Chapter 1070 The Mouth of the Abyss

However, just when everyone thought everything was over and began to cheer and celebrate, a stronger and more strange aura suddenly spread. A mysterious figure slowly emerged from where the dark clone dissipated. He was surrounded by purple-black light, and his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze the soul. "This is just an appetizer." The mysterious man spoke coldly, and his voice seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld. Naruto and others' faces instantly became solemn. They had just experienced a big battle and their physical strength had not yet fully recovered, but their belief in protecting the village made them clench their fists again. The mysterious man quickly formed seals with both hands, and huge black runes rose from the ground and swept towards everyone. Naruto took a deep breath and prepared to condense the Rasengan again. Sasuke also summoned Susanoo again. Everyone was once again caught in a fierce battle with a powerful enemy, and this time the challenge seemed to be more difficult than before... The battle became more and more intense, and the black runes collided with Susanoo to produce a dazzling light. Naruto's condensed Rasengan seemed a little powerless under the attack of the mysterious man. Just as the mysterious man launched another powerful offensive, Sakura suddenly discovered a slight flaw in the gap between the mysterious man's seals. She acted decisively and used her strange power to rush towards the mysterious man, hoping to disrupt his rhythm. The mysterious man noticed Sakura's approach, smiled contemptuously, and shot a purple-black light at Sakura with his backhand. At the critical moment, Kakashi blocked the attack with Raikiri, but he was also slightly injured. At this time, Shikamaru was quick-witted and used the shadow imitation technique to control the mysterious man for a moment. Naruto seized this rare opportunity and cooperated with Sasuke, one using the super-large jade Rasengan and the other letting Susanoo punch with all his strength. The powerful attack of the two finally hit the mysterious man, and the mysterious man's body shook, and the purple-black light began to flicker. Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the mysterious man actually split into multiple clones and surrounded everyone again, and the battle entered a more stalemate. Just when everyone was surrounded by the mysterious man's clones and fell into despair, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from a distance. It turned out to be other ninjas from Konoha Village who came to support. They quickly joined the battle and fought alongside Naruto and the others. With the addition of new forces, the situation improved slightly, but the mysterious man's clone was not to be underestimated, and the battle was still fierce.

At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the next second he appeared in front of the core area of ​​the village - the Hokage Building. He raised his hand and waved, and a huge black rune blasted towards the building. Just as the building was about to be destroyed, a familiar figure appeared, it was the seventh generation Hokage Naruto. He tried his best to condense an oversized golden Rasengan, which collided head-on with the black rune. The huge energy impact distorted the surrounding air, and Naruto knelt on one knee due to excessive physical exhaustion.

The mysterious man looked at Naruto and smiled coldly: "With this little ability, you still want to protect the village?" Just as the mysterious man was about to launch another attack, Sasuke arrived in time with other ninjas. Everyone worked together and launched a general attack on the mysterious man again... The mysterious man was not afraid of the general attack of everyone. He quickly formed seals with his hands and summoned a huge purple-black barrier. The attacks of the ninjas hit the barrier one after another, only splashing layers of ripples. At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly clapped his hands, the ground cracked, and countless black tentacles drilled out from the ground, trapping the ninjas. Seeing this, Naruto gritted his teeth and condensed the Rasengan again, but this time because of the excessive consumption of physical strength, the light of the Rasengan was very weak. The mysterious man saw the opportunity and rushed towards Naruto, wanting to defeat him in one fell swoop. Just as the mysterious man was about to attack Naruto, a golden light flashed. It turned out that the nine-tailed fox transformed into a huge form and blocked Naruto. The nine-tailed fox roared and shattered the black tentacles. Everyone was encouraged and launched another attack. The mysterious man felt a huge pressure and his body began to tremble. Suddenly, a strong light burst out from his body. After the light dissipated, the mysterious man turned into a child. It turned out that all this was an illusion he set up, and the real battle had just begun. Everyone looked at the child in astonishment. Before they could react, the child grinned and the strange aura surged around him again. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the appearance of the mysterious man, and his strength seemed to be even stronger. The mysterious man made seals with both hands, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Countless lightning intertwined and struck the ninjas. Naruto resisted his fatigue and merged with the nine-tailed fox again. A more dazzling golden light burst out from his body. He shouted and rushed towards the lightning, breaking it up one by one with the Rasengan. Sasuke also activated the complete form of Susanoo, wielding a huge sword and slashing at the mysterious man. The other ninjas also showed their magical powers and fought a desperate battle with the mysterious man. Just when the battle was in full swing, the mysterious man suddenly stopped attacking and laughed up to the sky: "Do you think you can defeat me like this? This is just another lesson I'm giving you." After that, he disappeared without a trace. The wounded ninjas were left, looking at the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, knowing that the battle was far from over, and a greater crisis might still be ahead. Just as everyone took a breath, the village's barrier suddenly sounded a violent alarm. It turned out that the mysterious man had not really left. He controlled a large number of dark puppets to pour into the village from the weak points of the barrier. These puppets were extremely powerful, and wherever they went, there was a mess. Naruto and others had no time to rest, and immediately threw themselves into a new battle. Sakura used medical ninjutsu to treat the injured villagers and ninjas, while looking for the puppets' weaknesses. Shikamaru commanded everyone to fight from a high place and deployed combat forces.

In the fierce battle, Sasuke discovered that these puppets seemed to be controlled by some mysterious runes. He decisively performed the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique to burn the runes, and some puppets instantly lost their ability to move. Naruto also took the opportunity to lead everyone to charge and destroy the remaining puppets one by one. However, just when they thought they had cleared all the puppets, the mysterious man appeared above the village again. He sneered and said, "This is just my appetizer, the real feast is still to come." After that, he made seals with his hands and summoned a huge dark vortex. An unprecedented crisis was quietly approaching. Strange black shadows continued to emerge from the dark vortex. These black shadows turned into various terrifying monsters, and pounced on everyone with their fangs and claws. Naruto and others were once again on guard, and each performed ninjutsu to fight. At this time, Sakura discovered that the weaknesses of these monsters seemed to be in the eyes. She quickly informed everyone of this discovery, and everyone changed their strategy and focused on attacking the monsters' eyes.

Seeing this, the mysterious man snorted coldly, and quickly changed the seals with his hands, and a more powerful giant monster appeared in the vortex. This monster had thick skin and flesh, and the attacks of everyone were difficult to work. At the critical moment, Shikamaru came up with a way to let everyone work together to create a trap to trap the giant monster.

Just when everyone thought they could subdue it, the mysterious man made a new move. He controlled the whirlpool to press towards the center of the village, and houses collapsed wherever he passed. Naruto's eyes widened with anger, and he completely merged with the nine-tailed fox, bursting out with the strongest power and rushed towards the whirlpool. Sasuke also followed and fought against this powerful dark force together with Naruto. While other ninjas continued to fight against the monster, a final battle concerning the survival of the village officially began...
