Naruto stared blankly at the wisps of hair still smoking beside his ear, when Kurama's chakra suddenly went berserk.
The tailed beast cloak transformed into sharp claws and slammed towards Sasuke, but was pierced in mid-air by the black rods of Yin-Yang Release: "I told you it wasn't intentional!" His roar shook the salt crystals off the cave ceiling, and vertical lines of a beast appeared in his azure eyes.
"Enough!" Hinata's voice was as soft as falling snow, yet it instantly froze the rampaging chakra.
Her snow-white toes trod across the prophetic text, and the venom wailed as it touched the chakra membrane.
While everyone else was frozen in place by the buzzing of their headbands, she was bathed in the crimson light of the runes, and a rhombus-shaped mark, a modified version of the Caged Bird Seal, appeared on her forehead.
"Don't come any closer!" Naruto roared, trying to stop them, but the Heart Chains pulled him to his knees.
Hinata's fingers had already touched the edge of the spinning black hole, and her long, flowing hair, illuminated by the runes, resembled a burning galaxy.
Shockingly, the rampaging energy flow suddenly became docile, forming chakra vortexes along the pressure points on her palms.
Kakashi's Sharingan caught a subtle change: "Those runes... are mimicking the Hyuga clan's pressure point system!" The moonlight surging from the Kamui spatial rift suddenly turned, condensing into a huge Tenseigan phantom behind Hinata.
The once turbulent black hole began to pulsate regularly, like an embryo learning to have a heartbeat.
But stability is only superficial.
Chapter 487 Reverse Psychic Communication
As Hinata's chakra threads wove into a net, the prophetic text beneath everyone's feet suddenly oozed an ink-like substance.
Shikamaru's shadow was corroded and chipped. He stared at the fading "未" and muttered to himself, "Sunagakure's delayed neurotoxin... We only have three minutes left."
The suspended red crane sand suddenly let out a mournful cry, and Temari discovered that the metal frame of the Samsung fan was softening.
Even more terrifying is Killer Bee's eight-tailed tattoo—the peeled-off parts reveal eerie blue characters beneath his skin, identical to the runes on the surface of a black hole.
"Guard your head!" Kakashi suddenly shouted.
Fine cracks appeared on the surface of all the metal headbands, and the direction of the cracks was completely synchronized with the chakra net in Hinata's palm.
As the thirteenth crack pierced through the Leaf Village symbol, a clicking sound, similar to bone growth, came from the depths of the black hole.
The sound of cracks spreading across the headband resonated eerily with the bone-sounding echoes deep within the black hole. Hinata's chakra net flickered, filtering the crimson light of the runes into fine stardust.
Kakashi noticed the ice crystals condensing on the girl's eyelashes—they weren't seawater crystals, but rather chakra entities emanating from the depths of her pupils.
"The Hyuga clan's secret vault..." Shikamaru suddenly used his shadow to roll up the faded prophetic text, and the ink outlined a tattered scroll pattern on the sand. "Three years ago, when Sunagakure and Konoha jointly inventoried their spoils, there was a bamboo scroll soaked in blood..." His fingertips, stained with venom, suddenly trembled. In the scroll pattern formed from sand and gold, a tattered clan crest overlapped with the mark on Hinata's forehead.
Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles suddenly twitched and retracted into his skin, while dark blue characters spelled out half a verse on his collarbone.
"Idiot! This isn't an ordinary curse mark!" His pupils, visible through the cracks in his sunglasses, contracted sharply. "On the tortoise shell divination stone in Cloud Thunder Gorge... Ugh!" The words he was about to finish turned into a muffled groan, and the characters beneath his skin burrowed into his muscle texture like living snakes.
Naruto struggled to get up, but the Heart Chains pinned him to the salt crystal ground.
He saw a pale blue chakra seeping from Hinata's fluttering clothes, a color that reminded him of Neji's Byakugan going berserk during the Chunin Exams.
But at this moment, Hinata seemed to be being watched by some higher being, and even the phantom of the Tenseigan humbly lowered its eyelids.
“Hyuga… Tennin…” Temari’s three-star fan suddenly turned the page automatically, and the ancient characters spelled out by the red crane sand made her voice tighten, “The surname of the priestess who served the Sage of Six Paths in legend!” The sand characters suddenly vaporized when they touched Hinata’s scattered hair, turning into seven burning origami cranes that disappeared into the black hole.
Kakashi's Kamui dimension suddenly trembled violently, and his Sharingan, which was bleeding, finally saw the truth—those flashing runes were not words at all, but countless miniature Caged Bird Seals arranged in a matrix.
As the seventh origami crane disappeared into the depths of the black hole, Hinata's bewildered pupils suddenly reflected the pattern of the six-tomoe jade.
"Don't listen to that voice!" Sasuke's Tenma Spear suddenly pierced his left shoulder, the excruciating pain temporarily freeing him from the control of his headband's buzzing. "She's resonating with... hiccup... the chakra of the Otsutsuki..." The bluish-gray of the Rinnegan had spread to his neck, and the cold air he exhaled while speaking froze into ice flowers on the ground.
Hinata's fingertips still lingered on the edge of the black hole, and the ancient syllables that spilled from her lips caused moonlight flowers to bloom on the salt crystal ground.
The translucent flowers opened and closed in rhythm with the incantation, each petal engraved with the mark of a caged bird rotating in the opposite direction.
Naruto discovered that his Tailed Beast Chakra was being devoured by the flower, and the dew condensed in the flower's stamen was clearly Tenseigan Chakra of extremely high purity.
"Reverse Summoning!" Shikamaru suddenly slashed his palm with a kunai, and drops of blood fell onto the scroll depicted by the shadow. "Those runes are using her body to locate the coordinates of spacetime!" The prophetic text suddenly burned at his feet, and the charred "Chen" character oozed amber liquid, which resonated with the chakra crystal that slid down Hinata's eye.
Just as Kakashi was about to unleash Kamui, cracks suddenly appeared on his forehead protector and onto his cheek.
In the midst of the tearing pain, he saw the white chrysanthemums he had planted in front of the memorial stone twenty years ago—that bunch of long-withered flowers blooming in his memory, each petal bearing the curse of the caged bird.
When he forcibly severed this terrifying association, he discovered that the runes on the surface of the black hole had all been stained with the indigo color of the Hyuga clan.
Hinata's incantation suddenly rose in pitch, and the floating moonflower simultaneously turned towards Naruto.
Kurama's roar exploded in the mental space, but Naruto saw something even more terrifying through the rampaging chakra—mini Tenseigan appeared in the core of each flower, and the focus of all the pupils was on the reverse-flowing chains at his heart.
As the first moonflower began to sing its harmony, indigo blood suddenly seeped from the diamond-shaped mark on Hinata's forehead.
The blood droplets did not fall, but instead flowed upstream along the matrix of runes, staining the entire black hole with the colors of the murals in the Hyuga Shrine.
The sound of the cracks spreading on the headbands reached its peak at this moment, and the chakra meridians on the back of everyone's necks simultaneously lit up with the cursed seal patterns of the Caged Bird Seal—including the Hyuga clan members who had already released the cursed seal.
Chapter 488 The Caged Bird
The harmony of the Moonflower solidified into a tangible scale in the void. Kakashi covered his right eye, which was cracked into a spider web, and the blood beads seeping from between his fingers floated and outlined the clan crest of Hamura Otsutsuki.
He stumbled and crashed into the petrified Nine-Tails chakra crystals. The crystals, which should have been indestructible, suddenly peeled away, revealing a bronze scroll inside. Written in blood, it was clearly the unfinished sealing formula from when the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails twenty years ago.
This is not a simple illusion! The moment Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique touched the rotating Moonflower, the gravity of the entire space suddenly reversed.
The hurricane stirred up by the Temari Sanshinsengumi fan crashed into the distorted spacetime wall, and the iron sand actually solidified into the swastika window lattice unique to the Hyuga Ancestral Shrine under the reaction force.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and discovered that each grain of iron sand was reflecting scenes from different times and spaces: the Sage of Six Paths cleaving the blood moon with his staff, Princess Kaguya's Byakugan reflecting the burning chakra fruit, and the Tenseigan floating on the far side of the moon opening in a pool of blood belonging to Hamura's descendants...
The reverse-flowing chain at Naruto's heart suddenly snapped, and Kurama's roar materialized into crimson runes that coiled around his entire body. "Idiot, cut off visual sharing!" The tailed beast's warning was a beat too late; Naruto's Rinnegan uncontrollably focused on the nearest moonflower's core—what appeared in his mini-Reincarnation Eye was none other than the image of Neji dying, corrupted by the cursed seal.
He saw his Sage Chakra transform into a blade piercing Neji's heart in the flashback image, while in reality, Hinata pressed her blood-stained fingertips against his chest.
Naruto-kun... please believe... Hinata's diamond-shaped mark has spread to her collarbone, and the matrix drawn in the void by her indigo blood has suddenly materialized into the Death Gate Formation of the Eight Gates.
Just as Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles touched the edge of the array, the entire space suddenly resounded with the sound of Kagura bells from the Hamura Festival a thousand years ago.
Amidst the sonic tremors, Sasuke's Amaterasu Fire flowed uncontrollably along Shikamaru's shadow, burning the bronze scroll floating behind Kakashi into the three ancient characters "Caged Bird" charred black.
"So that's how it is!" Kakashi suddenly ripped off his tattered headband, revealing his right eye, which was gleaming with moonlight.
He wrote the unfinished sealing formula of the Fourth Hokage in the void, his blood staining the scroll. Suddenly, the scorching bronze scroll burst forth with the Flying Thunder God seal, transcending time and space. These runes are spacetime coordinates! His voice became ethereal amidst multiple echoes. Kaguya's resurrection ritual required the simultaneous sacrifice of the nine tailed beasts and the three great dojutsu, and where we are now—
A thunderous cracking sound interrupted the conversation.
All the Moonflowers simultaneously emitted the golden light of the Tenseigan, and a chakra network diagram covering the entire ninja world suddenly appeared on the ground beneath everyone's feet.
At the intersection of countless veins, the phantom of Princess Kaguya, pierced by eight chains, is devouring the light spheres representing the five great nations.
Hinata's incantation suddenly switched to the secret words taught by Elder Hyuga before his death, and each of the snow-white petals falling from her hair displayed a variant of the Caged Bird Seal.
Kurama, lend me your power! Naruto's Truth-Seeking Balls suddenly split into nine, each displaying the chakra attributes of a different ally.
Sasuke's Susanoo arrows were wrapped with Killer Bee's Lightning Release and Temari's Wind Release chakra, which transformed into arrow feathers. Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique, enhanced by Kakashi's Kamui, condensed into a spacetime anchor point.
The moment the arrow left the bowstring, the entire rune matrix of space suddenly collapsed into a nebula vortex in Hinata Hyuga's pupils.
Gentle Fist Technique: Eighty Gods Void Strike! Hinata's roar carried unprecedented majesty. Her palm strike, imbued with the Tenseigan energy of all the Moonflowers, etched the Caged Bird Seal in reverse on the surface of Naruto's Tailed Beast Ball.
The moment the two forces collided, the cursed seal patterns on the back of everyone's necks suddenly came to life and spread all over their bodies, but when they touched Naruto's heart, they were twisted into indigo dust by the reverse-flowing chains.
Kaguya's phantom shrieked in a world beyond this dimension amidst the dust of light, and a chilling truth flashed through the shattered images: the giant Tenseigan floating on the far side of the moon, each core imprisoning the spirits of the Hyuga branch family; deep within the crater where the First Hokage planted the God Tree, White Zetsu spores were devouring the Hyuga clan members who had broken the Caged Bird Seal throughout history...
Chapter 489 Hero, would you like to take a picture together?
Now! Kakashi pressed his bleeding right eye onto the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique seal, and the gravitational waves generated by the distortion of spacetime twisted everyone's chakra into a spiral of rainbow light.
Naruto sensed Kurama's chakra and Sasuke's Indra power forming a closed loop of Yin-Yang Release within his body, while Hinata's Tenseigan energy acted like a key, unlocking a shackle that had been sealed for a thousand years.
The instant the rainbow light pierced through Kaguya's phantom image, all the moonflowers suddenly turned around and began to devour each other.
Amidst the deafening roar of collapsing space, Shikamaru saw his shadow projected onto the ground, depicting the scene of the Sage of Six Paths sealing his mother, while the undried bloodstains on Temari's Three Star Fan outlined the Shukaku altar sleeping beneath Sunagakure.
As the darkness receded like the tide, Naruto discovered that the patterns on his Sage Mode had transformed into flowing curse marks.
He turned to ask Hinata, but saw that the diamond-shaped mark on the girl's forehead was oozing blood-red starlight, and the distant place where that starlight was drifting was the moon that was beginning to crumble at that moment.
Shattered moonlight petals fluttered down as Naruto knelt on a cracked bronze scroll, his crimson cloak of Nine-Tails chakra peeling away piece by piece.
The burning sensation from when Hinata injected the Tenseigan energy still lingered on the back of his hand; that temperature was like an inextinguishable flame, tearing at his meridians in response to the gift from the Sage of Six Paths.
Did she succeed? Temari used her three-star fan to prop up her swaying body; the sand-iron window frame was fading.
When she caught a glimpse of Shikamaru's right hand, burned by the lingering flames of Amaterasu, her pupils contracted sharply—the charred marks were exactly like those on the caged bird on the bronze scroll.
A slight tremor came from Kakashi's Kamui dimension, and the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Kunai was emitting a bright blue fluorescence from the spacetime rift.
His bloodstained fingertips traced his right eye socket, where the once-depleted Mangekyou Sharingan reflected the massive Tenseigan matrix collapsing on the moon's surface. More than just success, he gazed at the starlight fragments falling from his palm; we had broken shackles older than those of a caged bird.
Hinata's cough interrupted the conversation.
She huddled in the shadow of the Nine-Tails' chakra crystal, the snow-white petals in her hair now completely dyed indigo.
When Naruto rushed over, still warm from the Tailed Beast Cloak, the girl hurriedly hid her bleeding palms in her sleeve, forgetting that the diamond-shaped mark on her collarbone was still glowing with starlight.
Hinata! Naruto's hand, which was supporting her, was suspended in mid-air.
He saw the starlight fragments rising up the girl's pale neck, converging on her forehead to form the pale gold lines of the Tenseigan.
Twenty paces away, Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and the purple arrow of Susanoo condensed on its own, the tip of the arrow pointing straight at Hinata's heart.
Killer Bee's Lightning Blade swiftly severed the killing intent. Calm down, Indra! The Eight-Tails' tentacles coiled around Sasuke's wrist, and that girl's eyes...reek of Kaguya?
Shikamaru's shadow suddenly grew several times larger, weaving a spider web amidst the mess on the ground.
He stared at the fading moonlight flower at Kakashi's feet, then suddenly grabbed Naruto's headband: "Look closely—this is not ordinary chakra at all!" On the inside of the torn fabric, the Hyuga main family's swastika was devouring the Nine-Tails' crimson.
Cheers erupted from the edge of the ruins.
The puppet army of Sunagakure broke through the spatial turbulence, but Temari's three-star fan remained unreleased.
As the first rays of dawn pierced the clouds, she saw Gaara's Eye of Sand hovering in the sky, while the sand that should have been protecting Sunagakure was now reflecting the crimson runes on the far side of the moon.
"Would you like to take a picture with me, hero?" Naruto stumbled as the medical team swarmed in, Kurama's sneer echoing in his consciousness.
He forced a signature smile, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Kakashi walking alone toward the cliff.
The fourth generation's Flying Thunder God Kunai let out a mournful cry in the teacher's palm, as if responding to some kind of resonant tremor deep within the moon.
As dusk settled, Hinata finally broke free from the medical ninja's protection.
She found Naruto amidst the blood-stained scrolls. The boy lay face up on a shattered Truth-Seeking Ball, the Sage Mode eyeshadow still lingering. That… she clutched the indigo bloodstain on her sleeve. The remaining Tenseigan energy from the Moonlight Flower surged wildly through her meridians. Did Naruto-kun see that?
A comet-like streak of light ripped through the night sky.
The two looked up at the same time.
Naruto unconsciously pressed his right hand against his heart, where the remaining Reverse Flow Chains suddenly became hot.
Hinata's Byakugan activated automatically, and she saw that the band of light behind the clouds was not a celestial body at all—it was tens of thousands of Caged Bird Seals, weaving a cage that covered the entire continent under the starry sky.
Kakashi's footsteps came from the edge of the cliff, and the blood beads seeping from under his headband floated into the Flying Thunder God Technique.
When the first starlight fell into the Kamui space, all the sensory ninjas heard a crisp cracking sound, similar to the Byakugan resonance, coming from the far side of the moon.
Chapter 490 Enough to blow ten of you into fireworks
As dusk swallowed the last rays of the sunset, comet-like streaks of light still lingered in the night sky.
Naruto stared at the blood-soaked bandage on his palm. The dull pain from Kurama's chakra surging through his meridians had not yet subsided, but the lingering scent of moonflower on Hinata's fingertips suddenly cleared his muddled thoughts.
This is definitely not a natural phenomenon. Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly emitted a clear hum, and purple lightning climbed along the hilt to his bandaged right arm. "Uzumaki-tou, listen carefully"—he deliberately used the nickname from when they were children to cut off Naruto's impending passionate declaration. Something that could disable Kakashi-sensei's Flying Thunder God Technique was enough to blast ten of you into fireworks.
Killer Bee's sunglasses reflected distorted starlight, and the Eight-Tails' tentacles writhed uneasily behind him: "But Hachi says this stuff smells like Ten-Tails chakra stewed with toad oil~ Yay!" The rapping stopped abruptly, and he suddenly pressed his right shoulder, which was convulsing violently, as the Tailed Beast Cloak exploded uncontrollably, splintering three bone spurs.
Kakashi's fingertips brushed against the blood-stained headband, the rift in the Kamui dimension was devouring the Flying Thunder God mark on the Fourth Hokage's kunai.
As he turned, a faint, bloodshot laugh escaped from beneath his mask: "Back when Obito was trapped under the boulder, I also thought exploring meteorite craters was a waste of time." The kaleidoscope pattern that swirled in his single eye suddenly went upside down, twisting the starlight falling from the sky into spiraling fragments of light.
Naruto swallowed all his rebuttals as his Adam's apple bobbed.
He could feel the reverse psychic contract burning hot in the area of his heart, and the stone statues of Mount Myōboku were sending out warning tremors deep within his consciousness.
But when Hinata secretly injected the Tenseigan chakra into his bleeding palm, and when Shikamaru used the Shadow Binding Technique to roll up the tattered scroll containing the Six Paths Sage's Stele, a kind of intense heat, more violent than Kurama's, suddenly exploded in his chest.
I said— He scratched the back of his head, his blond hair shattering the moonlight, his golden eyeshadow in Sage Mode shining brightly under the starry sky. If you miss the chance to save the world, Sasuke, you'll never beat me in this lifetime!
The Sand Village's specially crafted chakra camel left a winding trail of light on the sand dunes.
When Temari's three-star fan cleaved through the suddenly solidified air wall, everyone finally saw the true form of the so-called comet—thousands of Caged Bird Seals were weaving a cage in the sky, and the edges of each rune reflected the edges of the Hyuga clan crest.
Hinata's Tenseigan uncontrollably emitted a blue light, and she saw that each cursed seal core contained a blurry human figure, and the branch family souls that had been devoured by the Caged Bird were wailing in the band of light.
