His arrival was like injecting new oxygen into a nearly extinguished fire.
Upon seeing his comrade, Naruto's spirits lifted, and he forced himself to stand up despite the pain.
However, the enemy they faced was still incredibly powerful.
Meanwhile, deep within Naruto's consciousness.
This world, presented as a traditional Japanese-style room, is currently shaking violently!
The nine-tailed fox's massive body thrashed about restlessly, splashing up towering waves, its roars deafening:
"Damn it! That wretched snake! What insidious method did it use?!"
"Why can't I sense anything about Naruto anymore?!"
"Even the most basic chakra transmission has become intermittent, as if it's been blocked by something!"
Its sharp claws slammed into the wall beside it, the force so great that the entire space hummed.
The walls formed by water ripples develop tiny cracks, yet they slowly heal under certain rules.
Minato's ethereal soul hovered to the side, his expression more solemn than ever before.
He reached out, sensing the invisible yet resilient barrier around him, and said in a deep voice, "It can only be confirmed that it is an extremely special energy interference barrier with a very complex and ingenious structure."
"It utilizes the massive and unique energy fluctuations of the dragon vein itself as its foundation, cleverly distorting spacetime to form a targeted 'information black field'."
"Our spiritual connection and chakra channels with Naruto have been greatly suppressed or even severed."
His analysis was calm yet tinged with a sense of powerlessness; this macroscopic approach utilizing natural energy had already transcended the scope of conventional sealing techniques and barriers.
Kushina's phantom was even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
His long, red hair seemed to be on fire: "What do we do?! We can't see what's happening outside at all!"
"He must have encountered an extremely dangerous enemy! Maybe...maybe he's already..."
She dared not continue, her eyes reddening, her intense maternal worry almost driving her to madness.
Madara Uchiha, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed as if indifferent to everything, slowly raised his head at this moment.
Within his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, intricate patterns were slowly rotating at an unprecedented speed.
It seems to be trying its best to understand the secrets of that barrier outside.
Ban's voice still carried a condescending indifference, yet strangely it possessed a calming power: "Ranting now is useless."
His gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of consciousness, locking onto the constantly fluctuating dragon vein energy barrier in the outside world.
After a long silence, his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly: "Scattered fox, get ready and listen to my commands."
The Nine-Tails abruptly stopped its violent movements, its enormous beastly eyes looking at Madara: "Hmm? Old Madara, what did you discover?"
A barely perceptible smile curved at the corner of Ban's lips: "This barrier is not without its flaws."
"Although the energy of the dragon vein is enormous, its fluctuations have their own inherent laws and cycles."
“I can see… the subtle ‘ripples’ and ‘troughs’ that it creates as its energy flows.”
"At its weakest moment, the barrier will weaken for an extremely brief period of time!"
Minato and Kushina's gazes instantly focused on Madara.
"You mean..." Kurama seemed to understand something.
"Follow my orders,"
Ban's tone left no room for argument: "When I shout it, don't hold back."
"Unleash all your chakra, along with our will, and charge headlong into the direction of Naruto we've sensed!"
"Like a flood hitting the weakest point of a fragile dam!"
Kurama hesitated, "Will this... work? What if it fails and causes a backlash against Naruto..."
Ban snorted coldly: "I don't know. But this is the only thing we can do proactively right now."
"Are you going to stay here and wait for that scoundrel's experiment to succeed completely, or wait for Naruto to be beaten to death?"
"Take a gamble, or sit and wait to die, which would you choose?"
Nine-Tailed Fox was silent for a moment, then a fierce light and endless determination flashed in its huge beast eyes.
It raised its head and let out a deafening roar. A massive amount of chakra began to condense wildly within its body, emitting a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble!
"Fine! You're right! I've had enough of this crap! I'll trust you this once, you Uchiha bastard! I'll give it a shot!"
The atmosphere in the entire consciousness space instantly became extremely tense and oppressive.
All hope rested on Madara Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which could see through the flow of energy, and on that fleeting opportunity!
Outside, amidst the ruins, Sasuke's arrival temporarily relieved Naruto's pressure, but the battle remained brutal.
Mechanical Naruto burst out of the ruins. Although his chest was charred and dented, he was clearly not fatally injured, and the red light in his eyes was even more ferocious.
It roared silently once more, carrying the terrifying power of the pseudo-Six-Tails, and engaged in fierce battle with Naruto and Sasuke!
Lightning, golden light, and crimson dragon vein energy collided wildly!
The battle has entered an even more intense phase!
Chapter 324 Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Stage!
Another Sage Art: Rasengan slammed into Mechanical Naruto's chest, blasting him backward once more.
The metal shell on the chest showed obvious cracks and charred marks.
But the energy of the dragon vein surged up rapidly, like a living thing, and the cracks began to repair themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Naruto used the momentum to do a backflip and landed lightly not far from Sasuke, kneeling on the ground, slightly out of breath.
In Sage Mode, the horizontal pupils swept across the battlefield, quickly making a judgment.
He lowered his voice and spoke very quickly:
"Sasuke! You deal with Orochimaru! I'll handle that steel version of me!"
Continuing to engage in this two-on-one battle with this seemingly indestructible iron behemoth will only lead to their eventual demise!
Someone has to cut off the source!
Upon hearing this, Sasuke glanced at the roaring mechanical monster charging forward again with his crimson Sharingan, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
This guy's strength, defense, and recovery are all insane.
Moreover, it is completely irrational, fearless of pain and death, and illusions have no effect on it; it is simply the most perfect killing machine.
Even if he and Naruto teamed up, they could only barely hold their own and were unable to inflict any decisive damage.
What's even more challenging is that Loulan is located in the heart of the desert, where the sky is cloudless.
His strongest lightning technique—Kirin—was completely unusable.
Without a decisive, killer move, dealing with this kind of monster is even more difficult.
"Be careful!"
Sasuke didn't waste any words and immediately agreed to Naruto's strategy.
With a flash of lightning from the Kusanagi Sword, his figure instantly transformed into a streak of blue lightning, bypassing the berserk mechanical Naruto.
He charged straight at Orochimaru, who had been watching the show from behind!
"Heh, so you finally can't resist facing me directly, Sasuke-kun?"
Orochimaru watched Sasuke rushing towards him with a playful smile, calmly forming hand seals: "Ninja Art: Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
In an instant, countless ferocious venomous snakes surged out of his wide sleeves like a tidal wave.
Hissing, baring its fangs, it pounced on Sasuke in a massive, overwhelming attack!
However, the raging Chidori Stream lightning surrounding Sasuke formed an absolute defensive lightning field!
Any venomous snake that gets within half a meter of his body will be instantly electrocuted by high-voltage lightning and turned into charred ash, which will fall to the ground in a flurry!
It's impossible to get close!
Sasuke's speed remained undiminished; like Thor descending to earth, he broke through the swarm of snakes with unstoppable force.
The Kusanagi sword in his hand, accompanied by a piercing thunderous sound and a chilling killing intent, was aimed straight at Orochimaru's throat!
A crisp, piercing sound of metal clashing rang out!
Orochimaru, without anyone noticing, also spat out a gleaming longsword—the Kusanagi Sword!
The two legendary blades clashed violently, sparks flying everywhere!
Orochimaru gripped the sword, feeling the familiar power and craftsmanship emanating from its blade.
A genuine hint of doubt and curiosity flashed in his golden snake eyes: "Hehe, Sasuke-kun, the Kusanagi sword in your hand, judging from its craftsmanship and the power it contains, is undoubtedly made by me."
"However, I don't recall giving you any Kusanagi swords, and my inventory and records show no reports of missing weapons..."
"So, where did you get this sword from?"
His question hit the nail on the head, pointing directly to the core contradiction of time and space distortion.
Sasuke's eyes were icy cold. He used his wrist to deflect Orochimaru's sword and then delivered a sharp diagonal slash: "I have no obligation to report to you!"
"How unlovable." Orochimaru chuckled and parried with his sword.
The two of them started fighting in an instant!
Swords flashed and shadows danced, swift as lightning!
The sound of metal clashing rang out like a sudden storm!
Sasuke's swordsmanship, honed over many years and passed down through the Uchiha clan, had reached a high level of proficiency, becoming swift, sharp, and full of killing intent.
Each sword strike is aimed directly at a vital point, and the Lightning Release chakra further endows the Kusanagi Sword with indestructible sharpness and a paralyzing effect.
However, Orochimaru's swordsmanship was even more sophisticated, unpredictable, and elusive.
His body seemed boneless, able to twist, dodge, and counterattack at all sorts of incredible angles.
His swordplay is cunning and ruthless, often attacking from unexpected directions, and is interspersed with various insidious tricks and sudden flicks of his tongue.
