Naruto Bond

When Lu Fei and Naruto stepped into the mysterious forest, it was as if they had entered a completely different world. The surroundings were shaded by green trees, and the lush branches and leaves blocked out the sun. The sun could only shine through the gaps between the layers, creating a quiet and deep atmosphere. There were thick fallen leaves under their feet, which made a slight rustling sound when they stepped on them. The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, and from time to time there were a few crisp bird calls.

However, they knew that this seemingly peaceful forest was full of mysteries, so they dared not slack off and were always alert to the surroundings. According to the clues they had obtained before, the wood element gem should be deep in the forest, guarded by the ancient power of nature.

They walked slowly along a winding path, and not far away, the surrounding trees suddenly began to rustle, as if something was moving through the woods. Then, thick vines stretched out from all directions, covered with sharp thorns, lashing at them like flexible whips.

Lu Fei quickly swung the Thunder Flame Sword and performed the "Flame Thunder Sky Slash". The flames on the sword intertwined with the power of thunder and lightning, turning into sharp sword energy, cutting off the vines that were coming over. But the vines seemed endless, and after cutting off one wave, another wave came.

Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many of his shadow clones dispersed. Some pulled the vines to try to restrict their movement, while others rushed in the direction where the vines spread out, trying to find the source of the manipulation behind the scenes. The real Naruto quickly formed hand seals on the side, preparing to use a powerful ninjutsu to counterattack.

"Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" Naruto shouted, and a huge Rasenshuriken appeared in his hand, and immediately flew towards the densest part of the vines. The Rasenshuriken continued to grow in size during the flight, and the powerful force drew the surrounding vines into it, accompanied by a violent explosion, and the vines were blown to pieces, temporarily stopping the attack.

At this time, they found a huge tree man not far away. The tree man's body was made up of a thick trunk covered with moss and various strange patterns. It had long arms with branches, and the branches on its arms were as flexible as fingers. The tree roots were its feet, deeply rooted in the ground. Its eyes were like two huge green gems, flashing with mysterious light, staring at them eagerly.

"It seems that this guy is controlling the vines. After dealing with it, we should be able to move on." Lu Fei said.

The tree man seemed to understand Lu Fei's words, and let out a low roar, then swung his huge branch arm towards them. Lu Fei was not afraid, and rushed towards the tree man, performing the "Flame Thunder Tyrant Slash", and the power of the Thunder Flame Sword was increased to the extreme, turning into a huge flame thunder sword energy, slashing towards the tree man's arm. The sword energy collided with the tree man's arm, splashing a piece of wood chips, but the tree man's arm was only cut with a shallow mark, and was not seriously injured.

Seeing this, Naruto used the "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw it at the trunk of the tree man. The high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken hit the target accurately with a blazing flame, and a piece of the tree man's trunk was burned. It roared in pain and its attack became more fierce.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that every time the tree man swung its arms to attack, the roots of its trunk connecting to the ground would loosen briefly, which might be its weak point.

"Naruto, attack its root, that's its weak point!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change the direction of attack and attack the tree man's roots. The real Naruto used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan" and threw it towards a loose point on the tree man's roots.

The giant Rasengan hit the target accurately, blowing away the soil at the tree man's roots, exposing them, and even cutting off some of the roots. The tree man's body shook a few times, and he was a little unstable.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Final Slash" and slashed at another weaker root of the tree man with all his strength, successfully cutting off that root. The tree man lost his balance, and his huge body fell down with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

As the tree man fell, the surrounding vines completely stopped attacking and withered and collapsed to the ground.

"Huh, we finally solved this trouble. Let's continue walking deeper into the forest." Naruto said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

They continued along the path. The deeper they went, the richer the natural atmosphere of the forest became. Various rare flowers, plants and trees kept appearing before their eyes. Finally, in the center of the forest, they saw a clear lake surrounded by vines and flowers. In the center of the lake was a small stone platform. On the stone platform was a gem that emitted a soft green light. The light was full of vitality. It was the wood element gem they were looking for.

"That's it, but it doesn't seem so easy to get." Lu Fei looked at the gem and said cautiously.

Just as they approached the shore of the lake, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake surface, and then several water elves jumped out of the lake. These water elves had graceful figures, as if they were condensed from the clear lake water, emitting soft blue light all over their bodies, with delicate and beautiful faces. They held water-blue halberds in their hands, and their eyes were alert.

"Outsiders, do not approach the wood elemental gem. It is a sacred object of the forest and you are not allowed to touch it!" said a water elf who looked like the leader.

"We have no ill intentions. We just need this gem to fight against the dark forces and save this continent. I hope you can give us a favor." Lu Fei explained sincerely.

"How do we know whether what you said is true or not? What if you take the gems and destroy the balance of the forest?" questioned the water elf leader.

"We can prove to you that the dark forces have been wreaking havoc on the continent for a long time, and many places have been destroyed beyond recognition. We have been fighting the dark forces all the way here just to protect this continent." Naruto said anxiously.

After hearing what they said, the water elves looked at each other for a few seconds, as if they were thinking and weighing something. After a while, the leader of the water elves said, "Well, we can give you a chance. As long as you can pass the test we set and prove that you are indeed qualified to use this gem, we will give it to you."

The test began immediately. The water elves waved their spears and water walls surged on the lake, rushing towards Lu Fei and Naruto quickly. At the same time, countless water arrows shot out from the lake, densely shooting towards them.

Lu Fei and Naruto quickly entered the battle state. Lu Fei wielded the Thunder Flame Sword and performed the "Flame Thunder Purification Slash". The purifying power on the sword collided with the water wall and water arrows, trying to dissolve them. Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique. The shadow clones dispersed, some to block the water wall, and some to avoid the water arrows. The real Naruto quickly formed seals on the side, ready to perform powerful ninjutsu to deal with this complicated situation.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that although these water walls and water arrows seemed chaotic, the rhythm of their attacks was actually regular. Every once in a while, the attack directions of the water walls and water arrows would briefly overlap, forming a relatively weak point in defense.

"Naruto, pay attention to the point where their attacks overlap and find the right moment to break through!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to observe carefully and wait for the opportunity. When the attack overlapped, the real Naruto used "Senjutsu Wind Style Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken" and threw it towards the weak point. The Rasenshuriken continued to grow larger during the flight, and the powerful force broke through the water wall, scattering many water arrows and successfully tore a gap.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform "Flame Lightning Slash", transformed into a flame and lightning shadow and rushed towards the gap, and came to the shore of the small lake. The water elves saw that they had broken through the defense line, but did not panic, but continued to attack. This time they gathered the power of water elements together to form a huge water ball, which contained a strong water pressure and crushed towards Lu Fei and Naruto.

Facing this powerful water ball attack, Lu Fei and Naruto approached each other, standing back to back, ready to work together. Lu Fei inserted the Thunder Flame Sword into the ground, and the power of the artifact was injected into the ground through the sword body, forming a solid energy barrier to try to resist the impact of the water ball. Naruto used "Senjutsu? Melting Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw the Rasenshuriken towards the water ball, trying to destroy the structure of the water ball from the inside.

After the spiral shuriken hit the water ball, it caused an explosion inside the water ball. The surface of the water ball showed some fluctuations, but its overall impact force was still very strong and continued to press towards them.

Just as the water ball was about to hit them, Lu Fei and Naruto exerted their strength at the same time, increasing their own strength to the extreme, and sent the strongest attack to the water ball. Lu Fei used the "Flame Thunder Overlord Slash", and the power of the Thunder Sword turned into a huge Flame Thunder Beast, rushing towards the water ball. Naruto used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan", combining the power of the Rasengan with the Flame Thunder Beast, and attacked the water ball together.

Under their combined attack, the water ball finally couldn't bear it anymore and shattered, turning into water splashes all over the sky. The water elves saw this scene with amazement in their eyes. They felt Lu Fei and Naruto's determination and powerful strength to fight against darkness.

"You have passed the test, so this wood elemental gem is now given to you. I hope you can really use it to protect this continent." The water elf leader said, and then signaled the water elves around him to use their power to send the wood elemental gem on the stone platform in the middle of the lake to Lu Fei and Naruto.

Lu Fei took the gem and said gratefully: "Thank you for your trust, we will do our best."

They collected the wood elemental gems, said goodbye to the water elves, and set off towards their next goal - the mysterious waters where water elemental gems might be hidden - carrying the two elemental gems.
