Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly rippled with patterns, and he pressed one hand on Naruto's shoulder: There's a problem with the flow of the earth's veins!

Those shadowy figures are flowing backward! The purple skeleton of Susanoo suddenly unfolds, but cracks appear the moment it touches the blood-red moonlight.

Both of them groaned simultaneously, the excruciating pain from the disordered chakra feeling as if a thousand steel needles were piercing their bone marrow.

Dust Release: Particle Style! Onoki's short body suddenly appeared above the demonic phantom's head, his hands forming a cube-shaped barrier that carried the lightning bolts unleashed by Raikage.

However, the energy storm, powerful enough to cut through space, was completely absorbed by the single horn on the demon's forehead.

As the old man was thrown away by the recoil, the scroll hidden at his waist suddenly emitted a faint light—it was a sealing artifact that Chiyo, the advisor of Sunagakure, had given him during the melee.

Naruto's pupils suddenly contracted.

The faded clan emblem on the scroll's surface was exactly the same as the brand on the forehead of the mysterious girl who had saved him three days earlier.

Fragments of memory suddenly surged: the star array that the girl drew with chakra before she disappeared was now perfectly overlapping with the magic circle patterns that had cracked under the demon's feet.

Kurama! Naruto sank his consciousness into the sealed space, the Nine-Tailed Fox's vertical pupils were almost within reach, was that totem...?

In the era of the Six Paths Elder, there once existed a tribe skilled in celestial sealing. The demon fox bared its fangs, its tail thrashing restlessly against the water's surface. Their forbidden technique, a sacrifice of life, was a perfect counter to this life-devouring evil creature.

The roar of the real world suddenly drew closer.

Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton shattered with a crash, and the Raikage was entangled in the right leg by the demon's tentacles and flung against the rock wall.

As soon as Chiyo's puppet horde approached the edge of the magic circle, it was corroded into molten iron by the surging black mist.

Ebizo suddenly leaped out of the shadows, his kunai aimed directly at Naruto's back: He mustn't be allowed to awaken the Starfall Seal!

Sage Art: Frog Technique! The natural energy erupting from Naruto's body sent Ebizo flying back three feet. He turned and roared: Sasuke!

Can the Sharingan track the flow of chakra?

I need the coordinates of the leyline nodes precisely!

The purple-clad youth wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a six-pointed star pattern appeared on his Rinnegan: Onoki, use your strongest Earth Release to fix the southeast direction!

Raikage, channel Lightning Release chakra into the node I marked! The remaining ribs of Susanoo suddenly transformed into purple chains, temporarily imprisoning the demonic phantom that attempted to ambush.

The Third Tsuchikage coughed up blood and laughed: "Young man, you really know how to boss an old man around!" The moment he slammed his palms on the ground, the earth veins within a hundred miles roared like dragons, and countless rock pillars rose from the ground to form a three-dimensional array.

The Fourth Raikage's body erupted with lightning, unleashing chains of lightning along the seventeen nodes marked by Sasuke's eye power.

Now! Naruto bit his finger and drew a star-shaped blood mark on his palm, and the Nine-Tails' chakra poured into the earth's veins along the Sage Mode lines.

Deep within his consciousness, the scene before the mysterious girl vanished resurfaced—when her fingertip touched Naruto's brow, starlight flowed along the chakra meridians and into his dantian.

The demonic phantom in the center of the magic circle suddenly let out a shriek, and the spatial rift created by its bat wings began to twist.

Chiyo's puppet remains suddenly formed a shield, blocking the flying crystal fragments for Naruto: "I won't let Sunagakure's treasure be tarnished!" She bit her finger and flicked out a bead of blood, and the corroded puppet fragments actually reformed into a star compass in the bloody light.

Not enough... Naruto felt as if his entire body's meridians were about to be torn apart by the two opposing energies, and the fusion of the Nine-Tails' chakra and the mysterious starlight created a strange resonance.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly burst forth with a bright light, and he placed one hand on Naruto's back: Use Yin-Yang Release to harmonize!

You have remnants of the Sage of Six Paths within you...

The demon's claws suddenly pierced through the space-time barrier, and the rock pillar array supported by the Third Tsuchikage collapsed with a roar.

Chapter 451 Betting on the Name of Shadow

Just as the claws were about to touch Naruto's throat, a star-shaped clan emblem suddenly appeared on his ninja headband, and a phantom of a girl gracefully descended from the blood moon.

Guided by the stars, bound by blood, Naruto uncontrollably formed unfamiliar hand seals, and a powerful golden light burst forth from every pore.

As black blood simultaneously flowed from the demonic phantom's three bloodshot eyes, the starlight gathering in his palm suddenly transformed into a sharp arrow—

The beam of light, seemingly fallen from the ancient starry sky, resonated strangely with the Nine-Tails' chakra the instant it touched the core of the magic circle.

The demon's bat wings suddenly folded into a cocoon, and the flow of time in the entire space became as viscous as honey.

Naruto saw a thin, hair-like star-shaped line extending from the tip of the light arrow, rapidly spreading along the fissures in the earth's veins towards a distant direction... The moment the star-shaped arrow pierced the core of the magic circle, the entire space emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the black cocoon formed by the demon's curled-up body, and the rock pillar array reinforced by the Third Tsuchikage suddenly emitted an earthy yellow light, echoing the seventeen nodes marked by Sasuke's Rinnegan.

Lightning Release: Lightning Plow Blade! The Fourth Raikage's lightning surged threefold, accompanied by a deafening roar as he slashed towards the array's core in the northeast corner.

Chiyo's ten fingers suddenly tightened the puppet threads, and the fragments that had reassembled into a star compass actually drew in the lightning to form a spiral drill.

The star-shaped clan emblem in Naruto's palm suddenly became scorching hot, and he saw golden light surging from the depths of the earth's veins, frantically converging along the nodes marked by Sasuke.

When the Raikage's Lightning Release and the Tsuchikage's Rock Pillar struck the three key points of the formation simultaneously, the shriek emanating from the Demon Cocoon caused the altar floor to crack open into a bottomless chasm.

Now! Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly reflected the entire magic circle, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand, wrapped in Amaterasu black flames, pierced into the fourth eye of the circle.

The golden-red wave formed by the fusion of Nine-Tails chakra and starlight poured into the core of the magic circle along the fissures in the earth's veins.

The cracks on the surface of the demon cocoon expanded instantly, and viscous black blood gushed out from the gaps.

Chiyo suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the star compass she was controlling emitted a piercing metallic scraping sound: Someone is interfering with the flow of the earth's veins! Before she finished speaking, the southwest array eye, which should have been destroyed, suddenly burst out with a purplish-black light.

With three kunai stuck in his maimed right arm, Ebizo laughed maniacally as he slammed the blood-stained scroll into the ground: "The Sand Village's Meteor Shower Technique isn't meant to benefit you!"

The black mist rising from the edge of the magic circle suddenly condensed into seven diamond-shaped barriers, and the Raikage's lightning release was bounced back the moment it hit the barriers.

The rock pillar barrier erected by Onoki was blasted open by the backlash of his own Dust Release, and Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton, which he had hastily deployed, shattered into chakra chips in the energy turbulence.

"You old bastard, are you insane?!" The Raikage's right shoulder was burned by the rebounding lightning. He glared at Ebizo behind the barrier with bloodshot eyes. This damned thing would drain the earth's veins from the entire continent!

Ebizo's sunken eye sockets glowed with an eerie purple light, and the phantom of Sunagakure behind him was being eroded by black mist: Those in power will never understand... cough cough... only absolute destruction can... The hoarse roar suddenly stopped, and his withered body cracked like broken pottery, but what gushed out was not blood, but viscous earth vein essence.

The cracks in the demon cocoon began to heal under the nourishment of the black mist, and runes of the Sand Concealment Puppet Technique appeared on the surface of the seven barriers.

Naruto suddenly pressed down on the violently pulsating star emblem of the clan, and Kurama issued a warning in his consciousness space: Watch out!

These barriers absorb the energy of the attack and feed it back to the demon!

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly detected a special pattern on the barrier: each barrier corresponds to the Big Dipper, and the attack trajectory must form the handle of the Dipper pointing in the direction of the Big Dipper! He threw out a kunai with an explosive tag to test it, and as the flames streaked along the trajectory of the Big Dipper, the barrier indeed showed a slight ripple.

Seven star positions need to be hit simultaneously. Onoki coughed up blood as he propped himself up; his right arm, which had been struck by the backlash, was petrified, but our chakra...

Naruto suddenly tore open his tattered headband, and the star-shaped clan emblem on his forehead shone with golden light: "Use my chakra as a guide!" The Nine-Tailed Fox's roar shook the surface of the sealed space, causing it to boil. The golden and red chakra cloak suddenly peeled off, revealing seven clones, each with starlight flickering in its palm.

The Raikage's body crackled with lightning once more: "I'll stake my reputation as a Kage!" Onoki unleashed a white light of Dust Release with both palms, and Chiyo's puppet threads precisely wrapped around everyone's wrists.

As Sasuke's Rinnegan reflected the Big Dipper constellation, seven attacks, each imbued with a different elemental chakra, simultaneously slammed into the barrier—

The moment the last ray of lightning disappeared into the Tian Shu star position, the seven layers of barriers suddenly refracted a rainbow halo like a prism.

The healing process of the demon cocoon came to an abrupt halt, but before everyone could rejoice, they saw all the attack energy condense into a pitch-black sphere of light inside the barrier.

When the star-shaped clan emblem identical to the one on Naruto's forehead appeared on the surface of the sphere of light, the entire magic circle suddenly began to rotate in reverse...

Chapter 452 Time-Space Dislocation

The air instantly condensed into a gel-like substance, and the reverse-rotating magic circle frantically drew everyone's chakra towards its core.

Chiyo's puppet threads suddenly tightened, and her ten finger joints, formed from iron sand, cracked under the strain: This vortex is devouring our power!

It wasn't devouring. Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly contracted, the six-tomoe star spinning wildly deep within his iris, the attack energy being transformed by the starlight into... Before he could finish speaking, the entire ley line suddenly bulged up like a giant beast turning over, the altar that had sealed the demon exploded, and jet-black bone wings, carrying magma, burst from the ground.

The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release barely protected everyone when stone chips suddenly fell from his cracked right arm: it was a spacetime distortion!

That star-shaped emblem is accelerating the flow of time! Before the words were even finished, a sickening sound of bone growth came from the demon cocoon that had been cut in half. The ancient demon, which should have needed seven days to resurrect, had now grown a complete spinal outline.

The Raikage's lightning armor exploded with countless arcs of electricity, and the moment he shattered the ground, he suddenly turned and lunged at Chiyo.

Three puppet decoys were torn to shreds by demonic claws, while the real Sand Village advisor was having his ankle entangled by puppet strings secretly controlled by Ebizo. Damn it! The instant the Raikage's Lightning Slash severed the puppet strings, Chiyo shot a poisoned senbon from her sleeve, forcing Ebizo, who was trying to hide in the shadows, to reveal his true form.

Kurama! Naruto's clan crest on his forehead suddenly burst forth with intense golden light, and the nine chakra tailed beast cloaks swelled in the wind.

He formed an unprecedented Zi-Wu-Shen seal with both hands, and the boiling chakra condensed into a materialized star map around his body: this was the technique engraved in that ruin! Suddenly, the seven clones pressed their chests at the same time, and golden chains burst out from their spines, precisely piercing the seven reversal nodes of the magic circle.

Sasuke's Susanoo arrow, wreathed in Amaterasu black flames, was devoured by the crimson runes the instant it touched the demon's bone wings.

His pupils constricted sharply: These incantations... originated from the same stone tablet as Kaguya's era! The power of the Rinnegan suddenly flowed uncontrollably toward the demon, and it wasn't until Chiyo manipulated the Chikamatsu Ten Ninja to erect a chakra barrier that the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release barrier barely managed to cut off this suction force.

Lightning Smash: Chiyo's Dance! The combined attack of the Raikage and Chiyo unleashes a thunderous storm, and hundreds of puppet parts reassemble into a giant cleaver amidst the lightning.

As the blade cleaved through the demon's third rib, a corrosive liquid suddenly gushed from the dark purple marrow, melting a grotesque gash into the Raikage's right shoulder armor.

Now! Onoki coughed up blood and floated into the air, the Dust Release cube compressed to its limit between his palms gleaming with starlight.

Bloodshot veins burst from the corners of his wrinkled eyes: The technique I failed to complete thirty years ago—Dust Release: Starfall Debonding Technique! The moment the white beam of light pierced through the demon's chest, golden chains lit up at seven star points simultaneously, firmly pinning the materializing demon skeleton to mid-air.

Naruto suddenly felt his heart being gripped by an invisible hand, and a searing pain emanated from the clan crest on his forehead.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's roar reverberated through the consciousness space: Kid!

This thing is resonating with your bloodline! He saw Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly reflect a point of light deep within the demon skeleton—on the surface of that pulsating, pitch-black core, a reverse pentagram that mirrored the Star Clan emblem was clearly visible.

Sasuke! Naruto's nine chakra tails suddenly twisted into a drill shape, and golden runes flowed across the surface of the azure Rasenshuriken. "Use that!"

Susanoo slowly drew back its giant purple bow, and Amaterasu's arrow wrapped around the spiral sword formed by Kagutsuchi.

As the two distinct forces began to resonate, the demon skeleton suddenly emitted a deafening shriek, and the ribs shattered by Dust Escape began to grow in reverse.

The entire earth vein surged and churned as if alive, throwing everyone into the air.

Chiyo's bleeding puppet strings wove a chakra net in the raging wind, while the Third Tsuchikage's Weighted Rock Technique turned the Raikage into a golden meteor.

Just as the demonic claws were about to tear apart the chakra net, Naruto's Rasenshuriken and Sasuke's Fire Release arrow finally completed their final transformation—

Amidst the dazzling golden light, six incomplete immortal technique patterns emerged at the point where the two forces converged.

Chapter 453 I've been waiting for you

The moment the Rasenshuriken collided with the Flame Release arrow, space and time seemed to be torn open by a rift.

Suddenly, the tomoe pattern of the Sage of Six Paths appeared on Naruto's forehead, and the tomoe in Sasuke's Rinnegan resonated with the inverted pentagram of the Demon Core.

The Seeking the Dao Jade behind the two uncontrollably merged, and the silvery-white light that burst forth illuminated the entire ley line as if it were daytime.

So that's how it is... Onoki coughed up blood and floated in mid-air. The Dust Release barrier peeled off piece by piece in the bright light. The Starfall Debonding Technique requires the harmony of Yin and Yang! His cracked right arm suddenly exploded into rubble, and the chakra threads of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters wrapped around his waist and abdomen in time.

Chiyo's fingernails curled up, yet she still clung tightly to the Third Tsuchikage who was about to fall into the lava.

The demon skeleton emitted a crisp sound like shattering porcelain in the bright light.

The dark, bony wings, still carrying magma, crumbled inch by inch, revealing the pulsating, dark core within.

Ebizo suddenly sprang from the shadows, shooting out a puppet cone covered in purple venom from his sleeve—his target being Chiyo's back.

"I've been waiting for you!" The Raikage's Lightning Release armor suddenly swelled to three times its original size, and dazzling plasma erupted from the previously corroded wound on his right shoulder.

His lightning strike carved a scorched furrow in the ground, and his hand, wrapped in lightning chakra, precisely slashed at Ebizo's neck.

Before the Sand Village advisor's puppet substitute could disintegrate, the real body had already been trampled into the crumbling rock by the Raikage.

Sasuke's Susanoo arrow suddenly changed direction, and Amaterasu's black flames transformed into chains that bound Naruto as he was about to fall.

The magic circle beneath their feet suddenly reversed its rotation, and the demon fragments stripped away by Dust Escape began to converge towards the dark core. It was time reversal! Chiyo roared and tore off three puppet strings, and the remaining seven puppets of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters simultaneously lunged towards the core.

Naruto suddenly felt the Nine-Tails' chakra boiling uncontrollably.

He saw the golden chains extending from his spine resonate strangely with Sasuke's Yin-Yang Release, and fragmented ancient runes appeared at the point where the two forces converged. Sasuke! His nine tails suddenly twisted into drills and pierced the earth's veins. Did he remember the crack in the Valley of the End?

The purple giant bow of Susanoo let out a mournful cry, unable to bear the weight any longer.

Sasuke's Rinnegan's six-tomoe star suddenly stopped spinning, and he saw cuneiform script, identical to that of the Uchiha stone tablet, emerging from the depths of the demon's core.

The moment the spiral sword formed by Kagutsuchi pierced the core, the phantom images of the Sage of Six Paths' wings simultaneously unfolded behind the two.

The earth's veins fell silent amidst the earth-shattering explosion.

In the floating dust and mist, Ebizo's mutilated body was pinned to the altar ruins by rock spikes, and the puppet strings he manipulated were turning to ashes at a visible speed.

The inverted pentagram of the demon core split in two, and one half of it mysteriously disappeared into the clan crest on Naruto's forehead.

Success! The Raikage, his body charred black, knelt on one knee, his lightning armor emitting wisps of smoke.

The Third Tsuchikage was suspended in mid-air by Chiyo's puppet strings, and the Dust Release barrier was reduced to a thin layer, barely the size of a cicada's wing.

Sasuke's Susanoo slowly dissipated, and the tomoe flowing in his Rinnegan gradually disappeared into the depths of his iris.

Naruto suddenly staggered and fell to his knees.

Blood seeped from the Sage Mode markings on his neck, and his nine chakra tails uncontrollably swept away three rock pillars. "You loser!" Sasuke braced himself with his Kusanagi sword, his Sharingan suddenly detecting crimson chakra drifting from the demon fragments—this energy was reforming!

The cheers froze in mid-air before they could even begin.

The demon finger bone that Chiyo manipulated the puppet to pick up suddenly turned to ashes, and a muffled rumble of earth movement came from afar.
