Naruto Bond

Chapter 993 Uneasiness

As soon as Lu Fei and Naruto stepped into the valley, they felt a strange force quietly enveloping them. The air around them became sticky and their movements became a little slower. The valley was filled with the fragrance of flowers, but this sweet smell seemed to contain some kind of magic that made people slack off.

Not far away, a group of colorful butterflies fluttered over. The patterns on their wings were gorgeous and dazzling, shimmering in the sun. They fluttered around Lu Fei and Naruto, seemingly pleasing to the eye, but in fact, every time they flapped their wings, fine powder fell.

Lu Fei became alert and quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, shouting, "Naruto, don't inhale the powder!" Naruto nodded, held his breath, and used wind escape to try to blow away the butterflies and the powder. But the butterflies were very agile, and after avoiding the wind escape, they attacked more fiercely, and the powder gathered more and more, gradually forming a cloud of mist.

In the mist, the two were unable to see clearly, but they could hear strange noises, like the galloping of thousands of troops and the roar of wild beasts. Suddenly, a series of black shadows emerged from the mist. They turned out to be a group of black panthers with agile bodies and bloodshot eyes. The black panthers moved swiftly, their sharp teeth and claws gleaming coldly in the darkness, and they pounced on the two.

Lu Fei clenched his two swords and used the "Double Flame and Thunder Slash". The power of thunder and fire turned into interlaced arcs of light, repelling several black panthers. Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and the shadow clones fought the black panthers in close combat. The real Naruto observed while quickly forming seals: "Senjutsu? Molten Release? Rasenshuriken!" The high-temperature Molten Release Rasenshuriken flew out and hit a black panther. The black panther was instantly wrapped in flames, roared in pain, and rolled on the ground.

Lu Fei discovered that after each attack by the black panthers, a piece of lighter fur would briefly appear on their abdomens, where the defense was weaker. "Naruto, hit their stomachs!" Lu Fei shouted. Hearing this, Naruto directed his shadow clones to focus on the abdomens of the black panthers, and his main body also switched to ninjutsu, hitting the vital points one after another. The black panthers gradually lost their fighting power and dissipated in the mist.

As the black panther retreated, the fog slowly dissipated, and an ancient stone gate hidden behind the flowers appeared in front of him. The stone gate was engraved with exquisite patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects. It seemed peaceful, but it revealed a mysterious forbidden power. Lu Fei reached out to touch the stone gate, and suddenly felt a force like an electric current coming, which made him retract his hand.

Naruto activated Sage Mode and paced around the stone gate to examine it. After a moment, he said, "This stone gate needs to be injected with energy in a specific order before it can be opened. There are clues in the pattern." The two of them looked at it carefully and found that the arrangement of flowers, birds, fish and insects actually conformed to the principle of the five elements.

Lu Fei attached the power of thunder and fire to the Thunder Sword, and Naruto condensed the chakra of the corresponding attributes and injected them into the grooves of the stone door one by one. As the last bit of energy was integrated, the stone door slowly opened, and a fresh and ancient breath came to the face.

Inside the gate was a gorgeous courtyard with a small pavilion in the middle. In the pavilion was a jade chessboard with black and white chess pieces scattered around, as if playing out a silent battle. Before they could get close, the chess pieces on the board suddenly flew up and turned into puppets holding weapons, rushing towards them.

Lu Fei used the "Phantom Star Sword Technique" and his sword shadow clones fought with the puppets, disrupting their offensive. Naruto then used the Shadow Clone Technique and his main body quickly formed a seal: "Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" A huge Rasenshuriken rushed into the group of puppets, knocking many of them away.

Lu Fei observed the puppets and found that every time they swung their swords to attack, an energy spot would briefly appear at the back of their necks, which was their weak point. "Naruto, attack the back of their necks!" Lu Fei shouted. Naruto ordered his shadow clones to change direction, and the main body used "Senjutsu? Melt Release? Rasenshuriken" to accurately strike the puppets' backs of their necks, causing them to break into pieces and scatter all over the ground.

After dealing with the puppets, they walked towards the pavilion and found an exquisite brocade box next to the chessboard. When they opened the brocade box, they found a jade-like pill inside. The pill emitted a soft halo and a faint medicinal fragrance. Lu Fei picked up the pill and could feel the majestic vitality and energy contained in it. Maybe it could heal serious injuries and restore vitality at a critical moment.

"This is a good thing, let's keep it." Lu Fei said, and Naruto smiled and nodded. After putting away the pills, they left the courtyard and continued to explore the valley. The deeper they went, the more bizarre the flowers and plants around them became. Some were shaped like bells, making crisp sounds when the wind blew; some flowers were as big as millstones, and there were tiny elves hidden in the stamens, peeping at them curiously.

Suddenly, there was a bright light ahead, and a crystal palace appeared before their eyes. The palace was crystal clear, reflecting colorful light, magnificent, yet inexplicably awe-inspiring. They looked at each other, and walked towards the palace gate with trepidation and expectation.
