Chapter 168: The Trip To The Secret Realm Is Blocked, The ChūNin Finals Begin
The moonlight fell on the ground.
Also landing with the moonlight was Mizuki.
Kushina looked at Mizuki and remembered that moonlit night and that handsome figure.
"Okay, no problem now. Where is the entrance to the secret realm? Please take me there!"
Kushina shook off the thoughts in her mind, said "Okay", and led the way.
High in the sky, Sage of Six Paths looks down.
"Don't let Mizuki enter that secret place."
"With his methods, I'm afraid he can break through the third floor and obtain the secret technique I left in it."
"Even if he breaks through the fourth floor, he will be in trouble."
"Gamamaru has made a careful plan to kill Mizuki after the Rock Shinobi Village Chūnin exam is over. If he is allowed to take part of the secret technique, Gamamaru's plan will fail again."
Although it has been learned that Mizuki is not a Ten Tails larvae, Sage of Six Paths still feels that Mizuki, a dangerous person who has escaped from his destiny, is better off dead.
"His motives for collecting the nine tailed beasts are obviously impure!"
"I must want to become the new Ten Tails Jinchūriki and rule the ninja world with absolute strength."
"This kind of behavior is never allowed!"
What Sage of Six Paths did not say is that Ashura and Indra are expected to put aside their grudges in this life and join hands to face the enemy.
Because in this life, Kaguya is destined to return to the ninja world. Only the two brothers put down their hatred and join forces can seal Kaguya again.
But if Mizuki continues like this, this matter may be ruined.
At that time, his two sons were unable to resolve their hatred and continued reincarnation and fighting.
So, Mizuki must die!
Once Mizuki dies, everything will be back on track.
"I can't affect reality, and I can't prevent the opening of the secret realm. I can only find Toadmaru."
The shadow of Sage of Six Paths faded away, and when it reappeared, it had reached Mount Myōboku.
At this time, Mount Myōboku is no longer a scene of ruins.
Although it was severely damaged by Mizuki before, various plants grew at an extraordinary rate under the nourishment of rich natural energy.
It has only been a while since the entire Mount Myōboku has returned to its original state, and everything is full of life.
In the temple on the top of the mountain, Gamamaru opened his eyes and looked at the solidified Sage of Six Paths.
"Hagoromo, you're fine!" Gamamaru greeted.
Sage of Six Paths did not waste any nonsense and said directly: "Gamamaru, block the moonlight, otherwise Mizuki will obtain some of the secret techniques I left in the ninja world."
"Once he gets the secret technique, your capture plan will definitely fail."
When Toadmaru heard this, his expression changed.
It didn't ask any more questions and just spit out a big mouthful of fairy energy.
After spitting out this breath of immortal energy, Toadmaru seemed to look a little older.
"Hey, I'm getting old!" Gamamaru sighed.
This breath of immortal energy rushed out of the temple gate, turned towards the sky, passed through the secret realm barrier of Mount Myōboku, reached tens of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, and then turned into a black mist, blocking the moonlight.
Although Mount Myōboku is in a secret realm, it shares the same sky as the ninja world and shines with the same source of moonlight.
Covered by black mist, the moonlight was completely blocked.
"It's okay if Mizuki dies this time. If it happens every time, please block the moonlight every full moon night." Sage of Six Paths said.
Gamamaru said: "Old friend, I have a careful plan this time. Mizuki will never survive."
"Don't worry!"
In the Kingdom of Whirlpool, Kushina took Mizuki to a coast, pointed to the sea several hundred meters away and said, "Did you see that reef?"
"There is a huge scallop thirty meters below the reef."
"Whenever the moon is full, the moonlight will shine through the seawater and hit the scallop, and the scallop's shell will open, forming a space Uzumaki made of seawater, which is the entrance to the secret realm."
"The name of the Country of Whirlpool and the title of the Uzumaki clan all come from this."
Mizuki nodded, floated up, and flew towards the reef.
Then he threw himself into the sea and dived towards the bottom of the sea.
Soon he reached the reef and saw a scallop with its shell open like a big mouth.
The moonlight shines on the inner wall of the shell, and the shell immediately emits colorful light.
A small vortex appeared, and Mizuki felt space fluctuations.
As the shell absorbs more and more moonlight, the vortex becomes larger and larger, and it will soon be enough to accommodate Mizuki.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and the moonlight disappeared again.
Without the energy of the moonlight, the colorful light of the shell immediately dimmed, and the space vortex inside also began to shrink, and soon became invisible.
The shell closes again!
"Huh?" Mizuki frowned.
The dark clouds had just dispersed, and they gathered again so soon?
When he came to the sea, he looked up and found that the moonlight was indeed blocked, but it was not the dark clouds that blocked the moonlight.
"It seems that there is a dark mass that blocks the moonlight."
Mizuki's body flew into the sky, flying to an altitude of 10,000 meters, only to find that the black mist was still far away.
He continued to fly upward, twenty thousand meters, thirty thousand meters...
The air became thinner and thinner, Mizuki could no longer breathe, and his vitality began to decrease.
After all, he is still a mortal and cannot survive without eating, drinking or breathing.
However, his strong vitality allows him to persist longer.
At an altitude of 50,000 meters, the black fog was still far away, and Mizuki couldn't hold on any longer.
The rate of loss of vitality has exceeded his imagination.
"Damn it, how high is it?"
He had to stop and fall to the ground. Flying further up, he could not guarantee his own safety.
It would be funny if he really suffocated to death at high altitude.
He fell to the ground, his face gloomy.
"What's going on? What's blocking the moonlight?" Kushina looked confused.
Mizuki shook his head: "I don't know, but this is definitely not a natural phenomenon. Someone must not want me to enter the secret realm."
The one who has this ability is either Sage of Six Paths or Gamamaru.
"Damn, I'm being watched."
The one who can monitor himself is either Gamamaru's telescope Technique or the Chakra consciousness of Sage of Six Paths.
Gamamaru can also use the telescope Technique, and his telescope Technique is infinitely better than Third Generation's.
Being in Mount Myōboku, Gamamaru can rely on a crystal ball to see scenes from all over the ninja world, live broadcast.
In order to avoid being monitored by Gamamaru, Mizuki usually uses Flying Thunder God as much as possible.
As for Sage of Six Paths, Mizuki really has no choice.
Although Sage of Six Paths is dead, his soul is monitoring the ninja world and even controls the connection between the earthly world and the pure land.
He wanted to monitor Mizuki, but with the current Mizuki, it was impossible to block the surveillance.
After all, Mizuki couldn't even sense the existence of Sage of Six Paths.
"Hey, Kushina, let's go back to Phoenix Village." Mizuki sighed.
Immediately afterwards, he took Kushina back to Phoenix Village.
Mount Myōboku, Gamamaru and Sage of Six Paths also watched Mizuki leave the Country of Uzumaki through the crystal ball.
"He gave up!" Gamamaru said.
Sage of Six Paths: "Don't be careless. He has many tricks. On the surface, he seems to have given up, but maybe he just made a false shot and is preparing to sneak back to the Kingdom of Whirlpool secretly."
"Therefore, the moonlight blockage cannot be removed, and we must wait for the moon to set before we can relax."
Gamamaru said: "Don't worry, after living for thousands of years, you still have to be vigilant."
"Whether he really gives up or pretends to give up, the moonlight will never be removed tonight."
Sage of Six Paths nodded, and then the figure faded away, leaving Mount Myōboku.
Gamamaru looked at Mizuki who returned to Phoenix Village in the crystal ball and smiled lightly.
"The Secret Technique of Heavenly Resentment and Yu will soon be mine!"
After saying that, he stopped the telescope Technique and stopped observing Mizuki.
After all, every consumption of magical power is a reminder to it. It is indeed very old and cannot bear the abuse.
Phoenix Village, Mizuki certainly did not give up.
He dodged into Kamui's space, and when he came out again, he had replaced his body with a Shadow Clone to hide himself from others.
And his true form used the Flying Thunder God Technique to come to the seaside.
However, this is not the Kingdom of Whirlpool, but the Kingdom of Fire, but it is not far from the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
He did not reach the Kingdom of Whirlpool directly, fearing that his plan would be discovered.
"I don't believe that the moonlight will always be blocked. As long as a crack is exposed, I will enter the secret realm as quickly as possible."
"The moon is moving, the worst thing is to wait a little longer."
He entered the Hollow state, dived underground, and moved quickly towards the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
After arriving near the secret realm, he used the Heavenly Resentment Yu Secret Technique to turn his body into liquid and merge into the sea water.
He began to wait, waiting for the moonlight to reappear.
Half an hour, an hour, two hours...
Mizuki finally discovered that the black fog that blocked the moonlight was actually moving with the movement of the moon.
"hateful!"
Mizuki knew that it was completely impossible to enter the secret realm tonight.
The only night a month is the night of the full moon. If you can't get in tonight, you have to wait another month.
But who can guarantee that the moonlight will not be blocked on the full moon night next month?
"This is how to do?"
The more the moonlight is blocked, the more Mizuki is sure that the things in the secret realm will be helpful to him.
Since he couldn't get in, Mizuki stopped guarding and returned to Phoenix City, sitting alone in the office and thinking.
"You must get the training scroll to lift the space blockade."
"But I'm afraid that every full moon night from now on, the moonlight will be blocked, unless I am strong enough to dispel the black fog blocking the moonlight in the sky."
But this is not realistic.
He couldn't fly that high.
"So, what else can be done?"
He thought about it over and over, but could never think of a good way.
"It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. Gamamaru will definitely take action again, and I must not enter Mount Myōboku again."
"When the Chūnin exam is over and the number of apprentices in the system increases, I have to speed up my improvement in strength."
"In addition, we can no longer work hard, we must practice hard."
"Although the indestructible magic skill is extremely difficult, it must be practiced."
From that day on, Mizuki became cautious. No matter where he went, he always kept an eye on everything.
At the same time, I became diligent and spent most of the day practicing.
Wood Style, Inferno Style, Rock Release.
Practice diligently and keep from falling!
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
The Rock Shinobi Village Chūnin exam finals are finally here.
Early in the morning, there was a buzz of people around the circular final venue.
Daimyos, dignitaries, and nobles from various countries came to watch the game. They heard that Nine Tails Jinchūriki Uzumaki Naruto who participated in the finals was the son of Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, so they all wanted to come and have a look.
On the highest stand directly in front, there were five chairs placed side by side.
Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, Ribbon Raikage Ai, Fourth Mizukage Terumi Mei, First Generation Hokage Mizuki, Konoha Sannin no Jiraiya, five people sat side by side.
"The Chūnin exam finals begins now!"
"The first match, Phoenix Village Uzumaki Naruto VS Phoenix Village Gaara!"
"Invite two contestants to compete!"
