Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Chapter 168 The Power Was Too Great

The beam of light pierced the sky, bringing with it a profound sense of dread.

That unknown power, like a giant cocoon, tightly enveloped Naruto, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

The group tried to get closer, but were violently pushed back by an invisible force, as if they had crashed into an indestructible wall.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, and the tense atmosphere made everyone hold their breath.

Kakashi, the usually calm and composed elite Jonin, could not hide the worry in his eyes at this moment.

He stared intently at the strange power, his sharp eyes seeming to pierce through all the fog.

He tried to reach out and touch it, but as soon as his fingertips got close, he felt a sharp pain, as if countless needles were piercing him at the same time. He immediately withdrew his hand, and the lingering burning sensation on his fingertips clearly told him that the power was unapproachable.

He knew that Naruto was facing an unprecedented crisis at this moment.

Enveloped in an unknown power, Naruto struggled in agony, his facial muscles contorted, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

His body trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if he were undergoing torture.

This power is constantly eroding him, devouring his chakra, his flesh and blood, and his soul.

"Naruto!" Sakura screamed, tears streaming down her face.

She tried desperately to rush forward, but was repeatedly and mercilessly pushed back by that invisible force.

A sense of powerlessness weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Sasuke clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, staring intently at the ball of power, his eyes burning with rage.

Proud as he was, he would never allow himself to face such a sense of powerlessness. He hated the feeling of being able to watch his companions suffer while he was helpless.

Shikamaru, Kiba, Akamaru, and even Kankuro, who is usually stern-faced, all had serious expressions, their eyes filled with worry for Naruto.

This force was far too powerful, beyond their comprehension, leaving them feeling deeply helpless.

"What kind of power is this?!" Kiba roared, his voice trembling slightly, while Akamaru also cried out anxiously.

Teacher Iruka looked anxious, his hands clasped tightly together, his heart filled with worry as if his own child were in danger.

Just when everyone was extremely anxious and at a loss, Hinata, who had always been somewhat shy and introverted, suddenly took a step forward, her eyes burning with an unprecedented determination.

"No, I'm going to help Naruto!"

Hinata strode confidently toward that terrifying, unknown power.

Her slender figure appeared exceptionally frail under the enormous pillar of light, yet it contained an undeniable power.

All eyes were on her in surprise, wondering why this usually shy and introverted girl would be so bold.

Hinata ignored everyone's gazes; her eyes were only on Naruto, and that figure trapped in the unknown power.

Her deep love for Naruto transformed into an invisible force, propelling her forward, breaking her previous image, and revealing the resilient side of her heart.

Just as Hinata was about to touch that power, Naruto, who was enveloped in it, suddenly began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light burst forth from within the ball of light, piercing through the envelope of the unknown power.

It shone brightly, like the rising sun, illuminating the entire sky.

Naruto's aura underwent a dramatic change, becoming more powerful and majestic.

"Naruto!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks.

"He...he succeeded!" Shikamaru stared wide-eyed at what was happening before him in disbelief.

"Well done, Naruto!" Kiba excitedly waved his fist, and Akamaru cheered joyfully, as if celebrating his master's victory.

The crowd cheered excitedly, their blood boiling with excitement.

Naruto's awakening gave them hope and the possibility of defeating the unknown forces.

Kakashi's tense nerves relaxed slightly as he looked at Naruto bathed in light, his heart filled with anticipation.

However, just as everyone was cheering, an even more powerful evil aura came from afar.

This aura, like a demon from the depths of hell, carried a suffocating sense of oppression and instantly enveloped the entire space.

"What...what is this..." Ya's voice trembled, and the excited expression on his face froze instantly.

Kakashi's expression changed drastically. He looked solemnly in the direction from which the aura was coming and said in a deep voice, "This is not good..."

Chapter 169 Preparing for Retreat

Kakashi's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "Not good! This evil aura... is much stronger than before!" The biting cold wind carried a suffocating sense of oppression, like an invisible giant hand gripping everyone's throats.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, as if foreshadowing a fierce battle about to erupt.

Kakashi reacted quickly: "Everyone, be careful! Get into formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone took action immediately.

Although Naruto had just awakened, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in the face of this powerful evil aura.

He took a deep breath, gathering the surging chakra within his body into his palm. Blue arcs of electricity crackled and danced around him.

Sasuke gripped his kunai tightly, his Sharingan spinning rapidly, its crimson light flickering, and a sharp killing intent emanating from him.

Sakura quickly formed hand seals and cast a medical ninjutsu on everyone, ready to provide support at any time.

Shikamaru frowned, analyzing the enemy's movements and trying to find the best countermeasure.

Kiba and Akamaru also assumed battle stances, one human and one dog, their eyes blazing, ready to charge into battle at any moment.

In the distance, dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The evil aura drew ever closer, eventually transforming into a gigantic monster that appeared before everyone.

The monster was enormous, with a hideous face, and reeked of a nauseating stench.

It let out a deafening roar, the sound waves vibrated, and the surrounding trees snapped and collapsed.

"Go!" Kakashi gave the order, and Sasuke and Naruto were the first to rush forward.

Sasuke formed hand seals and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball roared out and headed straight for the monster.

At the same time, Naruto released the chakra he had gathered, "Rasengan!" The blue energy ball spun in his hand, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and slammed hard into the monster.

boom! boom!

The two powerful forces collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

Sand and stones flew, dust billowed, and the sky was blocked out.

Sasuke and Naruto did not back down and engaged in fierce close combat with the monster.

Sasuke's figure flickered like a ghost, and the kunai in his hand transformed into streaks of cold light, constantly attacking the monster's weak points.

Naruto, relying on his newly awakened power, clashed head-on with the monster, exchanging blows with each punch and kick, each strike containing immense destructive power.

The surrounding land was ravaged, trees were broken, rocks were shattered, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Kakashi and the others watched this thrilling battle with bated breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

They clenched their fists, their palms sweating, silently praying for Sasuke and Naruto's victory.

"Sasuke! Naruto!" Sakura called out anxiously, her voice filled with worry.

However, the monster's power was too great...

Sasuke's attacks, though fierce, were unable to inflict any real damage on the monster.

Although Naruto's Rasengan was incredibly powerful, it was easily neutralized by the monster.

"Damn it..." Sasuke gritted his teeth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"This can't go on..." Naruto thought to himself, panting heavily.

Kakashi frowned and said in a deep voice, "...Prepare..."

Kakashi said in a deep voice, "...Prepare to retreat!" Before he finished speaking, the monster suddenly threw a punch, which hit Sasuke squarely in the chest.

Sasuke flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed, her eyes filled with worry.

Seeing this, Naruto roared and poured all the remaining chakra in his body into a Rasengan, charging towards the monster once again.

However, the monster simply waved its hand dismissively, sending Naruto and his Rasengan flying.

"Naruto!" Sakura felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

A suffocating atmosphere swept over everyone, casting a shadow over their hearts.

Just then, two figures streaked across the sky like lightning and joined the battle.

"Yo yo! The Eight-Tails' chakra is no joke!" Killer Bee, carrying a huge sword, was enveloped in blue chakra, like the god of thunder descending to earth.

He brandished his knife, hacking at the monster with a deafening roar.

At the same time, Gaara clasped his hands together and manipulated the yellow sand that filled the sky, surrounding the monster.

"Sandstorm Funeral!" Gaara shouted, and the yellow sand rolled like a giant wave, engulfing the monster.

The monster let out a painful roar, its massive body trembling violently.

Under the fierce attacks of Killer Bee and me, cracks began to appear on the monster's body, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"I did it!" Naruto struggled to his feet and shouted excitedly.

"Go for it!" Hope rekindled in Sakura's eyes, and her clenched fists trembled slightly.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, something unexpected happened.

The monster suddenly opened its massive maw and began frantically absorbing the surrounding dark power.

Its already enormous body swelled up again, its cracked skin healed and even became harder.

It let out a deafening roar, its scarlet eyes fixed on the crowd, radiating a chilling killing intent.

"Oh no! Its power has increased!" Kakashi's expression changed drastically, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

The monster suddenly raised one hand, and a ball of black energy condensed in its palm, radiating a destructive aura.

"This is..." Kakashi's pupils shrank, his heart filled with shock.

"Get out of the way!" Kakashi yelled, but it was too late...

The monster slammed the energy ball in its hand into the ground.

"boom--".

Chapter 170 Combined Attack

The black energy ball in the monster's hand, carrying an aura of destruction, slammed violently into the ground.

The deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The black energy wave, like a flood bursting its banks, swept towards everyone with overwhelming force.

The wind howled, and sand and stones flew everywhere, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

The air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression, making even breathing difficult.

Kakashi's silver hair danced in the wind, his Sharingan spun rapidly, and his brain worked at high speed, analyzing the properties and weaknesses of this energy.

Time seemed to stand still, and everything around him became blurry, except for the ever-approaching black energy wave, which clearly entered his vision.

He must find a solution in a very short time, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto gripped Sakura's hand tightly, his voice trembling. Sakura also gripped Naruto's hand tightly in return, her face pale and her lips trembling slightly.

Sasuke clenched his teeth, his fists cracking as he struggled to suppress his fear.

Kiba hugged Akamaru tightly, and Akamaru let out a low whimper, as if sensing its master's fear.

Kankuro, Gaara, Temari, and Maki stood back to back, ready for battle.

At this critical moment, Kakashi suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Shikamaru!" His voice was firm and powerful.

Shikamaru, who had always seemed clever and lazy, actually rushed out and stood at the very front of the group.
