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

“Lord Troy,” a Cloud Village ninja appeared behind him in an instant and said, “nothing unusual has been found; it should just be a normal earthquake.”

Boom!

Thunderstorm struck overhead at that moment, and branching lightning filled the night sky with a pale light.

"A normal earthquake..."

Troy murmured and looked up as large raindrops were hurled by the wind. Thick, dark clouds loomed overhead, obscuring the moonlight, with only flashes of lightning like white pythons illuminating the gaps in the clouds.

For some reason, he felt a tightness and unease in his chest, as if it were a sign that some disaster was about to happen, as if dark clouds were pressing down on them from above.

He always trusted his intuition, and since he already distrusted Konoha, he became even more vigilant.

However, as the agreed time drew closer, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Just as Troy was lost in thought, the Cloud Village ninja beside him suddenly looked up and said in a deep voice, "They're here!"

In the distance, a dozen figures dressed in black raincoats could be seen wading across the water, speeding toward them.

Troy put his hand in his mouth and whistled loudly. Upon hearing the same sound coming from afar, he immediately recognized the person.

A moment later, the Cloud Village members standing on the port shore saw the Konoha members led by Akimichi Tou, using the warm yellow light shining from behind them.

"Sorry, the weather wasn't very good, I'm late..."

Akimichi Tou glanced at the Cloud Village group, scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, and said apologetically.

"Come in and make the deal."

But before he could finish speaking, Troy interrupted him, silencing him completely.

After saying that, Troy and the Cloud Village ninja turned around and walked into the hot spring inn behind them.

"Are you that impatient?"

As Akimichi Tou spoke, he gave Hinata Kumokawa a wink behind him before leading the group to quickly catch up and enter the inn.

This inn is backed by the Hidden Cloud Village, and its lobby is large enough to accommodate more than thirty people from both the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha Village.

The Konoha members glanced at Hyuga Kumokawa in the group, seemingly casually, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him nod imperceptibly.

"The weather is terrible tonight."

Troy suddenly stopped, turned to look at Akimichi Tou, and said in a cold tone.

"..." Understanding what he meant, Akimichi Touya decisively took a step back and shrugged. "Alright, alright, let's get this over with quickly."

A biting dog does not bark.

Since the other party has shown such a tough attitude from the start, it's not too late to show our weapons when things really come to a head.

The moment he saw Troy's face, he recognized him.

Troy, a Jonin from Kumogakure, is skilled in using the Kekkei Genkai Magnet Release.

The Fourth Raikage actually sent him here. Did he discover something unusual?

"If a fight breaks out, I don't know if I can protect that Hyuga kid." Akimichi Tou sighed inwardly, "The Third Hokage really gave me a troublesome task."

"Where is the stuff?" Troy asked bluntly.

Akimichi Touto tilted his head slightly, and Hinata Kumokawa stepped forward from behind him, giving Troy a cold glance before taking out a scroll from his pocket.

boom!

A dark brown coffin appeared before them, its deathly stillness accentuated by the warm yellow chandelier, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more chilling.

"Sure enough."

Seeing this, Troy frowned, but said nothing.

On his way here, he had already received a message from the village, knowing that the daimyo had misrepresented the information, so it was not surprising that Konoha had seized on his slip of the tongue and handed over a "corpse".

However, as long as the corpse is Hyuga Hiashi, it still has great value.

"Step back," Troy said coldly. "We need to 'inspect the goods.'"

The comparison of "corpses" to "cargo" seemed to have stirred something in Hyuga Kumokawa, who looked at Troy with a hint of anger in his eyes.

But just as he was about to say something, Akimichi Touichi raised his hand to stop him and stepped back to give Troy some space.

Troy walked to the coffin, drew a strangely shaped shuriken from his sleeve, and cut it along the seal of the coffin lid.

Click.

The moment the coffin was opened, the black night sky was suddenly dyed a fiery white by lightning. The dazzling lightning cast the shadows of everyone in the hall onto the ground, stretching them long and ghostly.

"..."

Behind Akimichi Tou, Aburame Ryoma stared intently at the expression on Troy's face, but unexpectedly, an unseen look appeared on his face.

Anger, horror, and fear were mixed on his face.

Why is this the reaction?

A sudden doubt arose in Aburame Ryoma's mind, just as he saw Troy abruptly raise his head, his mouth agape in shock and anger.

Boom!

The thunder followed the lightning.

"Retreat!" Troy's angry roar was drowned out.

Akimichi Toshi, who was closest, heard the unusually familiar "sizzling" sound of something being lit, and his pupils contracted sharply in an instant.

Explosive tag?

How can it be? !

The next moment, before anyone could react, a deafening roar, far more terrifying than thunder, engulfed the heavens and the earth!

A burst of intense white light erupted before their eyes, engulfing them head-on!

boom! !

Chapter 34 must be Danzo trying to sabotage the negotiations!

In the rain, a visible bubble rapidly expands, its surface covered with a rough, needle-like mist of water.

The eyes of the Konoha and Kumogakure members reflected the blinding flames, like a fountain of fire and light gushing forth.

Just before the flames erupted and engulfed the people of Konoha, Akimichi Tou turned around, turning his broad body away from the impact of the explosion.

"The art of doubling!"

Akimichi Tou, amidst the explosions, let out a resolute roar.

At the same time, two other voices suddenly rang out.

"Psychic art!"

"Back to the days!"

boom! !

It was like a small sun suddenly exploding in front of everyone; the light and roar at close range blinded and deafened everyone.

In the silence, a torrent of heat rushed toward them, and the impact of the explosion shattered all the glass in an instant.

Broken wood and stones flew in all directions, accompanied by a constant shriek. If a person stood in front of them, they would be easily pierced through as if through paper.

However, the Konoha members were instantly thrown into the air, as if they had been hit head-on by a giant elephant running at high speed, and tumbled backward in mid-air.

He was thrown out of the hotel and crashed into various places.

Kaka! Click!

Their bodies emitted a sharp, teeth-grinding cracking sound as the bones snapped. The Konoha members were overcome with intense pain, collapsing to the ground in agony, feeling only tinnitus and dizziness.

The explosion happened suddenly and quickly. About ten seconds later, the black smoke slowly settled, and the shock gradually subsided.

"puff!"

Ryoma Aburame, who had been smashed to the ground, coughed up blood and clutched his chest, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted.

After a while, my vision, which had gone from black to white, began to recover somewhat. The image gradually appeared from the countless specks of snowflakes. The first color I saw was orange, the light of fire, the afterglow of flames that filled my vision.

The sharp ringing in my ears began to return, and I heard the crackling of burning and groans.

"Cough cough! What exactly is going on?"

Thick black smoke filled his nostrils, and with a cough, Aburame Ryoma struggled to his feet, looking towards the collapsed hotel in the distance, where he saw the charred corpse of the giant insect.

That was his summoned beast.

If he hadn't remained vigilant and reacted in time, instinctively using his psychic abilities, he would likely be crippled or dead at the same close distance.

Moreover, there were two people even closer to him.

Kaka!

A black arm reached out from the ruins, then suddenly lifted up a large number of bricks and crawled out from under the rubble.

It is Akimichi-do Higashi, which is closest to the explosion site.

Having used the Expansion Technique, he withstood the strongest impact and blocked the power of the explosion.

If he hadn't been in front, the others wouldn't have just been thrown into the air, but would have faced the full force of the explosion.

Bang!

His crawling out of the rubble seemed to have exhausted his remaining strength; his gradually shrinking body collapsed forward to the ground, the skin on his back covered with charred and swollen burns.

However, being a member of the Akimichi clan known for their physical techniques, they did not die immediately from the explosion, even though they were at close range. They were only seriously injured and fell into a coma due to the impact on their internal organs and brain.

In contrast, the Cloud Village members standing inside the inn were not as lucky.

Black smoke and white mist filled the hotel like a curtain, and the heat wave distorted the air, obscuring the vision of all the Konoha ninjas.

But soon, a figure was seen flying out of the thick black smoke, crashing next to Aburame Ryoma with a painful groan.

Upon seeing the face of the person beside him, Aburame Ryoma's eyes widened in shock.

"Hyuga Kumikawa?!"

How is that possible? This guy was so close, how could he still survive?

He was merely covered in dust and blood, with cracks in his exposed skin, suggesting that many capillaries had been ruptured, but there were no signs of severe burns.

There was a bloodstain in front of him that tore through his clothes and crossed his chest diagonally. It didn't look like it was cut by a piece of gravel, but rather like it was cut by a sharp object.

"you……"

Seeing Hyuga Kumokawa, who was in pain and unable to get up for a long time, Aburame Ryoma suddenly remembered the low shout that came when the explosion rang out.

The technique "Return to Heaven" releases a large amount of chakra from the body's chakra points the instant it is attacked, and then spins in a circular motion like a top, which can deflect all physical attacks.

Hyuga Kumokawa, an unimportant member of the branch family, actually learned a secret technique passed down by the main Hyuga clan.

"Cough cough!"

Two gruesome gashes marred Hyuga Kumokawa's face. Suddenly, he grabbed Aburame Ryoma's arm and said hoarsely, "Ryoma-senpai, quickly take Doto-senpai away! That guy from Kumogakure hasn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hoarse, ferocious, and terrifying roar entered his ears, interrupting him.

"Damn you! I'm going to kill you all!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure followed closely behind, bursting out instantly through the thick smoke.

The shadowy figure was completely unrecognizable from its appearance; it looked like a charred corpse, still emitting black smoke and even emitting a meaty aroma.

But he is still alive, even though he is living in immense pain, suffering severe burns all over his body, and in so much pain that he is almost driven mad.

The reason was that the iron filings that were dripping down his body blocked most of the impact but failed to prevent the burns.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Aburame Ryoma instantly realized something was wrong. He was still unable to move due to his internal injuries, so he quickly shouted, "Calm down! We didn't do it, but we were affected too. Someone is deliberately provoking us!"

Upon hearing this, Troy, who had been about to attack in anger, paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the Konoha members who had also lost their fighting ability.

But just a second before he could calm down, eight dark figures suddenly appeared from all around him.

They were Root ninjas who had followed Aburame Ryoma and were hiding in the shadows.

"Don't do it!"
