Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

A certain resonance originating from his bloodline made him instinctively grasp his heart, and the Nine-Tails' chakra and sand patterns erupted with a dazzling light at the point of contact.

Now! Rasa's remnant soul suddenly grabbed Naruto's wrist and forcefully pressed half of the puppet's heart into the crack in the key on his chest.

The mysterious girl's clan crest chain snapped, transforming into twelve chakra ribbons that bound Naruto's limbs.

The moment blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, the six golden lines on Naruto's back suddenly rotated counterclockwise, shredding all the puppet threads surging from Ebizo's body.

But those seemingly broken puppet threads suddenly seeped into the earth's veins.

The entire desert began to tremble violently, and five mournful cries from the depths of the earth pierced through the sandstorm, causing cracks to appear in Sasuke's Susanoo armor.

Naruto looked down at his chest and saw that the puppet heart he had just injected was colliding fiercely with the Nine-Tails' chakra. The sealing array, which had been rotating clockwise, began to tremble slightly.

When the mysterious girl pressed her blood-stained clan emblem against his chest, Naruto suddenly realized that his chakra was strangely resonating with the earth's veins.

The shredded puppet threads reassembled underground, forming five chakra vortexes that wrapped around the daimyo's magnificent robes.

Sasuke's Amaterasu Fire flickered in the sandstorm, reflecting the six phantom images that were gradually taking shape in the cracks of the hourglass.

Deep within his chest cavity, the puppet heart of the Fourth Kazekage suddenly beat.

The five keys, which were originally fixed by the remnant soul of Raikage, are now casting distorted shadows at the edge of the sealing array.

Chapter 423 It's caught!

The chakra vortex in the sandstorm emitted a piercing sound, and the sealing array on Naruto's chest suddenly spun out in reverse, releasing streams of five-colored light.

The Fourth Kazekage's semi-transparent figure emerged from the center of the vortex, his robes billowing and creating sharp wind blades. The Sand Village's puppet techniques were never used to bind the living! The Kazekage's phantom fingertip touched Naruto's trembling right wrist, severing the filthy threads with iron sand!

Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly contracted—the flowing sand patterns on Naruto's arm perfectly overlapped with his pupil patterns, and the three tomoe twisted into a six-pointed star pattern amidst the sound of sand rubbing together.

The Amaterasu Black Flame spread uncontrollably along Susanoo's arrows, scorching the surrounding puppet threads and giving off a burnt, bloody smell.

Beware of the underworld! The mysterious girl suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the dark red clan emblem on her neck suddenly shone like lava.

The twelve chakra light bands instantly solidified, pulling Naruto away from his original spot.

From the sand and soil that had been blasted open where they had stood, five skeletons draped in the fine robes of a daimyo emerged from the ground, their rotting fingers clutching half a lightning-style chain.

At this moment, the remnant soul of the Fourth Raikage broke through the lightning seal behind Naruto, and the azure lightning even imprinted the girl's clan crest onto the surface of the phantom. "Boo brat, catch this!" The remnant soul of the Raikage let out a deafening roar, and its entire body transformed into lightning chains that stretched across the heavens and earth.

As the tip of the chain pierced the knot where the puppet's threads intertwined, Naruto suddenly felt a violent burning sensation in his heart—the puppet's heart was consuming lightning chakra!

Now! The girl's blood-stained fingers pressed against the forehead of the remnant Raikage's soul, and the ancient clan emblem suddenly transformed into twelve blood-red tomoe, granting you the right to sacrifice in the name of the vortex! The lightning release chains were instantly plated with dark gold, and magma-like chakra flowed from the cracks that had been eroded by the puppet threads.

As Naruto used the force to leap into the air, the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak revealed the tomoe patterns of the Sage of Six Paths amidst the lightning.

The laughter of the six phantoms suddenly exploded from Naruto's palm: What a delicious brotherly bond! Without warning, the blood-red chains pierced through Sasuke's Susanoo armor, while the girl's clan crest chains were forcibly pulled toward the sealing array behind Naruto.

The golden sand formed from the remnants of Lei Ying's soul condensed into an hourglass in the air, each grain of sand reflecting a fragment of memory from a certain time and space.

Look at the pattern of the sealing array! Sasuke roared amidst the black flames of Amaterasu, and the pattern of his Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly overlapped with an image in the hourglass.

His gaze pierced through the layers of chakra turbulence and saw two intertwined energies coiled around Naruto's spine—the golden markings of the Sage of Six Paths and some kind of pale sand pattern were devouring each other, forming a delicate balance at the edge of the sealing array like yin and yang fish.

The hourglass suddenly exploded into a shower of golden dust, and the wailing of the five daimyo puppets abruptly ceased.

Naruto crashed heavily onto the scorching sand and discovered that the sealing array on his chest had turned a strange grayish-white color.

Sasuke staggered and grabbed the rock for support. The image remaining in his Sharingan sent chills down his spine—for a fleeting moment, he clearly saw the same Sand Curse Seal lurking deep within the Six Paths as the one behind Byakuya.

The scorching sand particles burned Naruto's nape.

As he propped himself up on one side, the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak suddenly emitted a cracking sound like porcelain shattering, and pale sand began to seep from the grayish-white edges of the sealing array.

Sasuke's roar pierced through the chakra turbulence: Uzumaki Naruto!

There is a yin-yang gap hidden in your spine!

The kaleidoscope patterns spun wildly in Sasuke's eyes, and tears of blood dripped down his cheeks onto the tattered armor of Susanoo.

Through the layers of energy vortexes, he clearly saw that the sealing array behind Naruto was of the same origin as the cursed seal of the Five Daimyo puppets—the golden patterns of the Sage of Six Paths and the pale sand patterns of Byakuya were like two venomous snakes, tearing at each other's throats.

Chapter 424 Yin-Yang Rift

The scorching sand particles burned Naruto's nape.

As he propped himself up on one side, the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak suddenly emitted a cracking sound like porcelain shattering, and pale sand began to seep from the grayish-white edges of the sealing array.

Sasuke's roar pierced through the chakra turbulence: Uzumaki Naruto!

There is a yin-yang gap hidden in your spine!

The kaleidoscope patterns spun wildly in Sasuke's eyes, and tears of blood dripped down his cheeks onto the tattered armor of Susanoo.

Through the layers of energy vortexes, he clearly saw that the sealing array behind Naruto was of the same origin as the cursed seal of the Five Daimyo puppets—the golden patterns of the Sage of Six Paths and the pale sand patterns of Byakuya were like two venomous snakes, tearing at each other's throats.

Living blood... The core of the formation needs a living sacrifice! Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly changed direction and stabbed towards his left chest, but was caught by a blood-red chain that appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around his wrist.

The mysterious girl's clan crest chains rattled in the gale, and the sand-controlling runes unique to Sand Puppet Masters appeared in her flowing hair.

The girl twisted her wrist, cutting a deep wound that exposed bone, but the blood droplets condensed into golden sand in mid-air: Granny Chiyo's reincarnation technique, plus my clan's bloodline limit—the golden sand at her fingertips suddenly transformed into thirty-two kunai, which precisely pierced Naruto's pressure points. This is the real key to the contract!

The sealing array behind Naruto suddenly erupted with a pillar of light shooting into the sky.

The moment the Rinne Sharingan appeared in his left eye, the Nine-Tails' chakra and the pale sand pattern materialized simultaneously—his left hand held a blue Rasengan wrapped in lightning chakra, while his right hand held a pale sand vortex carrying wind and sand.

When the two forces collided in mid-air, fragments of the Fourth Kazekage's puppet and remnants of the Raikage's chakra soul suddenly appeared from the void.

Magnetic Escape·Alluvial Gold Realm Method!

Lightning Release: Lightning Abuse Level Chiyo Mai!

The signature techniques of the two deceased shadow figures were combined into one under the pull of the Yin and Yang forces.

The moment the Twin Rasengan tore open the spacetime rift, the remnant souls of the five daimyo emerged from the shattered hourglass, wailing in agony.

Their translucent bodies were covered with puppet threads, and Ebizo's mind-control talisman was clearly inserted into the throat of the Fire Country Daimyo.

At the altar in the Land of Sand, the remnant soul of the daimyo of the Land of Wind suddenly broke free of some of the puppet strings. He used Yin-Yang Escape to create... Before he finished speaking, a pitch-black curse mark suddenly exploded between his eyebrows.

The sealing array behind Naruto suddenly contracted into a tai chi pattern, and what appeared at the core of the array was Ebizo's unique puppet gear.

Sasuke's Susanoo lunged forward, and Amaterasu's black flames slashed towards the core of the formation along the Kusanagi sword: that old thing's heart is the core of the formation! But the sword's edge was swallowed by the six golden patterns the instant it touched the gears.

The mysterious girl suddenly appeared beside Naruto, her blood-stained lips pressing heavily against his mouth.

Guided by the soul, bound by blood! The clan emblem on her chest transformed into crimson-gold light patterns and entered Naruto's heart. As the Sand Village's bloodline limit resonated with the Nine-Tails' chakra... the girl's words were cut off by the suddenly expanding Six Paths Golden Mark, and three intertwined pillars of light completely engulfed the three of them.

In the instant before his consciousness faded, Naruto saw countless fragments of memories—the secret room where Ebi hid the contract he made with Byakuya twenty years ago, the night when Granny Chiyo secretly modified the reincarnation technique, and even the third figure that was deliberately erased when the Sage of Six Paths separated Yin and Yang.

The contract is complete! Ebizo's hoarse laughter echoed from the depths of the earth.

When the golden light faded, Naruto found his right hand pressed against Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan, while half of the mysterious girl's body had turned into golden sand.

Even more horrifying is that the spacetime they inhabit is collapsing into countless fragments of memory—in one of these fragments, the young Bai Ye is kneeling before the ruined image of the Sage of Six Paths, letting pale sand patterns crawl all over his back.

Sasuke suddenly grabbed Naruto's wrist, and the patterns of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan resonated with the Rinne Sharingan: Look at the hourglass reflection!

Byakuya and Ebizo's trading partner is... His words were interrupted by a sudden reversal of the spacetime turbulence.

Before plunging into complete darkness, Naruto saw the Six Paths Tomoe merging with the pale sand patterns on his chakra cloak to form a new cursed seal.

Chapter 425 The Wall of Red Sand

Naruto staggered back half a step, the warmth of Sasuke's eyelids still lingering in his palm.

The mysterious girl's golden sands spread upwards along the chakra cloak, each grain reflecting a blood-red pact from fragments of memory—the oil lamp in the secret room twenty years ago, the reversal runes that Granny Chiyo tremblingly carved, and the third figure erased by history raising his pale palm towards the Sage of Six Paths.

Kurama! Naruto tried to summon the Nine-Tails' chakra, but his meridians felt like they were filled with molten lead.

Sasuke's Rinnegan rippled, and the space beneath their feet suddenly cracked open with countless prisms, each mirror reflecting Ebizo's withered, bark-like face.

The Sand Clock began to reverse. Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword plunged into the ground, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan split into twelve pupils under the reflection of the mirror, the sand patterns on Byakuya's spine—

Before he finished speaking, three thousand golden daggers shot out from the prism.

The mysterious girl suddenly opened her arms, and the tattered clan emblem on her chest lit up again: Crimson Sand Wall! The translucent golden sand wall barely blocked the attack, but the sand on her knees began to fall off in a rustling sound.

"You can't hold on!" Naruto grabbed the girl's wrist and discovered that what was flowing under her skin was not blood, but ink marks from a sealing technique.

Fragments of memory suddenly stung my nerves—on the altar where the Sage of Six Paths separated Yin and Yang powers, the same inky liquid was dripping from the fingertips of the third figure.

Ebizo's cold laughter shook the very fabric of space: "Back then, that idiot Chiyo thought she could stop me by modifying the reincarnation technique?"

Unbeknownst to her, Bai Ye had already inscribed the Reverse Wind Pattern on her puppet strings! A fragment of memory suddenly exploded, and in the scene, Granny Chiyo's chakra strings, upon touching a certain puppet, suddenly and strangely wrapped around her own neck in reverse.

Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton shattered into specks of light the moment it appeared. He gasped for breath as he channeled his chakra into the Kusanagi sword: "Naruto, use that move!" The instant the sword sliced ​​through space, Naruto instinctively unleashed the Rasengan.

The wind and lightning releases collided among the fragments of memory, creating a strange vortex. The golden spikes that were originally attacking were instead swept back and sucked into the spacetime rift.

The mysterious girl suddenly let out a muffled groan, and the clan emblem completely merged into Naruto's heart.

Her remaining half of her body began to crystallize, but her fingertips gently brushed against the curse mark at the corner of Naruto's eye: As pale sand patterns crawled across the contractor's heart... more golden spikes broke through the sand wall, nailing her unfinished words into scattered golden sand.

"Don't die!" Naruto frantically tore off his chakra cloak, and the Six Paths Tomoe and the pale sand pattern merged into a spiral-shaped curse seal.

The Nine-Tails' chakra suddenly broke free of its restraints, but was dyed dark gold the moment it touched the girl's crystalline body.

Sasuke's Rinne Sharingan suddenly contracted—floating within those dark gold chakra were clearly the remnant soul of the third sage of six paths separated from him!

The speed of spatial collapse suddenly accelerated, and Ebizo's roar, carrying sand and gravel, filled his ears: "The contract is about to be fulfilled..." Naruto suddenly grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, and dark gold chakra surged into the other's Rinnegan along the curse seal.

The moment the two forces converged, the phantom of an hourglass sealed in the cracks of time and space suddenly appeared—the upper part of the sand was almost gone.

So that's how it is! Sasuke's sword suddenly turned towards his left eye, the patterns of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan perfectly overlapping with the hourglass projection. What Byakuya was trading was not power, but time! Without hesitation, he gouged out his eyeball and threw it into the void. The eyeball, wrapped in dark gold chakra, actually condensed into a blood-red weight in the center of the hourglass.

The sand that was about to run out suddenly stopped and reversed direction.

The last fragment of the mysterious girl's crystallization suddenly lit up, the cursed seal on Naruto's chest spun wildly, and the sealed third remnant soul surged into Sasuke's empty eye sockets along with the chakra.

The moment the newborn Rinnegan burst forth, all the fragments of memory were instantly reassembled, and the contract scroll that Ebizo signed in the secret room twenty years ago took concrete form in time and space.

Now! Naruto slammed the dark gold Tailed Beast Ball into the bloody finger mark on the scroll.

Amidst the deafening explosion, he vaguely saw the sealing array of Sunagakure hidden within the contract text—the figure of an old man who did not belong to this time and space was slowly raising his head in the center of the array.

The Onoki tree floated thirty meters in the air, its wrinkles inlaid with the red crystal sand unique to Sunagakure.

He reached out and caught the chakra fragments that spilled out of the space-time rift. The rhomboid crystals suddenly twisted into snake shapes in his palm and then exploded into charred smoke.

How long can the Dust Release barrier last? The old man's goatee moved without wind, and the twelve Earth Release kunai were stuck in the cracked sandstone, humming and vibrating.

The hands of the three ANBU ninjas behind him were trembling as they formed hand seals, and the youngest one's mask was soaked with blood from his nose.

Three minutes... no, two minutes and forty seconds! As soon as the female ninja wearing the Rock Sparrow mask finished speaking, seven ring-shaped sand waves suddenly rose from the ground.

Onoki's pupils contracted sharply—the trajectory of those surging sand waves perfectly matched the formation of the Fourth Shinobi World War that Byakuya had simulated on the sand table during the Five Kage Summit twenty years ago.

Inside the sealed space, Naruto was kneeling on one knee amidst the boiling chakra flow.

Sasuke's newly awakened Rinnegan suddenly turned northwest, its pupils reflecting the phantom of an old man analyzing a sealing array. "There's someone outside!" Before he could finish speaking, the entire space was suddenly enveloped in hundreds of earthen-yellow runes, and Onoki's voice boomed like thunder, piercing through the space-time barrier: "The Sand Village's sealing technique contains a Lightning Release seal from the Cloud Village!"

Ebizo's remaining chakra suddenly condensed into a puppet head in the void, its jaw clicking: As expected of the Two Scales, but alas... Purple flames coated with gold dust spewed from the puppet's eye sockets, and the three sealing nodes that Onoki had just deciphered exploded in response.

The female ANBU screamed as the Dust Release barrier was instantly torn open by the backlash of chakra.

The sand timer inside the space suddenly accelerated and reversed.

Naruto noticed his headband was fading, and Kurama's anxious roar echoed through the air: "Watch out for time reversal!" Sasuke's Rinnegan shed tears of blood as he saw himself from twenty years ago standing at the door of the secret chamber, holding a blood-stained kunai.

Don't look at the memory fragments! The last crystallized fragment of the mysterious girl suddenly lit up, and Naruto was blinded by the bright light.

A cool sensation came from his palm—the girl's remaining chakra had branded a miniature sealing array on his skin, and at the center of the array was the reverse wind pattern that Byakuya had left on Chiyo's puppet strings.

Onoki's Dust Release: Particle Style finally tore open a crack in the barrier, but Old Tsuchikage suddenly stopped and retreated.

In the reflection of his cloudy pupils, the entire sealed space was collapsing into a hexagonal prism shape, each mirror reflecting a different timeline of Sunagakure. Layered timelines... His goatee was covered in cold sweat. That Byakuya guy had actually turned Sunagakure into a time-space coordinate system!

Naruto suddenly realized that his chakra cloak was beginning to crystallize, and the Nine-Tails' roar was fading into the distance.

Sasuke slashed his wrist with the Kusanagi Sword, channeling the chakra from the Rinnegan's blood and tears into Naruto's back: using that sealing array to reverse the flow of chakra! The moment the dark golden cursed seal touched the Reverse Wind Pattern, the entire space suddenly fell into absolute silence.

Chapter 426 Quickly Withdraw!

The quicksand of the sand clock made a rustling sound on the inverted dome, and Naruto gripped the burning sealing array in his palm tightly.

The dark gold runes moved across the skin like living things, resonating with the chakra Sasuke injected into his back.

He could feel the Nine-Tails' roar being enveloped by some kind of viscous substance, like an insect sinking into amber.
