Several hours later.
Hyuga Sho returned to the training room and began a new round of cultivation.
He took out the branch that had been burning yesterday through the Dark Release: Space-Time Hole in the center of his left palm.
The branch was still burning with flames.
Even though twenty-four hours had already passed.
The branch was exactly the same as before.
"As expected... Time in the Dark Release: Other Dimension is frozen... or close to frozen..."
Thinking this, Hyuga Sho sucked the branch back in.
Next.
Hyuga Sho replenished the Supersonic Kunai he had used up yesterday.
Then he prepared for the next stage.
Following the steps Kakashi and Tenzo had opened up, Hyuga Sho walked underground step by step.
Kakashi and Tenzo had already used Earth Release to dig a long way ahead.
They would probably connect the Torture Department and the former Root Underground Base today.
After inspecting the place for a moment, Hyuga Sho began cultivating amid the excavated earthworks.
Whoosh~!
He aimed his palm at the air and stirred the atmosphere, sucking the turbulent airflow inside.
A faint breeze immediately swept through the underground passage.
Hyuga Sho could clearly observe it.
Some of the air had already been sucked into the Dark Release: Other Dimension.
He focused his attention and sensed the situation inside the alternate dimension.
Hyuga Sho immediately discovered the airflow stored within.
"Hmm... My proficiency has increased. I can absorb airflow now..."
Hyuga Sho nodded, extremely satisfied.
As he gained better control over his proficiency, the types of matter he could absorb increased.
He was no longer limited to solids.
Next.
Hyuga Sho took out an Explosive Tag.
This thing had tremendous destructive power, equivalent to the grenades and explosives of his previous life.
Even a Kage Level ninja could be blown
