Unlike the other two instances, the 'natives' in this world will have two colors displayed above their heads.

One shade of green represents the navy.

One shade of red represents pirates.

If it's not displayed, it could be a commoner, an ordinary nobleman, or a bounty hunter.

As for the Celestial Dragons, there's no need to distinguish them; you can tell just by looking at how they appear.

“If he’s a pirate like that, he doesn’t seem like a bad guy,” Uchiha Rei said.

Chapter 38: The Stage Prelude (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets)

Inside Shibuya tram station.

A bewildered crowd dressed in various styles gathered on the first floor of the station. The Rain Village team and the Sound Village team were about to be completely sucked down to the basement when they managed to grab onto the wall in time to avoid being pulled down to the basement by this force.

Near the station entrances and exits on both sides, both teams looked somewhat bewildered.

"What on earth is going on? What is this unreasonable force?"

"If you ask me, we'd better hurry up and get out of here, lest we run into some enemies, which would be terrible."

"What Shiro said makes sense. Our mission is to survive, and the rules only allow us to save those ordinary people as much as possible, but now we can hardly protect ourselves."

The conversation between the Sound Village Squad and the Rain Village Squad was almost identical.

Only the Cloud Hidden Squad on the basement floor dared not move, because they were surrounded not only by crowds.

"How to do?"

"They have already spotted us."

"This is a top-tier cursed spirit?!"

A head shaped like the peak of Mount Fuji, with one large, bright eye, an unusual skin tone, and wearing a stylish coat.

"A sorcerer squad?"

"How did you manage to suck the sorcerer in?"

Louhu's tone was tinged with helplessness.

"Well... I didn't expect the high school to send such a weak sorcerer."

The man responding to the Superior Cursed Spirit Leaking Lake had long black hair tied back with a hair tie, and wore a dark-colored kasaya. He raised his right hand and was touching his chin, pondering how to deal with the three 'Level Two Cursed Spellcasters' who had appeared.

Seeing that the Cloud Hidden Squad was unable to move due to fear, Louhu shook his head slightly: "Are these people really level two sorcerers? They look too weak."

Tall and muscular, with his right arm seemingly wrapped in a white cloth, Hanamichi remained silent for a moment before using his magical powers to communicate with the three of them.

"Children, please don't be afraid."

"We are the guardians of the Earth, so please rest assured."

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Cloud Hidden Squad's pupils contracted, and they stared at the three people in disbelief.

"What's going on... why can I hear sounds?"

"Did you hear that too?"

"Yes!"

As the three were talking, a rather childish-looking figure walked in, with blue and white hair and what appeared to be stitches on his face.

"Hahaha--"

"Jay, it's really fun outside!"

"I ran into several level-two sorcerers on the first floor just now, it was so much fun."

The real person's voice was lively and cheerful, and the Cloud Village team, who hadn't seen that scene, even thought the real person was a normal teenager.

However, those in the monitoring room, along with the six members of the Amegakure and Otogakure teams, could personally experience what true despair was.

In the monitoring room, Tobirama Senju, unusually, stopped being sarcastic and instead stared seriously at the person in front of the Cloud Village team's screen.

"Physical attacks and sonic attacks are all useless."

"Once touched, you will turn into a monster controlled by the other party..."

"What exactly is going on with this person?!"

Orochimaru, who represents the Sound Cave, wasn't there, otherwise he would definitely have shouted things like "Sparashi!" or "I want you!"

But when Konan saw three Amegakure genin from her village who were skilled in using the Shadow Clone Technique being brutally killed by a fellow comrade who had been 'mutated' into a real person, she couldn't help but shudder.

'What kind of monster is this?! How can it turn people into that...'

Therefore, when they saw the real person arrive at the basement level of the station and meet with the Cloud Village team, the Cloud Village representative couldn't help but cover his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

Inside the station's basement level, the real person happily ran up to the Cloud Village trio. Although the trio was a little scared, they inexplicably felt that this person was different from the others, and seemed to be more friendly.

"Jay, can I have these three? There are quite a few enemies outside~"

Xia Youjie smiled slightly: "Whatever you want. I was already considering whether to kill them or take them hostage, but now it seems I'll just give them to you."

"Jay~ You're so kind~" After saying that, the real person stepped forward and touched the dark-skinned boy, saying gently, "Um~ Can I ask, what kind of spells do you know?"

Sasaki, his face being stroked by a real person, nervously swallowed: "I know a little bit of Lightning Release and swordsmanship..."

"Wow~ It can use lightning-attribute spells~ How rare." The real man's smile grew deeper.

Xia Youjie sighed slightly, "What a pity about this talent."

Louhu stood with his arms crossed, seemingly enjoying the show, while Huayu remained calm.

After finishing speaking, Makoto leaned close to Sasaki's ear and whispered, "Then... welcome to become my subordinate."

Sasaki was stunned and didn't understand what it meant, but the next second his whole body started to swell, and red, green, purple and blue skin colors rolled all over his body.

"Help...help me..."

This scene startled the other two members of the Cloud Hidden Squad. They took a big step back to create distance and looked warily in the direction of their teammates and the real person.

But the next second, Sasaki's body was 'modified'.

"Help...help...help me..."

It is about three meters tall, its original dark skin has turned blue, it is slender, has a pure oval face, its teeth and mouth are exposed on the left side, and its two arms, which were originally normal, have become two sharp blades, making it look a bit like a stick insect.

"Sasaki!"

The two ninjas from Kumogakure were completely devastated by what they saw, but what happened next was even more devastating.

"Um... what are you good at?" Makoto's voice suddenly appeared next to another Cloud Village ninja.

"No...no!!"

"It's too late~ inaction leads to transformation."

As soon as the real person finished speaking, the Cloud Village ninja transformed into a round, over two-meter-tall fat man with three eyes on his head, six mouths on his chest and abdomen, and large fists in his hands, looking somewhat like an ogre.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

However, it still could not escape the real person's 'touching' and turned into a creature that looked somewhat like a half-snake, but the position of its eyes and mouth was too strange, and there were two horns on its snake-shaped head.

"Not bad, these three can actually generate electricity. They're practically half-step level one sorcerers, right?" The real person exclaimed, sensing the strength of the 'three'.

“Is that so?” A hint of apprehension flashed in Xia Youjie’s eyes, then he added, “Then you can take care of the people upstairs. Gojo Satoru will be here soon.”

"Yes yes yes~"

The real man led three capable subordinates down to the first floor of the station.

At this moment, inside the station, two strangely shaped cursed spirits can be seen devouring the body of an Otogakure ninja.

On the other side, a strangely shaped cursed spirit was perched on the two Rain Village ninjas, and ghostly figures would occasionally appear around them.

"Oboro, it's time to go~"

"And you two, stop licking me and come out to play with me~"

Afterwards, the master instructed the six cursed spirits to kill indiscriminately outside, and not to let any other sorcerers they encountered escape.

Meanwhile, Kabuto Yakushi's Konoha squad was also in a tough fight. Strange cursed spirits kept appearing on the streets of Shibuya, and they were impossible to kill. They were all the work of real people.

'Chakra Scalpel!'

The Pharmacist slapped a strange cursed spirit, about 1.8 meters tall, with a bald head and pink skin, and attempted to sever its muscles.

The next second, the bald-headed cursed spirit suddenly swung his left fist. Kabuto Yakushi looked surprised, but still managed to extend his right arm in time to block the attack coming from the right.

With a 'bang', Kabuto was sent flying, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, this isn't human at all."

"Kabuto!" Kenmei blocked the attack of another cursed spirit, using the force to quickly retreat and reach Kabuto Yakushi.

"I didn't expect... the Chunin Exams to be this difficult..."

"At this rate, let alone protecting ordinary people, we'll all be killed soon." After successfully defeating one of the cursed spirit opponents, the Crimson Armored One came to join the two.

At this moment, there were seven or eight corpses of cursed spirits around them, but most of them were dealt with using hidden weapons imbued with chakra and fists. As for the Five Elements Ninjutsu, they were not good at it at all.

Kabuto Yakushi used the Palm Healing Technique on his injured right arm. As the green light flashed, he said urgently, "Our mission is not to defeat them, but to survive. Don't forget that."

These words were met with nods of approval from both of them.

If it weren't to prove themselves, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of fighting this group of cursed spirits.

But at this moment, a new cursed spirit has emerged.

One was crawling on all fours on the ground, and the other had two short horns on its head; both were strange humanoid creatures.

"That is..." The Crimson Armored Man wondered what was going on with the two cursed spirits in front of him.

One of the two-horned spirits began to gather a blue arc of electricity above its head.

The cursed spirit seemed to be saying something, and the next second, a bolt of lightning rushed towards the two of them, its power comparable to a B-rank lightning release.

"Oops!"

The crimson armored figure tried to retreat, but it was too late. With a loud 'boom' and the distinctive 'sizzling' sound of lightning, the concrete floor beneath the crimson armored figure was shattered.

In just one second, Akado Armor was completely charred, exhaled a puff of smoke, and collapsed to the ground.

Standing beside Kabuto Yakushi, Kensuke saw Akado Armor's uncertain fate and knew that at this moment, they had no choice but to abandon him. "Kabuto! Let's retreat!"

Kabuto stopped his healing motions and nodded slightly: "Scatter, run!"

Kabuto Yakushi's idea was good, but the next second a humanoid cursed spirit crawling on all fours blocked his way, while Misumi Tsurugi was also blocked by other ordinary cursed spirits.

Kabuto took off his glasses and pulled out a kunai. This was the first time he had been caught in a bitter battle called 'despair'.

"Up."

Kabuto Yakushi seemed to be gathering his courage. His eyes were filled with an unprecedented killing intent. He wanted to kill this cursed spirit and prove himself and his worth!

The moment it charged forward, the crawling cursed spirit appeared as afterimages around it. Kabuto Yakushi's eyes widened, but he still aimed at the one in the middle. Unexpectedly, the cursed spirit took the initiative to move forward, and its speed was not slow at all. One attack after another came, and its long fingernails collided with Kabuto Yakushi's kunai one after another.

After several rounds, Kabuto's kunai showed signs of wear and tear, and he felt his right arm begin to go numb.

"Damn it... this taijutsu... is already comparable to that of a Jonin who is skilled in taijutsu..." Kabuto Yakushi believed that he was now much stronger than an ordinary Chunin, but there was still a certain gap compared to a normal Jonin, let alone a Jonin who was skilled in taijutsu.

Just then, a scream from behind sent chills down his spine.

The four-limbed cursed spirit seized the moment when Yakushi Kabuto was momentarily stunned, and sped forward.

"Not good!" Kabuto Yakushi threw out his kunai, but it was easily knocked away by the moving cursed spirit, whose fingernails were about to pierce through Kabuto's body.

Click.

Kabuto looked at the fatal wound in his abdomen with disbelief as he was lifted up by the four-limbed cursed spirits. The voices that could be faintly heard from the cursed spirits' mouths were somewhat tragic.

With a loud 'bang', the four-limbed cursed spirit's tone relaxed slightly. His name was Oboro. Although his soul had been modified, he still had a last shred of consciousness. However, this consciousness could only suffer endless torment and pain. He could not control his body and could only watch helplessly as he killed his companion.

At this moment, the four-limbed cursed spirit was raising a substitute wooden stake, not the real Yakushi Kabuto.

Meanwhile, Kabuto was hiding on the stairs of a pedestrian overpass, panting heavily.

He's the only one left on the team.
