Wind Release and Fire Release collided, and a strange, blood-red smoke billowed up.
The blood-red smoke, boosted by the explosion, quickly spread out, instantly engulfing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, who were unable to dodge in time.
The five people watching the battle around them were all a bit confused by this scene.
Shikaku: What's going on? Why did Fire Release and Wind Release colliding turn into this?
Strongest Clan Head: I don't know. Is this a special effect of the virtual world?
Inoichi: I don't think so. Let's keep watching!
Choza: Shikaku, Inoichi, are we still going to try and take this territory?
Hearing Akimichi Choza's words, both of them simultaneously rolled their eyes, thinking, "Look who's fighting over this territory; it's the ruthless Danzo and the Third Hokage."
Although Danzo had said earlier that the virtual world was separate from reality, and one's real-world status didn't matter here, none of the people present took that seriously.
After all, if they left the virtual world and returned to reality, and the higher-ups made things difficult for their family or family members, it wouldn't be worth it.
Just as they were wondering what the red smoke was, it dispersed, revealing Danzo standing and Hiruzen Sarutobi lying on the ground, unable to move.
"Hehehe, Hiruzen, you're too naive! Did you think my Wind Release was just ordinary Wind Release?"
Hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen also had a sudden realization.
"You... your Wind Release is poisoned!"
"Not so dumb after all!"
As he spoke, Danzo pulled a wooden kunai from his lower back. He had carved it from wood on his way here, and though it was wooden, it was extremely sharp after being polished by Danzo's wind-attribute Chakra.
Hearing their conversation, Shikaku, the smartest of the observers, also had a sudden realization.
Shikaku: So that's how it is. The Ninjutsu learned here are similar to those in the real world, but also different, because with skill points, we can change the nature and attributes of Ninjutsu.
Hearing Shikaku's words, the other four all nodded.
The Ninjutsu they had learned with skill points were mostly existing Ninjutsu from reality; their imagination was simply a bit lacking.
The idea of adding poison attributes to Wind Release was due to Danzo's experience playing virtual games for a considerable time before.
At this moment, Danzo was very pleased. After all, he had won this battle, which meant this area would now belong to him, and he could also kill Hiruzen.
If a character dies, their level and experience will decrease to a certain extent.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi died once, it would be almost impossible for him to reclaim this area.
Danzo held the wooden kunai. He first gave a chilling look at the five people watching on the side, then walked towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Seeing Danzo's threatening gaze, the five observers remained silent.
It was still the same sentiment: they absolutely had to separate reality from the virtual, or the village elders would make things difficult for them.
Seeing Danzo about to eliminate the Third Hokage, the five pretended not to see, turning to leave in unison, intending to find other places to establish their own territories.
Since entering the virtual world, the clan heads of the five great Konoha clans had discovered its benefits.
Here, they could experience the feeling of battle without dying in reality.
On the battlefield, the biggest factors in a Ninja's death were insufficient combat experience and lack of combat intelligence.
With combat experience and combat intelligence, there would be a much higher chance of survival, at least in cannon fodder wars.
In reality, they could at most practice basic combat, not engage in actual killing, but here, they could fight however they wished.
Therefore, the clan heads of the five Ninja clans all planned to open up a territory for their own clan in the virtual world.
At that time, it would be more convenient for both pioneering and guiding new members.
As the five Ninja clan heads left, Danzo shot a kunai towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was paralyzed and temporarily unable to move.
The kunai pierced Hiruzen Sarutobi's throat, and Hiruzen Sarutobi died on the spot.
"Hmph! Still trying to fight me!"
With a cold snort, Danzo walked towards Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse, intending to loot it!
But just as he walked less than three steps forward, his feet suddenly trembled, and then a sharp stone pillar quickly shot out from the ground, directly piercing Danzo's chest.
In the Hokage Office.
The Third Hokage took off his virtual helmet with great displeasure, thinking, "Danzo, you really are treacherous!"
"Hmph! You, in your triumph, probably didn't expect my backup plan, did you!"
During the previous battle, as the Third Hokage exhaled the Great Fireball Technique, he immediately performed another hand seal, using this trigger-type Ninjutsu that he had pondered for a long time.
Such Ninjutsu naturally didn't exist in reality.
But after creating it with skill points in the virtual world, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt like he could try using it in the real world as well.
In the virtual world, as Ninjutsu were created, their various principles also appeared in his mind.
As the Ninjutsu Professor, Hiruzen Sarutobi found it very easy to understand these principles.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and began to form hand seals.
Soon, a thread-like Chakra appeared at his feet, and this Chakra quickly drew an irregular circle not far away.
"Hmm? It really works!"
To test if the Ninjutsu was successful, Hiruzen Sarutobi created a Shadow Clone and stepped onto that circle.
Just as the Shadow Clone's foot entered the circle, a sharp stone spike suddenly rose from the ground, piercing the Shadow Clone into a puff of smoke.
After discovering that the Ninjutsu principles from the virtual world could actually be applied to reality, the Third Hokage paid even more attention to this virtual helmet and the virtual world.
In fact, it was also fortunate that he was Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the Ninjutsu Professor; others probably wouldn't be able to convert Ninjutsu from the game into real-world Ninjutsu.
Actually, the Ninjutsu created through imagination in the game were all analyzed and parsed by Grey Wolf's AI, which then determined the required points and converted them into Ninjutsu principles.
Naturally, the Ninjutsu principles provided by the AI were created within the framework of the Ninjutsu system of the naruto world itself.
Grey Wolf had long considered that someone might create real-world Ninjutsu from the principles given in the game.
He had also discussed it with Naruto, but Naruto didn't see any problem, because powerful Ninjutsu were still Bloodline Limits, as the Naruto world was ultimately about bloodline and ancestry.
Single-attribute Ninjutsu like Wind, Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Water created by ordinary Ninja were not considered much.
Moreover, the number of people in the entire Ninja World who could create Ninjutsu from the absurd principles given in the game probably wouldn't exceed ten.
