Everyone's Riding the Flying Nimbus

After finally running out of the hot spring inn, Qinglong let out a long sigh of relief.

Naruto, being loyal, was still waiting at the entrance for Qinglong to come out and asked with concern.

"Qinglong, are you okay! Those old ladies didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

"No, no!"

Qinglong said, still shaken. Naruto looked at Qinglong and felt the same.

"Hmph! Those old ladies were too fierce!"

"No! The aunties weren't fierce, it was the women in the women's bath that were too fierce!"

What? A string of question marks popped up over Naruto's head, but that wasn't the point. The point was that perverted old man, making him and Qinglong suffer so much, it was unbearable!

"Qinglong, I'm going to find that perverted old man to settle the score! I have to teach him a lesson, are you coming?"

"No, no!"

This was Naruto's chance, Qinglong decided not to get involved.

"Then I'll go find him myself!"

As Naruto spoke, he flashed and chased in the direction Jiraiya had fled!

Qinglong returned home and ran into Hanabi, who was out shopping.

"Ah! Qinglong-kun!"

Little Hanabi happily trotted over, then stopped abruptly with a sudden brake right in front of Qinglong.

"Ah! Hanabi-chan, are you out buying fruit for your sister?"

"Mhm!"

Little Hanabi nodded. Their sisterly relationship was very harmonious. Hinata had always doted on her and taken good care of her since she was little, so she made sure to take care of her sister whenever she had free time these past few days.

"Qinglong-kun, I heard from my sister that you have a big treasure that makes people happy and fly up to the sky, is that right?"

Little Hanabi's face was flushed. She had always gotten whatever she wanted since she was little, and it was embarrassing for her to ask others about good things.

"Huh?"

Qinglong thought about it, then thought again, and nodded.

"Ah, yes! Haha!"

"Then can you show me your big treasure?"

Little Hanabi asked with innocent curiosity and longing.

"I really want to ride it and fly happily to the sky!"

"Okay, okay!"

Qinglong took Little Hanabi to an open space in a secluded grove, mainly to avoid being seen by others, which would be difficult to explain.

"Flying Nimbus!"

Qinglong shouted at the sky! A golden cloud drifted out from the depths of the sky, descending with a golden light.

As expected, this scene attracted the attention of the Konoha ninja, who rushed over from all directions.

Qinglong and Little Hanabi had already gotten on the cloud. He waved to Hanabi's guards and the pursuing Anbu ninja.

"This is my flying Ninjutsu. I'll take Miss Hanabi for a ride in the sky and then bring her down!"

As he spoke, the Flying Nimbus drew a tail wing and soared straight into the sky!

"Ah!"

"We're flying! We're flying!"

"Qinglong-kun, we're flying!"

Little Hanabi shrieked with excitement, a mix of fear and thrill!

Watching the Konoha village quickly shrink below, with white clouds appearing close at hand, the world became boundless and vast!

"Flying Nimbus, charge!"

With Qinglong's command, the Flying Nimbus accelerated again, streaking across the sky. Little Hanabi held on tightly to Qinglong, never having felt so free.

"Flying Nimbus, charge, charge, charge! Go!"

Little Hanabi shouted in her childish voice, incredibly excited.

After circling the sky once, Qinglong brought Little Hanabi back to Konoha. This had scared the two Hyuga guards so much their faces had turned pale. If anything had happened to Hanabi Hyuga, they would never be able to forgive themselves even unto death!

The Anbu who had arrived rushed to report to the Hokage, fearing another Konoha Hyuga clan kidnapping incident.

Fortunately, Qinglong had brought Hanabi back!

Little Hanabi looked at her guards, feeling quite embarrassed. She apologized before reluctantly getting down.

Qinglong saw Little Hanabi's reluctance and said.

"Let's ride the Flying Nimbus to see your sister, it'll be faster!"

Hanabi nodded happily, extending her small hand. Qinglong pulled her onto the Flying Nimbus, which then slowly drifted at an altitude of just over a meter.

Many passersby cast curious glances, wondering what this strange object capable of carrying people through the air could be. However, with Anbu and Hyuga guards following, no one dared to approach and ask.

They soon arrived at Konoha Hospital, where the Twelve Rookie Ninjas happened to be. They all ran over, curious, upon seeing the golden Flying Nimbus.

Well, everyone except Rock Lee!

That guy had already been banned! Five minutes of cheating, five hundred episodes of being banned!

"Wow! This is the Flying Nimbus!"

Naruto was the first to rush over, circling the Flying Nimbus with a look of fascination.

Hanabi, blushing, shyly hopped off the Flying Nimbus. The others then gathered around, marveling at it.

"Um, can I go up?"

Naruto looked at Qinglong with delight.

"Of course."

Qinglong said to the others, "You can all try riding it too, but I'll make one thing clear: only those with a pure heart can ride the Flying Nimbus!"

"I'm definitely a person with a pure heart!"

Naruto said, then leaped onto the Flying Nimbus.

Thump!

It was like leaping onto a ball of floating cotton. Everyone watched, their hearts stirred, genuinely curious if this cloud could truly test one's inner purity.

"Naruto can ride it, so Sasuke definitely can too! Sasuke, let's go try."

Sakura, seeing Naruto able to climb onto the Flying Nimbus, called out to Sasuke to give it a try.

"I won't be interested in that sort of thing!"

Sasuke said, but he walked over nonetheless. He cautiously reached out to touch it, but his fingers passed right through the Flying Nimbus as if it weren't there.
