At this moment, Obito's attack had transcended the realm of taijutsu.

Each of his strikes was accompanied by spatial turbulence. As Naruto rolled to dodge, the golden light remaining from the Flying Thunder God Kunai solidified in the void.

Chapter 328 The Divine Tree

As the Nine-Tails let out a dying cry, and the fifth tail completely turned to wood, Naruto's right eye suddenly saw the phantom of the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.

Sage Art: Frog Kumite! A fist formed from concentrated natural energy struck Obito's chest, the force of which should have shattered mountains instead causing the Divine Tree sapling to burst forth with a dazzling glow.

Orochimaru emerged from the swarm of snakes at the edge of the battlefield, and the trajectory of the Kusanagi sword suddenly changed, with the white phosphorus unique to Ryuchi Cave seeping from the crack the sword left in the void.

The mad scientist stared at the Wet Bone Forest runes that appeared on the sword, his forked tongue trembling with excitement.

Seven flower buds floating behind Obito bloomed simultaneously, each petal a rotating Mangekyou Sharingan.

Naruto, panting heavily, knelt on the ground, his Sage Mode mask being eroded by the wood grain.

He looked up at those expectant eyes and suddenly remembered a prophecy made by the Sage of Six Paths—when the chakra of the nine tailed beasts reunited...

Suddenly, Killer Bee's roar echoed from the northwest sky, and the Eight-Tails' perfect form twisted in the blood mist, becoming nourishment for the Divine Tree.

The Raikage's Lightning Release armor shattered instantly, but the enraged burly man discovered that his fist was being imprisoned by some kind of spacetime amber.

The slug clones summoned by Tsunade turned to stone the moment they came into contact with Obito's aura, and ice crystal dust, the same as that in the ice coffin of the Land of Snow, floated out from their shattered shells.

"Shikamaru!" Kakashi suddenly slashed his palm with a kunai, and his blood, mixed with starlight, drew the Inuzuka clan's secret talisman array on the sand.

The Nara boy, who had been observing the changes on the battlefield, suddenly narrowed his eyes. He saw that within the chakra trajectories modified by the Divine Tree, there was a logical vortex that defied common sense.

This genius, who usually hated trouble the most, suddenly tore off the amulet on his wrist, letting the family's inherited treasures slip through his fingers.

Shikamaru's temples throbbed, and sweat trickled down his neck and into his collar.

He stared intently at the starlight and bloodstains of the Inuzuka clan's secret rune array on the sand—those distorted spots of light were refracting every corner of the battlefield at angles that defied geometric laws.

The Nara family's secret scrolls record that when Yin Release chakra breaks through the three-dimensional limit, even the shadow will produce twelve phase shifts.

"The Divine Tree branches at the seven o'clock position, and there is a 0.3-second delay in the flow of chakra." He bit his tongue to dispel the dizziness with pain, and the unfinished chess puzzle passed down in his family suddenly unfolded into a three-dimensional star map in his mind.

As the hurricane whipped up by Temari's three-star fan swept past their ears, the boy suddenly ripped off the tactical pouch at his waist, and twelve kunai wrapped with explosive tags were precisely nailed into Killer Bee and Gaara's movement trajectories.

"Octopus head! Sand gourd!" Shikamaru's Shadow Stitching Technique drew burning trails of characters on the sand. "Use iron sand at the three o'clock position, and sing rap at the five o'clock position!" The moment he shouted the code, nine pitch-black shadow shuriken suddenly emerged from the spacetime folds beneath Obito's feet—a formation evolved from the shogi endgame he had deliberately lost to Ino three days ago.

Killer Bee's single eye, hidden behind his sunglasses, suddenly contracted, and the tentacles formed from the Eight-Tails' chakra abruptly changed course.

The rhythm of the rap ninja striking the ground with his three-section staff resonated with the sands of Shukaku, the Kazekage of Sunagakure. When the sand iron cloud wrapped in lightning struck the roots of the Divine Tree, what exploded in the air was not sparks, but a kind of spacetime rift similar to shattered glass.

"Sand Rain!" Gaara's gourd spewed out a waterfall of sand wrapped in talismans, each grain of sand transforming into a miniature amber bottle under the enhancement of lightning release.

The ripples of Obito's Rinnegan froze for a moment. Just as he was forced to raise his left hand to form a hand seal, the Nine-Tails' chakra suddenly exploded into turquoise flames at the woody part of Naruto's spine.

"Now!" Shikamaru ripped open the bandage on his right arm, unleashing the Nara family's ancestral sword...

The drifting stardust mixed with Kakashi's Sharingan blood to form a forbidden spacetime marker, and the shadows of the entire battlefield suddenly flowed backward toward the root tumor of the Divine Tree beneath Obito's feet.

Naruto felt that Kurama's roar had turned into a trio.

His torn sage mask oozed toad oil from Mount Myōboku, and the viscous liquid resonated with the fungus growing from Hinata's wound.

When the afterimage of the Sage of Six Paths was reflected in the girl's gray pupils, the chakra cloak of the nine tails suddenly transformed into a translucent crystalline substance.

Yin Yang Release: Senra Collapsed Jade!

Obito's roar overturned the sand within a hundred meters, but the Truth-Seeking Ball, which should have been released instantly, was blocked by a mesh woven from iron sand and octopus tentacles before it could take shape.

Onoki's vanished left-hand phantom suddenly formed a hand seal in the void, and the Dust Release barrier of the Two Scales burst forth from inside Obito's chest at an angle that defied the laws of physics.

"Senfa Tailed Beast Yasaka Magatama!"

The moment Naruto leaped into the air, the nine chakra tails that had unfurled behind him coalesced into a burning tomoe wheel.

Those blazing white orbs, which combined the natural energy of Mount Myōboku with Kaguya's bloodline, continuously broke into countless tiny Tenseigan eyes along their flight path.

When the first magatama touched the Divine Tree sapling on Obito's chest, the gravity of the entire battlefield suddenly reversed.

Silver blood flowed from Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

His Inuzuka family's summoning array suddenly resonated with Shikamaru's Shadow Sewing Technique, and eighteen burning chakra chains emerged from the space-time rift, just in time to entangle Obito's left leg as he attempted to intangify.

In the cracks in the ground that Tsunade shattered, the slug slime from Shikkotsu Forest mixed with the snake slough from Ryuchi Cave to form a gelatinous substance that suppressed space-time ninjutsu.

The earth-shattering explosions divided the battlefield into black and white.

As the light faded, Obito's staff, inlaid with six Truth-Seeking Balls, broke into three pieces, and the half of his face beneath his mask showed cracks resembling tree bark.

Naruto knelt in the center of the circular pit, his right hand maintaining the starting position of the Rasengan, but wooden spikes of the same origin as the Divine Tree grew from his fingertips.

"It...it's a success?" Temari's three-star fan trembled as it was stuck in the sand. She saw the floating dust forming a strange still field around Obito.

Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword suddenly emitted a mournful cry, and the Shikkotsu Forest talisman that appeared on the sword was petrifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Obito's tattered Akatsuki robe suddenly fluttered without any wind.

He raised his carbonized right hand and gently pressed it against the sapling of the Divine Tree in his heart: "You have indeed surprised me..." His hoarse voice echoed multiple times, as if countless Obitos were speaking simultaneously in different times and spaces, "But the struggles of the sacrifices are ultimately just..."

The thunderous explosion drowned out the rest of the sentence.

Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles suddenly turned completely woody. As the Cloud Village ninja staggered and knelt on one knee, the same kind of sticky substance as the Divine Tree flower bud seeped from the crack in his sunglasses.

Gaara's Shukaku Sand condensed into amber in the air, with Obito's Sharingan pattern appearing at the core of each grain of sand.

"Watch out for spatial folds!" Shikamaru's warning was drowned out by the sudden sound of spacetime tearing.

Obito's carbonized body suddenly etherealized into thousands of light particles. These light particles, which shimmered with the patterns of the Rinnegan, did not dissipate. Instead, they gathered above everyone's heads to form a counter-clockwise rotating black vortex.

The branches of the divine tree extending from the center of the vortex were completely different from before; those branches, adorned with Sharingan eyes, were covered with snake scales from Ryuchi Cave.

What's even more suffocating is the oppressive feeling coming from the depths of the vortex—it's not the pressure of chakra, but more like the weight of the entire world pouring down through the crack.

The woody texture of Naruto's arm had spread to his collarbone, but the cross-shaped pattern in his pupils suddenly lit up with an eerie purple light.

The Nine-Tailed Fox emitted a shrill cry in the mental space that was unlike that of a beast: "Kid! This aura is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Obito's ethereal voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the vortex, each syllable carrying a temporal and spatial distortion: "You self-righteous saviors..." The voice seemed to come from both a thousand years ago and the future, "You simply do not understand what you have awakened..."

Chapter 329 Natural Energy Concentration Exceeds Standards

Seven bloody cracks suddenly appeared on the branches of the divine tree at the center of the vortex, and a viscous black substance meandered down along the snake scale pattern.

Kakashi's headband was blown off by the raging air currents, and his exposed Sharingan bled from the pain—he had never seen such distorted spacetime folds before, and the snake-scale-covered branches were even gnawing at the surrounding light.

Don't touch those shadows! Gaara's Sand Eyes exploded above his head, the amber sand grains turning black before they even touched the vortex.

The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release barrier had just begun to glow white when it was torn to shreds by the snake-like chakra that emerged from the vortex.

Onoki's exclamation caught in his throat as his age-spotted hands began to harden at a visible rate.

When Black Zetsu stepped out from the cracked bud of the Divine Tree, twenty-seven sonic booms exploded in the air.

With each step the man, whose body was covered in an asphalt-like substance, took, a sealing array appeared on the ground that rotated in reverse.

Naruto felt the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak trembling violently, and the wooden patterns on his collarbone began to devour the power of the tailed beast.

What a touching reunion. Black Zetsu's voice sounded like hundreds of people speaking at once, and the barrier surrounding Sunagakure shattered into glass-like fragments in the sound waves.

He raised his hand and caught a falling snake scale. The scale immediately multiplied into vines that wrapped around the Sharingan. From the moment the Sage of Six Paths separated the tailed beasts, the actors of this play were destined to gather here.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly let out a mournful cry, and his cursed arm uncontrollably stabbed towards Temari beside him.

The lightning armor binding the Raikage's body began to flow in reverse, blue-white lightning scorching a mark on his chest. Emotions... were being rewritten! Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique collapsed on its own as soon as it took shape, and he saw the shadow beneath his feet splitting into Obito's face.

Hinata's Byakugan suddenly reflected a strange double image.

When she grabbed Naruto's arm, purple sparks erupted at the connection between their chakra meridians: Naruto-kun, these black substances are rewriting the nature of chakra! The Caged Bird Seal on her neck emitted blue light, and the secret barrier of the Hyuga main family automatically unfolded, only to be stained black within three seconds.

The Nine-Tails tore open the third chain in the spiritual space, and golden-orange chakra erupted like lava.

Naruto's veins bulged at the corners of his eyes, and his cross-shaped pupils spun, devouring the woody patterns: Don't underestimate... the perseverance of a loser! Six demon fox tails exploded behind him, each tail tipped with a chakra flower shaped like the Rinne Sharingan.

Black Zetsu let out a pleasant sigh.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly liquefied, and countless stone tablets encased in white Zetsu cells burst forth from the earth.

As the Raikage unleashed his lightning-infused punch, reliefs of past Raikages of Kumogakure appeared on the stone tablets. "Ah, your anger is the sweetest sacrifice." Black Zetsu's fingertips lightly traced the stone tablets, and the Fourth Raikage's fist suddenly shifted direction, slamming towards his own knee.

Cut off the flow of chakra! Blood tears flowed from Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan, and the purple lightning he condensed in his hand turned into a black snake that devoured him.

The cursed seal left by Orochimaru burned on the back of Sasuke's neck. Suddenly, the boy plunged the Kusanagi sword into his own abdomen, and the gushing blood drew a reverse summoning circle in the air.

The oppressive feeling deep within the vortex suddenly increased tenfold.

Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique mark began to flow in reverse, and she was shocked to discover that her regenerative ability was devouring the life force of the ninjas around her.

Gaara's Sand Shield automatically disintegrated into Obito's mask, each mask repeating Madara Uchiha's dying whisper.

What do you think the Sage of Six Paths' prophecy was? Black Zetsu's figure suddenly split into twelve afterimages, each holding a different tailed beast's chakra chain. When the savior personally unlocks the shackles, the true creator god will emerge from the space-time rift... His declaration suddenly stopped, and the asphalt substance on one of the split entities' faces began to writhe abnormally.

The wood grain on Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Cloak suddenly cracked completely.

On his blood-stained palm, an ancient talisman from Mount Myōboku was burning—a reverse spiritual seal secretly imprinted by the sage Fukasaku while he was unconscious.

As Black Zetsu suddenly covered his right eye and retreated, a crisp sound like shattering glass came from the center of the vortex.

The Nine-Tails sneered in the mental space: It seems that some self-righteous schemer is unaware that Orochimaru's cursed seal contains... Its taunts abruptly stopped, because the trajectories of everyone's chakra flow suddenly showed a strange synchronization—as if an invisible hand was plucking the strings of fate.

Orochimaru slowly emerged from the blood mist of the reverse summoning array, his pale fingers tracing the wound on Sasuke's abdomen.

The splattered blood suddenly congealed into serpentine runes, binding the crumbling chakra chains. How pathetic, Sasuke. His golden, vertical pupils reflected Black Zetsu's split form, but this self-proclaimed director seemed to have forgotten that there were people in the audience studying the script.

Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly stopped bleeding, and he noticed that the edge of the scroll peeking out from Orochimaru's sleeve was glowing with a dark purple light that was the same as that of Black Zetsu.

From the cracks in the ground that Tsunade shattered, the slug's split body was quietly wrapping chakra threads around Orochimaru's ankle.

Three years ago, I found the Kaguya Ritual Text in the ruins of the Land of Rain, which recorded a contract even older than that of the Sage of Six Paths. Suddenly, a reverse-rotating tomoe appeared on Orochimaru's tongue, and the curse mark on the back of his neck began to ooze a substance similar to Black Zetsu's asphalt. When the roots of the Divine Tree pierce the ley lines of the Five Great Nations, a consciousness slumbering in the Pure Land will flow backward with the chakra...

Suddenly, all twelve afterimages of Black Zetsu covered their ears at the same time, and ripples appeared on their asphalt-like surfaces.

Naruto noticed that the wood grain on the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak was fading, and the tomoe in Sasuke's Rinnegan began to spin uncontrollably.

They looked at each other across the shattered battlefield, and suddenly they both recalled the tremor of bloodline resonance during that fateful battle in the Valley of the End.

Now! Kurama tore apart the fourth chain in the mental space, and golden-orange chakra, carrying Sage Mode's natural energy, soared into the sky.

Orochimaru's cursed seal runes appeared on the surface of Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton, and the sharp cry of Chidori danced within the purple flames.

The moment the two forces collided in mid-air, spacetime seemed to be torn open by tiny cracks, and a power that transcended Yin-Yang Release pierced through Black Zetsu's chest like a comet.

Black Zetsu's body shattered into tens of thousands of black spores in mid-air, each spore carrying fragments of memories from different ninjas.

The lightning release punch unleashed by the Raikage suddenly changed direction, evaporating half of the spores into a burnt, foul-smelling mist.

But the core of the dark purple substance transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for the faintly visible peak on the northern horizon—the summit of that cloud-shrouded mountain, where a huge shadow resembling the roots of a divine tree could be vaguely seen writhing.

That's... the direction of Takigakure Village? Temari's three-star fan whipped up a hurricane, but it couldn't keep up with the speed of the flowing light.

She noticed that Gaara's Eyes of Sand were forming a sealing array in the air, but the sand grains would mysteriously change their trajectory every time they approached the light.

Shikamaru's shadow suddenly extended into a strategic map on the ground. His blood-stained finger pressed heavily on the location representing the northern mountain peak: three days ago, the intelligence team from Kumogakure reported that a halo similar to Infinite Tsukuyomi appeared there.

However, according to Mr. Inoichi's perception, the chakra flow in the entire area is... inverted.

Hinata's Byakugan suddenly emitted a pale golden light, and her trembling fingers gripped Naruto's wrist guard: the rock structure of that mountain was reassembling at a speed of three kilometers per hour, like...like a living being breathing. The Caged Bird Seal on her neck suddenly lit up with an unprecedented blue light, the seal on the Hyuga branch family was automatically released, and the unique star rings of the Tenseigan appeared in her pale pupils.

Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh as his body began to disintegrate into small white-scaled snakes: what a fascinating speed of evolution.

However, you all had better catch up with that thing before moonrise... His voice faded with the disappearing figure, and when the inverted moon overlapped with the roots of the divine tree, certain truths buried by the Sage of Six Paths himself would be revealed...

Kakashi suddenly slashed his palm with a kunai and smeared the blood on his headband, which he had just put back on.

His Mangekyou Sharingan, amidst the blood-red light, revealed the space-time patterns Obito had once demonstrated: spatial folds remained at the twelve o'clock and three o'clock positions. His bloodied fingers drew intersecting lines in the air, but the true pursuit route was...

A tree shadow at the nine o'clock position! Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly saw through the disguise of a certain spore clone, and the Kusanagi sword, wrapped in Amaterasu black flames, shot through the air.

Naruto threw out kunai with the Flying Thunder God Technique style almost simultaneously. The point where the two attacks met suddenly burst out with a blinding white light, forcing the black spores hidden in the light and shadow to reveal their true form.

Tsunade's Yin Seal was finally fully charged. She channeled the chakra of the Hundred Healings Technique into the ground beneath her feet: "There is an abnormal convergence point of natural energy fifteen miles to the southwest. Everyone, prepare..." Before she finished speaking, the entire battlefield was suddenly uprooted. Hundreds of tons of earth and rocks, enveloped in green chakra, were launched like giant catapults in the direction where the light disappeared.

In the instant of super-G acceleration, Hinata's Byakugan suddenly saw that the chakra of the earth veins within a radius of a hundred miles was flowing in reverse.

The tree debris destroyed by the aftermath of the battle miraculously reassembled into giant, palm-shaped branches under the influence of some force.

As the last rays of sunlight were swallowed by the horizon, Naruto, who was at the forefront, suddenly smelled a sweet, cloying scent, similar to the buds of the Divine Tree, mixed with the damp mist.

As the pursuing troops swept through the burning forest, Temari's three-star fan was suddenly deflected by an invisible force.
