They said goodbye to Ayane and the others.
Gentō took Uchiha Hikari with him and flew off in an arbitrary direction.
Before long, they reached a white plain similar to the one they had just left, and Gentō landed with Uchiha Hikari.
Although they had not flown for long, Gentō's current speed had carried them a considerable distance. Yet they had not seen a single person along the way.
