Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

"Ugh!"

"you……"

Hesitation costs you your life.

The battle was almost entirely a one-sided massacre.

Screams rose and fell, despair filled the air, and blood stained the ground.

The Konoha ninjas, whether it was the first wave that besieged "Evil Eye" or the reinforcements that came later, were like moths caught in a spider web, quickly withering away in the infighting.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also surrounded. Three Konoha Jonin, who were being controlled, launched a frenzied attack on him with tears in their eyes.

Their eyes were filled with pain and struggle, but their physical attacks were ruthless and precise!

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Wind Release·Vacuum Wave!"

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

A massive fireball hurtled in, blocked by several sharp wind blades, and the earthen walls restricted movement!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was ashen, his eyes burning with fury.

He could certainly kill all three instantly, but all three were Jonin he had personally promoted and who had served in the Anbu. Losing any one of them would be unacceptable.

We mustn't kill them!

Absolutely not!

"hateful!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared angrily, disregarding the depletion of his chakra, and formed hand seals, creating a shadow clone that appeared beside him.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

boom! !

The fireball slammed into the towering stone wall, turning into waves of flame that split off on both sides, and they lost sight of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Earth escape: the art of beheading in the heart!

The next moment, a pair of hands suddenly appeared at the feet of one of the Jonin, completely outside the blind spot of the three Jonin.

However, before the Jonin could even realize it, his body had already reacted uncontrollably, raising his hands to form hand seals, concentrating chakra in his palms, and slamming them onto the ground.

Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm!

Kaka!

At this moment, his legs had been pulled into the ground, but under the effect of "Earth Release: Earth Split Palm", the originally softened ground hardened in an instant.

"Ugh!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clone exploded underground, and the Jonin's legs were crushed by the hardened soil, letting out a shrill and painful scream.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had already appeared beside the other two, became even angrier upon seeing this scene, but still managed to throw out his Vajra Staff and quickly raise his hand to form a hand seal.

"King Kong prison wall!"

It split into dozens of Vajra Ruyi Cudgels, which bound and imprisoned one of the Jonin.

At the same time, he suddenly retreated, narrowly avoiding a wind blade that came from afar, and appeared like a ghost behind the last Jonin, reaching out his hand and whispering, "Four Limbs Heavy Seal!"

The Jonin's body stiffened instantly, his limbs went numb, and he collapsed to the ground, temporarily losing the ability to move.

Within a few breaths, Hiruzen Sarutobi, relying on his extensive experience and ninjutsu reserves, temporarily subdued the three manipulated Jonin using non-lethal methods.

However, this kind of battle, where one is restricted and unable to exert full strength, consumes more chakra than when facing a real enemy.

He was already old, and he had exhausted his strength when facing the 'fierce eyes' before. Now he was just barely holding on to his spirit to fight the enemy.

Sensing that his chakra was almost completely depleted, Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Hyuga Kumokawa.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Kumokawa, though not being controlled, was still enjoying the same treatment of facing several Jonin.

Moreover, whenever Hyuga Kumokawa tried to use Wind Release ninjutsu to cut the threads controlling the Konoha ninjas or attack the 'Puppet Master,' several people would rush out to block his way and force him to stop.

Several corpses were already lying around Hyuga Kumokawa. From the pained expression on Hyuga Kumokawa's face, Hiruzen Sarutobi could tell that those were people he had killed because he hadn't stopped in time!

This is essentially using the lives of other companions to make the kind-hearted Hinata Kumokawa hesitate to act!

This forced him to abandon his most proficient Wind Release ninjutsu and instead use Gentle Fist and Lightning Release ninjutsu, which he was less skilled in, to dodge and maneuver.

"asshole!!"

Upon witnessing this cruel scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi was so enraged that his chest heaved and he was practically fuming. He couldn't help but let out a furious curse.

At the same time, five more Konoha ninjas, who were being controlled, let out almost desperate and painful roars as they lunged at him like mad dogs!

Cutting those threads would only temporarily break them out of control, and illusions were ineffective; their bodies were being manipulated, not their minds, so only sealing techniques could be used…

Destroying the flying 'Puppet Master' will stop it immediately.

But the other two monsters, named 'Vortex' and 'White Fang', were standing right in front of the 'Puppet Master'!

This can't go on!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze piercing through the chaotic battlefield before him, fixed on the dark figure standing before the 'fierce eye,' indifferently watching everything unfold.

A surge of rage and a sense of powerless humiliation erupted within him like a volcano.

"you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's roar drowned out the clamor, his voice trembling and hoarse with rage as he shouted, "Who are you people? Why are you doing this to Konoha?!"

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's question, the 'Kage' slowly turned around, his face, shrouded in shadow beneath his hood, slightly raised, his hoarse voice tinged with laughter: "The Third Hokage is truly forgetful."

"I think you must have already heard about our deeds."

His tone was clearly smiling, but there was no mockery or anger in his voice, only a pure indifference that was chilling.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitched with rage as he dealt with the attacks of the Konoha ninja while his words kept replaying in his mind.

This power and speed are completely unlike anything a human could possess, along with this bizarre ability that has never been seen or heard of before…

It had never existed in the ninja world before, and it didn't even seem like something a ninja could use...

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze suddenly stopped, and he looked sharply at one of the three figures, at the 'whirlpool' with red hair and female features!

“Uzumaki…” His heart pounded violently at the unbelievable guess in his mind, and his voice was hoarse as he said, “Kusagakure, Kusagakure was destroyed by you!”

"That 'whirlpool'... is it the Uzumaki clan member hiding in Kusagakure, the 'vengeful spirit' that destroyed Kusagakure?!"

How could this be? How could this happen!

So the so-called "vengeful spirits" actually exist, and are not some kind of "secret technique" as previously speculated?

In other words, the monster born from Uchiha Fugaku's body in Shisui-gumi, the monster named 'Evil Eye', is also a 'vengeful spirit'?

"No, no, they are called 'Void,' they come from the 'Void Realm,' they are not so-called 'vengeful spirits.'"

"Furthermore, please do not reverse cause and effect. The 'Vortex' was born from the pain that the Hidden Grass Village brought her in her previous life, and the destruction of the Hidden Grass Village by it was merely the result of a cause."

'Shadow' gently shook his head, correcting Hiruzen Sarutobi's mistake. He then looked at the devastated Uchiha clan territory, where blood flowed like a river, and laughed, "By the same token, this is what you deserve."

"The blood and tears of the Uchiha clan have been shed to the last drop. Now, you can no longer use the so-called Will of Fire to restrain the 'power' of the Uchiha."

As soon as he finished speaking, 'Fierce Eyes' slowly stood up behind him, standing like the shadow of 'Shadow'.

The chilling aura filled with hatred and anger caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils to shrink as he faced it.

Was the Hollow, this monster, also born from the souls and resentment of Fugaku Uchiha and other Uchiha clan members after their deaths?

Chapter 182 Death and I, to you, mean the same thing.

"how is this possible?"

Am I under an illusion?

"What are they doing?"

Several more groups of Konoha ninja arrived, but upon seeing the scene before them, they all froze in place, their expressions blank.

Screams, wails, the clang of metal on metal, the explosions of ninjutsu... all intertwined to create a desperate and chaotic symphony of death.

However, what terrified them most was that the voices did not come from the enemy, but from their former comrades.

Watching his comrades tearfully fight each other, and the Konoha ninjas who came to reinforce them, it was as if he were witnessing the most absurd drama he had ever seen in his life.

However, seeing that the number of Konoha ninjas had exceeded the limit that the 'Puppet Master' could currently control, the 'Kage' sighed and said, "It seems it's time to end this."

Upon hearing these words, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine.

"Who exactly are you?" he asked, his face ashen.

“I have no name. If you insist on a title, I don’t mind if you call me ‘Shadow,’ or you can consider me ‘Death.’”

The black robes around 'Shadow' billowed without wind, and his figure gradually rose into the air. The red sun above shone on him, casting a deep shadow on the ground.

"After all, death and I mean the same thing to you."

He looked down at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, and said softly, "Perhaps, death is more merciful."

After saying that, he raised his hand, and in that hand, he had somehow already lifted something up.

It was a strangely shaped box that exuded an ominous aura. Its surface was covered with twisted and intricate dark red patterns, and each of its six sides—top, bottom, left, right, front, and back—had a distorted face.

Joy, sadness, anger, fear, hatred, and pain.

Indeed, the completely renovated 'Box of Elysium' is now known as 'Lexusiai'!

【Ding! 】

[Your lie [In the Virtual Realm] has been judged as [Entering the Game Personally], [Making a Fake Become Real], [Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun], and [Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea]. Hiruzen Sarutobi and others experienced strong emotional fluctuations, reaching the level of [Deep Belief], and you have gained 20000 Truth Points.]

[Commentary: Using lies to gild the barren and uninteresting reality, allowing kneeling believers to enter heaven in the afterlife.]

[Remaining realization points: 62627]

"The day the virtual world returns to the world..."

"I have waited too long for this day."

A deep, husky voice rang out. It wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through all the noise, reaching into everyone's ears and straight to the depths of their souls.

“From this day forward,” he said, “all things that have passed away will return to their rightful place.”

As soon as he finished speaking, 'Shadow' raised the hand holding the Box of Bliss upwards.

Manifestation transforms the alternate dimension connected by the 'Space-Time Cave' into a 'Virtual Realm'!

Manifestation connects the 'Box of Bliss' to the 'Virtual Realm' and uses it as the core!

Manifestation, implanting all the rules of the 'Virtual World' into the 'Ninja World'!

[Will the 50000 Realization Points spent materialize?]

Gazing upon the power capable of distorting the rules of the world, the face shrouded in shadow remained calm as he thought, "Manifestation!"

[Deduct 50000 Realization Points]

[Remaining realization points: 12627]

hum! !

In an instant, a grand hum that seemed to come from the entire world resounded.

The 'Box of Elysium' held in 'Shadow''s' hand opened, and a jet-black beam of light shot into the sky from the box!

boom! !

The black beam of light, with an immeasurable diameter, was like a waterfall flowing backwards, instantly tearing through the smoke and dark clouds in the air and piercing straight into the sky!

The sky above Konoha, which had been bathed in the red glow of dawn, was instantly engulfed by darkness.

The darkness did not stop; it spread in all directions from Konoha as its center!

Wherever the darkness passed, the sky was dyed into a pure, deathly, and bottomless black. The newly risen dawn was gradually eroded in the face of this seemingly boundless darkness!

Darkness spread across the entire Land of Fire at an unimaginable speed!

It spread wildly across the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Water, and the entire sky of the ninja world!

One second ago, people all over the ninja world were watching the dawn and the sunset on the horizon.
