Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto continued to move forward with the fatigue after the victory. They crossed the grassland and stepped into a dense jungle. The trees in the jungle were towering into the sky, with branches and leaves intertwined. The sunlight could only shine through the gaps between the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, making the whole jungle look a little gloomy.

As they walked, they heard a strange rustling sound, as if something was moving through the woods. Lu Fei and Naruto immediately became alert, slowed down their pace, and carefully observed the movements around them.

"Be careful, there's no telling what dangers are hidden in this jungle." Lu Fei said softly, holding the Thunder Flame Sword tightly in his hand, and the power of the artifact began to operate quietly.

Naruto nodded, secretly formed seals with his hands, and was ready to perform ninjutsu at any time to deal with any emergency.

Suddenly, huge black vines hung down from the tree. These vines were like thick pythons, with sharp thorns on the surface and a pungent smell of decay. The vines quickly wrapped around Lu Fei and Naruto, trying to bind them tightly.

Lu Fei quickly swung the Thunder Flame Sword, the flames and lightning on the sword burning fiercely, he used the "Flame Thunder Vine Cutting" skill, and slashed the approaching black vines with flame and lightning sword energy. Wherever the sword energy went, the vines were cut off one after another, and the black juice splashed out, making a sizzling sound when it fell on the ground, as if corroding the earth.

Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and many shadow clones dispersed. Some rushed to the tree, trying to find the source of the vines; some assisted Lu Fei on the ground, resisting the vines that continued to attack. The original Naruto gathered chakra on the side, ready to perform a powerful ninjutsu to deliver a fatal blow.

During the battle with the black vines, Lu Fei discovered that these vines seemed to extend from somewhere deep in the jungle, and their roots should be the key. If the roots could be destroyed, perhaps the threat of these vines could be completely eliminated.

"Naruto, we have to find the roots of these vines and pull them out!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to search for the roots of the vines deep in the jungle. After a search, they finally found a large black vine in a hidden valley. These vines were intertwined and rooted in the valley. In the center of the vines, there was a huge black crystal. The crystal exuded a strong dark aura, which seemed to provide these vines with endless energy.

"Lu Fei, found it, there is a black crystal here, it should be the source of energy for these vines!" Naruto shouted.

After hearing this, Lu Fei quickly rushed towards the valley. When he arrived, he saw the black crystal and the dense vines around it, and knew in his heart that this was the key to solving the problem.

"Let's work together to destroy this crystal!" Lu Fei said.

They both exerted their strength at the same time. Lu Fei increased the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme and used the "Flame Thunder Explosion Slash" to cut towards the black crystal. Naruto used the "Senjutsu? Molten Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw the high-temperature Molten Release Rasenshuriken towards the black crystal.

Their attacks hit the black crystal at the same time, and the powerful force caused a violent explosion. The energy shock generated by the explosion spread in all directions, and cracks appeared in the black crystal under the powerful impact. The surrounding vines also trembled violently under the impact of the explosion.

"Keep attacking!" Lu Fei shouted.

They launched their attack again, striking the black crystal again and again. With their unremitting efforts, the cracks on the black crystal became more and more numerous and larger. Finally, with a loud bang, the black crystal completely shattered, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air.

As the black crystals shattered, the entangled black vines instantly lost their vitality, withered and fell off, no longer posing a threat to them.

"Huh, finally got rid of these annoying vines." Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Well, but there may be other dangers in this jungle, we have to keep moving forward," Lu Fei said.

They continued to walk through the jungle, and soon encountered a group of strange dark creatures. These creatures were short and humanoid, but covered with black scales, with sharp horns on their heads, eyes flashing strange red light, and holding simple weapons in their hands, which seemed to be made of bones and stones.

"These guys again, looks like we have to fight again." Naruto said with a frown.

Lu Fei did not respond. He rushed directly towards one of the dark creatures. The flame and lightning power on the Thunder Flame Sword instantly exploded, performing the "Flame Thunder Flash Slash". A ray of fire and lightning sword energy slashed towards the dark creature, hitting the dark creature's body, leaving a mark on its scales, but did not cause any substantial damage to it.

Seeing this, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many of them rushed towards the group of dark creatures. The shadow clones engaged in a fierce close combat with the dark creatures. Some of them hugged the bodies of the dark creatures, and some tried to snatch their weapons and try to distract them. The real Naruto gathered chakra on the side, ready to use a powerful ninjutsu to deliver a fatal blow.

During the battle with the dark creatures, Lu Fei discovered that although these creatures were not large in size, they cooperated well with each other and seemed to be moving in a certain formation, and their leg joints looked relatively weak.

"Naruto, attack their leg joints!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to attack the dark creatures' leg joints. The real Naruto then used "Senjutsu Wind Style Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken" and threw it at the leg joint of one of the dark creatures.

The spiral shuriken accurately hit the dark creature's leg joint. Under the powerful chakra impact, cracks instantly appeared in that relatively weak part. The dark creature let out a painful roar and its body began to shake.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon Slash". He increased the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme and slashed at the dark creature's leg joints with all his strength. This sword contained a powerful force and successfully shattered the dark creature's leg joints. The dark creature's huge body fell down with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

The other dark creatures became even crazier when they saw their companions being defeated. They attacked Lu Fei and Naruto desperately, and some dark creatures even rushed towards them without caring about their own safety, trying to hit them with the weapons in their hands.

Lu Fei and Naruto cooperated with each other and continued to fight the remaining dark creatures. They continued to use powerful attack methods and gradually gained the upper hand. After a hard fight, they finally wiped out all the dark creatures.

"These guys are really hard to deal with." Naruto wiped the sweat from his face.

"Well, but we can't take it lightly. There may be other hidden dark forces on this continent. We have to keep moving forward." Lu Fei said.

They continued to move forward in the jungle, gradually approaching the edge of the jungle. However, just as they were about to walk out of the jungle, a huge dark barrier suddenly appeared in front of them. This barrier was so high that it reached the sky, emitting a strong dark aura, completely blocking their way.

"What's going on here?" Naruto asked with a frown.

Lu Fei said solemnly: "It seems that this is another obstacle set up by the dark forces. We have to find a way to break it."

They walked to the dark barrier and began to observe its characteristics carefully. After some observation, they found that the dark barrier would have a brief fluctuation when absorbing the surrounding dark aura, which might be its flaw.

"Naruto, when the barrier fluctuates, we will attack together!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately prepared himself. When the dark barrier fluctuated again, Lu Fei used the "Flame Thunder Explosion Slash", and the flames and lightning on the Thunder Sword slashed towards the fluctuation of the dark barrier. Naruto then used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan" and threw the Rasengan in the same direction.

Their attacks simultaneously hit the wave of the dark barrier, and the powerful force caused a violent explosion. The energy shock generated by the explosion spread in all directions, and cracks appeared in the dark barrier under the powerful impact.

"Keep attacking!" Lu Fei shouted.

They launched their attack again, striking the dark barrier again and again. With their unremitting efforts, the cracks in the dark barrier became more and more numerous and larger. Finally, with a loud bang, the dark barrier was completely shattered, turning into countless dark fragments that dissipated into the air.

They successfully broke through the dark barrier and walked out of the jungle.
