Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even had a chance to properly celebrate, three uninvited guests appeared out of nowhere. The enormous crocodile exuded a ferocious aura, and every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly; Xerath hovered in the air, surrounded by an eerie purple light, his eyes cold and sharp; the kobold held a giant axe, his face serious, as if ready to engage in battle at any moment.

Naruto looked at them warily and asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you here?" The crocodile let out a low growl and said in a stiff tone, "We sensed a powerful fluctuation here and came to investigate." Sasuke frowned, carefully examining them, pondering their intentions.

Just then, a strange disturbance emanated from the depths of the Divine Tree's remains, as if another danger was imminent. Everyone tensed instantly, while Sasuke and Naruto exchanged a glance, secretly preparing for another battle. At the same time, they pondered whether these three mysterious figures who had suddenly appeared were friend or foe, and whether they could become their allies in the upcoming crisis. From within the Divine Tree's remains, a gigantic black shadow slowly emerged—a colossal beetle monster covered in sharp spikes. This monster spewed corrosive slime, rapidly eroding the ground wherever it went, creating large craters.

Seeing this, the crocodile roared and charged, battling the beetle monster with its powerful claws. Xerath, meanwhile, gathered purple energy orbs in his hands and fired them continuously at the beetle monster. The kobold wielded its giant axe, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing this, Naruto shouted, "Looks like they're not the enemy! Let's attack together!" He then formed hand seals and unleashed a Rasengan, charging towards the beetle monster. Sasuke also activated his Sharingan, using Chidori to follow closely. Together, they engaged the beetle monster in a fierce battle. After a hard-fought fight, they finally defeated it. The crocodile, panting heavily, looked at Naruto and the others and said, "Now our goals are aligned; I'm willing to fight alongside you." Naruto grinned and said, "Alright, then let's protect this land together!" Thus, a new alliance was formed, ready to face the unknown challenges together.

The alliance had barely formed, and before they could even formulate a battle plan, an even more intense tremor emanated from the depths of the divine tree's remains. A figure several times larger than the giant beetle monster slowly rose—a treant behemoth formed from the fused remains of the divine tree. With each step it took, the earth cracked open, and its thick, branching arms whipped up gusts of wind.

The treant behemoth opened its massive jaws, filled with sharp teeth, and let out a deafening roar. Then, it unleashed beams of corrosive green light, causing everyone to scatter in fear. The crocodile roared and charged forward again, only to be hurled away by a branch swung by the treant behemoth.

Seeing this, Naruto shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! Focus your power on its weak points!" He, Sasuke, Xerath, and the others quickly adjusted their tactics. Xerath conjured a massive purple energy ball, the kobold swung its giant axe at the tree-man's legs, while Naruto and Sasuke attacked from both sides. Under their combined assault, the tree-man gradually showed signs of fatigue. Just then, the tree-man suddenly unleashed countless vines from the ground, trapping everyone. At the critical moment, the crocodile broke free and severed the vines with its claws. The group launched another fierce attack, finally defeating the tree-man. They knew, however, that even greater challenges awaited them.
