Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Chapter 303 Which catastrophe didn't begin with suspicion?

The blood moon illuminated the scorched earth, making it resemble a battlefield of carnage, while the viscous, liquid darkness continued to devour the sand and gravel at the edge of the battlefield.

Naruto staggered back three steps, and the golden cloak formed from the Nine-Tails' chakra dripped down like melted wax. The chakra droplets that fell to the ground were immediately absorbed by the rune array under the black shadow's feet.

Don't be reckless! Sasuke's Kusanagi sword, accompanied by the sharp cry of Chidori, pierced diagonally, but was corroded into molten red iron by the purplish-black chakra the instant it touched the corner of the black figure's robe.

The six-pointed star array in his pupils contracted violently, and as he hastily retreated, three bloody gashes appeared on his left shoulder—those crimson kunai floating in the air didn't even have a physical form; the residual power of the Six Paths Sage Technique alone had torn apart Susanoo's rib armor.

The shadowy figure let out a laugh that sounded like sandpaper rubbing together, and raised its hand to crush the fireball Sasuke had unleashed into a black ball the size of a fingernail.

Just then, Darui's Storm Release laser swept across the medical team's tent. Hinata's Byakugan instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and she desperately channeled her Gentle Fist chakra into the meridians of her legs, forcefully using the Heavenly Reversal Barrier to cut off the out-of-control, deadly beam.

The medical team retreated 300 meters! Tsunade smashed the flying rocks with a punch, the emerald green runes of the Hundred Healings Technique flickering on her forehead.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Temari's trembling wrist as she swung her three-star fan; the Sand Village princess's right leg was being eroded by incantations, revealing bare white bones.

A blinding white light suddenly exploded in the center of the battlefield, and Onoki's Dust Release cube was crushed into light fragments by the black shadow with his bare hands. "Twenty years ago, I was able to seal Kaguya, but now..." The Third Tsuchikage's roar abruptly stopped, and his body, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly stiffened. The scattered light fragments transformed into barbed chains, binding him tightly to the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor.

Old man! The lava pillar that Kurotsuchi threw out was blasted into a rain of lava by the reverse-flowing chakra before it could take shape.

The viscous dark liquid took the opportunity to climb up her ankles. If Kakashi hadn't used Kamui to teleport that area, the Iwagakure demolition squad leader would probably have died on the spot.

Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and leaped up again, this time deliberately keeping the Rasengan within three inches of his palm.

Nine-Tails growled in his mental space: That guy's Yin Seal is absorbing natural energy! Sure enough, when the Rasenshuriken carrying Sage Chakra roared in, the incantation on the black figure's chest suddenly twisted into a vortex, compressing the entire ninjutsu into a black crystal the size of a walnut.

His recklessness remained unchanged for twenty years. Sasuke's Rinnegan emitted a bewitching purple light, and his Amenotejikara instantly switched his position with Naruto's.

The black-blooded spear, which was meant to pierce Naruto's heart, grazed Sasuke's ribs and eroded a honeycomb-like hole in a cliff a kilometer away.

However, this seemingly ingenious teamwork resulted in the two colliding head-on—Naruto's shadow clone, which he attempted to use to cover for Sasuke, blocked Sasuke's planned escape route.

Do you think this is Team 7's training ground? Sasuke's Sharingan was bleeding from overuse, and forcibly changing the coordinates of Amenotejikara consumed 30% of his chakra.

Naruto stood up, supporting himself on Sasuke's shoulders. The tailed beast chakra made Sasuke's cloak sizzle: Enough talk!

How can I find the gap in that guy's absorption without using shadow clones?

Their argument was crushed by the sound of hand seals forming in the shadows.

Twenty-seven scarlet kunai suddenly floated above the battlefield, each rune corresponding to the chakra attribute of a ninja who had died tragically earlier.

As soon as Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique touched the kunai array, the entire ground array suddenly reversed, and the Nara clan's secret Yin Release technique was transformed into nourishment for the shadows.

"Watch out!" Hinata cried out in alarm, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking.

She rolled out of the danger zone carrying her badly injured tooth; the white robes of the Hyuga main family were already soaked in blood.

As Shino's swarm of parasitic insects attempted to devour the spell, they spontaneously combusted. The men of the Aburame clan knelt on the ground, their faces behind their goggles revealing fear for the first time.

Onoki and the Raikage roared from the eastern battlefield, the two Kage-level powerhouses being backfired by their own ninjutsu.

The Dust Release white light scorched marks on the Lightning Release armor, while the Raikage's Heavy Flow Burst shattered the rock giant created by the Tsuchikage.

The dark figure stood between the two, laughing loudly. The Sharingan pattern in his left eye and the Sharingan pattern in his right eye flashed alternately, as if he were watching a trapped beast fight.

Those reckless brutes from Kumogakure are just a hindrance! Akatsuchi used his Rock Punch to deflect the out-of-control Lightning Release Sphere, but he was thrown to the ground by the recoil.

Several Iwagakure ninjas immediately glared resentfully at the Kumogakure team, as two of the medical team members that Darui had accidentally injured earlier were their wives and daughters.

Temari's three-star fan slammed into the ground, and the Sand Village troops silently tightened their defensive line—they remained on the edge of the battlefield, a move that drew sneers from the remaining Kirigakure forces.

Kakashi's mask was mostly soaked with blood, and he hesitated to throw the last two specially made shuriken.

There were still seven seriously injured people lying in the Kamui space. If even the coordinate anchor point was contaminated by the black shadow... Suddenly, he noticed that the flow of the incantation on the black shadow's clothes froze for a moment, and that gap coincided with the time when Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously unleashed their chakra.

"Kurama!" Naruto roared, channeling the Nine-Tails' chakra into every pore of his body. This time, he didn't conjure any form.

A pure golden torrent illuminated the night sky, and Sasuke almost simultaneously covered his entire body with Amaterasu black flames.

When the chakra of extreme yang and extreme yin collided in front of the shadowy figure, a crack half a finger wide was indeed torn open in space.

The shadowy figure took a half step back for the first time.

However, before the allied forces could cheer, Onoki suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The old man stared in shock at the writhing incantations in his palm. The Dust Release chakra that had just been absorbed was actually corrosive: Everyone must stop using their bloodline limits!

His techniques are analyzing our...

The warning came too late.

Mei Terumi's Boiling Release Mist suddenly reversed, melting more than a dozen Mist Ninjas; Chojuro's Hiramekarei released an uncontrolled shockwave, shattering the hard-won vanguard formation once again.

Most fatally, the ground in the medical area where Hinata was located began to collapse, and the wounded who should have been healed by the Hundred Healings Technique suddenly had black viscous fluid gushing from their wounds.

Hyuga-san, run! The moment Shizune pushed Hinata away, the entire emergency tent was uprooted.

Tsunade used her superhuman strength to shatter the flying equipment rack, only to find that her regeneration speed was starting to stagnate—the chakra stored in the Hundred Healings Technique was flowing backward.

The shadowy figure spread its arms, letting the gale billow its robes, and the suspended crimson kunai began to automatically pursue the dying.

As Naruto used his nine chakra tails to protect Hinata, Sasuke's Susanoo bow and arrow were already aimed at the black shadow's throat.

However, the moment their eyes met, Naruto saw Sasuke's Rinnegan.

Don't use that move! Naruto's shadow clone lunged at Sasuke, but was swept away by his Susanoo Wings.

At this critical stalemate, the Yin sealing array beneath the shadowy figure suddenly expanded across the entire battlefield, and the flow of chakra among all the ninjas began to follow a strange new pattern.

The western defense line has completely collapsed.

The puppet troops of Sunagakure were the first to suffer, as Granny Chiyo's White Secret Technique suddenly turned against them.

As the venomous stinger of Sasori's parents' puppets shot towards Temari, the usually calm Gaara suddenly crushed the seal on the gourd at his waist.

The yellow sand swirled beneath his feet, but the absolute defense that should have been instantaneous was a beat too late—a wisp of black sand mixed into Shukaku's chakra.

Gaara's sandstorm gleamed with an iron-blue hue under the moonlight, the yellow sand clinging to the billowing robes of the dark figure as if it were alive.

A wisp of black sand quietly disintegrated amidst the sandfall, and blood suddenly seeped from the love tattoo on the back of his neck—the remnant of the curse mark that the Akatsuki had planted in his body three years ago.

The Sand Village boy glanced down at the winding bloodline in his palm, but instead urged his chakra to surge even more fiercely, causing the entire Gobi Desert's rock formations to tremble with Shukaku's roar.

In the 46th year of Konoha, the Kirigakure Bloodline Uprising occurred; in the 39th year of Kumogakure, the Gold and Silver Brothers Rebellion broke out... His voice, carrying sand and gravel, swept across the battlefield, each word striking the crumbling lines of Iwagakure. Which catastrophe didn't begin with suspicion? The Sand Hand, formed from One-Tailed Chakra, suddenly grasped Darui's lightning blade as it slashed towards Akatsuchi. The sparks of electricity illuminated Temari's pale face—she was using the Three-Star Fan to block Mei Terumi's out-of-control Boiling Release Acid Mist.

Naruto stared blankly at the red hair fluttering in the sand, vaguely seeing the reclusive boy covered in bandages during the Chunin Exams.

Kurama suddenly sneered in his consciousness: This kid's chakra is hotter than Shukaku's. He was jolted awake and found that Sasuke's Kusanagi sword was deflecting the cursed kunai that was being shot at Hinata, and that there were still burn marks on his fingertips from the collision.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!" Hinata's sharp shout startled everyone.

Her bloodshot white eyes burned with an unprecedented sharpness, and her sixty-four palm strikes precisely severed the chains of incantations spreading beneath the shadowy figure's feet.

Aburame Shino's swarm of insects suddenly surged out from the crack in the ground, forming a sealing array under the cover of Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique, following the chakra node opened by the Hyuga main family.

The shadowy figure's cold smile suddenly twisted.

When the combined ninjutsu of the five Kage tore through the night sky, Onoki's Dust Release white light was mixed with the Raikage's lightning strike level, Tsunade's monstrous fist wind was wrapped with Gaara's sand spear, and even Mei Terumi's Lava Release acid liquid turned into a poisoned blade.

Kakashi's Kamui vortex tore open a crack in the sky above the battlefield, sucking all the scattered chakra into another dimension.

"Got you." Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly shed tears of blood.

With Amaterasu Black Flame in his left hand and Chidori Sharp Spear in his right, he formed a Yin-Yang array with the Sage Art Seals rotating within Naruto's Rasengan.

The moment the two forces collided, the vortex of incantations on the black figure's chest was torn open, revealing half of a pale, corpse-like face—the eyebrows and eyes bore a striking resemblance to Bai Ye's.

But the dawn of victory was fleeting.

Suddenly, ink-like liquid seeped from the tattered clothes of the dark figure, and the defeated sandstorm reformed beneath the feet of the allied forces.

Gaara groaned as he knelt on one knee. The sand armor formed from Shukaku's chakra peeled away piece by piece, each grain of sand reflecting a grinning skull. "Be careful... Reverse Seal..." The blood he coughed up condensed into crimson runes in mid-air.

Suddenly, the world fell into a deathly silence.

The suspended crimson kunai exploded simultaneously, and a dark vortex with a diameter of 100 meters rose in the center of the battlefield.

The shattered puppet limbs and fragments of ninja tools spun in the vortex, gradually coalescing into the blurry outlines of twelve colossal statues.

Naruto reached out and caught the falling black sand, discovering that each grain of sand was engraved with the seal pattern of the Chest of Elysium.

That wasn't chakra... Blood suddenly seeped from Hinata's Byakugan. Her trembling fingertip pointed to the center of the vortex. Something... was consuming natural energy...

Kakashi's Kamui kunai suddenly burst into flames inside the blade pouch.

When he looked up at the northwest horizon, he noticed that a dark halo had appeared around the edge of the blood moon, much like the celestial phenomenon before Obito launched the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

On the scorched earth at the edge of the battlefield, fragments of the Six Paths Staff that Byakuya gave to Sasuke are oozing a luminous, sticky liquid.

Chapter 304 The Will of the Ninja Alliance

The sand sparked dark purple as it rubbed against the edge of the vortex, and the black sand that Naruto was holding in his palm suddenly became scalding hot.

As he abruptly pulled his hand back, he discovered that the grains of sand engraved with sealing patterns were seeping into his flesh through his fingers, like countless tiny centipedes gnawing at his chakra meridians.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly slashed horizontally, the lightning-covered blade slicing the entire black sand in two.

"Don't touch this sand." Sasuke's Rinnegan rippled as he stared at the nicks in his sword. "This stuff is consuming the activity of chakra."

A cracking sound, like bones shattering, emanated from the center of the vortex, and the outlines of the twelve colossal statues became increasingly clear.

The figure at the very front raised an arm pieced together from the remains of a puppet, and the star pattern of Sunagakure was clearly visible in the palm of its hand.

Kakashi ripped open the burning blade pouch, and ashes from the Kamui kunai fell onto his blood-stained headband: "Natural energy is collapsing; that thing is creating a chakra vacuum!"

Tsunade's slug clones suddenly began to disintegrate, and a strange fluorescent green seeped from the mucus.

She concentrated her chakra in her toes and slammed her foot into the ground. The monstrous force bursting from the spiderweb-like cracks shattered the approaching sandstorm: "Medical team, retreat 300 meters! Shikamaru, calculate the colossus's trajectory!"

"An energy anomaly detected at a 20-degree angle to the northwest!" Hinata's Byakugan blood vessels burst and healed, her trembling fingers drawing intricate divination symbols on the sand. "The same chakra flow that Neji-nii-san saw back then..."

Naruto suddenly staggered and fell to his knees.

The Nine-Tails' chakra cloak hissed and went out like a flame doused with cold water. He watched helplessly as black slime seeped from his shadow, climbing back up the eye markings of Sage Mode.

On the scorched earth in the distance, the fragments of the tin staff left behind by Byakuya suddenly expanded into root-like veins, wrapping the corpses of the three Iwagakure ninjas into cocoons.

"Why..." Naruto's fist slammed into the sand, the flying sand grains drawing blood from his cheek.

He gazed at Shikamaru, shrouded in the shadow of the colossus—the ever-strategizing strategist, biting his thumbnail and muttering to himself; Temari's three-star fan was broken in half, and the expression on her face as she shielded Gaara behind her was strikingly similar to the way Shukaku had gone berserk back then.

Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton suddenly enveloped Naruto, and the purple ribs were corroded by black sand, creating honeycomb-like holes.

"You're at the bottom of the class, now's not the time to be spacing out." As he spoke, the ripples of his Rinnegan faded, and cold sweat mixed with blood seeped from his forehead and flowed into his collar.

Killer Bee suddenly started singing off-key rap, and the Eight-Tails' tentacles wrapped around three Sand Village boys and flung them out of the danger zone.

As he turned and gave a thumbs-up, the Raikage's Lightning Release armor cleaved through the dark clouds that shrouded the battlefield, and the fleeting sunlight illuminated the tears behind his sunglasses: "Idiot! Remember the Turtle Island training? Octopus leg rice with thundercloud storm!"

Naruto vaguely saw fragments of his memories overlapping before his eyes.

At Turtle Island Waterfall, seven Samehada swords simultaneously cleaved through the water, Killer Bee drawing a smiling face in the air with tailed beast chakra; after the Valley of the End battle, Sasuke turned his back to him as he wiped his Kusanagi sword, their incomplete reflections mirrored in the blade's shadow; when Team 7 went on their first mission at age twelve, Kakashi said, "The most important thing about teamwork is..."

"Leaf Whirlwind!" He suddenly leaped up and kicked away the puppet limbs that were attacking Temari. The azure chakra exploded at his ankle, and the sealed sand grains that had burrowed into his skin were shaken out of his body.

The Nine-Tails' chakra, wrapped in Sage Mode's natural energy, reignited, and this time, ancient patterns resembling those of a scroll from Mount Myōboku appeared on its outer garment.

Onoki's Dust Release suddenly tore open at the edge of the vortex, and the old Shadow's roar pierced through the spatial turbulence: "Kids, watch carefully! This is the true Will of Stone!" In the white light bursting from his palm, the afterimage of the time when Mu taught him the Bloodline Limit was revealed.

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor and Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball simultaneously struck the giant's knee joint, and in the burst of intense light, the burning figures of the Cloud Village's Jinchuriki could be vaguely seen.

“Uncle Bee…” Naruto watched Killer Bee dancing in the chakra turbulence, and the Tailed Beast Cloak suddenly transformed into the appearance that Kushina had when she taught him the sealing technique.

He turned to Sasuke, revealing his bloodied teeth: "This time, I'll be the bait!"

The moment the Rasenshuriken tore through the dark vortex, Naruto suddenly caught a glimpse of the symbol that Fukasaku, the Toad Sage, had drawn on his palm before his death.

The triangular totem, drawn with Sage Chakra and resembling the base of the Mount Myōboku altar, now perfectly overlaps with the veins of the White Night Staff fragment...

Naruto's Sage Chakra suddenly trembled violently, and the triangular totems that resonated with the fragments of the White Night Staff burned a scorching afterimage on his retina.

Golden-red light oozed from the wounds torn by the sand and gravel. He suddenly grabbed Sasuke's retreating cloak: "Grandpa Toad said before he died—the light at the intersection of the three sacred lands will tear through the eternal night!"

Kakashi's Kamui vortex suddenly reversed direction, sucking the hurricane carrying the sealing sand into another dimension.

Beneath his blood-stained headband, his pupils contracted sharply: seven years ago in the ancient scroll room of Mount Myōboku... the array that Fukasaku-sama wrote with toad oil! The fragmented memories reassembled in his Sharingan—on the scroll stained with ink from frog webs, three toads leaped out of the paper in a triangular formation.

"Give the Northwest Qian position to Gaara!" Shikamaru bit his thumb and drew a six-pointed star on the sand table. The blood that seeped from under his fingernail floated into a hexagram. Temari-senpai went to the Zhen position to use Wind Release to clear the debris. Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball must be stuck in the third line of the Li hexagram! His bloodshot eyes swept over Killer Bee's pupils behind the crack in his sunglasses. The latter suddenly used his octopus tentacles to whip up Raikage and fling him into the sky.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly unleashed six ripples, and he leaped to the top of the array, stepping on the ribs of Susanoo.

The moment the Kusanagi sword pierced the sand, a tremor like the cry of a thousand birds resounded from the depths of the earth's veins: "You bottom-of-the-barrel guy, your Yang Release chakra is polluting the core of the formation." As he spoke, the ancient murals on the cliff face of Mount Myōboku appeared in the projection of his Rinnegan—the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Yamata no Orochi spewing flames at opposite ends of an altar.
