Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto bid farewell to the town that had just experienced a disaster and continued their journey to protect the continent full of unknowns.

They walked along the winding road and passed through a vast grassland. The grassland was covered with green grass. The breeze blew, and the grass waves undulated like waves. Wild flowers of various colors dotted it, as if a gorgeous painting was slowly unfolding before their eyes. However, Lu Fei and Naruto had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery. They remained vigilant at all times, because they knew that the dark forces could reappear in this seemingly peaceful place at any time.

When they reached the depths of the grassland, they suddenly heard a low buzzing sound that seemed to come from underground. The sound was faint at first, but soon became louder and louder, and even the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

"Something's wrong, it seems like something is about to come out." Lu Fei said with a frown. He tightly grasped the Thunder Flame Sword, and the power of the artifact surged faintly on the sword.

Naruto also stopped, quickly formed seals with his hands, and activated the Sage Mode. A powerful chakra aura spread around him, preparing to deal with the upcoming situation.

Before he finished speaking, huge mounds of earth suddenly appeared on the ground on the grassland, and then, huge dark earthworms broke out of the ground. These earthworms were covered with hard black shells covered with sharp thorns, and they had huge mouthparts on their heads, which were constantly flowing with black mucus and emitting a pungent stench.

"It's these disgusting guys again." Naruto said with disgust, frowning.

Lu Fei did not respond. He rushed directly towards a dark earthworm. The flame and lightning power on the Thunder Flame Sword burst out instantly, performing the "Flame Thunder Flash Slash". A ray of fire and lightning sword energy slashed towards the dark earthworm. The sword energy hit the earthworm's carapace, splashing a spark. Although it left a mark on the carapace, it did not cause any substantial damage to it.

Seeing this, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many of them rushed towards the dark insect swarm. Some of the shadow clones hugged the insects' bodies, while others tried to attack the insects' mouthparts to try to distract them. The real Naruto gathered chakra on the side, ready to use a powerful ninjutsu to deliver a fatal blow.

During the battle with the dark earthworms, Lu Fei discovered that when these earthworms launched an attack, their abdomens would contract slightly. That seemed to be where their energy gathered, and it might also be a relatively weak link.

"Naruto, attack their abdomen!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to attack the belly of the dark earthworm. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw it towards the belly of a dark earthworm. The high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken flew towards the belly of the earthworm, leaving a burning trail in the process of flying.

The Molten Rasenshuriken accurately hit the Dark Earthworm's abdomen. Under the high-temperature Molten Force, the relatively weak part instantly cracked, and black mucus gushed out of the crack. The Dark Earthworm let out a painful roar, and its body began to tremble violently.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform "Flame Thunder Demon Slash". He increased the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme and slashed at the belly of the dark earthworm with all his strength. This sword contained a powerful force and successfully shattered the belly carapace of the dark earthworm. The huge body of the earthworm fell down with a bang, smashing a big hole in the grassland and raising a cloud of dust.

The other dark earthworms became even crazier when they saw their companions being defeated. They attacked Lu Fei and Naruto desperately, and some of them even jumped high and tried to bite the two with their mouthparts.

Lu Fei and Naruto cooperated with each other and continued to fight the remaining dark earthworms. They continued to use powerful offensive methods and gradually gained the upper hand. After a hard fight, they finally wiped out all the dark earthworms.

However, just as they took a breath, a strange dark vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. The vortex slowly spun faster and faster, like a huge black hole, constantly swallowing up the surrounding light. A sinister laugh came faintly from the dark vortex, and the laugh was creepy.

"What the hell is this?" Naruto said with a frown as he looked at the dark vortex in the sky.

Lu Fei said solemnly: "No matter what it is, it must be a new trick of the dark forces. We must deal with it carefully."

As the dark vortex spun, black rays shot out from the vortex and shot towards Lu Fei and Naruto. These black rays were extremely fast, and wherever they went, the grass on the grassland withered instantly and the land became dry and cracked.

Lu Fei wielded the Thunder Flame Sword, forming a shield of flames and lightning in front of him, trying to block the incoming black light. The black light hit the shield, making a sizzling sound, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many of the shadow clones rushed towards the direction where the black light came from, trying to use their bodies to block the light and protect the original body. Some of the shadow clones were hit by the black light and instantly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared, but the other shadow clones still bravely moved forward and continued to rush towards the dark vortex.

While resisting the black light, Lu Fei and Naruto were also thinking about countermeasures. Lu Fei discovered that when the black light was shot out from the dark vortex, there would be a brief energy fluctuation in the center of the vortex, which might be its flaw.

"Naruto, wait until the black light shoots out again, and then we'll attack the center of the dark vortex together!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately prepared himself. When a new round of black light was shot out again, Lu Fei used the "Flame Thunder Explosion Slash", and the flames and lightning on the Thunder Flame Sword slashed towards the center of the dark vortex. Naruto then used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan" and threw the Rasengan in the same direction.

Their attacks simultaneously hit the center of the dark vortex, and the powerful force caused a violent explosion. The energy shock produced by the explosion spread in all directions, and cracks appeared in the dark vortex under the powerful impact, and the speed of rotation gradually slowed down.

"Keep attacking!" Lu Fei shouted.

They launched their attack again, striking the dark vortex again and again. With their unremitting efforts, the cracks in the dark vortex became more and more numerous and larger. Finally, with a loud bang, the dark vortex was completely shattered, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated in the air.

At the moment when the dark vortex shattered, a mysterious man covered in a black robe flew out from the debris. He wore a hideous mask on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with strange purple light. In his hand was a staff that exuded a strong dark aura, and on the top of the staff was inlaid a huge black gem that exuded a faint black light.

"Do you think you can destroy my masterpiece so easily? Stupid guys!" said the mysterious man viciously.

"It's you again, you damned fellow. Didn't I teach you a lesson enough last time?" Naruto recognized that this was the dark messenger he met at the dark rift before, and said angrily.

“Humph, you just got away with it last time, but you won’t be so lucky this time!” The Dark Messenger sneered, waving his staff and muttering to himself.

Instantly, the air around them became bone-chillingly cold, and the dark aura quickly gathered to form a group of dark ghosts. These dark ghosts were illusory, emitting icy cold air, and they pounced towards Lu Fei and Naruto with their fangs and claws.

Naruto used the "Senjutsu Super Rasengan" and threw it at the dark ghosts, trying to disperse them. But the dark ghosts easily avoided the Rasengan's attack and continued to approach them.

Seeing this, Lu Fei combined the power of the Thunder Flame Sword with the artifact and performed the "Flame Thunder Holy Spirit Slash". A flame thunder sword energy containing divine power slashed towards the group of dark ghosts. Wherever the sword energy went, the dark ghosts screamed in pain and their bodies gradually dissipated.

But more dark ghosts continued to pour out from around the dark messenger, seemingly endless. Lu Fei and Naruto were caught in a bitter battle, they kept unleashing powerful attacks, trying to break through the encirclement of the dark ghosts.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that the actions of these dark ghosts seemed to be controlled by the Dark Messenger. As long as the Dark Messenger was defeated, the outflow of dark ghosts could be stopped.

"Naruto, we must defeat this dark messenger as soon as possible!" Lu Fei shouted.

They began to break out in the direction of the dark messenger, Lu Fei led the way, swinging the Thunder Sword, and the power of fire and lightning dispersed the approaching dark ghosts. Naruto covered from behind, performing various ninjutsu to attack the chasing dark ghosts.

After a difficult breakout, they finally arrived in front of the Dark Messenger. Lu Fei and Naruto completely integrated the power of the artifact with their own power and launched their strongest joint attack. Lu Fei's Thunder Flame Sword and Naruto's Rasenshuriken, which combined the power of immortal magic and artifacts, flew towards the Dark Messenger at the same time.

With a thunderous roar, the attacks of both sides collided. Powerful energy waves spread in all directions, and the entire grassland shook violently under the impact of this force. Cracks appeared on the ground, and the surrounding wild flowers and weeds were uprooted one after another.

In the fierce energy collision, Lu Fei and Naruto gritted their teeth and persisted. They had only one belief in their hearts, that is, to defeat the Dark Messenger and protect this continent. In the end, their power gradually prevailed, and the Dark Messenger was suppressed back little by little under the powerful attack.

With a huge explosion, the Dark Messenger was blown away by the powerful force and fell heavily to the ground, and there was no movement anymore. As the Dark Messenger fell, all the dark ghosts also dissipated.

Lu Fei and Naruto successfully defeated the dark messenger. They stood tiredly on the grassland, but their eyes were filled with joy of victory.

"We defeated this guy again, and the dark forces on this continent are a little less." Naruto said happily.

"Well, but we can't take it lightly. There may be other hidden dark forces on this continent. We have to keep moving forward." Lu Fei said.

They left the grassland with the artifact.
