Chapter 154 - Spooky, spooy, skeleton. (1/2)

Looking at the trapdoor I was curious but at the same time apprehensive. just the fact that someone was able to hide from my senses should mean whatever did this is more powerful than me. But I am still very curious, well being cautious wouldn't hurt.

I moved the crates out of the way and then summoned a [Wooden Clone], the wooden clone nodded and went in the direction of the trapdoor, his steps so silent that it would spook anyone watching, his pacing slow and cautious and after finally reaching the trapdoor the clone slowly put his and on it and with a push he opens the trapdoor...

Nothing happens, I dispel the clone a let out my breath that I didn't even know I was holding. looking at the opened trapdoor I see something that absolutely stunned me...Fuinjutsu.

And not that little bit of fuinjutsu, no. It was something more, I can barely understand it and I can easily say that I am beyond a master of this craft. So this can only mean two things, the guy that made this was leagues above me in the area, meaning that I am trying to understand calculus while I was learning simple multiplication yesterday, meaning his Fuinjutsu is way more advanced than me. The other option is that this guy went on another branch of Fuinjutsu than me, I focused principally on smart sealing matrixes, so the guy could be specialized in other things outside of my area.

And analyzing a little bit more of these seals I can definitely say it's a little bit of both. Thankfully I am not that incompetent to not know what the heck these seals do. They are made to protect, seal, and reinforce. So there is probably something sealed here? an overpowered sentient sword perhaps? Or some kind of Necronomicon that corrupts the mind of people? any could be useful to me... well better check it out, I can always teleport out of there anyway.

Closing in the trapdoor I look down, and what is ee surprises me again a star leading towards, but what is surprising is the amount of Fuinjutsu on everything, the walls look almost black with the number of seals put on this place. Besides that the guy who made the seals made them very tiny, so he could put even more seals per cubic meter.

I simply jump down instead of slowly descending the stairs. I touched the ground without making any sound whatsoever, even without any fancy powers I trained a lot no be a real ninja in Anbu. Talking about my powers... I can't use them... No, I can't expel then from my body, for some strange reason I can't expel chakra from my body, using it internally is absolutely fine, so I could even boost my perception with Swift Release, or reinforce my body with chakra, using mokuton to heal faster is good too. But I can't expel anything from my body...

I tried using my Haki and I was left alone too, not unexpected. But I can't sense anything with my [Observation Haki], to my senses I am literally in some kind of void. I tried using my [Armament Haki] to harden, and it worked. I can safely coat myself with Haki at least. I tried making a [Fireball Jutsu] but even if I can mold my chakra and start the jutsu every time I try to spit it, it whiffs out.

Well, f.u.c.k. My combat effectiveness just got shot down hard. What a mess. Well, even if I can't use my [Observation Haki], I can at least use my norma senses normally. Seeing as I am already here I decided to explore a bit...

I started walking the seal-filled creepy corridor, I walked slow paying attention to everything. In these kinds of moments that I am thankful for my summoning contract changes, with my better eyesight I can easily see in this dark, with my better ears and nose too.

I walked and walked... But everything seems so calm, strangely so. I fell really n.a.k.e.d without my [Observation Haki], I was able to literally to see without eyes, and with my huge range of it, I was always prepared. But without it, I feel so exposed.

I don't know for how much time I walked in that long corridor. All I know it has been a long time, but this long time hasn't been for nothing, as I can feel that the corridor is slightly inclining downwards and to the right. A spiral it is.

I continued walking and walking, everything got more sinister and I don't know how to explain it properly, but there is something very strange in the air, something evil and sinister. More time passed, and I can safely say that my perception of time has been very screwed. It just felt like I was walking for days...

The wall is becoming more and more black, filled with seals to the brim I could barely see any concrete color of the wall. And after more time walking everything around me was completely black, filled with ink and Fuinjutsu to the brim.

It became more and more black until it started to become devoid of color... a Void like I've seen no other.

”Walking in the valley of evil and death, I fear no evil”.

Soon I see some light, after such a long time with just darkness and my deepest thought I was able to see some light. I didn't know that darkness could be such a terrifying thing. I walked slowly towards the light step by step...

The light grew bigger the closer I got to it. And soon after who knows how long I passed through the light.

The sight was beautiful beyond belief, grass plain until the eye couldn't see anymore. Such a nice place to fly... Yeah, I can still fly too, its an innate ability that doesn't sue chakra so no trouble there. But I still can't expel chakra from my body... What is happening?

I look back from where I came, there is a stone gate there now... This gate has a symbol of a strange tree floating atop of a black hole, there is a Sun too atop of the tree, but it is hollow like it can't shine yet... But besides the strangeness of this gate, this is where I exactly came from... there is definitely something amiss with yet, besides the strange design I can clearly feel the desire to protect this gate, it's like is something extremely precious to me... Something irreplaceable.

*Rattle*

Suddenly I hear the sound of some bones hitting against each other. I immediately look at the source, a skeleton running towards the gate. Alarm bells immediately soared through my mind, I merely bitch slapped the skeleton who turned into bone dust immediately.

A skeleton? strange, this whole place is strange. But I didn't have more time to think about anything as 10 skeletons appeared at my front running towards the rock gate. my strange protectiveness of the rock gate flared, and two punches sending shockwaves decimated the skeletons. Now that I noticed, they are just as strong as a normal a.d.u.l.t human... Peculiar.
