Chapter 1071 Fighting to the Death

The crisis was temporarily resolved. Naruto ran to Kakashi and asked with concern: "Teacher Kakashi, are you okay?" Kakashi waved his hand and said with relief: "Naruto, thanks for your timely appearance." At this time, the support ninjas from Konoha Village also arrived. After briefly reporting the situation on the scene, everyone returned to the village together. Back in Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage said seriously: "The action of the Akatsuki organization this time is obviously aimed at certain intelligence. Everyone should not take it lightly." Naruto patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely protect Konoha Village and will not let the Akatsuki organization succeed again!" Kakashi suggested strengthening the village's vigilance and intelligence collection. After that, Naruto began to train harder. He knew that only by making himself stronger could he protect important people. On the Akatsuki side, Black Zetsu was planning the next action in a secret place, and a new storm seemed to be brewing quietly. While Naruto was training hard, Black Zetsu's conspiracy gradually took shape. He bewitched the members of the Akatsuki organization and targeted the power of the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body. At the same time, Konoha Village strengthened its vigilance, but the Akatsuki organization acted secretly and still found an opportunity to take advantage of. One night, the Akatsuki organization sent two members to sneak into the village. They avoided the patrolling ninjas and quietly approached Naruto's residence. Just as they were about to take action, Kakashi, who had been observing secretly, suddenly appeared. A fierce battle ensued, and Kakashi was fighting one against two, and gradually became a little tired. At this time, Naruto, who was practicing, felt something strange in the village and quickly rushed back. Seeing Kakashi in crisis, Naruto burst out with powerful chakra and fought a desperate battle with the members of the Akatsuki organization. The two sides were deadlocked, and at this critical moment, the supporting ninjas arrived in time and repelled the members of the Akatsuki organization. After this battle, Naruto knew that the threat of the Akatsuki organization was growing. He decided to go to Myoboku Mountain to seek the help of the Toad Sage to further improve his strength to cope with the upcoming greater challenges. Naruto packed his bags, said goodbye to his companions in the village, and embarked on a journey to Myoboku Mountain. Along the way, he slept in the open air and encountered many dangerous beasts and ninjas, but he overcame all the dangers with his tenacious perseverance and growing strength. Finally, he arrived at Myoboku Mountain. The Toad Sage looked at the resolute Naruto in front of him, nodded, and agreed to teach him the magic. In the humid environment of Myoboku Mountain, Naruto began his arduous training. He had to learn to sense the energy of nature and perfectly integrate it with his own chakra. Failed again and again, and started again and again, Naruto never gave up. At this time, the Akatsuki organization did not retreat because of the last failure, and Black Zetsu urged the members to speed up the plan. They secretly collected information about Naruto and prepared to launch a fatal attack when he returned from training. At the critical moment when Naruto was about to master the magic, he faintly felt an ominous breath, as if a more severe test was waiting for him. Naruto looked around vigilantly, but found nothing unusual. However, the ominous feeling became stronger. Suddenly, the surrounding space twisted, and two mysterious masters of the Akatsuki organization appeared. They sneered, and one of them said, "Naruto, your death is coming." Naruto quickly took a fighting stance. Although he had not yet fully mastered the magic, he was not afraid. The battle broke out in an instant. The two masters were powerful and their moves were deadly. Naruto barely coped with the results of his training in Myoboku Mountain, but gradually fell into a disadvantage. Just as the enemy was about to launch a fatal attack, the Toad Sage came with a group of toads to support. Everyone worked together to fight against the Akatsuki organization, and the battle was deadlocked. Naruto took the opportunity to concentrate his mind, and at this critical moment, he finally succeeded in mastering the magic. He exuded powerful natural energy all over his body, and his strength increased instantly. Naruto roared and rushed towards the enemy, and repelled the masters of the Akatsuki organization with a few moves. Although this crisis was temporarily resolved, Naruto understood that greater challenges were still ahead, and he must continue to become stronger and protect Konoha Village. The Toad Sage looked at Naruto with satisfaction: "Yes, you have successfully mastered the magic, and you need to consolidate it next." Naruto nodded firmly and continued to stay in Myoboku Mountain to practice. Meanwhile, inside Akatsuki, Black Zetsu was furious and reprimanded the two masters for their incompetence. He decided to take action himself and formulate a more thorough plan. Black Zetsu used the intelligence collected by Akatsuki to find a weak line of defense in Myoboku Mountain. A few days later, Akatsuki came out in full force and launched a large-scale attack on Myoboku Mountain. For a time, Myoboku Mountain was in flames, and the toads fought fiercely with the members of Akatsuki. Naruto felt the powerful enemy coming and immediately joined the battle. He used fairy arts to fight a desperate battle with the members of Akatsuki. At the critical moment of the battle, Naruto suddenly realized Black Zetsu's conspiracy. It turned out that they wanted to use this battle to consume Naruto's strength, and then take the opportunity to seize the power of the Nine-Tails. Naruto calmed down, adjusted his tactics, and joined forces with the Toad Sage and other toads to start a counterattack. A thrilling battle entered a white-hot stage. During the battle, Black Zetsu seized the opportunity and quietly went around behind Naruto. Just as he was about to attack, a giant toad suddenly emerged from the ground and swallowed Black Zetsu in one gulp. It turned out that the Toad Sage had expected Black Zetsu to play dirty tricks and arranged an ambush in advance. Naruto took this opportunity to perform a super-powerful magic and repel the surrounding Akatsuki members one after another. Black Zetsu escaped from the mouth of the toad, and in anger, he summoned the hidden dark power. This power instantly made the battlefield more chaotic, and many toads and ninjas were injured. Naruto knew that he could not delay any longer. He concentrated all his energy and perfectly integrated the magic with the Nine-Tails Chakra, releasing a dazzling light. Wherever the light went, the members of the Akatsuki organization dissipated, and Black Zetsu was also blown away by the powerful force. In the end, the Akatsuki organization was defeated and fled. Myoboku Mountain returned to peace. Naruto looked into the distance, knowing that there might be more challenges in the future, but he was ready and would use his own power to protect Konoha Village and the people around him. In the atmosphere of celebrating victory, Gama Sage said to Naruto with a serious face: "Although we have defeated the Akatsuki organization this time, there seems to be an even more powerful force behind Black Zetsu." Naruto frowned, he knew that the battle was far from over.

When he returned to Konoha Village, the villagers lined the streets to welcome him, and cheers echoed through the streets. The Third Hokage called Naruto to his office and said sternly, "Akatsuki will not give up. Next, the village must strengthen its defenses, and you must continue to improve your strength."

Naruto did not slack off at all, he once again devoted himself to training. At this time, in the depths of darkness, a mysterious figure was watching all this. He was the mastermind behind Black Zetsu. He sneered and muttered: "Naruto, this is just the beginning."

Not long after, a mysterious letter was delivered to Naruto, which read: "If you want to protect everything, come to Death Valley." Naruto clenched his fists and decided to go. He knew that a new and more difficult battle was about to come, but he was fearless. In order to protect, he would move forward bravely.
