Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

That hoarse voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying a chilling allure.

"Lord Danzo, what are you doing!" Kakashi shouted angrily, his voice filled with anger and confusion.

He keenly perceived Danzo's intentions, which were not for victory in battle, but for his own ulterior motives.

"Hmph, how could such power be allowed to fall into the hands of you juniors?" Danzo continued walking, sneering, his eyes flashing with a mad light. "Only I can control this power. For the future of Konoha, I must obtain it!"

"For Konoha? How ridiculous!" Kakashi was furious. He had always been dissatisfied with Danzo's way of doing things, and now he was disregarding the big picture for his own selfish desires. It was disgusting.

Kakashi was about to stop Danzo's crazy actions when he was held back by the other Shadow Hells.

Just then, a strong blue light suddenly burst forth, and Sasuke's eyes shone with an incomparably dazzling light. The scarlet Sharingan pattern rapidly changed and finally settled into a strange six-pointed star shape—the Mangekyou Sharingan!

A powerful force erupted from Sasuke's body, and he charged towards the shadowy ally who had just knocked Naruto away like a sharp sword.

Sasuke's movements were as fast as a ghost, leaving a trail of afterimages with each flash.

His gaze seemed to pierce through all illusions; he could see every single movement of the demonic henchman clearly.

"I have seen through everything about you!" Sasuke said in a low voice, his voice as cold as the dead of winter.

He swiftly formed hand seals, and a black flame containing immense power erupted from his palm, instantly engulfing the demonic figure's helper.

The henchman let out a shrill scream and was quickly reduced to ashes by the burning black flames.

This happened so fast that almost no one had time to react.

"Sasuke, well done!" Naruto cheered loudly, and Sakura and the others were also shocked and delighted by Sasuke's power.

Seeing his helper defeated, the Shadow Demon let out an angry roar.

Its body began to twist and deform, eventually merging with the surrounding darkness and disappearing without a trace.

Everyone stared in surprise at the empty space, cautiously looking around.

"Be careful, it might be hiding in the shadows!" Kakashi said calmly, gripping his kunai tightly, ready to face a new challenge at any moment.

He looked around, trying to find traces of the demonic shadow, but found that he had completely lost his sense of his target.

In the quiet air, only the tense breathing of everyone and the cold sweat beading on Kakashi's forehead could be heard.

Everyone held their breath, carefully sensing the sounds around them.

Suddenly, Shikamaru slowly raised one hand, signaling everyone to remain vigilant.

Chapter 188 A Bunch of Useless Trash

The air was thick with tension, like a taut string, ready to snap at any moment.

The group moved cautiously, their eyes scanning their surroundings like hawks, trying to catch any trace of the demonic shadow.

The fallen leaves rustled at our feet, a subtle sound that, at this moment, was like a thunderclap, making everyone tense.

Kakashi's Sharingan spun rapidly, its crimson pupils reflecting everything around him as he tried to see through the Shadow Demon's concealment technique.

He knew that the Shadow Demon's speed and strength far exceeded those of ordinary people, and that a slight mistake would come at a terrible price.

"Everyone be careful, it might be right next to us." Kakashi's deep voice echoed in the silent forest, adding to the oppressive atmosphere and tension.

Naruto clenched his fists, his azure eyes burning with fierce fire. He longed to fight the demonic shadow and prove his strength.

Sasuke snorted coldly, his kunai gleaming with a chilling light; he was ready to fight at any moment.

Sakura gripped the medical kit tightly, her gaze resolute.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and then a dark shadow shot out from underground, rushing straight at Naruto!

It all happened so fast that Naruto didn't even have time to react before he was about to be hit.

At the critical moment, a golden sand wall rose from the ground and blocked Naruto's path.

With a deafening roar, the demonic shadow's attack was blocked by the sand wall, stirring up a cloud of dust.

A hint of seriousness flashed across Gaara's indifferent face as he manipulated the sand to firmly trap the demonic shadow.

"Now!" Kakashi gave the order, and everyone immediately sprang into action.

Sasuke's Chidori slashed through the air with a sharp shriek; Naruto's Rasengan, spun with powerful chakra, hurtling towards the demonic shadow; Sakura, meanwhile, was ready with medical ninjutsu from the rear...

A battle was about to break out, and the surrounding trees trembled from the aftershocks of the fight.

While dealing with the demonic shadow, Kakashi kept a close eye on the surrounding movements.

He felt something was off, and the feeling grew stronger and stronger, as if a pair of eyes were watching them from the shadows...

"Hmph, a bunch of arrogant ants who don't know their own limitations, do you think you can defeat me?" The demonic figure let out a cold laugh, and its body suddenly swelled up, emitting an even more powerful dark chakra.

Danzo stood at a distance, watching the people struggling in the battle, a barely perceptible sneer appearing on his lips.

"It's time..." he muttered to himself, Danzo's sinister gaze fixed on the demonic figure being attacked by the crowd, plotting how to claim all the credit for himself.

He knew that as long as he could personally eliminate the Demon Shadow, he could gain unparalleled glory and power in Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

Greed spread like wildfire in his heart, devouring his last shred of reason.

"A bunch of useless trash, only getting in the way!" he roared, disregarding the safety of everyone else, and charged straight at the demonic shadow.

"Lord Danzo, no!" Kakashi cried out, but it was too late.

Danzo's sudden intrusion completely disrupted everyone's formation. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the demonic figure broke free from its restraints and let out a deafening roar. A powerful shockwave sent everyone flying.

"Damn old man!" Naruto struggled to his feet, glaring angrily at Danzo.

Sasuke's face was also terribly gloomy; he had long harbored resentment towards Danzo's autocratic rule.

Gaara remained silent, manipulating the sand to protect his injured comrades, coldly...

"Hmph, a bunch of brats, what do they know!" Danzo sneered disdainfully, his eyes filled with arrogance and conceit.

"Shadow Demon, prepare to die!" he roared, gathering all his chakra in his palm and blasting it fiercely at the Shadow Demon.

However, the shadowy creature was much faster than he had imagined, easily dodging his attack and sending him flying with a single claw strike.

"Overestimating yourself!" The demonic figure let out a mocking laugh, then launched another attack on the group.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, attack together!" Kakashi immediately gave the order upon seeing the situation.

"Okay!" the three responded in unison, their eyes shining with determination.

Naruto formed hand seals, and his chakra erupted like a volcano, condensing into a giant Rasengan in his hands.

"Spiral pills!"

Sasuke's eyes flashed with lightning, and the Chidori in his hand emitted a sharp cry. "Chidori!"

Gaara clasped his hands together, and golden sand surged like a tide, forming a giant sand giant before him.

"Sand-bound coffin!"

The three simultaneously unleashed their strongest ninjutsu at the demonic shadow.

Three powerful forces intertwined, unleashing a devastating force that completely engulfed the demonic shadow.

The demonic shadow let out a shrill scream, its body began to tremble violently, and finally turned into specks of starlight, dissipating into the air.

"We succeeded!" Everyone cheered and jumped for joy when they saw the demonic shadow destroyed.

However, just as everyone was celebrating their victory, a melodious flute sound drifted from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a mysterious figure slowly approaching, holding a completely black flute in his hand...

"It's you..." Kakashi's Sharingan suddenly contracted, his tone filled with disbelief.

Chapter 189 has disappeared, but...

The flute's melodious sound, like a lament, echoed in the silent night sky, as if an invisible thread tightly wrapped around everyone's heart.

The figure, shrouded in darkness, drew closer step by step, the flute music growing clearer, like a death knell striking at everyone's nerves.

The air was still and the chill was biting. Everyone felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if an invisible hand was choking them.

Kakashi's Sharingan locked onto the figure, its crimson pupils reflecting the other's blurry outline.

He gripped the kunai tightly, his fingertips turning white, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura instinctively gathered around Kakashi, watching the newcomer warily.

The Rasengan in Naruto's hand had long since dissipated, replaced by a tightly clenched fist, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Sasuke's Chidori also flowed silently through his fingertips, emitting a faint electrical sound that reflected on his tense profile.

Sakura clutched her kunai tightly, her long pink hair swaying gently in the night breeze, her emerald eyes filled with worry.

"Who goes there?!" Shikamaru asked in a deep voice, his brows furrowed and his eyes piercing.

He habitually put his hands into his pockets, only to find them empty, realizing that he had already used up all his shuriken.

Kiba and Akamaru also assumed fighting stances. Akamaru roared in a low voice, revealing sharp fangs, and the two of them closely guarded their companion.

"Don't make any rash moves," Kakashi whispered a warning, his gaze never leaving the figure.

He always felt that the flute music and the figure exuded an eerie aura, making him uneasy.

However, Danzo seemed not to hear Kakashi's warning, and abruptly pushed aside the person blocking his way, striding towards the figure.

"Playing tricks! State your name!" he shouted angrily, his tone full of rage and disdain.

The mysterious figure remained silent, standing still as the flute in its hand slowly turned, causing the music to subtly change, becoming more mournful and piercing, like a wail from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Danzo, enraged, could no longer contain himself and abruptly waved his hand, shouting, "Take him down!"

"Stop!" Kakashi tried to stop them, but it was too late.

The figure remained motionless, but the flute music abruptly stopped, and in the deathly silence, he slowly raised his head…

Naruto, his blood boiling, roared, "Watch this! Shadow Clone Technique!" In an instant, dozens of Naruto clones appeared out of thin air, surging towards the mysterious figure like golden waves.

They brandished their fists, launching a fierce attack from all directions, their punches whistling through the air, their momentum unstoppable.

"Well done, Naruto!" His companions shouted, their excitement rising and falling, overjoyed by Naruto's bravery and decisiveness.

However, the mysterious figure remained unusually calm in the face of such a fierce attack.

With a flash, he moved swiftly between Naruto's clones, each strike precise and effortlessly deflecting Naruto's attacks.

The clones burst one by one like bubbles, dissipating into the air and leaving only a wisp of smoke.

The mysterious figure launched a counterattack, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks like a storm.

Everyone felt an overwhelming sense of oppression and quickly dodged.

Huge craters were blasted into the ground, trees were snapped in half, and sand and dust flew everywhere.

Kakashi's Sharingan spun rapidly, capturing every movement of the mysterious figure, and he was secretly amazed: Such speed!

What a powerful force!

Sasuke's Chidori suddenly flashed, a blue bolt of lightning shooting straight at the mysterious figure, but he easily dodged it.

Sakura quickly formed hand seals and used medical ninjutsu to heal her injured comrades.

Shikamaru frowned, his mind racing as he tried to analyze his opponent's moves and weaknesses.

Kiba and Akamaru worked in perfect harmony, constantly harassing the mysterious figure and looking for an opportunity to attack.

Just as everyone was locked in a stalemate with the mysterious figure, the flute music suddenly became urgent, sharp and piercing, as if urging something on.

The next moment, the mysterious figure vanished like a ghost, leaving behind only a devastated battlefield and the chilling sound of the flute.

Kakashi glanced around warily, his deep voice echoing in the night air: "It's gone... but the flute sound..."

Chapter 190 A Trap Hidden in the Dark

The flute's shrill melody, like a mournful lament, seemed to be a call from the underworld, drawing everyone into the unknown depths.

The group had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the sound.

The surrounding trees grew taller and taller, blocking out the sun and swallowing up the last ray of sunlight.

The air was filled with the scent of damp earth, mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers, so sweet it was nauseating.

Kakashi walked at the front, his Sharingan scanning the surroundings warily, trying to catch any clues.
