Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

The two looked at each other, both somewhat at a loss.

Naruto was nervous because he had never encountered a purely benevolent approach other than Uchiha Owl.

Crimson Lotus Crimson Prison was deeply wounded by the Wood Release experiments, and having not spoken for a long time, it was somewhat silent.

Finally, Hong Yu gritted his teeth and nervously began to introduce himself.

"Young Master, I am a retainer taken in by the Lord. My name is Honglian Hongyu. If you need anything..."

"Wait, wait a minute! I'm not the young master, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, I'm the orphan that my older brother, Owl-brother, took in!"

Although he hadn't seen much of the world, Naruto immediately thought of samurai dramas on TV when he heard the word "retainers."

Having at least grasped some of the meaning of "young master," he naturally rushed to explain.

"...Alright then, from now on I'll call you Naruto's little brother, okay?"

Hong Yu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then touched his right heart expressionlessly, asking in a warm tone and with a calm demeanor.

At the same time, he also discovered that the black robe he wore seemed to be able to absorb more than just the crazy obsessions that surfaced in his mind.

Some random thoughts seem to be part of its menu as well.

Therefore, although he never forgot his and his sister's tragic past, he was able to communicate normally with others despite being forced to remain calm.

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Hongyu too!"

Naruto readily agreed, but the way he addressed the other party as "Red Prison" made him momentarily lose his composure and smile.

However, the smile was somewhat stiff and slightly menacing because the corners of his mouth hadn't been turned up for so long.

However, Naruto, who can sense good and evil, was naturally not frightened by this "warm" smile and also showed a sunny smile.

"Let's go."

Uchiha Owl sealed the golden light into an obsidian triangle, put it in his pocket, and looked at Crimson Prison with a questioning gaze: "Do you know the Body Flicker Technique?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, I have learned this after entering the Root, but I am not yet proficient in its application."

Hong Yu's fair face instantly flushed with shame, as vibrant as his hair.

In fact, Honglian Hongyu was a genius who was able to graduate two years early during this relatively peaceful period.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, this promising seedling, who was very likely to inherit the vortex bloodline, was taken into the root.

While it cannot be said that entering the root has no benefits whatsoever, these advantages are clearly negligible compared to what is lost.

What's even more unsettling is that these gifted young men were also used as experimental subjects.

Even his sister, who had never shown any interest in the world, was not spared...

Uchiha Owl naturally didn't care about these trivial matters, but it wasn't the right time to travel with such a burden.

Although time wasn't that urgent, and Orochimaru hadn't been forcibly controlled by Itachi Uchiha and had his left arm severed, he wouldn't have betrayed Akatsuki so early.

However, this does not mean that other unexpected events will not occur.

If it had been a little later, and Orochimaru had been missed, given his ability to save his life, the difficulty of finding and controlling him would have increased dramatically.

Just as Uchiha Owl was about to seal the Crimson Lotus Prison in obsidian and take it away, Naruto suddenly froze and hurriedly shouted.

"Brother, I have a way. Kurama said he can 'lend' the Tailed Beast Cloak to Brother Kurenai."

"Naruto, I mean, cough cough, I clearly meant transferring chakra to that red-haired kid, not lending it to him!"

A crimson chakra cloak appeared on Naruto's body, with a fox head growing out of it. Kurama used it to remind him of the error in the keyword.

After all, just now, he had felt the boundless darkness casting its "gaze" upon him.

It was so frightened that it couldn't even cover up its self-reference as "this old man".

Moreover, although I don't know the specific reason, I thought I could avoid it as much as possible, so I hurriedly corrected it.

But to Kurama's surprise, Uchiha Owl's curiosity was aroused, and the darkness began to tremble.

"Can you transfer chakra on your own?"

Uchiha Owl asked the question directly.

After all, in the original work, Naruto only achieved this ability after becoming a perfect Jinchuriki and activating Nine-Tails Mode.

"It wasn't possible before, but after you broke the seal, my movements are much less restricted."

Feeling the increasingly focused gaze, Kurama stiffened, not daring to hide anything.

At this moment, it truly loathed its own heightened sensitivity to good and evil.

From its unique perspective, the raging darkness that blotted out the entire sky truly terrified the fox.

Who knows when an accident might occur, causing the pure and tranquil darkness at the center to abandon all restraints and swallow the evil thoughts accumulated over thousands of years.

However, Uchiha Owl was simply curious, and Kurama's paranoia was unnecessary at this moment.

After all, if it really happens, there is no effective way to counter it.

At that point, it's uncertain whether the planet itself will even be safe.

Just like in the Ultraman world, I once did something like this in order to confront Gatanothor.

At that time, there were giants who possessed the superior talent of the Dark Child, who controlled darkness.

They almost chose to sacrifice the Earth by releasing the Shogler Ray beyond its limits, in order to perish together with each other.

Fortunately, the Dark Giant held back in the end, but only a fragment of darkness was sealed within R'lyeh.

Although the darkness contained in the two worlds is not on the same level.

The talent to control darkness is nowhere near that of a child of darkness.

"Then let's go together."

Having satisfied his curiosity somewhat, Uchiha Owl turned and set off, without any concern about whether the two could keep up.

Upon seeing this, Kurama immediately separated a ball of scarlet chakra and wrapped it around Crimson Prison.

In an instant, the two "fox demons" ran violently across the ground, leaving behind a series of explosions.

Before long, the two people wrapped in tailed beast cloaks caught up with Uchiha Owl under the control of Kurama.

"Nine-Ra, speed up!"

"Understood, I'll start speeding up right away!"

Seeing that Kurama was reliable, Uchiha Owl increased his speed several times over, his long, snow-white hair dancing even more flamboyantly.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails' chakra was transferred again, and the two's tailed beast cloaks gradually extended to the four tails.

But as the speed increased, the two, who had no time to adjust, felt dizzy and could no longer see anything clearly.

Naruto even fainted and fell asleep under these circumstances, relying entirely on Kurama to control his body to chase after Uchiha Owl's back.

Having endured the torment of the Wood Release experiments, Crimson Prison of the Crimson Lotus is highly tolerant of the current state of merely feeling dizzy, and is gradually adapting to it.

Seeing this, Uchiha Owl did not force Naruto to wake up. After all, he was only a seven-year-old child and had not experienced the unforgettable loss in the original story.

As for himself, he has already lost too much in both his past and present lives...
