Chapter 1077 Secret Thunder Snake

The mysterious being sensed this powerful attack, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and an indestructible shield appeared in front of him. The combined attack of the Rasengan and Kagutsuchi hit the shield, splashing sparks. Kakashi's Raikiri, Sakura's super-powerful punch, and the mysterious man's special ninjutsu also hit the shield one after another, but the shield only trembled slightly. Just when everyone thought the attack was ineffective, a crack appeared on the shield of the mysterious being. It turned out that although the previous attacks of everyone were resolved, they were not completely useless, and they had been consuming the power of the shield. The mysterious being's face changed, and he hurriedly increased his strength to maintain the shield. At this time, Naruto aimed at the crack in the shield, concentrated all his chakra again, increased the power of the Rasengan to the maximum, and smashed it hard. With a "bang", the shield shattered, and the mysterious being was knocked out by this powerful force, fell heavily to the ground, and lost his ability to fight. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and this difficult battle was finally won. Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, the mysterious being who fell to the ground suddenly let out a strange laugh. His body began to twist and deform, and a more powerful aura burst out from his body. Everyone's face changed suddenly. They had just consumed a lot of chakra, and faced this sudden change, they were a little unprepared. After the mysterious being transformed, it was extremely fast and appeared in front of Sakura in an instant, raising his hand to attack her. Sakura reacted quickly, dodged to the side, and threw a punch at the same time. But the mysterious being easily dodged and rushed towards Kakashi again. Kakashi quickly formed a seal and performed the lightning ninjutsu. However, this time the mysterious being actually directly resisted the attack and continued to approach. Seeing this, Naruto gritted his teeth and condensed chakra again. Although his body was very tired, he knew that he could not give up. Just as Naruto was about to attack again, the mysterious being suddenly stopped and his body began to dissipate. It turned out that this was his last struggle. After overusing his strength, his body could no longer support it and eventually turned into ashes. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again. This battle was finally over. Just as everyone was preparing to pack up and return to the village, a strange light suddenly flickered from the pile of ashes. Then, an illusory figure slowly emerged. It turned out to be the soul of a mysterious being. He said with a malicious smile: "Do you think you can destroy me like this? Although my body is destroyed, my soul still exists. I will curse you and make you pay the price!"

Everyone's face became solemn again, but at this time everyone's chakra consumption was huge and their condition was extremely poor. At this critical moment, a dazzling light flashed in the sky, and a white-haired immortal descended. He was the reclusive wise man of the Otsutsuki clan, who heard the sound of the battle and came to help. The immortal made seals with his hands and chanted a spell, and a powerful purifying light enveloped the soul of the mysterious being. The mysterious being screamed in pain, and the soul was gradually purified and dissipated. The immortal told everyone that there seemed to be a more powerful force behind this mysterious being, and asked them to be more careful when they returned. Everyone thanked the immortal, dragged their tired bodies, and set out on the road back to Konoha Village. However, not long after they left, a faint light appeared on the land again. A shadow that was more blurred than before, but exuding a cold breath, loomed, which was actually a trace of remnant of the mysterious being's soul. This remnant floated quietly and chased in the direction of Konoha Village.

Everyone who returned to the village was tired but glad to have returned safely. Naruto fell asleep on the bed, but the face of the mysterious existence kept appearing in his dream. In the dark corners of the village, the resentment was eroding the village's protective barrier bit by bit, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of. Its goal is to use the people in the village to set off a bigger storm again, and let those who defeated its body pay a more painful price. A new crisis, like a dark shadow, quietly shrouded the sky above Konoha Village. Just when the resentment was about to break through the barrier, the sealing stone that had been dormant in the village suddenly emitted a soft light. The sealing stone is a sacred artifact set up by the first generation of Hokage to deal with unknown evil forces. It sensed the invasion of this evil resentment. The light turned into a barrier, temporarily blocking the erosion of the resentment. However, the resentment was not to be outdone, and it continued to impact the light of the sealing stone.

At this time, Naruto was struggling painfully in his dream, as if he felt the threat of the evil force. Suddenly, the mark on his forehead flickered, and the Nine-Tails Chakra in his body began to surge. Naruto suddenly woke up from his dream, and he felt that there was danger in the village. At the same time, other companions also noticed something strange. Everyone quickly gathered and rushed towards the direction of the seal stone. They knew that a new fierce battle was about to come, and they must destroy the remnant before it broke through the seal stone, otherwise Konoha Village would fall into an irreparable situation. When everyone rushed to the seal stone, they saw that the remnant was madly hitting the light barrier like black smoke. Naruto rushed forward first, condensed the Nine-Tails Chakra on his fist, and smashed it hard at the remnant. The chakra fist hit the remnant, but only made it dissipate part of it for a short time, and soon it regrouped. Sakura, Kakashi and others also performed ninjutsu, but the damage to the remnant was minimal. Just when everyone was a little desperate, the light of the seal stone suddenly became dim, and the remnant took the opportunity to break through part of the barrier. At this moment, Sasuke arrived. He opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and released Amaterasu's black flame, which instantly enveloped the remnant. The remnant screamed sharply and struggled continuously. Seeing this, everyone worked together again, and various ninjutsu rained down on the remnant. Under the joint attack of everyone, the remnant was gradually weakened. Finally, the seal stone emitted a strong light, which completely purified the remnant. After the light dissipated, everyone collapsed to the ground, and the crisis was finally resolved. Everyone understood that there might be more challenges in the future, but they would always protect Konoha Village. Just when everyone thought that everything was settled, the seal stone suddenly trembled violently, and cracks spread rapidly. Then, a stronger and more evil breath than the previous remnant surged out of the seal stone. A huge black shadow slowly emerged, which was actually a trace of the more powerful force behind the mysterious existence. The clone roared and released a powerful energy wave, which shook everyone away. Everyone got up with difficulty, looking at the terrifying existence in front of them, and their hearts were filled with fear. But they did not retreat. Naruto summoned the Nine-Tails Chakra again, Sasuke opened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and Kakashi, Sakura and others were ready for battle. Just as they were about to launch an attack, the Otsutsuki Sage came again. He told everyone that this clone was a back-up plan set by the evil forces. Only when everyone worked together and relied on his power would there be a glimmer of hope. So, under the guidance of the wise man, everyone gathered their chakras together, merged with the wise man's power, formed a powerful light, and shot it towards the clone. The light hit the clone and gradually devoured it. In the end, the clone turned into nothingness. Everyone saved Konoha Village again. They understood that the road to protection was still long, but they would stick to it.
