The Dutiful Son's Sword Only Stabs the Third Hokage

Owen, head of Konoha's ANBU, was deeply trusted by the Third Hokage.

After helping Konoha through one crisis after another, Owen was adopted as the Third Hokage's sworn son.

During the Konoha Crush, the Third Hokage was no match for Orochimaru. As he lay dying, he looked to the heavens and cried for help: "Where is my son, Owen?"

"Your son is here!"

A black-haired figure burst onto the scene, his red spear piercing the Third Hokage with the force of a thunderbolt.

"My foolish adoptive father, have you ever heard this saying: The Sky-Piercer Halberd is made for skewering adoptive fathers!"

Owen loudly mocked the Third Hokage as he lay on the verge of death.
