Naruto: Throne of the Holy Hand

Namikaze Mingdi stood in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by destroyed buildings and burning ruins. His eyes were firm, his hands were slightly raised, and he used the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit to form a solid earth flow wall to block the enemy's fierce attack.

The enemy was a tall, ferocious warrior holding a huge sickle. His name was Rek. He was one of the strongest warriors in the enemy army and had made great achievements in countless battles. At this moment, he was looking at Namikaze Hades angrily, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Emperor Namikaze, do you think this wall of earth can stop me?" Rick roared, swinging his sickle at the wall of earth.

Namikaze looked at Rick calmly, and with a little force from his hands, the earth wall made a low roar, instantly shattering Rick's sickle. Rick looked at the broken knife in his hand in astonishment, and was furious.

"You dare to destroy my weapon!" Rick roared, clenched his fists, tensed his muscles, and prepared to attack again.

Namikaze Hades smiled slightly and said calmly, "Rake, your power is indeed strong, but in front of the Sand-Sand Fruit, your attack is meaningless."

Rick roared unwillingly: "Stop talking nonsense, today I will let you see my true strength!" After that, he rushed towards Bofeng Mingdi fiercely, and his fist hit Bofeng Mingdi's face with the force of a hurricane.

The eyes of the Hades were focused, and his hands quickly formed seals, instantly forming a more solid earth wall in front of him. Rick's fist hit the earth wall heavily, making a deafening sound, but the earth wall did not move at all.

Rick was stunned, his fist was already aching, but Namikaze Hades' defense was not shaken at all. He couldn't help but feel fear, and took a few steps back, gasping for breath.

"Rick, your strength is indeed great, but you forget that fighting is not just a competition of strength, but also a competition of wisdom and skill." Bofeng Mingdi said lightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Rick was furious and rushed towards Bokfeng Mingdi again. This time he changed his strategy and no longer attacked directly. Instead, he quickly went around to the side of Bokfeng Mingdi and tried to find his weakness.

Bofeng Mingdi calmly observed Rick's movements and thought to himself. He knew that Rick was a strong opponent and he should not take him lightly. Just when Rick was about to attack him from the side, Bofeng Mingdi suddenly dodged and quickly moved behind Rick, forming seals with his hands again and exerting another ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit.

"Sand Flow Lock!" Emperor Bofeng shouted softly, and countless sand flows suddenly surged out from the ground, quickly wrapping around Rick's body and binding him tightly.

Rick struggled in fear, but the sand flow was as solid as steel, making him unable to move. He roared angrily: "Hamikaze Hades, you despicable villain, if you have the guts, fight me head-on!"

Namikaze Hades looked at Rick coldly and said calmly, "Rick, there is no such thing as mean or upright in battle, only victory and defeat. You are too confident and ignore the wisdom of your opponent. This is your fatal weakness."

Rick gnashed his teeth unwillingly and glared at Namikaze Hades, "Do you think you can win like this? I won't give in easily!"

Namikaze Hades smiled slightly, "Rick, your tenacity is indeed worthy of admiration, but the battle is over." After saying that, he exerted force with both hands, and the sand flow tightened rapidly, pressing Rick to the ground, unable to move.

A trace of despair flashed in Rick's eyes. He knew that he was powerless to resist. Namikaze Mingdi walked in front of him and looked down at him, his eyes full of coldness and determination.

"Rick, remember this lesson and don't underestimate your opponent next time." Bofeng Mingdi said coldly, then turned and left.

Rick was lying on the ground, his eyes full of reluctance and anger, but he knew that he had completely failed. This battle made him deeply aware of his own shortcomings, and also made him understand the power of Emperor Namikaze.

When Namikaze Mingdi walked out of the battlefield, he was greeted by cheers. His subordinates came forward one after another to express their respect and gratitude to him.

"Lord Hades, you are so awesome! We finally won!" a young warrior said excitedly.

Namikaze Hades smiled slightly and patted his shoulder. "This is just the beginning. There are more battles waiting for us in the future. Everyone should continue to work hard and don't slack off."

The soldiers nodded one after another, their eyes full of expectation and confidence for the future. They knew that with a leader like Namikaze Hades, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in a bright future.

Looking at the warriors in front of him, Namikaze Hades felt a sense of responsibility and mission. He knew that he had the responsibility to protect them and that he had to work harder to lead them to victory.

**Chapter 8: The Secret of the Shasha Fruit**

As night falls, the moonlight shines on the grass, covering the earth with a silver-white veil. The wind whispers among the leaves, as if conveying some unknown secret. In the depths of this silent forest, the bonfire on the grass flickers slightly, reflecting a few nervous and confused faces.

Robin stood by the campfire, staring at the Namikaze Hades in front of her. Her heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, and everything she had just seen made her unbelievable.

"Namikaze Hades, how do you know how to use the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit?" Robin's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of surprise and questioning.

Namikaze Hades did not answer immediately. His eyes were as calm as water, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Robin, there are some things you don't know. The ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit does not belong to just one person."

"That's impossible!" Robin interrupted him, "There should only be one person who has the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit, and that's Crocodile!"

Namikaze Hades smiled slightly, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes: "You are right, Crocodile is indeed the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit. But do you know? In this world, there is a special ability called the 'Copy Fruit'."

"Copy Fruit?" Robin frowned. She had never heard of this ability.

Namikaze Hades nodded: "Yes, the ability of the Copy Fruit can copy the abilities of other devil fruits. Although it can only last for a period of time, it is enough to play a huge role at a critical moment."

Countless thoughts flashed through Robin's mind as she tried to make sense of the situation. "So, you are the user of the Copy Fruit?"

Namikaze Hades shook his head: "No, I am not the user of the Copy Fruit. But I have a friend who has this ability. In order to deal with the upcoming enemy, he copied Crocodile's ability to me."

At this moment, Sato next to him suddenly interrupted: "Namikaze Mingdi, it's too dangerous for you to do this! Although the ability of the copy fruit is powerful, it also has great side effects. If you can't remove this ability within the specified time, your body will be seriously damaged!"

A trace of determination appeared on Namikaze Mingdi's face: "I know, but in order to protect everyone, I am willing to take the risk."

Robin had mixed feelings. She knew that Namikaze Hades made this decision for everyone, but she still couldn't fully accept it: "But is it really worth it?"

Namikaze Hades looked at Robin with determination in his eyes: "Robin, sometimes we have to make sacrifices to protect important people. Whether it's physical pain or mental struggle, as long as we can protect everyone, it's all worth it."

Robin was silent. She knew that what Namikaze Hades said made sense, but she still couldn't calm her inner turmoil. At this moment, footsteps were heard in the distance, breaking the silence between them.

"Who's there?" Sato looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from, with the weapon in his hand ready.

A figure walked out of the darkness. It was Crocodile. He had a sneer on his face and a dangerous light flashing in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to gather here."

Robin's heart suddenly rose to his throat: "Crocodile! Why are you here?"

Crocodile smiled coldly: "I already knew your plan, Namikaze Hades, do you think you can defeat me by copying my ability?"

Namikaze Hades did not back down. He stood in front of Robin and Sato, his eyes full of determination: "Crocodile, we won't let you succeed!"

Crocodile's smile became even more sinister: "Then give it a try!" As soon as he finished speaking, the sand in his hand began to gather rapidly, forming a huge sandbar, attacking Namikaze Hades.

Namikaze Hades reacted quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the same sand poured out from his hand, forming a sand shield that blocked Crocodile's attack. The two forces of sand collided in the air, making a huge roar and stirring up countless dust.

Robin and Sato were knocked back a few steps by the force, and Robin's heart was filled with worry: "Namikaze Hades, be careful!"

Namikaze Hades did not look back. He was concentrating on dealing with Crocodile's attack: "Robin, Sato, you two go! Leave this to me!"

Sato gritted his teeth: "No, we won't leave you alone!"

Robin also shook his head firmly: "We are partners and we will not abandon anyone!"

Namikaze Hades felt warm in his heart, but he knew how powerful the enemy in front of him was: "Okay, then let's fight together!"

Crocodile sneered at them: "Foolish guys, you don't know what you are facing."

Before he finished speaking, his attack became fierce again. Sharon circled in the air and attacked them with destructive force. Namikaze Hades gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist Crocodile's attack, while Robin and Sato looked for opportunities to give Crocodile a fatal blow.

The battle became more intense, the air was filled with dust and tension. Robin's heart was beating like a drum, she knew they had to find Crocodile's weakness as soon as possible, otherwise they would fall into endless trouble.

At this moment, Robin suddenly had an idea: "Sato, let's attack from the side, Namikaze Hades will attract his attention!"

Sato nodded: "I understand!"

The two quickly separated and flanked Crocodile from both sides, while Namikaze Hades continued to fight head-on. Crocodile obviously did not expect their tactical change, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" Crocodile roared, but there was a hint of panic in his voice.

Robin and Sato's attacks were as fast and deadly as lightning, and their coordination was impeccable. Although Crocodile was powerful, he gradually revealed his flaws under the joint attack of the three.

"Now!" Robin shouted, quickly forming seals with both hands and activating her ability. Countless arms emerged from the ground, firmly grasping Crocodile's body and fixing him in place.

Crocodile struggled, but his strength had been greatly weakened: "Damn you guys!"

Namikaze Hades seized this opportunity, concentrated all his strength, and punched Crocodile in the chest. The huge impact caused Crocodile's body to shake violently, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

"This is impossible... How could I..." Crocodile lost consciousness and fell to the ground before he could finish his words.

Robin, Sato and Namikaze stood together, panting as they looked at Crocodile who had fallen. They knew that although the battle was difficult, they had won in the end.

Robin walked up to Namikaze Hades, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Namikaze Hades. If it weren't for you, we would never have been able to defeat Crocodile."

Namikaze Hades smiled slightly, "This is our joint victory, Robin. I couldn't have done it without your help."
