Chapter 1274 Returning Home

Everyone looked up in astonishment and saw a huge phantom in the sky—a deity dressed in magnificent robes with a ferocious face. This sudden turn of events instantly put everyone on edge; having just experienced a fierce battle, they were all completely exhausted.

Kai struggled to his feet, his eyes fixed firmly on the sky. "No matter who you are, if you want to harm the ninja world, you'll have to step over our dead bodies first!"

At this moment, Naruto stepped forward, forming hand seals, preparing to unleash the Rasengan. The other ninjas also gathered together, ready to fight again.

The deity sneered and waved its hand, unleashing powerful beams of energy towards the group. Everyone scrambled to avoid them, creating a cloud of dust. Just as they were struggling to cope, Sasuke suddenly noticed a faint glow flickering in one spot on the deity's phantom, seemingly its weak point.

He immediately informed Naruto, and the two exchanged a knowing glance. They quickly coordinated, one drawing the god's attention while the other seized the opportunity to attack the weakness with all his might. With a roar, they successfully struck the god's weak point, the god's phantom gradually dissipated, and the ninja world returned to peace. Just as everyone thought the crisis was over and breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently, and a huge black hole slowly appeared in the center of the battlefield. An evil and powerful aura surged from the black hole, even more terrifying than the previous god's phantom. Immediately afterward, a strangely shaped monster, radiating an eerie light, crawled out of the black hole. This monster had six thick tentacles, each covered with sharp barbs, and its head resembled a giant eyeball, emitting a chilling light. The ninjas tensed up again; having just exhausted themselves, they were filled with worry facing this new threat. Naruto took a deep breath, gathering his chakra once more, and Sasuke activated his Sharingan, staring intently at the monster. Despite his exhaustion, Kai remained in a fighting stance. Suddenly, the monster opened its gaping maw, unleashing beams of black energy towards the group. The ninjas scrambled to avoid it, and a new battle began. What power and purpose did this unknown monster possess that plunged the ninja world into such a crisis? Naruto seized the opportunity, shouting as he hurled a massive Rasengan he had gathered at the monster. The Rasengan, imbued with powerful chakra, hurtled towards the monster like a meteor. However, the monster nimbly twisted its body, easily deflecting the attack with its tentacles. The black energy collided with the Rasengan, creating a deafening roar.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sasuke unleashed his Chidori Spear, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he charged towards the monster. Just as he was about to pierce it, the monster's tentacles suddenly extended, tightly binding Sasuke. Sasuke struggled fiercely, but could not break free.

Seeing this, Guy activated the seventh gate of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Shock, instantly boosting his speed and power to their peak. He charged towards the monster and kicked it. The monster, in pain, released Sasuke. But Guy's body had also reached its limit, and he swayed precariously.

Just as everyone was in dire straits, the monster suddenly stopped attacking, and a deep voice came from the black hole: "I have only come to deliver a warning. If the ninja world continues to act recklessly, it will face annihilation." After speaking, the monster slowly retreated into the black hole, and the black hole disappeared as well, leaving only bewildered ninjas behind.
