Killer Bee suddenly ripped open his blood-stained shirt, and ink formed from the Eight-Tails' chakra flowed across his chest, instantly drawing the warning totem passed down through generations of Kumogakure.
As his rap echoed across the battlefield, a chill ran through everyone: Yo~ The silver star eats the moon~ Idiot~ The chakra-eating monster is about to appear~
Sasuke, who was in Naruto's arms, suddenly convulsed, and the reversed tomoe patterns had spread all over half of his face.
At this moment, the array in the sky completed its final pattern, and the twelve magatama simultaneously opened their blood-red pupils.
As the first beam of light pierced through the clouds, the rock beneath their feet suddenly became transparent—deep within the earth's veins, tens of thousands of Kaguya skeletons were gazing up at the starry sky, their skeletal hands all pointing towards the Land of Fire.
The thunder roared in the absolute silence, but it did not come from the sky.
Tsunade stared blankly at her hand, which had returned to solid form, and noticed that all the chakra specks that had floated into the air had stopped.
At the center of the array of silver stars, a glass-like crack slowly opened, and a sound somewhere between crying and laughing seeped in from another dimension.
Chapter 270 The Same This Time Too
The moment the twelve blood-red tomoe swirled across the sky, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie stillness.
Naruto stared at the mountain of Kaguya clan skeletons piled beneath his feet, the Nine-Tails' chakra burning painfully within his meridians. This was the chakra's warning. Gaara leaned against the gold dust platform, whispering, "The sand in the gourd is uncontrollably turning into dust and drifting towards the cracks."
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Shikamaru suddenly grabbed the orange-clad ninja who was about to leap up, his fingertips digging deep into the man's wrist guard. "Do you know why those skeletons all point to the Land of Fire?" The scroll he unfurled revealed rubbings of the Sage of Six Paths' talismans; the missing pattern perfectly matched the totem on Killer Bee's chest. "The warning poem from Kumogakure isn't a prophecy, it's a record of an ancient battlefield—those silver stars are the organs of the Kaguya clan that devour chakra!"
Sakura's chakra scalpel suddenly sparked.
She looked up at Sasuke, who was suspended before the crack. The boy's face, half-eroded by the reverse-swept magatama, was cracking, blood droplets forming thin lines that flowed into the azure fissure. "Naruto-kun," she thought, crushing the slug clone in her palm into a healing green light. If this was Kaguya Otsutsuki's trap...
Before he finished speaking, the golden chakra erupting from Naruto's body had already created a shockwave.
Nine phantom fox tails shattered the stagnant chakra light. His last glance before leaping into the crevice reflected Sasuke's falling figure: I was able to bring him back from the Valley of the End back then, and I will do the same this time!
The pressure in the chaotic space instantly shattered the tailed beast's outer garment.
Naruto knelt in the viscous void, staring at his right arm, now disintegrated into chakra particles—a hundred meters away, Kaguya Otsutsuki's pale hand cradled Sasuke's unconscious body, twelve tomoe forming a new Rinnegan on her forehead. The Indra reincarnation tasted better than expected. She lightly licked the chakra crystals seeping from the corner of her mouth. The All-Killing Ash Bones floating behind her suddenly changed direction, but the ants that willingly jumped into the Origin Sphere weren't even worthy of being a container.
Eight Trigrams Empty Palm! The moment the Gentle Fist Chakra missed the Ash Bones, Sakura, whose body was covered in Sand Armor, rolled and landed beside Naruto.
Her trembling hands were channeling the Yin Seal chakra into the Rasengan, her pink hair covered with fragments of Sunagakure's special soldier rations: the Sunagakure puppeteers had used Magnet Release to create chakra anchors, but they could only last for three minutes at most!
A deafening roar, as if the earth were about to collapse, could be heard from the outside.
Gaara's manipulated sand waves, together with the Raikage's Lightning Release armor, were tearing through a spatial rift. The Cloud Village ninja's synchronized Lightning Release symphony ripped a small opening in the chaos. Foolish. Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinnegan suddenly reversed, and the All-Killing Ash Bones, frozen at the edge of the rift, poured down like a torrential rain. "I am a chakra..."
Her words were suddenly shattered by the golden chains.
Naruto's Adamantine Lock, drawn from thin air, pierced his own abdomen, and the chains, bound by the Nine-Tails' chakra, temporarily restrained Kaguya's movements. Now! The blood he vomited splattered onto Sakura's Hundred Healings Technique array, and he snatched Sasuke back!
Sand Rain, carrying explosive tags, poured into the breach, while Ebizo's puppet strings precisely wrapped around Sasuke's ankle.
When Sakura's cherry blossom punch shattered the chakra crystal cluster that was binding Sasuke, everyone saw Kaguya Otsutsuki smile—it wasn't a human facial muscle movement, but rather ripples of countless faces moving across her skin.
So that's how it is. Her white hair suddenly surged and engulfed the entire primordial space, and the suspended All-Killing Ash Bones began to merge into the shape of a sapling. You're using that woman's technique... The moment the white hair raged and swallowed the sky, the sand waves manipulated by Gaara suddenly solidified into pale white crystals.
The Raikage's fist, wrapped in lightning armor, slammed into the edge of the spatial rift, but the exploding arc of electricity was like a firefly falling into a deep pool, instantly swallowed up by the inverted Rinnegan on Kaguya's forehead.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Technique! Ebizo roared as he pulled the puppet strings into a bowstring, but the Sand Village's specially made chakra metal rusted and broke the moment it touched the white hair.
Granny Chiyo's puppet's left arm suddenly exploded into wood chips—and those scattered fragments began to take root and sprout, opening up countless tomoe-shaped tree eyes among the twisted branches.
Watch out! Sakura's warning stuck in her throat.
Kaguya's floating body suddenly collapsed into a singularity like a black hole, and the twelve magatama reassembled into a tree-shaped totem at the location where she disappeared.
As soon as the seal scroll Shikamaru unfurled revealed the Sage of Six Paths' talisman, eerie blue flames ignited on the paper—the flames did not devour matter, but rather the chakra memories attached to it.
Sakura, who was in Naruto's arms, suddenly trembled violently.
Her taut meridians, strained from maintaining the Hundred Healings Technique, glowed with a pearly light—a sign that the Yin Seal chakra was flowing backward into her heart. The medical team had clearly stated... Naruto pressed futilely on the throbbing blue veins on the side of her neck, the healing sphere of Nine-Tails chakra condensed in his palm constantly being eroded by the void matter. Why was the Hundred Healings Technique disintegrating?
Because I am savoring your time. Kaguya's voice rang out simultaneously from every floating grain of sand.
Her pale fingertips pierced through space and appeared on Sakura's chest. Her index finger, wrapped with the All-Killing Ash Bones, gently touched the blooming Yin Seal pattern: This technique... was deduced in reverse using the Ten-Tails' chakra, right?
The explosive tags carried by the sand rain suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Gaara, vomiting blood, maneuvered the gold sand platform to crash into Kaguya's phantom, only to be overturned by the spatial turbulence the instant it touched her phantom.
The Raikage, clad in lightning armor, transformed into lightning and launched a surprise attack, but as he pierced through Kaguya's body, he was entangled at the ankle by countless white hairs—the ends of those hairs revealed the faces of the Cloud Village ninjas being devoured.
Naruto... Sakura suddenly grabbed the boy's trembling wrist.
The blood that spilled from the corner of her mouth condensed into chakra crystals in mid-air, her pupils reflecting Kaguya's slowly opening crimson Rinnegan on her forehead: My chakra pathways are being rewritten... quickly sever my chakra circulation...
The golden light emanating from the Nine-Tailed Cloak enveloped the two of them.
Naruto looked at the pearl-colored patterns spreading across Sakura's chest; those patterns, which should have belonged to the Yin Seal, were twisting into the wedge-shaped symbols unique to the Otsutsuki clan.
The scene of Minato Namikaze sealing the Nine-Tails twenty years ago suddenly flashed back in his memory. He bit his tongue and swallowed the metallic taste: What nonsense are you talking about!
It's my turn to protect everyone this time!
Suddenly, the sound of tree roots bursting open echoed through the void.
The All-Killing Ash Bones floating all around began to merge into a colossal tree reaching to the sky, with each branch hanging down with a chakra cocoon that enveloped the ninja.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's true form slowly emerged from the center of the tree trunk. She stroked Sasuke's pale face in her arms, while the Truth-Seeking Balls unfolding behind her compressed the entire Origin Sphere into a pitch-black sphere the size of a palm.
"Look at the sky!" Shikamaru's hoarse shout pierced through the chakra storm.
The sky, obscured by the tree canopy, cracked open with a spiderweb-like pattern, and a darkness deeper than the night seeped out from the cracks—wherever that darkness passed, even Kaguya's white hair began to curl and wither.
Sakura, who was in Naruto's arms, suddenly let out a broken groan.
The wedge-shaped symbol on her chest erupted with a vortex that devoured light, and the cloak formed from the Nine-Tails' chakra was being frantically pulled away.
In the final moment before his consciousness was torn apart, the crimson flame that ignited deep within the orange-clad boy's pupils was more violent and ferocious than any Tailed Beast Ball.
Chapter 271 Mingming's voice trembled when he was most afraid.
The blood mist evaporated into crimson-gold particles in Naruto's burst of chakra, and the cracked rock beneath the boy's feet was being scorched into lava by the Nine-Tails' cloak.
His broken headband metal slashed his cheek, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain as he roared at Kaguya, his nine chakra tails swaying behind him sweeping away the falling All-Killing Ash Bones into dust.
"Don't let anger erode your meridians!" Sasuke's Lightning Blade suddenly plunged into the rock three inches in front of Naruto, and the sharp cry of Chidori pierced the eardrums.
The blood streaming from his left eye congealed into dark red ice crystals on his pale jawline, but the tomoe flowing in his Rinnegan shone brighter than ever: "Look at where Sakura's chakra is flowing!"
Naruto's berserk pupils suddenly contracted.
The golden chakra drawn from Sakura's chest did not flow to Kaguya, but instead condensed into thousands of sealing runes among the branches of the giant tree—just like the cursed seal that her father used to seal the Nine-Tails on her mother's abdomen twenty years ago.
“She’s rewriting the Yin Seal…” Kakashi’s Kamui vortex enveloped Killer Bee as they crashed to the ground. His Sharingan swept over the ever-expanding chakra cocoons around him. “These cocoons are absorbing the Allied Shinobi Forces’ chakra to reconstruct the spatial structure. Kaguya is going to compress the entire planet into a new fruit.”
The giant tree trunk suddenly emitted a teeth-grinding tearing sound.
The moment the chakra cocoon enveloping Sasuke burst open, Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan suddenly turned to the northwest—two figures, imbued with lightning and earth release techniques, were breaking through the spatial barrier; they were the assault team led by the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage.
"Now!" Killer Bee's Eight-Tails' tentacles suddenly curled up Hinata and tossed her into the air. "The little girl's Gentle Fist technique can disrupt the flow of chakra!" His narrowed eyes behind his sunglasses caught Kaguya's momentary distraction, and eight ninja swords wrapped in lightning release were simultaneously thrown at the drooping chakra cocoons.
Hinata's snow-white pupils reflected Naruto's backlit figure.
She remembered the boy shielding her from Pain's black rods during the Chunin Exams, and how he smiled and said on the moon, "Because Hinata is a genius."
The Bagua Empty Palm, formed from the slender palm, suddenly burst forth, and 128 soft fist energies precisely struck the magatama fluttering on Kaguya's sleeve.
"A brat from the Hyuga clan?" Kaguya looked down at the girl who was still charging forward despite being burned by Truth-Seeking Balls, and the All-Killing Ash Bones that was gathering at her fingertips suddenly changed direction.
This fleeting opening allowed Sasuke's Susanoo to pierce through space like an arrow, and the Kusanagi sword, wrapped in Amaterasu's black flames, stabbed into her left shoulder.
"Why..." Naruto watched Hinata gracefully dodge the storm of gray bones, the Nine-Tails' chakra-formed fox cloak suddenly losing its ferocity, "Even when you were most afraid, your voice would tremble..."
"This is the power of love~" Killer Bee's rap suddenly rang out amidst the deafening explosion. He transformed into his Perfect Eight-Tails form and caught Hinata as she fell with his tentacles. "Now it's time for the main character to appear, you idiot! You bastard!"
Kakashi pulled off his headband, revealing his Mangekyou Sharingan. His Kamui vortex combined Sasuke's Amaterasu fire with Naruto's Tailed Beast Ball into a chaotic sphere of light: "Kaguya will use Yomotsu Hirasaka to transfer her attack in three seconds. Hinata, please use your Byakugan to lock onto the spatial coordinates!"
"I see it!" Pure chakra flowed from the veins bulging at the corner of the girl's eyes. "Thirty degrees of Kun position, nine zhang above the ground!" Her blood-stained fingertip touched Naruto's palm, conveying not only the coordinates, but also the feelings she had never expressed for twenty years.
When the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor and the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release simultaneously struck the designated location, the entire Origin Sphere space suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Kaguya's snow-white hair danced wildly in the shattered spatial rifts, and Sasuke in her arms had somehow transformed into a wooden clone imbued with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Now!" The real Sasuke appeared from the Kamui dimension, his Rinnegan resonating with Naruto's Nine-Tails Mode.
In the golden light that shone brighter than the sun, the Sage of Six Paths' chakra materialized into a staff surrounded by Truth-Seeking Balls, while the pitch-black sphere that slowly emerged behind Kaguya began to ooze a viscous darkness that did not belong to this world.
For the first time, cracks appeared on Kaguya Otsutsuki's flawless face, and the dark matter that seeped in from the spatial rift wrapped around her ankles like living things.
Just as everyone's combined attack was about to hit a vital point, the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead suddenly reflected a blurry figure behind Naruto—a figure with the same chakra fluctuations as Sakura… The instant the chakra ball formed, the blood beads floating in the air suddenly condensed into countless rhomboid crystals.
Asphalt-like substances gushed from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's left shoulder, which had been scorched by Amaterasu, the dark fragments clinging to the corners of everyone's clothes transformed into chains, dragging them toward the ever-collapsed core.
The direction of gravity is reversed! The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release barrier suddenly twisted into a spiral shape, and his age-spotted hands gripped the Fourth Raikage's arm armor tightly.
The previously suspended rubble began to rise against the gravitational field, while the lava beneath their feet was vaporizing into purple mist at a visible speed.
Killer Bee's fully transformed tailed beast form was the first to slam into the sphere's inner wall. His eight octopus tentacles were instantly broken down into primordial chakra particles upon contact with the chakra membrane. "This thing is devouring our ninjutsu!" His sunglasses reflected Kakashi's deformed right arm, torn apart by the Kamui vortex, as he attacked with taijutsu!
Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly trembled violently.
He saw the Hyuga clan's unique Rotation Crest appear where Hinata's Gentle Fist had struck, and the Flying Thunder God Seal on Naruto's palm, which hadn't yet faded, resonated with those markings. "Loser!" His fingertips, enveloped in Lightning Release chakra, suddenly pierced his right eye, using Yin-Yang Release to guide the attack on Hinata's pressure points!
The air density has been compressed to the point that the ripples of light refraction can be seen.
Fine beads of blood began to seep from the skin beneath Naruto's Nine-Tails cloak, yet he held Sakura, who was unconscious, tightly in his arms.
The image of her mother, Kushina Uzumaki, sealing the Nine-Tails twenty years ago suddenly flashed through her mind—the chains wrapped with the Reaper Death Seal runes were gradually overlapping with the dark chains binding everyone at this moment.
It wasn't devouring... Kakashi suddenly ripped off his blood-soaked headband, his Mangekyou Sharingan oozing pus and blood from overuse. She was using our chakra to reconstruct the laws of space! In the crack torn open by the Kamui vortex, countless suspended meteorites could be vaguely seen, arranged according to the pattern of Kaguya's Rinnegan on her forehead.
Hinata's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms suddenly created a series of afterimages.
The thin lines of chakra flowing in her snow-white pupils pierced through layers of barriers, finally focusing on a pulsating spot of light on Naruto's back—there was a warm chakra that did not belong to Kurama, slowly flowing along his spine into her palm.
So that's how it is... Sasuke's blood-stained lips suddenly curled into a cold smile.
The Hashirama cells transplanted into his right eye suddenly bulged with veins, and wood-style branches wrapped with sage runes grew from the broken section of his left arm, which had been smashed by the Raikage.
When the wooden branch touched the Kamui vortex that Kakashi maintained, a crisp sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out inside the entire chakra sphere.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's body, which was suspended outside the sphere, suddenly staggered backward.
The magatama fluttering on her sleeves had somehow become stained with Killer Bee's ink, and those seemingly random doodles formed a reverse summoning circle on the surface of her chakra membrane.
The most fatal flaw was Sakura's eyes suddenly opening in Naruto's arms—those unfocused turquoise pupils were now pulsating with the same Adamantine Lockdown light as Mito Uzumaki twenty years ago.
The sonic boom generated by the air compression shattered the last piece of rock on which the foothold stood.
When Sasuke's Rinnegan and Naruto's azure pupils met through the blood mist, a bond that transcended the resonance of tailed beasts suddenly surged within the chakra sphere—like the soul tremors of Indra and Ashura a thousand years ago piercing through the river of time, awakening the sealing formula personally inscribed by the Sage of Six Paths into a new dawn.
Chapter 272 Believe in the passion of young people, teacher!
The space inside the chakra sphere was collapsing at a visible speed, and floating pebbles cut fine beads of blood as they grazed Hinata's cheeks.
Naruto held Sakura, who was gradually regaining consciousness, in his arms with one hand, while his other hand gripped the melting rock wall tightly—the chakra membranes that Kaguya Otsutsuki called Ame no Minaka were now secreting corrosive mucus as if they were alive.
Thirty seconds left. Sasuke's voice, tinged with the stench of blood, rang out. The bulging veins in his right eye had spread all the way to his neck, and the Sage Mode runes on the Wood Release branches were creating a strange resonance with Kakashi's Kamui vortex.
As the tip of the branch pierced the edge of the vortex for the third time, Naruto suddenly realized that the runes were exactly the same as the toad contract on the stone wall of Mount Myōboku.
Killer Bee used Samehada to brace himself against the falling rocks, ink seeping into his chakra membrane along the Eight-Tails' tentacles: Idiot!
This woman is rewriting spatial coordinates! The octopus tentacles on his tailed beast cloak suddenly straightened, and those seemingly comical graffiti were climbing backward along the magatama patterns on Kaguya's sleeve, like countless black centipedes gnawing at the spacetime rift.
Kakashi's mask was soaked in blood, and dark red tears of blood seeped from his Sharingan, which had been overused: Sage Art: Wood Release... So you were prepared to counter it with Yin-Yang Release all along. His gaze swept over Sasuke's newly formed Wood Release arm, and he suddenly realized that the arrangement of those Sage Art runes was exactly the same as the forbidden scroll that Obito used at Kannabi Bridge.
Nine-Lama!
Sakura, who was in Naruto's arms, suddenly let out a sharp shout. The phantom of the Vajra Chains flowing in her blue pupils made even the tailed beast's chakra tremble.
Three chakra chains bearing sealing talismans burst forth, precisely binding the Wood Release branch that was eroding Kakashi's right arm—clearly the secret technique used by Mito Uzumaki when sealing the Nine-Tails.
Sasuke's Rinnegan trembled violently the moment the chains touched the Wood Release. He grabbed Naruto by the collar and shouted, "Listen up, you loser! Only when our Indra and Ashura chakra resonate can we activate the Sage of Six Paths' backup plan!" Wood Release branches suddenly grew, pinning Naruto to the crumbling rock wall. As the Chidori Stream flowed through the branches and into the Nine-Tails' cloak, it generated blinding arcs of electricity.
But this will... Kakashi's attempt to use Kamui to transfer the branches suddenly froze. He saw that at the broken left shoulder of Sasuke, which had been shattered by the Raikage, the wood-grain texture was devouring the remaining Lightning Release chakra—this was not an ordinary Hashirama cell transplant at all.
Killer Bee suddenly wrapped the two of them with his Eight-Tails tentacles: "Teacher, have faith in the passion of youth!" The ink on his Tailed Beast Cloak suddenly boiled, and the runes of the reverse summoning array began to absorb Kaguya's scattered chakra. "I haven't finished writing my eighth rhyming verse yet!"
Naruto's fingertips dug deep into the rock wall, and gravel mixed with cold sweat dripped from his chin.
He could feel the chakra Sasuke was injecting tearing apart the tailed beast's cloak, just like the Chidori that pierced through his chest seven years ago at the Valley of the End.
But when he looked up and saw Hinata shatter the boulder falling towards Sakura with her Gentle Fist, and saw Kakashi use his last Kamui to transfer away the corrosive liquid that was about to devour Killer Bee, his boiling chakra suddenly condensed in his dantian into some kind of more ancient form.
