ALL NOVEL Chapter 79: 79. A New Threat Emerges 2
Kiba, Choji, and Lee – The Southern Border
Kiba growled as he and Akamaru raced through the dense forest along the southern border of the village, his senses heightened by the unmistakable stench of the rogue shinobi closing in. Choji, in his giant form, barreled through the trees beside him, while Lee kept pace with his lightning-fast movements, his body already burning with the energy of the Eight Gates.
"They're coming at us fast!" Kiba shouted, his voice filled with adrenaline. "We've gotta hit them before they get a chance to regroup!"
Lee nodded, his eyes glowing with determination as he activated Null Energy, his body shimmering with an aura of nothingness. "Let's take them out before they can even touch us! The power of youth will protect the village!"
Choji roared, his enlarged fists smashing into the ground as he sent shockwaves through the earth, causing the first wave of rogue shinobi to stumble and fall. Without missing a beat, Kiba leapt onto the nearest enemy, his claws glowing with energy as he tore through their defenses, Akamaru biting and slashing beside him.
"Fang Over Fang!" Kiba shouted as he spun through the air, his body a blur of motion as he collided with the enemy forces, sending them flying in every direction.
Lee was a blur of green and gold, his movements almost too fast to see as he struck down enemy after enemy. With every punch and kick, the power of Null Energy tore through the rogue shinobi, erasing them from existence with each hit.
Choji, ever the powerhouse, swung his massive arms, his fists colliding with the enemies like wrecking balls. "We can't let them get through to the village!" he shouted, his voice booming as he continued to hold the line.
But despite their overwhelming power, more enemies kept coming. The rogue shinobi seemed endless, their dark energy fueling their relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, Kiba, Choji, and Lee found themselves slowly being pushed back.
"There's no end to them!" Kiba snarled, his eyes wild with frustration as he slashed through another wave of enemies.
Lee's face tightened with focus as he activated the Seventh Gate, his body surrounded by a fiery green aura. "Then we'll keep fighting until there's nothing left to fight!" He launched himself into the air, spinning in a rapid kick that sent shockwaves through the battlefield, obliterating the enemies in his path.
Choji, still in his giant form, panted heavily as he threw another punch. "We just need to hold them off a little longer! The others will handle the rest!"
The battle raged on, their bodies pushed to the limit as they fought to protect the village. Even as exhaustion began to creep in, their resolve never wavered. They knew what was at stake.
Naruto's Team – Defending the Heart of the Village
Back at the heart of the village, Naruto stood alongside Sasuke and Sakura, their eyes locked on the enemy forces approaching from all sides. The village defenses were holding for now, but the enemy was getting closer with each passing minute. It wouldn't be long before they breached the inner perimeter.
"This is it, guys," Naruto said, his voice low but filled with determination. "We can't let them get any further. We stop them here."
Sasuke's Sharingan gleamed with anticipation as he readied his sword, his body already crackling with Graviton Energy. "Let's end this quickly."
Sakura nodded, her fists glowing with the power of Chrono Essence. "We can't afford to drag this out. Let's hit them hard and fast."
As the rogue shinobi charged forward, Naruto formed a Rasengan in each hand, the energy swirling wildly as he infused it with Eclipse Energy. "Take this!" he shouted as he launched the twin Rasengans into the enemy ranks. The impact was immediate, the energy tearing through the rogue shinobi and sending them flying in every direction.
Sasuke moved like a shadow, his Chidori crackling with Graviton Energy as he dashed through the battlefield, striking down enemy after enemy with pinpoint precision. With each strike, the gravitational force around him intensified, pulling his enemies toward him and crushing them under the weight of his power.
Sakura, always the powerhouse, charged into the fray, her fists glowing with the power of time itself. With each punch, she sent shockwaves through the battlefield, the energy warping the flow of time around her enemies, slowing them just enough for her to land devastating blows.
"We've got this!" Naruto shouted, his voice filled with confidence as he launched another Rasengan at the approaching enemies.
But even as they fought with all their strength, the rogue shinobi continued to advance. Their numbers seemed endless, and the dark energy that surrounded them was growing stronger with every passing second.
"There's no end to them!" Sakura panted, her fists clenched as she prepared for another attack.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Naruto. "We need to find the source of their power. We can't keep fighting like this."
Naruto grinned, his eyes flashing with determination. "Then let's go find it. We'll tear it apart piece by piece!"
