Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto walked out of the Crystal Palace with the crystal ball. The sky outside was already dark, and the night was shrouding the valley. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of insects breaking the deathly silence. They did not dare to slack off and hurried back along the way they came, hoping to get out of this valley full of unknowns as soon as possible.

Not long after they walked, a cold mist swept in from behind. The mist was icy cold, and wherever it passed, the flowers and plants were instantly covered with a layer of white frost. Lu Fei and Naruto noticed something was wrong and quickened their pace, but the mist seemed to have life and spread rapidly, and soon enveloped the two of them.

In the fog, visibility was extremely low, and they could only stand back to back, alert to their surroundings. Suddenly, the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground came from far away, and then several tall skeleton warriors with a foul smell slowly approached. These skeleton warriors had green flames burning in their eye sockets, and they were waving rusty iron chains and swords in their hands, and they were approaching step by step.

Lu Fei used the "Flame Lightning Slash" to try to disperse the skeleton warriors with the sharp sword energy, but the sword energy hit the skeletons, only a few sparks were created, and no real damage was caused. Seeing this, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many shadow clones swarmed up, hugging the hands and feet of the skeleton warriors, trying to restrict their movements. The real Naruto quickly formed seals on the side, preparing to use a powerful ninjutsu to give a heavy blow.

"Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" Naruto shouted, and a huge Rasenshuriken flew towards the densest part of the skeleton warriors. The Rasenshuriken grew bigger as it flew, and the powerful force sucked several skeleton warriors into it. With a violent explosion, the skeleton warriors were blown to pieces, but they quickly pieced themselves together and continued to attack.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that every time these skeleton warriors swung their weapons to attack, energy fluctuations would briefly appear at the connection of their spines, which might be their weak spot. "Naruto, attack the connection of their spines!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change the direction of attack and attack the skeleton warrior's spine connection. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken", and the high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken with blazing flames accurately hit the spine connection of a skeleton warrior. After the skeleton warrior's spine connection was hit, his body shook several times in an instant, and the power of the attack was greatly weakened.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon-Breaking Slash", increasing the power of his two swords to the extreme, and slashed at the spine connection of the other skeleton warriors with all his strength. Under their attack, the spines of the skeleton warriors were damaged, and they eventually fell down and turned into piles of broken bones.

After solving the threat of the skeleton warriors, the fog gradually dissipated. They continued on their way and finally walked out of the valley. At this time, a glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon, and a new day was about to begin.

They walked along a winding path and soon came to a bustling town. The streets of the town were bustling with people coming and going, and the streets were filled with all kinds of stalls selling a wide variety of goods, including delicious food, exquisite handicrafts, and all kinds of strange gadgets.

Lu Fei and Naruto shuttled among the crowd, feeling the long-lost atmosphere of fireworks. However, they keenly noticed that although the faces of the townspeople were smiling, their eyes revealed a hint of fear and uneasiness.

"Something seems to be wrong here. Let's find someone to ask." Lu Fei said.

They walked into a tavern, found an empty seat, sat down, and ordered some food and drinks. While the dishes were being served, Lu Fei asked the tavern owner about the situation. The tavern owner was a fat middle-aged man. He sighed and said, "My two guests, you may not know that a ferocious monster has appeared in the forest outside the town recently. It often appears at night and has not only taken away many livestock, but also injured several villagers. Everyone is in a panic, fearing that the monster will break into the town one day."

"So that's what this monster looks like?" Naruto asked.

The tavern owner described it as follows: "The monster was huge, like a bear, but it had two long fangs, was covered with black hair, and had flaming eyes. It was very scary."

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other and had already made a plan in mind. After finishing their meal, they headed towards the forest outside the town.
