34.8% Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson / Chapter 229: 222. Valley of Lies Part-2

Capítulo 229: 222. Valley of Lies Part-2

At the border of Land of Mountains,

"We are here."

Izuna and Kimimaro scale a very tall mountain as they gaze at a gorge located in between two mountains.

Hmm…

Izuna takes out the map from his pocket to assure the location.

"This is the location, but I can't see anything out of ordinary here."

A long river flows through the gorge, parting two mountains in half.

"SHARINGAN!"

Izuna activates his Sharingan and gazes down on the slope of the hill.

"I see… that makes sense."

He nods his head as the truth appears in front of his eyes.

"No wonder… they call this place as the 'Valley of Lies'. This entire mountain range is shrouded in a very large-scale genjutsu.

To any outsider, the place will just look like a normal mountain range, but it can't fool my eyes."

Izuna turns towards Kimimaro.

"Have you done skydiving before?"

"SKYDIVING?!"

Kimimaro tilts his head in confusion.

"No problem… there's first time for everything."

Izuna lifts Kimimaro and points him towards the base of the hill.

Gulp…

"UH!… Angel-san! I am afraid."

Kimimaro gulps his saliva.

"Daijoubu! Daijoubu! Besides, I am also here with you."

Whoosh…

"Here you go!"

Izuna swings his right arm and launches Kimimaro towards the foothill.

"This is the actual test of your skills."

Whoosh…

Izuna takes a leap of faith from the peak of the mountain.

---------------

At the base of the Mountain,

Ha… ha… ha…

Kimimaro is breathing heavily as there are various bruises on his body.

"I… I did it."

"Well done." Izuna nods his head.

"Mystic Palm Technique"

Izuna heals Kimimaro's wound.

"With the Snake Sage Mode, your body has gained the traits of a snake. Your body has become more flexible and it will help greatly with your Kekkei Genkai."

"Yes, Angel-san." Kimimaro nods his head.

'Maybe I am too harsh to him. But only life-threatening situation can awaken the true potential.'

Izuna shakes his head.

"Kimimaro, our destination is here." Izuna remarks as he stares at a giant boulder.

He walks towards the boulder and investigates it.

"Found it."

Kacha… click…

He activates the mechanism and a passage opens in a nearby hill.

"Let's go."

Kimimaro stands up and dusts his clothes. Both of them walk inside the cave as Izuna explains the details.

"Shangri-La is a small village hidden deep in the valley of Lies. This village is a haven for rogue ninja who abandoned the life of shinobi and aims to live peacefully.

A genjutsu barrier is erected on the hill and is maintained by the villagers to deter bounty hunters from the village. The ninjas of the village use Transformation Jutsu to hide their actual identity."

Izuna turns towards Kimimaro.

"So… let's change our appearance."

Izuna makes some hand signs.

"Transformation Jutsu"

He transforms into a burly middle-aged man with a scar on his right eye.

"As for you, Kimimaro… you are fine as you are. You just need some touch-ups."

Whoosh…

Izuna takes out a make-up kit from his storage scroll and 'paints' Kimimaro's looks.

"Well… I think I did a good job with my make-up." Izuna nods his head as he stares at his masterpiece on Kimimaro's face.

"Just a few touch-ups here and there!"

After half an hour later,

"It is a nice cosplay. You are ready to go."

Izuna stores his make-up kit and nods at Kimimaro's new appearance.

Kimimaro takes out the small diary from his pocket and scribbles on it.

"Cosplay is good."

Both of them continue to walk through the underground passage as they approach the village.

Whoosh… whoosh…

Three masked ninjas appear in front of them. They draw their kunais and point them towards the duo.

"Halt!"

Both of them stop as they warily stare at the group.

"Outsiders aren't allowed are here. Please return to where you came from."

One of the shinobi walks in front of them and threatens them.

"No… no… we aren't here for trouble."

Izuna shakes his hands.

"My name is Akihito, and this is my son, Akifumi. We are from a small shinobi village from the land of Grass.

The head of our village was a lecher and a sexual deviant. While I was on a mission; he assaulted my wife.

Out of guilt and sorrow, my wife committed suicide. When I came back from my mission, I learned about the truth. Enraged by this, I murdered that son of a bitch and fled the village.

Since then, I have been on a constant run with my son. It has been five years since then."

Izuna gently pats Kimimaro's head.

"He is my only family in this world. I want to give a stable and peaceful life to him. A life where he would never have to live in fear of death.

Recently, I heard about this place from someone. So, we climbed all the way to this mountain to reach this haven."

Tears fall from his eyes as he hugs Kimimaro.

Sob… sob…

The eyes of one of the guard shinobis tear up.

"I feel you, brother. I share the same story as you. But in my case, I had no family."

"We share the same sentiment as you, brother. All the residents of Shangri-La have suffered one way or another."

The remaining two shinobi also nod their head as their eyes tears up. They withdraw their weapon and guide them towards the village.

"Shangri-La welcomes you. All of us are the rogue criminals of this cruel world. We hope you will be able to achieve peace here."

The group continues to walk deeper into the cave.

'Damn! I never expected my third-grade drama to melt their heart. Does this mean I am a natural-born actor? Maybe I should have opted acting as a career path rather than medical studies.'

Izuna silently stares at their back as they walk along the bank of the river.

"Would you mind telling me more about this village?"

Izuna turns towards one of the shinobis of Shangri-La.

The shinobi nods his head as he explains.

"Shangri-La was originally a small cave which was part of this giant mountain. After the end of the First Shinobi War, a group of shinobi from smaller nations fled to this place to preserve their life.

They dug out the mountain and found this village. Since then, the village has continued to expand. As the village is carved out from the mountain, there is always a risk of landslide.

So, the previous village Head planted a giant tree to acts as a support for the base of the mountain."

The shinobi points towards a gigantic tree situated in the middle of the cavern.

"I see."

Izuna nods his head as he secretly activates his Sharingan to investigate the tree.

'Hmm… there is nothing unusual about this tree other than the fact that it is surrounded by large amounts of Nature energy. Maybe it is the effect of its immense vitality.'

"We are here."

The group stops as they reach the base of the giant tree.

Knock… Knock…

One of the shinobi knocks on a small door embedded in the tree.

Creak…

The door creaks open as an old man with a long white beard walks out of the treehouse.

"What's the matter, Fusao?"

Fusao bows in front of the old man.

"Chief, there are newcomers."

He points towards the 'father-son duo.

Hmm…

The old village chief scrutinizes Izuna and Kimimaro and nods his head.

"Good! It has been almost three years since someone new joined the village. Fusao! Explain the drill to them."

The old chief turns around and returns to his treehouse.

Fusao turns towards the duo and remarks.

"You must have already encountered the barrier around the village."

Izuna nods his head.

"Yes, we came across the barrier. Since we were specifically seeking for the village; it didn't fool our eyes."

"Hmm…" Fusao nods his head.

"The barrier requires an enormous amount of chakra to maintain, as such many of the villagers spent four hours a day to help maintain the barrier.

Since you are now a member of the village; you would also have to fulfill this duty."

"I will fulfill this duty."

Izuna nods his head.

"Good! Let me escort you to an empty house. Whenever a villager dies; he leaves behind an empty house. You can live in one of these houses."

He directs the pair to one of the old houses.


Capítulo 230: 223. A Peculiar Village

Hmm…

Izuna inspects his surroundings as he closes the door.

"All these people are in disguise. Can't blame them; all of them are criminals or rogue shinobis.

I have little to do with the village, but the informant is from this place. I wonder who he is?"

"Seal"

He makes a hand sign and places a Fuinjutsu seal on the door.

'It has become an instinct of mine to place sealing formulas everywhere.'

Izuna shakes his head and turns towards Kimimaro.

"Kimimaro!… your Kekkei Genkai Shikotsumyaku is an integral part of your combat. Paired with taijutsu and Senjutsu; you will become a force to be reckoned with."

"It's all thanks to you, Angel-san."

Kimimaro bows in front of him.

"But… it's not enough."

Izuna shakes his head.

"… you don't have any talent for genjutsu and even your ninjutsu skills are very poor." Izuna remarks as he makes some hand signs.

Crackle… Snap… Pop…

Kimimaro snaps his bones and takes out a bone sword from his arm.

"I don't need ninjutsu or genjutsu to kill my enemies. I can just slice them off with my bones." A hint of bloodlust appears in Kimimaro's eyes.

Izuna notices the bloodlust in his eyes.

'It must be the effect of his bloodline. As he reaches adulthood, more and more of his bloodline potential will be released and he too will slowly turn insane, like his clan mates.

No wonder the Snake Sage Mode suits him. But he needs to keep his bloodlust in check.'

"I see." Izuna nods his head as he lifts his finger and points it towards Kimimaro.

"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique"

He casts a simple genjutsu on Kimimaro.

Argh…

Kimimaro clutches his forehead and shakes in fear as he hugs his body.

Snap…

Izuna snaps his body and dispels the genjutsu.

"This was a D-Rank genjutsu meant to be used against chunnins and genins, and yet it turned into a nightmare for you."

"I… I am sorry."

Kimimaro lies down on the ground as his entire body is drenched in sweat.

"Having self-confidence is fine and all. But you must never underestimate your enemies. Since… you know your weakness; it is time to get rid of it."

'What about you, brat? Most of the time you underestimate your enemies. Hmph…'

Kurama snorts at him.

'Let's not talk about that.'

Izuna turns his head away in embarrassment.

Haha… ahaha…

Minato and Kushina chuckles.

'I agree with Kurama on this matter.' Minato nods his head.

'Not you too… Minato-san.' Izuna drops his head in shame.

Ahem…

He clears his throat and turns to Kimimaro.

Whoosh…

Izuna takes out a chakra paper from his pocket.

"I never checked your chakra nature; maybe it is time to do so."

He hands over the chakra paper to Kimimaro.

"Infuse your chakra in this chakra paper."

Swoosh…

Kimimaro grabs the paper and infuses his chakra into the paper.

Drip… drip… Crumble… crumble…

The paper turns soggy before it crumbles apart in the dust.

"I see!… So, you have a dual chakra nature of Earth and Water. That's pretty good." Izuna nods his head.

"In these upcoming days, I would train you in some basic ninjutsu techniques. Since you don't have an affinity for genjutsu; we will skip that part. I will only teach you how to dispel a genjutsu. So, get ready for the training."

"Yes… Angel-san." Kimimaro meekly nods his head.

--------------------

Outside the Land of Valley,

Whoosh…

Konan climbs the mountain as she reaches the peak of the summit of the mountain.

"This is the place."

She takes out the map from her scroll and checks the location.

Swoosh…

Icy winds blow in the mountain as a chill runs down her spine.

She pockets the scroll and gazes at the bottomless end on the other side of the mountain.

Scramble… scramble…

'Dance of the Shikigami'

Various paper sheets gather behind her. The paper sheets form two giant wings behind her.

Swoosh…

The paper wings create a thrust as she flies to the bottom of the hill.

Whoosh…

She smoothly lands at the bottom of the hill.

"It must be somewhere around here."

Konan searches for the hidden mechanism to enter the village.

She founds the mechanism.

Swoosh…

'Paper Transformation Technique'

The paper gathers around her as she changes her outer appearance.

Whoosh… whoosh…

Three masked shinobis with kunais block her way.

"Halt!"

-----------------

"Kimimaro, I have taught the basic technique to you. Practice it diligently and you will master it in no time." Izuna instructs Kimimaro.

"I am on my way to barrier maintenance duty." He steps out of the house.

"You are right on time, Akihito! I will teach you the method."

Izuna comes across Fusao, who guides him towards the location of the barrier squad.

Both of them approach the center of the village, near the giant tree.

"This giant tree serves as the foundation of this village. It not only supports the weight of the entire mountain on itself but also acts as a core for the barrier.

The roots of this tree are spread throughout this mountain range and thus act as a chakra circuit to maintain the barrier."

Fusao explains the details of the barrier to Izuna.

Whoosh… whoosh…

Both of them scale the giant tree as they land on one of its branches. There are two giant blue leaves on the branch.

Swish… swish…

Fusao makes some One-hand signs as he places another hand on the leaf.

Swoosh…

A surge of chakra rises from Fusao's body and enters leaf.

Hmm…

Izuna curiously stares at the process as he activates his Sharingan.

"This is…"

His eyes widen in surprise as various chakra veins and circuits appear in his vision.

The chakra veins on the leaf absorb Fusao's chakra and the chakra circuit circulates it through the tree before spreading the chakra to the roots.

'Wonderful… truly wonderful… I have never seen such a method of creating barriers. There are no fuinjutsu seals involved at all. Not only this, but this entire tree; I have never seen such a thing even in the Mount Myoboku; Ryuchi cave, or Shikkotsu Forest.'

Izuna curiously surveys the entire tree.

"It's your turn now."

Fusao interrupts Izuna's thoughts.

"I…"

Izuna helplessly stares at his left arm.

"…"

Fusao notices the missing left arm of Izuna.

"Eh!… why don't you try to place your leg on the leaf? Just make the necessary hand signs with your right hand." He suggests.

"That could work." Izuna nods his head and follows the instruction.

Swoosh…

A massive surge of chakra rises from his body as the tree greedily absorbs the entire chakra.

"This… at this rate, this tree will suck me dry."

Izuna's expression turns ugly as he wrestles control of his chakra.

'I have been sucked dry for almost ten years. My chakra control has grown to the point that I won't even waste a single drop of my chakra.'

He directs a small amount of his chakra to the tree.

An hour later,

Huff… Huff…

Fusao breathes heavily as the tree continues to absorb his chakra.

"You don't look so well." Izuna notices the pale expression of Fusao.

"It's nothing." Fusao shakes his head.

"I have to do my share to protect the village. Also… it's not like we have to do it every day. We need to do this once per week… as for the rest of the days; someone else will take over. Huff… huff…"

Fusao assures Izuna as he pants.

Hmm…

Izuna activates his Sharingan as he inspects Fusao's body.

'The rate at which his chakra is draining, I am afraid he will suffer from Acute Chakra Deficiency (ACD) within next two hours.

His body will lose its bodily function, and it will compensate the rest with his vitality. What accurate calculation? Three hours is the perfect time to stop.'

Izuna analyses the situation as the gears in his mind churns.

'Don't tell me, I have come across another trouble. Am I a trouble magnet or something? Why does every unknown trouble of shinobi world cling to me?'

Izuna closes his eyes as he muses over the matter.

'Still… if my hunch is right, which usually is. Then something is fishy about this place. Not just fishy; I can smell the entire fucking ocean here.'

Sniff… sniff…

Izuna takes a deep breath as a soothing fragrance enters his nose.

Haah…

He takes a deep breath as his body relaxes automatically. Alarms ring in Izuna's mind as it lowers his guard.

'What's going on? What's the deal with this fragrance? Why my body is acting strangely?"

Fusao notices Izuna's tense expression and chuckles.

"There is nothing to worry about. This is the scent of the glaze snow lilies grown in the nearby pond. These lilies produce a fragrant aroma which soothes mind and body."

Fusao takes a deep breath and calmly closes his eyes.

'Glaze Snow Lily?! It sounds like some sort of chakra laxative. Well, whatever it is; I will face it head-on.'
