Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto left the cave behind the waterfall and walked along a winding and rugged mountain path. The surrounding rocks were of different shapes, some crouching like beasts, and some standing like giants, as if silently watching their every move. The path was covered with gravel and thorns, and every step required extra caution to avoid injury.

After walking for a while, they came to a three-way intersection. The three roads led to different directions, and each road was filled with different degrees of mystery. There was an old signpost in the middle of the intersection. The writing on the signpost was blurred, and only some strange symbols and patterns could be vaguely seen.

"This is a bit troublesome. Which road should we take?" Naruto scratched his head, looking at the three-way intersection in front of him in confusion.

Lu Fei squatted down and carefully observed the symbols on the road sign, trying to find some clues. "These symbols seem to be related to what we saw on the stone tablet and maze before. We have to think about it carefully." He frowned and said.

After some thought, Lu Fei found that the mysterious atmosphere on one of the roads was similar to the place where the gem was found before. "Let's try this one." He pointed to the middle road and said.

They walked along the chosen path, and soon the surrounding environment began to change. The air became colder, a thin layer of frost appeared on the ground, and the surrounding trees were also covered with ice and snow, as if they had entered a world of ice and snow.

Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from afar. The sound was ethereal and mysterious, echoing in the ice and snow, making people feel as if they were in a dream. But they knew that in this mysterious forest, any seemingly beautiful thing could hide danger.

"The sound of the flute is a bit strange. We have to be careful." Lu Fei tightly grasped the Thunder Flame Sword and looked around vigilantly.

Naruto also mobilized his chakra to prepare for any possible situation. As the sound of the flute got closer, they saw a figure in a white robe looming on the ice field in the distance. The figure looked graceful, like a beautiful woman, but she exuded an elusive aura.

As they approached, the woman in white stopped playing the flute, and slowly turned around, revealing a beautiful yet cold face. Her eyes were like a deep icy lake, without a trace of emotion.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my territory?" The voice of the woman in white was as cold as ice.

Lu Fei stepped forward and said, "We are here to look for gems and strengthen the seal of the forest. No offense."

The woman in white sneered, "Gem? That's mine, you can't have it." After saying that, she waved her sleeves, and the surrounding ice and snow instantly turned into countless ice blades, shooting towards Lu Fei and Naruto.

The ice blades were dense and fast like raindrops, flashing coldly in the sun. Lu Fei quickly swung the Thunder Flame Sword, and the flames on the sword intertwined with the power of lightning, forming a flame lightning shield that blocked the ice blades one after another. The ice blades hit the shield, splashing pieces of ice flowers.

Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and many clones rushed towards the woman in white, trying to interfere with her attack. The real Naruto was preparing to perform magic on the side.

The woman in white saw the shadow clone coming, and there was no panic on her face. She raised her hand slightly, and icicles surged from the surrounding ice field, rushing towards the shadow clones and smashing them one by one.

Lu Fei saw the right moment and rushed towards the woman in white. He jumped high, and the Thunder Flame Sword gathered a powerful source of power, and slashed at the woman in white. The woman in white was not in a hurry. An ice wall appeared in front of her. The ice wall was crystal clear and very thick, blocking Lu Fei's attack.

"Your strength is too weak." The woman in white said contemptuously.

Naruto saw that Lu Fei's attack was blocked, so he used the immortal technique? Super Large Rasengan and smashed it towards the ice wall. The Rasengan collided with the ice wall, making a loud noise, and some cracks appeared in the ice wall.

The woman in white frowned slightly, and she increased the energy input to the ice wall, and the cracks in the ice wall were quickly repaired. At the same time, she waved her hands and chanted something, and the temperature around her dropped sharply, and huge hail began to fall from the sky. The hail was the size of a fist, and it was densely packed towards Lu Fei and Naruto.

Lu Fei and Naruto were a little embarrassed under the attack of hail. They kept dodging, but were still hit by some hail, leaving some scratches and bruises on their bodies.

"We have to find a way to break her defense. This is not a solution." Lu Fei shouted.

Naruto nodded. He looked at the woman in white and suddenly thought of a solution. "Lu Fei, let's attack her ice wall together and concentrate our strength on one point."

Lu Fei understood what Naruto meant, and they rushed towards the ice wall again. This time, they gathered their strength in one place, and Lu Fei's Thunder Flame Sword and Naruto's Immortal Technique Super Large Rasengan hit the same point on the ice wall at the same time. Under the powerful combined attack, the ice wall finally couldn't bear it and collapsed.

The woman in white didn't expect them to break her ice wall, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face. But she quickly regained her composure, and an ice wand appeared in her hand. The crystal on the top of the wand exuded powerful magic.

"You angered me." The woman in white said, and began to cast more powerful ice magic. The ice and snow around her began to gather crazily, forming a huge ice giant. The ice giant was dozens of meters tall, exuding a biting cold. It took heavy steps towards Lu Fei and Naruto, and every step made the ground shake.

Lu Fei and Naruto did not flinch in the face of such a huge enemy. They looked at each other and started to act in tacit understanding. Lu Fei rushed to the legs of the ice giant. He used the Thunder Flame Sword to continuously attack the giant's ankles, trying to make it lose balance. Naruto used the Wind Style Rasenshuriken and flew towards the giant's head. The shuriken continued to grow larger during the flight, and the powerful wind attribute chakra cut the giant's body.

The ice giant waved its huge arms, trying to hit Lu Fei and Naruto. Lu Fei nimbly dodged the giant's attack, and he found that after each attack, the giant's body would pause for a short time.

"Naruto, pay attention to the pause after its attack. We can take the opportunity to attack its vital points." Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto paid more attention to the giant's actions. During a pause after the giant's attack, he and Lu Fei simultaneously launched a more violent attack. Lu Fei slashed hard at the joint behind the giant's knee, while Naruto inserted the Wind Style Rasenshuriken directly into the giant's chest.

The ice giant was severely injured and roared in pain. Its body began to shake, and the surrounding ice and snow fell. The woman in white saw that the ice giant was injured, her face changed, and she increased the output of magic power to the giant, trying to stabilize the giant.

But Lu Fei and Naruto did not give her a chance, they continued to attack. Lu Fei once again used the powerful sword skills of the Thunder Flame Sword to chop at the other leg of the giant, while Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many clones attacked the giant's body together.

Under their joint attack, the ice giant finally couldn't hold on and collapsed completely. A large amount of ice and snow fragments were scattered all over the ground, and the woman in white was also knocked back by the impact and fell to the ground.

Lu Fei and Naruto took the opportunity to walk up to the woman in white. "We don't want to be your enemy, but we must get the gem, strengthen the seal, and protect this forest and continent." Lu Fei said.

The woman in white looked at them, with a complicated look in her eyes. After a while, she slowly said, "Are you really here to seal it?"

Naruto nodded, "Yes, we have found three gems, and we need two more."

The woman in white was silent for a moment, then took out a crystal clear blue gem from her bosom. "This is one of the gems you are looking for. I hope you can complete the seal and prevent the resurgence of the evil power."

Lu Fei took the gem and said, "We will definitely do it, thank you."

The woman in white nodded slightly, then turned and disappeared into the snow.

Lu Fei and Naruto, with their newly acquired gems, continue their journey to find the last gem.
