Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly emitted a dark purple light.

He bit his tongue and smeared his blood on the blade of the Kusanagi sword. Lightning Release chakra and Amaterasu black flames intertwined at the edge of the sword, forming a spiral.

As the sword tip pierced his left shoulder, the mutated chakra transformed into six tomoe patterns, climbing up his spine to the back of his neck—a mark of the Otsutsuki bloodline being forcibly awakened.

The shadow...is speaking...Shikamaru's pupils suddenly contracted.

He glimpsed his own shadow projected onto the ruins of the Samsung fan, making hand seals, with iron sand outlining fragmented ancient runes on the ground.

The moment the gravity intensified again, he painfully tore off his corroded ninja boots and used his toes to dip in blood to draw the final stroke of the dragon vein seal.

Killer Bee's sharkskin on its back suddenly let out a mournful cry.

Eight tentacles emerged from the crack in the Executioner's Blade and wrapped around the half of Temari's sleeve that was about to fall into the black hole.

The moment the thundercloud emblem lit up the blade, the Sand Village female ninja threw out the sealing scroll hidden in her hair bun. The yellowed pages unfolded into a star array in the void.

Now! Kakashi's bleeding Sharingan suddenly reversed into a kaleidoscope pattern.

He tore off the bandage around his right eye, revealing the transplanted Rinnegan that shone with a silvery-blue light.

The instant the Divine Might Vortex collided with the Yellow Springs Edict, the turbulent currents erupting from the spacetime rift distorted the ground beneath everyone's feet into a mirror-like surface.

Naruto sensed that Kurama's chakra was reshaping his meridians.

He saw the black flames and lightning on Sasuke's sword enter his chest, and the Gentle Fist chakra that Hinata had brought condensed into a Bagua diagram at his heart.

When the three distinct energies converged in the dantian, cracks suddenly appeared in the annihilation array formed by the Seeking the Dao Jade.

Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken! The golden-orange ball of light expanded into the shape of Yin and Yang in Naruto's palm, and the Sage Art runes flowing on its surface were mixed with the tomoe of the Rinnegan.

The moment the object was thrown, Shikamaru used his shadow to manipulate Temari's iron sand to create a Magnet Release barrier in the void, while Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles simultaneously wove the sealing chains of the Cloud and Thunder Gorge.

The gray cube in the mysterious man's palm suddenly trembled.

The White Zetsu corpses deep within the black hole exploded one after another, and the chakra released was absorbed by Sasuke's Kusanagi sword.

When Kakashi's Rinnegan resonated with Naruto's Tailed Beast Ball, everyone was shocked to discover that the patterns on the Yomijin Decree were strikingly similar to the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga clan.

So that's how it is... Hinata's Byakugan suddenly pierced through the mysterious man's cloak.

She saw the old wounds left by the soft fist pressure point technique on the other person's chest, which was clearly her father Hyuga Hiashi's unique pressure point sealing technique.

Just as Naruto's attack was about to hit, a spacetime rift behind the mysterious man suddenly produced puppet strings covered in incantations, which precisely entangled the Truth-Seeking Ball that was about to dissipate.

The gravitational turbulence reached a critical point at this moment.

The spacetime folds created by the collision between Kakashi's Kamui Dimension and the black hole threw everyone towards a cliff 300 meters away.

Sasuke's Susanoo remains transformed into a buffer net of chakra, but upon contact with the cliff face, they were stained an ominous dark red—the floating white Zetsu shells were absorbing ninjutsu energy.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the mysterious figure remained suspended in the reconstructed gravitational field.

But everyone clearly saw that one of the puppet strings wrapped around his left little finger broke off, and the falling thread turned into ashes before hitting the ground. The Shukaku crest, passed down through generations of Sunagakure, faintly appeared in the ashes.

Chapter 280 Gravitational Turbulence Reaches a New Peak

Smoke and dust condensed into a turbid vortex at the edge of the cliff, and the remains of Sasuke's Susanoo emitted a crisp sound like porcelain shattering.

Dark red chakra seeped into the cracks in the rock wall, turning the entire cliff into a strange pattern resembling that of the Gedo Mazo.

Naruto staggered and braced himself against a protruding rock at the edge of the cliff, pale golden blood seeping from the scorch marks on his palms caused by Sage Chakra.

Kurama...can it be condensed again? He roared in his mental space, but only heard the tailed beast's intermittent response.

The price for forcibly fusing the three types of chakra was that his meridians were covered with ice crystal-like cracks—frostbite caused by the collision between Gentle Fist chakra and the remnants of Amaterasu.

The mysterious figure hovered in the newly formed gravitational field, and tiny scraps of paper suddenly drifted out from under the hem of his cloak.

Hinata forced herself to activate her Byakugan and discovered that the yellowed pieces of paper were exactly the same as the star array diagram on the Sunagakure sealing scroll.

Just as she was about to speak, a metallic taste suddenly welled up in her throat, and the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga main family appeared faintly on her forehead.

"Don't move." Kakashi's Rinnegan suddenly emitted a silver-blue mist, and he formed the Tiger Seal with one hand. The remaining power of the Kamui dimension transformed into a transparent membrane that wrapped around Hinata's neck.

The gray chakra that attempted to erode the girl's meridians emitted a shrill cry like that of an infant the moment it touched the power of space and time.

Killer Bee's Samehada on his back suddenly twitched violently, and the eight-tailed tentacles uncontrollably wrapped around Temari's three-star fan.

The moment the iron sand collided with the lightning chakra, the Sand Village female ninja suddenly widened her eyes—the ashes of the severed puppet strings were reforming on her sleeve, gradually condensing into the shape of Shukaku's tail.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Boundary Technique! Temari bit her thumb and smeared the blood on the fan ribs. The iron sand that should have fallen suddenly floated into an inverted pyramid structure.

Shikamaru's shadow seized the opportunity to climb to the edge of the barrier and used the Nara clan's unique Yin Release chakra to etch an improved array of dragon vein seals onto the iron sand.

The mysterious man finally let out a hoarse, cold laugh, and slowly raised his left hand, which was shrouded in a cloak.

Suddenly, the rock beneath their feet surged like waves, and thousands of White Zetsu remains emerged from the ground, each corpse bearing the Bagua palm print left by the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist.

When these palm prints simultaneously glowed with a bluish light, the direction of gravity in the entire space began to become disordered.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly oozed black blood.

He thrust the Kusanagi sword into the rock wall with a backhand motion, and the Amaterasu black flames flowed into the earth's veins along the sword.

Within the burning cracks, a dark red moon emblem, similar to the origin dimension of Kaguya Otsutsuki, emerged. These corpses... were resonating... He gasped, wiping the blood from the corner of his eye, and discovered that his chakra was being frantically devoured by those palm prints.

Kakashi's Sharingan suddenly reversed to its three-tomoe form, and the scene of his father's suicide twenty years ago strangely overlapped with the scene before him.

He suddenly ripped off his headband, and the transplanted Rinnegan automatically released the Yomijin Decree technique—the sealing runes floating in the air, each turn of which concealed the manipulation marks of the Sand Village puppeteers.

Thunderous Eight Trigrams! Killer Bee suddenly roared, and the Eight-Tails' tentacles, wrapped in lightning chakra, slammed into the gravity-distorted node.

As the roar echoed through the canyon, everyone was startled to discover that through a tear in the mysterious man's cloak, the Hyuga clan crest headband, wrapped in puppet strings, was faintly visible.

At this moment, the gravitational turbulence reached a new peak, and Naruto felt the Nine-Tails' chakra boiling into magma in his blood vessels.

Just as he was about to form a hand seal, he discovered that the same puppet lines as those of the mysterious man appeared on his shadow.

Thirty meters away, the cliff began to collapse, and the rock waves carrying the corpse of Bai Jue were like an ancient behemoth awakening. Meanwhile, the gray cube that had been re-formed in the palm of the mysterious man was drawing the natural energy of the surrounding hundred miles into a vacuum.

Chapter 281 Let Me Be Your Eyes

The air deep in the canyon was compressed, producing a harsh, metallic scraping sound.

The gray cube floating in the mysterious man's palm was collapsing, and the vegetation within a radius of a hundred miles was visibly fading in color, withered leaves turning to dust before they even hit the ground.

The pebbles at Naruto's feet defied the laws of gravity and floated up. The Nine-Tails' chakra steamed out in molten gold on his body, but he was still unable to break free from the puppet strings in the shadow.

Natural energy... is flowing backwards! Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles suddenly stiffened, and ice crystals condensed on the surface of his tailed beast cloak.

When he turned to look at Kakashi, he saw that the other's Rinnegan was radiating a bluish-purple aura, and among the sealing runes floating in the air, the puppet manipulation symbols belonging to Sunagakure were lighting up one by one.

Hinata's Byakugan suddenly rippled, and her trembling fingers passed through the gravitational turbulence, gently covering the back of Naruto's hand that was forming hand seals.

Hinata's signature cool touch came from the boy's palm, just like the ointment she handed him during the Chunin Exams. Chakra pathways converged at the thirty-sixth acupoint... Her earlobes flushed red, but her voice remained unusually firm. Beneath her long eyelashes, her Byakugan clearly reflected the puppet threads tangled around Naruto's heart. "Please let me be your eyes."

Kakashi ripped off his sweat-soaked headband, and his transplanted Rinnegan suddenly resonated with the rock wall twenty meters away.

The dark red markings scorched by Amaterasu's black flames were now twisting into the shape of the Uchiha clan crest. Bi, do you remember the Cloud Village's Meteor Strike Technique? The Lightning Blade that condensed at his fingertips suddenly changed shape, transforming into a kunai wreathed in spacetime fluctuations, and he used a Tailed Beast Ball to bombard the center of my Kamui—

But someone needs to act as bait to keep the cube in West District 13! Killer Bee's sunglasses flashed with a cold light, and the octopus tentacles formed from the Eight-Tails' chakra slammed into the ground.

Half of a White Zetsu corpse was exposed from the collapsed rock strata, with a fragment of the Hyuga clan crest clearly embedded in its chest cavity.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly trembled like a dragon's roar.

He stared at the puppet strings in Naruto's shadow, his memory suddenly flashing back to the spiral shuriken that pierced his chest at the Valley of the End. The bottom of the barrel. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the purple skeleton of Susanoo enveloping his body. This time, it was his turn to sever the causality. Before anyone could react, his figure, carrying the Thousand Dagger Spear, had already charged towards the core of the gravity distortion.

The mysterious man's cloak suddenly expanded, and countless puppet strings burst forth from the depths of the earth.

Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, and at the critical moment, he saw the trajectory of the threads wrapped around the Dust Release particles.

He deliberately created an opening, letting the puppet strings pierce Susanoo's ribs. As crimson blood dripped down the chakra skeleton, he secretly injected Amaterasu Black Flame into the earth's vein fissures.

Now! Kakashi's Kamui Vortex and Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball erupt simultaneously.

Two forces tearing through space collided above the mysterious man's head, creating a three-meter-diameter spacetime rift in the real world.

The dark red emblems on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon began to flow in reverse, and the swallowed natural energy suddenly poured out like a flood.

Naruto felt the puppet strings around his heart suddenly tighten.

Hinata's Gentle Fist chakra surged into their clasped palms, precisely severing seven invisible knots in his chakra meridians. So you already... He looked at the girl's pale face and suddenly realized the immense pain she had endured while maintaining her Byakugan the entire time.

The Nine-Tails' chakra transformed into a golden hand that supported Hinata's swaying body, but the tailed beast cloak suddenly changed color the moment it touched a sealing rune on her back.

Sasuke's roar came from the center of the battlefield.

He stood covered in blood at the edge of the spacetime rift. The moment the Kusanagi sword plunged into the earth's veins, countless puppet strings suddenly appeared from the mysterious man's cloak.

In Kakashi's Rinnegan, the ends of the threads wrapped with Dust Release were all connected to a White Zetsu corpse deep in the canyon, bearing the Hyuga Curse Seal.

The gravitational turbulence suddenly stopped.

The gray cube in the mysterious man's palm emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass, and the oppressive atmosphere enveloping the battlefield momentarily froze.

Naruto seized the fleeting opportunity, and his Rasengan in Sage Mode, infused with the Gentle Fist chakra that Hinata had poured into it, drew a dazzling Tai Chi arc in the air.

Just as the ninjutsu was about to hit its target, he saw half of the mysterious man's face, wrapped in bandages, flash beneath his tattered cloak—the weave of those bandages was clearly a unique hemostatic technique used by the Sand Village's medical team.

Thunderous Eight Trigrams - Modified! Killer Bee's Eight-Tails tentacles suddenly changed their attack trajectory, carrying lightning chakra as they slammed heavily into the rock layer beneath everyone's feet.

Beneath the collapsed ground, thousands of puppet remains are forming some kind of ancient altar.

Kakashi's Rinnegan suddenly throbbed with pain, and the cold glint of his father's blade from twenty years ago eerily overlapped with the dark red moon in the center of the altar at this moment.

The spacetime rift began to expand uncontrollably.

Sasuke's Susanoo wings were torn open with grotesque rips, but in the instant of falling, he threw the Kusanagi sword toward the center of the altar.

The moment the sword pierced the dark red moon, a kind of inhuman wail echoed throughout the canyon, and the White Zetsu corpses parasitizing the rock strata simultaneously opened their Rinnegan.

Beware of the backlash from natural energy! Kakashi's warning was drowned out by a storm of chakra.

Naruto hugged the unconscious Hinata tightly and retreated rapidly, his nine tails forming a defensive barrier behind him.

When he caught a glimpse of the mysterious man's tattered headband out of the corner of his eye, a terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in his mind—the edges of the Hyuga clan crest, which was wrapped in puppet strings, clearly bore traces of wind erosion, a feature specially made by Sunagakure.

Just before the gravitational turbulence swept across the battlefield once more, Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly reflected the mysterious man's eerie smile.

The curve of that smile reminded him of someone he should have been buried in the Fourth Shinobi World War, and at that moment, the dark red moon in the center of the altar was slowly opening its nine tomoe Rinnegan.

Chapter 282 The Seal is Complete

When Sasuke's Kusanagi sword was embedded in the surface of the dark red moon, the blade suddenly corroded into honeycomb-like holes.

Thick black liquid seeped from the white bones he crushed as he retreated, and the puppet strings that should have been burned by Amaterasu were rewoven into a net on the surface of the altar.

Don't even think about escaping! Naruto coughed up blood and leaped into the air, the Sage Mask shattering into light spots on his right cheek.

His shadow clones had been crushed by gravity three minutes earlier. The Rasengan he forcibly condensed, carrying the lingering aura of Hinata's Gentle Fist in her palm, tore open a golden gap in the collapsing gravitational field.

The bandages under the mysterious man's cloak suddenly broke, revealing half of a pale face covered with Sand Concealment seal runes.

His left hand remained in a hand seal position, while his right hand eerily pierced through a spatial rift, reaching straight for Naruto's left hand, which was still tightly clutching Naruto's clothes even in his unconscious state. The pure Byakugan of the Hyuga main family... a hoarse voice accompanied by the sound of grinding metal, indeed more delicious than a caged bird.

Kakashi's Kamui vortex suddenly shifted by fifteen degrees.

He clutched his bleeding Rinnegan and caught a glimpse of the Sunagakure puppet emblem emerging from the bottom of the altar—those chakra threads wrapped with stardust fragments perfectly matched the chakra fluctuations Obito had when he controlled the Nine-Tails twenty years ago.

Cold sweat dripped down his headband as he abruptly flung out three kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique symbol: Shikamaru!

Three points in the Kun position!

Amidst the flying debris, the Nara clan's shadow magic suddenly wrapped around the mysterious man's ankle.

But the shadows, which should have been frozen, twisted like living things. Shikamaru bit his tongue to stay awake and discovered that his chakra was flowing backward along the puppet strings into the altar. These strings were devouring... Before he could finish speaking, he was blown away by Temari's Three-Star Fan, and the puppet strings severed by the wind blade exploded into purple poisonous mist in mid-air.

Thunderous Eight Trigrams - Sky Break! Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles, wrapped in lightning chakra, slammed into the ground.

Beneath the collapsed rock strata, thousands of puppet limbs were being reassembled, and the head of a Red Sand Scorpion puppet with the character for scorpion engraved on it suddenly opened its Rinnegan.

As the shockwave ripped Sasuke's Susanoo armor away, a glimpse of a mysterious figure flashed through the gaps in his bandages in the reflection of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan—below which was clearly the Caged Bird Seal unique to the Hyuga branch family.

Naruto's Rasengan finally touched the gray cube.

The moment the two forces collided, the Gentle Fist chakra Hinata had left in his meridians suddenly went berserk, tearing seven bloody gashes in his right arm.

The excruciating pain actually brought him to his senses, and his nine tails formed a four-element seal formation behind him: Kakashi-sensei!

It's now!
