Chapter 979 Long

It's not that Mitomon En's power suddenly increased a lot, but his own condition declined due to continuous fighting. Sasuke knew this in his heart, but he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. His eyes quickly switched to the Mangekyō Sharingan, trying to see through Mitomon En's every move.

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a black shadow quietly approached the battlefield. It turned out that Naruto had arrived. Seeing the fierce battle in front of him, Naruto joined the battle without hesitation. He quickly formed a seal, and a powerful wind ninjutsu swept towards Mitomon En. Mitomon En had to be distracted to deal with it, which gave Sasuke a chance to catch his breath.

Sasuke took the opportunity to adjust his breathing, and tightened his grip on the Kusanagi sword again. After exchanging glances with Naruto, the two launched attacks at the same time. Mitomon En faced the joint attack of the two, and the pressure doubled. He knew that he could not resist for too long, but he still fought desperately. However, Naruto and Sasuke cooperated well and gradually gained the upper hand. In the end, Mitomon En was defeated, was knocked out, and fell heavily to the ground. The battle ended with the victory of Sasuke and Naruto.

Sasuke and Naruto walked towards the fallen Mizutomon En. Mizutomon En struggled to stand up, his eyes full of unwillingness, "Do you think you can win like this?" As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to emit a strange light, and the space around him seemed to be distorted.

Naruto and Sasuke became alert, they felt a dangerous aura spreading. It turned out that Mitomon En was planning to self-destruct, wanting to use his last strength to drag them to be buried together. Sasuke instantly activated Susanoo and wrapped himself and Naruto in it.

But the impact of the explosion was beyond imagination, and cracks appeared on Susanoo. At the critical moment, the Nine-Tails Chakra surged out and strengthened the defense. When the smoke and dust cleared, Mitomon Yan had disappeared, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Sasuke and Naruto smiled bitterly at each other. Although they won this battle, they also consumed a lot of energy. At this time, the sky was turning pale, and a new day was about to come. They knew that there were still many challenges waiting for them in Konoha Village, but as long as the two fought side by side, they would be fearless. Then, they turned together and walked slowly towards the direction of Konoha Village. As they walked, Naruto suddenly stopped. Sasuke looked at him in confusion, only to see that Naruto had a serious face. "Sasuke, I feel something is wrong. In the battle just now, it seemed that a pair of eyes had been spying on us in the dark." Sasuke's heart trembled, and his Sharingan also had this feeling faintly.

They looked around. The surroundings seemed peaceful, but the feeling of being watched became stronger. Suddenly, a group of mysterious people emerged from the woods. They were all dressed in black robes and their faces could not be seen clearly. The leader sneered and said, "Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, you can't go back to Konoha Village today."

Sasuke and Naruto immediately entered combat mode. Naruto rushed forward first, but found that the strength of these people should not be underestimated. Their attacks could penetrate ordinary defensive ninjutsu. Sasuke calmly observed the opponent's moves, looking for flaws.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, a melodious flute sound came from afar. After hearing the flute sound, the black-robed men retreated one after another. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other, wondering what kind of conspiracy this was. But they knew that the threat facing Konoha Village was far more than that. So they quickened their pace and rushed to the village, ready to face more unknown challenges. After Sasuke and Naruto rushed back to Konoha Village, they immediately informed the Hokage and others of what they had encountered. The village began to strengthen its vigilance, and the ninjas patrolled everywhere to check for suspicious places.

A few days later, one night, Sasuke was practicing alone on the rooftop when he heard the familiar melodious flute sound again. He followed the sound and came to an abandoned old house outside the village. The house was filled with a strange atmosphere, and the walls were covered with strange runes.

As Sasuke was exploring cautiously, a figure flashed out, and it turned out to be the missing Mitomon Yan. "You didn't expect it, Sasuke. This was all my plan, and those black-robed men were just bait to lure you out." Mitomon Yan sneered.

Sasuke opened his Sharingan and was ready for battle. At this time, Naruto also came after Sasuke. The two stood back to back and faced Mitomon En together. "No matter what your plot is, we will not let you succeed." Naruto shouted. Mitomon En formed seals with both hands, and powerful chakra surged. A new battle began, but this time, they must protect Konoha Village. Mitomon En's chakra gathered into several chains and shot towards Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke swung the Kusanagi sword to cut the chains, and Naruto spit out the Rasengan to hit Mitomon En. Mitomon En flashed, avoided the attack and appeared on the roof.

"Do you think you can stop me? I have developed a forbidden technique that can control everyone in the entire Konoha Village and make them my puppets." Mizuto Menen laughed arrogantly.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and decided to take the initiative. They performed a joint ninjutsu and rushed towards Mitomon. Mitomon also fought back with all his strength, and for a moment the house was filled with energy.

As the two sides fought fiercely, the wooden sculpture of the first Hokage suddenly flickered with light, and a gentle force shot out from it, covering Mizutomon En. It turned out that the ancient seal of Konoha Village was triggered, sealing part of Mizutomon En's power. Taking this opportunity, Sasuke and Naruto joined forces to attack Mizutomon En. Mizutomon En was severely injured and collapsed to the ground.

"You... have won temporarily, but the crisis of Konoha Village will not stop here." After saying this, Mitomon En fainted. Sasuke and Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the dawn. They knew that the peace of Konoha Village still needed to be protected with constant efforts. Sasuke and Naruto took the unconscious Mitomon En back to Konoha Village. The villagers were relieved to see them return safely. However, everyone knew that the potential crisis had not been resolved.

After a few days, undercurrents flowed in the peaceful days. During training, Sasuke found that his Sharingan occasionally flickered uncontrollably, and he felt that this was related to the previous battle with Mitomon En. At the same time, Naruto also noticed that there was something wrong with the Nine-Tails Chakra in his body.

That night, an alarm suddenly sounded in the village. Everyone rushed to the entrance of the village and found countless mechanical puppets swarming in. The operator was a mysterious ninja, who stood on a high platform in the distance, exuding a familiar chakra aura. Sasuke was surprised to find that this chakra was somewhat similar to Mitomon En.

Naruto rushed towards the puppets without saying anything. Sasuke followed closely behind, and they fought while looking for a way to break through. Sasuke tried to control the puppets with the Sharingan, but was disturbed by it. At the critical moment, Naruto thought of using the Nine-Tails Chakra to disrupt the puppet signals. Sasuke understood, and the two worked together to finally break all the puppets. Seeing this, the mysterious ninja quietly left. Sasuke and Naruto looked at the receding back, knowing that the road to defending Konoha Village was still long.
