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

“Binding Spell Number Thirty-Nine: Round Gate,” he said.

hum!

With a strange buzzing sound, just as the dark red flames were about to engulf the 'shadow'.

A semi-transparent, perfectly circular shield instantly unfolded in front of 'Shadow'.

Boom! !

Chapter 366 Is this ninjutsu?

Boom! !

The raging fire dragon, amplified by the cycle of reincarnation, crashed solidly into the "round gate".

The deafening explosion echoed throughout the second floor, and scorching flames and shockwaves raged wildly in all directions, like a small firestorm.

However, when the intense light and flames of the explosion subsided, Jiraiya's expression changed slightly.

The seemingly thin shield remained motionless, its radiance flowing, though it was covered with fine cracks.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that?" Jiraiya stared intently at the semi-transparent shield.

No.

That's not ninjutsu.

Natural energy? Chakra?

Feeling the gathering natural energy, Jiraiya was completely stunned.

Using chakra to drive the natural energy of the outside world to build a defense?

How is that even possible??

"Oh."

Just then, Kisame Hoshigaki, carrying Samehada, slowly walked in through the entrance.

He first glanced meaningfully at Nagato in the distance, then looked at Jiraiya with a solemn expression, feeling the astonishing heat lingering in the air, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth.

Following Jiraiya's gaze, he looked at the nine remaining scrolls on the stone statue's fingers and the 'shadow' standing on them, and laughed, "Looks like that guy got there first."

As he spoke, Tsuchida, Kakashi Hatake, Hirotsuchi, Akatsuchi, Yagura Karatachi, Hanzo, and others entered one after another. They tacitly refrained from attacking each other and instead dispersed.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the "round gate" in front of 'Shadow' shattered, turning into specks of light in the air and dissipating, revealing 'Shadow' behind it, perfectly intact.

"It seems that this is the best we can do with the simplified incantation of the thirty-ninth binding spell."

'Shadow's' gaze swept over the menacing crowd below, and he chuckled lightly: "Fear, has it temporarily united you mortal enemies?"

“Shadow!” Iwagakure’s yellow earth stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “Hand over what you’ve obtained. The things here don’t belong to you!”

"Not mine?"

As if he had heard an amusing joke, 'Shadow' couldn't help but chuckle: "You were able to get here by temporarily setting aside your greed and murderous intent, passing through the Healers."

"Now, are you planning to pick up what you just barely managed to suppress again, exactly as it was?"

He didn't finish his words.

"Do it!"

Someone gave a low shout, and everyone's eyes sharpened as they attacked almost simultaneously.

The Chunin gripped their ninja tools and charged towards the stone statue, while the others rapidly formed hand seals, their chakra surging within them...

However, at this critical moment.

"Ten directions are bounded, a hundred steps is a fence. Light is the pillar, shadow is the lock, crisscrossing."

The Shadow chanted a low, ancient incantation, each syllable carrying a strange rhythm: "This is an insurmountable corridor, imprisoning the souls of those who act rashly within its confines."

The moment the chanting ended, he softly uttered the name of the spell:

"Binding Path No. 62: Hundred-Step Balustrade".

hum!

A heavy, invisible pressure suddenly spread out from him!

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of illusory pillars of light, each taller than a person, appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

At a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, it plummeted vertically towards all the ninjas below who were forming hand seals or preparing to charge.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

These beams of light were not physical objects and carried no physical impact whatsoever. They simply passed through each person's body, like phantoms passing through real objects, without causing any wounds or pain.

but……

The moment the beam of light "pierced" their bodies, all the ninjas hit by it froze instantly!

The chakra that was originally flowing smoothly seemed to sink into a quagmire, suddenly becoming stagnant and chaotic. The hand seals that were being formed were forced to stop, and the ninjutsu that had already taken shape instantly collapsed.

Their limbs seemed to be bound by invisible chains. Although they were fully conscious, they could only stiffly maintain the posture they had when they were "pierced" by the beam of light.

Jiraiya's hands, which were forming hand seals, froze in front of him. The water blade unleashed by Yagura Karatachi quietly dissipated, and the momentum of the Chunin's advance was abruptly halted...

"What is this?!" The expressions on everyone's faces were a mixture of shock and anger, completely bewildered.

Sealing technique?

but why?

That guy didn't make any hand seals or any other movements; he just chanted some incomprehensible syllables. Why is that...?

"With your strength, I can only limit you for a few seconds."

'Shadow' glanced down at the faces below, filled with shock and anger yet unable to speak, and smiled, "But that's enough."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his arm with a smile, palm facing forward, and the melody he uttered seemed to pierce through skulls, echoing deep in everyone's minds.

"The ruler, a mask of flesh and blood, all things, soaring high, bearing the name of humanity..."

"Truth and temperance stand only as claws on the walls of a dream, unknowing of sin..."

As he chanted, an increasingly intense burning aura filled the air, and the blazing flames rapidly gathered and compressed in front of his palm, transforming into a perfect crimson ring.

The terrifying heat emanating from the ring caused the surrounding air to distort violently, yet it still couldn't illuminate the deep shadow beneath the hood.

"Damn it!" Jiraiya's pupils contracted sharply. Despite being restrained, his battle-hardened intuition was frantically warning him.

This attack was not a defense or restraint like before, but rather...

"Hado, Chapter Thirty-Three".

As if issuing an imperial edict, 'Shadow's' indifferent voice rang out: "Azure Fire Falls."

Click!

A crisp sound, like glass being crushed, rang out in the air.

But it wasn't the glass that shattered; it was the flame compressed to its critical point.

In the next instant, the "sun" in front of the "shadow" shattered.

The flames, accumulated to their limit, burst forth like a flood, transforming into a surging, crimson tide that roared and surged towards the imprisoned crowd ahead!

The Akatsuki members and the members of the five great ninja villages felt an overwhelming heatwave, like a tangible fire hand, choking them. A sense of suffocation and destruction washed over them!

Faced with the surging flames, the fear on the faces of the Chunin at the forefront was clearly visible before they were completely engulfed by the flames.

The shadowy figure, barely visible, struggled desperately in the flames before turning to ashes.

Just as the fire was about to engulf Jiraiya, Nagato, and the others behind them.

Click!

The light and shadow barrier that had been binding Nagato was forcibly shattered, and he raised his hand without hesitation in the face of the surging fire.

Shinra Tianzheng!

On the other side, Hanzo, who now possesses some of the power of Otsutsuki Isshiki, also broke free from his restraints almost simultaneously, raising his arm with the 'wedge' in his palm aimed at the fire tide.

Only two Akatsuki members entered the second level, so they naturally only protected themselves and had no intention of helping others.

"Damn it! It's too late!" Jiraiya had barely managed to break free of his restraints, but the scorching flames were already upon him, leaving him no time to use any ninjutsu.

The next moment, reflected in Jiraiya's contracting pupils, amidst a crimson glow, a small figure stood blocking the path of the five great ninja villages...

boom! !

A deafening explosion, accompanied by a scorching shockwave, swept across the entire second level of the underground palace, causing 'Shadow's' black robe to flutter wildly in the surging heat.

(See what the author says)

【Hado No. 33: Blue Fire Drop】was originally in Bleach. 【Bakudo No. 39: Round Gate】was only in name and effect in Bleach, without any incantation. I added a part myself.

The same goes for 【Binding Spell #62: Hundred-Step Railing】. I wrote the incantation myself. If I feel it's good, I'll create more original demonic spells in the future. That's all for now QAQ

Chapter 367 Kisame, You Become the Jinchūriki

boom! !

The terrifying explosion and intense heat instantly engulfed everything, and the entire underground palace trembled.

Jiraiya, Huangtu, and the others in the front row felt an irresistible force slam into their chests, and their bodies were instantly lifted into the air.

Like being hit head-on by a giant elephant running at high speed, it was completely out of control, tumbling and flying backward in the air!

Bang! Click!

A series of heavy impacts and teeth-grinding cracking sounds rang out.

Their bodies slammed hard against the solid rock wall dozens of meters away before collapsing to the ground, where intense pain surged through their bodies, as if their bones had shattered.

A sharp buzzing sound kept ringing in my ears, and a burning sensation spread across my skin.

"cough!"

Kakashi coughed up blood, and the crackling sound of flames seemed to come from a very distant underwater place, indistinct and unclear.

Soon, a strong tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and he felt a throbbing pain in his head. His senses were gradually returning.

Immediately afterwards, thick black smoke, a pungent sulfur smell, and an indescribable, strange odor, like burnt pork, flooded his nostrils.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Kakashi coughed uncontrollably as his respiratory tract was scalded by the hot air he inhaled. He struggled to lift his head and focus his gaze on the center of the explosion.

"Woo..."

Before them, where they had been standing, lay a colossal beast, as large as a mountain, groaning in pain.

It was Isobu, the Three-Tailed Beast, in its complete tailed beast form!

However, at this moment, the Three-Tails looked extremely miserable.

The massive head, lacking the protection of a thick carapace, bore the brunt of the impact head-on.

The dark gray, hard keratin that originally covered the skin was now charred, cracked, and even melted over a large area, revealing the charred flesh underneath.

Wisps of smoke rose from the gruesome wounds, and the pervasive smell of burnt flesh in the air originated from them.

Directly in front of the Three-Tails, the area that had been engulfed by flames was now completely empty.

No, it's not empty, but rather...

It turned into a patch of scorched earth with a diameter of over 100 meters, and its surface was still radiating an astonishing residual heat.

Scattered on the scorched earth were several completely carbonized, twisted, pitch-black skeletons.

Clearly, the dozen or so Chunin who charged at the forefront had been instantly vaporized in the firestorm, or turned into several silent, terrifying remains on this scorched earth.

Yagura and Mitsuki, with their massive bodies, took the fatal blow for most of the people behind them, thus saving their lives.

However, the three tails were already exhaling more and inhaling less.

In order to test the maximum power of his "Hado" technique, 'Kage' held nothing back. If the Three-Tails had retracted into its shell to block it, it might have been fine, but there was no time for that.

This blow, you could say, hit him squarely on the head.
