Nine-Tails Appears, Shocking the Entire Continent

[The Naruto Continent was vast, with clearly defined regions. The Five Great Nations stood in opposition, while countless smaller nations, islands, and secret realms were scattered in every direction.]

[The continent's living beings had a chance of awakening exclusive martial souls from birth. By cultivating Chakra, they could develop Ninjutsu according to their own training, continuously evolving and transforming it into the foundation of their strength.]

[The Five Great Nations were: the Land of Fire, Land of Wind, Land of Lightning, Land of Earth, and Land of Water!]

[Those who wielded extraordinary power were called Ninja! The Ninja of every nation gathered within villages established by their respective countries! The leaders of those villages were known as Kage!]

"I never expected the Naruto Continent to be divided into five great nations, with countless smaller nations standing alongside them!"

"With so many powers intertwined, how frequent must their wars have been? On our Douluo Continent, just two empires facing each other have already caused endless conflict!"

"They actually had Ninjutsu instead of soul skills! But what kind of ridiculous name is that?"

"They didn't cultivate Soul Power, but Chakra? Wasn't that just making things up?"

"And Ninja! Why were they called that?"

"Hahaha, their largest units were actually villages? Then wouldn't that Kage be a village chief?"

Spirit Hall's main hall

Bibi Dong was sharp-minded and immediately grasped the key point. She turned to Yu Zhi beside her and asked softly.

"Yu Zhi, according to the Sky Screen, the Naruto Continent did not have a Spirit Ring system. They cultivated through martial souls and Self-Created Soul Skills, calling those Self-Created Soul Skills Ninjutsu."

"Were there many such Ninjutsu in your homeland?"

Yu Zhi pretended to ponder, frowning slightly as he replied with feigned confusion, "Teacher, I really don't know much about that. I was still very young when I left my homeland for the Douluo Continent, so I never came into contact with such profound cultivation systems."

Of course I can't say I knew about them! What if they ask me to explain them? Wouldn't I be finished then?

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Sword Douluo stared at the Sky Screen, his eyes full of excitement as he could not help speaking.

"That's right, Fengzhi! My guess was completely correct. They did not follow the path of Spirit Rings and soul skills. They only honed their own martial souls, then paired them with exclusive Self-Created Soul Skills—the Ninjutsu mentioned by the Sky Screen!"

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, his gaze deep as he instantly weighed the pros and cons with the bearing of a sect master.

"If that is truly the case, then as long as their Ninjutsu are varied enough and powerful enough, they can completely make up for the shortcomings of lacking Spirit Rings and soul skills."

Sword Douluo nodded in agreement. "That is true, but Self-Created Soul Skills are extremely difficult to comprehend. It depends on whether the beings of the Naruto Continent possess the talent to continuously create powerful Ninjutsu."

Shrek Academy

Ning Rongrong lifted her delicate chin like a proud little peacock, smugly sweeping her gaze over everyone.

"See? I told you they definitely had other means to replace soul skills, but all of you kept looking down on them!"

Everyone was immediately left speechless, unable to refute her.

Only Tang San lowered his head in thought, his gaze solemn as he secretly pondered.

Could the Naruto Continent's Ninjutsu compare to my Tang Sect's secret techniques and hidden weapon arts?

Probably not!

The Tang Sect's inheritance had accumulated over a thousand years. Its techniques and hidden weapons were supreme arts refined by the ages. How could they lose to Ninjutsu of unknown origin from another continent?

The Sky Screen flashed again above the heavens, and majestic words slowly appeared.

[The Land of Fire lay in the central heartland of the Naruto Continent. Its waters and soil were mild, its resources abundant, and it was the birthplace of Ninja civilization across the entire continent.]

[Countless powers existed within its borders, with the Hidden Leaf Village standing at the pinnacle of military strength. The village's foundation was unfathomable, experts emerged in endless succession, and great clans stood everywhere, leading cultivation trends across the region.]

[The highest leader of the Hidden Leaf Village was respectfully known as the Hokage.]

[To directly display the true combat power of the Naruto Continent, the battle in which the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, defended his village will now be shown!]

[The first thing to enter view is the nighttime panorama of Konoha.]

[It was not a cramped little village, but a large, densely populated mid-sized city, shattering everyone's preconceived understanding of the word "village."]

[The buildings were arranged in orderly layers, brightly lit by countless lamps. Towering Hokage Rock stood within the village, where four statues of past Hokage looked down solemnly and imposingly upon the entire village.]

"Were all their villages that huge? That was practically larger than a small nation!"

"It looked pretty peaceful. Could there have been an internal rebellion?"

The Sky Screen continued.

[The space along an empty street in Konoha suddenly twisted and folded like rippling water, waves spreading outward in layer after layer.]

[A black figure silently emerged from the distorted space. He wore a one-eyed tiger-striped mask that concealed his entire face, exposing only one strange scarlet eye. Three tomoe slowly rotated within the pupil, radiating a chilling, gloomy, and incomparably ominous aura.]

[The Sky Screen marked: Uchiha Clan, martial soul: Sharingan! Level 93!]

[Coldness spread from his body, and even the surrounding lights seemed to dim slightly.]

[The Masked Man spoke in a low voice. His footsteps landed heavily as he abruptly pressed one palm against the ground and shouted coldly:]

["Summoning Jutsu!"]

[With a muffled boom, countless profound and intricate dark-red mysterious runes suddenly lit up across the ground. Their patterns crisscrossed and covered the entire street, while an ancient, savage aura soared into the heavens from their depths.]

[Billowing white smoke suddenly surged and erupted from between the runes, obscuring the surrounding view.]

[Amid the rolling smoke and dust, an enormous boundless shadow slowly emerged. A scarlet nine-tailed fox burst forth from the summoning formation!]

[Its body stood a hundred meters tall. Its mane burned like flames, its nine enormous tails swayed through the air, and its scarlet beast eyes were cold and violent. A savage aura from ancient times instantly swept through all of Konoha City, making hearts tremble and breaths freeze.]

[The Sky Screen marked beside it: Leader of the Nine Tailed Beasts, Nine-Tails]

[Equivalent to a soul beast with a million years of cultivation!]

[But the instant Nine-Tails landed, it was controlled. Its eyes took on the same Three-Tomoe pattern as the Masked Man's!]

[It threw back its head and unleashed a violent roar that shook the heavens.]

[With a casual swipe of its massive claw, rows of buildings ahead rumbled violently before shattering inch by inch. Entire structures instantly turned into dust and fragments that scattered with the wind.]

[It lashed its thick nine tails through the streets. Houses, courtyard walls, and street structures crumbled at the slightest touch. Broken stones and tiles flew everywhere, and peaceful Konoha was engulfed in flames and smoke in an instant. Cries of alarm and screams rose one after another as the tranquil night scene was torn apart by endless catastrophe.]

The horrifying sight of Nine-Tails appearing on the Sky Screen reached every corner of the Douluo Continent. The entire continent instantly erupted in uproar as everyone stared blankly at the hundred-meter giant fox, their faces filled with shock.

"It was already a Title Douluo-level powerhouse the moment it appeared?!"

"A million years? Did soul beasts of that level even exist?"

"That was terrifying!"

"What kind of martial soul was that? It could actually control a million-year soul beast?"

"Was Konoha going to be destroyed?!"

"Was that Ninjutsu? It could manipulate the power of space and even summon such a colossal creature from nothing! It was called Nine-Tails, right?"

"That Tailed Beast was far too savage and terrifying! Was this the true weight of a million-year soul beast? The eighty-thousand-year soul beast I once saw looked like a little chick before it!"

"Just a trace of its aura made me tremble!"

"It seemed we had truly underestimated the Naruto Continent. Such a heaven-defying beast could actually be forcibly controlled by someone!"

"What kind of martial soul were those eyes? How could they be so powerful?!"

"Could humans truly stand against such a monstrous beast?!"
