When I came up from the hall on the first floor, I hadn't noticed the mural on the wall.

It is a relatively abstract mural, which depicts a gray-green plain, and the narrow gray-green plain is filled with all kinds of twisted and strange smoke.

When looking at this mural, I felt an unprecedented sense of space, as if I was looking at a real world through the murals on the wall.

And the closest place to Jiraiya in the space of this world is a mountain of corpses where blood is still flowing slowly.

The bottom of the mountain of corpses is covered with human bones, and there is a small amount of body tissue left on the bones, which looks like they were eaten and wiped clean by monsters.

On top of the mountain of corpses are human corpses dressed as soldiers, with huge claw marks on their heads and bodies.

Above the claw marks, the blood did not dry up, but flowed slowly.

Jiraiya repeatedly confirmed that he was not mistaken, the blood in the mural was indeed flowing!

Not only that, but the colors on the gray-green plains also flow slowly like fluids, and the smoke distorts into various shapes.

Just as Jiraiya was staring at this incredible mural, a hand suddenly stretched out from the mural.

Before he could react, his body had been hooked by his long arms to the position of his lower back.

In the next instant, Jiraiya and his arm disappeared completely.

...

The people of the Shenjing Gate, who had been hiding behind the corner of the hall on the first floor, trembled and curled up in the corner, not daring to make a single movement, nor daring to stick their heads out to look outside.

Although Jiraiya let him escape, the fight between Jiraiya and the monster went from the second floor to the first floor, blocking the only way through the side door.

Therefore, the people of Shenjingmen could only hide in an inconspicuous position and wait for the battle to end before escaping from the mansion.

Ever since he entered this mansion, the people of Kamii have felt very uncomfortable in their necks, as if something is choking their throats.

And after experiencing the fright just now, the people of Shenjingmen felt much more comfortable in their necks and throats.

A terrible thought came to the minds of the people of Shenjingmen.

Could it be that the monster has been hanging on to him since the first time he entered the mansion?

Thinking of this, the people of Shenjingmen hurriedly covered their necks with both hands to prevent it from being caught by some transcendent creature again.

But suddenly, the sound in the ears of the people of the Shenjing Gate seemed to calm down as if the dust had settled.

After a minute of waiting, there was still dead silence around.

At this time, the nervous Shenjingmen finally mustered up the courage, raised their bodies slightly, and turned their heads to look at the hall on the first floor, but they were surprised to find that there was not even a ghost in the hall on the first floor.

The hall on the first floor of the Luo Mansion, which was originally "lively", suddenly returned to dead silence, leaving only the heavy wheezing and heartbeat of the Shenjingmen people.

Could it be that the ninja himself ran away first?

He left me here?

The people of Shenjingmen unconsciously thought of the worst possibility in their hearts.

Where is he?

What about monsters?

Why is it all gone?

I'm going to run too!

The heart of the Shenjing Gate people, which was overly frightened and slightly broken, could no longer accommodate more thoughts, and with a dejected expression, he got up and was about to run to the opposite side of the hall on the first floor.

Just pass through the lobby on the first floor and then through the long corridor in front of you to reach the side door of the mansion and see the light of day again.

But as soon as he got up and ran two steps, the hypoxic paralysis caused by the long squatting position of the legs took effect.

The feeling of numbness and stiffness makes the people of Shenjing feel that their legs are not their own? It's like stepping on stilts and it's hard to control.

Kicking the air? The man of the Shenjing Gate fell heavily to the ground, splashing a puff of dust.

The jaw of the person of the Shenjing Gate smacked heavily on the floor of the hall? A mouth full of good teeth is almost all about to be swallowed out of two.

Intense pain stimulates the brains of the people of Shenjingmen? Temporarily regained some sanity

With all the strength of his body to prop up his upper body from the ground, the people of the Shenjing Gate began to observe the situation around them.

The spacious ground floor hall is empty? There are neither monsters nor ninjas.

Looks like you're safe for the time being.

Ignoring the slowly flowing blood on your gums? The people of the Shenjing Gate looked back directly at their legs.

These two legs are like they can't be called? I couldn't even stand up in a short period of time.

Damn it!

The people of Shenjingmen let out a resentful sigh in their hearts, and then quickly alerted their surroundings.

In the calm air of the hall on the first floor, the people of the Shenjing Gate looked around half-lying on their stomachs, and their eyes unconsciously fell on the huge mural on the wall next to them.

Moment? The heartbeat of the people of Shenjingmen is racing to the extreme? The expression is distorted to an exaggerated degree of fear.

The level of this fear even completely overshadowed reason, causing the people of the Shenjing Gate to scream again.

"Ahh

At this time, anyone should express their understanding and comfort to this exclamation of the people of Shenjingmen.

Because he saw an unbelievable picture in the frescoes.

The gray-green plains, countless human bones and corpses piled up to form a mountain of corpses, all under the eyes of the people of Shenjingmen.

But although the extremely spatial images and the creepy corpse mountain are terrifying enough, these images are not enough to describe beyond imagination.

What really made the people of Shenjingmen feel unacceptable was that there was a person standing next to the corpse mountain.

The man in the painting has long white hair? Wearing a red coat, he is tall and burly.

In fact? Until just now, the people of Shenjingmen were still in the same space as this person? The distance between the two is less than a meter.

That's right, the man on the mural...

It's Jiraiya!

...

Where is this?

Did you feel it in a moment just now? Having your own brain go blank? All thoughts vanished in an instant.

When you wake up again? Find yourself in an unknown land.

The ground here is gray-green, and all the land, including the land under Jiraiya's feet, is flowing slowly, and clouds of smoke with strange shapes are rising from time to time in the gray-green in the distance.

Jiraiya instantly noticed that this scene was very familiar.

That's what the mural depicted earlier!

In order to verify his idea, Jiraiya turned his head and saw the mountain of corpses that he also saw in the mural.

A small mountain of human bones and corpses emitted a strong stench and smell of blood, and it rushed to Jiraiya's nasal cavity.

Although the smell was pungent, it didn't cover my nose.

Because the smell of blood on the battlefield of the Great Ninja World War is no better than the smell here.

Am I being pulled into the mural by that monster?

How is this possible? This can't be some kind of illusion, right?

Although this monster is not supposed to use ninja illusions, as long as it can attack the five senses and make people hallucinate, it can also be called illusions.

It's like the statue that Konoha Village once had.

In that case, let's get rid of the illusion first.

Jiraiya stretched out his hand, wanting to make a mark that made his chakra disordered, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he found something amazing.

That is, his hand is as thin as a piece of paper, even thinner than a piece of paper.

To be more precise, Jiraiya's entire body has completely become a two-dimensional plane.

(The man in the painting also appeared in the Hokage anime, and the wandering ninja leader of the Bird Country used it, but it was just an illusion, a low-level illusion that even Naruto could see.) ）
