Chapter 1257 Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Pearl

Three twists and turns, fraught with danger.

The crowd cheered, exhausted yet overjoyed. The mysterious old man stepped forward, looking at everyone with satisfaction: "You all did a great job, especially the team member who came up with the solution." The team members hugged and high-fived each other, celebrating their hard-won victory.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, suddenly, a cloud of black smoke rose from where the Great Demon had fallen. From the smoke, an even larger and more terrifying figure slowly emerged. It was the Great Demon's true form; the one that had fallen was merely its clone. The newly appeared true form exuded an aura far more powerful and malevolent than before. The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly, their hearts leaping into their throats. The mysterious old man, his expression grave, said, "Don't panic, everyone. Regroup! This is the real challenge!" The team members quickly composed themselves, gripped their weapons tightly, and stared intently at the more powerful enemy before them. A new and fierce battle was about to begin. The Great Demon's true form let out a deafening roar, the sound waves crashing towards them like sharp blades. The team members dodged to the side, but several were still struck and fell to the ground. The mysterious old man waved his hands, and a golden barrier appeared, temporarily blocking the demon's attack.

A team member, quick-witted as ever, shouted, "Let's distract it and then find its weakness!" Hearing this, the team quickly scattered, launching attacks on the great demon from different directions. Amidst the flashing blades, the team members clashed fiercely with the demon, but the great demon's thick hide rendered their attacks largely ineffective.

Just as everyone was starting to feel overwhelmed, the mysterious old man suddenly pulled out a bead shimmering with seven-colored light from his robes. He tossed the bead into the air, and it instantly transformed into a massive beam of light, engulfing the great demon. The demon howled in agony, its body trembling. Seeing this, the team seized the opportunity to attack with all their might. With everyone's combined strength, the great demon finally collapsed slowly, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing. Everyone cheered again; this time, it was a true victory. However, just when everyone thought the battle was completely over, the wisp of black smoke suddenly coalesced, forming a phantom demonic figure. It let out a sharp, eerie laugh: "You thought you could destroy me like this? How naive!" It turned out that this demon was immortal; its previous collapse was merely another disguise. Everyone's faces turned deathly pale; the flame of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished once more. The mysterious old man frowned deeply; he knew this was an unprecedentedly difficult battle. At this moment, the team member who had come up with a plan had another flash of inspiration. He shouted, "Let's use the seven-colored light bead we just used and our attack simultaneously; maybe we can break its immortality!" Everyone quickly adjusted their stance. The mysterious old man took out the bead again, and the team members prepared to attack. When the bead transformed into a beam of light enveloping the demon, everyone attacked with all their might. The demon's figure began to shake violently, the light gradually dimmed, and finally, with a "boom," it completely dissipated into the air. This time, everyone was certain that the battle was truly over, and they cheered again, their cheers seemingly able to reach every corner of the world.

However, each use of this Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Bead requires an enormous amount of chakra, and with Kakashi's chakra reserves, one use is basically his limit.
