Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 75 Flight, the Breath of Freedom

Outside the waterfall.

Beside the pool.

Facing the rising sun, Li Yao stretched out his right hand, from which shot out dense black iron chain threads.

The size of the black iron chain is not fixed.

The black iron chains, made of chakra, are a type of energy chain that can change size depending on how strong an individual's control is.

The stronger one's chakra control, the more one can shrink and enlarge the black iron chains while maintaining their stability.

The weaker one's chakra control, the more difficult it is to control the black iron chains to grow larger or smaller.

Even for the average person, or even Mito Uzumaki, it would be difficult to shrink the Kongo Lock to the size of a hair without affecting its stability.

Only Li Yao, who has absolute control over his own chakra, can do this.

Therefore, Li Yao can not only weave clothes with black iron chains, but also weave animal shapes.

At this moment, above the pool, countless black iron chains and threads were woven into a surface under Li Yao's control, and the surface then coalesced into a solid.

Without further ado, a giant black eagle with a wingspan of twelve meters appeared above the pool.

Looking at the water, the reflection of the giant black eagle is so lifelike that it seems as if a real giant eagle is floating on the surface of the pool.

Li Yao's knitting and shaping skills are actually quite good.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Li Yao controlled the Black Iron Giant Eagle, flapping its wings twice. He felt that the lift was indeed greatly increased, and it was able to take off.

But... I feel like it should be easier to fly.

"Something feels off."

Li Yao tilted his head and carefully observed the size comparison between the giant black iron eagle and the eagle chained with black iron chains next to it.

Aside from the different sizes, the proportions are the same, there's nothing wrong with it!

"call out!"

Just then, a sparrow flew out of the woods across the pool, attracting Li Yao's attention. Watching the sparrow, whose size was different from that of an eagle, nimbly flipping in the air, Li Yao's brain suddenly went blank.

"Oh, right!"

Li Yao slapped his forehead and shook his head, laughing, "How could I not have thought of that?"

Looking at the massive black iron eagle, enlarged to scale like an eagle, Li Yao finally realized something was wrong.

Birds all have a large body size.

However, the proportions of the body vary among birds of different sizes.

The size difference is even greater, especially between large and small birds.

Small birds that are small in size and light in weight usually do not have very long wingspans.

Conversely, birds that are large and heavy generally have longer wingspans.

At the same time, large and heavy birds pay more attention to a slender and flat body shape, which is conducive to takeoff, gliding and changing direction.

Some small and lightweight birds can grow to the size of a ball without significantly affecting their flight.

Li Yao is now weaving a giant black iron eagle with a wingspan of twelve meters.

The body proportions of this giant eagle with a wingspan are definitely different from those of an eagle with a wingspan of only one meter.

Otherwise, it would look like the giant black iron eagle that Li Yao has woven now. It may not look wrong, but in reality, its body is already too bloated.

The enormous lift generated by the twelve-meter wingspan was largely negated by the bulky body, making flight less effortless.

If Li Yao and his two shadow clones were to stand on top of it, the combined weight of the three of them would likely prevent even the twelve-meter-winged Black Iron Giant Eagle from taking flight.

With this in mind, Li Yao began to control the black iron chain threads to reweave and repair the giant eagle.

This makes the Black Iron Giant Eagle's body shape more streamlined and slender.

At the same time, Li Yao further increased the width and length of the wings, reaching a wingspan of fourteen meters, which allowed the wings to generate greater lift when flapping.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

On the pool, the surface of the water churned and rolled as the fourteen-meter-long wings of the Black Iron Giant Eagle flapped.

Li Yao broke the black iron chain that shot out from his palm.

The giant black iron eagle hovered above the pool of water, no longer needing Li Yao's control via the black iron chains. It truly took flight on its own, relying on the lift generated by its flapping wings.

"It seems... somewhat surprisingly easy!"

Li Yao smiled, looking somewhat surprised, and sensed something.

After its modification, the Black Iron Giant Eagle can generate enough lift to take off with just one flap of its wings, and it does so with ease.

Compared to the Black Iron Eagle, which previously needed to control its wings to flap twenty times per second to generate enough lift to take off in the cave, this is a significant improvement.

The Black Iron Giant Eagle is now incredibly easy to control.

However, even though it was very relaxing, it still distracted Li Yao.

Unlike Deidara's clay bird and the ink-wash bird created by the Super Beast Imitation Painting, which can control their flight without the caster's intervention.

Li Yao knew the reason: whether it was the clay bird or the ink bird, they were both given a form and will by special ninjutsu, so they could fly automatically without human control.

Li Yao's black iron chain giant eagle is a pure imitation of the flight principles of birds in the real world, so he has to be distracted to control it.

This is a drawback, but it's acceptable with the help of shadow clones.

"call out!"

Li Yao leaped from the edge of the pool and landed on the giant black iron eagle in the middle of the pool.

Whether we can take him flying or not, we'll have to try to find out.

As soon as Li Yao landed on the back of the Black Iron Giant Eagle, the eagle felt as if it had been suddenly burdened by a huge rock, its body slumping violently.

Li Yao quickly manipulated his twelve-meter-long wings, flapping them rapidly several times to stabilize his body, which then carried him hovering above the pool.

"Hahaha!"

"It can fly!"

Li Yao couldn't help but laugh excitedly. The Black Iron Giant Eagle could fly and carry him around.

"Boom! Boom!"

With a sudden flap of its fourteen-meter-long wings, the resulting gale blew the water level below into a trough, and the trees on both sides were whipped into a slicked-back shape.

The resulting immense lift propelled the Black Iron Giant Eagle, carrying Li Yao, rapidly into the sky.

"Huff huff..."

The air whistled past his ears, and the air currents swept across his cheeks. Li Yao opened his arms to greet the ever-expanding view of the land below.

soon.

Two thousand meters in the air.

Li Yao looked down at the land below. Beyond the pool was a forest, and in the distance was a small mountain range shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

The entire field of vision is a mix of yellow and green, with the yellow of autumn and the green of summer intertwined, revealing the unique and superior geographical conditions of the Land of Fire.

Autumn does not affect the reproduction of some green vegetation.

"Huff... huff..."

Li Yao's eyes were glazed over as he breathed in the air filled with the fragrance of freedom. He looked up at the white clouds in the sky above, which seemed within reach, and subconsciously reached out his hand, then clenched it tightly.

free!

For the first time since his transmigration, Li Yao felt the breath of freedom.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.

From this day forward, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

A surge of heroic spirit welled up within Li Yao, and his mind suddenly found peace at that moment.

At this moment, he had truly established himself in the world of Naruto.

Because being able to fly means you can do whatever you want, you can go wherever you want.

Having the ability to fly is like having the ability to break free from a cage; the sky is no longer a constraint, but a free world.

Even if Konoha now has ninjas who can fly on the ink-wash bird, Li Yao is not afraid.

He was confident that the Black Iron Giant Eagle he controlled would be faster and more durable than his opponent.

He was fearless as long as he was in the sky.
