Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

He saw Ebizo's shattered puppet strings being reborn in the black water, each thread connected to a flickering shadow deep within the Gates of the Underworld.

As Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan attempted to pierce the darkness, the space flowing with black water suddenly resounded with the wailing of a million dead souls.

The platinum chakra in Naruto's palm suddenly condensed into a star compass, and the puppet gears floating in the black water perfectly matched the star map of the underground altar of Sunagakure.

As the Nine-Tails' chakra flowed into the earth's veins along the star map's trajectory, the light patterns of the Byakuya clan emblem suddenly appeared beneath everyone's feet—this faint starlight caused the black water manipulated by Ebizo to freeze for a moment.

Now! The blood droplets coughed up by Onoki exploded in the air into a dust-style barrier, temporarily isolating the black water from its corrosive influence.

The Raikage's lightning chakra burst forth, tearing three lightning cracks in the darkness. As Sasuke's Susanoo arrow pierced through the cracks, Granny Chiyo's chakra threads had already wrapped around Ebizo's left foot, which was not yet fully transformed into a puppet.

However, just as all the attacks were about to hit, twelve bronze kunai suddenly flew out from Ebizo's torn sleeve.

These hidden weapons, engraved with celestial runes, pierced precisely into the nodes of the White Night Clan emblem beneath everyone's feet, instantly turning the originally brilliant starlight into a murky purplish-black.

Naruto's right Rinnegan suddenly saw a terrifying sight—the ends of those bronze kunai were clearly connected to a torrent of thousands of chains deep within the Gates of the Underworld.

As darkness receded like a tide, Ebizo's hoarse laughter echoed from all directions: "The puppets who should take their final bow are you all." Before the last light was swallowed up, Naruto glimpsed Sasuke's Susanoo armor dissolving in the black water, and in Onoki's Dust Release crystallized wound, countless black runes had already crawled up to his heart.

When absolute darkness enveloped the world, Naruto suddenly noticed that the sand pattern in his right eye had stopped spinning.

The Nine-Tails let out a deep roar in the spiritual space, and the originally violent chakra was now like an insect trapped in amber.

His fingers, which were trying to form a hand seal, touched some kind of viscous medium. What he heard was no longer the sound of wind, but the sound of thousands of chains swaying in the depths of the Yellow Springs.

At the moment his heart stopped beating, Platinum Chakra suddenly condensed automatically into the shape of an hourglass in his palm.

At the top of the hourglass was the Nine-Tails' chakra turning into sand, while at the bottom appeared the afterimage of Byakuya looking back in front of the star chart—the lips of that afterimage seemed to be uttering some sealed mantra buried by time.

Chapter 434 Joining Forces to Defeat the Enemy

The darkness was filled with the aura of decaying bronze, and Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan burned within its sockets.

He reached out and pressed his bleeding left shoulder, from which tiny starlight was seeping—fragments of chakra left over from when Onoki forcibly twisted the barrier.

There was blood flowing at the six o'clock position. He bit his fingertip and drew a blood-red spell on the floating rock fragments.

The Kusanagi sword, suspended above her head, suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and the magatama at the end of the hilt glowed faintly, illuminating the frost that had condensed on Chiyo's puppet strings.

The hourglass that Naruto had been gathering in his palm suddenly tilted.

The golden sand formed from the Nine-Tails' chakra fell in a flurry, but just before it hit the ground, it turned into swirling stardust.

He felt a faint warmth behind his right ear, as if someone had pinned a cherry blossom in his hair—the soul of the girl who had vanished at the Starfall Altar was now using her remaining chakra to guide his fingers.

Don't be disturbed by the vibration frequency of the bronze chains. The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor exploded with lightning in the darkness. His calloused hand slammed heavily on Naruto's back. "My Lightning Release Chakra Mode can see the flow of meridians. That old man's chakra core is here."

At the center of the bloodstain vortex marked by Sasuke, Onoki suddenly coughed, interrupting him, and the rocks floating around him suddenly reformed into an octagonal star array.

The old man's cracked hands formed the Earth Release: Mountain Splitting Seal, and the entire space suddenly resounded with the rumble of the earth's veins breaking, but it required three seconds of absolute defense.

Chiyo's puppet strings suddenly snapped.

The chakra threads wrapped around his ten fingers pierced through the darkness and precisely hooked onto the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor.

The white-haired old woman's wrinkled eyes twitched slightly: Three seconds was enough for my Chikamatsu Ten Ninja to form a Rashomon-like formation, but someone would need to bear the backlash of the ninjutsu...

"I'll do it." The hourglass in Naruto's palm suddenly reversed, and the golden sand transformed into the Truth-Seeking Balls of the Sage of Six Paths, hovering around him.

Suddenly, three tomoe appeared in his right Rinnegan, and the Nine-Tails' chakra condensed into a star pattern on the tailed beast cloak. Sasuke's eye power could still support seven space-time transformations.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly pierced through the void.

The black flames wrapped around the sword tore open a crack in the darkness, and his bleeding kaleidoscope reflected a twisted node in the torrent of chains: Third Hokage, now!

Onoki's Dust Release barrier suddenly contracted.

The suspended rock fragments transformed into diamond crystals, forming an inverted pyramid-shaped earthen fortress beneath everyone's feet.

Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters suddenly disintegrated, and sand-iron chains shot out from the joints of the ten puppets, weaving an impenetrable defensive net outside the Earth Release fortress.

Now! The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release chakra transformed into a Kirin form, and his fist, covered in lightning, slammed heavily towards the location marked by Sasuke.

Chiyo's puppet strings suddenly wrapped around Naruto's Truth-Seeking Balls, perfectly fusing the Tailed Beast Chakra with Lightning Release into a spiral-shaped chakra drill.

Naruto felt the burning sensation in his right hand suddenly disappear.

The white night shadow floating in the hourglass suddenly opened its eyes, and the Nine-Tails' chakra, which had been bound by the Yellow Springs Chains, began to flow in reverse.

The instant the spiral chakra drill touched the dark core, he heard the voice of a mysterious girl mixed in with the sound of breaking chains: Remember the moment when star orbits converge...

The hourglass shattered with a crash, and the Sage of Six Paths' sealing mantra appeared in the void.

However, just as the curtain of light was about to tear through the darkness, the chakra fluctuations generated by all the ninjutsu suddenly froze eerily—Ebizo's cold laughter seeped from the tremors of every chakra particle: Did he think my Star Eclipse Formation would be so easily...?

The sand-iron chains that were suspended outside the defensive barrier were suddenly covered with bronze rust, and viscous black liquid gushed out from the cracks that had been scorched by lightning.

The star totem in Naruto's palm suddenly rotated in reverse, and the afterimages of the white night that should have dissipated began to devour the energy of the Truth-Seeking Balls—while above the dark dome that no one could see, a gate to the underworld engraved with the Sunagakure emblem was slowly opening.

The spiral drill, a fusion of lightning release and tailed beast chakra, suddenly erupted with blinding white light, and the dark vortex where Ebizo was hiding emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword was suddenly pulled by some kind of gravity, and the Amaterasu black flames wrapped around the tip of the sword burned out scorched yellow rune patterns in the void—it was the inverted pentagram unique to the sealing techniques of Sunagakure.

"The puppet strings are reorganizing the meridians!" Chiyo suddenly shouted, and the sand iron chains that were originally woven into a defensive net suddenly pulled back into the earth-escape fortress.

Onoki groaned, and the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth condensed into brown crystals in mid-air, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the Dust Release barrier.

Naruto's right Rinnegan suddenly emitted a purple light.

Nine chakra tails, carrying stardust, pierced through the defensive net, transforming into nine burning fox claws the instant they touched the bronze rust.

Chapter 435 The Starry Sky Is About to Fall

As the third fox claw shattered the illusion of the Gate of the Underworld, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan finally detected the chakra node hidden within the bronze rust.

"Raikage!" With Sasuke's roar, the Fourth Raikage's fist, covered in lightning armor, suddenly changed trajectory.

The heavy punch that was originally aimed at the core of darkness suddenly slammed into his own chest, and the violent lightning chakra actually shattered all the puppet strings that Chiyo was binding him with—those broken chakra threads turned into guiding lights in the lightning, and finally all pointed to the hourglass fragment floating behind Naruto.

Ohno's cracked hands suddenly formed the hand seals for Earth Release: Earth Core.

The earth-遁堡 (earth-遁堡 is a type of fortress that was about to collapse) suddenly sank thirty meters, instantly taking everyone deep into the earth's veins.

Suddenly, the star totem in Naruto's palm resonated with the earth's vein energy, and the devoured Truth-Seeking Ball energy surged out from the ground, transforming into golden chains that bound Ebizo's fading figure.

Now! Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton suddenly enveloped Naruto.

The moment the purple chakra bow and arrow fused with the Tailed Beast Ball, the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters, controlled by Chiyo, suddenly disintegrated into 360 poisoned puppet parts, each precisely embedded in Ebizo's chakra points.

Ebizo's face, covered in age spots, suddenly contorted into a skull mask made of iron sand.

His withered hands tore open the hem of his shirt, revealing aged skin etched with star-echo runes: You have no idea the true nature of the Gates of the Underworld...

Before he could finish speaking, Onoki's Dust Release barrier suddenly rose from the depths of the earth's veins.

The pure white cube completely enveloped Ebizo and the bronze rust. The Third Tsuchikage coughed up blood and roared: Thirty seconds!

This is my final escape!

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor suddenly covered the surface of the Dust Release barrier.

The moment the blue-white lightning seeped into the pure white cube, the star totem on Naruto's tailed beast cloak suddenly detached from his body, transforming into a rotating galaxy that enveloped everyone.

Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan finally gave way and began to bleed, but in the instant before it completely closed, he used Amaterasu to mark the final black coordinates in the Milky Way vortex.

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the bronze rust vanished as if the tide had receded.

When everyone leaped back to the surface from the ley lines, they saw only Ebizo's staff standing alone in the scorched earth, the star-etched gem inlaid on the staff head slowly turning to ashes.

Did they win? Naruto slumped on the edge of the smoking pit, the flames on his Tailed Beast Cloak flickering.

He reached out to touch the scattered stardust, only to find a bronze crescent-shaped scar on his right palm.

Sasuke supported his body with the Kusanagi sword, the lingering burning pain from his Sharingan preventing him from seeing anything beyond three steps.

As he groped his way to the remains of the staff, the tip of his sword suddenly picked up half a piece of unburnt talisman paper—written in blood with the coded text of Sunagakure, the very same encrypted text he and Itachi had learned during their Anbu training thirty years ago.

Watch out! Chiyo suddenly threw out the puppet arm.

The moment the mechanical hand grabbed Onoki by the back of his collar, bronze chains suddenly emerged from the previously calm ground, turning the spot where the Third Tsuchikage had just stood into a deep pit.

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor roared once more, but the electricity suddenly went out the moment it touched the remains of the staff.

To everyone's astonishment, the scattered ashes of the Star Erosion Jade were reforming under the moonlight, gradually condensing into a miniature phantom of the Gate to the Underworld.

Ebizo's hoarse, cold laugh suddenly echoed from all directions: "As the Nine-Tails' chakra flows through the bronze crescent moon, as the Sharingan reflects the inscription on the Yellow Springs Monument..." The sound gradually faded with the night wind, the last half of the sentence turning into a fleeting sigh. The starry sky of the ninja world... is about to fall...

Naruto suddenly pressed his hand against the burning scar on his right hand.

In his blurred vision, the shimmering stardust suddenly outlined the mysterious girl's silhouette before she vanished, and the girl's lips were clearly repeating a word—the first character of the cipher remaining on Sasuke's sword tip.

The night wind dispersed the smoke from the battlefield, but it could not dispel the gloom hanging over everyone's hearts.

When Sasuke put the cipher fragments into his ninja tool bag, he discovered that the rubbing of the Starfall Altar inside was oozing a bronze-colored liquid; when the Fourth Raikage inspected his Lightning Release armor, he noticed that the moon reflected in the breastplate had an ominous red halo; and when Onoki was sorting through the Dust Release crystals, he discovered that each crystal had a miniature image of the Gate of the Underworld solidified in its center.

As Naruto watched the crescent-shaped scar on his palm gradually fade, Kurama suddenly let out a low, warning growl in his consciousness.

Just as he looked up to say something, a bronze-colored snowflake landed on his eyelashes—in the dead of summer night, the swirling bronze snowflakes silently enveloped the entire battlefield.

Chapter 436 Mysterious Prophecy Sparks Panic

Bronze snow fell on Naruto's trembling eyelashes, the icy touch seeping into his eyes.

The Nine-Tails' chakra suddenly surged through his meridians, and he gripped his right wrist tightly, causing the sealing talisman to glow with dark red lines under his skin.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword clattered between the two, and the still-damp bloodstains on the blade suddenly emitted a mist of indigo.

It seems someone cracked the secret of the Starfall Altar before us. Onoki hovered in mid-air, countless miniature Gates of the Underworld projected from his palm by the Dust Release crystal.

The doors, no bigger than a fingernail, were slowly opening, and a dark purple, viscous substance seeped out from the cracks.

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release armor erupted with blinding lightning, and the reflection of the crimson moon on the breastplate suddenly cracked into a spiderweb pattern.

Granny Chiyo's puppet strings wrapped around his arm armor: Don't use brute force!

These strange phenomena were all projections of some kind of sealing technique. Her wrinkled fingers brushed across the mirror surface, and the pattern of the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared clearly in the cracks.

Naruto suddenly knelt on one knee, and the tailed beast chakra uncontrollably formed an orange cloak.

The scattered bronze snowflakes in his vision suddenly coalesced into the outline of a mysterious girl, whose transparent fingertips were pointing towards the spot sealed in his heart.

As Sasuke's Sharingan swept across, the girl's phantom suddenly exploded into countless points of light, each reflecting the iconic buildings of different ninja villages collapsing.

Returning to Konoha. When Sasuke sheathed his sword, the rubbing of the Starfall Altar in his ninja tool pouch was already soaked in bronze liquid.

The dark blue liquid automatically outlined a map of the five great nations on the parchment, with each tailed beast altar marked in blood red. The Sand Village's puppet techniques, the Cloud Village's lightning armor, the Rock Village's dust release... He scanned the ninja tools carried by everyone; each of us carried fragments of keys.

On the return journey, the bronze snow gleamed eerily in the moonlight.

Onoki manipulated the rock carpet, and the Dust Release crystals formed a protective barrier above everyone's heads.

As the Raikage tentatively channeled his chakra into the protective mirror, a crack in the mirror suddenly revealed an ancient shrine covered in vines—the very place where the First Hokage sealed the Gedo Mazo twenty years ago.

I dealt with a similar prophecy thirty years ago. Onoki's Dust Release projected a memory image within the barrier: the young Third Tsuchikage stood before a burning meteorite altar, with a black stone slab inscribed with the Yomi Monograph floating in the center of the altar.

The image suddenly twisted into a vortex, and the text on the stone slab was exactly the same as the cipher left on Sasuke's sword tip.

The Konoha Archives are filled with the scent of old parchment.

As Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan swept across the forbidden scroll area, a dusty copy of "The Six Paths Sage Techniques Examination" suddenly opened automatically.

A half-bronze crescent moon was sandwiched between the yellowed pages of the book, perfectly matching the scar on Naruto's palm.

Granny Chiyo's puppet strings suddenly tightened: Watch out!

The binding of this book is made of the Second Tsuchikage's hair.

As Naruto concentrated the Nine-Tails' chakra at his fingertips and gently touched the bronze crescent moon, the scroll of the entire forbidden technique area simultaneously floated up.

Countless ancient characters were peeled from the scroll and reassembled in the air to form the complete chapter of "The Prophecy of Doomsday".

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly stung as he saw a warning from the Sage of Six Paths hidden between the lines: when the secret techniques of the five great ninja villages simultaneously reflect the Yomi Inscription, the Gedo Mazo will devour the starry sky of the present world.

"Found it!" Naruto suddenly pointed to a passage of text that shimmered with golden light. Kurama said that this incantation needed to be read using Sage Chakra. As he gathered natural energy and recited "All Things Under Heaven," the text on the ancient book suddenly began to flow, piecing together a floating, three-dimensional star map before everyone's eyes.

Each star corresponds to the fluctuation frequency of the tailed beast's chakra, and the trajectory connecting the stars forms the shape of the borders of the five great nations.

Granny Chiyo suddenly manipulated her puppet to cut off her little finger, using the seeping blood to draw the mark of Sunagakure on the star map: Thirty years ago, I participated in the sealing ritual to prevent Yomi's resurrection. When her blood droplet touched a certain star, it suddenly boiled, and a Gedo Mazo, bound by chains, slowly emerged at the center of the star map, with half of the broken Kusanagi Sword stuck in its head.

Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply, and the bronze liquid seeping from his ninja tool pouch suddenly turned into a thin stream, flowing along the star map's trajectory towards the Hokage Rock.

Naruto felt a sharp burning pain from the sealing array on his right hand, and the Nine-Tails' roar reverberated in his consciousness space: Kid!
