Chapter 180: Shennong’s Eight Gates and Armor (Ch 180)

The corridor, less than two meters long, was extremely dark and filled with a disgusting, sour, and rotten smell. On both sides of the corridor were rooms that resembled prisons and were surrounded by iron bars. The rooms were small, but several people were crammed inside.

The lights above the corridor were strangely dim, and there was a constant hissing sound of faint electric current, which made people feel extremely irritated and panicked.

In the small and cramped environment, the people imprisoned here were left with nothing but numbness. Even though Shisui and the others were standing not far away from them, they didn’t even bother to look at them, but just stared blankly at the ceiling.

Not only adults are locked up here, but also many elderly people and children. However, their expressions are surprisingly similar, like mindless puppets, and the despair emanating from their bodies is being continuously absorbed by the device.

They are more like caged animals than being called human beings.

“this……”

Naruto and Sasuke, who were still just children, had no idea of ​​the cruelty of the ninja world, let alone this even darker scene.

I can’t imagine these people returning to this kind of environment after a hard day’s work.

Looking at their pale skin, it was obviously caused by not being exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Suddenly, a window opened above each cell, and then a large mass of unknown paste fell to the ground.

When people heard the noise, another emotion finally appeared in their eyes, but this emotion was desire and madness.

They pounced on the paste on the ground without caring about their image, opened their mouths wide and kept swallowing.

Such a scene made Naruto feel his stomach churning, his pupils trembling, and his emotions fluctuating.

“This bunch of… beasts…”

Naruto was really angry and felt unprecedentedly angry about the behavior of this group of air ninjas.

In a trance, Naruto appeared in the sealed space, and was hugged by Minato and Kushina, who kept comforting him.

“Why……”

“Naruto, calm down.”

Minato spoke, trying to calm Naruto’s emotions. After all, he and Kushina saw everything from Naruto’s perspective, and were equally angry at what this group of people did.

“Oh, you humans are really ‘strange’. You call me a beast, but you do things worse than beasts. I have seen more people in my life than you have killed in a single war. Yet you still have the nerve to call me a walking scourge.”

Kyuubi emphasized the word “strange”, and the mockery and disdain in it were obvious.

“Kyuubi, shut up!”

Kushina glared at Kyuubi angrily, “Can’t you see that Naruto is in a bad mood right now? You are still fanning the flames. Are you still Naruto’s godmother?”

Although he was very unhappy, Kyuubi didn’t say anything else. After snorting, he lay back down again.

Perhaps it was the comfort from Minato and Kushina that worked, Naruto quickly adjusted his emotions, took a deep breath and said: “I’m fine.”

“Are you really alright?”

Minato looked at Naruto worriedly.

Feeling his father’s worried gaze, Naruto looked up and smiled.

“Godmother is right. Humans are very peculiar. Where there are good people, there are also evil people. What I have to do is to defeat all the evil people.”

Hearing this, Minato and Kushina smiled with relief.

The perspective shifted and Naruto’s attention returned to the real world.

At this point, everyone’s eyes turned to the nominal captain, Shisui.

Feeling their gazes, Shisui’s expression became solemn, and after taking a deep breath, he spoke in a deep voice.

“Since we have seen them, these people must be rescued. However, looking at their current mental state, it is probably useless even if we release them, so…”

Shisui’s eyes turned towards the device.

“Let’s destroy this thing first, and then we’ll go up and defeat everyone.”

“call……”

Might Dai, who was also shocked by this place, had a resolute look in his eyes. After exhaling, he came to the front of the device.

“If you see such evil and remain indifferent, you will be condemned by the youth.”

After saying that, Might Dai swung his well-tempered steel fists and punched the device in front of him one after another. In just a few hits, he smashed the device into pieces.

After doing all this, several people returned to the ground, but this time all they needed to do was to destroy everything they could see.

Where they couldn’t see, an invisible energy rose from the destroyed device, penetrated the ground, and flew somewhere.

Yue Yan followed Shennong and soon arrived at a cave.

“Your mayor lives in a cave? Is he a cave dweller? Or is this your mayor’s special hobby?”

Yue Yan couldn’t help but complain.

When Shennong heard this, he still had that disguised kind smile on his face.

“Maybe it’s the tradition of the mayor’s family. I’m not sure.”

“Then what about these heavily armed men? Could it be that your mayor is rich enough to hire so many guards?”

There are so many flaws that Yue Yan can hardly continue acting.

In response, Shennong smiled and did not answer.

When they entered Shandong, Shennong finally revealed his true face. He turned and looked at Yue Yan with a mocking expression.

“From what you just said, I should have guessed something, but you still followed me. I have to say, you are too arrogant.”

“Does this count as revealing your identity?”

Yue Yan rolled his dead eyes and continued to complain.

In response, Shennong shrugged indifferently.

“Let me introduce myself again, Shennong, the current leader of the Sky Ninja Village, welcome to Angkor Fortress.”

Looking at Shennong with his arms outstretched and a look of great pride, Yue Yan blinked in confusion.

“Angkor Fortress? Where is it? Why can’t I see it?”

“Well, the Angkor Fortress isn’t built yet, but as long as we take away all of your chakra and solve the core’s energy problem, the remaining shell will only take a little time.”

After saying that, Shennong waved his hand, and dozens of air ninjas armed with strange guns surrounded Yue Yan.

Looking at these air ninjas, Yue Yan was speechless.

“Don’t tell me, you think you can catch me with just these scumbags?”

Hearing this, Shennong chuckled.

“Of course not. I just want to use you to test the new weapons we made.”

As the words fell, these air ninjas pulled the trigger, and countless pyramid-shaped projectiles wrapped in detonating tags shot towards Yue Yan.

The moment the projectile approached Yue Yan, the detonating tag lit up, and then Yue Yan was enveloped by a series of explosions.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Yue Yan’s disdainful words were heard.

“It’s the detonating talisman again. Let’s see if we can have something new.”

“Sure enough, this thing is still too difficult to deal with a ninja of your level.”

Shennong slapped his forehead in annoyance, looked at Yue Yan, whose body was surging with golden thunder, and stepped out of the smoke and dust.

“But never mind. I have to deal with you myself anyway. You seem to be very familiar with that green melon-skin guy, so you should know this trick.”

As he spoke, Shennong raised the corner of his mouth.

“Eight Gates of Ninjutsu! The third gate! The Gate of Life! Open!”

Shennong, whose whole body was wrapped in light blue chakra and whose skin turned red due to the rapid flow of blood, clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

“It is worthy of being called the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu. Just three of the gates can bring such a powerful improvement. When combined with the secret technique I created, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger.”

After saying that, Shennong looked at Yue Yan.

“I will break your limbs next. I hope you don’t die too quickly.”
