Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 86 Kill!

"..."

The deathly stillness of the air was almost tangible, pressing heavily on everyone's chest.

The newly added "stains" on the door silently proclaimed that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Several rapid breaths were heard in the previously peaceful darkness, clearly from people hiding in the shadows like the rogue ninja from Kumogakure.

Apart from that brainless rogue ninja from Kumogakure, none of the people here today are fools, and naturally no one would be stupid enough to jump out and become the first to stick their neck out.

Even those with sensory ninjutsu who could detect the presence of others tacitly refrained from making a move, merely watching coldly as the rogue ninja from Kumogakure went to scout ahead.

But to my surprise, I witnessed this incredibly bizarre scene.

A door capable of devouring chakra and even eating people?
Just as most people were stunned and terrified, a faint smell of blood suddenly drifted through the air.

Bang! !

As several crimson arcs streaked through the air and blood splattered, a figure with its throat, tendons in its feet, and tendons in its hands slit, like a tattered doll, was thrown out of the darkness with a face full of terror.

There was no time to react or resist before they crashed into that massive doorway.

hum!
The deep blue glow on the door reappeared, and the eerie scene repeated itself.

The man's slit throat barely had time to utter a series of incoherent, rapid gasps before his chakra and flesh were drained at a visible speed, leaving him with the same fate as the previous rogue ninja from Kumogakure.

"That's right."

This time, the two Yugitos saw it clearly and thought to themselves, "It has indeed opened up a little."

Not only did she notice it, but everyone else present also realized it.

He smashed that unfortunate guy against the door to verify his guess.

"..."

The group stared intently at the crack in the door, which was only slightly clearer than before, but the barely perceptible gap seemed to mock the fragility of a life.

The gap was so deep that nothing could be seen behind the door, revealing an even purer darkness and deathly silence, as if the soul were frozen.

A chill licked at the cheeks of those present, and the atmosphere in front of the underground palace gradually became heavy.

Just then, someone made a move.

hum! !

A blinding white light instantly illuminated the darkness, abruptly tearing through the impenetrable void.

Dozens of figures hidden in the darkness finally appeared, instantly becoming alert and distancing themselves from those around them, subconsciously squinting in the direction from which the bright light appeared.

No action was taken?

The bright light appeared for only a moment, but nothing happened before it was swallowed up by the dense darkness again.

However, a voice soon reached everyone's ears.

"You two are Yugito, right?"

Yukito's cat-like eyes followed the sound and moved slightly, looking at the five figures that emerged from the darkness.

There were five ninjas of different shapes, who were not wearing headbands and were dressed in different colored clothes. After seeing the appearance of the five people, Yugito's cat eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"You are the Xuanyuan Clan, the 'Hunter Ninjas'?"

She stared at the five figures and said in a deep voice, "It seems someone hired you?"

Upon closer inspection, the figures of the five people appear to drift and swirl like smoke, clearly indicating that these are not their real forms.

"I take money from people and do their bidding, that's all."

The leader said calmly, "I just didn't expect even the Two-Tails Jinchuriki to be here. We'll have to ask for a little more when we ask for the final payment."

"As you can probably see, opening this door requires absorbing more chakra."

Another person beside him spoke up: "I think there is no one more suitable than you in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Yukito sneered, extending sharp claws from his ten fingers: "You think you can take me?"

"You've run into us," one of the Xuanyuan group suddenly laughed. "You're very unlucky."

"Hmph, how dare a mere bounty hunter be so arrogant!" The Cloud Village ninja standing next to Yugito's face turned cold.

Since we don't know where the enemy is, we'll just use indiscriminate attacks to force everyone out.

With this in mind, the Cloud Village ninja raised his hand to form a hand seal, and the chakra refined within his body surged.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Rat Strike..."

But the moment his body crackled with lightning, some of his chakra seemed to be absorbed by something, and his chest swelled to a terrifying height in an instant.

"what!!"

The surging pain interrupted the hand seals, and the Cloud Village ninja let out a painful scream.

The other Cloud Village ninjas around looked on in surprise and were about to step forward when they heard the Cloud Village ninja roar, "No, don't come any closer! Ah!!"

Kaka!

As his chest swelled again, Yugito seemed to have noticed something, his expression changed, and he shouted without hesitation, "Back off!"

The Cloud Village ninjas accompanying her were all elites, and upon hearing the order, they instinctively distanced themselves from her.

boom!
Like a blood bag bursting open, flesh and blood scattered and splattered like rain in the explosion.
pat!pat!
The Cloud Village ninjas were bathed in a rain of blood from their comrades, crimson chunks of flesh and blood splattering on their shoulders. They stared at the last remaining pool of blood on the ground with expressions of shock and rage.

"What kind of technique is this?"

"court death!"

Just as some of them were about to rush out again, they were stopped by Yukito in front of them.

"Good, that's it. Don't move."

Seeing this, the leader of the Xuanyuan group glanced around and said coldly, "The others are the same. The people who hired us only want what's behind the door; they don't need to kill anyone."

"I suppose you all understand that only by opening this door can you get what's inside." "Since we all have the same goal, if you don't want to end up the same way, you'd better obey me."

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee who will be the next person to explode."

Upon hearing this, the figures that had been hiding in the darkness, ready to pounce, froze, and for a moment, the situation was truly brought under control by the Xuanyuan Clan.

The death of that Cloud Village ninja was rather strange; we didn't see how Xuanyuan Zhong made his move at all.

Before figuring out the principle behind that explosive ninjutsu, most of the people present did not dare to make any rash moves, since no one could guarantee that they would not be hit.

Especially the bounty hunters present, who were also in the same profession, were most aware of the reputation and abilities of the Xuanyuan Clan, and out of fear, they could only stand still and watch coldly.

"Please." The leader of the Xuanyuan Clan looked at Yugito and said in a deep voice, "What you have in abundance is chakra, isn't it?"

Even if the two Yugito suddenly made a move now, it wouldn't explode like that Kumogakure ninja.

This technique is actually a "bursting insect" that they cultivate. It can parasitize the enemy's body and feed on chakra. Using chakra and ninjutsu is like feeding the "bursting insect" to accelerate its growth until it reaches its limit and explodes completely inside the body.

Since it is necessary for the two-tailed Jinchuriki, Mujina, to fill that door, it is impossible for Xuanyuan Clan to also plant "Exploding Bugs" in her.

They're gambling.

I bet the two wooden figures won't dare to make a move.

He gambled with the lives of five of them and more than a dozen Cloud Village ninja.

"..."

Just as they expected, Yukito narrowed his eyes, but he didn't dare to make any rash moves. He walked to the door.

The two twisted stains on the door seemed to come alive, radiating a greedy desire. With a solemn expression, she slowly raised her hand and pressed it against the door.

Buzz! !
That familiar light reappeared, but it was no longer the dim glow of before. Instead, a deep blue light erupted and instantly covered the giant gate like a tsunami!
The light was so intense that it even briefly dispelled the darkness underground, illuminating the entire area in front of the underground palace with a chilling glow!
"Ugh!" The two Yugito let out a muffled groan of pain.

The vast and pure chakra within her body, like billions of cold steel needles, pierced her skin, muscles, and meridians, surging uncontrollably and wildly toward the door, only to be swallowed up by that greedy giant door!
The terrifying suction force, as if it were tearing her soul out, was like an invisible giant hand constantly grabbing at her body.

Click, click, click! !

Under the varied gazes of the crowd, and with the frantic infusion of chakra, the previously barely perceptible crack in the door opened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the teeth-grinding scraping sound rang out, an even colder, more deathly, and more ancient aura gradually seeped out and permeated from the other side of the door.

Yukito's gaze was fixed on the crack in the door, the chill seeming to seep through her eyes and erode her very bones.

She could sense that there was something behind the door.

Ancient, cold, and full of malice, yet it felt strangely familiar to her.

But, soon.

Yugito's chakra was almost completely drained, yet the door in front of him was only open to the size of a fist.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

Yumu tried to put his hand into the gap, but was still blocked by an invisible force, and his gradually pale face immediately turned gloomy.

She could sense that if things continued this way, the door would soon open.

But by that moment, her chakra was completely exhausted, and she had no strength left to fight for what was inside the door!

Therefore, she deliberately acted as if her chakra was not enough.

The expressions of the others who witnessed this scene also turned serious, and their previously suppressed thoughts and actions began to stir again.

They could almost hear the door whispering as it greedily looked down at them.

not enough! Far from enough!
Give me more!

Without a doubt, if even the two Yugitos cannot open the door, then it will be their turn to die.

Who knows how many more lives will be needed to fill the void? The Xuanyuan Clan forced the wooden figures to their deaths in the same way they will force them to their deaths in the future.

Can't wait any longer...

"Ho!"

"Damn it!"

puff!puff!
As the sound of flesh being torn apart rang out, a furious roar echoed from the darkness, and the phantoms of the five Xuanyuan clan members suddenly vanished.

The voice was also very familiar to the others; it belonged to Xuanyuan Zhong Er, who had just been threatening everyone.

Bang!Bang!
Two corpses, resembling tattered sacks, were carelessly tossed out, slamming against the cold door with a dull thud.

The Yunyin group swept the beams of their searchlights across the area and, sure enough, spotted two still-warm corpses, belonging to members of the Xuanyuan Clan dressed in yellow and blue respectively.

The two men's faces were frozen in horror and pain, with huge, gruesome through wounds on their necks, their flesh and blood gradually being drained and shriveled by the door.

"What are you still hesitating about?"

A voice filled with laughter echoed from the darkness, like a seductive whisper that stirred everyone's desires.

"kill!"

A single syllable, tinged with coldness, was uttered softly, instantly shattering the suffocating silence and disrupting the already fragile balance.

After a brief, deathly silence, several figures in the darkness rushed toward the nearest one.

"what!"

"Damn it!"

"Kill them!"

Roars, screams, curses, and explosions erupted instantly in the darkness!
The flickering firelight illuminated several faces contorted with anger, fear, and greed.

The massive gate and the shadowy figures silently watched as these sacrifices fought and slaughtered before them, offering their lives and souls for them.

That's how it should be.
