Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

"Rasengan!" Naruto and his shadow clones simultaneously unleashed Rasengans, golden energy balls flying through the air like a meteor shower as they hurtled towards the little monster.

The roar continued, dust flew everywhere, and the little monsters were reduced to ashes under the powerful attack.

Seeing Naruto's immense power, Sasuke and Sakura cheered excitedly, feeling proud of Naruto's strength.

Shikamaru also smiled approvingly, secretly marveling at Naruto's limitless potential.

Even the usually aloof Gaara couldn't help but glance at Naruto a few more times.

After the battle ended, the smoke cleared, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

The group helped each other up, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.

Naruto returned to his original form, leaning weakly against Kakashi, but with a bright smile on his face.

"We won!" Sakura excitedly threw herself at Naruto, tears welling in her eyes.

"Yes, we won." Naruto gently stroked Sakura's hair, his heart filled with warmth.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, like a torn canvas, emitting an eerie purple light.

A series of low, guttural roars emanated from the crack, sending chills down one's spine.

Kakashi suddenly raised his head, stared at the crack in the sky, and said with a serious expression, "What is that...?"

Chapter 135 The Attack of the Black-Clad Ninja

The purple light, like an eerie eye, blinked slowly across the sky.

At the edge of the crack, space itself seemed to be distorted, emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

Kakashi took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as knives. "This crack is strange; we must investigate it thoroughly. Everyone, stay alert and follow behind me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened, and they followed Kakashi's footsteps, rushing towards the direction of the rift.

Along the way, there were jagged rocks, withered trees, and an unsettling smell of decay permeated the air.

Naruto clenched his fists instinctively, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his palms.

Sasuke pursed his lips, his Sharingan swirling slightly as he remained alert to his surroundings.

Halfway through their journey, the group took a short rest on a relatively flat hillside.

Sakura got up to stretch her stiff legs, but tripped over a protruding rock and cried out in surprise.

At the critical moment, Sasuke caught her with lightning speed. Sakura's cheeks flushed instantly, her eyes darting around, unable to look Sasuke in the eye.

Sasuke gave a haughty snort, quickly withdrew his hand, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

A few suppressed chuckles came from around them. Shikamaru shook his head helplessly. These two were really...

"What time is it? You're still flirting." Kakashi's voice carried a hint of warning, interrupting the delicate atmosphere.

"Everyone, take this time to rest and replenish your energy. We're about to have a fierce battle." Only then did everyone stop laughing and adjust their state.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from afar, growing more and more intense and piercing.

Kakashi suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing as he stared intently in the direction from which the sound came.

"coming!"

The dark swarm of insects, like a black cloud, surged in, blotting out the sun, and emitted a chilling buzzing sound.

These flying insects are not large, but they have sharp mouthparts that gleam with a cold light.

Everyone was on high alert, but Naruto grinned and quickly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Rasengan!" A rapidly spinning chakra ball formed in Naruto's hand, radiating a dazzling light.

Naruto suddenly hurled the Rasengan, which struck the center of the swarm of insects.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the swarm of insects was blasted to pieces, and broken limbs and wings rained down like rain.

"Naruto, well done!" Sakura shouted excitedly, her eyes full of admiration.

Kakashi nodded with satisfaction; Naruto's growth rate far exceeded his expectations.

Before they could even celebrate for long, a powerful surge of chakra came from the side.

A dozen or so black-clad ninjas appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the group.

"The ninjas of Konoha, this is the end!" The leading ninja's tone was icy, filled with murderous intent.

The battle is about to break out.

Kunai and shuriken flew through the air, colliding and creating intense sparks.

Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique, combined with the Rasengan, forced several black-clad ninjas back.

Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly, precisely capturing the enemy's movements, and each attack was incredibly fierce.

Sakura is responsible for medical care and support, using precise chakra control to heal her teammates.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" With a low shout, a huge earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking a wave of attacks from the black-clad ninja.

Amidst the rising dust, Kakashi's figure flashed by, the light of his Lightning Blade slicing through the sky, heading straight for the leader of the black-clad ninjas.

boom!

The deafening roar shattered a nearby boulder, which was then smashed to pieces by the ninjutsu.

The fierce battle made the air scorching hot, and the tense atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the eerie purple crack in the sky suddenly shone brightly, and a blinding beam of light shot down, enveloping a black-clad ninja.

The ninja trembled all over, letting out a painful roar, as a powerful energy surged within him.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with an eerie red light...

"This...this power..."

Chapter 136 Caught in the Trap, Movements Slowed

The black-clad ninja, enveloped by the pillar of light, let out a deafening roar, and a visible energy wave spread out from him.

Sand and stones flew, vegetation was destroyed, and even Kakashi's Lightning Blade was shattered by this energy.

The ninja's originally black eyes had turned an eerie blood red, and the veins under his skin were bulging, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

He suddenly threw a punch, and the violent gust of wind instantly shattered Naruto's several shadow clones, turning them into white smoke and disappearing.

"Retreat!" Kakashi shouted, grabbing Sakura and Sasuke and quickly retreating.

Naruto reacted a fraction of a second too slowly and was hit by the energy wave. He was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into a tree trunk, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Naruto!" Sakura exclaimed, wanting to rush forward to check on him, but Kakashi stopped her.

"It's too dangerous to go there now; his power is completely out of control!"

At that moment, the black-clad ninja let out another roar, and with a flash, he rushed towards Shikamaru at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

"Shadow Imitation Technique!" Shikamaru formed hand seals, attempting to control the rampaging ninja.

However, his shadow disappeared without a trace, unable to reach the other party at all.

"This guy's speed... is too fast!" Kiba's eyes widened, and Akamaru growled at his feet, his body trembling slightly.

The ninja threw a punch, which Shikamaru barely dodged, but the force of the punch still grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

Shikamaru was shocked; he had never seen such power before.

Even though he was usually lazy, his eyes were now filled with seriousness.

He gritted his teeth and tried again to control the other party with the Shadow Imitation Technique, but still failed.

Just at this critical moment, a figure suddenly blocked Shikamaru's path.

“Sasuke…” Shikamaru looked at Sasuke, who was standing in front of him, in surprise. His Sharingan spun rapidly in Sasuke’s eyes, reflecting the berserk figure of the ninja.

"Naruto!" Sasuke called out in a low voice, without turning around.

Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly, and the tomoe in his scarlet pupils connected together, emitting a strange light.

The rampaging ninja paused, his movements noticeably slowing down.

He seemed to be disturbed by something; his blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, revealing confusion and a hint of pain.

"Now, Naruto!" Sasuke shouted.

Naruto was already poised to strike, his hands forming a dazzling Rasengan. The blue chakra ball spun rapidly, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"Rasengan!" he roared, slamming the Rasengan in his hand into the ninja's chest.

With a muffled thud, the Rasengan struck its target squarely.

A burst of violent chakra erupted instantly, sending the ninja flying. He crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

His black robes were ripped apart, revealing his body covered in bulging veins, and his bloodshot eyes regained a sliver of clarity.

"We did it!" Sakura clenched her fist and shouted excitedly.

"That's great!" Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

Kiba whistled excitedly, and Akamaru barked happily a few times as well.

The crowd cheered, their excitement rising.

However, this joy did not last long.

The ninja struggled to his feet. Although he had been hit in the chest by the Rasengan, leaving a charred wound, his aura had not weakened much.

He roared again, his blood-red eyes lit up once more, and an even more eerie chakra fluctuation emanated from his body.

"It's not over yet!" Kakashi's face darkened, and he gripped the kunai tightly in his hand.

The ninja launched another attack, this time faster and with greater power.

Moreover, his attacks seemed to carry a peculiar energy; anyone hit by them would become sluggish, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, and others were all hit, their movements became sluggish, and they found it difficult to dodge the attacks.

The battle became even more difficult, and a tense atmosphere once again enveloped everyone.

Just as everyone was struggling to hold on, the crack in the sky suddenly changed.

The previously still crack began to slowly rotate, emanating a powerful suction force that seemed to devour everything.

Kakashi looked up at the sky, his expression suddenly changing.

"Oh no! That crack..."

Chapter 137 The Sealing Array Reactivated

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, a powerful suction force came from the sky, and everyone felt their bodies being pulled upwards uncontrollably.

The ground beneath their feet seemed to have turned into a sloping landslide, with trees, rocks, and even the air rushing toward the huge crack.

"Hold on tight!" Kakashi roared, gripping a boulder tightly beside him, veins bulging on his hands.

Others followed suit, searching for objects to anchor their bodies.

However, the suction force grew stronger and stronger, and some people began to lose their grip, their bodies slowly floating upwards.

Naruto felt his body was floating, as if he would be sucked into the endless darkness at any moment.

He looked down at his feet; the ground had become blurred, with only the enormous cracks like the gaping maw of an abyss, silently waiting to devour them.

Fear surged through Naruto's mind like a tidal wave. He gritted his teeth and gripped a protruding rock tightly with both hands.

His knuckles were white from excessive force, and his nails were deeply embedded in the rock.

Just then, Naruto felt a powerful force awakening within him.

A scorching aura erupted from his body, and golden chakra enveloped him like flames.

"Aaaaaah!" Naruto roared, and golden chakra erupted instantly, forming a giant fox tail that slammed into the ground.

The immense impact dissipated the surrounding suction, and Naruto's body landed steadily on the ground.

He slowly raised his head, his golden pupils gleaming with unwavering determination.
