Chapter 1240 Galio

The power of the tail, the immense Nine-Tails chakra enveloping him, created an astonishing aura. Naruto rapidly formed hand seals, "Rasengan!" A radiant Rasengan formed in his hands, which he hurled at the group of dark figures. The powerful force instantly blasted them to smithereens. The mysterious ninjas' expressions changed upon seeing this, but they quickly regrouped.

At that moment, the Meteorite Scorpion discovered an opening in the mysterious ninja leader's defenses. It swiftly charged forward, viciously stabbing at the leader with its scorpion tail. The leader dodged the attack by sidestepping, and simultaneously swung its hand, unleashing a sharp wind blade towards the Meteorite Scorpion. Just as the wind blade was about to strike the Meteorite Scorpion, Naruto arrived in time, shielding it with his body.

"Naruto!" Shangguan Mo shouted, a wave of worry washing over him. Naruto wiped the blood from his mouth and grinned, "It's nothing, just a little injury." With that, he unleashed the power of the Nine-Tails once more, joining the Tailed Beast Spirits in a fiercer attack on the mysterious ninja. The mysterious ninja gradually crumbled, showing signs of defeat. Under the combined assault of everyone, the mysterious ninja were finally driven back, and the plaza returned to calm. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, the leader of the mysterious ninja let out a strange laugh. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A large amount of black mist surged from the ground, and from within the mist, even more dark figures emerged. "Damn it, this is their trap!" Naruto shouted. The Meteorite Scorpion roared and charged forward again. Shangguan Mo also quickly unleashed his ninjutsu, spraying flames towards the dark figures. Naruto, meanwhile, once more condensed his Rasengan, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. Just as the battle intensified, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, and a mysterious figure appeared before everyone. With a wave of his hands, the shadowy figures vanished instantly. It turned out that the mysterious figure was a powerful ninja hidden within the village, who had been secretly observing the battle. He told everyone that these mysterious ninjas seemed to be part of a larger conspiracy, urging them to be vigilant. Everyone nodded in agreement; they knew the challenges ahead might be even more severe, but they were confident they could face them together. Seeing the situation turning against them, the mysterious ninja leader suddenly pulled a strange scroll from his robes, tore it open, and a cloud of smoke billowed out. When the smoke cleared, he had vanished without a trace. Just as everyone was feeling frustrated, the mysterious ninja reappeared nearby, bringing even more reinforcements—so many that everyone gasped. The powerful mysterious ninja frowned and said, "Looks like we need to devise a new tactic." He quickly began to deploy his forces: Naruto would lead the attack on the mysterious ninja leader, while Xingyun Xuanxie and Shangguan Mo would coordinate attacks on the other ninjas, and he would provide support from the rear. The battle resumed, with Naruto using the power of the Nine-Tails to break through the defenses and close in on the leader. Starfall Scorpion and Shangguan Mo were equally formidable, forcing the surrounding mysterious ninjas into a retreat. The powerful mysterious ninjas used their ninjutsu to protect everyone. With everyone working together, the mysterious ninjas were once again in trouble. But just then, the mysterious ninja leader suddenly unleashed an unknown ninjutsu, and a huge black shadow loomed over them. Whether they could escape danger again remained uncertain.

Fortunately, Kennen and Galio, being two dominant deities, drove away the enemy.
