Chapter 31 - Fire Release: Heavenly Prison

"Help! Quick, help!"

"Damn monster!"

"Stop him! Don't let that guy get close to the Village!"

Screams echoed through the night. Under the moonlight, an orange-red blur flickered like a ghost, constantly taking the lives of the surrounding Ninja.

"Disperse quickly!"

A kunai with an explosive tag shot out with a sharp whistling sound. Naruto, who was about to slit the throat of a Grass Ninja wrapped in his fox tail, paused.

Then he tilted his head, raised his hand, and caught the kunai.

He removed the explosive tag and stuck it on the Grass Ninja, then flicked his fox tail, throwing the Ninja into the crowd. With a casual flick of the kunai, he pierced the chest of an incoming Grass Ninja.

His actions were fluid and seamless, a perfect re-enactment of the classic battlefield rose in less than the blink of an eye.

With a loud explosion, several Grass Ninja flailed their limbs like broken dolls, spiraling into the sky amidst the flames.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

A mud dragon, over ten meters long, rose from the ground and lunged menacingly towards Naruto.

"Dragon Bullet? Who can't do that?"

Naruto scoffed, leaped into the air, dodging the Earth Dragon's attack range, and landed on a thick tree branch.

Then, a smile played on his lips as he formed hand seals: "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"

Crack, crack—

The large tree beside Naruto suddenly deformed violently, growing wildly, and instantly transformed into a hundred-meter-long giant dragon!

The giant dragon stood on its four claws, rising from the ground, its head held high, as if roaring silently.

Naruto stood with his arms crossed on the Wood Dragon's head, his expression disdainful, with the full moon behind him, making his already defiant posture seem even more arrogant!

"You guys used Ninjutsu first! Kill!"

As his voice fell, the Wood Dragon swung its tail, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

The Grass Ninja were sent flying, spitting blood and screaming endlessly!

"Wood Release! This is Wood Release!"

"Is it the Ninjutsu of the Hokage? Damn it! What kind of monster is this brat?!"

"Don't be afraid! Use Fire Release!"

In the crowd, a Jonin roared, quickly forming hand seals: "Fire Release: Ghost Lantern!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Fireballs shaped like evil spirits bloomed in the darkness, flying towards Naruto.

Naruto snorted with a laugh, extending a fox tail.

With a casual sweep, a hurricane surged, and several fireballs dissipated like candles in a strong wind.

Before Naruto could comment, several more figures instantly appeared, attacking Naruto together.

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Fire Sword!"

As the figures crossed paths, flames burned brightly in their hands, condensing into long swords that stabbed at Naruto from all directions.

"This Jutsu, it's finally here…"

A barely perceptible smile played on his lips. Sensing a long-lurking malice in the shadows, Naruto leaped up, dodging their attack range, and shot towards the direction of that malice.

"Now!"

In the darkness, a figure suddenly shot out, striking Naruto's chest with a palm.

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison!"

Bang!

The moment the palm struck Naruto's chest, a huge force suddenly sent Naruto flying.

Burning Fire Release Chakra entered Naruto's body, spreading towards his limbs.

Feeling the restrictive intent of that Chakra, within his mental space, Nine-Tailed raised his eyelids and snorted disdainfully.

Having been inside Naruto for so long, he had come to understand that all external forces invading Naruto's body, except for him, the Tailed Beast, which for some reason hadn't been erased, whether Chakra or abilities, would eventually become nourishment for this kid's growth!

Moreover, in the depths of his mind, Nine-Tailed had a strange feeling.

This feeling was absurd, but it came from his own beastly instincts.

It was as if it was telling him that if it weren't for Naruto's recognition, he might truly be completely erased like those other Chakras!

This kid devours Tailed Beast Chakra like it's food. His Chakra has already surpassed mine. Please, for the love of everything, stop feeding me!

"Not bad, it was worth getting slapped…"

Naruto's lips twitched. He glanced at the Grass Ninja surrounding him from all directions and slowly stood up.

"This is as far as you go, kid!"

The man who had just slapped Naruto stepped forward. Moonlight shone on a fair, handsome face.

It's him, indeed…

Naruto patted the dust off himself.

In the movie Blood Prison, what was the name of that Hozuki Castle warden again?

Never mind, he's not a very important guy anyway.

However, he truly coveted this Chakra confinement Jutsu, which was the main reason he was willing to waste time with these Grass Ninja.

At such a young age, with such powerful strength, Naruto didn't believe these Grass Ninja wouldn't be tempted.

If there was even a slight chance of capturing him alive, these guys would swarm him, trying to get their hands on this power, which was a common problem in the Ninja World.

And while the Grass Ninja Village was insignificant, it wasn't without good things.

For example, the Box of Ultimate Bliss, the Bloodline Limit of Dragon Life Reincarnation, and then there was this guy's Fire Release: Heavenly Prison.

This Jutsu's ability is quite good. The user will have track-like patterns appear on their body, and once they try to manipulate Chakra, they will be backfired by the Jutsu, causing severe pain or even unconsciousness.

If they forcibly manipulate Chakra, or move beyond a certain range of the caster, the Heavenly Prison Jutsu will transform into fiery chains, burning the affected person to death.

It's worth mentioning that this Jutsu is ineffective in water, and Sage Mode can also bypass the Jutsu, but neither can undo the Jutsu.

As long as the mark exists, the Jutsu will continue to exist, and only the caster themselves can undo it.

It's a very practical confinement Jutsu, but it probably has little effect on a Jinchuriki in Tailed Beast Mode. However, this guy seems to have an even stronger upgraded version…

Thinking of this, Naruto flicked his tail, and red and blue colors bloomed at the tip, condensing into a massive Tailed Beast Ball.

"Damn it, what's with this Chakra? Even Lord Mui's Heavenly Prison didn't work…"

"It's a Tailed Beast Ball…"

The man who had just attacked Naruto's face changed: "Not good! This guy is a Jinchuriki! Cover me!"

"Cover Lord Mui!"

"Die!"

Several Ninja swarmed forward, rushing towards Naruto. Naruto dispelled the Tailed Beast Ball, and his figure flickered, feigning an attempt to break out of the encirclement.

Suddenly, the figure who had just attacked him rushed out again, moving incredibly fast, and struck Naruto's chest with another palm.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Heavenly Prison!"

The moment the palm touched Naruto's chest, in the shimmering moonlight, Mui suddenly saw the playful smile on Naruto's handsome face, behind his golden bangs.

This brat… did he intentionally let me hit him?!

Bang!

With a muffled thud, this time Naruto didn't fly backward. Instead, he executed a nimble flip, sending a flying kick to Mui's face. Mui instantly became a cannonball, spitting blood as he flew backward.

'Negative buff detected: Fire Release: Great Fire Heavenly Prison! Effect: Chakra confinement! Erased! Acquired Fire Release: Great Fire Heavenly Prison…'

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison!"

Bang!

Red light flickered in Naruto's palm. He raised his hand and slapped away a Grass Ninja rushing from his side.

"Is that… Lord Mui's Heavenly Prison?"

"He learned it just by seeing it?"

"Don't joke! How is that possible!"

Seeing the flickering firelight in Naruto's palm, the Grass Ninja's faces were filled with shock.

"It's impossible to win. This guy… is indeed a monster!"

"Monster? How rude…"

Naruto chuckled, gently patting his stomach: "Since you like calling people monsters so much, then I'll let you see a real monster…"

"Let's go, Kurama!"
