Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto continued walking along the stream. The surrounding scenery became more and more quiet and profound. The trees on both sides became taller and thicker. The branches and leaves almost completely blocked the sky. Only a few rays of light came through with difficulty, sprinkling on the gurgling stream, creating tiny glows.

As we walked, we came to a huge pool at the end of the stream. The surface of the pool was as calm as a mirror, but it exuded a mysterious atmosphere. The water in the pool was a deep blue, as if it hid endless secrets, and people could not see its depth.

"This pool of water doesn't look simple. Maybe there is some danger waiting for us." Lu Fei said with a frown, and the Thunder Flame Sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if he also felt the potential threat here.

Naruto nodded, activated the Sage Mode, and scanned the area around the pond with sharp eyes, trying to find something unusual. At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the pond, and then a huge water beast slowly emerged from the water.

This water beast is shaped like a dragon, covered with hard scales that sparkle with blue light, with a pair of sharp horns on its head, and a pair of big eyes like copper bells that shone with cold light. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and spurted out a powerful stream of water, sweeping towards Lu Fei and Naruto.

Lu Fei quickly used the "Flame Thunder Sky Slash", and the flames on the sword intertwined with the power of thunder and lightning, turning into a solid light curtain, trying to resist the surging water. The water hit the light curtain, splashing water all over the sky, and the powerful impact made Lu Fei take a few steps back.

Seeing this, Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique. Numerous shadow clones rushed towards the water beast like a tide. Some tried to climb onto the body of the water beast and attack its eyes, mouth and other vital parts; others distracted its attention and bought time for the original Naruto to perform ninjutsu.

Naruto quickly formed a seal and shouted, "Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" A huge Rasenshuriken appeared in his hand and flew towards the water beast's head. The Rasenshuriken grew bigger as it flew, bringing up a whistling gust of wind. The powerful force directly hit the water beast's head, making a dull sound.

After being hit, the water beast just shook its head slightly, and the ferocity in its eyes became even more intense. It swung its tail violently, and the huge tail swept towards the shadow clones like a thick whip, instantly knocking many of the shadow clones into dissipation in the air.

During the fierce confrontation, Lu Fei noticed that every time the water beast swung its tail or launched an attack, a brief gap would appear on the scales on its abdomen, and the defense there seemed to be weaker than other parts.

"Naruto, attack the gaps between the scales on its abdomen, that's its weak point!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered the remaining shadow clones to change the direction of attack and attack the vital parts of the water beast's abdomen. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken", and the high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken with blazing flames accurately hit the gap between the scales of the water beast's abdomen.

After the water beast was hit in the abdomen, it let out a painful roar. Part of the scales there were burnt, and its body rolled over in pain. The originally fierce attack suddenly became chaotic.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon Slash", increasing the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, and slashed at the injured part of the water beast's abdomen with all his strength. With this sword, a long cut was made on the water beast's abdomen, and blue blood gushed out, dyeing the surrounding pool red.

After suffering a severe blow, the water beast roared angrily and dived into the water. For a moment, the water surface was so turbulent that it was impossible to see its movements clearly.

"Be careful, it will definitely attack again!" Lu Fei warned, staring at the water surface, not daring to relax at all.

Not long after, the water beast suddenly broke out of the water from the other side of the pool and rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed, apparently wanting to make a final desperate fight.

Lu Fei and Naruto were not afraid at all. They gathered their strength again and prepared to face the crazy attack of the water beast. Just when the water beast was about to rush to them, Lu Fei used the "Phantom Star Sword Technique" to instantly create multiple sword shadow clones, attacking the water beast from different directions. Naruto used the "Senjutsu Super Large Rasengan" to smash the water beast's head.

Under the combined attack of the two, the water beast finally couldn't bear it anymore, and its huge body slammed into the pool, splashing high water, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the water, without any movement anymore.

"Huh, we finally got rid of this big guy. It was really difficult to deal with." Lu Fei said with a long sigh of relief.

"Yeah, but this pool is so mysterious, maybe there are other discoveries in it." Naruto responded, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.

They approached the edge of the pool carefully and looked into it, and found that there seemed to be some glowing objects at the bottom of the pool. After some discussion, they decided to dive into the water to find out.

Lu Fei and Naruto took a deep breath and dived into the dark blue water. The deeper they dived, the greater the water pressure became, but they relied on their own strong strength to keep swimming towards the bottom.

Finally, they approached the glowing objects, which turned out to be some crystals emitting soft blue light. The crystals were surrounded by some ancient runes, which were flickering as if telling stories from long ago.

Lu Fei reached out and picked up a piece of crystal. It was cold to the touch, and he could clearly feel a pure and mysterious power of water element contained in it. This power seemed to enhance their control over the water element, and it might come in handy in future battles and adventures.

Naruto also collected a few crystals, and after they carefully put them away, they surfaced and returned to the shore.

"These crystals are good stuff. We have gained quite a lot this time." Naruto said happily.

"Well, but we don't know how many unknown places are waiting for us in this forest. Let's continue on our way." Lu Fei said, and he and Naruto continued to walk along a path beside the pond, heading deeper into the forest.
