Naruto Bond

After leaving the mysterious forest, Lu Fei and Naruto followed the clues and headed towards the mysterious waters. Along the way, the terrain gradually became low-lying, and the surrounding air became more humid. They could faintly hear the sound of gurgling water echoing not far away, as if calling them forward.

Soon, a vast expanse of water appeared before their eyes. This expanse of water was a deep and mysterious blue, with ripples on the surface, yet strangely calm. The bottom of the water could not be seen, and a light mist filled the air, making the entire area seem to be shrouded in a layer of gauze.

"The water element gem should be in here. We have to look for it carefully." Lu Fei said, holding the Thunder Flame Sword tightly and scanning the water surface vigilantly.

Naruto nodded, ready to deal with danger at any time. They walked slowly along the edge of the water, observing the surrounding environment, when suddenly, the water surface violently churned, and huge waterspouts rose from the water and swept towards them. The waterspouts were so powerful that wherever they went, the rocks and trees on the shore were easily rolled up, causing chaos.

"Get out of the way!" Lu Fei shouted, leaping aside first, waving the Thunder Sword and performing the "Flame Thunder Sky Slash", trying to use the power of the sword to block the approaching waterspout. The power of the fire and thunder on the sword collided with the waterspout, splashing a large amount of water, which slightly weakened the power of the waterspout, but they still rushed towards the two.

Seeing this, Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and many shadow clones dispersed. Some rushed towards the water tornado, trying to use the power of their bodies to disrupt their rotation; others searched around for the source of the water tornado, trying to solve the problem from the root. The real Naruto quickly formed hand seals on the side, preparing to perform 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 area of ​​the waterspouts. The Rasenshuriken continued to grow larger during the flight, and the powerful force sucked several waterspouts into it. With a violent explosion, the waterspouts were blown to pieces, and turned into water splashes all over the sky.

However, more waterspouts continued to emerge from the water area, seemingly endless. In the process of avoiding the waterspouts, Lu Fei discovered that when these waterspouts rotate, energy fluctuations will appear where the bottom touches the water surface, which may be the key to destroying them.

"Naruto, attack the place where the bottom of the water tornado touches the water surface. That's the weak point!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change the direction of attack and attack the bottom of the water tornado. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken", and the high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken with blazing flames accurately hit the bottom of a water tornado. The energy fluctuations at the bottom of the water tornado were instantly disordered, and the entire water tornado dissipated.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon-Breaking Slash", increasing the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, and slashed at the bottom of the other water tornadoes with all his strength. The water tornadoes disintegrated one after another under their attack, and the water surface gradually returned to calm.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was new movement in the water. A group of water monsters that looked like fish but were huge and covered with hard scales slowly surfaced. These water monsters had wide mouths full of sharp teeth, and their eyes were filled with fierce cold light. They swam towards Lu Fei and Naruto quickly, swinging their huge tails.

"These guys are here to cause trouble again, we can't let them succeed!" Lu Fei said, waving the Thunder Flame Sword again, performing the "Flame Thunder Flash Slash", and sword energy with the power of fire and lightning slashed at the water monsters. The sword energy hit the water monsters, creating sparks on their hard scales. Although it didn't cause much damage, it also slowed down their offensive momentum.

Naruto used "Senjutsu Wind Style Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken" and threw it towards the densest area of ​​the water monsters. The Rasenshuriken grew larger as it flew, and the powerful force sucked several water monsters into it. With a violent explosion, the scales of the water monsters were blown away, and their bodies were injured, and their blood dyed the surrounding waters red.

The water monsters were enraged, and they roared and attacked Lu Fei and Naruto even more frantically. Some of them jumped out of the water, trying to crush them with their huge bodies; others opened their bloody mouths and bit them fiercely.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that every time these water monsters jumped out of the water to attack, the scales on their abdomens would briefly flip open, revealing their relatively vulnerable bellies, which should be their weak spot.

"Naruto, attack their bellies, that's their weak point!" Lu Fei shouted.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change their attack strategy and attack the water monsters' bellies. The real Naruto used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan" and threw it at the belly of a water monster that was jumping out of the water.

The super-large jade Rasengan hit the target accurately. After the water monster's belly was hit, a big hole was instantly opened, and black blood gushed out. Its huge body slammed back into the water, splashing huge water. After struggling for a few times, it became motionless.

Lu Fei also took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Final Slash", slashing at the bellies of the other water monsters with all his strength. The water monsters were killed one after another under their attacks. Their corpses floated on the water, and their blood dyed the surrounding water red.

After dealing with the water monster, they continued to search for traces of the water element gem around the water area. After walking along the shore for a distance, they found a hidden underwater cave entrance. The water flow around the cave was in a strange vortex shape, emitting a faint blue light, which was consistent with the characteristics of the location of the water element gem described in the classics.

"The gem may be in this cave. Let's go down and take a look." Lu Fei said.

They took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam towards the cave. The light in the cave was dim, and only some aquatic plants emitting faint light barely illuminated the way forward. After swimming for a while, they finally came to the depths of the cave, and saw a stone platform emitting soft blue light appeared in front of them. On the stone platform was placed a crystal clear gem, and it seemed that there was water flowing slowly inside the gem. It was the water element gem.

"Found it!" Naruto gestured excitedly, signaling Lu Fei to go over and get it.

But just as Lu Fei reached out to take the gem, a powerful water pressure suddenly surged in the cave, pushing them back violently. At the same time, a blue water curtain barrier appeared around them, with complex runes flashing on the water curtain, which was obviously a restriction to protect the gem.

"This barrier looks difficult to deal with. We have to find a way to break it." Lu Fei said with a frown. They swam to the side and began to observe the water curtain barrier carefully.

After some research, they found that the runes on the water curtain barrier were constantly changing according to the rhythm of the water flow, and there were some energy nodes between these runes. As long as these nodes were destroyed in a specific order, the barrier might be broken.

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then took action at the same time. Relying on their past experience in breaking the ban, they carefully attacked the energy nodes on the water curtain barrier in the order they had inferred. Lu Fei used the Thunder Flame Sword to release precise fire and lightning power, while Naruto condensed chakra and turned it into a power impact, hitting the nodes again and again.

As they operated, the runes on the water curtain began to flash more and more chaotically, the pressure of the water flow gradually decreased, and the light of the barrier slowly dimmed. Finally, the barrier disappeared, and Lu Fei successfully picked up the water element gem. It was cold in his hand, as if he could feel the pure and vast water power contained in it.

"Now we have three gems, and there are still gems of gold and earth elements left. Let's keep looking." Lu Fei said.

"Well, come on, let's get going." Naruto responded.

They left the mysterious waters with the three elemental gems, and based on the clues, headed towards an ancient mineral vein that might contain gold elemental gems.
