Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

"A bait even more delicious than Kisame." Black Zetsu's voice was laced with the sound of sticky water as his gaze swept over the sealing marks on Naruto's abdomen. "The Nine-Tails' chakra should be returned to its rightful owner."

Kakashi's kunai left afterimages, but was swallowed by a spatial rift when it touched Black Zetsu's brow.

As he leaped backward, he glimpsed the tomoe spinning wildly in Sasuke's eyes, and the boy's fingertips forming hand seals were condensing purple lightning and Amaterasu black flames—the bloodline limits of the Uchiha and Hyuga were resonating in the spatial tremors.

"Iron Sand Rain!" Rasa's Magnet Release and Temari's Kamaitachi formed an iron storm, but it was shredded into pieces by the Golem's chains as it penetrated the enemy formation.

Just as Onoki's Dust Release barrier reached a height of thirty meters, he noticed that the Iwagakure ANBU were quietly retreating.

This subtle wavering was caught by the Raikage, who enraged and unleashed a burst of lightning three feet long: "Old man, trying to desert?"

"Preserving strength is not the same as being cowardly!" Onoki's Dust Release beam swept away seven Dark Ninjas, but the rubble turned into White Zetsu spores the moment it touched the ground. "Look at these modified Impure World Reincarnations! They can turn any substance into ration pills!"

The alliance's formation was exposed as a result of this argument.

As Hinata turned to shield the Konoha medical team from the chain thrust, fragments of the golem suddenly sprouted from the seams of her shoulder armor.

As pale blue chakra flowed backward through her meridians, she staggered and fell to the ground, only to see the Nine-Tails' cloak erupting around Naruto, eroding the seal.

"Don't come any closer!" She bit her tongue, using the excruciating pain to keep her eyes clear, and used her soft fist to press acupoints, severing the black veins spreading along her collarbone. "These spores... are mimicking the Caged Bird Seal..."

The moment Naruto's shadow clone was pierced by the demonic chains, Kurama's roar stirred up a monstrous wave in his mind.

The crimson chakra uncontrollably overflowed the sealing iron gate, but just as it was about to go berserk, it was burned by the Sage of Six Paths' talisman, causing it to emit blue smoke.

Black Zetsu's cold laugh pierced the battlefield: "How ironic, the power of the tailed beasts you rely on is the very chakra fruit we planted."

Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique wove a spider web on the ground, but the White Zetsu suddenly formed Earth Release hand seals in unison.

The rock spikes rising from the earth's crust precisely pierced each point where the shadows connected. This tactical prediction, which defied common sense, sent chills down his spine—the opponent could simultaneously read the combat consciousness of hundreds of people.

“It’s the Golem Resonance.” Temari’s three-star fan stirred up dust for cover. “Their chakra network is more efficient than our radio!”

When Tsunade's Yin Healing Destruction shattered the fifth wave of spore attacks, she noticed that the Palm Healing Technique chakra was beginning to reverse and heal her wounds.

She tore open the blood-stained cuff and saw gill-like patterns emerging from beneath her skin, devouring the medical ninjutsu—just like the offerings made by the Land of Whirlpools to the deep-sea ruins twenty years ago.

"Use taijutsu!" She blasted away the dark ninja beside her who was trying to use water jutsu. "Ninjutsu will be converted into nourishment for them!"

The Raikage's Lightning Plow Blade and Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Cloak simultaneously lit up the night sky, but their positions were deflected by spatial folds at the moment of their combined attack.

Onoki's Dust Release support was half a second too late, only enough time to vaporize the enemy's remaining right arm.

The black mist seized the opportunity to flood into the wound, transforming the severed limb into a deformed weapon covered in golem chains.

"Is this your unity?" Black Zetsu's figure appeared and disappeared in the spatial rift, his fingertips wrapped with space-time chakra extracted from Kakashi's Sharingan. "Even Obito Uchiha's eye technique is betraying you."

As Naruto's Nine-Tails-transformed claws tore through the tenth layer of enemy formation, he suddenly sensed that the natural energy of Sage Mode was in disarray.

Fukasaku's warning was drowned out by the chakra storm. He only saw Hinata use the Eight Trigrams Palm to repel the fragments of the golem that were rushing towards him, and the Caged Bird Seal on the back of her neck was merging with the spore pattern to form some kind of ancient totem.

When Sasuke's Amaterasu finally burned through the spatial barrier, everyone saw countless chains of golems entwining a shadow a hundred times larger than a tailed beast in the dark crack in the starry sky.

Kurama's fear materialized into physical chakra, forming bone spurs on Naruto's back that even the Sage of Six Paths had never seen before.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Onoki secretly crushed the clay bird hidden in his sleeve—the plea for help that was supposed to fly to Iwagakure was now being transformed by spores into a self-destructing puppet that was flying in the opposite direction.

The crimson moonlight twisted into a vortex within the spore cloud, and Naruto's fingernails dug deeply into his palm.

The blood that splattered when Hinata fell to the ground stained his lips, and the salty, fishy taste suddenly transformed into the sensation of the Chunin Exams that year—the girl trembling as she shielded him from Pain's black rods, the same drop of blood shattering into eight ice flowers before his snow-white pupils.

We're going to become Hokage's comrades! The sound of Kiba laughing loudly in the treetop while holding Akamaru pierced through my mind, and Kurama's roar suddenly became clear and cold.

The rampaging chakra around Naruto suddenly contracted into golden chains, and the tailed beast cloak condensed into the tomoe pattern of the Sage of Six Paths.

Eight Trigrams Seal - Modified! He bit his thumb and drew a bloody mark in reverse on the seal on his abdomen, the boiling chakra stream shaking the spores around him into crystal dust.

At this moment, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan resonated with his chakra, and the Amaterasu black flames meandered along the lightning chakra into a roaring Kirin.

The Raikage's severed arm was suddenly enveloped by a pillar of Dust Release light. Onoki's cold snort carried a hint of shame: "I haven't stooped so low as to let a young man cover my retreat!" The crystallized severed arm transformed into a meteor shower that crashed into the enemy ranks, colliding with Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball in mid-air and creating an annihilation white light.

The golem chains danced wildly like snakes in the intense light, and blood tears streamed from Kakashi's Sharingan.

The Kamui vortex tore open at the intersection of the chains, swirling the spore cloud within a thirty-meter radius into the spacetime dimension. Obito's eye technique... he gasped for breath, plunging a kunai into his thigh to stay conscious. This time, he would never be defiled by you!

Hinata's cursed seal on her neck suddenly emitted a tsunami-like buzzing sound.

She struggled to sever the spore roots on her shoulder blade with her soft fists, only to find that the pale blue veins had already invaded her heart along the Ren meridian.

The moment Naruto broke through the blockade, she saw the nine chakra tails swaying behind the boy condense into snow-white Truth-Seeking Balls.

"Don't touch me!" Hinata's cry was drowned out by the storm of chakra.

The black totem on her collarbone suddenly opened three Rinnegan eyes, and the golem chains pierced Naruto's right shoulder directly from the void.

The moment their chakra merged, Kurama's roar suddenly turned into a terrified sob—outside the iron fence of the consciousness space, a pressure even more ancient than the Ten-Tails was awakening.

Outside the barrier formed by the iron sand and wind blades, Black Zetsu's body is reconstructing within the spores.

His asphalt-like fingertips held the clay bird he had snatched from Onoki's sleeve, and his worm-eaten laughter made the night sky tremble: what sweet despair, even the Dust Release of the two Libras was tainted with the taste of fear.

Shikamaru's shadow seized the opportunity to entangle the five golem chains, but cold sweat soaked through his headband.

On the unfolded tactical board, black ink representing the enemy was seeping out of the scroll, eroding the Sunagakure medical team's mark into a vortex shape—exactly the same as the report on the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools that his father analyzed twenty years ago.

Natural energy is flowing backwards! Fukasaku's warning has finally broken through the chakra turbulence.

The moment Naruto's Sage Mode mask appeared, the cursed seal on Hinata's neck suddenly burst into pale flames.

The vein patterns of the corpses emerging from the flames were none other than the Yomotsu Hirasaka recorded in the lost secret scroll of the Hyuga clan.

The Raikage's Lightning Release armor suddenly emitted a red light like molten iron. He roared and tore off the chains wrapped around his waist, but froze on the spot when the broken chains hit the ground.

Those metal fragments tainted with his chakra were wriggling and growing nerve networks similar to White Zetsu spores.

Don't use chakra! Tsunade's powerful punch shattered the mutated rocks, and the distinctive slug patterns of the Shikkotsu Forest appeared in her blood-stained hair. These reanimated beings were mimicking our...

The warning was interrupted by a deafening roar as space was torn apart.

As Sasuke's Susanoo arrow pierced Black Zetsu's chest, the wound, which should have been nonexistent, instead gushed forth a tar-like substance, consuming all the purple chakra. "Uchiha brat," Black Zetsu's torn mouth stretched to his ears, "didn't your brother teach you anything?"

We are the will of Princess Kaguya.

Hinata, who was in Naruto's arms, suddenly trembled violently. Her pale pupils reflected the scene deep in Kurama's mind: the Sage of Six Paths' stone tablet was cracking, and the giant Tenseigan sleeping beneath the stone tablet was resonating with the fragments in the ground of the Hyuga ancestral hall.

The moment the golem chains pierced her heart, Naruto saw the Karma seal of the Otsutsuki clan emerge within his chakra.

Chapter 308 Mirage Illusion Array

Blood mist mixed with sand slapped against Naruto's face as he knelt in the center of the cracked, scorched earth, the Nine-Tails' chakra-formed cloak peeling away inch by inch from his shoulders.

Hinata, held in his arms, coughed up blood mixed with golden fragments. The Caged Bird Seal on her forehead resonated with the wedge-shaped runes on the Golem's chains, forming a strange gravitational vortex around the two of them.

Don't move! Naruto wrapped his right hand with Tailed Beast Chakra and forcefully broke the chain that was piercing Hinata's heart.

As the dark purple crystalline fragments fell, his pupils suddenly contracted—the immortal patterns on his palms were being eroded by some pale substance, like a tide frozen by moonlight.

Twenty paces away, Sasuke's Susanoo suddenly emitted a piercing cracking sound.

Black Zetsu's chest, pierced by the arrow, turned into a tar-like fluid, climbing upwards along the purple chakra. Kaguya's will endures. Her torn mouth stretched to her ears, revealing the writhing white eyes within, just as the Hyuga princess would ultimately become the vessel for the Tenseigan...

Bagua Empty Palm!

Hinata suddenly broke free from Naruto's embrace, her pale pupils overflowing with a faint golden light.

As she staggered, the force of her palm strike condensed in mid-air into a gravitational field unique to the Tenseigan, pulverizing the incoming White Zetsu spores.

Just as Naruto was about to step forward, the girl suddenly clutched her chest and knelt down. A wedge-shaped mark appeared beneath the main family's robe, pulsating in sync with the chains of the golem.

Don't touch me! She trembled and shrank into the cracked rock crevice, beads of sweat dripping from her hair and scorching the parched earth, creating a bluish smoke. That mark... was devouring the source of chakra attributes...

Kakashi's Lightning Blade suddenly tore through the thick fog in the southeast corner.

Blood trickled from his Sharingan beneath his forehead protector as his kunai pierced precisely into a point in the void: three o'clock, seven-second interval! Ripples spread through the air where the kunai struck, and three White Zetsu, who were forming hand seals, materialized out of thin air.

The moment the Lightning Release chakra was transmitted through the kunai, the Fourth Raikage's roar echoed across the battlefield: It's a Mirage Illusion!

They used a mirage to cover up the actual location!

Naruto suddenly felt Kurama growling deep within his consciousness.

He looked at Sasuke, who was locked in battle with Black Zetsu, and noticed that the purple ripples of Sasuke's Rinnegan were resonating with Hinata's gravitational field.

A vague tactical outline flashed through his mind, and he bit his finger and pressed it into his still-bleeding palm.

Psychic art!

As Gamakichi, enveloped in Sage Chakra, crashed to the ground, Killer Bee's Eight-Tails tentacles swept away the spore cloud in the northwest corner.

The moment Naruto leaped onto the toad's head, Sasuke's Susanoo arrows pierced the air, transforming the rock slab on Gamakichi's back into a temporary barrier.

Nine Lama Mode!

The moment the golden chakra shot into the sky, Naruto saw countless thin, spider-web-like gravity lines appear on the battlefield.

The White Zetsu army, controlled by Black Zetsu, is moving along a trajectory of some kind of hexagonal matrix, resetting its position every seven seconds under the cover of a mirage.

He shouted at Kakashi, who was fighting the Raikage: "Sensei!"

It's a variation of the sixty-four hexagrams!

The Qian position shifts to the Kan position! Kakashi throws three shuriken with his backhand, which collide in mid-air, creating arcs of electricity, and land precisely on the phase node of the matrix.

Almost simultaneously, Sasuke's Kagutsuchi black flames burned along the gravity lines, revealing the array's core hidden within the mirage.

Now! Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball and Naruto's Rasenshuriken were unleashed simultaneously.

When the two forces collided at the core of the matrix, the ley lines of the entire battlefield suddenly emitted a mournful cry.

Onoki's Dust Release barrier enveloped everyone at the opportune moment, directing the recoil shockwave towards the sky.

Hinata suddenly let out a painful whimper.

The wedge-shaped mark on the back of her neck multiplied wildly, forming a small Yomotsu Hirasaka vortex within the barrier.

Naruto tried to rush over, but was blocked by the afterimage of the Sage of Six Paths—the phantom's Ame-no-Nama spear was pointing at the mark on his heart.

Don't let fate trap you, you idiot!

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword, imbued with Amaterasu's flames, cleaved through the afterimage, and his bleeding Rinnegan briefly met Naruto's azure eyes.

The tacit understanding they had for each other twenty years ago in the Valley of the End was rekindled in an instant, and the two simultaneously formed the Child Seal.

Yin Yang Escape: All Things in the Universe!

Black and white chakra spirals intertwined and rose into the sky, turning the blood moon above the battlefield into a chaotic gray.

Beneath this eerie sky, all the ninjas saw the mirage matrix, which was reassembling, suddenly freeze—like a sundial stopped by an invisible hand.

Don't give them time to reset! Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique caused blue-green patterns to bloom on her forehead. Medical Team!

Infuse Sage Chakra into the sealing team's Water Vein Formation!

Naruto leaped towards the core of the formation, stepping on Gamakichi, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hinata using Gentle Fist to sever the wedge-shaped veins on her body.

The girl's bloodshot white eyes suddenly met his gaze, the starlight in her eyes burning brighter than any words could express.

He recalled the Chunin Exams when he was twelve years old, when a pair of eyes, just like those, stubbornly followed his back through the swirling sandstorm.

Rasengan!

The moment the golden sphere of light slammed into the earth's veins, ancient hexagrams from the Kaguya era suddenly appeared on the surface of the entire battlefield.

Just as the White Zetsu army was about to reorganize its formation, it suddenly fell into a fissure in the ground. The spores and tentacles that had multiplied on their bodies turned to ashes like snow scorched by the sun as the hexagrams shifted.

Black Zetsu's piercing scream tore through the clouds: You have no idea what the Otsutsuki are like...

The warning abruptly stopped.

Hinata, who was floating in the center of the Bagua diagram, suddenly opened her eyes. The Tenseigan mark on her forehead and the wedge mark on Naruto's body glowed at the same time, forming a corridor of light that spanned the heavens and the earth between the two of them.

All the ninjas felt their chakra flowing uncontrollably in that direction, as naturally as all rivers flowing into the sea.

When the light faded, people saw Naruto frozen in mid-air, still in an embracing pose, while Hinata, who should have been in his arms, was floating hundreds of feet in the air.

The girl's snow-white hair was shimmering with a star-like luster, and twelve Truth-Seeking Jewels slowly rotated behind her, like a goddess descending to earth from a mythological mural.

Floating in the halo, Hinata suddenly curled her fingers, and the twelve Truth-Seeking Balls trembled simultaneously, emitting a dragon-like hum.

She lightly touched the air with her toes, and layers of hexagram ripples bloomed beneath her feet. The remains of a puppet specially made by Sunagakure floated and reassembled in the ripples, transforming into chains engraved with cuneiform script that wrapped around the Raikage's body.

This isn't a Hyuga clan secret technique! Black Zetsu's asphalt-like body suddenly erupted with countless Byakugan, their rotating pupils reflecting Hinata high in the sky. "You actually used the Otsutsuki's Karma..."

Sasuke's Susanoo arrow grazed Black Zetsu's split mouth and embedded itself in the rock, and Amaterasu's flames instantly spread along its fluid body.

But this burning was unusually slow. The pale substance that kept seeping out of the flames wrapped around the Black Zetsu's remains like a spider web, forming a cocoon-like protective shell under everyone's watchful eyes.
