Look at the wall. Sasuke's Rinnegan is still bleeding, the three tomoe spinning deep within his pupils, the flowing spacetime rewriting history.

The crystallized chakra cloak peeled off in a flurry, and Naruto looked in the direction of the Kusanagi sword's cold gleam.

On the wall made of hexagonal prisms, dark runes are swimming and recombining like tadpoles.

As his gaze focused on a certain character, a scene from the Sand Village market twenty years ago suddenly exploded on his retina—a masked ninja stuffing explosive tags into a puppeteer's basket.

Don't look with your naked eye! Sasuke's sword hilt slammed heavily against his shoulder; these were memory traps materialized from the turbulent flow of time and space.

Onoki floated in mid-air, the white light of Dust Release gathering and dissipating at his fingertips.

Old Earth Shadow's wrinkles were inlaid with crystal sand, and his goatee trembled with the tremors of space: Raikage, inject lightning into the mirror at the three o'clock position.

The Fourth Raikage's muscles bulged with veins, and his Lightning Release armor crackled against his skin.

When the heavy fist, crackling with electricity, struck the mirror, the entire space was suddenly filled with a shrill shriek like a thousand birds singing.

Six prisms simultaneously reflect different eras of the Sand Village's Kazekage Tower—the First Kazekage signing an alliance, the Third Kazekage being assassinated by Sasori of the Red Sand, and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, manipulating gold dust.

So that's how it is. Onoki's Dust Release suddenly changed direction, compressing the Raikage's Lightning Release chakra into a spiral drill. Byakuya planted spacetime markers when each Kazekage succeeded to the throne. These hexagonal prisms are spacetime coordinates spanning twenty years.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly plunged into the ground between the two of them, and the Rinnegan caught a key detail in the runes on the wall: Look at this incantation—'Five Souls Altar'.

Ebizo intends to use the remnants of the five daimyo as sacrifices to summon demons in the rifts of time and space.

Naruto felt a sudden, sharp pain in the sealing array on his back, and blue smoke seeped from his skin from the Reverse Wind Pattern.

Fragmented memories burrowed into his nerves like venomous snakes: he saw Granny Chiyo's puppet strings entwined with the corpses of daimyo, Ebi drawing a reverse pentagram in a secret chamber, and the low growls of ancient monsters echoing from the depths of the earth...

Activate the sealing array with Sage Chakra! The Nine-Tails' voice finally broke through the silt of time and space, and golden-red chakra erupted like lava.

When natural energy is injected into the palm, the reverse wind pattern suddenly unfolds into a swastika seal, fixing the wandering tadpole-like characters to the wall.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly contracted: These words are rearranging!

The third segment is the Dragon Vein Sealing Technique, and the fourth segment is the Impure World Reincarnation variant... Blood and tears crystallized on his cheeks. Ebizo wanted to use the spacetime coordinates set up by Byakuya to drag the demon from Yomotsu Hirasaka into the mortal world!

The Raikage's roar shattered the mirror: Onoki!

Use your Super-Weighted Rock Technique in conjunction with my Lightning Crusade level! Blue arcs of electricity coiled around the surface of the Earth Release crystal, transforming into a drill that pierced the spacetime barrier.

The hexagonal prism began to spin wildly, and scenes of Sunagakure from different eras flashed by like a revolving lantern.

Naruto suddenly knelt down on one knee, and his Sage Chakra burned scorch marks on the surface of the sealing array.

Through his gradually transparent skin, one can see the reverse wind pattern devouring the Nine-Tails' chakra: Sasuke!

This sealing formation is absorbing my life force!

Because it's bidirectional. Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton suddenly enveloped the two of them, and purple chakra isolated the spacetime turbulence. What Byakuya left behind back then wasn't just coordinates, but also a reverse sealing technique—use your Yang Release chakra to attack the array's core!

When Naruto pressed the Rasengan into his palm, the entire space suddenly fell into a strange balance.

The hexagonal prism stopped rotating, and the sphere of light, a fusion of Dust Release and Lightning Release, floated at the crack.

Onoki's exclamation trembled: These cracks are absorbing chakra!

Raikage, quickly withdraw your attack!

But it was too late.

Chapter 427 Simultaneous Destruction of Five Soul Cores

The spacetime rift suddenly opened its scarlet eyes, and the roars of demons echoed from the other side of the underworld.

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor instantly disintegrated, and black mist climbed up his arm.

Onoki's Dust Release sphere began to expand uncontrollably, and the distorted faces of the five daimyo appeared on its surface.

Don't look at those faces! Sasuke's Susanoo arrow pierced through the impending Impure World Reincarnation array, and the blood and tears of the Rinnegan burned a spatial vortex in the air. Naruto!

It's now!

The Rasengan, imbued with Yang Release chakra, slammed into the sealing array, and the reverse wind pattern suddenly reversed into a clockwise vortex.

The spacetime coordinates of the hexagonal prism began to extinguish one by one, but the scarlet crack suddenly expanded—in the instant before it completely closed, everyone saw Ebizo standing deep within a certain mirror surface, holding a puppet string that strung together five soul beads in his hand.

Fragments of the hexagonal prism coalesced into golden spikes in the spacetime gap, pouring down like a torrential rain.

Naruto channeled Sage Mode chakra into the Fuma Shuriken, the swirling air barely protecting the pale ball of light huddled in the corner—the mysterious girl's soul had faded so much that one could see tadpole-like characters moving behind her, the clan emblem flickering between her brows.

She couldn't last three minutes. Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton was cracked by the golden spikes, and the Rinnegan suddenly detected a fluctuation behind a mirror—the southwest corner!

As Naruto's Rasengan shattered the mirror, an illusion of Ebizo, clad in a Sand Village headband, seeped out from the distorted space-time.

The old man's hunched body was suspended in mid-air by puppet strings, his ten fingers wrapped with five-colored chakra threads, each connected to the roaring head of a demon in the mirror.

Poor little guys. Ebizo's clone let out a laugh like sandpaper rubbing together, and the puppet strings suddenly tightened.

A muffled, thunderous impact came from the outside—Onoki's Dust Release sphere was exploding in a ring of ripples outside the barrier, each ripple causing the golden spikes in the space to grow three inches.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword pierced the phantom's heart, but it was like sinking into a pool of water: useless, it was a spacetime projection. He wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, and the six ripples of his Rinnegan spun rapidly, unless all five soul cores were destroyed simultaneously...

Before she could finish speaking, the mysterious girl suddenly uttered a clear and melodious chant.

Her shattered soul transformed into a thousand birds, dragging a stream of light as it crashed into the mirror in the southeast corner.

The struck hexagonal prism suddenly reflected a scene from twenty years ago: Granny Chiyo was stuffing a blood-stained scroll into her younger brother's hand, and Ebizo's white hair was tinged with the cold moonlight in the night wind.

So the Soul Core was hidden in the Memory Corridor! The sealing array on Naruto's back suddenly became hot, and the Nine-Tails' chakra boiled within the Sage Mode patterns.

His five shadow clones simultaneously lunged at the mirrors from different eras, each clad in a golden-red tailed beast cloak.

Suddenly, a furious shout came from outside the house from the Fourth Raikage.

The lightning drill, reinforced with super-heavy rock, chiseled out a blazing white spot of light on the surface of the barrier, and blood gushed from Onoki's wrinkles: Kids!

The resonance of internal and external chakra lasts only ten seconds!

Ebizo's phantom finally changed its expression.

The five puppet strings twitched wildly, and the connected heads of the demons began to tear at each other.

Space groaned under the weight of the distorted spacetime, and the mysterious girl's remnant soul flickered like a candle in the wind.

Now! Sasuke's Susanoo suddenly unfolded into its full form, and a giant purple bow drew out an arrow burning with Amaterasu.

Five arrows followed Naruto's shadow clone into the mirror, accurately piercing through the moments in each era where Ebizo concealed his soul core—the covenant scroll from twenty years ago, the gold dust altar from fifteen years ago, and the Kazekage's will from ten years ago...

When the fifth arrow pierced the puppet string node of the current time and space, the mysterious girl's soul suddenly shone with the radiance of the rising sun.

The clan emblem materialized into a jade pendant and fell into Naruto's palm. The girl's final smile reflected the crumbling golden spikes in the sky, like the light leaking out when a sand clock reverses.

You thought that was the end? Before Ebizo's phantom could dissipate, it suddenly exploded into a chakra storm. The wails of the five Daimyo surged from the depths of the rift. When the demons have finished devouring the offerings, the rift in Yomotsu Hirasaka will engulf the entire ninja world...

The roar of the shattering barrier drowned out the subsequent curse.

Onoki's Dust Release sphere and the Raikage's drill finally pierced through space and time, and the airflow from the outside swept up countless fragments of memories.

Naruto gripped the clan emblem jade pendant, still warm from his body, and Nine-Tails chakra overflowed from his eyes uncontrollably—the surface of the pendant was showing an image of a mysterious girl forming hand seals deep within the Dragon Vein.

Chapter 428 Golden Thorn Rain

Spacetime turbulence, carrying fragments of memory, swirled within the barrier, while the Nine-Tails chakra seeping from between Naruto's fingers intertwined with the sunrise-colored light emanating from the jade pendant, forming a spiral.

Sasuke's Susanoo emitted a crisp sound of bones grinding behind him. As the giant purple bow reformed, both of them simultaneously saw the faintly visible diamond-shaped core behind Ebizo's clone.

At three o'clock. Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan spun amidst the blood and grime, Amaterasu's black flames scorching the puppet strings, which were absorbing the resentment of the five daimyo.

Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the jade pendant suddenly became scalding hot.

As the illusion of the Sand Clock reversing flashed through his mind, he suddenly realized that the chakra that the mysterious girl had injected at the moment of her death was resonating with the Nine-Tails.

The golden-orange tailed beast cloak suddenly expanded, and white sand patterns spread from the cuffs to the collarbone—this was a secret technique that had been lost when Sunagakure sealed away the demon twenty years ago.

The Raikage's roar pierced through the barrier cracks, and the light spots from Dust Release exploded into a spiderweb pattern on the dome.

Ebizo's clone suddenly split into five afterimages, each linked by a chakra chain that pierced through the daimyo.

Naruto used the tailed beast's chakra to levitate and discovered that each chain had an hourglass marked with the hour.

Use that move! Sasuke's Susanoo arrow suddenly changed direction, and the Amaterasu fire burned the hourglass into a glassy shape.

As Naruto fell, he pressed the Rasengan against the jade pendant, and the morning sun-colored chakra instantly transformed into three hundred shadow clones with white night sand patterns—the very Sage Art: Sand Rain that he had failed to complete three years ago when he was training at Mount Myōboku.

When the first clone collided with the hourglass at Shenshi (3-5 PM), Onoki's Dust Release barrier finally tore open.

The Raikage, clad in lightning armor, charged into the battle. The lightning bolts generated by his fist striking the ground precisely cut off Ebizo's chakra flow as he burrowed underground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Naruto charged forward, stepping on the Kusanagi sword thrown by Sasuke. Meanwhile, the Sand Rain clones formed a swastika pattern in mid-air, sealing off Ebizo's retreat between the tattered pages of the Kazekage's will from ten years ago.

Don't even think about it! Ebizo's five clones suddenly merged, and the diamond-shaped core burst forth with blood and sand that smelled of blood.

The hourglass fragments that should have been burned by Amaterasu actually reformed and transformed into a rain of golden spikes engraved with the emblems of the five countries.

Sasuke's Susanoo ribs shattered with a clanging sound, and a golden thorn grazed Naruto's ear, the resulting wind pressure lifting a sealed scroll from his memory—a variation of the Reaper Death Seal that he had seen in the Book of Seals when he was seven years old.

The jade pendant suddenly emitted a tremor like a dragon's roar.

As Naruto infused the Nine-Tails' chakra into it, the image of the mysterious girl forming hand seals at the Dragon Vein was suddenly projected into the entire space.

Just then, Onoki's Dust Release sphere swept across the battlefield, overlapping a hand seal gesture in the scene with Ebizo's diamond-shaped core.

Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique!

The old earthen shadow's roar made the Raikage's eyes light up, and the lightning around him suddenly contracted into a drill shape.

Seeing the two approaching from the left and right, Naruto decisively gathered all the Sand Rain clones towards his main body.

When the Rasenshuriken with its white night sand pattern and Sasuke's Amaterasu Arrow struck the core simultaneously, Ebizo's clone's scream was mixed with a strange laugh.

Before dissipating, the golden rain of thorns suddenly changed direction, and tens of thousands of golden sharp points converged into five giant pythons engraved with the crests of famous families.

Onoki's hands were already slamming into the ground, and a chakra wave far exceeding that of ordinary earth-style chakra was gathering between his aged palms—but the golden-spined giant pythons began to absorb the remaining space-time chakra within the barrier during their charge, and the cuneiform script of Yomotsu Hirasaka appeared on each of their scales.

The Raikage's Lightning Release Drill was the first to strike the Fire Country's giant serpent, and amidst the flying sparks, fragments of a scroll from a covenant from twenty years ago were unearthed.

Just as Naruto was about to step forward to help, the image of the mysterious girl burning her soul suddenly appeared on the jade pendant in his palm. The unfinished Dragon Vein Sealing Technique was resonating with the Nine-Tails Chakra within him... The Nine-Tails Chakra roared and boiled within Naruto's body, and the fragments of the covenant floating in the air were suddenly dyed amber by the light of the jade pendant.

Onoki's age-spotted palms bulged with veins, and the rock formations within a hundred miles groaned under the weight. Three earthen walls, engraved with sealing runes, rose from the ground, each wall inlaid with a barrier stone left over from the Five Kage Summit thirty years ago.

Lightning Release: Thousand Generations Dance! The Fourth Raikage, transformed into a lightning drill, suddenly exploded, spewing out plasma that entangled Sasuke's Susanoo arrows like a spiderweb.

The lightning emanating from the arrowheads resonated with the black flames of Amaterasu, scorching a charred spatial rift in the void.

As Naruto saw the scales of the giant golden serpents begin to peel off, he immediately poured all the chakra of his Sand Rain clones into the Rasenshuriken.

Chapter 429 The Gates of the Underworld Open

When the hurricane carrying the white sand patterns of the night struck the Fire Country's giant serpent's vital spot, Sasuke's arrow pierced the serpent's single eye.

Onoki suddenly coughed up blood-stained chakra crystals, and the twenty-meter-high earth wall shattered into thousands of rock cones—each fragment precisely piercing the Yomi script of the golden serpent.

The Raikage's Lightning Release armor emitted a piercing crackling sound as he grabbed the fangs of the Land of Lightning's giant serpent with his bare hands and hurled it towards the sealing node of the barrier dome.

Now! Naruto formed the Frog Formation hand seal unique to Mount Myōboku with both hands, and three hundred shadow clones simultaneously detonated Sage Chakra.

The dragon's roar emanating from the jade pendant formed a visible sound wave, and the hourglasses that had been scorched by Amaterasu suddenly reversed their flow.

Ebizo's clones twisted into a vortex amidst the explosion of the five elements, and the blood droplets that splattered when the puppet strings broke condensed into a ritual seal in mid-air.

Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly bleeds out, and he sees the phantom of a forbidden scroll from the Anbu of Sunagakure appearing at the core of his clone.

When Naruto's Rasenshuriken tore through the last giant water serpent, the entire barrier suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Dark green viscous liquid seeped from the cracks in Ebizo's clone, and the liquid turned into talismans engraved with Sand Village secret codes as soon as it hit the ground.

Iron Sand Rain! Onoki's Dust Release suddenly changed form, with countless nano-sized chakra crystals seeping into his clone.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Raikage injected Lightning Release chakra into Naruto's back, and the Chidori Stream pattern immediately appeared on the golden-orange Tailed Beast Cloak.

Sasuke's Susanoo suddenly spread its wings, and when the giant sword burning with Amaterasu fire pierced the back of his clone's neck, everyone heard the crisp sound of porcelain shattering.

Ebizo's clone suddenly tilted its head back and let out a shriek. The coded messages on the talismans resonated with the dragon vein patterns on Naruto's jade pendant.

As the clone completely disintegrated into chakra stardust, the sealing technique that the mysterious girl had carved on the inside of the jade pendant before her death suddenly appeared in mid-air—it was a seal written in blood, with each stroke wrapped in the Vortex clan's unique Vajra Seal.

Something's wrong. Sasuke's Sharingan suddenly caught sight of cuneiform script shimmering in the stardust—a space-time technique even more advanced than Yomotsu Hirasaka. The chakra was reassembling!

Onoki's Earth Release barrier suddenly emitted the sound of shattering glass, and the dissipating stardust began to flow in reverse.

The Raikage's Lightning Release armor emitted a dangerous crackling sound as he realized that the chakra he unleashed was being devoured by some kind of force.
