Chapter 263 Thunder Dragon Halberd

"Fu is in danger!" Sakura's expression changed slightly when she saw Shennong's ferocious attack.

"What do you mean? Should we go help her?" Galuro frowned, asking with concern.

"Help!" Qiu Xiaoming nodded, and at the same time started drawing prizes in the system.

"Whoosh!" The moment Qiu Xiaoming said he would help, Xiaoying, Jialulu, and Yecang rushed out and the three of them joined forces to block several of Shennong's black tentacles.

"Who?! How dare you stop me from doing something good!" Shennong glared at the group of people who suddenly appeared in front of him and roared.

"It's me!" Sakura took the lead, staring fearlessly at Shennong, while simultaneously striking the tentacles with her iron fist.

"Bang bang bang..." As Sakura's iron fist fell, a series of collision sounds rang out, and those black tentacles were instantly shattered by Sakura.

"Damn it!!! It's you again! It's you again!!!" Shennong immediately revealed a ferocious expression upon seeing Xiaoying, his eyes turning red as he roared.

His plans were thwarted by Sakura time and time again. Although she wasn't the main person involved each time, it was always related to the people around her.

The first time it was Naruto and Sasuke, the second time it was Qiu Xiaoming, and now it appeared in front of him again, which brought Shennong's resentment to the extreme, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.

"Yes, it's me. I can stop you once or twice, I can stop you three or four times, and I can keep stopping you forever!" Sakura was not afraid of the killing intent emanating from Shennong at all, and sneered, "Your plan will never succeed!"

"That's not necessarily true. You're all destined to die today!" Shennong said coldly, as dozens of pitch-black tentacles stretched out from the void, wrapped in dense chakra, and attacked Sakura and the others.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Upon seeing this, Sakura and the others quickly retreated, simultaneously shooting kunai at the tentacles.

"I want you dead! I want you dead!" After his plans were thwarted time and time again, Shennong's anger was completely ignited. As soon as the black tentacles were severed, new black tentacles would extend out, endlessly, as if they could never be cut off.

Shennong's chakra is strange, seemingly inexhaustible.

"This guy's strength has actually increased a lot again!" Sakura's face was gloomy as she looked at Shennong with a look of fear.

"I told you, today I'm going to kill you all!" Shennong's face was contorted with rage, as if he was determined to eliminate everyone, and countless black tentacles attacked Xiaoying and the others.

"Sakura, hang in there a little longer!" Qiu Xiaoming had just drawn a one-time skill and was gathering chakra. Seeing Sakura and the others in trouble, he quickly called out.

Upon hearing Qiu Xiaoming's words, Xiaoying's spirits lifted, and hope appeared in her eyes.

Although Qiu Xiaoming's strength is low, he has many tricks up his sleeve, especially useful in critical moments. Therefore, Xiaoying believes that as long as he perseveres, Qiu Xiaoming will definitely be able to condense a technique strong enough to resist Shennong.

"I forgot about you, brat!" Shennong gave Qiu Xiaoming a cold look, a mocking smile curving his lips.

"Whoosh!" Shennong waved his black tentacles, transforming them into a black snake, and pounced towards Qiu Xiaoming.

"Xiaoming!" Sakura and the others exclaimed in surprise when they saw Shennong's actions. They wanted to help, but it was too late.

"Bang!" The black tentacles stopped about a meter away from Qiu Xiaoming. Fu had somehow appeared in front of Qiu Xiaoming and blocked the attack for him.

Qiu Xiaoming was pale and sweating profusely. Fortunately, Fu intervened in time to save his life. Otherwise, he would probably have been interrupted from gathering chakra by the black tentacles, or even had his body pierced through.

"Pfft!" After blocking the attack for Qiu Xiaoming, Fu spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.

"Damn it, why did I rush over to shield this kid from harm?" Fu clutched her chest, the pain contorting her face in agony.

She rushed out to shield Qiu Xiaoming from the attack without thinking, simply because she saw he was in danger.

"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, then I'll devour you!" Shennong licked his dry lips, his eyes shining. He was already fantasizing about how his strength would leap forward after devouring Fu.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Dozens of black tentacles danced wildly, sweeping over Fu and enveloping her completely.

"Sizzle!" A corrosive sound came from the black tentacles, and a burnt smell filled the air.

"No, Fu can't hold on much longer. We have to finish this quickly, or she'll die!!" Sakura looked at Fu, who was surrounded by Shennong's black tentacles, and said in a serious voice.

"There are too many black tentacles! My chakra is being used up very quickly!" Ye Cang said with a grim expression, feeling her chakra rapidly disappearing.

"Hang in there a little longer!" Qiu Xiaoming said, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, his face pale, while the blue arcs of electricity on his palms grew even brighter.

"Thunder Dragon Halberd!!!" Finally, Qiu Xiaoming conjured a halberd in his hand. The halberd was made of lightning, releasing a dazzling blue light and carrying a heart-palpitating aura.

"What kind of lightning release is this? It has such a terrifying aura!" Ye Cang and the others were drawn to the halberd in Qiu Xiaoming's hand, their pupils shrinking as they exclaimed in shock.

"Crackling..." Dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a series of huge rumbling sounds came from the clouds.

This is a desert, where rain rarely falls, let alone thunderclouds. Yet, at this moment, thunderclouds appeared out of nowhere on the desert horizon, and thick bolts of lightning struck down.

"What's going on!" Shennong looked up at the dense thunderclouds in the sky and his heart trembled. He vaguely felt a strange pressure, a pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.

Shennong's body trembled uncontrollably, and a nameless panic spread through his heart, making him want to run away.

"Go to hell!!!" Qiu Xiaoming hurled the Thunder Dragon Halberd.

"Sizzle!" The Thunder Dragon Halberd transformed into a hundred-zhang-long thunder dragon, carrying a destructive aura, and smashed fiercely towards Shennong.

"Hiss!!!" Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Thunder Dragon Halberd, Shennong gasped, sensing the approaching death.

Shennong's expression shifted constantly. He was unwilling to die like this; he still dreamed of becoming a top-tier ninja in the ninja world!

"Whoosh!" With that thought, Shennong dared not hesitate any longer, and there was no time to absorb the chakra of the Seven-Tails in Fu's body. His figure disappeared from the spot as if by teleportation, dodging the attack of the Thunder Dragon Halberd.

"Boom!!!" With a loud explosion, the yellow sand was kicked up, forming a thick sandstorm that obscured the view.

Chapter 264 Where are my clothes?

The sandstorm gradually subsided, and when everything became clear again, everyone realized that Shennong had long since disappeared.

"Could it be that Shennong has already died from Qiu Xiaoming's move just now?" Ye Cang paused for a moment, then said with some uncertainty.

"Xiao Ming is that powerful?" Jia Liuluo was also incredulous. He hadn't expected Qiu Xiaoming to be so powerful that he could even kill the monster Shennong.

The four of them were completely helpless against Shennong; in fact, they were being overwhelmed by him. Among them was the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Qiu Xiaoming defeated Shennong with just one move?

"Probably not, Shennong just escaped." Sakura gently shook her head and said.

She had already witnessed Qiu Xiaoming's prowess, so she didn't show the same shock as Karyu and Ye Cang.

At the same time, she also knew how powerful Shennong was, and that he couldn't possibly have died so easily. He must have escaped while they were off guard.

"How did you manage to escape such a powerful attack?" Yecang looked at Sakura with some surprise.

She was certain that if she were facing Qiu Xiaoming's move, she would die a terrible death, and wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

“Yes!” Sakura nodded heavily, then said, “Shennong was already difficult to deal with. He survived Sasuke and Naruto’s combined attack. Now that he has made contact with people from another world, his methods are even more formidable.”

"Hiss~" Ye Cang and Karyu gasped. Everyone knew how strong Naruto and Sasuke were, so the fact that Shennong could survive the combined attack of the two of them showed that his strength was unfathomable.

"Xiaoming, are you alright?" Jialulu didn't think twice and walked to Qiu Xiaoming's side, asking with a worried expression and his eyes full of tension.

"Hehe, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm just a little exhausted." Qiu Xiaoming sat on the sand, smiled, waved his hand, and said reassuringly.

He is now weak and powerless, and even standing is difficult for him.

Galiluo gently helped Qiu Xiaoming up and asked with concern, "Let me carry you to the oasis to rest for a while."

"Okay." Qiu Xiaoming did not refuse. In the current situation, he really needed to rest.

When Sakura saw Karyu carrying Qiu Xiaoming to the oasis, she also slowly walked to Fu's side, checked on her condition, and carried her to the oasis as well.

Fu didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she felt very sore and tired, as if her body weighed a ton. She struggled to open her blurry eyes and found that Jialuo, Xiaoying, and Qiu Xiaoming were sitting next to her. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought she was dead, after all, she felt pain all over her body, as if she had been run over by a car.

"Don't move." Sakura noticed that Fu had woken up and saw her struggling to sit up, so she quickly stopped her.

"Thank you for saving me!" Fu looked at the group gratefully and said, "I don't know your names yet."

She knew that if Sakura and the others hadn't suddenly appeared today, she would probably have had the Seven-Tails Chomei extracted again and would have died again.

"It's alright, we have a grudge against that person too." Sakura waved her hand and said, "My name is Sakura, and he is..."

"Sakura?! You're the Sakura who fought Naruto and Sasuke to the very end in the Fourth Shinobi World War?" Before Sakura could finish speaking, Fu stared wide-eyed in astonishment and said incredulously.

“Yes.” Sakura nodded.

"It really is you! I admire you so much!" Fu sat up excitedly, grabbed Sakura's little hand, and said with a face full of excitement, "You are my idol."

Fu didn't notice that her clothes had long been corroded by Shennong's black tentacles, leaving her naked body. As she sat up, the large leaves covering her fell off, revealing her delicate skin.

Qiu Xiaoming, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

He had seen many beautiful bodies—Kushina, Hinata, Sakura—but no matter how many he saw, he would never have enough.

Who would complain about having too much of this stuff?

"Uh..." Sakura awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth. It was the first time someone had praised her so excitedly.

Fu was excitedly looking at Xiaoying when she suddenly realized Qiu Xiaoming's burning gaze. Following his gaze, she looked down and immediately screamed, quickly stretching out her arms to cover her chest.

"Ah! You bastard, you filthy scoundrel, turn your head away right now!" Fu shouted angrily, glaring at Qiu Xiaoming as she blocked her way with her arms.

Sakura and the other girls also noticed Qiu Xiaoming's behavior and immediately glared at him fiercely.

Galiluo's small hand reached into Qiu Xiaoming's waist and twisted it hard, almost making Qiu Xiaoming cry out in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Aunt Jialuo, I was wrong." Qiu Xiaoming grimaced in pain and begged for mercy with a pitiful expression.

"Hmph!" Galyu gave a soft snort and withdrew her small hand.

"Um, where are my clothes?" Fu looked at Xiaoying, her pretty face slightly red, and asked shyly. She always felt a chill on her body.

"Uh... they were all corroded away by those black tentacles." Sakura spread her hands innocently and explained, "When we found you, your clothes had already been completely corroded away."

"Then, what should I do?" Fu's pretty face turned even redder after hearing this. She lowered her head and said weakly, her voice so soft it was like the buzzing of a mosquito.

"We don't have any extra clothes either," Sakura said, shrugging her shoulders as if she couldn't help.

"Um, why don't you wear my clothes?" Qiu Xiaoming said, taking off his own clothes and handing them to Fu.

"I don't want to wear your clothes!" Fu looked at Qiu Xiaoming with disgust and refused directly, her expression full of resistance.

Although Qiu Xiaoming has a great physique and is handsome, he is a man, and he was just staring at her with a lecherous look. How could she dare to wear his clothes?

"I don't care." Qiu Xiaoming shrugged and said indifferently, "Anyway, I'm not the one who suffers, and I'm not the one who gets seen naked."

His gaze swept over Fu's delicate body, his face filled with a lewd expression.

Looking at his lewd expression, Fu wished she could kick him away and make him disappear from her sight.

At the same time, she also regretted that she had blocked the attack of the black tentacles for him.

Fu bit her red lips, looked at the clothes in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then picked them up.

Although she didn't want to wear Qiu Xiaoming's clothes, she seemed to have no other choice but to wear them now, otherwise Qiu Xiaoming would see her naked anyway.

Chapter 265 Oh my god!

"Fu, what are you doing in our Sunagakure village?" Yekura asked, looking at Fu with suspicion. "Also, why is that Shennong chasing you?"

Fu straightened her clothes and then said, "That person came to my door out of nowhere and demanded that I hand over the Seven-Tails. I ran all the way here."

"At first, there was another mysterious person chasing me with him, but later he left for some reason. That's when I decided to fight Shennong to the death." Fu briefly recounted what had happened.

"I see." Sakura nodded, then after a moment of contemplation, said, "Then why did Shennong suddenly want the Tailed Beasts?"

"I'm wondering if the people from that world want to capture the Tailed Beasts. Didn't they also try to capture Gaara?" Qiu Xiaoming analyzed.

"Hmm." Sakura nodded gently, then frowned and said, "In that case, wouldn't Naruto be a threat?"

"Let's send this message to Naruto first, and tell him to be on guard. Also, have him inform the other tailed beasts and jinchūriki," Qiu Xiaoming suggested after thinking for a moment.

“Okay.” Sakura nodded in agreement.

"Are you very familiar with those people?" Fu asked with some surprise.

“We’re looking for their whereabouts.” Sakura nodded gently, then looked at Fu and said, “It’s very dangerous for you to go alone. Why don’t you come with us from now on?”

“Okay!” Fu agreed without hesitation.

After the battle with Shennong, Fu knew very well that it would be difficult for her to fight Shennong head-on alone, especially since the other party had helpers. If she continued to be alone, she would be captured sooner or later.

Being with Sakura and the others, having someone to chat with and someone to fight alongside, isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"By the way, did you see anything strange on your way into the desert?" Sakura continued to ask.

Fu must have come from another place. If she sees anything strange, it might be the passage they're looking for, which would save them a lot of time searching.

"A strange place?" Fu tilted her head, thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She pointed to a spot not far away and said, "I came from over there, and the chakra fluctuations over there were a bit unusual."

"Anomaly?" Gariu's eyes lit up. "Could it be the passage we're looking for?"

"Perhaps." Qiu Xiaoming nodded slightly, then said, "It's getting dark now, let's go check again tomorrow."

"Okay." No one objected. After all, the desert was very dangerous at night, and they had just gone through a big battle and needed to rest and recuperate.

Fu had no objections. She had also suffered some injuries and needed to properly recover her chakra so that she would have the strength to fight back should she encounter an enemy.
