Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

The crystals on the chests of the twelve terracotta figures burst open simultaneously, and the flying fragments condensed into chains of chakra in mid-air.

He watched helplessly as three of the chains pierced through Hinata's Bagua Palm defense, only to be burned to ashes by Sasuke's Amaterasu Black Flame just as they were about to touch the girl's throat.

Thirty degrees to the northwest! Shikamaru's shadow suddenly expanded into a net-like shape, pulling Temari's staggering figure back to safety.

The Shukaku incantation flowing on the Sand Village female ninja's three-star fan has now completely transformed into a death god mask with a blue face and fangs. When she waves the fan and stirs up a sandstorm, the sand carried by the wind actually condenses into the shape of a skull in mid-air.

The moment the twenty-three figures in black robes emerged from the shadows of the pillar of light, a decaying, stagnant atmosphere, like that of a frozen swamp, filled the air.

Their masks were not the usual ANBU style, but rather Rinnegan patterns carved from pale bone, with dark red chakra flowing in every groove.

"Uchiha brat, don't use Lightning Release!" Killer Bee suddenly swung Samehada to block Sasuke's hand seals, and the tentacles formed from the Eight-Tails' chakra shredded the three bone shuriken into powder.

When those fragments landed, countless fleshy sprouts emerged, which quickly swelled into thorny vines.

Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly contracted—in the foreseen future fragment, his Chidori Spear had indeed been transferred to Hinata's location by some kind of space-time ninjutsu.

Naruto's situation is even worse.

The formation of the five black-robed ninjas was like a living swamp. Every time he condensed a Rasengan and charged forward, the sand beneath his feet would collapse into a sticky chakra swamp.

The Nine-Tails roared furiously in the consciousness space: Idiot!

They are using demonic arts to extract natural energy!

"Uncle, three o'clock!" Naruto suddenly condensed the Nine-Tails' chakra into a crimson claw, tearing apart the bone chains that were about to wrap around Killer Bee's ankles.

As the two gasped for breath back to back, they discovered that the black-robed ninjas' damaged limbs were rapidly regenerating by absorbing the energy from the surrounding pillars of light.

At the severed neck of an enemy beheaded by Killer Bee, a spine wrapped in runes was clearly visible.

Temari's scream came from the southeast corner.

Three kunai engraved with the Impure World Reincarnation incantation pierced her left shoulder, and instead of blood, fine sand gushed from the wound. "Don't use chakra to stop the bleeding!" Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword suddenly slashed horizontally, severing the bone spur that was eroding Temari's wound at the root.

The rogue ninja's golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly: "Little girl from Sunagakure, isn't the Grim Reaper mask on your three-star fan the best antidote?"

Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique underwent an astonishing transformation at this moment.

The originally straight lines of shadow suddenly split into tree-like veins, temporarily trapping the six black-robed ninjas in the interwoven grid.

The bulging veins on his forehead showed the pain of overloaded computing: their attack pattern... was not prediction... but a reversal of cause and effect!

These words struck Sasuke like a thunderclap.

His kaleidoscope spun wildly, and finally, during one of his clashes with the Bone-Faced Ninja's blades, he saw the space-time runes flashing in the other's pupils.

Those seemingly predictive actions are actually the pre-emptive manifestation of the outcome of the attack on the attack trajectory.

Cold sweat soaked his back—this was not ninjutsu at all, but rather a touch of some kind of law-based power.

Kurama, lend me more chakra! Naruto's golden cloak suddenly turned dark red, and the tomoe patterns of the Sage of Six Paths appeared on his chest.

However, when he slammed the Tailed Beast Ball towards the core of the black-robed formation, the destructive energy vanished like a stone falling into a deep pool at the intersection of the thirteen pillars of light.

Even more terrifying is that the consumed chakra did not return to nature at all; instead, it condensed into a new bone-masked ninja within the black pillar of light.

Kakashi's Kamui dimension suddenly trembled violently.

The suspended, rusty kunai began to rotate in reverse, tearing fine black cracks into the surrounding spacetime.

He gazed at the Uchiha clan crest faintly appearing on the tip of the kunai, and suddenly recalled Obito's dying words, swallowed by the turbulent flow of time: "When the number thirteen reappears..."

In the center of the sealing array, which was on the verge of collapse, the clasped-hands silhouette within the black pillar of light opened its eyes.

Those were eyes made of pure dark matter, and what flowed in the pupils was neither the Rinnegan nor the Tenseigan, but a star map arranged by the chakra crystals of the twelve tailed beasts.

The moment He raised His right index finger, all the bone-faced ninjas simultaneously stopped attacking.

The air solidified into a gel at that moment.

Naruto saw Kurama curl up into a cub form in his consciousness space, its chakra cloak fading away uncontrollably.

Sasuke's Amaterasu Black Flame suddenly changed direction just before it touched the enemy, burning the clothes on his right arm to ashes.

The most bizarre thing is Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique—the crisscrossing shadow lines are gradually twisting into the clan crest of Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the sinister smile of the Shinigami mask appears at each node of the crest.

Orochimaru's lips suddenly curled into a dangerous smile.

He licked the bone fragments that had splattered on his lips, his vertical pupils reflecting the gradually clearer figure in the black beam of light: "Finally, I've waited for you... Mother's final masterpiece..."

Chapter 498 I'll lend you all the possibilities!

Hinata's fingertips dug deep into her palm, and the veins bulging in her Byakugan almost pierced her skin.

Those chakra dots that were flashing wildly in the 360-degree field of vision suddenly exhibited a strange synchronized rhythm at a certain moment.

As the fifth black-robed ninja completed the formation change, she finally caught the fleeting opening—the chakra vortex on the left shoulder of all the bone-faced ninjas would pause counterclockwise for 0.3 seconds during the formation change.

"Naruto-kun!" The girl's voice, shrouded in chakra, pierced the roar of the battlefield, reaching their left shoulder!

Chakra nodes during the formation change! Fragments of her shattered headband swayed in front of her forehead, and beads of blood slid down her nose and into the corner of her mouth, but made the Byakugan's vision even clearer.

The twelve bone-masked ninjas who were tightening their encirclement transformed into twelve pulsating chakra constellations in her eyes.

Naruto's azure pupils suddenly contracted.

The Nine-Tails' negative emotions were still churning in his consciousness, but the moment Hinata's voice pierced through the crimson mist, he seemed to see the girl's slender back as she stood in front of him during the Chunin Exams when he was fifteen. "Uncle Bee!" He turned and condensed the Nine-Tails' chakra into crimson chains, twisting them into a spiral with Killer Bee's Eight-Tails tentacles, in coordination with Kakashi-sensei's Kamui at the three o'clock position!

Kakashi's Kamui Sharingan was still bleeding, but when he saw the chakra mark lighting up on Naruto's fingertip, he immediately threw the rusty kunai into the air.

The moment the spacetime rift bloomed at the node on the left shoulder of the Bone Ninja, Sasuke's Chidori Spear and Temari's Kamaitachi Technique arrived simultaneously.

The torn chakra vortex made a cracking sound like shattering glass, and the regeneration speed of the five black-robed ninjas suddenly slowed down tenfold.

Sunagakure's Ninja Art: Crescent Moon Dance! Temari's three-star fan suddenly split into twelve crescent-shaped wind blades, each of which was precisely embedded into the array eye calculated by Shikamaru.

As the storm carrying the runes of the Grim Reaper's mask swept past, Orochimaru suddenly stretched out his neck and bit a bone-masked ninja who was regenerating, and the sealing runes on the Kusanagi sword lit up with an eerie purple light.

Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton shattered in the final blow.

As he knelt on one knee, panting, he saw his shadow on the ground strangely flowing towards the sealing array.

The defeated black-robed ninjas did not dissipate, but instead transformed into a viscous black fluid that seeped into the cracks in the ground, converging at the intersection of the thirteen pillars of light to form an ever-expanding sphere of dark matter.

Watch out! Hinata's Gentle Fist suddenly shattered the bone spurs that rose from Naruto's back.

In her Byakugan vision, the black pillar of light in the center of the sealing array was devouring the surrounding light, and even the golden glow of the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak was beginning to dim.

As the last bone-faced ninja evaporated in Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball, everyone simultaneously heard the sound of sticky water droplets.

The sound came from the black tide that gradually rose beneath everyone's feet.

The veins remaining from Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique were being stained black, and the Shinigami mask on Temari's Three Star Fan suddenly oozed crimson blood tears.

Even more terrifying is that the Nine-Tails inside Naruto is now curled up in the form of a young fox in his consciousness space, and the transmission of chakra has become intermittent.

Something's wrong... Kakashi's Kamui Sharingan suddenly closed automatically, and the liquid flowing from the corner of his eye was no longer blood but black mucus. These weren't physical enemies at all, but rather the manifestation of some kind of concept...

His words were interrupted by the sound of bells ringing from within the sealing array.

The thirteen beams of light simultaneously twisted into the cuneiform script unique to the Otsutsuki clan, and countless pained faces appeared on the surface of the black tide.

When Naruto tried to sense his comrades' locations using chakra, he suddenly discovered that everyone's chakra fluctuations had a 0.5-second delay—as if some entity was synchronously copying their battle data.

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted violently.

His fingertips, streaked with bone fragments, lightly touched the black tide, his skin aging twenty years in an instant, only to return to its original state the next second. So that's how it is... The scientist's rebellious tongue swept across his bloodstained lips; it wasn't a creation of chakra, but of time itself...

The unfinished words were swallowed up by the suddenly collapsing space.

The sand beneath their feet transformed into a swirling black vortex, and thirteen broken terracotta figures slowly rose from the ground.

When Naruto reached out to grab the staggering Hinata, he found his outstretched arm turning transparent at a visible speed—as if someone were erasing him from the world bit by bit with an eraser.

At the deepest part of the sealing array, the eyes made of dark matter suddenly blinked a second time.

The twelve tailed beast chakra crystals began to spin wildly along the star map trajectory, and a silhouette darker than the night was stretching its limbs at the boundary between light and shadow.

Asphalt-like viscous liquid seeped from the cracks in the thirteen terracotta figures. When Sasuke's Kusanagi sword cleaved through the third terracotta figure, a vortex-like ripple of spacetime suddenly exploded above everyone's heads.

The dark matter-formed eyeballs rotated and split into twelve pupils. Hinata's Byakugan suddenly turned bloodshot—reflected in those pupils was the horrific scene of the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha twelve years ago.

Avoid eye contact! Orochimaru's neck was already etched with wrinkles as he flung the scroll; the sealing talisman turned to ashes the instant it touched the dark tide. These illusions would devour the concept of time...

Before the words were even finished, the figure that stepped out from the black vortex caused Killer Bee's Eight-Tails Chakra Cloak to suddenly boil.

Dark purple patterns flowed across the man's pale skin. When he raised his hand to brush away the silver hair that reached his waist, the starlight of the entire desert seemed to be sucked into the dark matter wheel floating behind him.

Kurama's vessel? The Dark Messenger lightly tapped the void with his fingertips, and Naruto's newly formed Rasengan suddenly spun in reverse, like an ant whose flow of time was imperceptible. As he spoke, the dilapidated walls of Sunagakure collapsed and reformed behind everyone in sync. When Kakashi's Lightning Blade pierced his chest, the blood that splattered was that of Obito, who had died at Kannabi Bridge twenty years ago.

Naruto staggered and fell to his knees, while Kurama let out a painful roar in the space of consciousness.

He saw the image of his mother Kushina giving birth appear in his transparent palm, while the Dark Messenger walked over by stepping on the folds of space and time, each step causing Sasuke's Susanoo armor to peel away into fine sand.

"You're the worst of the worst!" Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly erupted with purple flames, and Amaterasu's fire burned a patch of pure land along the time rift. "When you convinced me back then, you never said you wanted to be a deserter!" The Kusanagi sword he slashed down was wrapped with the afterimage of the Sage of Six Paths' Truth-Seeking Balls, but it shattered into twelve fragments of memories from different times and spaces when it touched the Dark Wheel.

Hinata's Gentle Fist chakra suddenly pierced through the spatial turbulence.

When she risked her right eye exploding to activate the Byakugan secret technique, she finally saw that the dark matter patterns were actually composed of countless Narutos at this moment—the seven-year-old Naruto eating ramen, the twelve-year-old Naruto who was defeated by Neji during the Chunin Exams, the sixteen-year-old Naruto who unleashed his chakra during his battle with Pain... Every moment was being synchronously copied by the Dark Roulette.

Naruto-kun...you across all timelines...her coughing up blood as she grabbed Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique was all part of his weapon...

Orochimaru suddenly burst into maniacal laughter and tore open his own arm, revealing the Ryuchi Cave reverse scale embedded inside.

As his Impure World Reincarnation technique dragged the remains of a certain Pain from a parallel universe, the wheel behind the Dark Messenger finally faltered for 0.3 seconds. Just as expected! This mad scientist licked the wound torn open by the spacetime turbulence, "You exist simultaneously at all time anchor points, so..."

So as long as you create a time paradox, you can disrupt synchronization! Killer Bee's Eight-Tails tentacles suddenly coil up twelve spacetime afterimages of Naruto, and the rap rhythm hides the Cloud Village's secret spacetime lightning release. Little Naruto, I'll lend you all your possibilities!

As Naruto watched as more than twenty versions of himself at different ages emerged from time and space, he suddenly remembered Jiraiya's dying words.

The moment the Nine-Tails' chakra became quantumly entangled with the dark matter wheel, he created two thousand shadow clones that simultaneously formed hand seals—but not the familiar Rasengan.

Sasuke! He bit his lip with his bloodied teeth and used that move!

The Rinnegan of the Uchiha descendant suddenly reflected the patterns of the Six Paths Staff.

As the purple lightning of Indra's Arrow coiled around the Tailed Beast Balls in the palms of each shadow clone, twelve chakra crystals suddenly formed a fragmented Six Paths Sage Mode above the Dark Messenger's head.

At this moment, time and space broke apart, and everyone saw a white-haired figure wielding a sword at the dark roulette wheel at the end of time.

"A mere three-dimensional being..." The Dark Messenger's cold laugh suddenly twisted, and a vast, turbulent flow of spacetime, as large as a starry sea, surged from the crack that appeared on his chest.

But when he tried to reassemble the dark matter wheel, he discovered that each of Naruto's shadow clones was running chakra in reverse on a different timeline.

Taking advantage of the moment, Shikamaru's shadow entangled the space-time marker on his left hand, while Temari's fan blade swirled up the dragon vein crystal buried beneath Sunagakure. Now! Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan, dripping with blood tears, channeled the power of Kamui into the space-time rift.

The moment the Dark Messenger's body underwent quantum collapse, Naruto saw a boy with a face similar to his smiling deep within the roulette wheel.

But before he could see clearly, Orochimaru suddenly used a time barrier composed of snakes to cover the entire battlefield, and a sealing technique from the Warring States period was growing wildly on the surface of dark matter.

It wasn't over yet... A deafening roar, like the collapse of the universe, echoed from the Dark Messenger's shattered vocal cords. His final gaze before dissipating caused the Nine-Tails' fur to stand on end. As the reflections of the twelve tailed beast chakra overlapped...

Black snow suddenly began to fall in the desert.

Each snowflake represents a scene of a ninja's tragic death in a certain time and space. As everyone gasped for breath and looked towards the center of the sealing array, they discovered that the broken terracotta figures were absorbing the energy dissipated by the Dark Messenger.

Kakashi noticed that Hinata's Byakugan suddenly reflected the Kaguya statue on the surface of the moon, while Orochimaru was caressing the remnants of the space-time rift with a greedy look in his eyes.

In the deepest darkness, a second pair of eyes is opening.

The Dark Messenger's fragmented body emitted a roar like the collapse of a galaxy during quantum collapse, its pale skin peeling away inch by inch into spacetime dust.

Naruto suddenly covered his right eye—from the scattered fragments of dark matter, countless overlapping images appeared: ancient ninjas using forbidden techniques that burned their lives to push a black sun into the earth's crust, the first Kage kneeling before a bloodstained altar and gouging out their hearts, and a bronze coffin engraved with the Six Paths Sage Talisman trembling like a heartbeat in the deep sea.

So you... cough... have even forgotten what you sealed away... The Dark Messenger's sonic waves caused the patterns of an ancient city to appear on the ruins of Sunagakure.

As his right arm transformed into a meteor shower and fell into the desert, everyone clearly saw that one of the fragments contained twenty Kaguya clan members whose bodies were bound in chains.

Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles suddenly convulsed and retracted into its body.

When he saw a fragment of memory showing the Third Raikage being pierced through the chest by dark chakra, his tailed beast chakra went berserk uncontrollably: Damn it!

This is the Cloud Village's Forbidden Space-Time Technique Pavilion!

Don't touch those fragments! Orochimaru's snake-like eyes suddenly narrowed to vertical slits. A large white-scaled snake emerged from his sleeve and bit Shikamaru's hand, which was about to touch the fragments of memory. These were conceptual contaminations that would directly rewrite one's cognition...

But it was too late.

Hinata's Byakugan uncontrollably pierced through the time-space rift, and she saw her twelve-year-old self wiping blood-stained kunai in the Hyuga ancestral hall, while a dark tide flowed from the future to the past.

As she pointed tremblingly to a terracotta figure that was absorbing black snow, the group noticed that the oozing slime had solidified into a keratinous layer resembling the shell of a ten-tailed fox.

Look inside the terracotta figurine! Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly bled, and inside the terracotta fragment he split open, a semi-transparent human figure was curled up—clearly the appearance of the Jinchuriki of each generation in their infancy, with umbilical cord-like black chakra connecting to the cracks on the moon's surface.

Kakashi's Kamui dimension suddenly trembled violently.
