Chapter 1113 Fusion

As Naruto struggled to merge his powers, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly critical. Sasuke was hit by a powerful ninjutsu to protect Sakura and fell to the ground. Shikamaru commanded his teammates to defend while thinking about how to defeat the enemy, but it was difficult to reverse the disadvantage. At this time, the power of the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body began to resonate with the ancient power, and he could feel a new power surging in his body. As this power gradually increased, a dazzling light emanated from Naruto's body. Where the light enveloped, the ninjas who were eroded by darkness stopped attacking and struggled with painful expressions. It turned out that this fusion power had the effect of purifying darkness. Naruto took the opportunity to gather his strength and performed a powerful ninjutsu to repel all the enemies around him. Seeing this, everyone's morale was boosted and they launched a counterattack. Those purified ninjas also regained consciousness and joined the team to fight against the evil forces. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the enemy was completely defeated. And they were one step closer to uncovering the truth about the evil force. After the battle, everyone gathered around Naruto, their eyes full of amazement and admiration. Sasuke patted Naruto on the shoulder and smiled: "Well done, Naruto." Sakura also admired him: "Naruto, you have become stronger!"

However, Naruto's face was not relaxed. He felt that there seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind this evil force. At this moment, a mysterious figure appeared at the edge of the battlefield. He was covered in a black robe and his face could not be seen. "Huh, do you think this is the end? This is just the beginning." The mysterious man said coldly.

Everyone became alert and took up a fighting stance. Naruto took a deep breath, and the fusion power in his body surged again. He looked at the mysterious man and said firmly: "No matter who you are, we will not let you continue to do evil!" The mysterious man laughed wildly, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Shikamaru frowned and analyzed: "It seems that the enemy has not given up. We must find out their conspiracy as soon as possible." So, everyone decided to split up and collect clues to prepare for the next battle. Naruto continued to practice with concentration, trying to fully master this fusion power. During Naruto's training, other teams sent back news one after another. Shikamaru discovered that the enemy seemed to be collecting an ancient ninjutsu scroll, which may contain a huge dark power. On Sasuke's side, he tracked down a mysterious man who had appeared in an abandoned village.

After Naruto learned the news, he decided to stop training and reunite with everyone. They came to the abandoned village, and as soon as they stepped in, they felt a gloomy atmosphere. Suddenly, a large number of puppet ninjas emerged from all directions and surrounded them. These puppet ninjas were agile and sharp in attack, and everyone was in a tough battle for a while.

Naruto once again stimulated the power of fusion, shining brightly, but these puppet ninjas were not affected by the purification. Just when everyone was a little overwhelmed, the mysterious man appeared again. He smiled arrogantly and said, "This is a gift specially prepared for you, enjoy it!" Naruto glared at him and secretly vowed to uncover the true face of the mysterious man and crush their conspiracy. At this time, a more intense battle was about to break out. As soon as the mysterious man finished speaking, the puppet ninjas' offensive became more and more fierce. Naruto dodged the attack while observing the flaws of the puppet ninjas, but they cooperated closely and had no chance to take advantage of it. Suddenly, Sasuke found that the mysterious man was holding those ancient ninjutsu scrolls in his hands, and seemed to be controlling the puppet ninjas. He made a prompt decision and used fire escape to attack the mysterious man. The mysterious man easily dodged and took the opportunity to control the puppet ninjas to besiege Sasuke. Just when Sasuke was in crisis, Sakura arrived in time and treated him with medical ninjutsu. Shikamaru commanded other teammates to form a defensive formation to minimize casualties. Seeing this, Naruto decided to go all out. He concentrated his mind and allowed the power of the Nine-Tails to merge deeply with the ancient power, forming a powerful energy field around his body. The energy field spread outward and actually shattered some of the puppet ninjas. The mysterious man's face changed, realizing that Naruto was not easy to deal with, he put away the scroll and prepared to escape. Naruto was not willing to let him go, so he rushed over in an instant and started a close combat with the mysterious man. A thrilling duel began... In the close combat, the mysterious man was extremely agile, and every attack was hidden. Naruto relied on the power of fusion to barely deal with him. The mysterious man seized the opportunity and suddenly shot several hidden weapons from his sleeves. Naruto dodged sideways, but was accidentally kicked in the abdomen by the mysterious man and flew back several meters. Just as the mysterious man was about to attack again, Sasuke and Sakura arrived in time and attacked the mysterious man from both sides. The mysterious man sneered, quickly formed seals with his hands, and summoned more puppet ninjas to surround them.

Shikamaru commanded other teammates to attack the puppet ninjas with various ninjutsu, but these puppet ninjas were like steel bodies and were difficult to be completely destroyed. The fusion power in Naruto's body was gradually consumed, and he felt a little powerless. At this moment, a voice sounded in Naruto's mind: "Don't give up, kid, let the two powers reach a perfect balance." Naruto's heart moved, and he tried to make the power of the Nine-Tails and the ancient power blend with each other and no longer conflict. In an instant, his body burst out with a more powerful light, breaking through the encirclement of the puppet ninjas in one fell swoop. Seeing that the situation was not good, the mysterious man turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the darkness. Everyone knew that the battle was far from over, but they were also more determined to uncover the conspiracy. After Naruto broke through the encirclement, he did not rush to chase the mysterious man, but first checked the situation of his teammates. Sasuke suffered some minor injuries, and Sakura was quickly treating him. Shikamaru and other teammates were also a little tired, but they were fine. Naruto took a deep breath and said to everyone, "Everyone, recover your strength first. Although the mysterious man escaped this time, we have found some clues."

Everyone began to rest on the spot. Shikamaru analyzed: "The mysterious man's ninjutsu that summoned puppet ninjas should be related to those ancient scrolls. We have to find the whereabouts of the scrolls." Sasuke nodded: "I tracked the mysterious man to appear in an abandoned village before. Maybe there are clues there."

So, everyone went to the abandoned village again. As soon as they arrived at the center of the village, the ground suddenly cracked, and another group of more powerful puppet ninjas emerged from underground. These puppet ninjas were faster and more powerful, and everyone was in a tough battle again. Naruto concentrated his mind and let the fusion power run steadily. He rushed towards the group of puppet ninjas, and every move brought a powerful purifying force. Under the leadership of Naruto, his teammates also displayed their own special skills. After a fierce battle, they finally broke through the siege again. And in the depths of the village, they vaguely saw the figure of the mysterious man in black robes, and a new duel was about to begin.
