Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto rushed towards the group of dark puppets. Lu Fei was the first to swing his sword and slash at the puppet in front. The Thunder Sword collided with the puppet's metal weapon, splashing sparks, "Flame Thunder Devil Slash!" He shouted, and the power of fire and thunder burst out along the sword, knocking the puppet back several steps.

Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many shadow clones rushed towards the dark puppets from all directions, engaging in fierce close combat with them. The real Naruto quickly formed seals on the side, "Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" The huge Rasenshuriken flew towards the dense group of puppets with powerful force, engulfing several puppets and crushing them in an instant.

However, these dark puppets seemed to have some kind of self-repair ability. The broken puppet parts were quickly reassembled and continued to fight.

"These puppets can be reborn, so they are not easy to deal with!" Lu Fei said with a frown.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that every time the puppets were attacked, a black crystal on their chests would flash, which seemed to be the core of their power and the key to their repair.

"Naruto, attack the crystals on their chests!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change their targets and focus their efforts on attacking the crystal on the dark puppet's chest. The real Naruto also used "Senjutsu? Melting Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw it at the chest of a larger puppet.

The Molten Rasenshuriken accurately hit the crystal on the puppet's chest, causing cracks to appear in the crystal instantly, and the puppet's movements also became sluggish. Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Final Slash" and slashed at the crystal on the puppet's chest with all his strength, successfully shattering it and completely paralyzing the puppet.

The other dark puppets saw their companions being destroyed and launched an even more frantic attack. They ignored their own injuries and rushed towards Lu Fei and Naruto in waves.

Lu Fei and Naruto cooperated with each other, dodging the puppets' attacks while looking for opportunities to destroy the crystals on their chests. After a hard fight, they finally wiped out all the dark puppets.

At this moment, the dark magic circle suddenly shone brightly, and a huge dark demon statue slowly rose from the circle. The statue's eyes flashed red, and a low roar came from its mouth, and a strong sense of oppression came over him.

"What kind of monster is this?" Naruto said in surprise.

Lu Fei looked solemn, "No matter what it is, we must defeat it and not let it harm this continent."

The Dark Demon Statue swung its huge arm and smashed towards them. Lu Fei and Naruto quickly separated to dodge. Lu Fei turned in the air and performed "Flame Thunder Tyrant Slash". The Thunder Flame Sword turned into a huge flame and lightning sword energy and slashed at the statue's arm. The sword energy hit the arm, splashing sparks, but only left a shallow mark on the arm.

Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and the shadow clones climbed up the body of the statue, trying to find its weakness. The real Naruto gathered chakra on the side, preparing to perform a powerful ninjutsu.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that the head of the statue seemed to be its key part. Every time it attacked, the energy fluctuations there were the strongest.

"Naruto, attack its head!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to create chaos near the statue's head to attract the statue's attention. The real Naruto used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan" and threw it towards the statue's head.

The Rasengan hit the statue's head with a loud bang. The statue's head shook a few times after being hit, but it did not suffer any substantial damage.

Seeing this, Lu Fei used the "Flame Thunder Explosion Slash". He increased the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme and slashed at the head of the statue with all his strength. This sword contained a powerful force and successfully left a deep crack on the head of the statue.

The Dark Demon Statue was enraged, and a stream of black flames spurted out of its mouth, sweeping towards Lu Fei and Naruto. Lu Fei and Naruto quickly dodged, knowing that they had to find a way to completely defeat the statue as soon as possible.

While avoiding the flames, Lu Fei discovered that when the statue was spewing fire, the light in an area on its back would become dim, and the defense there might be relatively weak.

"Naruto, attack the dim area on its back!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to attack the dimmed area on the back of the statue. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw it towards that area.

The Lava Release Rasenshuriken accurately hit the dim spot on the statue's back. The statue let out a painful roar, and a big hole appeared where its back was hit.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Holy Spirit Slash". He completely integrated the power of the Thunder Flame Sword with the artifact and slashed at the big hole on the back of the statue with all his strength. This sword contained a powerful divine power and successfully destroyed the Dark Demon Statue.

As the statue fell, the dark magic circle was shattered, and the dark atmosphere in the village gradually dissipated.

"Finally, this big trouble has been solved." Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, but we still have to look around in this village to see if there are any other clues about the dark forces." Lu Fei said.

They searched the village carefully and found an old diary in a dilapidated house. The diary paper had turned yellow and the handwriting was a little blurry, but some of the content could still be roughly recognized. The diary recorded how the village had been attacked by dark forces, as well as some traces of dark forces' activities in other parts of the mountains.

"It seems we have a direction again." Lu Fei said.

They left the ancient village with their diaries.
