Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World

Chapter 567 First Form: What an unpleasant memory!

At this very moment, above the underground palace.

shhhhhh!

The piercing shrieks were so dense they resembled a torrential downpour, forming a chilling, shrill buzzing sound that sent shivers down one's spine.

Tens of thousands of black rods followed the three swiftly flying figures below, continuously shooting down from the sky.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki hovered in the air, like a god looking down on ants, coldly gazing at the land below, which was fragmented into pieces by the shape of a black rod.

Above his head, countless black rods were shot out from the space of "Great Black Heaven" towards the three streams of light whose trajectories were constantly changing.

Below, Nagato, Naruto, and Sasuke flew across the ground at incredible speed, leaving long afterimages behind them like three fleeting meteors.

Under the black rain, they constantly shuttled, crisscrossed, and changed direction, trying to escape the torrent of black sticks that clung to them like maggots.

Bang bang bang! !

A torrent of sharp black rods followed closely behind, continuously penetrating the places they had just passed, easily piercing through the hard ground and leaving bottomless holes.

Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, rocks flew everywhere, and jagged ravines were left behind.

However, it was not long before Yishi noticed the change in the trajectory of the three people below.

The three streaks of light that had been flashing and changing direction to escape the pursuit gradually began to merge.

Their movement trajectories were no longer chaotic, but tended to be parallel, transforming into three parallel straight lines, rushing in the same direction.

The three black rods that were originally chasing the three people above naturally merged into a larger and denser torrent due to the convergence of the targets below.

With greater speed and more concentrated firepower, it transformed into a shadow of death, rapidly approaching the three from behind.

"court death?"

Otsutsuki Isshiki frowned slightly, but he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Since these three insects want to get together and die, let's grant their wish.

Thinking of this, Yishi's eyes narrowed.

hum!

Just a hundred meters ahead of the three parallel streaks of light, a huge black and red cube called "Da Xia Tian" appeared out of thin air in the path that the three of them had to rush forward.

Its enormous size and heavy weight instantly blocked their path forward.

Almost simultaneously, three more "Great Box Heavens," each radiating a similarly heavy and oppressive aura, appeared to the left of the three individuals, respectively.

Right side and directly above.

It crashed down from above, and slammed down from the left and right, carrying a terrifying weight capable of crushing everything into dust.

The road ahead is blocked, the left and right sides are sealed off, and there is heavy pressure from above.

Behind them, the even more violent torrent of black rods, which had converged into one, was like an open maw of death, with a shrill scream that tore everything apart, and it was almost within reach!

Attack from all sides, from above, below, left, right, front, and back.

The three streaks of light seemed to be trapped in a desperate situation.

However, just as the three figures were completely blocked from retreat by attacks from all directions, they suddenly stopped their forward charge.

Naruto Uzumaki, standing in the middle, suddenly turned around in front of the massive "Ooka Ten" blocking his way, facing the other three pitch-black behemoths crashing down from the left, right, and above.

puff!

The nine pale, thick tails behind him, with their jagged bones and covered in the surging crimson Nine-Tails chakra, suddenly stretched out.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The nine tails were divided into three groups of three, like three ferocious giant pythons, facing the three "Great Heavenly Boxes" that came crashing down from the left, right and above, seemingly capable of crushing mountains.

The instant they made contact, an indescribable, terrifying weight, like a mountain range, crashed down on Naruto's tail.

An indescribable, terrifying impact spread outwards from the point of impact, compressing the air into visible shockwaves and producing a deafening explosion!

Click! Click!

The sickening sound of bones grinding and cracking rang out instantly.

Naruto gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. The ground beneath his feet could not withstand the terrifying pressure, shattering and collapsing, cracking inch by inch, forming an ever-expanding spiderweb-like depression.

He could feel the weight coming from the three "Great Heavenly Boxes," which was beyond his imagination, pressing down on him so that his bones were groaning and his muscles were trembling wildly.

It should be noted that each of these seemingly not excessively large "Great Box Heavens" is terrifyingly heavy.

In the later Boruto series, although Naruto Uzumaki lost the Six Paths power, his strongest mechanism, his physique was already very close to that of a true member of the Otsutsuki clan.

But even Naruto, who possesses such power, cannot withstand the weight of "Ooka Ten".

In the end, it was only by relying on the "heavy particle mode" obtained by burning the Nine-Tails' life that he gained the power to withstand "Ookuten" and surpass the physical qualities of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

At this point in time, Naruto is still clearly far from reaching that level.

At this moment, simultaneously bearing down the impact of three "Great Box Heavens" is undoubtedly putting Naruto under immense pressure beyond his limits.

"cough!"

A mouthful of blood spilled from Naruto's mouth, and his bones groaned under the strain. Fine cracks began to appear on the three tails that supported him.

But that's enough.

Nagato turned around to face the torrent of black rods pouring down from behind and above, raised his arm, and stretched out his palm.

The six tin staffs in his hands suddenly spun in front of him, transforming into a barrier.

This staff is a product of the Truth-Seeking Jewel, which is almost the ultimate product of changing form and nature on the path of "technique".

Ding ding ding!!

Countless black rods shot towards the spinning tin staff crashed into it and were completely shredded. The fragments of the black rods scattered in all directions, temporarily halting the momentum of the torrent of black rods.

but----

hum!

Under the gaze of Isshiki Otsutsuki's "black eye," the Six Paths Staff in Nagato's hand instantly shrank and disappeared, and countless black rods shot towards them again.

Close at hand.

Upon seeing this, Nagato's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Sasuke."

"I know."

The answer he received was Sasuke's calm voice.

Squeak!

Sasuke Uchiha was covered in violently pulsating lightning, emitting a piercing scream, as if thousands of birds were shrieking at the same time.

He stopped behind Nagato, raised his arm and turned around. He held the silver spear in one hand, upright in front of him, and with his other hand he gripped the middle of the spear shaft and pulled it back sharply.

Squeak!

The silver spear's shaft was bent, drawn into a bow shape.

The lightning chakra covering Sasuke surged wildly towards the bow, then spread and condensed to both sides of the bow, turning into branches like tree branches.

Around Sasuke, several skeletal arms formed by Susanoo condensed and appeared behind him, as if they were extensions of his own arms, making the same motion of drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

hum!

Countless arrows, crackling with violent lightning, coalesced between the bowstring and the skeletal arms, their tips pointing directly at the incoming torrent of black clubs.

Eight Thunder Gods - Fire and Thunder!

Sasuke's Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan locked onto their target simultaneously, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, only absolute calm and killing intent.

Then, let go.

Shoot out————

呲! !

Countless sharp whistles overlapped and merged into a single piercing shriek that tore through the sky!

Countless lightning arrows shot out from Sasuke's bowstring, trailing long streaks of lightning, transforming into blazing white streaks that tore through the air, and then into a shower of azure light.

They faced head-on the onrushing torrent of black rods.

Rumble!

The lightning arrows and the torrent of black rods collided violently in the air. Fragments of the black rods flew everywhere, lightning exploded, the ground trembled, and the air groaned.

The lightning from the "Fire and Thunder" explosion illuminated the shadowy land as if it were daytime, forcefully pushing back the massive torrent of black rods.

Click click click!

At the same time, a series of rapid, bone-crunching sounds rang out.

The pale white bone armor covering Naruto's entire body extended and multiplied like a living thing, with countless thick and twisted bones piercing through his skin and intersecting, building, and piecing together around him.

In the blink of an eye, the outline of the Nine-Tails' enormous fox skull took shape, enveloping Naruto within it. Its ferocious muzzle and sharp fangs exuded an aura of savagery and brutality.

Dark red, blood-like chakra surged from Naruto's body, transforming into vibrant, pulsating flesh and blood that rapidly filled and covered his pale bones, outlining an even clearer and more ferocious face.

Especially those huge, scarlet beast eyes, fixed on Isshiki Otsutsuki in the air, suddenly opened his huge fang-filled genitals, revealing Naruto inside.

At this moment, Naruto raised his right arm, his fingers together, forming the shape of a gun, with his fingertips pointing directly at the air.

In front of his fingertips, before the open mouth of the nine-tailed fox, a chilling crimson light rapidly expanded and condensed, radiating an increasingly terrifying sense of oppression.

—Cero!

hum!

A crimson beam of light shot out from the nine-tailed fox's gaping maw.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a piercing buzz, and space itself seemed to be slightly distorted, piercing through the billowing smoke and the lingering lightning.

It fiercely shot towards those black rods and the Otsutsuki Isshiki higher up.

At the same moment the "Cero" was fired.

Click!

The nine fox tails, already riddled with cracks and struggling to hold on, finally reached their limit and shattered under the terrifying pressure of the three "Great Heavenly Boxes".

The shattered bones flew off under the immense force, and the scarlet chakra cloak scattered like tattered brocade!

The three "Great Heavenly Boxes," now free from any obstruction, collided with overwhelming force, bringing with them the power to crush everything.

Rumble!!

The three pitch-black cubes collided violently where the three had been standing, producing a muffled, deafening roar as if the sky were collapsing.

The raging torrents, carrying clouds of dust, swept in all directions, causing the earth to tremble as if it were about to be overturned.

High in the sky, Yi Shi didn't even lift his eyelids, his pupils reflecting the scarlet light shooting towards him.

"Isn't it clear by now?" He stood there, his tone calm and cold. "Your struggles are futile."

The moment he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly.

His nickname is Biguna.

hum!

The crimson beam of light, which was almost within reach and about to devour him, shrank instantly and disappeared without a trace before him, leaving only a trace of heat and the smell of burning in the air.

There was no ripple in Yishi's eyes as he looked down at the billowing smoke and dust.

However, what was reflected in his pupils was a blinding light.

The smoke and dust were instantly pierced by that azure streak of light!

Its speed was terrifyingly fast, shooting from the ground into the sky, reflected in the slightly contracted pupils of the character, approaching from afar, as fast as a dream, as swift as thunder.

It truly resembled a bolt of lightning flowing backwards from the earth to the sky.

Countless finer, branch-shaped bolts of lightning spread out from both sides of the main body of that azure stream of light, like blood vessels.

Under the dim sky, it outlined the shape of an upside-down tree, as described in the Old Testament.

It was magnificent, yet filled with a deadly aura.

In reality, the speed at which lightning strikes the ground is about one-tenth to one-third of the speed of light.

The speed of this shot, while not quite lightning, was nearly as fast.

That's a speed that's almost impossible for the human eye to catch and completely beyond the reach of nerve reflexes.

For Issho, who hasn't fully unleashed the "Wedge" and released his own power, capturing such terrifying speed is incredibly difficult.

Therefore, I felt a stinging sensation, as if needles were slowly pricking my eyes.

Almost instinctively, before Otsutsuki Isshiki even had time to think about what it was, his body, driven by his honed fighting instincts—

Moved.

"His childhood name was Biguna."

The first move is to shrink or eliminate the incoming attack.

However, in that brief moment, time seemed to stretch out.

The true form of that stream of light was reflected in Otsutsuki Isshiki's pupils.

It was a silver spear.

A silver spear covered in raging azure lightning, its tip gleaming with a cold light.

Lightning crackled across the gun barrel.

That's Sasuke Uchiha's silver spear.

At this moment, however, the silver spear was magnified countless times.

Under Susanoo's full-force throw, it seemed to transform into the Spear of Destiny in the hands of Odin, the "King of the Gods" in mythology, a spear that would surely hit and pierce its target once thrown.

—Gungnir

C

The moment he saw the silver spear clearly, a strange sense of familiarity inexplicably rose in Otsutsuki Isshiki's heart.

It wasn't a memory of the weapon itself, but rather a stirring that seemed to be etched deep within my genes.

What followed closely was the trembling and fear that came with the familiarity, almost freezing his mind.

No, that's not right.

"That weapon, how could it be—"

Although he has lost specific memories and cannot recall how he was beaten to the last breath by Otsutsuki Kumoshiki a thousand years ago.

It also details how he lost all pride and composure in that crushing defeat, and could only flee like a stray dog ​​to barely survive.

But the fear of being crushed in the same way by Yun Shi, having his proud pupil technique completely suppressed, and ultimately facing death, was like the deepest brand, etched into his instincts.

At this moment, the feeling this silver spear evoked in him was remarkably similar to the vague shadow of death in his memory.

"No! We can't take that risk!"

Driven by fear, Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's calm demeanor vanished, replaced by a grim expression. He attempted to use "Sunka Hikona" to shrink himself and evade the attack.

boom!!

In the distance, Sasuke, who was standing in Susanoo, lowered his arm that had been raised above his head.

In the gloomy, dark sky, a thick, azure lightning bolt crashed down, illuminating the entire battlefield in a ghastly white light, and struck the unsuspecting Otsutsuki Isshiki.

—Eight Thunder Gods: Earth Thunder.

The term "earth lightning" refers to the appearance of lightning striking the earth.

"Damn it!"

Although this level of attack could not cause much damage to Yishi, it was enough to paralyze his body for a moment.

It was only a moment, and it was already too late.

The silver spear covered in azure lightning was already within reach.

Otsutsuki Isshiki could only choose to activate his "Shona Hikona" against that silver spear.

The power of "Shona Biguna" rippled like an invisible wave, enveloping the lightning spear and attempting to shrink and erase it.

However----

invalid.

The expected scene of the silver spear shrinking and disappearing did not occur.

Why?

Almost the instant this question surfaced in his mind, a cold and clear answer appeared in Otsutsuki Isshiki's mind, as if he had known it all along.

It was as if he had already received this answer, but it was only now being reawakened.

"Was that gun alive?"

"Another living weapon?"

puff!

The moment that last thought inexplicably popped into Isshiki Otsutsuki's mind, the thick, azure lightning bolt, powerful enough to pierce the heavens and earth, had already swept past his body.

His body was cleaved in two at the waist by that silver spear.

Only the crackling sound of lightning raging and burning at the broken edge, and the frozen astonishment on the pale face illuminated by the lightning.

Sizzle!

Only then did the piercing thunder, so sharp it seemed to tear the entire sky apart, finally arrive and reach the ears of everyone below.

That's proof that sound is left far behind by speed.

Below, amidst the thick smoke and dust billowing from the bombardment of "Great Heavenly Box," two figures suddenly burst forth.

Nagato and Naruto, like arrows released from a bow, rushed towards the direction where Isshiki Otsutsuki had fallen in the distance.

Taking advantage of his weakness, they needed to confirm that they had killed Yishi.

Behind them, above the three tightly joined "Great Box Heavens," only a Susanoo clad in Tengu armor stood majestically.

Its entire body was wrapped in dazzling lightning, its muscular purple arms maintained a powerful throwing posture, and the lightning arcs that had not yet dissipated after it was thrown remained on its fingers.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Uchiha Sasuke's body was also crackling with dazzling blue and white lightning, a manifestation of the "Eight Thunder Gods" power being pushed to its limit. He was panting heavily, and sweat was seeping from his forehead.

But the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan with their six tomoe coldly stared at the figure in the air that had been split in two.

Clearly, at the critical moment, he used the "Eight Thunder Gods" to enhance his penetrating power and speed, and strengthen his explosive power, allowing Susanoo to throw the silver spear with all its might.

but----

hum!

Uchiha Sasuke reached out his hand, and the silver spear that had been shot out and disappeared into the sky seemed to be summoned, turning into a silver streak of light and flying back from the sky, landing in his palm.

The gun felt slightly heavy in my hand, vibrated gently, and emitted a low hum, like a living creature that had just drunk blood and was still not satisfied.

Sasuke raised his eyes and looked at the silver spear called "Holy Annihilation Arrow".

He knew very well that the reason the three of them were able to threaten Ōtsutsuki Isshiki so easily was not because of any ingenious scheme.

It was this gun.

Nagato obtained all the information about the ability "Shuna Kunguna" from Hanzo.

It is known that "Shaoming Kunguna" cannot affect any living beings other than the user.

It was based on this fact that the three of them determined this somewhat risky plan, based on the fact that the "Holy Arrow of Annihilation" possessed a soul.

"It now seems the plan should be successful—"

boom!!

Before Uchiha Sasuke could even catch his breath, a deafening roar suddenly exploded from the direction where Otsutsuki Isshiki had fallen.

In the distance, a shockwave carrying debris and dust swept in all directions.

"What?"

Sasuke Uchiha's pupils, which had just relaxed for a moment, suddenly contracted.

In the distance within his sight, Nagato and Naruto's figures flew back at an even faster speed than when they rushed forward.

Sasuke subconsciously controlled Susanoo, and the giant wearing the Tengu armor stretched out his huge arms to grab the two figures flying backward.

Bang!Bang!

Nagato and Naruto's bodies crashed heavily into the outstretched palm of Susanoo.

However, the moment it caught the two, a heavy and terrifying force caused Susanoo's massive body to tremble.

Sasuke grunted, and his Susanoo was pulled backward by the impact, sliding uncontrollably for more than ten meters, creating a deep trench in the ground before he could barely regain his footing.

"Ahem!"

Nagato and Naruto steadied themselves and coughed up blood.

"What's going on?" Sasuke raised his head, his expression becoming extremely solemn as he stared at the distant horizon where the smoke and dust had not yet completely dissipated.

"What an unpleasant memory."

The sound of gritting teeth rang out from the smoke and dust. As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the figure slowly straightened up, revealing itself to everyone's view.

His pale skin had an inhuman texture in the dim light, and a long horn that curved backward like a crown grew from the top of his head to the back of his head, adding to his majesty.

There is only one eyebrow on his forehead, which grows diagonally above his right eye.

That face, though equally indifferent and carrying a sense of detachment that looked down upon all living beings, was utterly unfamiliar.

That aura—

"Otsutsuki Isshiki?"

Sasuke stared intently at the unfamiliar face, his grip on the silver spear tightening involuntarily. He said gravely, "Is this... your true face?"

Ignoring Sasuke, Otsutsuki Isshiki reached out and gently brushed the dust off his robes with a calm and elegant gesture, then slowly raised his arms.

With this movement, his clothes, which had been tattered and barely covered his body due to the previous battle, were covered with a clean white long-sleeved tailcoat.

After doing all this, he slowly lowered his arm, his eyes flashing with a cold and dangerous light as he swept over the three people below, as if looking at three corpses about to lose their warmth.

"I don't have time to play around with you guys anymore," said Yishi.

The power sealed within this temporary container has been completely unleashed.

The power boost brought about by the forced reincarnation came at the cost of the complete collapse of this vessel.

He could sense that the meridians, bones, and even cells and genes inside this body were all bearing the weight of the burden, and Yuan Ming was irreversibly heading towards collapse.

He must get rid of the ants in front of him as soon as possible, and then find a new, more suitable container.

but----

Otsutsuki Isshiki's gaze fell on the silver spear that Sasuke was gripping tightly in his hand, then looked at the katana in Nagato's hand and the seemingly ordinary wooden sword in Naruto's hand.

His eyes gradually darkened, the aloof indifference fading away, replaced by a fury and murderous intent that seemed to freeze the air.

"A living weapon—"

The voice, which had been calm to the point of indifference, now carried a hint of gritted teeth: "Is it—again—that damned Yun Shi's creation?"

Although the specific memories of that crushing defeat a thousand years ago have disappeared, the humiliation of being toyed with, crushed, and defeated is etched deep into his soul like a brand.

"You're already dead, yet you're still causing me trouble," Ichishi said coldly. "Then I'll destroy everything you left behind."

boom!!

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath Isshiki Otsutsuki's feet shattered with a deafening roar, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant, so fast that he didn't even leave a trace.

Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, only managing to catch a blurry, almost indistinguishable outline that appeared before him at a speed beyond his reaction limits.

He could even clearly see the cold indifference in the other person's eyes.

"Varied----"

Sasuke didn't even have time to think; his body's instincts had already taken over. Susanoo raised its arms and crossed them in front of it, trying to block this attack that was impossible to dodge.

Without using any weapon, he simply raised his leg and kicked out.

Unpretentious.

Yet it possesses a terrifying power that seems capable of shattering mountains.

boom!!

That Susanoo, whose strength rivaled that of a complete form, had its thick, powerful arms crossed in front of it, along with the solid armor covering its chest—

With that one step, everything shattered, and purple chakra fragments scattered everywhere.

The kick traveled with almost no resistance, landing squarely on Uchiha Sasuke, who was protected by Susanoo.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed uncontrollably from Sasuke's mouth.

An irresistible, terrifying force carried him like a cannonball, smashing through the back of Susanoo and sending him flying out of the massive giant.

Uchiha Sasuke streaked through the air and crashed into the ground in the distance, creating a long trench.

Susanoo's body, having lost its support, exploded with a roar, turning into countless purple specks of light that slowly dissipated.

one strike.

It was just one strike.

The Susanoo, clad in Tengu armor, crackling with lightning, and possessing strength comparable to a fully formed Susanoo, crumbled with a single, seemingly effortless kick from Isshiki Otsutsuki.

"die!"

Almost simultaneously, Nagato appeared behind Isshiki Otsutsuki.

The "Reincarnation Object" in his hand drew a dark arc, silently slashing towards the back of Isshiki's neck.

At the same time, nine thick tails shot out from behind Naruto at Isshiki Otsutsuki from different angles, sealing off his space to dodge.

They attacked from both sides with perfect coordination, as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times.

However----

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki didn't even turn around; he merely tilted his head slightly, his black eye giving a casual glance at Nagato behind him.

puff!

Several pitch-black, cold rods seemed to burst forth from Nagato's body, piercing through his shoulders, ribs, and thighs, instantly pinning him to the spot.

Blood slid down the black rod, and Nagato's movements suddenly froze. The katana in his hand was only a hair's breadth away from Isshiki's nape, but he could not go any further.

Immediately afterwards, Isshiki's gaze swept over Naruto on the other side.

Boom! Boom boom!

Nine enormous black spikes tore through the air and descended from the sky, piercing through Naruto's nine attacking tails and pinning them firmly to the ground.

"I told you."

Yi Shi slowly withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "I don't have time to play around with you."

Having said that, he took a step forward—

hum!

That oppressive feeling, so real, was like an invisible mountain crashing down on everyone.

But just as Otsutsuki Isshiki raised his hand, intending to kill the three of them completely.

Rumble!!

The ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble violently.

It was as if something was surging and crashing upwards from the depths of the earth.

The ground began to crack and bulge like waves, with huge cracks spreading in all directions at a visible speed, scattering rocks and sending up dust.

The underground palace, which was originally hidden underground, seemed to awaken a sleeping giant beast and rumbled upwards.

The thick rock layers were pierced and overturned, and the magnificent and ancient underground palace dome gradually broke through the ground, rising slowly with immense force, exposed to the world.

Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sky and the sun.

"That is—"

Otsutsuki Isshiki suddenly turned his head, a look of surprise and doubt appearing on his cold and gloomy face.

He sensed it.

That aura, that aura that originated from the same source as him, yet was more ancient, more profound, and more terrifying!

"Otsutsuki—Shibai?!" Itchishi's breath seemed to stop.

Damn!

How could they suddenly appear?!

Without the slightest hesitation, Otsutsuki Isshiki didn't even glance at the three opponents he considered doomed. With a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

They rushed towards the rising underground palace.

For him, nothing was more important than the remains of Ōtsutsuki Shibayo.

As long as one can obtain that power, the lives of three mere ants are utterly insignificant.

He has only one thought in his mind right now.

One must obtain the power of Shiba-kai before others!

[I've hit my limit, but I still haven't managed to write 10,000 words. Including the time spent writing the detailed outline, that means I've been writing since 5 a.m. yesterday, and it's been a bit exhausting.]
