Young Minato! Battle! (Continued)

A three-pronged Kunai stood firmly embedded in the center, while eerie formulas covered the ground.

"The Tower of Lost Souls..." Aogetsu Hyuga murmured.

"The Tower of Lost Souls? What a scary name." Naruto played along.

Aogetsu Hyuga walked to the center, placed his hand on the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and channeled Chakra into it.

The next second, a brilliant purple light shot out, its beam soaring straight into the sky.

The purple beam swelled rapidly and swallowed Aogetsu Hyuga and Naruto whole.

Naruto's eyes went wide. He didn't even have time to scream.

Aogetsu Hyuga remained calm and let the purple light engulf him.

A blinding white light filled Aogetsu Hyuga's vision, then slowly faded.

As it faded, the scene before him began to change.

A woman's clear singing reached his ears.

Aogetsu Hyuga looked around. Naruto hadn't come with him. He turned his gaze forward.

He found himself in a dim prison. Only two shafts of sunlight shone through a hole in the Dome.

The sunlight fell directly on a woman.

A red-haired woman sat on a stone, singing a beautiful song.

That must be Sara. She has a lovely voice. I wonder what she'd sound like screaming.

With that thought, Aogetsu Hyuga stepped out, making no attempt to hide his footsteps.

At the sound of footsteps,

Sara turned toward him warily. When she saw his face, she froze, clearly taken aback by his appearance.

Aogetsu Hyuga raised a hand. "Hello."

Startled, Sara ran off. Several puppets suddenly appeared and surrounded Aogetsu Hyuga.

Aogetsu Hyuga glanced at them and scoffed. "They're nowhere near Sasori's puppets."

Without even taking his hands out of his pockets, he sent every puppet crashing to the ground in pieces.

Aogetsu Hyuga tapped the ground with his toe and appeared outside in an instant.
