Naruto Bond

After leaving the challenging cave, Lu Fei and Naruto stepped into an unfamiliar wilderness. The sun shone blazingly on the earth, and the dry wind whistled past, raising gusts of sand and dust.

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, tightly gripped the Thunder Flame Sword, and felt the slight vibration coming from the sword. Naruto frowned slightly, the golden Nine-Tails' chakra looming around his body, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

"This place looks desolate." Naruto said.

Lu Fei nodded, "But we can't take it lightly. No one knows what will be hidden here."

They walked forward cautiously, the land under their feet was hard and barren. In the distance, several bare peaks stood up, giving people a depressing feeling.

Suddenly, there was a sharp cry in the sky. Lu Fei and Naruto looked up and saw a group of huge birds flying towards them. These birds were huge, with wingspans of more than ten meters, and their eyes flashed with fierce light.

"Be careful!" Lu Fei shouted.

Naruto immediately entered combat mode, quickly forming seals with both hands. "Shadow Clone Technique!" Instantly, countless Narutos appeared around him, ready to fight off Asuka's attack.

The birds swooped down, their sharp claws reaching for Lu Fei and Naruto. Lu Fei wielded the Thunder Flame Sword, the flames and lightning on the sword intertwined into a powerful barrier, blocking the birds' attacks. The flames and lightning flashed in the air, colliding with the birds' claws to create dazzling sparks.

Naruto directed his shadow clones to perform various ninjutsu. Wind escape? Rasenshuriken, Fire escape? Great Fireball Jutsu and other ninjutsu flew towards the birds, beating them back step by step.

However, the birds did not give up easily. They kept adjusting their tactics and attacking from different directions. Lu Fei and Naruto were in a tough fight. They kept dodging the attacks of the birds and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that the birds seemed to be driven by some mysterious force. He decided to find out the source of this force and completely eliminate these birds.

"Naruto, these birds may be controlled by some force. We have to find the source." Lu Fei shouted.

Naruto nodded, "Okay, let's look for it together."

While fighting the birds, they observed the surrounding environment. After some effort, they finally found a crystal emitting a strange light on a mountain not far away.

"It's that crystal that controls these birds." Lu Fei said.

Naruto looked at the crystal, "So what do we do?"

Lu Fei thought for a moment, "We must destroy that crystal, but be careful, there may be a strong counterattack."

They prepared themselves and attacked the crystal together. Lu Fei used the Thunder Flame Sword's strongest attack, and a huge sword energy flew towards the crystal. Naruto also used the power of the Golden Nine-Tails at the same time, and threw a huge Tailed Beast Ball towards the crystal.

The sword energy and the Tailed Beast Ball hit the crystal at the same time, and the crystal emitted a strong light and began to fight back. A powerful force surged out of the crystal and attacked Lu Fei and Naruto.

They dodged in a hurry, but the force was so strong that they found it hard to resist. At the critical moment, Lu Fei thought of a way. He inserted the Thunder Flame Sword into the ground and used the power of the sword to form a protective circle.

"Naruto, quickly hide in the protective circle." Lu Fei shouted.

Naruto quickly hid in the protective circle. The protective circle resisted the counterattack of the crystal, making them temporarily safe.

When the counterattack weakened, they attacked again. This time, they focused more on their strength, and the sword energy and tailed beast jade accurately hit the core of the crystal.

The crystal finally shattered, and as it shattered, the birds lost control and flew away.

Peace returned to the wilderness. Lu Fei and Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this battle was just the beginning, and there were more challenges waiting for them in this strange place.

They continued to move forward, and soon they came to an ancient town. The buildings in the town were dilapidated and old, and the streets were filled with an old atmosphere. People were busy walking on the streets, casting curious eyes on the two strangers, Lu Fei and Naruto.

Lu Fei and Naruto walked into the town, hoping to find some clues about the Dragon Balls. They asked around in the town, but people seemed to know nothing about the Dragon Balls.

Just when they were disappointed, a mysterious old man appeared in front of them. The old man was wearing a long robe and had deep eyes, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"Are you looking for the Dragon Ball?" the old man asked.

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other and nodded.

The old man smiled and said, "Dragon Balls are very precious treasures, and not so easy to find. But I can give you some clues."

Lu Fei and Naruto immediately perked up, "Please tell us."

The old man said slowly: "Deep in the desert, there is an ancient temple. It is said that there may be clues to the Dragon Ball hidden there. But the temple is very dangerous, with many powerful monsters and traps. You must be careful."

Lu Fei and Naruto thanked the old man and left the town, heading towards the desert.

They crossed a vast grassland and finally came to the edge of the desert. The wind was howling in the desert and the dust was everywhere. Lu Fei and Naruto walked into the desert carefully, and their figures seemed particularly small in the desert.

As they went deeper, the temperature in the desert became higher and higher, making it unbearable. They had to mobilize their internal strength to resist the high temperature.

Suddenly, they heard a low roar and the ground began to tremble slightly, as if a powerful force was approaching.

"Be careful! Something's happening!" Lu Fei shouted.

Naruto immediately prepared for battle, the golden Nine-Tails' chakra surging around his body. "Whatever it is, we can defeat it."

As the roar got closer, a huge figure rushed out from the sand. It was a huge sandworm, its body was dozens of meters long and covered with hard scales. The sandworm's eyes flashed red, and a powerful sandstorm spewed out of its mouth.

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

Lu Fei held the Thunder Flame Sword tightly, "It looks like a powerful creature in the desert. We must be careful."

The sandworm saw Lu Fei and Naruto and immediately launched an attack. It opened its huge mouth and bit towards them. Lu Fei immediately used the power of the Thunder Flame Sword. The flames and lightning on the sword intertwined into a powerful barrier to block the sandworm's attack.

Naruto was not to be outdone, he used the power of the golden nine-tailed beast, and a huge beast ball condensed in his hand. He threw the beast ball at the sandworm, and the beast ball exploded, and the powerful impact made the sandworm retreat a few steps.

The sandworm was enraged, and it attacked again. This time, its body began to spin, forming a huge vortex of sand and dust that swept towards Lu Fei and Naruto.

Lu Fei and Naruto quickly dodged the attacks of the sand vortex. They quickly shuttled through the desert, using sand dunes and rocks to avoid the attacks of sandworms.
