Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 170 ---

"It's just like the real world..." Yunlong solemnly looked at the blood in his hand.

The other anbu roots came out from their hiding spots and swiftly surrounded them with a couple of jutsu ready in their hands.

"Wind Release: Breakthrough."

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullets."

"Water Release: Waterfall Crush."

Three different jutsu swiftly flew toward Yunlong and Obito, which surrounded them with no way to dodge.

Uchiha Obito casually used his Kamui and looked at the incoming jutsu without a slight worry because those attacks won't affect him.

However, he slowly moved his gaze to Yunlong and quietly observed him with a somewhat curious expression behind his mask because he might have found a few secrets about this person.

'Uchiha Izuna... How did you know about me?' Uchiha Obito seriously wondered because even if this person is really from the past and personally knows Uchiha Madara, that does not explain about him knowing about his secret.

'This doesn't make sense.' He continued because Yunlong had never met him before.

"It doesn't matter." Yunlong suddenly opened his mouth. "When we made our first eye contact, your secret was revealed by my eyes."

"Huh?" Uchiha Obito's eyes widened slightly.

Yunlong gently performed a horizontal slash with his katana and released a faint sword intent, which swept over the forest around them.

Slash! Boom!

The trees disappeared from Obito's sight and what was left was a grounded field with a few scattering tree's barks.

'I'm not at my best, but this is okay, I guess?' Yunlong thought while throwing the katana back to Obito.

"There, you can have it back." He indifferently said.

Uchiha Obito's mouth twitched a little, but he couldn't find a single clear clue about this person at all, and even after he performed such skilled swordplay, his information about him was still minimal.

'I need Black Zetsu's help.' Uchiha Obito thought while using his Kamui to catch the incoming katana.

[You have killed one anbu root]

[You have killed one anbu root]

[You have killed one anbu root]

[You have killed...]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

Yunlong abruptly felt his stomach rumbling for some reason, and a surge wave of satisfaction washed his whole body, which resulted in his eyes becoming crimson red for a second.

'They were coming at me first, but whatever.' Yunlong thought while looking at a few scattered dead bodies.

[You have gained a few similar skills]

[Wind Release: Breakthrough 3x]

[Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullets 4x]

[Water Release: Waterfall Crush 2x]

[Earth Release: Earth Wall 2x]

'Fuse them.' Yunlong instructed while turning around and looked at Obito, who had been eyeing him for a few minutes.

They quietly stared at each other for a good two minutes, and a white person with moss-like hair suddenly came out of the ground.

"Zetsu," Obito said while looking at the white person.

"Danzo has moved toward you. We should retreat because it seemed Itachi finished his job already." White Zetsu responded while slightly peeking at Yunlong.

"This person is?" He asked with a confused tone.

"He's Uchiha Izuna, but we need to confirm it first." Uchiha Obito calmly answered, which caused Yunlong to smirk a little.

"Even though he's highly suspicious, I couldn't forcibly defeat him." He added, which caused White Zetsu to look at Yunlong with a curious gaze.

"Oh... I see." White Zetsu sensibly nodded and drowned himself back to the ground, leaving Yunlong and Obito alone.

Uchiha Obito inwardly released a sigh because White Zetsu would contact Black Zetsu to confirm this person's true identity for him.

"Follow me." Uchiha Obito moved away toward the Uchiha Clan.

Yunlong was quiet for a moment and moved his gaze to the night skies. "It doesn't feel like an illusion at all..." He mumbled.

He followed Obito into the Uchiha Clan and heard a loud screech of a boy abruptly echo through the clan compound.

"ITACHI!"

Yunlong and Obito moved their gazes toward the particular house and witnessed a dreadful scene between two brothers.

"Become stronger, Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi calmly stood while showing his eternal mangekyou sharingan to his younger brother.

"If you have reached this eye's height, find me and kill me if you can." He indifferently declared, and Sasuke immediately fainted because he wasn't strong enough to handle that kind of Genjutsu.

Uchiha Itachi's silhouette disappeared in white smoke, and he landed above the house with a cold expression plastered on his face.

"The world turned upside down for him in a day." Uchiha Obito commented while standing on a tall stone pole.

Yunlong wasn't responding to him and looked at Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto with a weird gaze.

'They actually still could be saved.' He suddenly thought.

He doesn't know if healing and his pills would work in this world or not, but there is no harm in trying.

[Inventory have gained a sub-function: Spiritual Alteration]

[Every Item in your Inventory have obtained spiritual application, host]

'What?' Yunlong was surprised because his system kept gaining new functions for some reason.

'Neo, what happened to you?' He asked.

[...]

[After scanning this illusion realm, I have adapted myself to assist you more, host]

[This world consisted of a pinnacle illusion law combined with time and space law. It would take me a few days in this world's time to scan everything thoroughly]

[Please survive until that day because when the scan concluded, I'll probably be able to find a way out]

[However, if you want, you can try to finish this trial on your own, host]

'I see... Then, do your best, Neo.' Yunlong instructed.

[72:00:00]

[71:59: 59]

Yunlong looked at the system panel and muttered, "Three days, huh."

He slightly flicked his finger, and whitish golden pills appeared in his hand, which he quickly took from his Inventory.

"Hmm..." Yunlong looked at the pill and noticed it was slightly transparent like a ghost object, but he somehow could still touch it.

A small piece of his handkerchief parted away from his body and turned into a thin golden needle, which swiftly flew into Uchiha Itachi's house.

Yunlong teleported the pills toward Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto's mouths and slowly repaired their bodies.

'Golden Breath Pill.' Yunlong observed his pill's effect, which would repair one's body even if one was on the verge of death.

"What are you doing?" Uchiha Obito suddenly questioned.

"Nothing." Yunlong smiled at him.

Uchiha Obito shook his head and used his Kamui to teleport them away from this place. Yunlong didn't resist this time, and they disappeared into thin air.

Yunlong unknowingly set a teleportation spot using his martial soul, and it was a couple of kilometers away from the Leaf Village.

It would teleport Fugaku and Mikoto in a few minutes, which he does to save them, even though there would be contradiction later on.

--- Unknown Forest ---

Yunlong came out of Kamui's World and landed on the muddy ground, which caused him to frown.

"I won't trust you until we prove that you are Uchiha Izuna." Uchiha Obito commented while landing beside Yunlong."Nevertheless, it doesn't mean you are free."

"You have two choices."

"Follow the organization or quietly die in our hands."

"Organization?" Yunlong cluelessly responded.

A man with orange hair and a few weird piercings suddenly walked toward them.

"Akatsuki." He calmly said while looking at Yunlong with a pair of purple eyes.

"Oh, You're?" Yunlong asked with a confused gaze.

The person firmly stood in front of Yunlong and intently looked at him with the purple eyes, which possessed concentric circles covering the eyeball.

"I am Pain."
