Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

The dark forces seemed to sense Killer Bee's power and became even more violent.

It transformed into a giant dark tentacle and slammed down towards Killer Bee's head.

"Lightning Flash!" Killer Bee shouted, plunging a kunai into the core of the dark tentacle.

A violent explosion rang out, the dark tentacles were forcibly torn apart, and Killer Bee's figure reappeared in the light of the explosion, continuing its attack towards the center of darkness.

Everyone's eyes followed Killer Bee's every move, and the air was filled with a tense yet expectant atmosphere.

Hinata bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with worry and affection. She had only one thought in her mind—Naruto, you must hold on.

Just as Killer Bee was about to deliver another fatal blow, the dark power suddenly transformed into a huge vortex, engulfing Killer Bee entirely within it.

Everyone's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Killer Bee's figure appeared and disappeared in the vortex, and his voice came from the darkness, with a hint of determination: "Don't worry, Uncle Killer Bee won't fall so easily!"

A hint of unease flashed in everyone's eyes, but deep down, their hearts remained full of hope.

Hinata's frail body trembled slightly, but her gaze was resolute as she rushed into the darkness that was engulfing Naruto like a moth to a flame.

Fear surged within her, but she was even more afraid of losing Naruto.

Tears blurred her vision, but she could almost feel Naruto in the heart of the darkness, waiting for her rescue.

An unprecedented power surged within her; beneath her delicate exterior, a brave heart was beating.

Sasuke snorted coldly, his figure shooting towards the dark vortex like lightning.

He hated this feeling of powerlessness, and he hated even more being beaten to it by others.

He is the strongest, and he wants to prove that he is more capable than anyone else of solving this crisis.

His Sharingan spun rapidly, discerning the weaknesses in the darkness, and chakra surged within him, ready to be unleashed.

He doesn't need anyone's help; he will pull Naruto out of the darkness on his own. He wants everyone to know that Uchiha Sasuke is the true strongman.

"Hey kid, get out of the way!" Killer Bee's voice came from the darkness, tinged with displeasure.

Sasuke's sudden arrival disrupted his rhythm, which annoyed him.

But Sasuke ignored Killer Bee's warning. His Sharingan had already detected the weakness of the dark power, and his kunai, crackling with lightning, was thrust fiercely into the center of darkness.

"Chidori!" A piercing thunderclap exploded in the darkness, and a sharp bolt of lightning tore through the barrier of darkness.

Seeing this, Killer Bee abandoned his contempt. The Eight-Tails' tentacles, like wildly dancing pythons, worked in conjunction with Sasuke's attacks, constantly tearing apart the power of darkness.

The dark power began to shrink under the combined attack of the two, and Naruto's figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness.

A glimmer of hope shone in everyone's eyes. Kakashi clenched his fists, Kiba waved his fists excitedly, and Sakura smiled with relief.

"Looks like these two brats are actually quite capable..." Killer Bee's voice came from the darkness, tinged with amusement.

Sasuke did not respond; his gaze was fixed on Naruto, and the kunai in his hand flashed with a dazzling light once more.

"It's not over yet..." he said in a low voice.

Chapter 161 The Black Mist Dissipates

Sasuke's Chidori was as sharp as a blade, while Killer Bee's Eight-Tails chakra was as violent as a raging torrent. The two forces intertwined, cutting through the thick black mist like a meat grinder.

The dark power roared and struggled like a trapped beast, but it could not withstand the fierce attack. It shrank continuously until it was only a fist-sized black mist, tightly enveloping Naruto like an ominous cocoon.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere filled everyone's hearts.

Kakashi's Sharingan was fixed on the black mist, his brows furrowed and his palms sweating.

Kiba clenched his fists, and Akamaru growled uneasily at his feet, making whimpering noises.

Sakura clasped her hands together and silently prayed for Naruto's safety.

"We can't wait any longer!" Kakashi said in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Yamato nodded and quickly formed hand seals.

"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"

Lightning Release: Chidori Blade!

Two powerful bursts of chakra erupted instantly, and a huge wooden dragon roared as it rose from the ground, crackling with dazzling lightning, and pounced towards the black mist.

The black mist trembled violently, emitting a piercing scream, as if making a last stand.

The wooden dragon and the black mist collided, unleashing a deafening roar. A powerful shockwave swept outwards, uprooting the surrounding trees and cracking the ground.

The air was thick with smoke and dust, obscuring everyone's vision.

Kakashi and Yamato stood at the forefront, maintaining the release of the technique, large beads of sweat sliding down their foreheads.

"It's not over yet..." Kakashi gritted his teeth, feeling the stubborn resistance.

Yamato's expression also turned serious. He could sense that the dark forces were gathering their last bit of energy, preparing for a final counterattack.

Suddenly, a blinding red light erupted from the black mist, and a powerful, evil aura soared into the sky...

The dark forces were finally completely dispelled, and the black mist that enveloped Naruto gradually dissipated like a haze pierced by sunlight.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, and life rekindled in his azure gaze.

"Naruto!" the crowd cheered.

Joy radiated from everyone's faces, especially Hinata, whose face was flushed red with relief and happiness, and the previously oppressive atmosphere was swept away.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. He could feel his tense body relax, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into place.

The surrounding air seemed to lighten, a gentle breeze carrying a refreshing scent that brushed against everyone's faces, as if sharing in their joy.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Iruka suddenly frowned, keenly sensing that something was amiss in the surrounding environment.

He looked around cautiously, his eyes scanning everything around him like a scanner.

His ears perked up, not missing a single sound, and a look of worry gradually appeared on his face.

His discovery made the people who had just relaxed tense up again, and a new sense of oppression began to spread.

The once cheerful breeze now seemed to have turned icy cold, blowing on everyone and bringing a chill.

Iruka saw a mysterious force approaching in the distance, emanating an eerie aura, like a dark wave surging.

As that force approached, it emitted a low buzzing sound, like countless flies swirling around one's ears, sending chills down one's spine.

Before anyone could react, the force was already rapidly approaching.

Kakashi's eyes sharpened, and he whispered, "Prepare for battle." Everyone instantly tensed, their eyes fixed on the approaching mysterious force, their hands gripping their weapons tightly. The atmosphere froze.

Chapter 162 This man is my brother's enemy!

The mysterious force surged like a black tide, accompanied by a chilling low hum, rapidly approaching.

Kakashi's eyes were serious, his sharp gaze, like that of a hawk, locked on the front, meticulously capturing every detail of the surging power.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the unease surging in his heart, and slowly clenched his right hand around the kunai behind his back, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Naruto clenched his fists instinctively, his blood surging through his chest. A strange excitement mixed with a hint of fear made him both nervous and eager to try.

Sasuke pursed his lips, his Sharingan spinning rapidly, the crimson pupils reflecting the approaching darkness, and a chilling killing intent emanating from him.

Sakura took a deep breath, trying to control her slightly trembling hands, and concentrated her chakra in her palms, ready to heal or fight at any time.

Kiba patted Akamaru's head, and the two, man and dog, stared firmly ahead, ready to fight side by side at any moment.

Kankuro manipulated the puppet crow, making clicking sounds; the mechanical friction was particularly jarring in the silent air.

Gaara surrounded himself with sand, forming a solid defense, his indifferent face revealing no emotion.

Temari and Maki also assumed fighting stances, vigilantly observing everything around them.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the center of the black tide, and a figure slowly emerged from it.

He wore a long black robe, his flowing white hair danced in the wind, and a sinister smile graced his aged face.

It was Uchiha Madara!

"It's been a long time, Konoha ninjas." Madara's voice was deep and hoarse, with a hint of mockery.

The moment Sasuke saw Madara, his pupils contracted sharply, and a raging fire burned in his chest.

This man is my brother's enemy!

He gritted his teeth, leaned forward slightly, like a cheetah poised to pounce on its enemy.

Meanwhile, Danzo, hidden behind the crowd, was experiencing a turmoil of emotions.

The appearance of Ban disrupted all his plans.

He has a complex relationship with Madara, involving both cooperation and hatred.

He neither wanted to be enemies with Madara nor wanted others to discover the secret between him and Madara.

He gripped his cane tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and a suffocating atmosphere enveloped him, like a volcano about to erupt.

Shikamaru rubbed his eyes; the usually lazy boy felt a strange unease at this moment…

He took a deep breath, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"and many more……"

Shikamaru pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold glint, his expression unusually serious.

"Ban, what is your purpose? To start a war? Or to destroy the world?" His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

This sudden question startled everyone, even his inseparable companions, who stared at him in surprise.

The usually lazy Shikamaru now exudes a reassuring calmness.

His mind raced, analyzing Ban's every move and glance, trying to find his weakness and devise a countermeasure.

Ban was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting the seemingly most unremarkable boy to be the first to ask a question.

Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, a golden light suddenly burst forth, drawing everyone's attention.

"Ban! Stop right there!"

Naruto roared, and golden chakra surged around him like burning flames, radiating a scorching aura.

He charged towards Ban with astonishing speed, leaving afterimages in the air.

The newly acquired power surged within him, making him feel stronger than ever before.

He unleashed a punch, and golden chakra transformed into a roaring dragon, crashing into Madara with overwhelming force.

Caught off guard, Madara was struck by this powerful force and had to retreat repeatedly.

His face showed surprise, clearly not expecting Naruto to become so powerful.

The surrounding ninjas were thrilled by this sight, and cheers erupted one after another.

They seemed to see a glimmer of hope, a possibility of defeating Ban.

However, Ban quickly regained his footing.

He raised his head, a strange smile playing on his lips.

“Interesting, very interesting…” He chuckled in a low voice, his hands quickly forming hand seals. An even more intense dark power surged from his body, like a ferocious beast with bared fangs and claws, instantly engulfing Naruto.

Everyone stared in horror as Naruto was swallowed by the dark power, their hearts filled with worry and fear.

This dark force is more powerful and more evil than before, like a demon from the depths of hell, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Madara looked at Naruto, who was being consumed by dark power, and said, "The game has only just begun..."

Chapter 163 Hmph, I've had enough fun.

The thick darkness rolled like ink, trapping Naruto within it.

A suffocating feeling followed him relentlessly, and the chilling chakra corroded his body. Naruto gritted his teeth, golden chakra surging around him as he desperately resisted the all-consuming darkness.

He felt as if he were trapped inside the belly of a giant sea monster, with nowhere to escape, and only by fighting with all his might could he have a glimmer of hope.

Hinata's gaze was fixed on Naruto, who was shrouded in darkness. Her heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, and the pain was so intense that she could hardly breathe.
