Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Naruto was the first to be hit, his golden hair dancing wildly in the wind, his azure eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Come on! Whatever the challenge, I'll take it!" he shouted, charging into the massive vortex like a golden lightning bolt.

The others followed closely behind, rushing towards the vortex.

Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly as he surveyed his surroundings; Sakura gripped her kunai tightly, ready for battle at any moment; Shikamaru frowned, pondering a countermeasure.

The wind and sand lashed against their faces, making a crackling sound, as if urging them to quicken their pace.

As the group drew closer to the vortex, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie.

The wind intensified, whipping up sand and gravel from the ground to form swirling sand pillars, like ferocious beasts baring their fangs and roaring deafeningly.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, as if something terrible was about to descend.

When everyone finally reached the edge of the vortex, countless dark ninjas poured out from its center.

These ninjas were dressed in black night clothes, their faces hidden behind masks, revealing only pairs of cold eyes.

Armed with sharp weapons, they were agile and swift, like ghosts, instantly surrounding the crowd.

"Watch out!" Kakashi shouted a warning, and at the same time quickly formed hand seals. "Lightning Blade!" A dazzling bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, striking a dark ninja and instantly turning him to ashes.

Sasuke and Gaara were equally formidable, standing at the forefront of the group, cooperating with each other to fend off the attacks of the dark ninjas.

Sasuke's Sharingan could see through the enemy's movements, while Gaara could use sand to build a defense. The two were good at both offense and defense, and for a time they managed to block the tidal wave of attacks from the Dark Ninjas.

The battle was extremely fierce, with the dark ninjas constantly changing tactics, sometimes launching surprise attacks from all sides and sometimes concentrating their attacks, catching everyone off guard.

Just then, Sakura suddenly noticed...

Sakura's eyes scanned the chaotic battlefield rapidly. She keenly noticed that although these dark ninjas attacked fiercely, they would pause briefly after each attack, their bodies seemingly stiffening for a moment.

Is it...

Is this their weakness?

"Their attack has a long recovery time! Seize this opportunity to counterattack!" Sakura shouted, her voice piercing through the sandstorm and the sounds of battle, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

Kakashi understood immediately and adjusted his tactics.

"Everyone, pay attention! Wait until they finish their attack before counterattacking!" His voice was calm and powerful, instilling confidence in everyone.

Upon receiving instructions, the Konoha ninjas immediately changed their strategy.

Instead of attacking blindly, they seized the pauses after the dark ninjas' attacks to launch precise counterattacks.

Sasuke's Sharingan caught every enemy's weakness, and a sharp kunai pierced the enemy's throat; Shikamaru used Shadow Imitation Technique to control the enemy's movements, creating an opportunity for his comrades to attack; Kiba and Akamaru worked in perfect harmony, and Akamaru's sharp fangs tore through the enemy's defenses.

Naruto took a deep breath and quickly formed hand seals.

"Rasenshuriken!" he shouted, conjuring a giant Rasengan in his hand. Countless tiny wind blades swirled around the Rasengan, emitting a piercing whistling sound.

Golden light illuminated the entire battlefield. Naruto slammed the Rasengan shuriken in his hand into the ground. The huge explosion was deafening, and violent energy swept across the entire battlefield, instantly turning countless dark ninjas into ashes.

As the smoke cleared, Naruto stood in the center of the battlefield, his golden hair flying in the wind, like a god descending to earth.

"Temari!" Kankuro exclaimed in surprise as he saw a deep cut on Temari's arm, from which blood was gushing out.

He rushed to Temari's side and anxiously checked her injuries.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Temari forced a smile despite the pain. "Don't worry about me, keep fighting!" Kankuro looked at Temari's resolute eyes, his heart filled with emotion and admiration.

Just when everyone was about to achieve final victory, a sudden change occurred.

The enormous vortex began to spin wildly, emitting a deafening roar.

The diameter of the vortex continued to expand, as if it were about to devour the entire world.

A majestic voice came from the center of the vortex: "You... dare to challenge my authority...!"

Chapter 228 Heaven's Imperial Court

The roar of the vortex was like the howl of a wild beast, making everyone's eardrums ache.

They instinctively stopped what they were doing, their gazes all fixed on the swirling abyss.

An indescribable sense of oppression filled the air, as if an invisible hand had gripped everyone's throat.

Doubt, tension, and fear intertwined on everyone's faces, freezing into a deathly silence.

At the center of the swirling vortex, a blurry figure gradually became clear.

The figure was noble and majestic, surrounded by a breathtakingly powerful chakra.

Everyone stared in shock, as if they were witnessing something unbelievable.

That wasn't human, but...

god!

"Kaguya Otsutsuki!" Kakashi roared, his voice filled with disbelief.

This legendary name actually appeared before them.

Kaguya Otsutsuki spoke slowly, her voice like the tolling of an ancient bell, carrying an undeniable majesty: "You... dare to challenge my authority..." She looked down at the crowd as if they were ants, "This world will be ruled by me once again!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's announcement was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts.

Some were terrified, some were confused, and some harbored different thoughts.

The appearance of Kaguya Otsutsuki was an opportunity for Danzo, a chance to reshuffle the deck and gain more power.

He quietly clenched his fist, plotting how to take advantage of the situation.

Tsunade, on the other hand, is the complete opposite.

She glared angrily at Danzo and said sharply, "What kind of scheme are you plotting now? At this time, we should be united, not..."

"Unity?" Danzo sneered, interrupting Tsunade. "Do you think we can fight against God? Only by obeying God's will can we..."

"Shut up!" Tsunade roared, slamming her fist on the table, sending splinters flying. "Konoha will never bow down to anyone!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes. "Tsunade, you're too naive..." He slowly stood up, approaching Tsunade step by step. "Some powers are beyond your imagination..."

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder; a conflict was about to erupt.

Just then, a voice broke the deadlock...

A surge of intense chakra erupted from Naruto, sweeping across the entire area like a volcanic eruption.

Golden light enveloped him, and the Nine-Tails' chakra, like burning flames, formed a huge fox tail shape behind him.

Naruto's golden hair stood on end, and his blue eyes shone with unwavering determination. His aura was overwhelming, so oppressive that it even caused the air to distort slightly.

"Shut up! You self-proclaimed god!" Naruto roared, his voice filled with contempt for Kaguya. "This world is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"

An unprecedented surge of chakra erupted from Naruto. He formed hand seals and uttered a low shout: "Sage Art: Rasenshuriken: Super Giant Ball!" A giant golden Rasenshuriken took shape in his hands, spinning so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye, emitting a sharp whistling sound as if it were about to tear space apart.

Naruto's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly threw the Rasenshuriken in his hand at Kaguya.

The enormous golden shuriken, trailing a long, fiery tail, hurtled straight toward Kaguya with overwhelming force.

Kaguya looked at the fierce spiral shuriken coming at her. She never expected that this seemingly unremarkable boy could unleash such powerful strength.

Seeing Naruto's bravery, everyone was filled with admiration and hope.

The atmosphere instantly became incredibly tense, with everyone holding their breath and watching this earth-shattering duel with bated breath.

Hinata clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She stared at Naruto nervously, her eyes filled with worry, yet also with trust and admiration for him.

She silently prayed that Naruto would be safe and sound.

Naruto felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he felt Hinata's gaze, which strengthened his resolve to face Kaguya.

Just as the Rasenshuriken was about to strike Kaguya, Kaguya suddenly reached out and formed a strange hand seal.

"Amanomichi!" Kaguya shouted in a low voice.

The space around Naruto suddenly collapsed, forming a black vortex that swallowed him up.

The golden light vanished instantly, replaced by a deathly darkness.

"Naruto!" Hinata exclaimed, trying to rush over, but Kakashi grabbed her arm.

“Calm down, Hinata,” Kakashi said in a deep voice. “Now is not the time to act impulsively.”

Everyone stared at the spot where Naruto had disappeared, their eyes filled with determination...

"I will find you, Naruto..." Hinata whispered, her voice filled with determination.

Chapter 229 The Extraterrestrial Rescue Journey

The black vortex slowly closed, as if a giant beast that had devoured everything had closed its mouth in satisfaction.

The lingering chakra aura of the Rasengan remained in the air, but Naruto's sunny vitality was nowhere to be felt.

The group stood rooted to the spot, gazing at the void with unwavering determination.

Sasuke was the first to break the silence.

He gripped the Kusanagi sword tightly, its blade reflecting a cold light that illuminated his resolute face.

"Naruto, I will definitely bring you back!" His tone was cold, but it contained an undeniable determination.

“Sasuke is right,” Sakura clenched her fists, her pink hair fluttering gently in the wind. “We are a team, and we absolutely cannot abandon any of our comrades!”

"Hmph, although that guy is annoying, I can't just watch him get captured." Kiba said with his arms crossed, while Akamaru whimpered softly beside him, seemingly also worried about Naruto's safety.

"Shikamaru, do you have a way to enter another dimension?" Kakashi turned to look at Shikamaru, his tone filled with anticipation.

Shikamaru frowned, his fingers instinctively resting on his chin, the tense atmosphere around him doing nothing to affect his calm thinking.

"This is so troublesome... But since Naruto has been sucked in, there must be a way to get in."

Just as everyone was brainstorming and trying to find a way to enter the other dimension, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a group of completely black puppets burst out of the ground, their eyes flashing with scarlet light, wielding sharp weapons, and attacked the group.

"It's Kaguya's guardian puppets!" Gaara recognized the puppets at a glance. He shouted, and golden sand surged out instantly, forming a solid barrier that protected everyone behind him.

"Sasuke, let's go!" Before Gaara could finish speaking, Sasuke had already rushed forward.

He activated his Sharingan, and the three tomoe spun rapidly in his crimson pupils, capturing every subtle movement of the puppets and searching for their weaknesses.

The puppets' attacks intensified, and cracks began to appear in Gaara's sand barrier.

Shikamaru stared intently at the battlefield, his brow furrowed, as if deep in thought.

"These puppets... their attack patterns are too predictable..." he muttered to himself, his gaze falling on a black stone tablet in the distance. "Could it be..."

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as he locked onto the black stone tablet.

"Just as I suspected! The puppets' movements are exactly like the patterns on the stone tablet!" He suddenly raised his head, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone present. "That stone tablet is the control core!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he pointed his Kusanagi sword directly at the stone tablet.

"I'll take care of it!" Chakra erupted beneath his feet, and his figure shot towards the stone tablet like a black lightning bolt.

"Wait, Sasuke!" Shikamaru quickly stopped him. "Don't go alone! There are definitely traps up there!"

However, Sasuke was extremely fast; before he could finish speaking, he had already approached the stone tablet.

Just as he was about to swing his sword, a layer of black light suddenly appeared on the surface of the stone tablet, blocking all of Sasuke's attacks.

"Something's definitely strange!" Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand unleashed even more powerful Lightning Release chakra, attempting to break through the light membrane.

At the same time, Gaara also moved.

Golden sand surged like ocean waves, transforming into countless sand hands that firmly grasped the puppets, restricting their movements.

"Everyone, attack that stone tablet together!" Gaara's voice was deep and powerful. "Concentrate your strength and destroy it in one fell swoop!"

Kakashi immediately understood, forming hand seals, with lightning dancing at his fingertips.

"Lightning Cutter!" A blinding silver lightning bolt erupted from his hand, striking the stone tablet directly.

Sakura didn't hesitate either, concentrating all her chakra into her fist.

"Super strength!" she shouted, slamming her fist into the stone tablet.

Kiba and Akamaru worked in perfect unison, transforming into a spinning hurricane that slammed violently into the stone tablet.
