Time moved forward to midnight, as the drama at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital drew to a close.
Standing in midair, Uchiha Naruto watched the chaotic scene on the rooftop with interest. Only after Doctor Satomi was escorted downstairs by the Special Assault Team did he turn and fly toward Nakano Ward.
After raising Earth Release to LV3, Uchiha Naruto had also mastered the Light-Weight Rock Technique, gaining the ability to fly.
There were not many ninjutsu in Naruto that allowed flight, and most involved using vehicles or creating wings.
Among them, the Light-Weight Rock Technique was one of the most impressive, allowing the user to rise into the air by controlling gravity.
After reducing his weight with the Light-Weight Rock Technique, Uchiha Naruto used Wind Release to ride the wind, chasing clouds and racing lightning. His speed was astonishing, even faster than his previous Crow Clone.
With Transparent Release concealing his figure, Uchiha Naruto had little to worry about and flew straight through the night sky, with Tokyo, that sleepless city of scattered lights, lying beneath him.
After flying to the Uchiha Residence in Nakano Ward, he entered through the attic window he had deliberately left open. Uchiha Naruto glanced back, still wanting more.
Flight truly deserved its place as humanity's dream since ancient times. Escaping Earth's gravity and soaring freely through the sky really did feel wonderful.
Uchiha Naruto returned to his room, shut the door, and sat down at his desk.
An open copy of An Actor Prepares lay on the desk, with a bookmark tucked inside, several dog-eared pages, and small lines of reading notes in the margins. Clearly, its reader had studied it carefully.
Besides An Actor Prepares, books such as The Complete Guide to Directing and Directing Actors were also piled on the desk.
