Chapter 56 - Ch. 56 Infernal Gate

Watching the back of his squadmate charging towards his opponent, a fan symbol on his back and lightning flowing from his hand, the blonde ninja had a smile beneath his fox mask seeing his 'rival' catching up with him.

Being taught rigorously by his mother since childhood, the blonde haired ninja graduated early and became a chunin before he could even get paired up with a team! With his squadmate final becoming a Chunin, he could finally take on more missions that could actually challenge him.

As his squadmate lightning connected to the large sand ball, the atmosphere suddenly changed as a vile and unfamiliar chakra sprang forth from the sand ball. The blonde ninja watched in concern as a malevolent and hatefully chakra poured out of the ball of sand when he suddenly felt sleepy.

As his eyes beginned to close and his mind begging to sleep, he saw thousands of white feathers pour out of the sky and finally understood what was happening.

'A Genjtusu!' Raising his hands together, The blonde ninja molded his chakra.

"Release!"

The very moment he said those words, the feathers around him disappeared as the sleepiness vanished from his body. This wasn't the last of his problems as he suddenly heard a small explosion and saw smoke pouring out of the hokages booth!

From out of the audience watching the Chunin exam, dozens of sand Ninja jumped up and began attacking Konoha ninja who managed to evade the genjtusu!

"Fox! Sasuke is chasing after Gaara, help him! That boys aura can only mean one thing, he is the jinchuriki of the sand villages, the 1 tailed tonuki!" The much older grey haired Kakashi said as he and Might Guy rushed the Sand Ninja.

"Understood!" The blonde shinobi yelled out beneath his fox mask as he pulled out a three prong kunai, ready to take on the tailed beast!

"I wish we were stationed to guard the chunin exams, not lookout duty"

"Come on man the Chunin exams happen twice a year, you've never complained before"

"But the previous exams didn't have Sasuke Uchiha, the boy trained by the wicked eye Fugaku, the genjutsu genius Itachi, Koizumi of the invisible blade, and Shisui the teleporter! Not to mention the boy was practically raise with Naruto Namikaze, the second coming of the yellow flash! Hes a genius taught exclusively by other geniuses!"

"You care too much about other peo-" *Woowoowoo!* The blaring sound of the warning sirens cut the man off.

Before he could even fully comprehend what was happening, he saw an extremely larger poof of smoke appear hundreds of feet away!

As the smoke cleared after few seconds, the guards watched in horror as a three headed snake was reveal! This being was larger than even the wall itself and slithered at an amazing speed.

Within just a few seconds of being summoned, the snake immediately charged forth at the wall and tore it down with it's colossal size, not even registering the paultry attack that Konoha guards threw at it!

Being in a world we're even the most incompetent genin could walk on walls, every village's walls had Fuinjutsu hidden within that prevent such an easy entry. Now with that wall torn down, hundreds of sand ninja hidden within the tree line rushed forward and could now invaded the village!

-------------------

As the circle of shadow clones all inhaled a deep breath, they unleashed a torrent of flames at their target.

Sitting within the large bonfire created by the shadow clones, a meditating Chiba could be seen! His skin was red not from the flames, but becuase he'd opened his seventh gate!

As the flames washed over him and he began to feel the all consuming pain of being burned alive, Chiba held through the pain with gritted teeth, continuing to use his Biokinesis to heal himself faster than the fire could damage him.

The moment the first volley of shadow clones fire jutsu was about to end, another group of shadow clones perfomed the same jutsu and encased Chiba in a ball of fire!

Sitting within the inferno of fire, Chiba began molding the chakra within himself to have the properties of fire and immediately began feeling the internal pressure building up.

Normal a ninja would turn their chakra Into an element and focus it onto a single point, like into their mouth for a fireball or onto their hands for Chidori. But chiba had different ideas!

Moulding his chakra into the fire element, Chiba began circulars the chakra through all seven if his opened gates! It felt like lava burning him away from the inside!

Chiba looked like he was going to be burnt alive when suddenly he began to expell fire chakra from every inch of his skin as he felt the pain disappear and an extremely warm feeling over took him.

Opening his eyes Chiba looked at the dozens of shadow clones raining fire jutsu onto him, only for their attacks to not only be ineffective, he actually felt his own fire absorb their jutsu and grow larger!

With a thought, all of Chiba's remaining shadow clones disappeared alongside their jutsu. Standing up from his scorched floor, Chiba look at the crimson red flames that clung to his body like armour with a smile.

Casually swiping his hand to the side, bullet like projectiles slammed into the wall of his simulated house before the wall quickly caught fire!

With a bright smile on his face, Chiba watched as the fire spread and threatened to burn the entire house before it disappeared, leaving a completely unharmed and prestige house wall and floor.

'Just 7 Seconds until the simulation had to reset, that attack must atleast be C grade in attack potency. As a projectile it obviously lost some power, that means my punches in this state should atleast be around an A ranked jutsu!'

Using his flickering body jutsu, Chiba appeared to teleport throughout his house, punching and shattering the stimulated wall and leaving burnt footprints into the ground.

'Moderate increase in speed compared opening my 7th gate, negligable increase in reaction speed compared to observation haki, but an immense physical strength increase! It appears im also completely immune to fire damage in this state!'

As the fire disappeared from his body, the boy collapsed to the ground gasping for air with a smile in his face.

"Note to self, the chakra flames consume all of the oxygen and prevent me from breathing. I could normally hold my breath for hours if I sat still, but I only ten minutes if I'm doing intensive fighting." As he sat on the floor panting heavily, Chiba could only look at the empty house full of his memories, and felt his loneliness beginning to rise once again.

It might have been just a few years for the outside world but not for Chiba, his overwhelming urge to see his family or anyone else was driving him crazy.

He was desperate for human contact and would do anything to have just a simple conversation!

If just 365 clones lived for an entire day, Chiba would receive a years worth of memories but Chiba had been creating thousands of clones each day!

The sheer amount of memories he was receiving forced Chiba to be more careful and considerate when using the jutsu, his mind was a jumbled up mess of centuries of memories. Chiba was even forced to use a genjutsu on himself to remember the faces of Koizumi and Itachi!

'Fire release, Infernal gate Mk1 is finally completed!... Time to begin learning a MK 2 transformation!' Having tasted the bitterness of stagnation, Chiba was constantly search for the next objective to complete.

'Learning MK 2 should be much easier than MK 1, but Ill probably need to create a jutsu that will prevent my clothes from being burned off first, I don't want to run around naked. Ill also need to figure out how to breath dur-

[WARNING! ⚠️ WARNING!]

[HOST'S BODY WILL BE ATTACKED IN 3 SECOND!]

[FORCEFUL AWAKENING! BODY NOT FULLY OPERATIONAL!]

Seeing the brief the message flashing through his system, a dumbfounded smile bloomed on his face.
