Naruto Bond

After successfully defeating the sand monster, Lu Fei and Naruto continued to move towards the ancient temple. The heat of the desert was still unbearable, but their faith became stronger.

They trudged step by step on the soft sand, stopping to catch their breath every time they walked a distance. Lu Fei held the Thunder Flame Sword tightly, and the light of the sword seemed a little dim in the sun, as if he was also going through this difficult journey. Naruto mobilized the chakra in his body from time to time, and the power of the golden nine-tails loomed around his body, providing him with continuous power.

As time went by, they finally saw the edge of the desert. It was a green area, which formed a sharp contrast with the vast yellow sand behind them.

"We're finally getting out of the desert!" Naruto said excitedly.

Lu Fei nodded slightly, with a relieved smile on his face. "But we can't let our guard down. No one knows what's waiting for us outside the desert."

They quickened their pace and walked towards the edge of the desert. The moment they stepped out of the desert, a fresh air blew in their faces, making them feel extremely comfortable.

Outside the desert is a vast grassland with green grass and colorful flowers. The breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of flower fragrance. In the distance, several small hills are rolling, giving people a peaceful and beautiful feeling.

Lu Fei and Naruto stood on the grassland, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, their hearts filled with emotion. They had experienced countless hardships and obstacles in the desert, and now they finally came to this beautiful place.

"It's so beautiful here!" Naruto exclaimed.

Lu Fei took a deep breath and felt the breath of the grassland. "Yes, but we can't forget our mission. We still have to continue looking for clues to the Dragon Ball."

They walked on the grassland, enjoying the quiet moment. When the small animals on the grassland saw them, they ran over curiously, but ran away in panic when they got close to them.

As they walked, they found a clear stream. The water was flowing gently, and it was shining silver under the sunlight. Lu Fei squatted down, scooped up some water from the stream, washed his face, and felt the coolness of the water. Naruto was watching from the side, with a happy smile on his face.

"This stream is so beautiful. Maybe it leads to some important place." Lu Fei said.

Naruto nodded, "Let's follow the stream, maybe we can find some clues."

They continued along the stream, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the grassland along the way. The flowers on the grassland were colorful, and butterflies were dancing among the flowers, like a beautiful painting.

However, they did not forget their mission. They remained vigilant at all times, paying attention to any movement around them, hoping to find clues about the Dragon Ball.

At the end of the stream, they saw a small village. The houses in the village were simple and quaint, with smoke rising from the chimneys. The villagers were working in the fields, and the children were playing in the village, a peaceful scene.

Lu Fei and Naruto walked into the village, hoping to get some clues about the Dragon Balls from the villagers. When the villagers saw them, they showed a vigilant look in their eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" an old man came out and asked.

Lu Fei bowed slightly, "We are travelers looking for the Dragon Balls. Do you know any clues about the Dragon Balls?"

The old man frowned. "Dragon Ball? That's a very dangerous thing. You'd better not look for it."

Naruto asked in confusion: "Why do you say Dragon Balls are dangerous things?"

The old man sighed, "Dragon Ball has great power and can fulfill people's wishes. But because of this, it will attract many evil forces. In the past, many people lost their lives in the fight for Dragon Ball."

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other. They knew that what the old man said made sense, but they could not give up their mission to find the Dragon Balls.

"We know that the Dragon Ball is dangerous, but we must find it. Do you have any clues to provide us?" Lu Fei said sincerely.

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said, "It is said that in the distant mountains, there is a mysterious castle. There may be clues to the Dragon Ball hidden there. But the castle is very dangerous, with many powerful monsters and traps. You must be careful."

Lu Fei and Naruto thanked the old man and left the village.
