Chapter 168: Ancient Heritage Melody
His appearance was identical to Naruto's, but he exuded the aura of the Nine-Tailed transformation, his eyes filled with fanaticism and craving.
"Power... I need more power!" the clone roared excitedly, his voice like thunder, shaking the surrounding air.
Naruto tried to resist, but in the face of this overwhelming power, his resistance seemed so futile.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his body was devoured by this power, then fell heavily to the ground.
"Naruto!" Sakura and Sasuke shouted simultaneously, wanting to rush forward to help, but they were stopped by Byakuya.
"Wait." Byakuya said with a solemn expression, "Rushing in now will only be futile; we must find a way to stabilize Naruto's condition first."
However, before Byakuya could finish speaking, the Nine-Tailed transformed Naruto suddenly vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already beside Dirk, lifting him with one hand.
"Let him go!" Seeing this, Sasuke immediately performed Hand Seals and activated Lightning Release, wanting to save Dirk.
However, his attack was casually blocked by the Nine-Tailed transformed Naruto.
"You... are too weak," the Nine-Tailed transformed Naruto said indifferently, his tone filled with disdain.
With that, he carried Dirk and vanished from the spot.
"Mr. Dirk!" Sakura cried out in alarm, wanting to chase after them, but she was stopped by Byakuya.
"Don't be impulsive," Byakuya said gravely. "We must remain calm now and find a way to locate their hiding place."
After a search, Byakuya and the others finally found Dirk and Naruto in a dark altar.
Naruto had already returned to his normal state, but his body appeared very weak, and he was confined in the altar with Dirk.
"Teacher Byakuya, you've finally arrived," Naruto said weakly. "Be careful, the Nine-Tailed's power... it's being controlled."
Byakuya's expression grew even more solemn upon hearing this.
Just then, several figures emerged from the shadows of the altar: Kabuto and his subordinates.
"Byakuya, you've finally arrived," Kabuto said indifferently. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Kabuto, what exactly do you want?" Byakuya asked gravely.
"It's simple." Kabuto sneered. "I want to obtain this Village's ancient heritage, the 'Melody,' and the'Sound' that serves as its key. When all the'Sound' is gathered, the powerful 'Power' inherited from 'Hall' will appear."
"What?!" Byakuya and the others were greatly shocked upon hearing this.
They hadn't expected Kabuto's goal to be such a legendary power.
"It seems you already know my purpose," Kabuto said indifferently. "Then I don't need to say more; hand over the'Sound'."
Byakuya and the others immediately assumed fighting stances.
However, at this moment, the runes on the altar suddenly lit up, and then a powerful energy fluctuation erupted from the altar.
"This is..." Byakuya and the others' expressions changed drastically; they felt the horror of this power.
Under everyone's gaze, a gigantic "Spear of Heaven" slowly rose from the altar, releasing world-destroying power.
The appearance of the "Spear of Heaven" shocked and terrified everyone.
The Nine-Tailed transformed Naruto felt this power and became even more violent.
"Power... I need more power!" the Nine-Tailed transformed Naruto roared frantically, trying to break free from the altar's restraints.
However, at this moment, a mysterious force released by the "Spear of Heaven" suddenly enveloped the Nine-Tailed transformed Naruto and Dirk.
Under the influence of this power, the Nine-Tailed's appearance became even more ferocious, and a stronger killing intent emanated from it.
At the same time, the earth also began to crack, and the entire Village fell into chaos.
"What's going on?" Kabuto's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected the "Spear of Heaven" to cause such an anomaly.
"It seems we underestimated the horror of this power," Byakuya said gravely. "We must find a way to stop it now, or the entire world will be destroyed."
However, at this moment, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "You have finally arrived, Warriors of Hall."
Byakuya and the others looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a mysterious figure slowly emerging from the depths of the altar.
This figure exuded a strong aura, as if it had some mysterious connection with the "Spear of Heaven."
"You... who are you?" Kabuto asked in horror; he felt the power of this figure.
"I am the Guardian of Hall," the mysterious figure said indifferently. "You have awakened the'Spear of Heaven,' which means you have awakened my existence."
"Guardian of Hall?" Byakuya and the others looked at each other, never having heard of such an existence.
However, at this moment, Naruto suddenly said: "I know him... he's the voice in my dream... he told me I have to stop this war!"
Naruto's words shocked everyone.
"Stop the war?" Sasuke looked at Naruto in confusion. "What kind of war are you talking about, specifically...?"
"It's the war that Madara started!" Naruto said with a firm expression. "I'm going to stop him, no matter the cost!"
With that, Naruto said no more, turned, and rushed out of the altar.
Byakuya and the others followed suit immediately.
After a difficult battle, Naruto finally succeeded in convincing the Raikage to allow him to rush to the battlefield.
Along the way, he learned about Madara's immortality and heard about Madara's various evil deeds conveyed to him by Shikaku.
"Madara is a terrifying enemy who uses hatred to achieve his goals," Shikaku said with a grave expression. "You must be careful."
However, hearing this information only strengthened Naruto's resolve.
"I will stop this war!" Naruto clenched his fists tightly. "No matter the cost!"
Just then, the Fourth Division led by Gaara arrived in time.
They brought the past Kage from various Villages, and for a time, the battlefield was filled with powerful individuals, and battle was imminent.
"Naruto, we've finally arrived!" Gaara looked at Naruto, his eyes full of determination. "Now, let's fight side by side!"
Naruto nodded, looking at the past Kage, a surge of heroism rising in his heart.
He knew this battle would be extremely difficult, but he would never back down.
Just then, the Fourth Kazekage stepped out from among the Kage, his gaze fixed on Gaara.
"Gaara, you've become the Kazekage, and you're even the Commander of the Shinobi Alliance..." The Fourth Kazekage's tone carried a hint of astonishment and doubt. "I really want to know if you have the ability to bear such a heavy responsibility."
Before his words finished, the Fourth Kazekage's figure flashed, and he directly attacked Gaara.
"Father..." Gaara's expression changed slightly, but he quickly stabilized himself and set up a defense.
He knew that this battle was not only a test for himself but also for the entire Shinobi Alliance.
He had to prove his strength to earn the recognition and trust of the other Kage.
