Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

The semi-transparent humanoid figure was shrouded in a golden chakra cloak, but its face was covered with the same cracks and patterns as Byakuya.

Raikage roared and plunged the remaining lightning chains into the phantom's heart, but amidst the dazzling lightning, the sound of the chains snapping rang out.

Senior, retreat quickly! The tailed beast chakra spewing from Naruto's seven orifices suddenly took on a dark yellow hue, tinged with sand grains; the sand patterns and Kurama were...

The white-robed phantom behind the boy suddenly solidified, and the magatama patterns of the Sage of Six Paths strangely overlapped with Bai Ye's bandaged attire.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly flew out of his hand, and the fragments of the Yata Mirror on the hilt reflected an astonishing scene—the tombstones of the Kazekage of Sunagakure were melting, forming five pitch-black coffins that perfectly corresponded to the sand giants.

Rasa's Magnet Release seal requires a living container.

The grains of sand coalesced into a translucent afterimage of the white night, with half a broken ninja sword stuck in his chest. The hilt of the sword was the Dragon Vein Key that Naruto had seen in Loulan.

As the remnant soul pressed the key completely into its heart, the corpses of the five daimyo in the desert suddenly trembled in a resonant manner, and the puppet strings binding the tailed beasts all turned towards the remnant soul of the White Night.

Now! Byakuya's remnant soul grabbed Naruto's sand-transformed right arm and pressed it against his chest, using your Yang Release chakra to envelop my Yin Seal!

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly stung, and he saw an eclipse-like halo erupt from the point where the two made contact.

The remnant soul of Byakuya transformed into quicksand that seeped into Naruto's Six Paths Outer Cloak, while the yin-yang seal formed by Yin-yang Release simultaneously appeared on the foreheads of the sand giants that were about to take shape.

The six phantom figures emitted a shrill whistle that shattered the rock layers, and the five floating corpses of daimyo suddenly pieced together to form an altar.

The moment the sealing array on Naruto's arm was fully formed, Sasuke's Susanoo arrow and the Raikage's life-burning Lightning Release simultaneously struck the center of the altar, and an illusion of the collapsing Hidden Leaf Village appeared in the shockwave of the explosion.

The key is not an object... The last sound of the White Night mingled with the sandstorm, as the five great nations chose each other...

When the thunder suddenly subsided, Naruto stared blankly at the outline of the Konoha headband that appeared in his palm.

The Yin-Yang seal, which had not yet solidified, suddenly rippled, and some ancient fluctuations, surpassing the chakra of the tailed beasts, surged from the depths of the earth's veins.

Sasuke's Rinnegan caught a glimpse of chains flashing at the edge of the desert, and he was about to warn them—

The shrieks left by the six phantoms suddenly materialized into shockwaves, slamming Naruto heavily into the crystallizing sand dunes.

In the instant before he was plunged into darkness, he vaguely saw the remains of five sand giants reassembling, and in the flowing lava eyes of reincarnation, he saw a bandaged figure forming hand seals.

Chapter 416 Konoha in Peril

The sand grains made a crisp sound like shattering glass the moment they crystallized.

Naruto's body was half-submerged in the transparent crystal, and the chakra flames of the Six Paths Cloak were an ominous purplish-black.

He stared at the faint Konoha headband pattern on his palm, the unfinished words of Byakuya still echoing in his ears before he vanished.

When the five major powers choose to interact with each other—

Suddenly, scorching sand and gravel surged up a ten-meter-high wall of waves, and the mysterious girl's silver hair brushed past Naruto's ear.

She slapped her palms onto the surface of the crystallized sand dune, and the cyan clan emblem lit up along the meridians on her arms: The gap in the barrier is three hundred feet to the southeast!

Those sand patterns are eroding the chakra nodes of the barrier!

Sasuke's Rinnegan bled.

He saw that the diamond-shaped barrier that originally covered Konoha was being eroded by countless golden grains of sand, each grain of sand bearing the unique Tai Chi pattern of Yin-Yang Release.

Raikage's charred corpse lay across the edge of the altar, his right hand, still burning with blue-white lightning, remained in the hand seal position.

Using the Tailed Beast Ball... Just as Naruto gathered his chakra, the Six Paths Cloak suddenly twisted into chains and wrapped around his neck.

From the depths of the dunes came the lingering sighs of Bai Ye, the quicksand that had seeped into his body was rewriting the sealing formula.

Rasa's remnant soul seeped out from the crack in the altar, and a semi-transparent hand formed from gold dust gripped Naruto's wrist: Choose Kurama or me?

When the Fourth Hokage used the Reaper Death Seal...

Shut up! Sasuke's Chidori spear suddenly pierced through the base of the altar.

The six-pointed star pattern on his left eye spun wildly, revealing countless wandering sand runes within the sealing array on Naruto's chest: these Yin-Yang Release techniques were synchronizing with the ley lines of the five great nations!

What Baiye wants is not destruction, but reconstruction!

Ebizo's cold laugh came from the pile of Sunagakure puppets.

The Third Kazekage's puppet floated above his head, and Magnet Release sand transformed into countless chains with barbs: "Back when the Fourth Kazekage sealed Shukaku inside Gaara, his eyes were exactly the same as yours now, Uzumaki boy."

Naruto sensed that Kurama's chakra was being diluted by some kind of ancient energy.

Tree root-like patterns appeared on his right arm; it was the Yang energy bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths turning into sand.

Suddenly, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the crystallized sand dunes, and the altar made up of five daimyo corpses began to absorb moonlight.

Sasuke! The mysterious girl suddenly tore open her right shoulder clothing, revealing a clan emblem that shared the same origin as the sealing array on Naruto's chest.

She bit her fingertip and drew a blood array in the sand: using the resonance of the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans...

Sasuke's Chidori pierced Naruto's heart without warning.

This was not an attack, but rather the infiltration of lightning chakra into the sealing array by transforming it into countless fine threads.

The Truth-Seeking Ball on Naruto's back trembled violently, revealing a dense pattern of sand trails—those golden lines were weaving a brand new set of world rules.

So that's how it is... Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly reflected the scene at the end of the desert.

Countless phantom chains are rising from beneath the capitals of the five great nations, weaving together in the night sky to form a Tai Chi diagram covering the entire continent: Bai Ye intends to use the greed of the five great nations to return the world to the chaos before the creation of the Six Realms!

Luo Sha's remnant soul let out a painful roar, and his sand-gold body kept switching between solid and illusory forms.

The sealing technique he placed on Shukaku before his death is now being reverse-analyzed through the sand patterns within Naruto's body: Quickly sever the earth vein resonance!

Those sand giants want to...

The six illusory figures at the top of the altar suddenly emitted a piercing shriek that pierced the heavens and earth.

The clan emblem array of the mysterious girl was shattered by the sound waves, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton.

The sealing array on Naruto's chest burst forth with a sun-like light, and at the center of the light, a vague human figure was vaguely taking shape.

Father...? Naruto vaguely saw Minato Namikaze's afterimage flickering in the light.

But the next second, the facial contours of the six phantoms began to distort and recombine, and a tremor originating from the depths of their blood swept through their entire bodies.

The Nine-Tails' chakra within him suddenly boiled, and the Tailed Beast Cloak transformed into crimson-gold flames that pierced the sky.

The remains of the Sand Giants floated and reassembled in the intense light, while the Tai Chi seals on their foreheads pointed towards the Land of Fire.

The mysterious girl's silver hair was blown about by the strong wind, and her blood-stained fingertips pressed against Naruto's forehead: Now!

With our blood...

The words that were not yet finished were interrupted by a roar coming from the depths of the earth.

Sasuke's Rinnegan caught a glimpse of a bandaged figure forming hand seals deep within the sandstorm; the gestures were clearly the starting stance for the Sand Forbidden Technique: Amber Purification Bottle.

Just as he was about to offer a warning, the six illusory figures suddenly unleashed a pressure powerful enough to crush mountains.

In the instant the intense light engulfed everything, Naruto saw five golden threads suddenly extend from the Leaf Village pattern on his palm, piercing straight into the heart of the Six Paths phantom that was forming.

A mournful cry that seemed to echo across a thousand years resounded in my ears, mingling with the lingering echoes before the white night vanished, and the final, unfinished warning from Luo Sha's lingering soul.

As the light faded, only five bottomless craters remained in the desert, arranged in a pentagram shape around the completely crystallized altar.

The chakra traces of the bandaged figure vanished without a trace, as if some being had deliberately erased the proof of its existence.

Chapter 417 The Six Paths True Body

Within the seven-colored halo refracted by the crystallized altar, the outlines of the six illusory figures gradually solidified.

The moment the gold dust crumbled away, Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly contracted—on that face, which bore a striking resemblance to the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, the facial features belonging to the daimyo of the five great nations were now writhing.

The Nine-Tailed Demon's chakra purity was just right. The phantom raised its hand to catch the falling bandage fragments, its hoarse laughter causing the crystal pillar to crack.

The nine chakra tails behind Naruto suddenly straightened, and the tailed beast cloak peeled off on its own, condensing into blood-red tomoe in mid-air.

In the instant the white robe billowed, a semi-transparent figure broke free from the back of Naruto's neck.

The remnant soul of Bai Ye's fingertips brushed across the surface of the magatama, and a dark purple sealing array spread like a spider web: the Orochi Seal implanted three years ago could not be dissolved by mere Yin-Yang Escape. His shattered pupils swept over the faintly visible vortex clan emblem beneath the girl's hem, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

boom!

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor exploded with countless arcs of electricity, and azure chains wrapped around iron sand pierced the phantom's chest. The Sand Village's Amber Purification Bottle requires offerings of five different elemental attributes. Blood seeped from every pore of his body, yet he pushed his Lightning Release chakra to its limit; the dragon vein aura within the crack... that was the coordinate of the fifth key!

Amidst the deafening roar of breaking chains, the Raikage's body transformed into golden particles.

Sasuke suddenly swung his Kusanagi sword, the blade piercing through the particle stream and into the crack in the altar—the originally complete sealing array suddenly split into five pieces, revealing the illusion of Konoha Village burning below.

So that's how it is. The mysterious girl tore open her blood-stained sleeve, revealing that the Uzumaki clan crest perfectly matched the crack on Naruto's chest. The Karma seal that Byakuya had implanted in the Five Great Nations had always corresponded to the Five Kage, not the Daimyo. Her blood-stained fingertips pressed against the sand patterns that had erupted on Naruto's chest, and the gold dust collided with the Nine-Tails' chakra, creating black and white flames.

The six illusory figures suddenly split into five bodies.

The left clone wears the coral crown of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, while its right arm is wrapped with the Magnet Release chain of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth; the one in the middle wears the thundercloud necklace of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, while holding the Shukaku gourd of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind in its palm.

Five voices overlapped and roared: The vessel of the Moon Eye should be nourished with the chakra of the Shadow!

Don't be fooled by illusions! The remnant soul of Byakuya suddenly merged into Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak, and the nine crimson-gold tails were instantly plated with dark purple patterns. The real key is... His voice stopped abruptly, and golden threads suddenly pierced out from the sand pattern on Naruto's right arm, precisely wrapping around the vortex clan emblem around the girl's neck.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly shed tears of blood.

Within the dimension covered by his eye power, the incomplete chakra of the five Kage emerged from the bottom of the five giant pits—dust particles from the Third Tsuchikage, acid mist crystals from Mei Terumi, and even fragments of his own father Fugaku's Sharingan, which were now being injected into Naruto's body along the sand veins.

The scene of the deaths of the five great daimyo... A girl coughed up blood and drew a pentagram in the sand, but it was just a projection created by Lord Byakuya using the Flying Thunder God Technique. The real sacrificial array was actually... She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the complete Konoha Village that appeared in the crack on Naruto's chest, with the Hokage Rocks of past generations seeping blood and tears under the moonlight.

The six clones simultaneously formed the Seal of the Snake, and five blood-red altars suddenly rose from the desert ley lines.

Naruto felt a strange pulling force coming from his heart, as if countless sand hands were tearing at his ventricle. The Nine-Tails' chakra and Byakuya's sealing array began to merge in reverse.

In his blurred vision, Sasuke's Kusanagi sword reflected his gradually crystallizing chest, while the girl's Uzumaki clan crest had turned into a golden hourglass, the fine sand falling into a bottomless dark rift.

As the last grain of gold seeped into his heart, Naruto suddenly saw the truth at the bottom of the sealing array—it wasn't the mark of the Eye of the Moon at all, but the outline of a boy curled up in the darkness, with two red dots on his forehead flickering with his heartbeat.

Bai Ye's final sigh, mingled with the Nine-Tails' roar, exploded in his ears. He felt the sand-like markings on his right arm suddenly become scalding hot, as if a thousand burning chakra needles were piercing his heart along his blood vessels...

Chapter 418 Don't touch those gold dust!

The moonlight reflected eerie ripples on the blood-red altar.

Naruto staggered and knelt on the top of the sand dune, the sand patterns on his right arm moving across his skin as if they were alive.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly appeared at his throat, the reflection of the sealing array spinning in his Mangekyou Sharingan: Look closely, that gold dust is eroding your heart valves!

The Sand Village girl's fingertips suddenly pierced through her own chest, pulling out half of the puppet string wrapped with talismans.

She pressed the blood-stained thread against the crack in Naruto's chest, and the blood and tears seeping from the Hokage Rocks of past generations suddenly transformed into liquid chakra and flowed back. "The chakra tree seed that Lord Byakuya cultivated for thirty years..." Her voice was abruptly interrupted by the surging sandstorm, buried beneath the Konoha Memorial Stone!

The hems of the robes of the six phantom figures fluttered without wind, and the five floating corpses of daimyo suddenly opened their black hole-like mouths.

Naruto felt a sharp pain, a mixture of ice and fire, shoot through his spine—nine chakra tails burst out of his body uncontrollably, but solidified into translucent amber the moment they came into contact with the moonlight.

He suddenly ripped off his headband, revealing two faint red dots on his forehead: So this was the real seal coordinate!

Don't touch that gold dust! The roar of the remnant soul of the White Night shook the air.

Naruto, however, grabbed Sasuke's sword blade with his other hand, letting his blood soak into the sealing runes of the Kusanagi sword.

The instant the sand patterns in the Sharingan's reflection overlapped with the cursed seal on the sword, he saw clearly the outline of a boy curled up deep within his heart—it was clearly himself at twelve years old, being sewn together by countless puppet threads in the center of a blood-red pentagram.

The girl from Sunagakure suddenly tore off the bandage around her left eye, revealing a Rinnegan with an hourglass pattern.

She plunged her fingertips into her own eyeballs, pulling out three chakra chains flowing with golden sand: the bloodline of the Uzumaki descendant could temporarily freeze time and space, but it required the Nine-Tails' yang chakra as a fuse! The moment the chains pierced Naruto's chest, Sasuke's Susanoo arrows had already pierced through the three blood-red altars.

Now! The remnant soul of Byakuya transformed into a streak of light and crashed into Naruto's right arm.

The hands of the six illusory figures, which were forming hand seals, suddenly twisted into the shape of tree roots, and the desert veins emitted a crisp sound like bones breaking.

Naruto felt molten lava gushing from the crack in his heart—it wasn't the Nine-Tails' chakra, but a torrent of chakra carrying fragments of memories from Konoha's past Kage-level warriors.

Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly bleeds as he sees the true form of the sand fragments: each grain of gold dust is a miniature Flying Thunder God Technique formula.

The moment Naruto plunged the sand-pattern shard into his heart, all five altars simultaneously spewed out pillars of chakra carrying the souls of the daimyo.

The six phantoms emitted inhuman shrieks, their golden patterns being stained black by the Byakuya chakra overflowing from Naruto's body.

The Rasengan needs to be synchronized with the vibration frequency of the Shikotsumyaku! The Sand Village girl coughed up bloody sand mixed with fragments of internal organs and placed her palm on Sasuke's back.

Her white hair withered at a visible rate, but the puppet runes that appeared in her palm were precisely embedded in the Rasengan's chakra circuit.

When the spinning energy ball touched Naruto's chest, the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Nine-Tails' chakra began to collide and annihilate each other at the quantum level.

Bai Ye's remnant soul suddenly reached out and grabbed the necks of the six phantoms, and two completely different sealing techniques burst forth with intense light at their point of contact.

In Naruto's shattered pupils, an illusion appeared of all the Konoha ninjas simultaneously forming the Silent Hand Seal.
