Chapter 1139 Take a Breath

Just as they were catching their breath, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a mysterious portal slowly opened nearby. A figure in a black robe emerged from the portal, emanating an aura even more powerful and eerie than that of the previous enemy. The black-robed figure spoke coldly, "Do you think you'll be alright once you've dealt with that guy? How naive."

Naruto struggled to stand up and gathered his chakra again. Hatake tightened his grip on his sword, and the ancient ninja quickly adjusted his stance. The black-robed figure waved his hands, and countless shadows emerged from the portal, surrounding them.

At this moment, they felt an unprecedented pressure, but the three of them exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. They once again connected through runes, their fusion power unleashed to its fullest in this critical moment, instantly illuminating the battlefield. Roaring, they charged towards the enemy, engaging the black-robed figure and his minions in a new round of fierce battle, vowing to continue defending justice and peace in this battle against evil. The battle was fierce, with shadows surging like a tide. Though the three fought with all their might, drawing on their fusion power, the black-robed figure's strength far exceeded their expectations. Each attack was easily countered by the black-robed figure, while more shadows continued to break through their defenses, inflicting damage.

Just as they were losing strength, the ancient ninja suddenly noticed a flaw in the black-robed figure. He shouted to Naruto and Hatake, and the three of them quickly adjusted their tactics, concentrating their attacks on the black-robed figure's flaw. Just as their attack was about to impact, the black-robed figure suddenly vanished and reappeared next to the portal.

The black-robed figure sneered, formed hand seals, and an even more powerful force surged from the portal, knocking the three away. Just when they thought the battle was lost, a mysterious light shot out from a distance and struck the black-robed figure. It turned out that a mysterious ninja had arrived in time and joined the battle, fighting alongside the three. With the mysterious ninja's help, they regained their spirits and attacked the black-robed figure again. This time, could they successfully defeat him and end this crisis? The mysterious ninja's attack caused the black-robed figure to pause slightly, and the four seized the opportunity, attacking him like a tide. Naruto unleashed the Rasengan, Hatake wielded his long sword to slash with a sharp blade, the ancient ninja formed hand seals and released powerful ninjutsu, and the mysterious ninja also coordinated with his unique ninjutsu. Although the black-robed figure tried his best to resist, he was temporarily unable to withstand it.

However, the black-robed figure suddenly burst into wild laughter and unleashed a new spell, summoning an even more powerful army of shadows. These shadows were even more ferocious than before, instantly overwhelming the four men. Just as the situation became critical again, the mysterious ninja shouted, "I have a plan, but I need your full cooperation!"

The four quickly discussed their tactics and then launched a coordinated attack. Naruto created multiple shadow clones to draw the enemy's attention. Hatake and the ancient ninja attacked from both sides, while the mysterious ninja concentrated his energy on a crucial jutsu. With their coordinated attack, they finally struck the black-robed figure's vital points once again. The figure swayed, and the portal's power began to weaken. The four pressed on with their victory, and with a final blow, they completely defeated the figure. The portal slowly closed, and the crisis was finally averted.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the ground exhausted. Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, "Finally it's solved. This black-robed man is really hard to deal with." Hatake put away his long sword and nodded, "Yes, if we hadn't worked together, we might not have won." The ancient ninja sat cross-legged on the ground and said slowly, "Although we successfully repelled the enemy this time, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it." The mysterious ninja stood up and said with a firm look, "That's right, we can't take it lightly. On the way here, I noticed
