Hinata, who was in Naruto's arms, suddenly trembled violently.
Her pure white pupils reflected a suffocating truth: those spatial nodes marked as exits were now weaving a brand new spider web beneath their feet.
Each thread was wrapped with spores splitting off from Black Zetsu, and in the deepest shadows, a pulse even more ancient than the Ten-Tails was resonating with the Nine-Tails' chakra.
The sucking sound coming from underground suddenly intensified a hundredfold, like millions of sharp teeth gnawing at the marrow of the planet.
As Killer Bee prepared to bombard the source of the sound with the Tailed Beast Ball, blood beads began to seep uncontrollably from the suction cups on his tentacles—those blood beads also twisted into spider shapes in the air, perfectly overlapping with the marks Hinata had created earlier.
Seven scarlet points of light suddenly exploded in the black mist, like the compound eyes of a poisonous spider opening.
Just as Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique entangled the two bone spurs, Kakashi groaned – a bowl-sized flower of blood bloomed on the back of the silver-haired Jonin, and three dark purple tentacles pierced through his right chest, with half a burning sealing scroll still hanging at the end.
"Gravity Trap..." The blood beads that Kakashi coughed up condensed into strange hexagons in the air. He pushed Shikamaru towards Naruto with his backhand. "It will appear in the southeast corner in thirty seconds..." Before he finished speaking, more tentacles gushed out from the cracks in the earth's veins, turning into a thorny cage covered with barbs that surrounded the two of them.
Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly contracted.
He saw half a pale face emerge from the depths of the black mist, and wriggling tentacles were drawing silver-blue chakra from Kakashi's wound.
A fragment of memory suddenly pierced his nerves—when Team 7 carried out their first S-rank mission, this always lazy man stood in front of Naruto in the same way.
"All things are attracted by heaven!"
Enraged chakra surged forth, and Sasuke's Kusanagi sword, wreathed in black flames, cleaved through the thorns.
Black Zetsu let out a shrill cry like a baby's wail, and the severed tentacles turned into liquid as they fell, climbing up Sasuke's wrist like venomous snakes along the sword's blade.
The patterns of the Rinnegan spun wildly deep within his pupils. Sasuke suddenly grabbed the venom that was corroding his skin, and the Chidori Spear that erupted from his palm evaporated it completely.
"You defective product..." The boy gritted his teeth, blood seeping from his mouth, the purple ribs of his Susanoo faintly visible behind him, "Do you even deserve to touch the honor of the Uchiha?"
A hoarse, sneer came from within the black mist.
Countless human faces rose from the ground, piecing together a completely black body.
Kakashi's blood was dripping from the bone spur on his right hand, while his left hand held a pulsating amber-colored substance—Yin-attribute chakra stripped from Shikamaru's shadow.
"What a touching bond between master and disciple." Black Zetsu's voice seemed to whisper like a million people at once, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns. "But you should thank me, because you'll soon be reunited with the reincarnations of Indra from all the past..."
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils suddenly flickered in the shadows.
He flicked his tongue, coiling around the Raikage's impending punch, his hoarse voice laced with amusement: "You reckless cloud leopard, didn't you notice the flow of chakra beneath your feet?" With his gesture, everyone finally noticed the blood seeping into the cracks in the ground, converging along some ancient array pattern towards the depths of the black hole.
Hinata's Byakugan suddenly rippled.
She staggered, grabbing Naruto's sleeve, cold sweat trickling down her neck and into her blood-stained collar: "Those spider marks... are rebuilding the chakra pathways... the entire labyrinth is alive..."
As if in response to her whisper, the rock formations within a radius of a hundred miles suddenly emitted a muffled rumble.
When Sasuke's Susanoo claws were only half an inch away from Black Zetsu's throat, the ground collapsed into a vortex-shaped abyss without warning.
A darkness thicker than night itself surged from the earth's core, carrying with it a suffocating, decaying stench.
"Back off!" Onoki's Dust Release barrier enveloped everyone at the last second.
The old man's long, white eyebrows were half-cut off by the shockwave. His age-spotted hand pressed firmly against Tsunade's palm, which was channeling chakra: "This isn't a naturally formed cave... Look at the patterns on the rock walls..."
The Raikage's Lightning Release armor erupted with blinding lightning.
In the brief moment of light, people saw that the exposed rock layers at the collapse site were densely covered with cuneiform characters that shared the same origin as the Uchiha Stele.
Even more chilling is that the text is multiplying and recombining at a visible speed, like living vines spreading towards the center of the black hole.
"The Sage of Six Paths' sealing technique..." Gaara's Sand Eyes shattered in the gale, and he manipulated the sand to catch Shikamaru, who was being blown away by the blast wave. "But something is altering the structure of the inscription..."
Black Zetsu's maniacal laughter intertwined with the sound of rock shattering, creating a nightmarish symphony.
His body was decomposing into countless spores, surging into the abyss with the air currents: "Savor this surprise! When the tide of chakra engulfs the starlight, you will weep and beg to become nourishment for the Divine Tree..."
Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly detected an unusual fluctuation.
At the edge of the black hole, a semi-transparent figure was slowly rising from the amber-colored slime—blood was seeping from the Rinnegan on the person's forehead, and cracks similar to those of Obito appeared on the pale skin.
But before he could see clearly, the entire space was suddenly torn apart and deformed by a terrifying gravitational force.
"Hold on tight!" Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra transformed into golden chains that bound everyone together.
However, the chains made a cracking sound as soon as they touched the edge of the black hole, breaking off section by section like sugarcane being gnawed by invisible sharp teeth.
Hinata's Gentle Fist chakra suddenly formed a spherical barrier, and her pure white pupils reflected a suffocating truth—everyone was wrapped in spiderweb-like black chakra threads, all of which extended towards the bottom of the abyss.
Killer Bee's eight-tailed tentacles suddenly went berserk out of control.
Under his horrified gaze, the crimson tailed beast's outer garment was stripped away by the black hole into a liquid state, turning into a rain of blood that fell into the abyss.
"Uncle!" Naruto's shadow clone had just grabbed the horn of the demon when it saw an even more terrifying sight—the falling blood droplets condensed into toothed rings in mid-air, like the mouthparts of some ancient creature beginning to rotate in reverse.
"Don't look directly into the abyss!" Kakashi's hoarse warning, mixed with blood and foam, rang out.
The wound on his chest had transformed into a bizarre, bark-like texture, yet it still used its divine power to distort the trajectory of a falling boulder. "The gravitational field is rewriting cognition... cough cough... the five senses are at work..."
Before she finished speaking, Temari's three-star fan suddenly flew out of her hand and into the black hole.
Just as she was about to be dragged into the abyss by inertia, Gaara's Sand Hand and Shikamaru's Shadow Rope simultaneously wrapped around her waist.
Kazekage's Sand Eyes trembled violently: "Sister...don't look...don't listen..."
Orochimaru's snakes are frantically burning themselves.
He licked his burned fingertips, his golden vertical pupils shining terrifyingly: "So that's how it is... This isn't a spatial collapse..." Clay Bird, accompanied by Deidara's maniacal laughter, surfaced from the depths of his memory, and those long-forgotten Akatsuki intelligence records suddenly connected into a terrifying conclusion.
As the first piece of rock that had collapsed began to float in reverse, Hinata, who was in Naruto's arms, suddenly convulsed violently.
The girl's Byakugan gazed uncontrollably into the deepest part of the abyss, tears mixed with blood streaming down her cheeks: "Naruto-kun... there's... another Nine-Tails' chakra there..."
The entire space began to tilt.
Chapter 336 Those Who Never Learn to Give Up on Useless People
The gravitational tide gushing from the abyss condensed the sand into thousands of reverse waterfalls, and Onoki's Dust Release barrier cracked with spiderweb-like light marks amidst the void's tremors.
Naruto's right arm, with its Tailed Beast Cloak wrapped in black rods, burst forth and plunged into the rock, while his left hand gripped Sasuke's bleeding wrist tightly.
The Nine-Tails' chakra surged along the point where the two were clasped, drawing out a molten golden band of light in the space tilted at a thirty-five-degree angle.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto roared, bracing his knee against the cracked ground. Sasuke's Kusanagi sword was stuck in a crack in the Lightning Release barrier created by the Raikage.
Suddenly, three of the puppet strings manipulated by Sunagakure's advisor Chiyo snapped. Ebizo grabbed his sister by the back of her collar and rolled to the back of the floating giant rock, his ten fingers still forming hand seals: Magnet Release: Iron Sand Law!
As Black Zetsu materialized from the distorted light, Kakashi was using his final Kamui to move a falling stalactite pillar.
The moment the dark purple blade pierced his left shoulder, the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor flickered for 0.3 seconds due to chakra disorder.
Tsunade's Yin Seal on her forehead shone brightly, but her medical chakra couldn't keep up with the rate at which the wound was becoming woody.
You'll never learn to give up on useless people. Black Zetsu's viscous voice was wrapped in some kind of high-frequency vibration, and Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique suddenly disintegrated into ink when it touched the hem of his clothes.
Gaara's Eye of Sand exploded into two clouds of blood mist, while Temari's Three Star Fan fragments were reassembling into a dangerous polygon within a gravitational vortex.
Naruto felt something suddenly grip his heart as he put the Tailed Beast Cloak.
When he saw Hinata's Byakugan still uncontrollably gazing into the abyss, the wedge-shaped mark appearing on the girl's neck and Kurama's roar in the mental space created a double sting. Damn it—the nine chakra tails burst through the barrier, and Kaguya's face in Sage Mode lit up with the magatama-like light spots unique to Kaguya.
Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly gushed forth blood tears.
As Naruto transformed into a golden-black meteor and shattered the three floating rock layers, he used Amenotejikara to swap Kakashi into the Raikage's Lightning Release barrier.
Orochimaru's snakes formed a sealing array in the ashes of the burning, and the broken wings of the clay bird suddenly flapped out from the crack in his memory.
Is this the taste of mom? In the instant Black Zetsu was filled with doubt, Naruto's bone fist had already pierced through his chest cavity.
The Truth-Seeking Balls formed by Yin-Yang Release exploded into black lightning between the two. Hinata's Gentle Fist Chakra had somehow wrapped around Naruto's elbow, burning away the traces of the Ten-Tails' origin's erosion into blue smoke.
Amidst the deafening roar of collapsing space, Sasuke's Susanoo arrows and Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball simultaneously sealed off the east and west sides.
When Black Zetsu transformed into a fluid and tried to seep into the cracks in the rock, he discovered that every piece of broken stone had the chakra mark of the Uchiha fan floating on its surface—a mark Sasuke had made with Amaterasu three days earlier at the border of the Land of Lightning.
"You think I only hold grudges?" Sasuke wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, and the ripples of his Rinnegan made the gravity lines of the entire cave clearly visible.
Orochimaru's snake formation suddenly contracted into the Four Symbols Seal formation, pinning Black Zetsu's last escape route to the Fourth Kazekage's gold sand barrier.
Suddenly, a roar from the depths of the abyss came from the nine tails of the same origin.
As Naruto raised his Lava Release: Rasenshuriken to illuminate everyone's blood-stained faces, the floating rock layers suddenly began to resonate in sync, and a wave older than the tailed beast chakra was tearing open a crack in reality.
In Hinata's Byakugan vision, the fragments of Temari's broken fan formed a prophetic star map, while Kakashi's gradually wooden hand suddenly grasped a scroll that surfaced from the depths of his memory.
Black Zetsu let out a shriek amidst the vortex of Yin-Yang Release colliding.
Chapter 337 Unique Shared Killing Ash Bone Substance
His viscous body was scorched with honeycomb-like holes by the Truth-Seeking Balls, and four gray-white giant snakes suddenly rose from Orochimaru's sealing array, biting his limbs by their tails.
Sasuke's Rinnegan erupted with an unprecedented purple light, and the cage woven from gravity lines pulled back all the black fluids that were trying to seep into the cracks in the rock.
"Dust Release: Particle Style!" Onoki's roar echoed across the dome.
The diamond-shaped barrier enveloped Black Zetsu's last remaining body, and together with the Fourth Kazekage's gold sand barrier, it turned into atomic-level dust.
The floating rock strata suddenly trembled as if in anguish, and the gravitational tide spewing from the abyss crevice turned into a fine rain.
Naruto staggered and knelt on one knee, revealing his back covered in burns as the tailed beast cloak came off.
Sasuke's Kusanagi sword pierced the rock to stabilize himself, and the six-tomoe gem in his Rinnegan was slowly dissipating.
Hinata's Byakugan suddenly caught sight of the chakra afterimage floating where Black Zetsu had vanished—a scroll woven from countless fragments of memory.
"This is..." Kakashi's petrified left hand suddenly regained sensation, and a sealing technique automatically unfolded in his palm.
The floating scroll of memories suddenly unfolded, with Kaguya's cries before being sealed and scenes of the Sage of Six Paths creating the Ninja Cult flashing alternately.
As the scene of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha battling at the Valley of the End flashed by, the fragments of Temari's three-star fan suddenly formed a complete star map and projected onto the rock wall.
"So the tailed beasts we were fighting over..." The Raikage's Lightning Release armor crackled with chaotic electricity as he looked at the projection of the Sage of Six Paths splitting the Ten-Tails, "were just fragments of an even more ancient calamity."
Gravel fell softly in the suddenly silent space.
Granny Chiyo's puppet strings unconsciously twirled between her fingers as she gazed at the Shukaku crest that suddenly appeared in Ebizo's hand, a bitter expression creeping onto her aged face.
The Uchiha fan mark on the surface of the floating rock layer began to fade, replaced by ancient runes from the Ninja Clan era.
Naruto suddenly felt someone jump into his arms.
The sandalwood scent mixed with the smell of blood and rust from Hinata's hair filled her nostrils, and the warmth of the chakra from her Gentle Fist still lingered on her trembling fingertips.
The wedge-shaped mark on the girl's neck was fading, but the bulging veins around her Byakugan showed that she was still forcibly seeing through the residual chakra flow of the abyss.
“It’s all over.” Naruto’s hand hovered in mid-air for two seconds before finally gently landing on Hinata’s back.
His blood-stained headband brushed against the girl's ear, and he felt her heartbeat resonating with his own through his ninja vest.
Sasuke turned his head away and snorted softly. As he sheathed his Kusanagi sword, it collided with the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor, sparks flying.
Killer Bee suddenly broke the silence with a rap: "Yo~ Love Chakra shines brighter than the Tailed Beast Ball~" His broken sunglasses reflected the fragments of the sealing array that Orochimaru was collecting, and the Eight-Tails' tentacles wrapped around Shikamaru who was about to fall.
"Shouldn't cherry blossoms be falling at a time like this?" Temari kicked away the rocks at her feet, but the broken ribs of her three-star fan snagged Gaara's Sand Armor.
Silently, Kazekage manipulated the sand to lift her sister's weapon, and blood that had not yet dried seeped from the cracks in the Sand Shadow headband.
Kakashi suddenly started coughing violently.
The kunai that fell from the Kamui dimension floated in the medical chakra. He stared at the fading sealing formula in his palm and muttered to himself, "So Obito was at Kannabi Bridge back then..." Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted him with a roar: "Medical team! Carry those chakra-depleted idiots out!"
Just as everyone relaxed their guard, a rumbling sound of collapsing rock layers came from the bottom of the abyss.
Seven colorful chakra pillars rose from where the dust-escape barrier dissipated, intertwining in the air to form a giant Tenseigan pattern.
Hinata's Byakugan uncontrollably overflowed with tears as she saw the magatama mark belonging to the Sage of Six Paths being reconstructed beneath Naruto's torn sleeve.
"Watch out!" Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly turned to the northwest.
The resonant frequency of the floating rock layer suddenly changed, and a wave that surpassed the chakra of the tailed beasts pierced through the thirty-kilometer rock layer, tearing a trembling gap in everyone's sensory nerves.
Killer Bee's Eight-Tails tentacles instantly hardened into battle mode, and the Raikage's Lightning Release armor burst forth with blue and white arcs of electricity.
Orochimaru abruptly stopped collecting the seal fragments, his golden vertical pupils shrinking to pinpoints: "This chakra... is even stronger than Kaguya's..."
The unfinished warning was swallowed up by even more violent shocks.
Kakashi's newly repaired Mangekyou Sharingan displayed a terrifying image—deep within the dissipating abyss rift, some kind of dark matter, somewhere between solid and liquid, was devouring light.
In Hinata's Byakugan vision, the flow of chakra throughout the entire underground cave began to twist and collapse in that direction.
Naruto instinctively shielded Hinata behind him, and the Nine-Tails' chakra instinctively enveloped his companion.
