Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.

The ground beneath his feet began to tremble, and complex runes appeared on the surface, shimmering with a strange light.

Shikamaru's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and his face had turned unusually pale, but his eyes were firm and he did not hesitate at all.

The black energy wave, like a roaring beast, slammed into Shikamaru's defenses.

A dazzling light burst forth, illuminating the entire battlefield.

Shikamaru's body trembled violently, as if he would be swallowed up by this powerful force at any moment.

However, he managed to withstand the impact, which was enough to destroy everything, and cleverly dispersed some of the energy wave's power.

"Shikamaru..." Naruto stared wide-eyed at what was happening before him in disbelief.

Sakura, Sasuke, Kiba, and the others also showed surprised expressions; they had never seen Shikamaru so brave.

Shikamaru's body swayed precariously, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Next..." he said with his last bit of strength, "I'll leave it to you..." Shikamaru's figure swayed, and in the end he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

But he wore a relieved smile, as if he had completed the most important mission in his life.

Shikamaru's actions were like a bolt of lightning, instantly igniting a flame in everyone's hearts.

"Shikamaru!" Naruto roared, golden chakra burning fiercely on his body, and the Nine-Tails' chakra surging wildly, enveloping him in a huge golden energy ball.

"Spiral Shuriken!" he roared, slamming the energy ball in his hand fiercely towards the monster.

Sasuke's eyes turned crimson, the three tomoe spun wildly, and a powerful ocular force erupted.

"Amaterasu!" Black flames erupted from his eyes, like giant black pythons coiling around the monster, sizzling and burning.

Eight octopus tentacles danced wildly on Killer Bee's body, and a surge of violent chakra coursed through his body.

"Tailed Beast Ball!" A huge black energy ball condensed in his hand, emanating a chilling aura.

Gaara's sand surged like a tide, forming a gigantic sand giant that swung its enormous fist and smashed it down on the monster.

The attacks from the group poured down on the monster like a torrential rain, creating a deafening roar.

The monster's body trembled violently, emitting painful roars.

The surrounding space began to distort and deform under the impact of this powerful energy, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The ninjas watching the battle had their hearts in their throats, watching this earth-shattering fight with bated breath.

Finally, with everyone's combined attack, the monster let out a shrill scream, its massive body crashed to the ground, turning into a cloud of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.

"We won!" Naruto jumped up excitedly, waving his fist and cheering loudly.

Sasuke, Sakura, Kiba, and the others also showed relieved smiles, high-fiving each other to celebrate their hard-won victory.

However, just as everyone was basking in the joy of victory, a sudden change occurred.

In the sky, a pitch-black crack, like a hideous scar, slowly opened.

An eerie purple light flickered within the crack, and an unsettling aura slowly seeped out from it.

Kakashi suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the crack, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

"What is that..." he muttered to himself, his voice tinged with barely concealed fear.

"Kakashi-sensei, watch out!" Naruto sensed an inexplicable sense of danger and quickly warned him.

Kakashi didn't speak, but stared intently at the crack, his grip on the kunai tightening unconsciously.

The crack grew larger and larger, and the purple light became more and more intense. A powerful suction force emanated from the crack.

"It's...starting..." Standing in the distance, Madara Uchiha looked at the crack in the sky, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

Chapter 171 Bird Attack

The pitch-black crack, like the pupil of a giant beast, slowly opened, gazing down at the tiny ninjas below.

Purple light flowed within, as if concealing endless secrets, or perhaps lurking with unknown dangers.

A strange energy fluctuation permeated the air, causing a slight tingling sensation on the skin.

"Th...what is that?" Sakura's voice trembled slightly, and she unconsciously gripped Sasuke's sleeve.

Naruto's eyes widened, sparkling with excitement.

"Wow! That looks amazing! It's so exciting!" He was eager to try it out and couldn't wait to rush up and see for himself.

Kiba patted Akamaru's head, his barking carrying a hint of unease.

Shikamaru, as usual, rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.

Kakashi took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.

He knew that as the captain of Class Seven, he had to take responsibility and lead everyone to explore this unknown territory.

He leaped into the air, his chakra surging, and his figure transformed into a white lightning bolt, flying first towards the mysterious rift.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto exclaimed, eagerly following after him.

Sasuke, Sakura, Kiba, Shikamaru, and the others followed closely behind, all flying into the air.

Surprisingly, Sasuke, who is usually very competitive, did not compete with Naruto this time, but instead quietly followed at the back of the group.

His deep black pupils were fixed on the crack, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant demeanor, which surprised those who knew him.

The group lined up in the air and slowly approached the crack.

A tense atmosphere permeated the air, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The closer they got to the crack, the stronger the strange energy fluctuations became, as if an invisible hand was pulling them in, trying to suck them in.

Kakashi raised one hand, signaling everyone to stop.

He stared at the crack, feeling the powerful suction, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone be careful, the situation here is very strange."

Just then, Kakashi seemed to sense something, turned around abruptly, and stared intently at the edge of the crack...

"and many more!"

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, a flock of black birds suddenly emerged from the edge of the crack.

They were enormous, with wingspans exceeding the width of a person, and their feathers shimmered with a metallic sheen, appearing particularly eerie under the purple light.

Before anyone could react, the birds let out sharp cries and swooped down like arrows, launching an attack on the group.

"Watch out!" Kakashi shouted, quickly forming hand seals. "Lightning Blade!" A dazzling bolt of lightning burst forth from his hand, cleaving the leading birds into pieces.

Naruto reacted quickly, his hands forming hand seals in a rapid motion. "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Dozens of Narutos appeared instantly, surrounding their companions and forming a solid defense.

Feathers from flying birds rained down, striking Naruto's shadow clones with muffled "thump" sounds.

A burnt smell filled the air—the odor of feathers scorched by lightning.

Sasuke snorted coldly, activated his Sharingan, and the three tomoe spun rapidly.

His figure flashed, moving like a ghost among the birds. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball erupted, engulfing several birds, which let out a series of shrill screams.

Sakura breathed a slight sigh of relief at Naruto and Sasuke's perfect teamwork.

She gripped the kunai tightly in her hand, her gaze fixed firmly on the battle around her, ready to provide support at any moment.

She could feel the surrounding air fluctuating violently due to the intense collision of chakra, and even the ground trembled slightly.

During the fierce battle, Naruto keenly discovered that the birds' weakness lay in their abdomens.

His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Sasuke, attack their bellies!"

Sasuke understood immediately and quickly formed hand seals. "Chidori!" A piercing bird cry rang out, and a blue electric current surged from Sasuke's arm, transforming into a sharp bird claw that viciously grabbed at the belly of a flying bird.

The bird let out a mournful cry and fell from the sky.

With a breakthrough, Naruto and Sasuke's attacks became more precise and effective, and birds fell one after another, scattering to the ground like black raindrops.

"That's great! Naruto, Sasuke!" Sakura shouted excitedly, her tense nerves finally relaxing.

The others also expressed their admiration, looking at Naruto and Sasuke with eyes full of respect.

Naruto scratched his head, a bright smile spreading across his face, a surge of pride welling up inside him.

However, just when everyone thought the crisis was over, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the crack.

"Not good!" Kakashi's expression changed drastically. He tried to steady himself, but it was too late.

Everyone felt an irresistible force pulling them, sending them flying rapidly into the crack.

"Ah—" The terrified scream echoed in the air, then abruptly stopped...

Kakashi reached out, trying to grab something, but only grasped at nothingness...

Chapter 172 The Source of Electricity

With a sudden, powerful suction, Kakashi felt dizzy and his vision blurred as colorful lights flashed before his eyes.

The next moment, he fell heavily to the ground, and a pungent smell of sulfur filled his nostrils.

He struggled to his feet, speechless with shock at what he saw.

The distorted scene was like a world in a funhouse mirror, with light flickering and changing like breathing.

The towering trees floated in the air, as if controlled by an invisible hand, slowly rotating.

An unknown liquid flowed on the ground, emitting a faint glow, like phosphorescence from hell.

Kakashi blinked hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

He looked around and found Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and others scattered nearby, all looking dazed, clearly not yet recovered from the sudden turn of events.

A tense atmosphere enveloped everyone. Kakashi tried his best to remain calm, but his composed expression couldn't hide his surprise.

He knew they had been sucked into an unknown and dangerous space.

"Where is this place..." Sakura murmured to herself, her voice trembling, her face frighteningly pale.

She gripped Naruto's arm tightly, as if it were her only support.

Naruto wasn't much better off; his eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape, like a fish out of water.

Suddenly, a crackling sound came from the air, and dazzling electric currents, like silver snakes, crisscrossed the space.

Before anyone could react, a thick bolt of electricity struck Sasuke.

"Ah!" Sasuke screamed, his body convulsing violently as he collapsed to the ground.

"Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed, her eyes instantly reddening.

She tried to rush over, but was stopped by an electric current, and could only watch helplessly as Sasuke struggled in pain.

Anxiety and helplessness welled up inside her, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Kakashi's face darkened upon seeing this.

He immediately realized that this space seemed to possess its own consciousness and was full of hostility towards them.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out... "Akamaru, let's go!"

Ya's actions stunned everyone.

The guy who was usually noisy and always backed away when there was danger was like a completely different person today, rushing out first.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes resolute, as if a flame was burning within him.

"Akamaru, let's go!" he roared, his voice filled with unwavering determination.

Akamaru seemed to sense Kiba's determination. It barked softly, pushed off with its limbs, and transformed into a brown lightning bolt, following closely behind Kiba.

The two people and the dog moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they rushed to the place where the electric current was most concentrated.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes. He saw the source of the electricity, a sphere that was constantly emitting a dazzling light, with the surrounding electricity spreading outward like tentacles.

He was amazed by Ya's courage and pleased with the strength that this seemingly timid guy had unleashed at this moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kiba formed hand seals, and chakra surged within his body.

"Tooth!" he shouted, his body spinning like a top, the powerful force tearing the air apart.

Akamaru also cooperated perfectly, flying in the air and constantly hitting the electric sphere.
