After the stone tablet was completely moved aside, it revealed the passage leading to the underground chamber.
A gust of cold wind blew out from within, causing Naruto and Sakura to shiver.
The eerie atmosphere made both of them quite scared.
However, seeing that Yoruha and Sasuke were unfazed, they felt embarrassed to say anything. Sasuke turned to look at Yoruha.
In the past, it was always his father who brought him here, and he wasn't sure if there were any traps in the chamber.
He didn't dare to casually lead Yoruha, Naruto, and the others down. Yoruha smiled, "Let's go down and take a look first."
Sasuke nodded. He was also worried that there might be traps in the chamber, which could potentially harm Sakura and Naruto.
Although Sasuke usually seemed to look down on Sakura and Naruto, deep down, they were already very good friends to him.
Otherwise, he would never have agreed to let them come to the Uchiha clan's shrine.
Sakura and Naruto glanced around and realized that staying above was scarier than following Yoruha and Sasuke down.
So they quickly said, "Yoruha, Sasuke, we, we'll go down together, we're not afraid." Yoruha looked at them, and their fear was written all over their faces.
After thinking for a moment, Yoruha said helplessly, "But there might be traps in the chamber, and it's dangerous for you to go down together." Sasuke nodded, agreeing with Yoruha's statement.
Sakura stepped forward and said, "Since Sasuke has been here before, there definitely won't be any danger."
Seeing Sakura's frightened expression, Yoruha shook his head, feeling quite helpless. "Sasuke, take them with us." Although he knew they were scared, Yoruha didn't point it out.
Sasuke glanced at Yoruha and instantly understood his intention.
Although he was somewhat worried about their safety, he agreed, knowing Yoruha was there.
Once Yoruha and Sasuke agreed, Sakura and Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
From the beginning, they had been very sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere, which was too eerie and terrifying.
They couldn't understand how Sasuke had lived in such an environment for so many years.
The four of them approached the entrance to the chamber.
There was a stone staircase leading down, and from the entrance, the chamber was completely dark and invisible.
Sasuke looked at Yoruha, who nodded, and the two of them entered the chamber first. Sakura and Naruto cautiously followed them inside.
Even Sasuke was a bit nervous, as in the past, he had always come with his father when there were people in the chamber.
Now, he wasn't sure if there would be any traps. "Tap, tap, tap..."
The four of them stepped into the chamber, surrounded by stone structures. Fortunately, as they entered the passage, lights on the walls automatically lit up.
But the more this happened, the more Yoruha felt a sense of danger.
After walking for over ten meters, they still hadn't reached the chamber.
The passage was long, and no one spoke, but the tension in the air was increasing.
Sakura walked right behind Sasuke, holding onto his clothes.
Naruto had taken out a kunai, gripping it in one hand while clutching Yoruha's clothes with the other.
In the passage, only the sound of their footsteps echoed, and the footsteps were very pronounced. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Just as they turned a corner, the sound of something slicing through the air suddenly appeared.
At the corner, neither Naruto nor Sakura had time to react. Sasuke, having already activated his Sharingan, noticed something was amiss.
But when he saw the incoming weapons through his Sharingan, he was terrified.
Countless kunai and shuriken were shooting towards them at an incredible speed, much faster than those thrown by a ninja, and with much greater force. The sound of a sonic boom even accompanied them.
"Watch out!" Sasuke shouted, having seen the threat with his Sharingan, but his body couldn't react in time. He could only warn the others.
But it was too late. In an instant, the barrage of kunai and shuriken appeared right in front of them.
Sasuke could only watch helplessly as these ninja tools came hurtling towards them.
At that moment, Sasuke felt deep regret. "I shouldn't have let them come in with me," he thought, filled with guilt.
The sheer number and speed of these kunai and shuriken were overwhelming.
He couldn't possibly block them all; they were too fast, too heavy, too numerous.
His body couldn't even respond, and the weapons were less than a meter away.
If Sasuke was struggling, Sakura and Naruto were even worse off.
They hadn't even seen the kunai and shuriken appear; they only heard Sasuke's warning.
Confused, they didn't understand what Sasuke was cautioning them about.
Just as the deadly barrage was about to strike them, a flash of golden light appeared.
"Zzz~" "Lightning Release: Thunder Net" "Clang clang clang..." In an instant, countless kunai and shuriken clashed against the golden shield. The sound of metal clashing filled the air, sparks flew, and iron fragments scattered, leaving the surrounding stone walls riddled with holes from the damaged weapons.
The assault of kunai and shuriken lasted a full two seconds, with hundreds of them striking the golden shield.
It was only after the sound of metal and the sparks faded that Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura realized what had happened.
They looked at the golden light enveloping them.
Golden arcs of electricity, containing terrifying energy, flickered across the surface. These arcs had formed a golden shield, protecting them within.
Sasuke and Naruto had never seen such a jutsu before.
But Sakura had. She turned to Yoruha. "Yoruha, Yoruha, if it weren't for you, we'd be dead. That scared me to death!"
Having seen it before, Sakura was still somewhat shocked but not incredulous. Naruto and Sasuke, however, had never witnessed Yoruha display such formidable power and were stunned into silence.
They had seen Yoruha fight a few times before, but never using Lightning Release techniques.
When Yoruha had fought against Naruto in his berserk state, he had used the same jutsu, but Naruto had been unconscious and had no memory of it.
Yoruha's Lightning Release: Thunder Net was blindingly bright, almost painfully so.
But they couldn't worry about that now; both were awestruck by Yoruha's power, as if witnessing a miracle.
Neither noticed that Yoruha had released the Thunder Net without forming any hand seals.
That's right, after some improvements, Yoruha's Lightning Release techniques no longer required hand seals; he could release them by simply gathering chakra.
Just now, Yoruha had sensed an attack and immediately deployed the Thunder Net. It took only a thought to activate it instantaneously.
After a while, Sasuke and Naruto snapped back to reality and turned to Yoruha.
"Yoruha, is this your power?" Yoruha replied calmly, "Let's talk inside. Be careful; there are really traps in here."
Although Sasuke and Naruto were intensely curious about Yoruha's power, they had to suppress their questions for now and wait until they were inside.
Yoruha maintained the Thunder Net, which not only provided illumination but also guarded against potential attacks.
