Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

"Lie Que, be careful, you're veering off course."

Uchiha Owl didn't even look up, still focused on flipping through the Book of Sealing, while sharing the location he sensed with the giant beast beneath him.

goo~

Lie Que let out a low groan of dissatisfaction and had no choice but to change direction and fly away following the damp, cold, and dark aura.

Already bored from flying too slowly, Lie Que was now even denied the right to look for scenery, which made him increasingly annoyed.

"Be patient, you'll have your turn to play later."

Uchiha Owl sighed helplessly, feeling the continuous stream of displeasure emanating from beneath him, and raised his hand to tap Lie Que on the top of his head.

He was so annoyed that he even considered blocking out the feedback from his sense of darkness.

Coo~coo?

"Sure, sure, I'll give you one to play with later."

The resentment beneath him vanished instantly, clearing Uchiha Owl's mind. His brows relaxed, and he made a promise to Lie Que.

uh~

Overjoyed, Lie Que became somewhat carried away, and the surging anticipation in his heart caused the power of darkness to surge forth instantly, increasing its speed at an extreme pace.

"..."

Uchiha Owl gave a helpless pursed-lip gesture, but didn't say anything to stop him.

After all, the destination wasn't far away; it was only a few minutes' flight from that damp, dark place.

Moreover, for a dark monster, a speed that hasn't even broken the sound barrier is far too sluggish.

Seven or eight minutes later, after several hours of wind, a gloomy and oppressive cloud came into view.

"So this is the Land of Rain!"

Uchiha Owl stared at the endless rain clouds before him, his eyes widening slightly to reveal his completely black pupils.

I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

In this lifetime, he has been confined to the small area of ​​Konoha, suffering from sorrow all day long. When has he ever seen such a breathtaking and magnificent sight?

Even though the scene was neither sunny nor bright, it still made him feel more relaxed.

"Stop watching, Lie Que, let's fly there at full speed!"

Boo!

Uchiha Owl let out a wild laugh, his small body surging with unrestrained arrogance.

He stood up from above Lie Que's head, the black mist in front of him dissipated slightly, and a gentle breeze came, blowing his wild, long hair, which was mixed with a strand of snow-white hair, and making it dance wildly.

At the same time, the dark mist around him surged and rolled backward, pulling Kurenai, Naruto, and Sasuke Uchiha to his side.

Before Hinata and the other two, still half-asleep, could recover from their sudden awakening, a deafening roar erupted all around them.

The last vestiges of sleepiness vanished instantly in the terrifying sonic boom.

The round, thick white sonic boom cloud in front of the Lieque bird's beak was instantly broken through and left behind, leaving only a very faint, thin cone-shaped air streak, like a streak of light cutting through the sky.

"You're all awake just in time. Come on, let's assign combat tasks."

The four, gradually regaining their senses, all looked bewildered upon hearing Uchiha Owl's words.

Did they... really just wake up at that moment?

Uchiha Owl first stepped in front of Red Prison, condensed a ball of black mist at his fingertips, and raised his hand to strike Red Prison's right heart.

"Ugh!"

Hong Yu let out a cry of pain, feeling as if a thousand needles were piercing his right heart. But what followed was a sense of the heart's presence that he had never clearly experienced before.

It was as if his younger sister was standing behind him, gently stroking his heart.

"My sister is still alive..."

Red Prison covered his eyes, which were suddenly filled with tears, and knelt on the dark feathers.

Beneath the dark robes lay a warm embrace, which stirred a sudden feeling of redemption within him.

"Red Prison, you can pick any opponent you like in a bit."

Before Red Prison could reply, Uchiha Owl looked at the other three people.

"Kurama, take Hinata and the other two and clear out the remaining enemies."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The fox head that appeared on Naruto's shoulder confidently made its promise.

Hinata, be careful.

"I'll be careful!"

Seeing Hinata's obedient response, indicating she hadn't been blinded by the Flying Thunder God Technique, Uchiha Owl nodded in satisfaction.

"Sasuke... take your time to adjust."

When he looked at Uchiha Sasuke, he hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and conjured a dark aura to wipe across Sasuke's eyes.

As Sasuke Uchiha watched the incoming fingers, he instinctively turned his head to dodge, but he couldn't get past them. He only felt a sudden coolness and comfort in his eyes.

"My eye power... this is the Sharingan with three tomoe!"

"It's fake, it's just a temporary boost." Before he could burst into laughter, Uchiha Owl shattered his illusion.

Sensing the silent feedback emanating from the darkness that merged into Sasuke's eyes, Uchiha Owl seemed to understand something, then raised his hand and placed it on Naruto's shoulder: "Naruto, I'm taking you to see someone!"

Unaware of what was happening, Naruto sat cross-legged on the black feather, following the pressure on his shoulders, and his mind fell into silence.

When he opened his eyes again, the scenery before him had changed to something unfamiliar.

Lush green grass carpets the ground, the warm sun shines brightly overhead, and a gentle breeze brushes against your cheeks, bringing a slight tickle.

He stood on the edge of the island, gazing at the azure sea and sky just inches away, lost in a daze.

"Yo~ kid, you've finally come in."

Before I could recover from the change in the scene before me, a deep voice rang out from behind me.

"Nine Lama?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Naruto, who had been feeling uneasy, immediately relaxed. He looked up in the direction of the voice with delight, and his eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "It's huge!"

Even when Kurama was half-crouching, it was still seventy meters tall. Naruto standing in front of it was not even as big as one of its eyes.

In response to Naruto's amazement, Kurama tilted his head in a gesture of respect, a strong sense of mockery appearing in his eyes.

Following Kurama's gesture, Naruto looked down in confusion and saw a stranger.

Although he was a stranger, Naruto felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Naruto..."

"Who are you?"

.........

"What a coincidence, you're all here at the same time."

Uchiha Owl suddenly turned his head and looked at the gloomy black clouds in the distance. He sensed a deep darkness in them.

That thick malice was filled with hatred and pain towards the world.

This made Uchiha Owl reveal a gleeful, sinister smile.

"Lie Que, say hello."

Boo!

Upon hearing this, Lie Que's long-suppressed restlessness finally erupted, and he let out an excited hiss.

It will guide all the darkness that propels it forward into its mouth.

As the speed suddenly decreased, the deep darkness and the crimson and white lightning intertwined wildly, converging into a purplish-black lightning bead.

This enormous thunder pearl, simply by existing, silenced the heavens and earth.

The lightning flowing on the surface also carried a thunderous roar powerful enough to shatter the bluestone.

Even the faint buzzing sound emanating from excessive energy concentration can make one dizzy and sluggish.

Faced with this terrifying divine punishment, the giant flying ninja beast in the distance showed no sign of being frightened. Instead, it flapped its wings and accelerated, charging straight towards them.

"Pretty brave!"

Watching this desperate charge, Uchiha Owl smiled unhappily, whether mocking the summoned beast's "fearlessness" or the cold-bloodedness of its controller was unclear.
