First Move, Vaporous Pavilions

Ascending to the heavens?

That is a privilege belonging to the gods! It is true that the members of the Shazhou Team possess many bloodlines that transcend imagination and have stockpiled various technological equipment, but in the domain of the sky, they have few achievements. Currently, only John, the boxer who randomized into the Space Bombardment avatar, can achieve brief levitation by virtue of his unique traits.

The entire scene fell silent.

Everyone looked up, silently watching Fang Xiu being lifted by an invisible force, their hearts surging with turbulent waves.

The words that needed to be said had already been spoken; what remained was only battle. Since the Main God had sent down a trial... there was only the path of passing it successfully.

Death does not belong to the Uchiha!

"The effect of the Rinnegan's attraction and repulsion?"

Speaking, Emir, who had always considered himself a chaser, suppressed the longing in his heart and analyzed casually: "It might be related to Earth Release—Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique, that should be the name. It can significantly reduce the weight of matter, and can also serve to increase speed, or even reduce one's own weight to fly freely in the air."

"Mom!"

"Come out and look at God..."

"No, that's an alien!!"

Meanwhile.

On the top floor of a skyscraper in the distance, two children guarding a telescope happened to witness this scene—because Fang Xiu overlapped with the original position of the moon.

"The arrival node is good; I like to take the initiative."

Whispering in his heart, ignoring everything in the outside world, Fang Xiu appeared nonchalant as he slowly formed a seal—

Genjutsu: Mirage of the Steaming Pavilion.

It is said that one should live off the sea if one lives by it; since there is a geographical advantage, why not use it? One must know that from night until dawn, it is the time when water vapor is dense and sea fog is generated. He could easily use this as a carrier to create a massive mirage.

And the consumption of chakra was not exactly terrifying.

Of course, if there were a suitable summoning beast, fighting would be even easier...

Thump! Thump! Thump! Accompanied by an abnormal vibration frequency from the coastline, thick fog gradually formed, its speed visible to the naked eye.

—Mirage of the Steaming Pavilion does not just use the principles of light refraction and reflection to create a mirage to restore physical phenomena; it also adds a large amount of Yin Release power created from nothing.

To be honest, even with the single Rinnegan, standing at a higher bloodline level to overlook and replicate the forbidden technique of the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, it still cost Fang Xiu a certain amount of energy.

This man, born of the Hozuki clan of the Mist, was a war powerhouse at the pinnacle of the pyramid in the conventional ninja power system! His overall combat style was characterized by being difficult to deal with, capable of buying a large amount of time—even if you told your opponent the moves, it was still troublesome to deal with! The Hydrification Technique ignores physical attacks, and if one encounters a Lightning Release expert, one can use Mirage of the Steaming Pavilion to confuse them, making them unable to hit the main body and wasting their stamina and energy in vain.

In this way, combined with the Secret Technique: Infinite Explosion Ninjutsu - Joki Boi, it was almost risk-free to let the opponent eat big explosions repeatedly. Even if once didn't work, there could be a second, a third, and countless times of pinpoint explosions! Want to crack it?

Either possess infinite power to directly change or destroy the entire battlefield terrain.

If Clover could blow up the Atlantic Ocean and physically erase it from the Earth, then Fang Xiu would kowtow and admit defeat; this thing would not be something the Shazhou Team could fight at this stage.

Or possess extremely strong sensory abilities to detect the chakra that the caster deliberately hides, such as Mind's Eye of the Kagura...

But, does Clover have it? Unless it is an extremely exaggerated wild instinct. In the original timeline of the Naruto World, Gaara, the Kazekage and physicist, had the home-field advantage of desert combat, plus Hozuki Gengetsu exposed his own personal information, only then did they catch the summoning beast Giant Clam, and subsequently used the gold dust left by his father to crack the follow-up technique—Joki Boi.

As thoughts turned, the Rain Tiger Freedom, which fell in a drizzle and blended perfectly with the fog, captured more information and transmitted it to Fang Xiu's cognition.

Sea waves surged into the sky.

A deformed giant hand appeared, waving casually, and several ships docked at the shore all sank.

However, after doing this, it seemed still unsatisfied, waving its huge and powerful torso at the air, like a low-intelligence creature with nowhere to vent, stirring up turbulent waves, the scene resembling the arrival of a natural disaster.

Starting with genjutsu to try to confuse the monster and win more combat opportunities was the plan decided from the very beginning.

Therefore, separated from Clover by a great distance, Fang Xiu, who perceived that the layout was having a positive effect, continued to form seals calmly.

[Secret Technique: Infinite Explosion Ninjutsu - Joki Boi]

A strangely shaped doll appeared immediately.

The veterans who had undergone multiple rounds of strengthening all had extraordinary eyesight and could naturally see many details. This was clearly a Q-version of the captain, with a mini Ninja Cat on top of its head! "Meow~"

The white cat wearing a forehead protector, looking very cute, let out a call and flew toward the depths of the thick fog, with the Q-version captain following closely behind.

The two matching dolls were oil on the outside and water on the inside. Once they moved violently, the oil would heat up rapidly, causing the water inside to evaporate in large quantities, leading to a steam explosion! Subsequently, it would cool down by turning into hail, shrinking in volume, preparing for the next explosion, and starting an infinite loop mode.

And the weakness... of course, there is one!

It is a technique developed by humans after all; for a period of time after each explosion, the main body will be relatively weak.

However, Fang Xiu's body could fully withstand it. The Hashirama Cells were not injected in vain, and those precious ingredients from different worlds that he had eaten also turned into nutrients, nourishing his physical body.

At this moment, the Clover juvenile, briefly trapped in the state of being controlled by genjutsu, took the damage head-on. Facing the cat's claws, it followed its instinct to counterattack, although this decision was not wise.

A tentacle popped out at high speed! The scene was similar to an anti-aircraft gun hitting a mosquito. The Shiromaru doll, which dodged by a hair's breadth, expanded rapidly. A violent steam explosion occurred at the gill part of the giant beast that looked like an ear, and the gale whistled across the entire sea surface...

Behind its head.

The Q-version Fang Xiu, who had briefly acted separately from the cat-shaped doll, also began to expand.

The scene was grand, so much so that the area formed by the thick fog and the Rain Tiger Freedom briefly formed a vacuum zone.

Unfortunately, no joy could be seen on Fang Xiu's face. He remained silent and began to form the second seal, starting a new round of explosions.

—Sure enough! Tang Tian, while manipulating the intelligent system to decipher the internet blockade, was secretly paying attention to the captain's demeanor to analyze the situation on the distant battlefield.

"Damn it, the difficulty of the Main God's intervention is high. Let alone sci-fi behemoths, even the low-level zombies seen everywhere in Resident Evil can awaken some strange abilities against the heavens."

Bang! Bang! Bang! The explosions followed one after another. Due to the superposition of power, the commotion grew larger and larger. Even through countless high-rise buildings, all members of the Shazhou Team began to hear sounds like muffled thunder.

The America National Guard stationed in the city, driving armored vehicles and tanks, lined up in neat rows and marched toward the thick fog that could devour life.
