Chiyo's puppets crashed to the ground one after another, blood seeped from the Sharingan beneath Tobi's mask, and even the Akatsuki organization totem on Shingetsu's back faded.

As that eerie feeling of detachment spread to his heart, Naruto, before losing consciousness, vaguely saw moonlight piercing through thirty meters of rock, and the silhouette of a long-haired figure walking towards him on crystal shards. Her sleeves were embroidered with Kagura bells and bellflower patterns...

Chapter 469 The Substitute Has Been Found

Moonlight pierced through the rock layers and refracted into seven halos on the crystal fragments. Shinnozuki arrived gracefully, stepping on an ice staircase formed from reversed chakra.

Her wide, bluish-gray sleeves fluttered as twelve talismans encircled by shimenawa ropes were driven into the center of the swirling incantation, forcibly solidifying the dark red array eye that was about to close.

Water Escape·Qian Yin’s Coffin! .

As the fingertip forming the Snake Seal traced across Naruto's brow, ice crystals spread along the boy's bulging meridians.

The unconscious people were encased in a semi-transparent ice coffin. The bellflower patterns floating on the surface of the coffin clashed violently with the incantations, releasing a foul-smelling blood mist.

When Itachi Uchiha emerged from the reflection of the ice coffin, the three-tomoe jade was spreading blood-red ripples on the ice surface.

His fingertips, still stained with iron sand, lightly touched the ice coffin. Fragments of a scroll from twenty years ago unfolded in his Sharingan—on the mural of the underground altar in Sunagakure, Ebizo bit his thumb and pressed it against the forehead of a bandaged boy. The curse mark that appeared on the boy's back was none other than Byakuya's unique eight-petaled mandala.

The living seal requires the bloodline of the contractor to sustain it. Itachi's crow landed on Chiyo's scattered puppet joints. Byakuya took away thirty medical ninjas back then precisely to use their chakra to backfire on the evil god contract.

The ice coffin suddenly trembled violently.

Black sand gushing from the ground coalesced into Ebizo's distorted face, and sand iron carrying dark red chakra rained down on the ice layer.

Kanna Tsukikage ripped off the Kagura Bell necklace from her neck with a backhand motion, and the blood-stained bell melted into a thin, icy kunai in her palm.

Lead the children through the western underground river! She pierced her left eye with an ice kunai, and the gushing blood transformed into an ice dragon that tore through the sand and iron barrier. The evil god needed the Nine-Tails' complete chakra cycle, but now... The ice dragon's fangs bit into the collapsing ice coffin, throwing everyone towards a crack in the rock wall to find the location of the White Night's heart seal!

The moment the iron spikes pierced her right shoulder, Naruto, inside the ice coffin shards, suddenly opened his eyes.

In the boy's blurry vision, the jade pendant engraved with the pattern of Kagura bells traced a parabola, and the surface of the jade pendant reflected the last words of Kannazuki.

When the ice crystal-encased bellflower jade pendant fell into the palm of the hand, a burning sensation spread along the seal, and the Nine-Tails' chakra emitted a low, warning growl from the depths of the seal.

Wake up! Sasuke's Chidori Stream cleaved through the falling rocks, and in the lightning, Itachi's Susanoo skeleton was revealed to be dissipating.

Sakura's medical chakra transformed into cherry blossom-colored threads, barely managing to mend the shattered reincarnation core of Chiyo's puppet.

Gaara's Sand Eyes suddenly bled, and his trembling fingertips pressed against the puppeteer's back: "The ceasefire agreement my father signed twenty years ago... those medical units sent to various countries..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the roar of Shukaku coming from underground. The gourd on the back of the Sand Village boy exploded, and the yellow sand mixed with black sand condensed into a miniature version of Shukaku.

A substitute has been found. Itachi's Sharingan suddenly focused on Gaara's bleeding left ear. Ebizo used his half-tailed beast form to simulate the Nine-Tails' chakra circulation. His ninja sword suddenly pierced the forehead of the Sand Monk Shukaku, and from the broken sand, the phantom of Byakuya wrapped in bandages appeared.

Amidst the deafening roar of the ice coffin shattering, the final ice mirror of Shinnazukikage reflected a horrifying scene—thirty mummified corpses wrapped in runes were seeping from the rock wall, each with a Sand Village-style kunai stuck in its chest.

Her blood-stained white hair became entangled in the core of the black sand. At the moment the ice-cold ash was detonated, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a crisp sound of shattering mirror.

Naruto gripped the scorching jade pendant tightly amidst the shockwave, the Nine-Tails' chakra uncontrollably surging towards the bellflower pattern.

In a daze, he heard painful gasps coming from deep within the ice, a sound that resembled both the White Night and some ancient consciousness.

As Sasuke's Kusanagi sword cleaved through the last barrier of iron sand, the Kagura bell pattern on the jade pendant suddenly shone like a blood moon.

Chapter 470 The Eye of the White Night

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword was still embedded in the crack of the sand iron barrier, and the rubble wrapped in Nine-Tails chakra had already cut bloodstains on his face.

Naruto knelt on the edge of the cliff, the fox-like cloak around his neck billowing uncontrollably, and the Kagura bell pattern on the jade pendant crawling toward his skin as if it were alive.

"This thing is devouring my chakra!" Naruto roared, pressing down on the scorching hot jade pendant. The bellflower pattern suddenly expanded into a ball of light.

The hissing of the thirty mummified corpses pierced through the shards of the ice mirror, and the rock beneath their feet began to crack.

Karin's glasses suddenly fogged up with blood, and she stabbed the scalpel into her left arm with her other hand: It's a reverse spirit summoning array!

Byakuya is using our chakra to reconstruct her body! Blood seeped into the ground from her wrist, instantly congealing into a chakra network diagram.

When the seventh bloodline converged at the jade pendant's sphere of light, the vortex-shaped black flames exploded violently.

The phantom of the white night stepped out half of its body from the black flames, revealing skin covered with curse marks through the gaps in the bandages.

His left hand remained in the hand seal position, but his right eye had transformed into a scarlet kaleidoscope pattern: Twenty years... You actually used Hashirama cells to replicate the altar of the evil god? His hoarse voice, wrapped in a double tone, shook the ice coffin fragments, causing them to fall in a rustling sound.

Gaara manipulated his sand hand to grab Naruto as he was about to fall off a cliff. The moment the yellow sand touched the Nine-Tails' chakra, black moss sprouted. "Don't touch him!" Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton forcefully cut off the sand flow. Dazzling sparks erupted where the purple chakra met the black moss—these were the First Hokage's Wood Release spores!

Karin suddenly flung out three test tubes containing green medicine, the sound of shattering glass and her scream rang out at the same time: Byakuya has a double seal inside his body!

The ring-shaped chain formed by the First Hokage's cells is collapsing! The moment the drug mist touched the black flames, a giant tree phantom suddenly appeared above everyone's heads—it was the First Hokage's unique chakra manifestation.

Bai Ye's body suddenly convulsed, and black, root-like thorns shot out from the gaps in the bandages.

He clutched his left eye in agony, and the kaleidoscope pattern began to rotate in reverse: Quick... use the Flying Thunder God Slash to cut through my heart... Ah! The roar abruptly stopped, replaced by some ancient whisper.

The black flames surged and formed twelve pillars of fire, surrounding the entire cliff face as an altar.

"A little trick by Sunagakure." Ebizo's sneer came from underground, and the shattered Shukaku sand suddenly coalesced into the shape of a hunched old man.

The puppet strings in his hand were connected to thirty mummies. The medical units that were given to various countries back then were not just for treating the wounded... The sand kunai on the chests of the mummies glowed with blood, drawing a six-pointed star array at Bai Ye's feet.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly bled, and he saw that each point of the six-pointed star had the mark of a different ninja village: this was the blood pact seal from the Five Kage Summit!

You are using the power of the alliance between the major ninja villages to feed the evil god!

The fox spirit cloak on Naruto's body was suddenly completely absorbed by the jade pendant, and the bellflower pattern formed a chakra vortex on his chest.

Nine golden chains burst from the earth, but transformed into jet-black vines the instant they touched the white night. Karin!

How long does it take for the forbidden techniques of Konoha to work? Gaara's Sand Eyes are bleeding again, and Shukaku's forepaws, now in its half-tailed beast form, have pierced into cracks in the rock.

three minutes!

But the chakra supply to the thirty mummies needs to be cut off simultaneously! The medical ninja ripped open his blood-stained white coat, revealing his abdomen covered in sealing runes. He used my body as a vessel for the technique, but once it began...

Her unfinished words were drowned out by the roar of the white night.

A giant hand formed from black flames shattered the Susanoo skeleton. As Sasuke flew backward and crashed into the rock wall, the cold light of the Kusanagi sword just happened to sever the puppet strings of the two dried corpses.

Ebizo's phantom image instantly distorted: Uchiha brat!

Do you know why Madara chose...?

The blast wave carried away the last words.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Naruto infused the jade pendant with Sage Mode chakra, and Kagura's bell pattern suddenly detached from the pendant and floated in the air.

As the twelfth bell rang through the canyon, all the bandages on Bai Ye's body shattered, revealing the cracked Thousand Hands Clan emblem on his chest.

Karin's sealing technique was finally complete, and the runes on her abdomen flowed along with her blood toward Byakuya: Now!

Cut everything...! The medical ninja's shout suddenly changed—deep within the cracked clan emblem of the White Night, a golden light with a wood-like texture was trying to break free from the black flames' restraints.

Meanwhile, the Ebizo puppet, located far at the edge of the altar, had somehow managed to grasp the chakra crystal belonging to the First Hokage.

Chapter 471 The Ruins of the Earth Grudge Cave in the Land of Thunder

The golden runes suspended between the cliffs suddenly solidified, and the blood droplets vomited by Xianglin hovered three inches above the ground.

The clan crest on Byakuya's chest burst forth with dazzling golden light, and the First Hokage's translucent figure was like ripples breaking through the surface of water, his long black hair brushing against Naruto's blood-stained headband.

A cage woven from natural energy. The First Hokage's palm rested lightly on Sasuke's shattered Susanoo, instantly coating the indigo skeleton with Wood Release patterns, the Nine-Tails' Yang Release clashing with the Iwagakure's Light-Weight Rock Release—

Old man, stop teaching students! Onoki's Dust Release beam grazed the First Hokage's afterimage and pierced through the mountain. The puppet strings of thirty mummies became visible in the bright light. Listen up, brats!

Southeast in three seconds!

Sasuke's blood dripped from his right eye, leaving scorch marks on the sand, while the Kusanagi sword, carrying the Chidori spear, pierced through the rock.

The Tailed Beast Ball that Naruto had gathered in his palm suddenly changed direction, and the nine chakra tails wrapped around the porcelain medicine bottle that Orochimaru had thrown.

The snake's eyes gleamed in the shadows: Tobirama Senju's improved Impure World Reincarnation potion—exchanged for that guy's heart's blood.

Karin's sealing runes suddenly emitted a sound like shattering glass.

The golden light from the wood on Byakuya's chest broke through the black flames, and the phantom of the First Hokage suddenly pressed down on Naruto's shoulder: Use my chakra as a medium!

Sorry! Naruto's Wind Release: Shuriken sliced ​​open Byakuya's right arm. The moment the dark red blood collided with the liquid in the celadon bottle, the entire canyon's ley lines roared like dragons.

Onoki's Earth Release barrier, carrying the Tailed Beast's chakra, soared into the sky, while the First Hokage's Wood Release branches grew wildly into towering trees within the pillar of light.

Hashirama-sama's chakra... Wooden spikes suddenly sprouted from the crystal in Ebizo's puppet's hand, and the phantom of the Sand Village advisor twisted and writhed in the entanglement of tree roots. The evil god you buried with your own hands back then has now been resurrected using the Senju bloodline!

The phantom of the evil god emerging from the golden pillar of light emitted a scream like that of an infant crying.

The skin beneath the bandages in the white night rapidly carbonized and peeled off, and Orochimaru's Hidden Shadow Snake Hand suddenly pierced through the space-time barrier, grabbing the skull that was turning to skeletal form.

Before the phantom of the First Hokage dissipated, it suddenly stared at Naruto: Go to the ruins of the Land of Lightning's Grudge Fear.

As Sasuke's Kagutsuchi arrow pierced Orochimaru's left shoulder, a sinister smile flashed in the snake-like vertical pupils.

Karin's sealing technique finally coalesced into a blood-red amber, sealing the remaining black flames of the evil god three hundred feet underground.

When the smoke cleared, only the Wood Release leaf in Naruto's palm still retained the warmth of the First Hokage's chakra.

That bastard took more than just corpses. Sasuke's Rinnegan swept over the dissipating snake scales on the cliff face, and Byakuya's final burst of chakra... It was very similar to the technique we saw in the Land of Rain.

Onoki suddenly clutched his chest and knelt down. Chakra crystals that had been splashed out when the Dust Release barrier shattered shimmered in his wrinkles: This Senju kid actually has the First Hokage's chakra source hidden inside him... Hey!

The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!

Naruto stared blankly at the Wood Release patterns that had materialized from the leaves in his palm. The chakra trails remaining in his Sage Mode senses were pointing towards the churning thunderclouds in the northern sky.

Sasuke's wiping of the Kusanagi sword suddenly stopped—in the reflection of the sword, a bronze bell engraved with the Uzumaki clan crest was emitting blue smoke from Naruto's ninja tool pouch.

The laboratory's bulletproof glass shattered into emerald-colored fragments under the impact of Sage Chakra.

As Naruto charged into the core area, stepping on the splashing liquid metal, he saw Orochimaru's pale fingertips tracing across the surface of the crystal container. Dark purple chakra flowed along the twelve prisms on the container's surface, staining the suspended Byakuya consciousness inside with an ominous crimson hue.

Chapter 472 The Mystery of the Snake Shadow

This isn't a birthday party for you, Nine-Tailed Fox. Orochimaru's snake eyes lit up in the shadows, and twenty-three large white-scaled snakes suddenly descended from the ceiling.

The moment three of the snakes wrapped around Naruto's wrists, the bandages, smelling of disinfectant, precisely severed the snake heads.

The medical ninja's leap from the ventilation shaft created a series of metallic clanging sounds as twelve Healing Palm Spheres were embedded in the guard's spinal nerves. There was something wrong with the chakra flow within the container! Her trembling index finger traced a medical diagram in the air; the chakra vortexes at the Sanyinjiao and Baihui acupoints were merging—this was the meridian structure of the emerging evil god!

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword was suddenly placed in front of Naruto's neck.

The sword's blade reflected the swirling clan emblem that appeared on the surface of the crystal container, resonating with the bronze bell that was emitting smoke from Naruto's ninja tool pouch.

Inside the container, Byakuya's eyelids suddenly snapped open, and Orochimaru's ecstatic face was reflected in his blood-red pupils.

It seems Hiruzen-sensei's sealing technique needs an upgrade. Orochimaru suddenly spewed liquid chakra from his sleeve, and the entire laboratory floor began to crack.

As the sound of gears meshing from underground came from the self-destruct device, Kabuto Yakushi's kunai had already pierced his own heart.

Naruto's shadow clone grabbed Shizune by the collar and retreated rapidly.

The splattered blood congealed into black runes in the air, and a hiss escaped from Kabuto's tattered throat: "The cells of the First Hokage... truly the best sacrifice..." The blood mist that burst from his chest enveloped the crystal container, and thick black liquid suddenly seeped from the obsidian ground, a specialty of the Land of Lightning.

Dust Release: Particle Style!

Onoki's roar pierced through three layers of rock walls, but dissipated into points of light the moment it touched the black mist.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly contracted—the surface of the black mist that had swallowed the Dust Release was now showing hexagonal patterns identical to those of the Rain Country ruins.

As he slammed Naruto through the east wall by the collar, the entire laboratory had already transformed into a twisted black vortex.

Three days later, torrential rain washed away the ruins of Otogakure.

Silently picked up half a blood-stained snake scale with tweezers and suddenly noticed an irregular crystal embedded in the scorched earth ten meters away.

As she cut open the crystal's surface with her chakra scalpel, a bloodstain containing the chakra of Gentle Fist suddenly fluoresced bluish-white under the moonlight.

This is...

The bronze bell in Naruto's backpack exploded into powder without warning.

Sasuke wiped the metal shards from his face, and the ripples of his Rinnegan swept over the burn marks at the edge of the bloodstains—those were clearly the special holes left by the Hyuga clan's pressure point techniques.

The torrential rain wove a gray curtain above the scorched ruins of Otogakure.

Silently, her knuckles white, gripped the blood-stained snake scale, the chakra scalpel scraping against the crystal's surface, creating tiny sparks.

As bluish-white fluorescence seeped from the thirty-seven burning holes, Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly detected a violently contracting chakra pulse three hundred meters underground.

Back off!

The moment Naruto pulled Shizune and rolled three zhang away, twelve kunai, enveloped in a pale blue vortex, burst forth from the ground.

The Hyuga clansmen's snow-white robes tore through the rain, and the veins bulging on Hyuga's forehead writhed like living things. His Byakugan suddenly froze when it swept over the bronze fragments left in Naruto's backpack.
