Chapter 1253 Trash!

"Poppy? You're not..." Naruto's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. Poppy smiled slightly, "I only faked my death to secretly investigate the source of this strange power." Everyone gathered around, asking about the situation. Poppy said solemnly, "There seems to be a huge organization behind this power. They are trying to use the power of the Ten-Tails to rule the world. Although we destroyed the Ten-Tails, the crisis is far from over." Just then, black cracks suddenly appeared in the sky, from which a large amount of evil chakra surged. "Oh no, this is their counterattack!" Poppy shouted. Everyone immediately stood ready, preparing to meet the new challenge. Poppy gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes resolute, "Don't panic, everyone. Let's fight together, we can definitely defeat them!" With that, he charged towards the evil chakra. Naruto, Killer Bee, and the others followed closely behind, and a new battle began. The evil chakra condensed into ferocious monsters, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on the group. Naruto swiftly formed hand seals and shouted, "Shadow Clone Technique!" Countless Narutos charged towards the monsters, battling them with fists and feet. Killer Bee transformed into the Eight-Tails, wielding his massive tail to sweep away any approaching monsters. Poppy's longsword weaved through the monster horde, each swing leaving a spray of blood. However, evil chakra poured continuously from the crack, increasing the number of monsters, and the group gradually began to struggle. Just then, a mysterious figure appeared from the crack. With a wave of his hands, the monsters instantly became even more ferocious. Poppy shouted, "Everyone, concentrate your strength and take care of this mysterious person first!" Hearing this, the group adjusted their tactics and surrounded the mysterious person. The mysterious person's lips curled into a cold smile, seemingly having anticipated their actions. An even more intense battle was about to unfold, and whether the group could defeat the mysterious person and resolve this crisis remained uncertain. The group surrounded the mysterious person, with Naruto leading the charge, delivering a flying kick. The mysterious figure easily dodged to the side, then unleashed a powerful backhand strike, sending Naruto flying. Seeing this, Killer Bee, in his Eight-Tails form, slammed into the mysterious figure, who instantly formed hand seals, creating a barrier that blocked Killer Bee's attack. Poppy seized the opportunity to attack from the side, her longsword aimed straight for the mysterious figure's throat, but the mysterious figure suddenly vanished, reappearing behind Poppy and kicking him to the ground. Just as everyone was in trouble, Poppy suddenly noticed a black rune flashing on the mysterious figure's body every time he used his ability. He shouted, "Attack the black rune on his body!" Hearing this, everyone readjusted their attacks. Naruto used the Rasengan, Killer Bee lashed out with his tail, and Poppy's longsword accurately struck the rune. Under the combined attack, the rune's light gradually dimmed, and the mysterious figure let out a painful scream. Finally, the mysterious figure's body turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated, the evil chakra ceasing its outflow, and the crisis was temporarily averted.

But Poppy understood that this was only temporary, because what was even more despicable than the evil invaders were the traitors from within the ninja world!

He had already secretly decided in his heart that he must clean up all these scum before the Fourth Shinobi World War!
