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

Seeing Troy grip his shuriken tightly, Aburame Ryoma immediately roared.

Two of them immediately went to treat the unconscious Akimichi Tou, while three others stood tense on either side of Troy, on guard against him.

However, three other figures arrived in front of Aburame Ryoma and, without hesitation, simultaneously threw out their kunai.

"you……"

This scene instantly startled Ryoma Aburame, who widened his eyes in fear, never expecting that the Root ninja would disregard his orders.

The still-conscious ANBU ninja beside him looked at Aburame Ryoma with suspicion and instantly realized his true identity.

No wonder, no wonder there was that familiar, chilling aura. Is Aburame Ryoma really a Root ninja?

Realizing this, the Konoha members subconsciously assumed that the phrase "Don't make a move" was actually a code to lower Troy's guard and order the Root ninjas to "make a move."

"Root... no, it's Danzo! Danzo is still up to no good and wants to sabotage the negotiations and start a war between the two countries!" This thought suddenly popped into their minds.

It's no wonder they thought that way; as ninjas of the Anbu, they were all too familiar with the misdeeds and personality of that Ninja Darkness.

However, Ryoma Aburame himself knew perfectly well that he had not given any signal to make a move!

Beside him, Hinata Kumokawa's head was bowed, the shadow cast by the firelight on his face.

"Shameless Konoha ninja! You were definitely up to no good!"

Seeing the Konoha ninja throwing kunai at him, Troy's last remaining hesitation vanished, replaced by overwhelming rage that finally made him act.

hum!hum!

The moment he finished speaking, Troy hurled three enormous shuriken from his hand, which suddenly made several buzzing sounds!

The blades, gleaming with a cold light, were so sharp they tore through the rain-soaked night. Two of the giant shuriken not only blocked the kunai but also instantly sliced ​​the three Root ninjas in half at the waist.

And the last giant shuriken...

The two Root ninjas who were supporting Akimichi Tou felt a chill run down their spines. Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw several shuriken flying towards them from behind. Their hearts were enveloped by a chilling aura, and their bodies stiffened.

But the next moment, a figure appeared in front of them.

Eight Gates Formation - Second Gate - Rest Gate.

open!

Chapter 35 Yun Chuan, This Isn't Your Fault

"Bagua·Kongzhang!"

Facing the massive shuriken that sent a sharp whistling sound through the air, Hyuga Kumokawa channeled his chakra into his arm, curled his fingers, and thrust his hand forward. His clothes clung to his arm under the wind pressure, highlighting the taut muscles in his arms.

The compressed air pressure instantly poured towards the shuriken, like an invisible vacuum cannonball, and the sonic boom and air pressure explosion reached everyone's ears.

boom!

The massive, heavy shuriken carried immense force, causing Hyuga Kumokawa to stagger back several steps uncontrollably. The ground beneath his feet cracked and splintered, but he managed to withstand the shuriken's powerful impact.

"Eight Gates Formation, Second Gate, Rest Gate?"

Noticing the bulging veins on Hyuga Kumokawa's body, Aburame Ryoma instantly knew the technique Hyuga Kumokawa was using.

This kid, as a member of the Hyuga clan, actually went to learn the Eight Gates Formation, and even opened the second gate?

No wonder it could block Troy's attack, but that's not enough, that's the Magnet Release ninja Troy.

Those shuriken were specially made, and their weight was extremely terrifying. They could only be controlled by Magnet Release.

"Cough cough." Aburame Ryoma swallowed a pill, shouting a warning, "Don't touch his shuriken with your body!"

The other Root ninjas also made their move, but Troy wouldn't give them a chance to form hand seals. Faced with the force of the two giant shuriken, it was too difficult for the Root ninjas to defend themselves with their swords.

The giant shuriken that had been blocked and stopped in front of Hyuga Kumokawa suddenly began to spin again, creating a whistling wind like a meat grinder, as if the sharp teeth of a beast were tearing at Hyuga Kumokawa once more.

Buzz! Buzz!

Veins bulged around Hinata Kumokawa's eyes, and he activated his Byakugan without hesitation.

Within the time it takes to breathe, in the peripheral vision of everyone.

Hinata Kumokawa's figure seemed to transform into a blur, dodging as the explosions of shuriken colliding with his bare hands echoed continuously.

Troy looked at Hyuga Kumokawa in the distance, raised his hands to form hand seals and continuously manipulated shuriken, his eyes flashing after noticing those Byakugan eyes.

"Young man, are you from the main family or a branch family?" he suddenly asked.

This level of strength doesn't seem like that of the main family, yet they can use the Reversal Technique, a secret technique only the main family possesses.

But Hinata Kumokawa did not respond to him, and seemed to have no energy to respond to him.

puff!

Suddenly, a drop of blood splattered out and sprayed onto the ground.

Hinata Kumokawa's figure suddenly stopped, and a wound appeared at the corner of his eye.

Fresh blood slowly flowed from her cheeks, gathering at her chin, and gradually dripped onto her warm, moist feet.

Seeing this, Ryoma Aburame's face darkened, knowing that the boy couldn't hold on any longer.

According to intelligence, once you touch Troy's shuriken, the Magnet Release chakra attached to the shuriken will magnetize your body and mark you with Troy's mark, making it impossible to dodge any subsequent attacks containing magnetic force.

Ryoma Aburame was well aware of Troy's strength; possessing a bloodline limit, Troy was an extremely formidable opponent even among Jonin.

“If my internal organs hadn’t been severely damaged, I might have had a chance to coordinate with others to launch a sneak attack, but now…” Aburame Ryoma gritted his teeth.

His direct combat strength is not great; his strength lies in his infiltration and assassination abilities.

boom!

Using the force of the giant shuriken, Hyuga Kumokawa pulled back and came to Aburame Ryoma's side. His voice was hoarse and his tone was anxious as he said, "Ryoma-senpai, there are dozens of ninjas on their way from three kilometers away at ten o'clock!"

The direction at ten o'clock is not Konoha's; it's most likely a ninja from Kumogakure stationed on the border of the Land of Hot Springs!

"Wait a minute." Aburame Ryoma suddenly realized and blurted out, "Three kilometers? You can see a radius of three kilometers?"

Once members of the Hyuga clan activate their Byakugan, they can see things within a radius of one kilometer, but almost never beyond the two-kilometer limit.

If you're looking in a distant direction, this upper limit might increase several times over.

But Hinata Kumokawa clearly didn't just see one direction; he had to take in the entire area within a three-kilometer radius to make that discovery.

This is a bit scary.

"Senior! Now is not the time to talk about this!" Hinata Kumokawa said anxiously. "No matter what the explosive tags are all about, get Tou-senpai away quickly, or it will be too late!"

Ryoma Aburame, whose internal injuries had not yet healed, almost coughed up blood upon hearing these words.

The explosive tags have nothing to do with me!

Why does everyone think it was me who set it up?

Although Lord Danzo gave the order to take action, I haven't had a chance to do so yet!

"Hmph! You're not going to tell me?"

Ignoring Hyuga Kumokawa's disregard, Troy snorted coldly and said hatefully, "Then cut off your limbs before you ask!"

After saying that, he took out a scroll and flicked it forcefully, and two more giant shuriken appeared.

"Magnetic Release: Suzumebachi Twins..."

"Don't think about it!"

Just as Troy was about to throw the two shuriken, a violent voice suddenly entered his ears.

Akimichi Tou, who had been unconscious, woke up under the protection and medical care of the Anbu ninja. Upon seeing Hyuga Kumokawa standing in front of him, he did not hesitate to put a green pill and a yellow pill into his mouth.

The Akimichi clan's secret medicines include the "Green Spinach Pill," which can instantly unleash 30% of a person's athletic potential and increase their strength to more than three times their limit, and the "Yellow Curry Pill," which nourishes qi and blood.

The price to pay is the pain and helplessness that follows when the drug's effects wear off.

But that's enough for now.

"Multiply Technique: Super Push Hand!"

boom! !

A gigantic hand descended from the sky, crashing down towards Troy.

The ground cracked open with a deafening roar, collapsing like an avalanche. The entire land was shattered by an unimaginable, terrifying force, and several corpses, along with their blood and bones, were crushed into dust and squeezed into the soil.

"Troublesome guy."

Troy's figure appeared further away, his eyes somewhat gloomy. He had been forced to sever the connection with the shuriken and could only summon it back.

"Senior Doto!" Hinata Kumokawa looked up at Akimichi Doto, a look of joy immediately appearing on his face. "You..."

"Yun Chuan, listen to me."

Before he could finish speaking, Akimichi Tou interrupted him, saying in a deep voice, "This matter is most likely the work of Iwagakure. You and the others must immediately return to Konoha and inform the Third Hokage of everything!"

"Iwagakure?" Before Hyuga Kumokawa could speak, Aburame Ryoma's pupils shrank. "How could it be Iwagakure?"

Akimichi Tou glanced at him coldly, thinking to himself, "Does this have nothing to do with your Root organization?"

“Do you remember the group of Iwagakure rogue ninja we encountered on the road?” Akimichi Tou explained, “The scroll containing Hiashi’s body was likely replaced back then.”

"What?" Hinata Kumokawa froze for a moment, as if realizing something, his pale face turning even paler. "So, it was me..."

“This is not your fault.” Akimichi Tou looked at him with a complicated expression.

Akimichi Tou had witnessed everything: Hinata Kumokawa's selfless protection of him, as well as the strength and talent Hinata Kumokawa displayed.

When he realized that the explosive tag was placed in the coffin, his first reaction was naturally to suspect Hyuga Kumokawa, who was holding the scroll.

But he soon realized that detonating tags were very important strategic resources, not something that money could buy.

As for such a large quantity of explosive tags, even if Hyuga Kumokawa had that much money, let alone whether he did, he couldn't possibly buy them.

Even when he tries to buy them, the Dark Guard will arrive instantly to interrogate him about what he intends to do with so many explosive tags.

Therefore, the explosive tag couldn't have been placed by Hyuga Kumokawa, so the only possibility is that it was switched. This kid is just too inexperienced.

Such a promising young talent with excellent character should not be allowed to perish in a place like this.

"Let's go quickly," Akimichi Tōtō said in a deep voice.

"No, no, if we leave, senior..."

Hinata Kumokawa was about to say something when he heard a sharp whooshing sound.

"None of you will escape today!"

"go!"

Several giant shuriken flew in again, and Akimichi Toudou roared and slammed out a palm wrapped in chakra.

boom! !

The ground beneath their feet trembled again, and everyone could feel the muffled thunderous sound.

However, this time, it did not gradually subside as before.

Akimichi Tou's palm strike seemed to have shattered something, and the tremor beneath his feet became increasingly pronounced.

Buzz!

"What's going on?" Everyone's expression changed slightly.

The next moment, after the earth shook violently, came a deafening roar.

Bang!

Beneath their feet, the ground suddenly bulged up, revealing terrifying cracks hundreds of meters in diameter.

It felt as if an unseen monster was writhing underground, eager to break free of its confinement; its immense power could be felt even through the ground.

The heavy objects around us were shaken and floated in the air as if weightless.

Thud! Crack!

After a huge arc appeared on the ground, a deafening explosion resounded through the heavens and earth once again.

In an instant, everyone felt a sense of weightlessness, as if they were being shaken up.

No, it wasn't that they took off.

Instead, the ground beneath their feet collapsed.
