the branches condense and shrink back into the trunk, the branches converge to reveal an abstract human shape.

It stretched out for only a moment, and the branches and canopy were already as large as a tree with a diameter of three meters. Before long, it returned to human form.

Apart from a strand of deep red, blood-red hair and ruby-like eyes.

The boy kneeling on the ground, constantly crying and gagging, looked no different from an ordinary human being.

"It seems you were forced to 'eat' someone, a family member..."

Uchiha Owl's dark power sensed the unusual fluctuations in the soul of the person before him. His tone was cold and icy, yet contained a hint of gentleness.

Upon hearing this, the boy felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. He gagged, and tears of blood welled up in his eyes, which were almost bursting with rage.

"But I can feel that her heart is still inside you, coexisting with you as one."

Uchiha Owl raised his hand and placed it on the boy's right side of the back of his heart.

"I ate her, she's still alive, Akakyu is still alive!"

The boy, who had been speaking haltingly, suddenly looked up after feeling a second strong heartbeat, his scarlet eyes revealing a mixture of pain and excitement.

"She exists alongside you."

Uchiha Owl nodded, and at the same time withdrew his hand, which was emanating black mist.

Only a few wisps of black mist, born from a mad obsession, remained, weaving a hooded cloak large enough to completely conceal the naked boy's body.

Of course, there is no vacuum under the cloak.

The last remaining black mist barely formed an inner garment that, apart from being able to absorb darkness to regenerate itself, had no other special features.

As for what's so special about that hooded cloak?

Uchiha Owl told him the answer himself.

"This cloak can absorb the madness and obsession in your heart, allowing you to remain calm."

"Furthermore, the cloak will increase with the amount of insane obsessions you absorb, giving you a stronger boost to your Wood Release ninjutsu."

"At the same time, it will also nourish your sister's soul, preventing her from dissipating."

Looking at the boy in front of him who had awakened Wood Release, Uchiha Owl felt a little regretful.

After all, this was based on a careful investigation combining the power of darkness with one's own perception.

He was certain that, compared to the boy, the girl who had given her life to her brother was actually more talented.

In fact, if the girl hadn't given up on life, Danzo might have gained a Wood Release ninja.

Rather than being the experimental subject with the most severe backlash, yet the one most capable of surviving.

"You saved Akakyu, you saved me. I have nothing to repay you with, so I acknowledge you as my master. My chakra, my life, even my flesh and blood and everything else, will be offered to you, my master!"

"Unwavering until death, unchanging until death. If I disobey, may the Blood Tree devour my blood, my flesh and soul, until I wither and die!"

Honglian Hongyu, kneeling on the ground, slammed her head against the ground, sincerely offering her loyalty.

"Hmm, that's fine. As my retainer, you may call me Lord from now on."

Uchiha Owl nodded slightly in surprise, then casually flicked out a wisp of black mist that flew towards the Crimson Lotus Prison.

"I will obey Your Majesty's command!"

At that moment, Honglian Hongyu raised her head, her forehead meeting the black mist.

Silently, a blood-red vertical mark appeared between his brows, binding the oath firmly to the body of Red Lotus Red Prison.

Get up.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Only when standing up can one see clearly that Crimson Lotus Crimson Prison is a head and a half taller than eight-year-old Uchiha Owl, about thirty centimeters.
