Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 31 Fire Release: Heavenly Prison

"Help! Help!"

"Damn monster!"

"Stop him! Don't let this guy get near the village!"

A mournful roar echoed through the darkness, and under the moonlight, a ghostly orange-red light flickered, relentlessly taking the lives of the surrounding ninjas.

"Scatter!"

A kunai with an explosive tag attached shot through the air with a sharp whooshing sound. Naruto, who was about to slit a throat, was caught in the fox tail and paused.

Then he tilted his head, raised his hand, and grabbed the kunai.

He removed the explosive tag and stuck it on the grass ninja, then flicked his fox tail and threw it into the crowd. With a casual flick of his kunai, he pierced the chest of a grass ninja who was charging at him.

The movements were fluid and smooth, a perfect recreation of the classic Battle Rose in the blink of an eye.

With a loud bang, several grass ninjas, like broken dolls, flailed their limbs and spiraled into the sky amidst the flames.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

A mud dragon, several meters long, rose from the ground and lunged menacingly towards Naruto.

"Dragon Bullet? Anyone can do that!"

Naruto scoffed, leaped out of the earth dragon's range, and landed on a thick tree branch.

A smile immediately appeared on his lips as he raised his hands and formed a hand seal: "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Kaka-

The tree next to Naruto suddenly deformed violently, growing wildly and transforming into a hundred-meter-long dragon in an instant!

The dragon, with its four claws supporting it on the ground, rose up, its head held high, as if roaring silently.

Naruto stood atop the wooden dragon head with his arms crossed, looking down at the world with an arrogant expression. The full moon behind him made his already unruly demeanor even more overbearing!

"You used ninjutsu first! Kill!"

As the sound faded, the wooden dragon swung its tail, stirring up a huge cloud of dust.

One by one, the grass ninjas were sent flying, blood spurting from their mouths, screaming in agony!

"Wood Release! This is Wood Release!"

"The ninjutsu of the God of Ninjas? Damn it! What kind of monster is this kid?!"

"Don't be afraid! Use Fire Release!"

From the crowd, a Jonin roared, rapidly forming hand seals: "Fire Release: Demon Lantern!"

woohoo hoo...

Fireballs resembling demons burst forth in the darkness, hurtling towards Naruto.

Naruto chuckled and extended a fox tail.

With a casual sweep, a hurricane surged forth, and several fireballs vanished like candles in a storm.

Before Naruto could comment on this, several more figures suddenly appeared and launched an attack on him together.

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Fire Sword!"

As their figures clashed, bright red flames ignited in the hands of several people, coalescing into longswords that pierced towards Naruto from all directions.

"This technique... it's finally here..."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. Sensing a long-lurking malice in the shadows, Naruto leaped up, dodging the attacks of the group, and darted towards the direction of that malice.

"Now!"

In the darkness, a figure suddenly darted out and struck Naruto's chest with a palm.

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison!"

Bang!

The moment the palm struck Naruto's chest, a tremendous force sent Naruto flying.

The scorching fire chakra entered Naruto's body and spread to his limbs.

Sensing the binding force of the chakra, Kurama raised its eyelids and snorted disdainfully within its spiritual space.

Having been inside Naruto for so long, it has come to understand that all the external forces that invade Naruto's body, except for the tailed beast itself which for some reason has not been eliminated, whether it is chakra or ability, will eventually become nutrients for this kid's growth!

Moreover, there was a strange feeling in the Nine-Tails' heart.

This feeling is absurd, but it stems from its own animalistic instincts.

It was as if it was telling itself that if it weren't for Naruto's approval, it might really be completely erased like all that chakra!

This kid is showing off his Tailed Beast chakra like it's food; his chakra level has surpassed mine! Please, please stop feeding him that!

"Negative buff detected: Fire Release: Heavenly Prison! Effect: Chakra Imprisonment! Removed! Gain Fire Release: Heavenly Prison..."

"Not bad, it wasn't for nothing that I got slapped..."

Naruto smirked, glanced at the Grass Ninja who were closing in from all directions, and slowly stood up.

"That's enough, kid!"

The man who had just slapped Naruto stepped forward, the moonlight illuminating a fair and handsome face.

It really was this guy…

Naruto dusted himself off.

In the movie Blood Prison, what was the name of the lord of Hozuki Castle again?

Oh well, he's not a very important guy anyway.

However, he was genuinely envious of this chakra imprisonment technique, which was the main reason he was willing to spend time with these grass ninja.

At such a young age, with such immense power, Naruto couldn't believe that these Grass Ninja wouldn't be tempted.

If there's even the slightest chance of capturing them alive, these guys will swarm around them, trying to seize control of their power—a common problem in the ninja world.

While the Grass Ninja Village is in a sorry state, it's not without its good points.

For example, the Box of Bliss, the Bloodline Limit of Dragon Reincarnation, and this guy's Fire Release: Heavenly Prison.

This technique is quite powerful. Those affected by it will develop tread-like patterns on their bodies. If they try to mobilize their chakra, they will suffer a backlash from the technique, causing severe pain or even fainting.

If chakra is forcibly mobilized, or if the caster is moved out of a certain range, the Heavenly Prison Curse will transform into chains of flames, burning the victim to death.

It's worth mentioning that this technique is ineffective in water, and Sage Mode can bypass the technique, but neither can undo it.

As long as the imprint exists, the spell will remain, and only the caster can undo it.

A very practical binding technique, but it's estimated to be ineffective against Jinchuriki in their Tailed Beast form. However, this guy seems to have an even stronger, upgraded version...

Thinking of this, Naruto flicked his tail, and red and blue colors bloomed at the tip, condensing into a huge Tailed Beast Ball.

"Damn it, what's with this chakra? Even Lord Wuwei's Heavenly Prison didn't work..."

"It's a Tailed Beast Ball..."

The man who had just attacked Naruto's expression changed drastically: "Damn it! This guy is a Jinchuriki! Cover me!"

"Protect Lord Wuwei!"

"Nisuchi!"

Several ninjas rushed forward and charged towards Naruto. Naruto released the Tailed Beast Ball, and with a flash, he made a move to rush out of the encirclement.

Suddenly, the figure that had just attacked him rushed out again, moving with incredible speed, and struck Naruto's chest with another palm strike.

"Fire Release: Great Fiery Prison!"

The moment his palm touched Naruto's chest, in the shimmering moonlight, Wuwei suddenly saw a playful smile on Naruto's handsome face behind his golden bangs.

This brat...did he deliberately let me hit him?!

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Naruto didn't fly backward this time. Instead, he nimbly flipped over and kicked Wuwei in the face. Wuwei instantly turned into a cannonball, flying backward with blood streaming down his face.

"Negative buff detected: Fire Release: Great Fire Prison! Effect: Chakra Imprisonment! Removed! Gain Fire Release: Great Fire Prison..."

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison!"

Bang!

Naruto's palm flashed red light as he raised his hand and slapped away the grass ninja rushing towards him from the side.

"That's... Lord Wuwei's prison?"

"You learned it just by looking at it once?"

"Don't be ridiculous! How could that be!"

Seeing the flames flickering in Naruto's palm, the Grass Ninja were filled with horror.

"There's no way we can win. This guy... he really is a monster!"

"Monster? How rude..."

Naruto chuckled and lightly patted his stomach: "Since you like calling people monsters so much, then I'll show you what a real monster is like..."

"One hit, Kurama!"
