The Hero Who Travelled To New World. Naruto x ORV

chapter 17

As the battle raged on, the group fought tirelessly against the remaining ghosts, their efforts slowly but surely thinning the enemy's numbers. With each defeated foe, purple and whitish-purple cores rained down, signaling their progress in the fight.

Dokja: Keep it up, you guys! We're almost there!

Seolhwa: Don't let up now! We can do this!

Naruto: *nods* Right!

Their determination fueled their resolve as they pressed on, the lone ghost looming ominously in the distance. Standing at a towering 15 feet tall, it exuded an aura of strength and power, posing a formidable challenge for the group.

Dokja: That one looks tough.

Seolhwa: We can handle it. Let's take it down together.

Naruto: Yeah, we've faced worse.

With a collective nod, the remaining members regrouped, gathering at a single spot to face their final opponent. Naruto's clones remained by his side, their numbers serving as a valuable asset in the battle.

Dokja: Naruto, why haven't you dispersed your clones yet?

Naruto hesitated for a moment, weighing his options. He knew that dispersing his clones would alleviate the strain on his mind, but he also recognized the importance of their assistance in defeating the last ghost.

Naruto: I... I'm waiting for the right moment.

Yoo Sangha: Are you sure you can handle it?

Naruto: *hesitated* Y-yes.....

Seolhwa: But Naruto, you need to be careful. You can't push yourself too hard.

Naruto nodded, silently grateful for their concern as he focused on maintaining his clones for just a little while longer.

Though he concealed the truth about the strain on his mind, Naruto remained steadfast in his decision, determined to see the battle through to the end.

As Naruto signaled his clones to attack, the group braced themselves for the final showdown. However, their efforts proved futile as the ghost deftly dodged Naruto's rasengan and launched counterattacks against the clones.

Naruto: *gritting his teeth* It's not working...

The strain of the clones' memories began to take its toll on Naruto, a slight hiss escaping his lips as he fought to maintain his focus.

Seolhwa: Naruto, are you okay?

Naruto: *forcing a smile* Yeah, just a little overwhelmed.

Feeling the weight of his burden, Naruto made a difficult decision. With a heavy heart, he ordered his clones to retreat, much to the concern of his companions.

Dokja: What's the plan now?

Naruto: We need to find another way to take down this ghost.

Despite their collective efforts, the ghost remained elusive, its evasion tactics proving to be a formidable challenge. As Naruto's sweat began to bead on his brow, worry etched itself onto the faces of his companions.

Yoo Sangah: We need to do something... Naruto looks exhausted.

Seolhwa: Is there anything we can do to help?

Jung Heewon: We have to find a weakness... there has to be one.

Lee Gilyoung: But how?

Their desperation mounting, the group racked their brains for a solution, but their efforts were met with frustration as they struggled to find a way to overcome the ghost's defenses.
