Chapter 1155 Difficult Snake

Naruto displayed his skills, collaborating with Sasuke to fight the water snake. Using the Shadow Clone Technique, Naruto conjured multiple clones to attack the snake from different directions, while Sakura tended to any injuries. The snake was cunning, twisting its massive body to evade their attacks and occasionally spewing icy jets of water to drive them back. Just as everyone was struggling, Shikamaru realized the snake's eyes seemed to be its weak point. He immediately shared this discovery with Sasuke. Sasuke understood, seizing the opportunity, and dove in front of the snake. Leaping high, he swung his Kusanagi sword, piercing its eyes. The snake roared in pain and struggled violently, sending the water splattering everywhere. The others seized this opportunity to intensify their attacks, and finally, under their combined force, the snake slowly sank to the bottom. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and continued their journey deeper into the passage, wondering what new challenges lay ahead. Not far into the journey, the passage suddenly narrowed. Strange lights flickered on the stone walls on either side. Then, the ground began to shake violently, and countless small snakes emerged from the stone walls, surging toward them like a tide. Naruto once again used his Shadow Clone Technique to engage the snakes in close combat. Sasuke wielded his Kusanagi sword, slaying multiple snakes with each strike. Sakura dodged the snakes, always ready to heal any injured. Shikamaru calmly observed the situation, pondering his strategy. As everyone busied themselves with dealing with the snakes, the ceiling of the passage suddenly cracked open, and a massive toad fell, crushing a swarm of the snakes. The toad spoke, "I am the Toad Sage, sealed here. Thank you for destroying the water snakes. As a reward, I can help you pass through this place." Everyone was delighted and surprised. With the Toad Sage's help, they successfully navigated the narrow passage. At the end of the passage, a mysterious door emanated. Everyone took a deep breath and slowly approached it, the prospect of an unknown challenge looming through the crack. As they approached the door, it slowly opened, revealing a vast circular space. Strange runes engraved on the walls glowed faintly. Suddenly, the runes shone brightly, and several massive stone statues rose from the ground. Armed with weapons, their eyes gleaming with cold murderous intent, they advanced upon the group. Naruto quickly formed hand seals and unleashed his Shadow Clone Technique once again, a group of Naruto charging at the statues. Sasuke activated his Sharingan, analyzing the statues' attacks, nimbly dodging and looking for opportunities to counterattack. Sakura and Shikamaru stood nearby, Sakura ready to provide support while Shikamaru rapidly pondered the statues' weaknesses. As the battle intensified, the Toad Immortal warned, "The stone figurines' energy comes from the runes on the wall. Destroy them and they will stop." Upon hearing this, the group immediately changed their strategy and attacked the runes together. As the runes were destroyed one by one, the stone figurines gradually stopped moving, crumbling to the ground. The group continued forward, unsure of what challenges lay ahead.

After the mechanism, there is a bolt from the blue. This level is extremely dangerous. Every attack is accompanied by the death of the spirit beast, making it difficult for everyone to move forward.
