Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto ran towards the mysterious valley without stopping. The scenery along the way kept changing, and their minds were all focused on the earth element gem they were about to find.

When they arrived at the entrance of the mysterious valley, a heavy and ancient atmosphere hit them. The valley was surrounded by steep cliffs with jagged rocks, some crouching like giant beasts, some hanging like swords, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. The valley was filled with a faint smell of dust, the ground was full of fine sand and gravel, and occasionally some strange earthy yellow crystals could be seen poking out of the sand and gravel, reflecting a mysterious glimmer.

"The earth element gem should be in here, let's go in." Lu Fei said, and stepped into the valley. Naruto followed closely behind him, and the two of them remained highly vigilant.

Not long after entering the valley, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, as if something huge had awakened underground. Then, huge earth and stone monsters emerged from the ground. These monsters were made of hard earth and stone, with some vines and weeds on their bodies. They had strong limbs, and every step they took made the ground tremble. Their eyes were like burning earth-yellow flames, revealing a fierce light, and they roared towards Lu Fei and Naruto.

"Wow, such a big scene right off the bat!" Lu Fei said as he swung the Thunder Flame Sword and used the "Flame Thunder Flash Slash". Sword Qi with the power of fire and lightning slashed at the earth and stone beasts that were rushing over. The sword Qi hit the beasts and exploded on their hard earth and stone bodies, splashing pieces of gravel, but it only slowed down the beasts' momentum and did not cause much substantial damage.

Seeing this, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many Shadow Clone Techniques rushed towards the earth and stone giant beasts like a tide. Some climbed on the beasts to try to interfere with their actions, while others attacked the beasts' legs, eyes and other vital parts. The original Naruto quickly formed hand seals on the side, preparing to use a powerful ninjutsu to deliver a heavy blow.

"Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" Naruto shouted, and a huge Rasenshuriken appeared in his hand, and he immediately threw it towards the leg of a giant earth and stone beast. The Rasenshuriken continued to grow in size during its flight, and the powerful force directly hit the leg of the beast. With a roar, several cracks appeared on the leg of the beast where it was hit, and its body shook a few times, almost falling to the ground.

The other giant earth and stone beasts became even more angry when they saw their companions injured, and their attacks became more fierce. Some of them used their huge heads to hit Lu Fei and Naruto, while others swung their thick tails to sweep over. For a moment, dust flew, sand and stones splashed everywhere, and the scene was very chaotic.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that every time these earth and stone beasts launched an attack, some tiny gaps would appear where their backs were connected to their bodies. The earth and stone structure there was relatively loose, which might be their weakness.

"Naruto, attack the place where their backs are connected, that's the weak point!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change the direction of attack and attack the gaps on the backs of the earth and stone beasts. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken", and the high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken with blazing flames accurately hit the gap on the back of a earth and stone beast. The gap on the back of the beast was instantly melted by the high temperature, the earth and stone began to collapse, and the body also showed obvious slowness, and it became difficult to move.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon-Breaking Slash", increasing the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, and slashed with all his strength towards the gaps on the backs of the other earth and stone beasts. Under their attack, the earth and rocks on the backs of the earth and stone beasts fell off one after another, and their bodies gradually disintegrated, and finally fell to the ground with a loud bang, turning into piles of rubble scattered on the ground.

After dealing with the giant earth and stone beast, they continued to walk deeper into the valley. As they walked, a strange stone forest appeared in front of them. The stone pillars in the stone forest were of various shapes and heights, and were engraved with various ancient runes. The runes flashed a faint earthy yellow light, as if telling a long-ago story.

In the center of the stone forest, there is a huge stone platform, on which is placed a gem that emits a mellow earthy yellow light. The light gives people a calm and heavy feeling. It is exactly the earth element gem that they are looking for.

"Finally found it, but it will probably take some more effort to get it." Lu Fei looked at the gem and knew it wouldn't be so easy to get.

Sure enough, just as they approached the stone platform, the surrounding stone forest suddenly began to tremble, and the runes on the stone pillars shone brightly. Then, beams of ochre-colored energy shot towards them from the stone pillars. At the same time, earth spikes emerged from the ground and stabbed towards them.

Lu Fei quickly swung the Thunder Flame Sword and performed the "Flame Thunder Sky Slash". The flames on the sword intertwined with the power of lightning and turned into light curtains, trying to block the energy beams and earth spikes. Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and the shadow clones dispersed, some to destroy the stone pillars that shot out beams, and some to avoid the earth spikes. The real Naruto quickly formed seals on the side, preparing to perform powerful ninjutsu to deal with this complicated situation.

"Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" Naruto used this powerful ninjutsu again, and the huge Rasenshuriken flew towards the place where the energy beams were most densely packed. The Rasenshuriken continued to grow larger during the flight, and its powerful force broke up some of the beams and knocked down several stone pillars, weakening the attack of the energy beams a bit.

But the earth spikes continued to surge from the ground, and became more dense. In the process of resisting, Lu Fei found that after the earth spikes appeared, there would be a short-term energy fluctuation gathering point under the ground. As long as that gathering point was destroyed, it might be possible to stop the earth spikes from continuing to emerge.

"Naruto, attack the energy gathering point below the earth spikes!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change their targets and attack the energy gathering point below the earth spikes. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw it towards a more obvious gathering point. The high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken accurately hit the target, and the energy fluctuations in that place dissipated instantly, and the surrounding earth spikes also stopped growing.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Overlord Slash". He increased the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, and slashed with all his strength at the energy gathering points under the other earth spikes. He successfully prevented the earth spikes from appearing, and the ground returned to calm.

At this time, although the energy beams around the stone platform were still being emitted, they were much sparser. They continued to approach the stone platform, and when they arrived in front of it, they found that the stone platform was surrounded by a layer of khaki energy shield, and the runes on the shield were constantly flowing, which was obviously the last line of defense to protect the gem.

They stopped and carefully observed the shield. After some research, they found that the rune energy of the shield was interrelated with the runes of the surrounding stone forest, and the energy strength of the shield would change with the change of the rune light in the stone forest. If they wanted to break the shield, they would first need to change the energy state of the stone forest runes to make them conflict with the shield, thereby breaking the balance of the shield.

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other and began to act. They searched for key rune nodes in the stone forest separately. With his understanding of energy and runes, Lu Fei found several main runes that controlled the flow of energy. He used the Thunder Sword to inject his own power into them, changing the original energy flow direction of the runes. Naruto also found some runes that affected the stability of the shield. By concentrating chakra, he cleverly interfered with the normal operation of these runes.

As they operated, the light of the runes in the stone forest began to become disordered. The originally orderly energy state was disrupted, and the khaki energy shield around the stone platform was also affected. The runes on the shield flashed more and more rapidly, the light gradually dimmed, and some tiny cracks began to appear.

Seeing the opportunity, Lu Fei and Naruto exerted their strength at the same time, launching the strongest attack towards the crack in the shield. Lu Fei used the "Flame Thunder Final Slash" to increase the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, turning it into a sharp sword energy and slashing towards the crack. Naruto used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan" and pushed the Rasengan in the same direction.

The attacks of the two hit the crack of the shield at the same time. With a loud bang, the shield finally couldn't bear it and shattered, turning into points of khaki light and dissipating in the air.

Lu Fei walked onto the stone platform without hesitation, reached out and picked up the earth element gem, and the five element gems were finally gathered. At this time, the five gems echoed each other in his hand, and the light emitted by each was intertwined, forming a gorgeous and mysterious brilliance, as if foreshadowing the opening of a new force to fight against the dark forces.

"We have finally gathered them all. Let's quickly find a place and release the power of the crystal ball according to the instructions in the classics." Lu Fei said excitedly.

"Well, let's go, this continent is waiting for us to save it!" Naruto was also very excited.

They left the mysterious valley with five elemental gems and a crystal ball, and went to find a suitable place to cast a formation and release the power of the crystal ball.
