Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Kakashi felt his body growing heavier and heavier, and his chakra was being rapidly depleted.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing!" Kakashi gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

He knew that if they didn't find a way out, they would all perish here.

"Kakashi..." Yamato's voice was weak and feeble, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was swaying precariously.

Kakashi suddenly turned to look at Yamato, only to see wisps of black aura swirling around Yamato's body, like a persistent, insidious infection, constantly eroding his health.

"Hold on, Yamato!" Kakashi roared, a resolute glint in his eyes. "I will..."

"Have you found a way?" A cold voice sounded behind Kakashi.

Kakashi's eyes sharpened, lightning flashed in his hand, and the shrill cry of Chidori pierced the thick darkness.

"Lightning Blade!" he roared, slashing his condensed Lightning Release chakra fiercely at Kakuzu.

Kakuzu snorted coldly, and his black tentacles coiled together like venomous snakes, forming a sturdy shield that blocked Kakashi's attack.

The violent collision erupted in a dazzling light, and the shockwave uprooted the surrounding trees, sending debris flying everywhere.

Kakashi's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the flying sand and stones, nimbly dodging Kakuzu's attacks while searching for his opponent's weaknesses.

He wielded various ninjutsu with ease, including Water Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release, displaying dazzling brilliance on the battlefield like unpredictable magic.

Hidan, meanwhile, brandished his Bloodstained Crescent Scythe, relentlessly attacking Kakashi's companions.

His attacks were bizarre and ruthless, each swing accompanied by a piercing whistling sound that sent chills down one's spine.

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and the others fought hard, but gradually felt their strength waning.

Just then, Gaara moved.

He pressed his hands to the ground, and golden sand surged out like a surging tide, instantly enveloping the wounded ninjas and forming a solid defensive barrier.

The sound of the flowing sand, like a deep chant, was exceptionally clear amidst the chaos of the battlefield.

“Gaara…” Sakura looked at Gaara gratefully, her eyes glistening with tears.

Gaara didn't speak, but silently manipulated the sand to protect everyone completely.

His face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination.

A spark of hope ignited amidst despair, and the morale of the group was boosted.

Their fighting spirit was rekindled, and they resisted the enemy's attack even more tenaciously.

However, just when everyone thought they could withstand the enemy's offensive, a sudden change occurred.

Hidan let out a strange shriek, and his body suddenly became blurry, like a black lightning bolt, instantly breaking through Gaara's sand defense and rushing towards the unsuspecting Hinata.

"Hinata!" Naruto's eyes widened in horror, his heart sinking.

Without hesitation, he turned around and charged towards Hidan.

"Don't hurt her!"

Chapter 149 Two Powerful Members of Akatsuki Perish Completely

Hidan's ferocious smile magnified infinitely in Naruto's eyes. The blood-stained scythe sliced ​​through the air with a piercing whistle, and the aura of death enveloped Hinata.

Naruto felt his blood almost freeze. Everything around him seemed to slow down, except for the approaching scythe, which was so clear and real.

His heart was pounding violently, each beat deafening like a drumbeat.

The air was so heavy it was suffocating, as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"No!" Naruto roared, using all his strength to charge towards Hidan.

His figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt in everyone's eyes, moving at an unbelievable speed.

However, it was still a step too late.

Hidan's scythe grazed Hinata's body, and blood splattered.

Hinata let out a painful groan, and her petite body collapsed limply to the ground.

The bright red blood bloomed in Naruto's eyes, like the blooming red spider lilies, both alluring and tragic.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Naruto's world is now nothing but a shocking red.

He felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart tightly, almost suffocating him.

Anger, like a volcanic eruption, surged from the depths of his heart.

His eyes turned scarlet, with veins bulging in their sockets as if they were about to burst.

The surrounding air began to fluctuate violently, and a powerful burst of chakra erupted from Naruto's body.

The oppressive atmosphere was instantly torn apart by this powerful force.

The air was thick with intense anger and hatred.

Naruto slowly raised his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on Hidan.

"You..." he gritted his teeth, his voice low and menacing, "Damn it!"

An unprecedented power surged within him.

This force is stronger than anyone could imagine.

"This...this is..." Kakashi stared wide-eyed at Naruto in disbelief, "The Nine-Tails..."

Golden chakra burned fiercely like flames, enveloping Naruto and forming a giant phantom of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Naruto's hair stood on end, his eyes flashed with a terrifying crimson light, and his sharp nails gleamed like blades.

An oppressive aura swept across the entire area, making it difficult for Hidan and Kakuzu to even breathe.

"Is this... the power of the Nine-Tails?" Kakashi murmured to himself. He had never seen such powerful chakra before. Even the Fourth Hokage at his peak could not compare to it.

Naruto roared to the sky, his deafening roar echoing through the heavens, as if it would tear the entire world apart.

He flashed and transformed into a golden lightning bolt, instantly appearing in front of Hidan.

"Rasenshuriken!"

A massive golden Rasengan condensed in Naruto's hand, radiating a destructive aura.

Hidan didn't even have time to react before he was swallowed up by this powerful force.

With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently, and Hidan's body was blasted to pieces, his flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"Hidan!" Kakuzu cried out in horror, unable to believe that his powerful comrade had been defeated so easily.

Naruto ignored Kakuzu's terror; his gaze was cold and merciless, fixed on Kakuzu like the Grim Reaper.

"The next one is you!"

Golden chakra surged once more, and Naruto's speed was too fast for the naked eye to follow. He appeared behind Kakuzu like a ghost, and his sharp claws tore Kakuzu's body apart.

"Ah!" Kakuzu screamed as his body was torn to pieces, blood gushing out.

"Rachel!"

A dazzling bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, and Sasuke's figure struck like lightning, his Lightning Blade piercing Kakuzu's heart.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A massive fireball erupted from Kakashi's mouth, engulfing Kakuzu's remains.

Kakuzu, die!

Two powerful members of the Akatsuki organization perished completely under the combined attack of the group.

The crowd cheered and rejoiced, immersed in the joy of victory.

However, at that moment, a deep roar suddenly came from afar, and the earth began to tremble...

"What was that sound?" Shikamaru asked, looking into the distance with a serious expression.

Chapter 150 Symptoms Never Seen Before

The cheers of victory had not yet completely faded, and the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air, but an inexplicable sense of oppression quietly descended.

Kakashi frowned, his Sharingan, hidden by his headband, narrowed slightly, like a wild beast before its hunt, his sharp gaze sweeping across the dim sky in the distance.

That deep roar, like a horn from hell, made his heart clench. He could feel an unsettling atmosphere in the air; danger was approaching.

Kakashi's serious expression was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing everyone's joy of victory.

Naruto's face, which had been beaming with excitement, now turned serious. He could feel a powerful force awakening within him, a force that instilled in him an instinctive fear.

Sasuke's gaze shifted from excitement to wariness. He gripped the Lightning Blade tightly, feeling the restlessness of the lightning in his palm, as if he were ready to engage in battle again at any moment.

A tense atmosphere quickly spread through the crowd. The ninjas, who had just been immersed in the joy of victory, gripped their weapons tightly and looked around warily.

Shikamaru's lazy expression vanished. He squinted, using his sharp mind to analyze the sudden change, trying to find the root of the crisis.

Just then, Danzo's aged voice broke the silence: "Such a powerful force cannot be left unchecked! We should take the initiative to find the source of the danger and nip the threat in the bud!" A hint of madness flashed in his sinister eyes, as if he craved more killing.

"No!" Tsunade retorted without hesitation, her resolute gaze fixed on Danzo. "The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. A hasty attack will only throw us into disarray. We must first strengthen the village's defenses and ensure Konoha's safety!" Her words were firm and carried the authority of the Hokage.

The two argued their points and refused to back down, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.

Behind Danzo, the Anbu ninjas stepped forward one after another, their ninja tools reflecting a cold light; behind Tsunade, the Konoha Jonin also stepped forward without showing any weakness, the atmosphere so tense that it seemed like a conflict could break out at any moment.

Kakashi, Yamato, Shizune, and the others all looked extremely serious, while Asuma, Jiraiya, and others also went on high alert.

Even the usually noisy Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and others felt the tension and unconsciously sided with Tsunade. Shikamaru, on the other hand, silently observed everything, seemingly deep in thought.

"Hmph! Indecisiveness will only plunge Konoha into an even greater crisis!" Danzo sneered.

Tsunade's gaze was sharp and unwavering: "You are the one who is short-sighted, only caring about immediate gains and completely disregarding the bigger picture!" Her words carried a hint of anger.

Shisui secretly observed everything, his brows furrowed. He could sense that things were not as simple as they seemed, and a greater crisis was approaching.

Just then, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Look over there!" Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the exclamation.

The sky over Konoha Village was suddenly covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, as if foreshadowing some ominous sign.

The once bustling streets were now eerily quiet, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Just as everyone was arguing, a painful groan broke the deadlock.

A villager clutched his chest, his face pale, his body trembling violently, as if he were enduring immense pain.

Then, the second, the third...

More and more villagers collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Strange black patterns appeared on their skin, like some kind of terrible curse.

Upon seeing this, the tense atmosphere instantly froze.

The argument between Tsunade and Danzo came to an abrupt end, and all eyes were focused on the suffering villagers.

An invisible fear spread rapidly, like a plague.

The air was thick with the scent of death, so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

"What's going on?" Sakura exclaimed, her voice trembling.

“I don’t know,” Kakashi said in a deep voice, his expression unusually grave. “It’s a symptom I’ve never seen before.”

Panic spread through the crowd, and people began shoving each other, trying to get away from the fallen villagers.

The once bustling village is now like a living hell, filled with despair and suffering.

Just then, Naruto stepped forward.

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'll go! I'll go and find out the truth!"

His voice, though still young, was full of power.

His eyes shone with a resolute light, like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating the hope in people's hearts.

"Naruto!" Iruka called out anxiously.

"Iruka-sensei, believe me!" Naruto said firmly, then resolutely ran out of the village.

His running figure, like a bolt of lightning, pierced through the oppressive air.
