Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World

Chapter 582 The Six Paths Level Without an Admission Ticket (Third Update)

The earth undulates, and the earthy smell and heat wave hit you in the face, so thick that it's hard to breathe. With each breath, your chest feels heavy.

The samurai's hands and feet were trembling.

"Excuse me, sir!"

The two leading samurai exchanged a glance, reached out, and were about to forcibly take Yuan Litong away.

"You may leave," Yuan Litong said.

The samurai were slightly taken aback. Before they could say anything, Yuan Litong, who was looking ahead, continued, "Don't hold me back. Only I can open the barrier here."

Upon hearing this, the samurai, though unwilling, acted without hesitation, turning and rushing into the city.

The instant they entered the city—

boom!!

A deafening roar, like the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth, exploded behind them. The warriors, who had rushed into the city gate in a disheveled state, were shocked and turned around sharply to look.

"Master Yuan!"

Smoke and dust obscured the sky and the sun, but behind the smoke and dust, a semi-transparent wall of light had risen slowly, encircling and closing in on the capital city.

The barrier surrounding the capital city has been opened.

This barrier was created by combining and optimizing Konoha's original sensory barrier and the Fire Temple's sealing iron wall.

Only half of the barrier is visible above ground; in reality, the barrier is a sphere that even covers and protects the underground of the Fire Kingdom's capital.

so----

Rumble!!

The thick, dragon-like tree roots slammed and pressed against the barrier, producing a teeth-grinding sound.

The light barrier trembled violently, ripples spreading outwards, but it ultimately held firm.

The tree roots, unable to gnaw at this barrier, were guided by the curved surface and flowed away from both sides of the capital, like a flood bypassing a giant rock in the middle of a river.

But----

Outside the city gate, it was deserted.

Where the smoke and dust billowed, there was no sign of that figure.

"Lord Madoka—" the samurai gritted their teeth.

Just as they were feeling grief.

What are you looking at?

A questioning voice came from behind.

Upon hearing the familiar sound, the samurai were startled and turned to look.

Yuan Litong stood there, tilting his head, looking puzzled, seemingly unable to understand what they were making such a fuss about.

Aside from the dust on his body making him look a bit disheveled, he wasn't injured.

"My lord, you're alright! That's wonderful!" The samurai were immediately invigorated and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Yuan Litong shook his head helplessly and turned away.

The warriors, relieved to have escaped, could not see his face. With his back to them, his previously calm expression suddenly darkened.

That's really bad.

As the second son of a former daimyo and a link between the Fire Temple and Konoha, Enrito was naturally very familiar with the effects of barriers.

It could stop ninjas from other countries, and even tailed beasts, but from the day it was designed, no one had ever imagined...

We must use it to stop this terrifying divine tree.

Even if Isshiki Otsutsuki didn't unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi like Madara Uchiha, who became the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki in the original story, the city's barrier wouldn't last long based solely on the strength of the Root system itself.

Diverting traffic is just a delay.

Dikes can force floods to change course, but if the floods do not stop, they will eventually overflow and submerge the dikes.

Although they had shared the barrier with the other four great nations, it could only protect one city at a time. What about the people outside, and the rest of the ninja world—

Without a doubt, the entire ninja world is dying.

The more Yuan Litong thought about it, the more his right hand began to tremble involuntarily.

But the next moment, he suddenly reached out his other hand and grabbed his trembling right hand tightly.

As the backbone of the Land of Fire, he absolutely cannot show the slightest fear in front of others.

Absolutely not!

"What's the situation at the front lines now? —" Enrito frowned, looking up in the direction of the Land of Hot Springs, his unease growing.

Boom! Boom!

The sky over the Land of Hot Springs is completely rotten.

Thunderclaps followed one after another, splitting the leaden-gray sky open, then sewing it back together, then splitting it open again.

The earth shattered completely, with cracks spreading from one end to the other, reaching depths that were bottomless, with only a red light flickering in the depths of the fissures.

Thick smoke billowed up, mingling with the low-hanging dark clouds, making it impossible to distinguish where the smoke ended and the clouds began.

The land of hot springs is famous for its hot springs.

Beneath the hot springs lie countless extinct volcanoes.

Today, those dormant volcanoes that had been sleeping for thousands of years were crushed alive by the crushing force of the sacred tree's roots.

The earth's crust was plowed open, and surging magma, carried by the roots of the divine tree, erupted forth, with crimson streams of fire flowing through the gaps between the roots.

Mountains, fields, bathhouses, villages —

Wherever they went, everything was engulfed in fire.

Centered on the underground palace, most of the land of Tang has been turned into a wasteland.

this!

Between heaven and earth stood a colossal statue of the Wing King.

Adorned with the majestic Susanoo, the giant statue's face, with its blue-faced, fanged mask, was incredibly ferocious and furious, like a wrathful Vajra crawling out from the deepest part of hell.

It swung its black greatsword again and again, severing the tree roots that surged toward it at the roots.

Behind it, thousands of arms continuously swung out giant fists, smashing the stray tree roots one by one into the shattered earth.

Slurry splattered at the break, but cutting off one strand would only cause more to gush out.

"When will these damn things ever stop?!"

On the top of the colossal statue of the Myō-ō, within one of the leaves of the Five Buddha Crown, Madara Uchiha, with a gloomy face, looked toward the origin of those tree roots.

In the distance, there was a strangely shaped underground palace that resembled a tomb.

Compared to Orochimaru's previous Divine Tree, this strange Divine Tree, whose size and power are several times larger, is of unknown origin.

These roots, which spread from the divine tree, grew to the size of a wooden puppet when they reached the capital of the Land of Fire.

This has already filled Yuanlitong and others with immense fear and helplessness.

However, in the Land of Hot Springs, which is closest to the Divine Tree—

Boom! Crack! Crack!

One of the arms behind the colossal statue of the Ming King unleashed a powerful strike, colliding with an oncoming tree root of similar size.

The powerful Susanoo covering it shattered with a "crackling" sound, turning into scattered fragments that drifted away into the air, but it still managed to smash the dragon-like tree root to pieces.

"whispering sound!"

Madara Uchiha's face showed an expression of irritation, and his chakra surged out from his body, instantly repairing the shattered Susanoo armor.

But his eyes grew increasingly somber.

Although they possessed the "Yin Power" bestowed by the Six Paths Elder, the strength of each of these tree roots was comparable to the arm of the "True Thousand Hands," and they seemed to be inexhaustible.

Let alone getting inside.

At this moment, the underground palace was completely submerged by the roots of the divine tree. The layers upon layers of roots wrapped it into a real tomb, leaving not even a crack.

They couldn't get in at all.

In another leaf of the Five Buddha Crown, Thousand Hands Hashirama stands, also frowning, looking at the endless, thick tree roots that are as thick as the arms of the Myō-ō statue.

Then, he turned his head and looked in another direction.

That was Nagato.
