Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Kakashi's Lightning Blade and Sasuke's Kagutsuchi simultaneously slashed at the barrier rift, but were sucked into the void the instant they touched it.

Killer Bee's Samehada suddenly tripled in size, and the scales that appeared on the blade resonated with Hagoromo Gitsune's dragon scales.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the blood moon, the bronze giant suddenly froze into a statue.

The crowd, panting, gathered around and discovered that the twelve magatama were slowly moving along a star-patterned trajectory.

The tip of Hagoromo Gitsune's tail lightly touched the enemy's ankle, and the black substance that adhered to it suddenly condensed into half of a broken clan emblem in her palm.

This is not a creation of chakra... She twirled the starlight between her fingers, her pupils shrinking to vertical slits, but rather a materialized form... A sudden gust of bloody wind swallowed the rest of her sentence, the lingering light of the blood moon cast flowing shadows on the giant mask, and the swirling patterns began to rotate in reverse.

Chapter 266 Gaining Fifteen Seconds

A dark red halo flowed across the solidified body of the bronze giant, and the twelve magatama rubbed together along the star map, producing tiny sparks.

Killer Bee used Samehada to pick up a fallen dragon scale, the metallic resonance making everyone's eardrums ache—the scale was melting into a dark green liquid that seeped into the ground.

The earth's veins are rearranging. Nara Shikaku's sand-covered fingers trace the remaining stardust in the air, and those specks of light instantly form the outlines of the capitals of the five great nations. When the twelve magatama complete their constellation placement, this monster will...

The sudden surge in chakra fluctuations interrupted his analysis.

Kakashi's Sharingan spun wildly, bloodshot veins trickling down his face and onto his mask. His chakra was flowing erratically! He raised his hand and conjured Lightning Blade, the lightning illuminating the swirling patterns on the giant's abdomen. All the energy was converging there—a rhombus-shaped crystal was absorbing the power of the earth's veins!

Naruto's Nine-Tails cloak instantly swelled, only to be blocked by Sasuke's Kusanagi sword. "You loser, are you planning to use your shadow clones as a sacrifice to get through?" The purple light of his Rinnegan illuminated his tense jaw. "Look at Guy's sealing talisman; that thing can absorb ninjutsu and convert it into its own energy."

Are we supposed to wait until it drains the entire Land of Fire dry? Naruto clenched his fist, sparks of chakra erupting from it, and his nine tails plowed deep trenches into the ground.

The clash of their chakra created a shockwave that sent the talisman array that Hagoromo Gitsune was drawing flying.

A foul wind, carrying iron sand, suddenly swept in. Orochimaru stepped out from a distorted spatial rift, his golden vertical pupils sweeping over the crystal on the giant's abdomen. "How about the Reaper Death Kiss Technique?" He flicked his scarlet tongue, and seventeen white snakes emerged from his sleeve, coiling around the moving magatama. "Using the Impure World Reincarnation as bait, I need thirty-seven seconds."

Thirty-seven seconds is enough for you to pierce everyone's back. Kakashi's kunai pressed against Orochimaru's throat, Lightning Release chakra leaping at the tip of the blade.

Shikaku pressed down on his trembling wrist, and the sand table fragments pieced together a new deduction pattern at their feet: but if combined with the Cloud Village's Lightning Release armor and Hagoromo Gitsune's spatial folding...

Hagoromo Gitsune's third tail suddenly pierced the ground, foxfire burning along the earth's vein patterns, creating dazzling star trails. "I can buy you fifteen seconds." She wiped the blood from her lips, and the dragon scales on all nine tails rose simultaneously, but they required the Jinchuriki's Yang Release chakra as an anchor point.

Naruto broke free from Sasuke's grasp, and the Nine-Tails' chakra materialized into a giant hand, slamming into the barrier: "I'll be the anchor!" Sasuke's Susanoo arrow, though arriving later, struck first, pinning the chakra hand to the gap in the barrier: "Idiot, you need to coordinate with my Amaterasu Black Flame..."

Bagaya Road!

I haven't even shown my eighth sword style yet! Killer Bee swung his surging Samehada, cleaving through the rampaging sand and iron, and his lightning chakra exploded into seven sonic booms on the blade.

The phantom of the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor flashed behind him, resonating with Samehada to create a deafening thunderclap.

When the seventeenth white snake was crushed by the magatama, Orochimaru had completed his thirty-second hand seal.

His neck suddenly split open, and a large white phosphorus snake emerged, carrying the Kusanagi sword in its mouth, and stabbed at the crystal. The runes wrapped around the sword were the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

The foxfire from Hagoromo Gitsune burned along the sword into the giant's abdominal cavity, scorching spiderweb-like cracks into the protective shield on the crystal surface.

Now! Naruto's Rasenshuriken and Sasuke's Indra's Arrow struck the crack simultaneously, while Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball exploded precisely in the space distorted by Kakashi's Kamui.

The moment the crystal shattered, all twelve magatama emitted a mournful cry, and blood-red liquid began to seep from the swirling patterns on the bronze giant's body.

Chapter 267 Little Fox, It's Time to Wake Up

But no one noticed that the drop of blood that Hagoromo Gitsune caught was wriggling in her palm, gradually condensing into half of a clan emblem that was completely different from the previous one.

When Orochimaru sheathed the Kusanagi sword, a strange silver light flashed in the snake's eye at the hilt—it was starlight escaping from the crystal crack.

Blood rained down without warning.

The liquid seeping from the patterns on the bronze giant condensed in the air into sharp prisms, piercing the unfinished sealing array of Hagoromo Gitsune with countless holes.

Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly felt a burning pain—he clearly saw the twelve tomoe that should have dissipated were reforming into the inverted Big Dipper formation amidst the rain of blood.

"Back off!" Shikaku's roar mingled with the thunder as the sand table in his hand shattered into dust.

The earth vein nodes he had just deduced were now all out of place, and the flying sand and gravel turned into crimson meteors in the torrent of chakra.

Killer Bee's Samehada suddenly let out a mournful cry, and the Eight-Tails' chakra on the blade was forcibly extracted by some force, condensing into eerie purplish-red chains in the torrential rain.

Before Orochimaru's white phosphorus snake could retract its neck, the blood-red prism pierced through its body.

He staggered backward, his golden vertical pupils flashing with horror for the first time: This wasn't chakra... The pierced snake body was melting, the purplish-red chains wrapped around the decaying scales, corroding Orochimaru's left arm until only bare white bone remained.

He decisively swung his Kusanagi sword and severed his arm, but there was no blood at the cut—only silvery fragments scattered.

Kurama! Naruto's tailed beast cloak was suddenly torn open, and nine chakra tails uncontrollably pierced the ground.

He was horrified to discover that a suffocating suction force was emanating from the depths of the earth's veins, and the Yang Release power that originally belonged to the Tailed Beasts was flowing back into the bronze giant's body along the chains formed by the blood rain.

Sasuke's Susanoo arrows suddenly changed direction, and Amaterasu black flames burned an isolation circle around Naruto's feet: Don't move, you loser!

The ley lines have become bear traps!

Suddenly, Hagoromo Gitsune's three tails broke off at the base, and what gushed out from the broken ends was not blood but dazzling stardust.

She staggered and pressed the half of the clan emblem in her palm to her chest. The foxfire turned black: "I miscalculated... This is not a ley line reconstruction..." Her unfinished words were drowned out by the sudden shriek of the bronze giant. The sound was like thousands of kunai scraping against bronze, causing everyone to bleed from their seven orifices.

Kakashi's Lightning Blade flickered in his palm, and the blood flowing from his Sharingan spread into dark red flowers on his mask.

He noticed that on the surface of the crystal that had re-condensed on the giant's abdomen, a pattern similar to the clan emblem in Hagoromo Gitsune's hand appeared: Shikaku!

Sand table simulations need to incorporate spacetime variables! But the only response he received was the ear-piercing sound of sand and iron rubbing together—the Fourth Kazekage's puppet sand went out of control amidst the blood rain, transforming into a crimson storm that swept in.

Killer Bee attempted to wrap his companion in his Tailed Beast Cloak, only to discover that the Eight-Tails' chakra was being frantically devoured by the blood-red chains. Hachi exclaimed, "This isn't the power our world should have!" Cracks appeared in his sunglasses, and for the first time, his Lightning Release armor showed unstable energy fluctuations.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly trembled violently. He saw countless translucent souls rising from the feet of the bronze giant, each soul with half a blood-dripping clan emblem embedded in its chest.

Suddenly, Hagoromo Gitsune let out a shrill laugh, and the remaining six tails simultaneously plunged into her own heart.

Amidst the gushing stardust, the half of the clan emblem was finally completed—it turned out to be the totem of the Kaguya clan, which had been destroyed in ancient times.

Her bloodied fingertips traced Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak, and Kurama's chakra suddenly surged: Little fox, it's time to wake up...

But the warning came too late.

A dark red sphere of light had already condensed at the fingertips of the bronze giant; it was a world-destroying array composed of twelve inverted Big Dipper magatama.

The blood rain stopped at that moment, and every drop reflected the astonished faces of the crowd—they saw an illusion emerging from the sphere of light: the simultaneous collapse of the capitals of the five great nations.

When the first ray of blood-red light pierced through the thundercloud barrier of Kumogakure, Killer Bee found his Eight-Sword Style starting stance becoming incredibly heavy.

His prized sense of rhythm is fading, as if someone is tearing his soul apart with an invisible hand.

The foxfire of Hagoromo Gitsune had turned dark purple at some point, and the sparks that fell to the ground did not go out, but instead burned along the earth's vein patterns toward Konoha.

Kakashi's Sharingan finally succumbed to the strain and temporarily went blind, but in the darkness he saw something even more terrifying—countless silver star-like fragments were drifting from everyone's wounds toward the newly formed crystals of the Bronze Giant, and the same starlight was leaking from Orochimaru's severed arm.

Chapter 268 Corpse Bone Pulse

The world-destroying array at the bronze giant's fingertips slowly rotated amidst the blood rain, the twelve inverted Big Dipper magatama resembling blood-soaked pupils.

As Tsunade broke through the thundercloud barrier, purple foxfire spread along the cracked rock beneath her feet, each flame transforming into the shape of a fox's shriek.

Palm Immortal Technique - Hundred Healing Seal! As she formed the hand seals, the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead emitted a jade-green glow.

The blood mist rising from the dying Sand Village ninja suddenly stopped, drawn back to his wound by an unseen force.

However, when her palm touched the severed arm of the Cloud Ninja, her pupils suddenly contracted—in the muscle tissue that should have been healing, fragments of silver star were flowing backward along the chakra meridians.

Kakashi leaned against the broken pillar, panting, when his unfocused right eye suddenly twitched violently.

He roared at the void: Don't touch those starlight! Before he finished speaking, the crystal on the bronze giant's chest suddenly shone brightly, and the injured man who had been healed by Tsunade suddenly convulsed and leaped up, his eye sockets spewing out the same silver light.

It's the Kaguya clan's Corpse Bone Pulse! Hagoromo Gitsune's shrill laughter was accompanied by thunder. Beneath her tattered robes, stark white bones were revealed. Her six fox tails were resonating with the chakra deep within the earth's veins. The bloodline limit that was erased by the Sage of Six Paths back then is now being reborn through your blood and bones!

Killer Bee's Samehada sword on his back suddenly let out a mournful cry, and the Eight-Tails' chakra cloak looked like a giant beast entangled in an invisible spider web.

He simultaneously released all seven knives from his hands and drove them into the ground, then used the last shuriken to slash his palm: Idiot!

asshole!

Octopus tentacles, get moving! The moment blood dripped, the eight-tailed tentacles finally broke free of the silver threads, but they slammed Naruto out of the range of the world-destroying array.

Sasuke! As Naruto was swept backward by the crimson chakra, he saw that familiar bolt of lightning.

The Thousand Birds Spear drew a resolute arc, Sasuke's Sharingan spun into a kaleidoscope shape amidst the blood rain, and he transformed into purple lightning, crashing into the bronze giant's elbow joint.

The sound of bones shattering was swallowed up by the roar of the world-destroying array. The boy fell like a falcon with broken wings, his right arm twisted unnaturally, but it tore open a sliver of space for Naruto's deadly sphere of light.

The Nine-Tails' chakra burned with a bloody taste in Naruto's throat. As he caught his falling friend, Sasuke's clan crest headband was being eroded by fragments of silver starlight. The loser... Sasuke coughed up blood that stained Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak. Your tactics... were a beat too slow.

Kakashi's kunai suddenly pierced through the air, shattering the crystallizing blood droplet on Sasuke's neck.

This Jonin, who always talked about putting his comrades first, now spoke with a voice as cold as the perpetual ice of the Land of Snow: Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, make sure you see the frequency of your enemy's heartbeat!

When Naruto concentrated his chakra in his pupils, the whole world suddenly lost its color.

Deep within the crystals of the bronze giant's abdomen, the pulsation of the twelve tomoe resonated with the silver star oozing from Sasuke's wound.

The moment the World-Destroying Array Diagram recharged, he saw it—the Kaguya Clan Crest appeared on the surface of the crystal, identical to the one on Hagoromo Gitsune's chest.

More mature than an older man!

Kakashi-sensei! Naruto channeled the Tailed Beast's chakra into his vocal cords, his roar shattering the blood rain within a ten-meter radius. Three seconds later, he struck its Tanzhong acupoint, one foot above it!

Killer Bee's Eight-Sword Style lost its rhythmic beauty for the first time, but instead, with a violent, suicidal attack, severed the Bronze Titan's knee.

Kakashi used his last bit of chakra to activate Kamui, and the distorted spatial rift appeared exactly where Naruto had marked it.

When Tsunade's monstrous punch shattered the crystal's surface, everyone heard Hagoromo Gitsune's heart-wrenching scream.

The shattered crystals did not fall; instead, they transformed into countless silver stars that drifted towards the five great nations.

Naruto knelt in the pool of blood, holding the gradually cooling Sasuke, and suddenly noticed that his Nine-Tails cloak was fading.

The starlight scattered by the aftershocks of the battle is gathering into a new array in the unseen sky—a giant Tenseigan composed of twelve tomoe.

Amidst the deafening roar of the collapsing thundercloud barrier, Killer Bee suddenly tore off one of his octopus tentacles.

When the viscous blood was splashed onto the bronze giant's remains, it surprisingly produced a sizzling sound, like cold water being poured onto a branding iron. This is troublesome, you idiot! For the first time, the smile behind his sunglasses vanished. These starlight... are consuming chakra, you bastard...

Tsunade's hand, which was about to cast a sealing technique, froze in mid-air.

She saw the life energy in her palm transforming into golden threads that floated into the sky, while half of a reverse-rotating magatama faintly appeared between the brows of the unconscious Sasuke.

Blood rain condensed into cinnabar-like particles that floated in mid-air, and Naruto's trembling fingers pressed against Sasuke's carotid artery.

The clan emblem headband on the boy's back was broken in two, revealing the silver patterns that writhed like earthworms beneath his skin.

As soon as Tsunade's Healing Palm technique touched those patterns, the chakra pathways suddenly appeared like rivers illuminated by moonlight—deep within each silver pattern was half a tomoe rotating in reverse.

"Sealing team!" Tsunade shouted, but found her voice sounded particularly weak in the aftershocks of the collapsing barrier.

She looked down at her palm, where the life energy that had been extracted was transforming into firefly-like golden specks, drifting towards the gradually forming twelve-comma array in the sky.

Chapter 269 The Sealing Squad Escapes

The shattered remains of the bronze giant suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and a bone fragment engraved with Kaguya's clan crest silently embedded itself into Sasuke's wound.

Kakashi staggered, using kunai to prop himself up, blood flowing down his headband and into his Sharingan.

When he used his last bit of strength to tear open Sasuke's collar, the gasp he made startled Killer Bee, who was bandaging his ribs.

On the boy's pale chest, silver patterns were visibly outlining half a skull totem—perfectly matching the white bone patterns revealed beneath the feathered fox robe.

The entire sealing squad has retreated! Nara Shikaku suddenly looked up from the tactical scroll. The planetarium in his hand was emitting a blinding red light. This starlight was absorbing the fluctuations of ninjutsu, and all the chakra would become nourishment for the array! As if confirming his judgment, a crisp sound of shattering glass suddenly came from high above. The thundercloud barrier that shrouded the battlefield completely dissipated, revealing an eerily clear night sky.

Naruto suddenly wrapped Sasuke's entire body in the Nine-Tails' cloak.

The boy's eyelashes, still unconscious, formed ice crystals within the tailed beast's chakra, while the reversed tomoe between his brows grew ever clearer. Something resonated within him. Naruto looked up, his voice hoarse, and saw the first ray of silver light pierce through the clouds, just like... just like the light when Pain attacked.

Kirabi's sunglasses suddenly shattered, and he covered his bleeding right eye, kneeling on one knee.

The eight-tailed tentacles pounded the ground frantically, writing scribbled ancient characters in the pool of blood: "When the moonlight dyes the feathers of the Yatagarasu..." Before the words were finished, the octopus tentacles turned into chakra smoke and dissipated.

The afterimage of Hagoromo Gitsune reassembled a hundred meters away, and her tattered fox tail swept across Naruto's cheek: Little fox, do you think the Sage of Six Paths erased Kaguya's bloodline limit back then?

Tsunade's Hundred Healings Mark suddenly dimmed like a candle flickering in the wind.

She stared blankly at her fingertips, which were gradually becoming transparent, as the life energy swallowed by starlight was weaving an even larger array in the sky.

As the first silver star fell at Kakashi's feet, the rift in the Kamui dimension suddenly burst forth with a black light like an eclipse.

Everyone close your eyes! Shikaku tears open the treasured sealed scroll, only to find that the ink-written talisman is fading.

His ever-commanding voice finally cracked: This isn't chakra...this is something far more ancient than natural energy...
