Chapter 1099 Shadow Clone

The illusory figure raised his hand and waved it, and purple rays shot towards everyone like sharp arrows. Naruto quickly formed a seal and shouted "Shadow Clone Technique". Countless clones instantly blocked everyone's attack. Sasuke was not to be outdone, he summoned the Sharingan, used the Chidori Sharp Spear, and stabbed at the figure. However, the figure dodged the attack with a slight flash, and also hit Sasuke with a backhand, knocking him out.

Just when everyone was in trouble, the old man among the ancient ninjas suddenly shouted: "I have a plan! We can use the remaining ancient power here and merge it with everyone's chakra, maybe we can fight against it!" Hearing this, everyone quickly gathered together and released their own chakra. When these chakras merged with the ancient power, a new power was born.

Naruto condensed a giant Rasengan with his hands and rushed towards the figure with this new power. The others followed suit and used their strongest ninjutsu. Under the combined attack of everyone, the illusory figure gradually became transparent. Finally, with a loud bang, the figure completely dissipated and the cracks slowly closed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Everyone dispersed after receiving the order. Orochimaru quickly arranged for the Anbu members to sneak into various countries in disguise to collect intelligence. Those Anbu ninjas disappeared into the night like ghosts, carrying out dangerous and confidential missions.

Jiraiya came to the training ground and looked at a group of energetic but slightly immature new ninjas, grinning: "From today on, your devilish training begins!" He first taught them the principle of his Rasengan and asked the newcomers to practice condensing chakra in the water.

Tsunade returned to the medical department, preparing various medicines and guiding young medical ninjas to conduct simulated treatment training. She strictly required each medical ninja to come up with the most effective treatment plan in the shortest time.

The Third Hokage sat in the Hokage's office, paying close attention to the dynamics of all parties. He knew that the upcoming war would be extremely difficult, but he believed in the ninjas of Konoha. Under his leadership, the whole of Konoha Village was united, preparing for the upcoming war in a tense and orderly manner. The air was filled with a sense of depression and tension before the war. Just as Konoha Village was preparing for the war, an urgent secret letter was delivered to the Third Hokage. When he opened it, he found that it was news from a neighboring country. They found that there were mysterious ninjas active at the border, suspected to be related to the forces behind the previous illusory figure. The Third Hokage frowned and made a prompt decision to order Orochimaru to recall some members of the Anbu and go to the border to investigate. After receiving the order, Orochimaru quickly arranged personnel. At the same time, Jiraiya suspended the training of new ninjas and took several stronger disciples to support. Tsunade also selected a group of excellent medical ninjas, ready to deal with possible casualties at any time. The atmosphere in Konoha Village became increasingly tense, and the ninjas were all on high alert. As personnel from all parties were dispatched, a new crisis seemed to be approaching quietly, and whether they could resolve it again and relieve the pressure for the upcoming war was still unknown. The Anbu members recalled by Orochimaru quickly assembled. They were dressed in black, with cold eyes, like sharp blades, quietly heading towards the border. Jiraiya led Naruto, Sasuke and other disciples to gallop. Along the way, he kept teaching his disciples how to deal with unknown enemies. On Tsunade's side, the medical ninjas carried medicine boxes on their backs, looking nervous but full of fighting spirit.

When they arrived at the border, they found it dead silent. Suddenly, a group of mysterious ninjas emerged from all directions. They were dressed in strange costumes and had sinister eyes. Jiraiya shouted and asked his disciples to set up their positions. The battle was about to break out. The members of the Anbu took the lead in attacking. They were ghostly and entangled with the mysterious ninjas. Naruto used his shadow clone to rush towards the enemy, and Sasuke opened his Sharingan to look for the enemy's flaws. Tsunade's medical ninjas were on standby in the rear, ready to treat the wounded at any time. This encounter was extremely fierce. Whether the Konoha ninjas could win in this unknown crisis and reduce the pressure for the war depended on their next performance. Just when the battle was stalemate, someone among the mysterious ninjas suddenly performed a strange illusion, and many Konoha ninjas fell into an illusion and their movements became slow. Jiraiya realized that the situation was critical and hurriedly performed the Toad Singing. The powerful sound waves broke some of the illusions. Seeing this, Naruto took the opportunity to perform Wind Style Rasenshuriken, and the huge wind blade swept towards the enemy. Sasuke also opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and cast Amaterasu, and the black flames instantly engulfed a group of enemies. The members of the Anbu cooperated with them and attacked from the flank. The mysterious ninjas began to panic, but they quickly stabilized their position and organized a counterattack. At this time, Tsunade discovered a weakness of the enemy, and she reminded everyone loudly. Everyone immediately adjusted their tactics and concentrated their efforts to attack that weakness. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the mysterious ninjas gradually couldn't hold on and began to retreat. In the end, the Konoha ninjas successfully repelled the enemy and won the encounter. They had no time to celebrate, and quickly cleaned up the battlefield, treated the wounded, and continued to vigilantly guard the border, waiting for the next unknown challenge. Just when everyone thought the crisis was temporarily resolved, suddenly, the earth began to shake violently, and a huge figure slowly rose from the ground. It was actually a giant puppet made of rocks and soil, and the puppet's eyes flashed a strange red light. The mysterious ninjas saw this scene and smiled proudly. It turned out that they had such a back-up plan. Jiraiya looked solemn and shouted, "Everyone be careful, this puppet may not be simple!" Naruto made a seal again and prepared to launch a stronger ninjutsu. Sasuke activated Susanoo, holding a weapon, ready to fight. Tsunade quickly deployed medical ninjas to prepare for large-scale casualties. The members of the Anbu dispersed and looked for the puppet's weakness. Just as everyone was about to launch an attack, the puppet suddenly opened its mouth and spit out streams of magma. Everyone hurriedly dodged, and the scene was in chaos for a while. However, at this moment, the third generation Hokage arrived with reinforcements. He looked at the situation in front of him, made a prompt decision, and commanded everyone to work together to fight the puppet. With the joint efforts of everyone, can they successfully defeat this giant puppet and resolve the crisis again? The Third Hokage shouted loudly: "Jiraiya, Naruto, use wind escape to disperse the magma; Sasuke, use Amaterasu to attack the puppet's eyes; Anbu members look for opportunities to destroy its joints! Tsunade, lead the medical ninjas to be on standby at all times!"
