In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 392 Naruto Dies

"Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands".

Qianye clapped his hands together, and the wooden dragon beneath his feet suddenly exploded with a loud bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Amidst the dust, a massive, overwhelming figure, surpassing even Madara's complete Susanoo, suddenly reached out and covered the imposing Susanoo as if grabbing a chick.

"Oh no! Nine-Tails, lend me a hand!" Sasuke exclaimed in alarm. With such a huge difference in size and such speed, there was absolutely no way to dodge.

Helpless, Sasuke had no choice but to follow Madara's example and insert the Susanoo Blade into the Tailed Beast Ball to increase its attack power.

"Leave it to me." Kurama didn't dare to be careless either. In desperation, it gathered as much as possible a Tailed Beast Ball that was several times larger than its head, and then inserted Sasuke's Susanoo Blade.

It suddenly spun and launched itself toward the giant hand that was grabbing at it.

But the giant hand that grabbed at them clearly didn't play by the rules. It was as agile as a human hand, and with a fly swatter, a combination of Susanoo Blade and Tailed Beast Ball Sage Technique, it was sent flying.

It landed on a distant mountain range and exploded with a deafening roar.

At this moment, the allied forces finally saw the figure of the owner of the giant hand.

The dust settled.

A thousand-armed Buddha statue, hundreds of times larger than Madara's complete Susanoo, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

The giant hand that slapped away Susanoo was one of the Thousand Hands.

Compared to this enormous divine tree, it was not much different from a sapling.

"Sasuke, Naruto, it's time to end this." Chiya controlled the nine arms behind the Buddha statue, which grabbed at the nine tailed beasts.

Among them, the majestic Susanoo was given special care by Qianye, who used the giant hand of the Buddha statue itself.

"So, the gap between us has always been this big?" Erzhuzi knelt down with a thud, his eyes glazed over, sinking into an even more depressed mood than Naruto.

They just let the giant hand hold them.

"Naruto, pull yourself together!" Kurama was naturally unwilling to be captured by Chiya. It roared to the sky, calling out to Naruto while struggling violently, but all of it seemed so futile and powerless.

They simply let the Buddha statue be held in their hands, unable to move.

Naruto remained in a dejected state, having given up resisting, and was powerless to resist anyway.

"Don't worry, Naruto, you are my stepson, and unlike Sasuke, who wanted to kill me, you genuinely consider me your father. I won't kill you. Once everything is over, I will come and revive you."

As Chiya spoke, he raised his right hand, and a chakra demon hand, resembling a corpse demon sealing the Grim Reaper, suddenly shot out, ignoring the obstruction of Susanoo and the Nine-Tails' body, and went straight to Naruto's abdomen.

This is a ninjutsu developed by Chiya during his travels through the ninja world, learning ninjutsu from various eras, and based on the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, specifically for releasing the seals of tailed beasts.

As long as the amount of chakra does not exceed his, he can still pull out even the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

At the same time, he can also use this to steal the chakra of ordinary ninjas.

It is an all-around ninjutsu that combines unsealing, sealing, and plundering.

Naruto let out a scream of pain as a ball of fiery red chakra was pulled out by Chiya.

As the Susanoo armor dissipated, Naruto's pupils trembled violently before he completely lost consciousness.

The ball of fiery red chakra transformed into the Nine-Tails' body, which was firmly gripped by one of the hands behind the Buddha statue, rendering it unable to move.

It's worth mentioning that at the moment Kurama was pulled out of Naruto's body by Chiya, Kurama, just like in the original story, begged Gaara to beg Sasuke.

However, to prevent Chiya from eavesdropping, it used chakra to communicate telepathically.

At the same time, Obito, who was on the verge of death, was also relaying a message to Sasuke. Because the Gedo Mazo was still inside him, and Kurama had previously entered his mental space, the two could still communicate.

He used the Nine-Tails to remind Sasuke that he must obtain some of the One-Tail and Eight-Tails' chakra for Naruto.

These are the two things Naruto lacks. Only then can he have any hope of defeating Chiya.

Qianye was naturally aware of these underhanded tactics. In fact, he was quite pleased with them, as they would draw out the old man, Liudao, who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

And so, he let Sasuke, along with Naruto, jump off the Buddha statue, raise their hands, and hurriedly run towards the Fourth Hokage.

"This thing really consumes a lot of chakra. Even I would probably be unable to keep up with it after a while."

"Fortunately, I have left shadow clones all over the ninja world to collect Sage Chakra, so I don't have to worry about chakra consumption."

"However, having so many hands makes it difficult to travel quickly, so I'll put the extra hands away."

Qianye murmured to himself, controlling the Buddha statue to retract its extra hands. The entire Buddha statue stood up, nearly two thousand meters tall (1800 meters according to Baidu). It took in the entire earth.

"Fourth Hokage, is there really no way to save Naruto?" The Second Hokage frowned as he looked at the colossal creature that stood thousands of meters tall in front of him.

"No, the Flying Thunder God Technique was hidden within Naruto's sealing technique. Now that the seal has been broken, the technique has also disappeared."

The fourth generation was equally anxious, his gaze fixed on the towering Buddha statue. Amidst his worry, he couldn't help but wonder what Chiya was planning.

Why should we aid and abet evil?

Just then, Sasuke jumped down from the Buddha statue with Naruto in his arms.

"Quickly, Fourth Hokage, transfer half of the Nine-Tails inside you into Naruto's body." These were the first words Sasuke said after arriving at their side.

"I understand." Seventeen years ago, the Fourth Hokage learned from Chiya that if a tailed beast was deprived of its power and the tailed beast was sealed back in time, the jinchūriki could be revived.

Even without Sasuke saying anything, the Fourth Hokage had already started forming hand seals.

Because Chiyo had captured all nine tailed beasts, and Obito and the Rinnegan were also in Chiyo's hands, Black Zetsu's entire attention was focused on Chiyo, and he did not seize the tailed beasts during their transfer as he did in the original story.

The other half of Kurama's body was successfully transferred into Naruto's body.

But Naruto did not wake up.

"What on earth is going on?" The Fourth Hokage was sweating profusely with anxiety. He had no idea that Naruto's consciousness had already gone to see the Six Paths of Heroes.

Recalling Obito's instructions, Sasuke said, "There should be two things missing."

As he spoke, he relayed Obito's words.

The Second Hokage said urgently, "There's no time. The One-Tailed and Eight-Tailed are both in Chiya's hands. This is our last chance. Once that guy becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, he will be an even more terrifying being than Obito. At that time, everything will be over."

"Young man from the Uchiha clan, Tora-dai-sister. Follow me."

Just as the Second Hokage was about to set off, Gaara and the Raikage's voices rang out from behind, "Let's go together too."

"Kakashi? Gaara? Raikage? Tsuchikage?" The Second Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, and Sasuke turned around in surprise.
