Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

Lieque let out an excited cry, and with a flap of its enormous wings, a gale suddenly arose, dust filled the air, and stones flew everywhere.

The colossal black beast soared into the sky and disappeared into the deep starry firmament.

Crimson and white lightning, like intertwined vines, continuously spilled out from between the dark feathers, adorning the night sky with a rising star of lightning.

"Wow, so fast! So high!"

Several crimson hands emerged from Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak, firmly fixing him to a piece of jet-black feather.

Naruto's heart was pounding, but he forced himself to stay alert and looked down with curiosity.

The huge blank space that had been swept away by the lightning spear had now shrunk to an inconspicuous little dot.

In the blink of an eye, even that tiny dot was no longer visible.

Even the towering trees that filled the forest looked as tiny as toothpicks, densely packed together like a giant lawn.

"Lord Owl, the destination... is it... is it... Amegakure?"

Hinata awkwardly manipulated the "borrowed" tailed beast cloak on her body, causing it to sprout abstract, large hands like Naruto's, which gripped the hard feather branches as she laboriously climbed toward Uchiha Owl.

After a great deal of effort, Hinata finally arrived at the top of Lie Que's head, panting heavily.

But then I saw him sitting calmly behind a thin layer of darkness, peacefully flipping through the scroll in his hand. I couldn't help but pout, a sense of annoyance rising in my heart.

Just then, a similarly thin barrier of darkness unfolded in front of Hinata, shielding her from the raging storm.

"Is there something you need, Hinata-san?"

Hinata, who had already closed her eyes and prepared to brave the fierce wind, suddenly sensed a whooshing sound as she dodged.

But before her joy could fully take hold, a polite address interrupted her shyness.

"Lord Owl, could you... could you call me by my name like you would Naruto?"

Hinata stood up and tested the barrier a few times. After discovering that the dark barrier could move with her, she quickly ran to Uchiha Owl's side.

She spoke hesitantly, a far cry from her previous bossy demeanor, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Hinata.

Uchiha Owl looked up at Hinata and saw that although she was extremely shy, her gaze remained stubbornly fixed on her. Finally, he changed his mind.

"Owl!"

"May I sit next to you?"

Hinata's already blushing cheeks turned completely red, and wisps of steam-like heat drifted slowly past the protective barrier before being instantly dispersed by the storm.

"Please go ahead."

The exquisitely beautiful girl leaned gently against the boy, both reserved and unable to hide her joy.

At this moment, behind the two, the Crimson Prison, which was wrapped in the Tailed Beast Cloak and struggling to climb forward, immediately blocked Naruto and Sasuke's path.

They forcefully stopped the two of them.

Blocked by the thick, spreading vines, Naruto was about to speak in confusion when he saw Kurenai's hand gesture pointing forward.

Following the finger's pointing finger, Naruto's azure eyes widened instantly. He immediately understood the reason and hurriedly joined forces with Kurenai to block Sasuke, who was crawling with his head down.

Sasuke, unaware of the reason, was so angry at the two people blocking his way that he even glared with his two-tomoe Sharingan eyes.

"What, wanna fight?!"

Hearing this thoughtless remark, Naruto squinted and pointed downwards at the thick, dark feathers.

Sasuke wasn't stupid; he instantly remembered that he was still high in the sky, and a surge of shame and anger rushed to his head, making his Sharingan even more crimson.

Naruto, seeing the unreasonable Sasuke, simply stepped aside and pointed to where the big sister was.

Sasuke glanced to the side, his flushed face instantly returning to its pale color. He simply rolled over and lay down on the black feathers, not wanting to move an inch more.

With the wind howling, Hinata couldn't hear the sounds of her friends playing around behind her.

She is currently completely captivated by Uchiha Akira's handsome appearance.

Completely different from his thin and sickly appearance in previous years.

If you weren't familiar with him, who would have thought that the sickly-looking man would become so handsome after recovering?

"Is it pretty?"

Even someone as aloof as Uchiha Owl would feel a little uncomfortable being stared at so directly, so he suddenly spoke out of the blue.

"Yes, no, that's not right, yes, it looks good!"

Hinata instinctively wanted to respond, but then felt a little shy and hurriedly denied it. However, she realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence and shyly gave the most honest answer.

"How daring!"

Uchiha Owl shifted his gaze from the Book of Seals and looked at Hinata with slight surprise.

"Hmm, that's quite bold."

Hinata, feeling so embarrassed that her head was spinning, vaguely repeated what she had said, but in reality, she had already forgotten what she had said.

"I will revive Sister Quan."

Uchiha Owl suddenly spoke, but this frank rejection did not make Hinata back down. Instead, she stared into his eyes and spoke seriously.

"I'll help too... and, Quan-nee, she said it was okay!"

Now it was Uchiha Osamu's turn to be surprised, as he had never heard his childhood friend Izumi mention this.

However, no noteworthy darkness was detected in Hinata.

Let's assume it's true then.

"Hinata, should we learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Looking at this girl, who could barely be considered his childhood friend, Uchiha Owl suddenly felt a pang of worry for her safety.

"Sigh...me? Me?"

"Since it's Xiao's idea, fine. But, can I do it?"

Even though Hinata's personality became increasingly self-reliant under the influence of Uchiha Owl, she still never considered learning any ninjutsu other than Gentle Fist.

The sudden suggestion left her feeling somewhat bewildered.

And can we really just teach her the famous Flying Thunder God Technique like that? Will she even be able to learn it?

"Don't worry, it might not have been possible before today, but it is now."

Uchiha Owl's lips curled slightly, a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face.

As he finished speaking, he raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand and pressed the darkness emanating from his fingertips onto Hinata's brow, which she did not flinch at all.

A vast amount of knowledge flooded into her mind.

"Now, your escape skills are maxed out."

Even with the protection of the quiet darkness, the sheer number of profound sealing techniques and complex Flying Thunder God Techniques still left Hinata feeling dizzy and disoriented.

This little skill about darkness didn't come from Ultraman, but was something I figured out myself when I created Lieque; it's both convenient and quick.

Moreover, there are not many restrictions on its use; the most crucial requirement is that the knowledge being transmitted must be learned by the person in question.

You could also say that you will only get what I know.

Clearly, passing on the technique to Hinata indicates that Uchiha Owl has now mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Whether it was the necessary knowledge of sealing techniques or the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was all easily devoured and completely digested by Uchiha Owl's exceptional talent.

As for where this abnormal talent comes from?

Clearly, this wasn't an innate ability of Uchiha Owl; otherwise, he wouldn't have had to wait until the night of the massacre to barely put up a fight.

This talent is similar to controlling the source of darkness.

However, the ability to control darkness is a downgraded form of Ultraman's innate talent: Child of Darkness.

The monstrous talent is a downgrade of the pirate's talent, Infinite Aptitude.

"What special ability can I share with them? The Sharingan?"

"It shouldn't be."

"So, isn't my... ability to absorb metal and regenerate itself a bit too weak?"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Owl's face darkened. He could already imagine how foul-mouthed the pirates would be!

With a deep sigh, I closed my eyes, feeling melancholy and helpless, casting aside my worries and daydreams.
