The attack from the man and the dog came like a storm as they assaulted the source of electricity.

With a loud "bang," the electric sphere shattered, and the dazzling light vanished instantly.

The surrounding electricity, like a runaway horse, quickly dissipated into the air.

Sasuke's convulsions gradually stopped, and he lay weakly on the ground, panting heavily.

"That's great! Kiba, you're amazing!" Sakura shouted excitedly, her tears turning into a joyful smile.

Naruto jumped up excitedly and gave Kiba a thumbs up.

"Ya, you're really something else!"

He scratched his head, a smug smile spreading across his face.

Although he is usually noisy, deep down he also craves recognition.

This time, he finally proved his strength.

He enjoyed the praise from his companions, and a sense of accomplishment welled up inside him.

However, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

The enormous roar was like the howl of a giant beast, sending chills down one's spine.

Huge cracks began to appear in the ground, like gaping maws, devouring everything around them.

"What's going on?!" Naruto shouted in panic. He tried to steady himself but found that the ground had become fragmented and could collapse at any moment.

Kakashi's expression changed; he realized the situation was dire.

The space appears to be collapsing, and they must find a way to escape as soon as possible.

He glanced at the crowd, trying to find a glimmer of hope, but found that everyone was stunned and at a loss due to the sudden turn of events.

"Everyone be careful!" Kakashi shouted, warning everyone.

But before he could finish speaking, the ground beneath his feet cracked open again, and everyone cried out in alarm as they plummeted downwards.

Just then, Sasuke suddenly grabbed Kakashi's arm.

Chapter 173 Now, Quickly

Sasuke gripped Kakashi's arm tightly, managing to steady himself at the last second.

Dust flew everywhere, and gravel fell like rain. Amidst the deafening roar, the ground beneath our feet cracked and collapsed like shattered porcelain.

Kakashi gritted his teeth and quickly grabbed Sakura with his other hand, pulling her back from the edge of the abyss.

"Damn it!" Ya cursed, Akamaru trembling in his arms.

Their ever-shrinking foothold left them with nowhere to escape, and the shadow of death loomed over everyone's hearts.

Gaara watched all of this with a cold eye, as if he were detached from it all.

Temari glanced at him worriedly, then looked anxiously at the collapsing space, her heart pounding in her chest.

Naruto's feet were dangling in the air, flailing wildly as he screamed in terror, "Help! I'm afraid of heights!" He desperately tried to grab onto something, but only managed to grasp at thin air in vain.

In that moment of despair, a bright idea flashed through Naruto's mind—the new power he had gained during his previous training!

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and golden chakra surged around him, unleashing a powerful force from within.

He opened his eyes suddenly,

"I won't give up!" Naruto roared, his golden chakra radiating brilliant light, illuminating the collapsing space.

He felt his body was full of power, as if he could overcome any difficulty.

At the same time, Shikamaru, who is usually lazy, did not analyze the situation as usual, but instead showed amazing courage.

He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the edge of the space, ignoring everything. Pebble tumbled down beneath his feet, but he was not afraid at all.

"Shikamaru! What are you doing?!" Kankuro shouted incredulously.

Shikamaru did not answer. He stared intently at the edge of space, where the degree of distortion seemed slightly different, as if there was a thin membrane.

He reached out and his fingertips touched the membrane, and a strange sensation came over him.

He turned around abruptly, a look of excitement on his face.

"I've found a way out!" Shikamaru's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the roar, bringing new hope to everyone.

He pointed to the weak point and said firmly, "Attack there!"

Shikamaru's guidance was like a lighthouse in the darkness, instantly igniting everyone's hearts.

Kakashi calmed himself down, quickly checked the surroundings, and nodded after confirming that everything was alright: "Okay, we'll do it your way!"

Naruto was the first to react. Golden chakra surged around him. He formed hand seals and shouted, "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!" A golden spiral of chakra energy formed in his hands and flew toward the weak point in that layer of space, creating a gust of wind that howled and tore through the air.

Sasuke followed closely behind, his hands forming hand seals, black flames burning in his hands. He coldly said, "Fire Release: Kagutsuchi!" The black flames transformed into a sharp beam of light, shooting towards the thin membrane, colliding with Naruto's Rasenshuriken in mid-air, producing a piercing explosion.

Sakura wasn't idle either. She concentrated her chakra in her hands and slammed a punch into the membrane: "Super Strength!" The enormous impact caused the membrane to tremble violently, as if it were about to shatter.

Kiba and Akamaru worked in perfect harmony. Kiba formed hand seals and shouted, "Beastman Clone Technique!" Akamaru transformed into hundreds of ninja dogs, who swarmed forward. Their claws and teeth tore at the membrane, producing a crisp cracking sound.

Temari waved her fan and shouted, "Wind Release: Iron Sand Rain!" Tiny iron sands flew in the wind, raining down on the membrane and creating more cracks.

Gaara's sand coalesced in the air, forming a giant sand scorpion that fiercely pounced on the membrane, its sharp pincers and tail relentlessly attacking, scattering shattered fragments everywhere.

At the same time, Kakashi's Sharingan flashed, and he formed hand seals, whispering, "Lightning Release: False Day!" Ten thousand bolts of lightning shot out from his hands, accurately striking the membrane and instantly triggering a violent explosion, illuminating the entire space with dazzling light.

With everyone's combined attack, the thin membrane of that space finally gave way and began to crack in large areas.

Kakashi shouted decisively, "Now, quick!"

Without hesitation, everyone seized the opportunity. Kakashi grabbed Naruto, Sasuke protected Sakura, Kiba carried Akamaru, and Kankuro and Temari followed closely behind. They all used their chakra to leap over the collapsing space and rush to safety.

Suddenly, the roar intensified, the earth shook, rocks flew everywhere, and space seemed to collapse in an instant, but they had successfully left that land of death.

The group landed on solid ground, panting heavily.

"We did it!" Naruto cheered loudly. The golden chakra gradually faded, and he looked at everyone with a proud smile on his face.

Sasuke also showed a rare expression of satisfaction. Sakura patted him on the shoulder happily, while Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Just as everyone was celebrating their victory, a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon and rapidly approached.

The shadowy figure exuded a powerful, malevolent aura, making it almost impossible for everyone to breathe.

Naruto was the first to notice something was wrong; his smile froze instantly, and his eyes became wary.

"Everyone, watch out!" Naruto shouted a warning, but before he could finish speaking, the huge black shadow had already approached, and everyone's hearts tightened again, ready for battle.

Chapter 174 Dart Attack

On the horizon, a huge black shadow, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, rapidly approached like a moving dark cloud.

The air seemed to freeze, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Kakashi's Sharingan eyes darted around rapidly as he calmly analyzed the situation.

His gaze was fixed on the shadowy figure, trying to catch any flaw. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead silently spoke of his inner tension.

"What on earth is this thing?" Naruto clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly.

Sasuke's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and all the muscles in his body were taut to the extreme, ready to fight at any moment.

Suddenly, a figure broke the tense atmosphere.

Sakura, the girl who was usually seen as somewhat timid and always followed behind Naruto and Sasuke, actually stepped forward and rushed towards the direction of the shadowy figure.

Her figure appeared so small in the eyes of the crowd, yet she was exceptionally determined.

"Sakura, what are you doing?!" Naruto exclaimed, his face filled with shock and worry.

But Sakura did not stop. Her eyes were filled with determination, and there was no longer any fear in them.

She held a strangely shaped scroll tightly in both hands; it was a newly developed ninja tool that she had been experimenting with day and night.

She swiftly unfurled the scroll, pouring chakra into it like a rushing river. The scroll instantly shone with a dazzling light, and countless tiny, shimmering darts rained down on the shadowy figure.

This sudden change left everyone stunned.

Kakashi's Sharingan caught the strange light flashing on the shuriken; it was Sakura's unique chakra fluctuation, containing powerful energy.

Sasuke and Shikamaru opened their mouths in surprise, even they found it hard to believe.

Kiba and Akamaru stood frozen in place, momentarily forgetting to react.

Even Kankuro and Temari couldn't help but glance at her, looking at this girl from Konoha with new respect.

The dense attacks were like a fine net, enveloping the shadowy figure. The darts whistled through the air, cutting through the air with a sharp cry.

However, just as the dart was about to hit the shadowy figure, the figure suddenly vanished from its spot.

The next second, it appeared in the higher sky, like a giant blob of ink, silently suspended there.

It made no sound, but the oppressive feeling grew even stronger, sending chills down one's spine.

Everyone was stunned. How could Sakura's attack have been dodged so easily?

What exactly is this dark figure, that it is so powerful?

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a chilling black energy suddenly surged from the shadowy figure's body. The power was so strong that everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

"What's this?!"

The shadowy figure waved his hand dismissively, and an invisible shockwave completely neutralized Sakura's attack.

The dart, as if falling into a quagmire, instantly lost all momentum and fell limply to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the shadowy figure unleashed an even more powerful force, sweeping out like a storm.

Everyone felt a tightness in their chests, and a tremendous force shoved them away, causing them to fall to the ground.

Dust billowed, obscuring everyone's vision, leaving only a deafening roar in their ears.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and got up from the ground.

He formed hand seals, his chakra surging wildly, and his eyes burned with a fierce flame of resentment.

"Chidori!" A piercing thunderous sound rang out, and a dazzling bolt of lightning burst forth from Sasuke's hand, like a raging thunder dragon, heading straight for the dark figure.

The lightning and the black energy released by the shadow collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar.

The surrounding air vibrated violently, sand and stones flew everywhere, and trees snapped in half.

Everyone watched the clash of forces with bated breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, refusing to back down even a step. His pride and competitiveness made him determined not to fall here.

Just then, Naruto suddenly noticed a flaw in the shadowy figure.

In the instant the black energy surged, an extremely tiny gap appeared at the center of the shadow, like a moment of calm in a storm.

The opening was fleeting, but Naruto keenly spotted it.

"Now!" Naruto shouted in his heart, concentrating all his chakra into one point, and a brand new power awakened within him.

He transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, rushing towards the shadowy figure with lightning speed, striking the shadowy figure's weak point with his power.

"Rasengan!" With a roar, the golden chakra ball spun like a drill, tearing through the shadowy figure's defenses.

The dark figure let out a painful roar, and its massive body trembled violently.

Upon seeing this, everyone cheered excitedly, and the atmosphere instantly became incredibly enthusiastic.

However, the joy of victory did not last long.

The wounded shadow suddenly let out a sharp screech, its body began to twist and deform, eventually splitting into countless smaller shadows, like swarms of bats, surrounding everyone.

"Oh no!" Kakashi's expression changed drastically, and he shouted.

Before anyone could react, they were engulfed by the small black shadow's attack...

"Protect yourselves!" Kakashi's voice was drowned out by the chaos.

Chapter 175 The Destruction of the Eight Tails

Countless tiny black shadows, like a frenzied swarm of bees, shrieked and surged toward the crowd.
