Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

Any creature that gets close will be reduced to dust!

In an instant, blood splattered, and countless snake remains flew out, filling the vast ruins after the explosion in just a few breaths.

The scene, which depicted violence and bloodshed to the extreme, made Ziyuan and the others watching from afar shudder with fear.

As the last wave of snakes was shredded into mincemeat, Feng Qi stopped his high-speed spinning and calmly looked at Orochimaru, whose mouth was twitching.

The area several meters around him was spotless, with the faint outlines of the Yin-Yang and Bagua symbols visible on the ground.

Outside this "pure land," there was a mountain of snake remains!

The stark contrast between the pristine environment and the blood-soaked landscape created a jarring, almost unreal visual impact, constantly reshaping Shion and the others' understanding of "ninjas."

hum!

The sudden burst of firefly flames scorched a narrow path in front of the snake pile.

Feng Qi strode forward, his gray robe fluttering slowly, walking through the flames without being affected at all.

"Just give up, Orochimaru. You have no chance of defeating me now." He slowly walked towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was extremely vigilant, quickly retreating and maintaining a safe distance from Feng Qi by staying at the edge of the array. He said coldly, "Heh, to make such a declaration of victory before the battle is even over is a bit too arrogant, isn't it?"

He had already figured out the crucial information that Hyuga Fuuki's abilities were limited by range. With the opportunity to seize the Eight Trigrams Byakugan so close at hand, how could he possibly give it up so easily?

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi shook his head and sighed softly.

Although there is no way to completely eliminate this invincible snake at present, if Orochimaru insists on courting death, then he, who has been planning this in advance, has no choice but to grant his wish and kill him once!

"Take this, Hyuga Kazeki! What follows is the final move that will decide the outcome!"

Orochimaru glanced at his feet to make sure he wasn't within the range of the Bagua formation, then channeled his remaining chakra into the Kusanagi sword in his hand.

Whoosh!

The Kusanagi sword extended at an extremely fast speed, breaking through the vast distance in the blink of an eye and arriving in front of Feng Qi.

Feng Qi reacted quickly, making an evasive maneuver in time, and lightly leaped away from the longsword's penetration.

However, the moment he landed again, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a water dragon rushed out from it without warning, turning into a water prison that trapped him firmly!

"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 56 The End

The water flowed slowly, condensing into Orochimaru's water clones to maintain the stable output of the Water Prison Technique.

The constantly released binding power firmly restricted Feng Qi's ability to move.

Consequently, his breathing was severely obstructed, his expression contorted, revealing the pain and discomfort of suffocation.

The Feng Hou Qi Men formation diagram covering the surrounding area dimmed at a visible speed, turning into countless points of light and disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Orochimaru, who was standing some distance away, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

'Just as I suspected, Hyuga Fuuki is unable to control the ninjutsu released outside of the Bagua pattern.'

This is the most fatal, and only, weakness of the gossip-loving eye roll!

With the threat gone, Orochimaru grew bolder and took small steps toward Fuki, who was trapped in the water prison.

"Hyuga Fuuki, I investigated you before you came. You've been hiding in a peaceful and stable village for many years. Even if you have great power, you can't play a real role without rich combat experience."

Orochimaru's voice trembled as he clenched his fist excitedly, "Only I can make those eyes reach their full potential!"

Even so, he was still a veteran ninja, and he was not so complacent as to let his guard down. He stopped a few meters away from Feng Qi.

Unfortunately, this safe distance was not enough for him to re-enter the realm of Feng Hou Qi Men.

In reality, it's already a tangible illusion.

Feng Qi, "trapped" in the water dungeon, did not speak, but slowly raised a finger in response.

hum!

Blue light burst forth, outlining the Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, and the Eight Trigrams. The Feng Hou Qi Men Formation, which should have dissipated, reappeared!

"The character 'Kan' signifies a fierce cannon amidst water and light."

Whoosh whoosh.

The water prison, which should have been under the control of Orochimaru's clone, shook violently, swirling and constantly converging towards Feng Qi's fingertips.

Orochimaru's true form, having lost contact with the Water Prison Technique, changed his expression drastically. Just as he was about to withdraw, a highly compressed stream of water, comparable to a sharp longsword, roared in and pierced through his left shoulder before he could completely dodge!

"You bastard, you deliberately didn't use your special Byakugan ability on purpose when you used the Water Dragon Bullet?!"

Orochimaru endured the excruciating pain and retreated, clutching his bloodied shoulder with his right hand, his gloomy eyes fixed on Feng Qi.

"As you said, I do not have much practical experience, but the fact that intelligence is the key factor in ninja battles is taught even in the most ordinary ninja academies, Orochimaru-senpai."

Feng Qi slowly walked out of the broken water prison, his body steaming with heat, and his long, wet hair and gray robe quickly dried.

"You've really taught me a good lesson, Hyuga Kazeki." Orochimaru's expression was somewhat strained.

After all these years in the ninja world, I actually got knocked down by this young brat!

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Tsunade and Jiraiya found out...

"There's nothing I can do. You're one of the legendary Sannin. I can't win without creating some openings."

Feng Qi sighed and shrugged, feeling utterly troubled.

"So, your power can not only alter ninjutsu within the domain, but also affect ninjutsu activated outside the domain?!"

Despite the fact that he had already been proven by the serious injury that cost him half of his shoulder, Orochimaru, with a sinister expression, couldn't help but ask in a cold voice, wanting to get a definite answer from Feng Qi.

The reason is simple: this ability is so powerful that it has almost no flaws.

Unless you encounter an opponent whose strength completely overwhelms you, you can't possibly lose. You are practically invincible among your peers!

Looking at the Byakugan-wielding boy standing calmly before him, Orochimaru even had an incredibly strong sense of unreality:

If this kid grows up completely, he might be able to surpass the legendary God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, and become the greatest ninja of all time!

"Don't you already know the answer?" Feng Qi said calmly.

The moment he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed, and his chakra burst forth, creating an extremely oppressive and powerful aura.

Whoosh!

Feng Qi disappeared from the spot without warning.

By the time Orochimaru's pupils constricted and he caught sight of him again, the opponent's powerful fist was already upon his face!

"Tai Chi Beng Quan!"

Feng Qi used the Eight Gates of the Wind God to teleport a short distance and threw a heavy punch at Orochimaru's head!

With a muffled thud, Orochimaru was caught off guard and his head exploded on the spot.

However, the gruesome scene of blood splattering did not follow.

—Splashing out of Orochimaru's head were tiny white snakes covered in white scales.

The white snake was incredibly fast; as soon as it landed, it darted into the crumbling cracks and under the rubble, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"You really have a lot of ways to save your life, Orochimaru-senpai."

Feng Qi stood still, calmly watching the white snakes disappear.

Orochimaru's escape ninjutsu is quite powerful; even with the Byakugan, it's difficult to see where his true form is hiding.

However, it's not entirely unsolvable; all we need is...

Just kill them all!

“The character ‘Kun’ signifies the movement of the earth’s crust.”

Buzz!

As Feng Qi exerted his power, the broken ground within a radius of several hundred meters around him trembled violently.

Countless irregular pillars formed by compressed soil and rocks rose up continuously, blocking all the white snakes' escape routes and forcibly pushing them out from the depths of the soil.

However, this was not the end. Feng Qi, who was in the central palace of Feng Hou Qi Men, shook his sleeves and poured all his power into the "Gen" position.

"The character '艮' signifies the collapse of mountains!"

The array beneath their feet shone brightly, and then a massive shadow suddenly appeared overhead, completely obscuring the bright moonlight and casting an incredibly deep, dark shadow.

The howling wind echoed throughout the area.

Orochimaru, who was hiding among the white snakes, quietly raised his head. After seeing the outline of the shadow clearly, even he, who was very knowledgeable, couldn't help but gasp and stood there dumbfounded.

That was a mountain, and Hyuga Kazeki...

They somehow managed to move an entire mountain from somewhere!

Boom!

Before Orochimaru's utterly horrified eyes, the mountain crashed to the ground, mercilessly crushing everything within its range with its unparalleled kinetic energy!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 57 Possibility of Cooperation

A second before the mountain falling from the sky collided violently with the stone pillar on the ground, dozens of figures were sent flying out from the depths of the gap between the two.

Amidst howling winds, Shion, her long hair disheveled as she was tossed about in the air, hurriedly reached out to cover her billowing shrine maiden attire to avoid any wardrobe malfunction.

"Why are you doing this again? You bastard, don't you know what gentleness is?!"

The Tai Chi pendant hanging around her neck jingled. Zi Yuan was still in shock from being violently thrown around for no reason. She cursed loudly at the gray-robed figure standing on the ruins.

Currently, she is unable to control the powerful shrine maiden power within her, and her thought process remains that of an ordinary person.

Despite this, Shion did not panic when her body began to fall after reaching its highest point.

Because she had already experienced a sense of security once.

Whoosh.
