Chapter 1154 5 lines of formation

Suddenly, the image in the mirror moved, and out stepped figures identical to them. As soon as they appeared, the clones attacked them, using the same moves as their own. Sasuke quickly formed hand seals, sending flames hurtling towards the clones, but the clones returned the fire, neutralizing each other. Naruto charged forward, his fists waving, and the clones responded with the same moves. For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

As everyone panicked, Sasuke calmed down and observed the clones' movements. He noticed that while the clones shared the same moves, their reaction times were slightly slower. He winked at Naruto, and the two began to coordinate, exploiting the speed difference to find the clones' weaknesses. With one feinting and the other attacking, they gradually gained the upper hand.

After a fierce battle, all the clones were finally defeated. The mirror shattered, revealing a hidden door deep within the room. Everyone exchanged glances, then, with a mixture of caution and anticipation, slowly approached the hidden door. A new challenge awaited them. As they approached the hidden door, it swung open automatically, and a mysterious aura filled the air. Behind it lay a vast circular chamber, a crystal ball emitting a strange glow hovering in the center. The moment they entered, the ground suddenly cracked, and a swarm of bizarre little demons emerged. These demons, agile and quick, pounced upon the group. Sakura swiftly executed a ninjutsu, trapping some of the demons with vines, while Shikamaru pondered a countermeasure. He discovered that the demons seemed sensitive to light, so he directed Ino to use a genjutsu to create a powerful flash of light. Taking advantage of the demons' distraction, everyone united and engaged in a new round of battle. After a hard-fought battle, the demons were completely defeated. The crystal ball's light grew even brighter, and a beam of light emanated from it, projecting a map onto the wall. It turned out to be a guide to a deeper secret. Everyone gathered their composure and continued forward, following the map's instructions. Unknown dangers and surprises awaited them. Soon after, they arrived at a narrow passage. Suddenly, scorching flames erupted from both sides, forcing everyone into the middle. Just as everyone was trying to avoid the flames, sharp stone spikes fell from the ceiling. Naruto, with his agility, dodged them repeatedly, shouting, "Everyone, be careful!"

Just as the situation became critical, Sakura discovered some strange runes on the walls of the passage, which seemed to hold the key to unlocking the mechanism. She quickly called Shikamaru over to investigate. After careful observation, Shikamaru deduced the triggering sequence of the runes and instructed everyone to touch them in that order. As the runes were activated one by one, the flames died down, and the stone cones stopped falling.

As they continued to delve deeper, they discovered a vast pool of water emitting a faint blue glow. Suddenly, a massive water snake emerged from the water, its maw wide open, and lunged at the group. Sasuke quickly drew his Kusanagi sword and engaged the snake in a fierce battle. The others also employed ninjutsu to assist Sasuke. With their combined efforts, the snake was ultimately defeated, and the group, once again safe from danger, continued their exploration into the deeper secrets.
