Chapter 163: The Real Immersion in the Naruto World!
The ice blade in Naruto's hand, along with all the ice thorns piercing Danzo's body, seemed to suddenly plunge into an illusory bubble.
Danzo's mangled, collapsing figure began to twist and fluctuate violently, like a reflection in water disturbed by a stone, becoming bizarre and utterly surreal.
Immediately following,
"Bang!"
A puff of white smoke, not particularly violent but exceptionally abrupt, exploded in the center of the room without warning.
The smoke spread rapidly, carrying a strange ripple of Chakra that felt as if time were flowing backward.
The smoke dissipated.
Naruto's pupils constricted slightly.
The spot where a cold corpse should have been was now empty.
A few steps away, an unscathed Danzo Shimura slowly stepped out from the lingering smoke.
The bandages on his right arm were still wrapped; clearly, his right hand had also recovered.
To Naruto's surprise, the right eye socket—which Naruto had just brutally gouged out and which had been bleeding incessantly—was now... perfectly intact!
His sinister left eye stared coldly at Naruto.
Even the blood-stained Hokages Ceremonial Robe on his body had returned to a pristine white.
This eerie scene caused even the prepared Naruto to feel a momentary shock.
Then, Naruto's eyes lit up. His right eye was fine again?
Holy crap, there's a bug like this?
Is this for real?
The real immersion of the Naruto world has arrived.
"You bastard, die!"
Danzo, having just revived through Izanagi, no longer had any intention of testing the waters or relying on luck; only an outpouring of rage and a lethal determination remained.
His left eye was bloodshot, locking onto Naruto, as his right arm suddenly thrust forward.
The pale arm, covered in crimson Sharingan, underwent a terrifying mutation under the frantic infusion of Chakra.
The skin on his arm rapidly lignified, darkening like old tree bark. His fingers twisted and extended, and the tips suddenly split and proliferated, turning into countless hideous, thick brown trunks with sharp wooden spikes, piercing toward Naruto with incredible speed and range.
Wood Release: Smashing Spear Tree!
Facing this overwhelming wooden tide emanating decay and killing intent, Naruto still stood his ground.
He didn't dodge; he simply raised his right hand.
Upon his palm, Chakra frantically gathered, compressed, and spun.
It was an extremely deep pitch-black, as if it could swallow all light.
The black Chakra sphere rotated at high speed, its volume expanding rapidly. Its edges pulled at a distorted force field, and even the surrounding light seemed to be drawn in and warped by it.
Rasenrigan!
"Go."
A single, nonchalant word.
The pitch-black Rasenrigan flew from his hand. It didn't seem fast, yet it carried an eerie weight that ignored spatial barriers, crashing straight into the oncoming wooden tide.
In the next instant, a terrifying collision occurred.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a more heart-stopping annihilation, as if all things were returning to nothingness.
The moment the Rasenrigan touched the first few giant trunks, the hard wood—strong enough to pierce rock and crush steel—acted like fragile withered branches meeting an invisible millstone. Without even a hint of resistance, it was completely shredded and decomposed by the pitch-black rotating force field in silence.
Like being thrown into a high-speed shredder, it turned into the finest wood dust, which was then completely swallowed and annihilated by the force field!
One, two, three... The Rasenrigan advanced with unstoppable force. Everywhere it passed, Danzo's terrifying "Smashing Spear Tree" vanished quickly, like pencil marks erased by an eraser.
Danzo's left eye widened in shock as he watched his strongest Wood Release attack prove so powerless against that eerie black sphere!
What kind of Ninjutsu was that?
Was it Rasengan?
But the Rasengan shouldn't be a technique that can be thrown.
However, Naruto's attack did not stop.
Just as the Rasenrigan flew out and shredded the wooden tide, he formed hand seals again.
Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!
Four Wood Clones, identical to him and also wearing black robes and fox masks, appeared instantly.
Including the previous Clone, the five Wood Clones moved without pause like five streaks of black lightning. From five different tricky angles, they avoided the path of the Rasenrigan's annihilation and the lingering storm of wood chips.
With incredible coordination and speed, they lunged boldly at Danzo.
Their goal was clear and unified.
They were determined to seize his newly grown right eye, obtained through the "reset" of Izanagi, once again.
If he couldn't be killed once, then they would kill him twice, three times!
If the eye was "refreshed," they would steal it again!
Until all your "revival coins" were exhausted and all your trump cards were plundered!
Danzo Shimura tore off the bandages on his right arm, then quickly formed seals and spat out a high-pressure wind sphere.
"Hmph, me avoid your edge? Wind Release: Sexy Sun Bro (Vacuum Great Sphere)!"
--------------------
Below, in the center of the Chunin Exams arena.
During the intense battle with Naruto's Shadow Clone, the Shukaku Chakra inside Gaara completely spiraled out of control due to excessive stimulation!
Yellow sand swirled wildly, letting out a non-human roar. Gaara's body began to twist and swell, half of it covered by dark red Shukaku Chakra filled with eerie patterns. His nails grew sharp and long, emitting a heart-stopping, violent aura.
He had entered the extremely dangerous Possessed Form!
At the highest point of the stands, in the VIP seating.
Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, took it all in.
A cold and excited glint flashed in his golden snake-like eyes.
Although it's a bit rushed... the time... has come.
No longer hiding, he shook his sleeve the moment the chaos began below and everyone's attention was drawn to the rampaging Gaara.
He silently threw a special smoke bomb.
"Bang!"
Dense grayish-white smoke erupted instantly, completely enveloping the small area where the two were.
Beside the Third Hokage, Raido Namiashi was struck in the abdomen by two Kunai and collapsed helplessly to the ground.
"Kazekage! You..."
The Third Hokage's face changed drastically as he shouted a stern question. Years of battle instinct allowed him to enter a state of alert instantly, retreating backward while preparing to form hand seals.
However, Orochimaru's movements were faster!
He was a master of sneak attacks and understood his former teacher deeply.
The moment the smoke filled the air, a cold glint broke through.
Orochimaru's figure approached like a ghost. His left hand, like a venomous snake's tongue, darted out with lightning speed, and a sharp Kunai was already held firmly against the Third Hokage's neck!
The cold blade pressed against his skin.
"Teacher, it's been a long time."
Orochimaru's hoarse, teasing voice rang in the Third Hokage's ear, using his original voice.
"Orochimaru... It's you!"
The Third Hokage's eyes were sharp as knives; beyond the shock was overwhelming anger and sorrow.
He understood everything in an instant.
This Joint Chunin Exams was itself a combined conspiracy between Orochimaru and the Hidden Sand Village!
The other side even brought the One tail Jinchuriki; it seems this was long-planned.
So, where is the real Fourth Kazekage?
Without waiting for the Third Hokage to break free or sound an alarm, Orochimaru exerted force.
"Up!"
Holding the Third Hokage hostage, he kicked off the ground. His body surged upward as if weightless, smashing through the covering of the VIP seats. Carrying the Third Hokage, he landed steadily on the high, towering main roof of the competition venue.
Exposing the two of them to everyone's view, they instantly became the focus of the entire arena!
At almost the same moment—
Throughout the venue, as if a pre-programmed sequence had been triggered, countless pure white, light feathers appeared out of air, fluttering down from the sky and covering the entire audience area.
Demonic Illusion: Temple of Nirvana Technique.
This is an A-rank wide-range hypnotic Genjutsu.
The feathers landed on the heads and shoulders of defenseless civilian spectators and even some Genin and Chunin. The light in their eyes quickly dimmed, their consciousness feeling as if soaked in warm water. They grew drowsy and collapsed one after another, falling into a deep sleep.
In an instant, the noisy venue became deathly silent, with only a few powerful or quick-reacting Ninja remaining awake.
