Naruto: The Progenitor of Demons Starting from Kirigakure

A little further back in time, the Thousand Demons Clan's secret stronghold was somewhat remote, located deep underground. This was a cruel and extremely isolated ninja clan. Their way of doing things in the village was much more mysterious than that of the Uji Kusanagi clan, completely adhering to the secretive style of ninjas.

In his territory, Jiro did not gain anything, but it cannot be said that he gained nothing; Jiro found a special bathing pool.

Blood pool.

In the pool of blood, which was thick and foul-smelling, floated one skull after another. The skulls were small, the bone walls were thin, the brow ridges were weak, and the foreheads were steep. Judging from all these characteristics, they were all women, young women.

"What is this?" Jieluo looked at Aoi.

With a look of disgust, Aoi said, "It's an old woman's bathhouse!"

"What does that mean?" Jieluo asked.

"To maintain her youth," Aoi said with disgust, "that old hag Kaoru has a penchant for torturing and killing young, beautiful women and bathing in their blood."

Jie Luo lowered his eyes and saw that there was indeed someone who had practiced the forbidden technique of Earthly Desire and Resentment.

Why? Because if people live long enough, they will try all the forbidden things.

"You escaped this ordeal because you're ugly?" Jie Luo asked with amusement.

Aoi looked at Yura, hesitant to speak, and after a long while, said, "I'm not ugly, I'm just average-looking."

"Something like that," Jieluo said. "If I don't think you're pretty, I can say you're cute."

Kui gritted her teeth angrily, but she couldn't beat him.

"Let's go to the base."

The stronghold of the Thousand Demons Clan was built in a distinctive, or rather, rudimentary way. It still followed the same routine: find the leader and kill him in one blow, then deal with the remaining ninjas who were leaderless.

Jieluo is looking forward to the battle against Jiganyu.

On the surface, it seems to be a secret technique for stealing hearts, but upon closer inspection, it's not that simple. First, it can modify the body to a certain extent, achieving a degree of immortality. Second, besides stealing attribute hearts, can it also steal bloodline limits? Can it only steal five hearts? What about Yin Release hearts and Yang Release hearts?

Will this holder of the Earth Grudge, different from Kakuzu, develop a different kind of Earth Grudge?

Unfortunately, with Old Lady Xun in the conference room, Aoi was also unaware of Yu's information.

Right now, we should find the forbidden scroll as soon as possible.

In front of a main house, Jieluo stopped and looked thoughtful. This house was built in a rather ancient style, even earlier than the Warring States period. This style should be called the Pure Land of Buddhism.

Incense wafted everywhere, and stone pagodas lit up the streets. The main hall in front of us was brightly lit, and the sound of chanting could be faintly heard.

Do you believe in Buddhism...?

"The head of the Thousand Demon Clan..." Aoi said, "is the successor of the title Thousand Demon Princess. She usually eats vegetarian food, chants Buddhist prayers, and no clansmen come to disturb her."

Kui stepped forward and pushed open the main hall door.

In the spacious hall, the first thing that catches the eye is five giant stone Buddha statues, each several meters tall, all wearing stone demon masks. It is impossible to identify which Buddha it is. Then, the three walls are covered with countless small Buddha statues, all of which wear demon masks.

Thousand Buddha Wall!

What hits you is a sense of sacred solemnity, tinged with an eerie oppressive feeling.

Beneath the five giant Buddha statues sat a monk dressed in monastic robes. Compared to the usual alluring women of the Thousand Ghost Clan, his figure and back view alone exuded a dignified and holy aura.

The chanting suddenly stopped.

In Jieluo's perception, the entire hall was filled with deep resentment, exuding an eeriness to its very core.

The monk turned around, his eyes fixed on Jieluo, a strange glint in them. His face was as still as an ancient well, exuding solemnity.

"My lord, your hair is beautiful, but it smells of blood."

She was very beautiful, with bone structure that suggested she was one in a million, but she was bald.

"Heh..." Jieluo chuckled and said, "It's the scent of our own kind, the scent of a demon."

With a flash of insight, Thousand Ghost Princess said, "What brings you here?"

Jieluo looked at Kui, who was startled and wisely retreated, leaving the main hall. Qian Guiji did not stop her and just watched. As Kui left, the main hall doors slammed shut automatically.

"I have no advice to offer," Jieluo said with a slight smile. "But I would like to ask for something."

"What is it?" Princess Thousand Ghosts asked.

"The earth resents Yu," Jieluo replied.

"Then..." Having slightly closed her eyes, Senkihime suddenly opened them, her calm expression turning ferocious as she shouted, "There's nothing to discuss!"

Illusion: Binding Technique

Before his eyes, the world suddenly changed and reversed. Six huge, sharp metal stakes were driven into Jieluo's body. Feeling no pain, Jieluo calmly looked at Qian Guiji opposite him.

The illusion of pain is amazing, but Jieluo can't feel pain.

Princess Thousand Ghosts raised her hand, and a coiled red rope between her fingers suddenly lashed out like a whip.

Secret Technique: Crimson Rope Technique

Before making a move, he gathered his hair behind his head, forming two strands of hair that resembled his hands, and rapidly formed hand seals.

Earth escape. Earth spear

The next moment, a deep, jet-black hue spread across Yura's white kimono. Within the woven fibers of the garment, strands of Yura's hair surged and wove into the fabric. With a raised hand, she stretched out her arm to block the attack of the crimson rope.

A rope as thick as a finger struck Jie Luo's wide, black sleeves, producing a series of grating, metallic scraping sounds.

The attack failed, and the crimson rope rolled back into Qian Gui Ji's hand. She looked at Jie Luo's black clothes with surprise and uncertainty.

Muyin didn't even raise her hand; the covering wasn't on the body, but rather on the clothing.

"Such incredible precision in chakra manipulation..." Senkihime frowned and said, "Earth Release: Earth Spear..."

Then we'll have to use Lightning Release.

A streak of lightning streaked along the red rope, and in an instant, a great flash of lightning erupted.

The blackness continued to spread, weaving into a pair of jet-black gloves on Jieluo's body and hands.

His gaze fell on the rope that Qian Gui Ji was hanging naturally on the ground. This thing was a woman's hair, a lot of women's hair, soaked in blood and woven into a rope using a secret method. It had a strong resentment on it, making it extremely sharp.

"It's a Stand user of the same type." Yura chuckled and muttered, reaching out to place his hand on the hilt of his sword, drawing Onikiri and assuming a mid-stance.

To mislead the opponent, you pretend to be a knife user.

Princess Senki scoffed disdainfully, saying, "What do you take my Crimson Rope for? Just swords and spears..."

Before she could finish speaking, blood lines bloomed silently on Qian Guiji's body. Her eyes were filled with astonishment as she stared at the scene in disbelief. The crisscrossing slashes exploded on the ground around her, and in an instant, she was split into pieces.

Jieluo stood there, silently watching the dismembered body.

This is not an opponent that can be easily defeated.

"Old hag, how long have you lived?" Jie Luo asked.

How many times you need to chop depends on how many lives she has, and whether she has enough to chop.

"You brat!" A piercing and terrifying female voice echoed around the surroundings. In an instant, the small Buddha statues on the three walls of the Thousand Buddhas seemed to come alive, opening their eyes and chanting in unison.

Illusion. Thousand Buddhas' Chant

Jie Luo lowered her eyes and asked, "Let me guess where your true form is hiding."

It's so hard to guess, let's just kill them all.

The air churned and twisted, and layers of illusory sounds echoed throughout the hall, creating sonic pressure strong enough to freeze a person in place.

Auditory illusion? That's amazing.

Jieluo's hair damaged her eardrum.

Before him, five giant stone Buddha statues rose up in unison, their bodies bulging like veins, as if pumping blood. The Buddha statues came to life, and as they opened their mouths, five kinds of chakra attack techniques were ready to be unleashed.

Do you know about laser balls?

It is a lighting device commonly used in light shows, parties, and stage performances, capable of rotating 360 degrees to emit laser beams of various colors.

This sword technique requires considerable concentration from Yura.

"Shut up, you old woman."

Jieluo raised his left hand, flipped his palm, and pressed down...

Black Secret Technique. The Secret Style. The Forest Sword Formation

Her hair grew wildly, and all over Jieluo's body, the dense strands of hair condensed into thin ropes, radiating outwards in all directions in a 360-degree arc. At the same time, she swung her hair rapidly, the trajectories of her slashes were well-organized and arranged in a regular pattern to form an intricate sword path.

In an instant, everything within a radius of 100 meters centered on Jieluo was completely cleaved in two.

Dense sword marks radiate outwards in all directions on the ground, walls, rooftops, and stone statues, forming a regular square grid.

Everything around was shattered.

Whether it's the Thousand Buddha Wall, the stone Buddha statues, or the main hall.

Kui, who was outside the main hall, suddenly saw everything being cut into neat squares, briefly suspended in mid-air, and then crashed down, turning the main hall into ruins.

Above the ruins of the main hall, the old woman's frantic screams echoed.

"My heart! No! My heart!!!"

Standing there amidst the billowing dust, Jieluo sighed softly, her eyes sweeping over the pool of blood scattered beneath the square rubble of the ruins.

These hearts are all placed inside the Buddha statue.

On the ruins, fragments of broken crimson tentacles still struggled and writhed.

What good are multiple lives if you have to kill them?

After one strike, Jieluo could make her owe him hundreds of lives.

Since there are many hearts, and they are not resurrection coins, they will be resurrected one by one according to the number of hearts held. If they are all laid out, they can easily be wiped out at once.

In Jieluo's eyes, Kakuzu's five hearts were no different from one; as long as the hearts weren't separated too far apart, it was fine...

Amidst the tremors of the ground, a colossal crimson creature burst forth from the depths of the earth. The instant it leaped above the surface, Jieluo followed suit, soaring into the air. Numerous crimson tentacles lashed out at Jieluo, but he remained motionless, bouncing back and forth among the tentacles. His unseen eight legs stomped on the tentacles, using their momentum to ascend into the air until he retreated beyond the tentacles' maximum attack range.

These tentacles don't have the ability to slash; they look like strands of hair, but more like strips of meat, which should be very smooth to cut.

Inside the cave, Ling Kong stood diagonally on the strands of hair hanging down from the cave ceiling, coldly gazing down at the monster on the ground.

Its entire body was crimson, with dense tendrils dancing all around it. On its front hung a ghost mask, and it roared at Jieluo in mid-air.

"Chakra! Why can't I absorb any chakra?!"

Has it completely abandoned its original body and transformed itself into a hair-like monster, with the ability to absorb chakra through physical contact?

pity...

Yura generally doesn't use chakra much.

It doesn't matter whether you absorb this much chakra, which is only at the Chunin level.

For a regular ninja, this might be an exceptionally powerful enemy.

Jieluo's gaze locked onto the mask, which roared and opened its mouth, its mouth glowing brightly.

Then die.

Suddenly, a round hole pierced through the mask, followed by a second hole, then a third. A dense barrage of attacks pierced through the mask, shattering it completely.

How can one defend against and dodge an attack that cannot be seen?

For ninjas, this was an attack that was virtually impossible to counter.

"Damn brat! Who are you?!"

"Farewell..." Jieluo smiled faintly.

In my perception, this is the only collection of negative emotions.

Besides, the reason why Jieluo was able to suppress the enemy all the way was because of malicious perception and reading of sword energy, which gave Jieluo the advantage of striking first from beginning to end. In front of Jieluo, if he could throw out his ninjutsu, Jieluo would lose.

With a final, agonizing scream, the enormous body of the hairy monster crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. Nearby, ninjas from the Thousand Demon Clan rushed in from all directions.

With her crimson eyes sweeping over the Thousand Demon Clan ninja, Yura raised a finger, and strands of hair shot out silently.
