Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 365 Spiritual light as bones, gentle breeze as a lintel

"That's it."

The shadow disappeared into the shadow beneath its feet, transforming into a black shadow. It arrived in front of the scroll, reached out and took it down, feeling its cool touch.

Unfolding the scroll reveals not any ninjutsu, but a complete system of clearly numbered techniques: Hado, Bakudo, and Kurodo.

From the basic "Hado I: Rush" to the terrifying "Hado 99: Five Dragons Annihilation", many of them were things he had never seen in his previous life.

This scroll was naturally prepared by Hinata Kumokawa specifically for himself. The contents of the other nine scrolls would be much simpler, enough to guide others in the intended direction.

Unlike ninjutsu, Hado and Binddo involve a "double chanting" technique, which combines the chants of two different Hado or Binddo techniques to release a more powerful effect.

There is also the technique of "chanting to break free," which can be used without chanting, but its power will be weakened. The power depends on the strength of the user's spiritual energy.

The body of 'Shadow' is similar to that of Black Zetsu, possessing extremely strong survivability. However, due to its structure, it cannot use conventional ninjutsu, but it is adept at shadow techniques.

However, this body, created purely from Yin Release techniques, is an excellent vessel for using Hado, Bakudo, and Kaido.

Now that he has obtained this scroll, the 'Kage' truly possesses power surpassing that of the Five Kage.

However, this time, 'Shadow' did not rush away after taking the item as it did last time. Instead, it stood on the stone statue's finger and carefully sensed it.

"As expected..."

Feeling the vast yet silent chakra within the stone statue, 'Kage' was not surprised at all.

Each time he manifests, he will make some demands. The more demands he makes, the more points he will consume. The parts that he does not explicitly make demands for will be generated randomly.

When he materialized this "underground palace," his requirements, besides the stone statues, were that it could absorb chakra, physical energy, and spiritual energy, and that its defensive capabilities were strong enough.

However, he did not specify how to handle the absorbed chakra, physical energy, and spiritual energy, nor did he suggest how to ensure sufficient defense.

It now appears that the absorbed chakra, physical energy, and spiritual energy were stored by the stone statue.

Up to now, including those greedy people who keep coming to their deaths and sacrifice their lives.

The total amount of chakra stored inside the stone statue is comparable to the combined chakra of the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, and Three-Tailed beasts.

"This will make it easier for me to implement my subsequent plans." 'Shadow' thought to himself, his eyes gleaming.

However, besides these, he has another guess that needs to be verified.

When he materialized the underground palace, he required it to have a certain level of defense, at least it could not be forcibly broken, not even by Otsutsuki Isshiki.

He didn't make any specific demands at the time, just told it to let itself take initiative and ensure that the underground palace's defenses were strong enough.

However, if an "indestructible" buff were to be created out of thin air, the number of points required would definitely be more than the original amount, indicating that other methods were used to ensure defensive capabilities.

Sealing technique?
No, sealing techniques can still be destroyed by Otsutsuki Isshiki, so they can't be considered "indestructible".

Material?

No, 'Shadow' tried it before. The material can only absorb chakra, but it is not "indestructible".

So what is it that even Isshiki Otsutsuki cannot destroy?

He had already made a guess.

"Represent..."

'Shadow' gave the command in its mind: 'Connect the dragon vein to the underground palace.'

[Having spent 1 Realization Points, will it materialize?]

Upon hearing the notification in his mind, a smile appeared in 'Shadow's' eyes.

Sure enough.

The underground palace was built on a node of the "dragon vein".

The essence of the "Dragon Vein" is the boundless natural energy of this planet, a planetary source that even the Otsutsuki clan covets. The amount of energy on this planet is so vast that it is enough to ripen the fruit of the Divine Tree several times over, and even cutting a single slit in it is enough to distort spacetime.

Destroying the underground palace would mean shaking or even destroying the dragon vein.

But Otsutsuki Isshiki certainly can't do it now, and neither can anyone else in the ninja world, so it can be guaranteed that it won't be forcibly destroyed.

Therefore, the purpose of the reserved, yet-to-be-opened, third level of the underground palace is also quite clear.

“Manifestation,” 'Shadow' thought. “The third level of the underground palace, the statue in Ten-Tails form three, requires the combined chakra of Four-Tails and Five-Tails to open…”

"At the same time, connecting the dragon vein to the third layer will open a gap, allowing me to travel to the future node I want to see..."

Yes.

This time, he did not place any physical treasures on the third floor.

He wants to turn the third level into a one-time ticket to the future, so that those who enter the third level in the future can witness the future firsthand.

One, a "prophecy" carefully selected by him, capable of shocking the perceptions of all witnesses.

This time, he's going to deceive time.

[Having spent 10000 Realization Points, will it materialize?]

“Manifest,” 'Shadow' replied without hesitation.

[After deducting 10000 Realization Points, remaining Realization Points: 20041]

The moment the command was given, a barely perceptible fluctuation emanated from the depths of the underground palace, creating a mysterious connection with the dragon vein beneath their feet.

Just as 'Shadow' sensed the connection between the dragon vein and the underground palace.

Whoosh!

A sudden, violent, and scorching gust of wind howled in from the entrance to the second floor, instantly igniting the previously cold and lifeless air and causing the temperature to soar!

In the darkness at the entrance, a giant fire dragon head, far larger than usual and dark red in color, lunged at the 'shadow' at the fingertips of the stone statue above.

Fire Release·Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

'Shadow' lowered its gaze, looking in the direction from which the fire dragon was attacking.

At the entrance, Jiraiya puffed out his cheeks, formed hand seals in front of him, and breathed flames from his mouth.

The power of this attack far exceeded Jiraiya's usual level by several times.

Wherever the fire dragon passed, the air twisted violently, and even the moss on the walls that emitted a ghostly light instantly withered and curled up.

Clearly, the chakra and nature transformation contained within have been amplified.

This is, of course, because of the "Reincarnation Object" in Nagato's hand behind Jiraiya.

"So you've resorted to a master-disciple alliance to deal with me?" 'Shadow' chuckled, neither dodging nor avoiding the intensely hot flames.

Perfect, I'll use you guys to test this newfound power.

"The essence is the bone, and the breeze is the frame."

'Shadow' didn't even raise its hand, but simply stared at the raging flames before it, softly uttering simplified syllables that carried a peculiar rhythm and majesty.

“Binding Spell Number Thirty-Nine: Round Gate,” he said.

hum!
With a strange buzzing sound, just as the dark red flames were about to engulf the 'shadow'.

A semi-transparent, perfectly circular shield instantly unfolded in front of 'Shadow'.

Boom! !
