Chapter 195 The Blessing of Sage Mode
A dazzling light tore through the sky, as if it were a passage for the gods to descend.
After a brief rest, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kankuro, Gaara, Temari, and others from Sunagakure all rushed toward the strange light.
A strong wind howled in my ears, like the low murmur of countless evil spirits.
Everyone's expression was filled with curiosity and wariness.
The light drew closer, its dazzling brilliance almost blinding them.
The light was not pure white, but carried an indescribable color, as if countless tiny particles of light were constantly leaping and intertwining to form a mysterious vortex.
"What is this?" Naruto couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly in the wind.
“I don’t know,” Sasuke said, his brow furrowed, “but it’s definitely not something ordinary.”
"Be careful," Kakashi's voice came from the back of the group. "We can't let our guard down." He cautiously surveyed his surroundings, gripping his kunai tightly.
Just as everyone approached the center of the light, the surrounding air suddenly distorted, and the ground began to shake.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The dull metallic clanging sound reached our ears, followed by countless dark figures emerging from the light.
Those were strangely shaped mechanical puppets, made entirely of cold metal, with eerie light shimmering at their joints.
These puppets acted in unison, as if controlled by some kind of will, and instantly surrounded the group.
"Watch out, they're coming!" Temari shouted a warning, waving her huge fan and creating a strong gust of wind.
Without the slightest hesitation, the puppets immediately launched an attack.
Their claws and blades flashed through the air, carrying a chilling killing intent.
Sasuke and Kankuro were the first to face the enemy.
Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly, tracking the puppet's movements. He wielded the Kusanagi sword, constantly colliding with the puppet, producing crisp metallic clanging sounds.
Kankuro then manipulates the puppet crow to launch attacks on the enemy from various angles.
However, there were simply too many puppets, and their coordination was nothing short of perfect.
Sasuke's offensive was gradually suppressed, while Kankuro's puppet was entangled by several other puppets and unable to move.
"Damn it, what are these things?!" Naruto shouted anxiously, his chakra churning within him.
Gaara controlled the sand, forming walls of sand in an attempt to block the puppets' attacks.
Sakura, meanwhile, was constantly healing her companions in front from behind.
Temari and the others fought back desperately in their respective positions, but the entire team was divided by the mechanical golems' offensive and was caught in a fierce battle.
The mechanical puppets' attacks became increasingly intense, their sharp blades slicing through the air with a piercing whistling sound.
Every movement contained immense power, causing the ground to tremble slightly, and a tense atmosphere permeated the surroundings.
"No, we'll be worn down if this continues!" Kankuro's slightly anxious voice rang out.
Just then, Naruto suddenly stopped, his expression becoming unusually serious, his eyes filled with determination.
He slightly raised his head, gazing at the vortex in the sky that still emitted a strange light.
Naruto took a deep breath and clasped his hands together.
Golden chakra surged around him, and natural energy flooded into his body like a tide. Orange eyeshadow appeared on his forehead, and his pupils turned into the horizontal pupils of a frog.
Immortal mode!
"This is...!" Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise as he sensed an unprecedentedly powerful energy emanating from Naruto.
When Naruto activates Sage Mode, his speed and strength are greatly enhanced.
He flashed and disappeared from his spot, reappearing behind a puppet.
A golden fist, imbued with powerful chakra, slammed into the puppet's back.
With a loud "bang," the metal puppet was instantly smashed into pieces, scattering all over the ground.
Naruto moved through the puppet horde like a ghost, each punch accompanied by a crisp sound of metal shattering.
His movements were fluid and decisive, each attack precise and deadly.
"Amazing!" Sakura exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration.
"Naruto, he's become so strong!" Kiba couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and even Akamaru beside him wagged his tail excitedly.
"Hmph, not bad." Sasuke said this, but a hint of surprise was also in his eyes.
Seeing Naruto's incredible prowess, their previously low morale instantly soared.
"Naruto, do your best!"
"Defeat these guys!"
The cheers from his companions fueled Naruto's fighting spirit.
He moved like lightning, using both fists and feet to shatter the puppets one by one.
Just then, a cry of pain rang out.
Naruto's heart tightened, and he looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Hinata clutching her arm, her face pale.
"Hinata!" Naruto felt a surge of anxiety and immediately rushed to Hinata's side.
"I'm fine..." Hinata blushed slightly when she saw Naruto's concerned look.
"Be careful," Naruto said softly, gently supporting Hinata.
Those around him smiled knowingly at the sight.
"Ahem, now is not the time for romance," Kakashi coughed lightly, offering a reminder.
Naruto nodded and threw himself back into the battle.
With the help of Sage Mode, he quickly eliminated all the remaining puppets.
However, at that moment, the light in the sky suddenly became even more dazzling, like a huge vortex that enveloped everyone.
"What's going on?" Naruto felt his body slip out of control, and a powerful suction force pulled him toward the center of the light.
"Hold on tight!" Kakashi shouted, reaching out to grab Naruto's arm.
However, the suction force was too strong, and Kakashi's arm began to slowly detach from Naruto's hand...
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Chapter 196 Many Enemies
The dazzling light engulfed everyone, and the world turned into a chaotic white.
Naruto felt as if his body was frozen in amber, unable to move.
The immense suction disappeared, replaced by an eerie stillness, making even breathing difficult.
He tried to open his eyes wide, but could only see a blinding white, and his ears were buzzing like the fluttering of countless bees.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted with all his might, but his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, as if it were trapped in his throat.
The same stillness and sense of powerlessness enveloped everyone.
Kakashi frowned. He could feel the flow of chakra becoming unusually slow, as if he were sinking into a swamp.
He tried to mobilize his chakra, but it was as if he was bound by invisible chains, unable to move at all.
"What's going on?" Sasuke's voice trembled slightly. He was usually calm and composed, but now he showed signs of unease.
The surrounding light began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, rising and falling like breathing.
This eerie rhythm intensified the oppressive atmosphere.
Sakura suddenly screamed. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with terror, as if she had seen something horrible.
“Enemy…so many enemies…” she murmured to herself, her body trembling.
"Sakura!" Naruto was extremely anxious and wanted to reach out to pull her, but he found that he still couldn't move.
He could sense Sakura's fear, but he was powerless to help, which made him even more anxious.
Others also began to show unusual symptoms.
Kiba hugged Akamaru tightly, his eyes glazed over, muttering something under his breath.
Shikamaru's usual laziness was gone, his brows furrowed, as if he were fighting against something.
Kakashi's heart sank; he knew that the light was beginning to erode their will.
If this continues, they will all be trapped here and die.
He tried to mobilize his chakra again, but there was still no response.
Just then, a withered hand slowly reached out towards Naruto...
That withered hand, exuding a chilling coldness, slowly approached Naruto.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch him, a warm surge of chakra suddenly flowed into Naruto's body.
This chakra was deep and stable, carrying an unbelievable sense of familiarity.
Naruto turned around in surprise and saw Danzo standing next to him, with one hand on his shoulder.
In that single eye, a complex light flickered, no longer the sinister gaze of the past, but rather a hint of resolve and compassion.
"Lord Danzo..." Naruto whispered in disbelief. He never imagined that Danzo would extend a helping hand to him at this critical moment.
Danzo didn't speak, but silently and continuously transferred chakra to Naruto and the other companions around him.
A look of pain appeared on his aged face, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Why..." Kakashi's voice was hoarse and weak. He also felt the warm chakra and was filled with doubt and shock.
Danzo glanced at Kakashi, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The future of Konoha cannot be ruined here..."
As chakra was injected, Naruto felt his body gradually regain sensation, and the feeling of being restrained gradually disappeared.
He clenched his fist, feeling the renewed surge of power, and a raging fire ignited in his heart.
He understood that Danzo was risking his life to buy them a chance to survive.
"I won't let you sacrifice in vain!" Naruto's eyes shone with determination as he transferred the abundant chakra within him to his comrades.
Warm chakra spread like ripples, affecting Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru...
Everyone gradually regained their ability to move.
They looked at Danzo in surprise, then at Naruto with gratitude, their hearts filled with hope and strength.
Just then, a huge image suddenly appeared in the light, as illusory and ethereal as a mirage.
In the video, a blurry figure slowly speaks, its voice low and hoarse, like a whisper from ancient times.
"The gears of fate... have begun to turn..."
Chapter 197 Chakra Resonance
The light gradually softened and became less dazzling.
The enormous image floated in mid-air, like an ancient mural, exuding a mysterious aura.
Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru...
All eyes were fixed on it, and everyone's face was filled with solemnity.
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of everyone's rapid breathing.
"The gears of fate... have begun to turn..." That hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears again, like a whisper from the abyss, sending chills down their spines.
Immediately afterwards, the image began to fluctuate violently, from which countless black energy bodies separated and attacked the crowd like ghosts.
These energy entities moved at incredible speeds, carrying a chilling and oppressive aura.
"Watch out!" Kakashi roared, raising his kunai to shield everyone.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Sasuke formed hand seals and unleashed a massive burst of flame, attempting to engulf the energy body.
"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!" Naruto followed closely behind, his Rasengan whistling as it crashed head-on into the energy body.
