Chapter 969 The Moon

Sasuke thought that the person who summoned such a huge snake must be a strong opponent. At this time, the snake attacked again, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards Sasuke. Sasuke quickly made a seal, and a flame spurted out of his mouth and rushed towards the snake. The snake flexibly twisted its body to avoid the flame attack, but rushed towards Naruto. Naruto finally came to his senses, jumped up quickly, made seals with his hands in the air, and shouted: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" In an instant, more than a dozen clones of Naruto appeared and rushed towards the snake together.

When the snake was confused by the many clones, a black shadow rushed out from the woods next to it. It was a mysterious man covered in a black robe. He quickly formed seals with his hands. The snake seemed to have received an order, stopped attacking, coiled up and stood beside the mysterious man. "You are very interesting, little ghosts." The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, revealing a chill. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other, knowing that the real battle had just begun. The two of them took up their positions at the same time, ready to meet the challenge of this mysterious enemy.

"Humph, you little brats want to fight me?" The mysterious man sneered. Sasuke clenched his fists, his eyes firm: "No matter who you are, we will not back down." Naruto also shouted: "That's right, we are the men who want to become Hokage!" The mysterious man was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then laughed: "Hokage? What a ridiculous dream." After saying that, he waved his robe sleeves violently, and a strong airflow swept towards Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke swiftly dodged sideways, while Naruto was blown back a few steps. At this time, Sakura saw the opportunity and attacked the mysterious man from behind. But the mysterious man seemed to have eyes on his back, easily avoiding Sakura's attack, and backhanded Sakura to fly away. Seeing this, Sasuke angrily opened the single magatama Sharingan, and his speed suddenly increased, rushing towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man was not in a hurry, and he made a seal again, and the big snake suddenly stretched out its long tail and swept towards Sasuke. Sasuke twisted his body forcefully in the air, narrowly avoiding the attack of the snake. Naruto took the opportunity to create more shadow clones, rushing towards the mysterious man from all directions. The mysterious man was temporarily trapped by many clones, and a trace of anger appeared on his face. While the mysterious man was trapped, Sasuke quickly formed a seal and whispered: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball flew towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man was shocked. He broke free from the restraints of some clones, and his hands danced quickly. A water curtain appeared in front of him to block the great fireball. In the water vapor, the snake moved again and pounced on Naruto's real body. Naruto did not retreat but advanced, put his hands together: "Rasengan!" and rushed straight towards the snake. The two collided with each other, generating a huge impact force, and many trees around were broken. Sasuke took advantage of this gap and rushed towards the mysterious man, with a light flashing in his Sharingan. The mysterious man snorted coldly and his figure suddenly disappeared. Sasuke was startled and alert to his surroundings. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind behind him. Sasuke didn't have time to turn around and was hit hard on the back. It turned out that the mysterious man used ninjutsu to teleport behind Sasuke. Sasuke spat out blood and fell forward. Seeing this, Naruto roared, and all his clones merged into one, with great strength, and rushed towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man raised his hand disdainfully and was about to fight back, but suddenly several rays of light shot down from the sky, covering the mysterious man and the snake. A majestic voice sounded: "If you make trouble here, don't blame me for being rude." It turned out that the great elder of Konoha Village took action. The mysterious man's face changed, and he tried to break through the light, but the light was as solid as a copper wall. The snake twisted its huge body restlessly and let out bursts of roars.

The great elder slowly descended from the sky and looked at the mysterious man with a stern gaze. "What is your purpose? Why did you attack the ninjas in the village?"

The mysterious man sneered: "Old man, it's none of your business to me." Having said that, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Sasuke forced himself to stand up, and stood with Naruto behind the Great Elder. Sakura also ran over, and everyone was ready for battle.

The elder formed seals with his hands, and the power of the light became stronger. The mysterious man gradually couldn't hold on, and his black robe began to tear. Suddenly, the mysterious man took out a black bead from his arms and crushed it. Suddenly, a thick smoke rose, and when the smoke dissipated, the mysterious man and the snake disappeared.

The elder frowned and said, "This man has a complicated background. I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future." Sasuke clenched his fists and said, "No matter who he is, I will not let him escape next time I meet him." Naruto also echoed loudly. Afterwards, the three of them returned to Konoha Village under the leadership of the elder, recuperating while practicing, always ready to deal with unknown dangers.

As the days passed, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura gradually recovered from their injuries and practiced harder. One day, news came from the village that some strange phenomena appeared in the nearby forest, which seemed to be a powerful ninjutsu fluctuation. The three decided to go and investigate.

When they reached the depths of the forest, they found a familiar figure - the mysterious man was performing a strange ninjutsu, and the surrounding trees were corroded by the dark aura. "You again!" Sasuke shouted angrily. The mysterious man turned around and sneered, "I let you get away with it last time, but you won't be so lucky today." As he said that, he summoned a group of zombie-like puppets and rushed towards the three people.

Naruto took the lead in launching the attack, using multiple shadow clones to disrupt the opponent's vision, while Sasuke used Chidori to find an opportunity to break through the defense line, and Sakura assisted on the side. During the fierce battle, Naruto accidentally discovered that these puppets were afraid of sunlight, so he used all his skills to create strong light. The puppets dissipated one after another, and the mysterious man was furious. Just as he was about to take action himself, suddenly a black shadow flashed by and the elder appeared again. "You dare to come back and do evil." The elder made seals with both hands and easily subdued the mysterious man. It turned out that the elder had been secretly investigating him, and this time he came to close the net. The crisis was resolved, Konoha Village returned to peace, and Sasuke and others became stronger after this incident.

Not long after the peaceful days, a strange visitor came to the village. This person was wearing strange clothes and had a mysterious look in his eyes. He specifically asked for Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura. After meeting them, he claimed that he came from a distant ninja village and had heard about their deeds and came to exchange ideas.

Everyone gladly accepted the challenge. At the beginning of the battle, the stranger showed a unique ninjutsu that could control the wind to form a sharp blade. Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura worked well together. Naruto used his shadow clone to attract attention, Sasuke used his Sharingan to find flaws, and Sakura found the right time to deliver a heavy blow.

However, the stranger was not panicked. He put his hands together and created a space vortex. Various strange creatures emerged from the vortex. Sasuke and his companions were a little tired, but thinking of their past experiences, they were full of fighting spirit.

When the two sides were deadlocked, the stranger suddenly stopped and said with a smile that it was just a test. It turned out that he was an envoy sent by other ninja villages to investigate whether friendly relations could be established. In the end, Sasuke and his team successfully passed the test, and Konoha Village reached an alliance with the distant ninja village to jointly develop ninjutsu and protect peace.
