Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Hyuga Hizashi's pupils suddenly contracted, and the wailing spirits in his Byakugan vision were actually dressed in the clothing of various daimyo.

So this is the true purpose of Sunagakure's Gold Sand Technique! Hizashi turned around, drew a kunai, and held it to Ebizo's throat. Using the souls of rulers from various countries to nurture the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, you siblings are simply sacrifices for Madara's resurrection!

A deep rumble came from the depths of the volcano, and Karin's newly formed right hand suddenly formed the Si (巳) seal uncontrollably.

Her unfocused pupils reflected Hashirama Senju's gradually clearer face, and the wooden fragments floating in the air suddenly coalesced into a tattered scroll—the very sealing diagram that her father had repeatedly copied in the Kusagakure laboratory.

Father... So you had already engraved the First Hokage's chakra into my genes long ago... Karin's voice suddenly turned into a heavy, mixed male and female voice, and her regenerated right hand burst out with a dazzling blue light.

Naruto, who was fighting against the Nine-Tails' chakra, suddenly groaned. The golden vertical line on his forehead cracked open, and dark red blood beads seeped out.

Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, finally capturing a crucial image amidst the chakra turbulence: within the black sand carrying the daimyo, every grain of sand was engraved with the puppet incantation of Sunagakure.

As he swung his sword at the nearest black sand spirit, the katana pierced through the afterimage and struck the suddenly appearing puppet string.

Using the souls of living people as the carriers of puppet strings, is this what you Sunagakure call the Will of Wind? Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly burst with lightning, piercing straight into a certain coordinate deep within the earth's veins along the puppet strings.

Amidst the roaring sound of boiling magma, the faint screams of Granny Chiyo could be heard.

The phantom of Hashirama Senju floating in the golden pillar of light suddenly raised his hand, and an overwhelming tree world instantly grew from the ground of the entire battlefield.

However, this time the target of the Wood Release attack was not Madara's remains, but the black sand spirits that were about to fall into the magma.

Yamato was shocked to discover that the remnant soul of the First Hokage was using Wood Release to reshape the physical bodies of the spirits.

"Hashirama!" Madara roared, his voice carrying the unique tremor of the Rinnegan. "You think these ants are worth saving?" His bone wings suddenly burst into countless bone spikes, but they transformed into pale butterflies the instant they touched the golden pillar of light.

When a butterfly landed on Karin's shoulder, the blue chakra in her right hand suddenly materialized into the shape of a Konoha headband.

A muffled sound, like a heartbeat, suddenly came from deep within the earth's veins, and cracks began to appear on the stone tablets that had been fixed in place by the arrival of the Tree Realm.

Hizashi's expression changed drastically. His Byakugan saw that every crack was flowing with energy more violent than the tailed beast's chakra.

When he tried to warn others, he found that his throat was being choked by some invisible force.

Karin's regenerated right hand suddenly pressed against Naruto's chest, abruptly stopping the reverse flow of Nine-Tails chakra.

In Sasuke's suddenly contracting pupils, the girl's damaged vocal cords emitted an ancient syllable that did not belong to this era: Release!

The half-scroll suspended in mid-air suddenly burst into flames, and before Hashirama Senju's phantom image dissipated, it suddenly smiled at Madara.

This smile, spanning sixty years, plunged the battlefield into an eerie silence, until the sharp crack of chains breaking echoed from the depths of the earth.

The stone tablets engraved with the crests of famous figures from various countries suddenly trembled and floated half an inch into the air, and the chakra seeping from the cracks in the stones outlined mysterious hexagrams on the surface of the magma.

Chapter 484 The Growing Hatred

Suddenly, the trigrams on the surface of the magma burst forth with blinding white light, and twelve floating stone tablets crashed down, forming a trigram array with a diameter of one hundred feet around the altar.

Karin staggered back half a step, and a burning pain suddenly shot through her newly formed right hand—the pale purple chakra veins had condensed under her skin into flame-shaped crimson lines, exactly like the mark on the forehead of the First Hokage's phantom before it dissipated.

Before her father died, he said it was a curse... Karin's trembling fingertips brushed across her burning skin, and the remaining dragon vein chakra suddenly boiled in her meridians. So you used the genetic experiments of Kusagakure to cover up the Hokage's legacy?

Dozens of cracks suddenly appeared deep within the volcanic rock layer, and thousands of bone spikes burst forth from the ground, only to turn to dust the moment they touched the Bagua diagram.

Byakuya's tattered body broke free from the sealed coffin entwined by serpents, and the rotting bone wings on his back peeled off in a rustling sound, turning into black mist carrying curse seals and surging towards the core of the array: Hashirama!

Do you think you can destroy the evil god's contract by using the Will of Fire?

Just as the black mist-condensed claws were about to tear apart the First Hokage's remaining chakra, Madara's phantom suddenly emitted a piercing metallic scraping sound.

The wavy patterns of the Rinnegan looked as if they had been cut by a sharp blade. The left half of his face maintained the Sharingan shape of the Uchiha clan crest, while the right half of his face showed the Sage Mode pattern unique to Hashirama Senju.

The split faces spoke simultaneously, and the overlapping sound waves caused Sasuke's Susanoo armor to crack inch by inch.

So that's how it is... Yamato suddenly released the technique that suppressed the Nine-Tails' chakra, and formed the hand seals for Wood Release: Tree World Wall. The First Hokage didn't seal the Gedo Mazo with the Myojinmon back then!

The kunai from the Japanese chariot drew blood from Ebizo's neck: Say it!

What exactly did you Sunagakure bury in the earth's veins? His Byakugan suddenly detected Granny Chiyo's chakra flowing through the puppet strings into the Eight Trigrams Formation. Those floating gold dust particles had somehow seeped into the meridians of all the ninjas; these grains of sand were devouring our chakra...

Before the words were finished, the twelve suspended stone tablets simultaneously burst forth with blood-red light.

The flame patterns on Karin's arm suddenly extended into chakra chains, pulling Naruto, who was about to fall into the magma, back to the center of the formation.

The girl's damaged vocal cords emitted a hoarse roar: The sealing formula that my father used me as a vessel to preserve... actually resonated with the dragon vein!

The black mist that the white night had transformed into suddenly froze in mid-air, and dense sealing runes emerged from the surging curse seals.

The chakra remaining from Hashirama Senju suddenly materialized into half a wooden dragon, with the Hokage's hat that was broken during the battle at the Valley of the End being inlaid at the dragon's head: Back then, you voluntarily accepted the power of the evil god in exchange for victory in the war, but now you want the entire ninja world to be buried with your greed.

A deafening roar came from the depths of the earth's veins, and the souls that had been fixed in place by the descent of the tree realm suddenly began to distort.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly bled, and he saw that in the black sand that carried the daimyo, every grain of sand reflected Kakashi's figure fighting bitterly in the Kamui dimension.

When he tried to use his Heavenly Hand Power to change the spatial coordinates, he found that his limbs were tightly bound by puppet strings made of gold dust.

A true living sacrifice... Madara's split face suddenly merged into a vortex-like energy body, the ripples of the Rinnegan and the Wood Release chakra intertwined into a strange spiral, the hatred that had been growing for sixty years!

Karin suddenly let out a painful scream as flame patterns spread from her right arm to her heart.

At the center of the suspended Bagua diagram, the chakra remaining from the First Hokage suddenly transformed into the Myojinmon seal, simultaneously enveloping Byakuya's black mist and Madara's phantom.

The twelve stone tablets shattered in response, and the flying shards formed a new sealing array in the air, with black mist carrying gold dust gushing out from each crack.

Hizashi's kunai suddenly slipped from his hand and fell into the lava. His Byakugan saw tens of thousands of puppet cores emerging from the depths of the earth's veins.

The surfaces of those metal spheres, each bearing the insignia of a ninja village from various countries, were all wrapped in the Wood Release chakra unique to the First Hokage.

So the so-called inheritance... Karin knelt on the edge of boiling magma, her newly grown right hand suddenly forming three consecutive hand seals: Snake, Sheep, and Monkey. Was it using the ninjas of an entire era as sealing vessels?

The suspended Ming Shen Gate suddenly burst forth with a blue light, completely shredding the energy of Ban and Bai Ye.

However, in the intense light that illuminated the entire crater, no one noticed that on the back of a piece of rubble engraved with the Konoha symbol, a scarlet Sharingan quietly opened—the three tomoe spinning in that pupil were reflecting, at an eerie angle, the last hand seal of the First Hokage before his disappearance.

Chapter 485 Reverse Combination

The roaring sound of churning magma was suddenly drowned out by some kind of vibration from a higher dimension.

Kakashi's headband automatically opened amidst the chakra turbulence, and his three-tomoe Sharingan frantically spun, capturing unnatural folds in the void—the remnant soul of the First Hokage was weaving a symbiotic circuit with Madara's obsession through Wood Release chakra, and those patterns that looked like sealing techniques were actually connected to the puppet core deep within the earth's ley lines.

A reverse combination of Summoning Jutsu and Impure World Reincarnation! Kakashi's fingertips touched the crack in the Six Paths Sage Mask at his waist, and the Yang Release chakra left over from when Minato Namikaze sealed the Nine-Tails twenty years ago suddenly surged into his pupils.

He suddenly ripped off the mask strap, and the flying shards reflected in the air the image of countless ninjas having their hearts pierced by wood release branches.

The boiling magma suddenly solidified into steps.

Danzo's right arm, wrapped in bandages, burst forth from the flames, supporting a bronze box. The leaf emblem on the box's surface was engulfing the blue light emanating from the Myojin Gate.

As he crushed the last rolling lava, the sealing technique that the Third Hokage had inscribed on the bottom of the box before his death suddenly shone in the sky—it perfectly matched the hand seals that the First Hokage had formed before he vanished.

What the First Hokage truly wanted to seal away was the ninjas' greed for power itself. Danzo tapped the box with his severed finger, and a sticky liquid mixed with gold dust seeped from the twelve blood grooves. Twenty years ago, when he personally transformed the Hokage Rock into an altar, he entrusted the key to the person who most resembled Madara Uchiha.

Suddenly, a cracking sound of bones breaking came from the other side of the altar.

Before the lightning blade piercing the Cloud Ninja's chest could even hit the ground, the Finance Minister's ruby-encrusted scepter had already plunged into the throat of the Wind Country's Daimyo.

When the three souls enveloped in chakra aura were absorbed into the Sharingan at the tip of the staff, the flattering incantations on the surface of the staff suddenly transformed into the ripples of the Rinnegan.

You ants simply don't understand! The Finance Minister's skin began to carbonize as he absorbed the soul of the fifth Daimyo, yet the Sharingan at the tip of his scepter emitted a light more intense than magma. Madara-sama's Eye of the Moon Plan must be fueled by the combined greed of the five great nations—

Kakashi suddenly threw out a kunai wrapped with lightning.

The pulsating electric arc split into a spiderweb the moment it touched the scepter, precisely severing the chakra threads connecting the insignia of the ninja villages of various countries.

Taking advantage of the situation, Danzo pressed the bronze box into the magma, and the gushing gold dust suddenly solidified in mid-air into the profile of the First Hokage.

Hiashi! Kakashi's roar, resonating with chakra, transformed into a tangible sonic wave, and the puppet core within the earth's veins synchronized with its heartbeat!

Hyuga Hizashi on the shore of the lava lake had already pushed his Byakugan to its limit.

His trembling hands pressed against the boiling rock wall. In his 360-degree field of vision, tens of thousands of puppet cores contracted and throbbed like a heart, and black sand seeped from the raised ninja village insignia on the surface of each metal sphere.

When a puppet core bearing the Hyuga clan crest suddenly cracked open, he finally saw that the black sand contained the fragmented souls of ninjas who had died in battle throughout the ages.

So this is the price of inheritance... Hijiri's Heavenly Reversal Shield flickered amidst the rampaging earth vein energy, and the Bagua Palm Chakra gathered in his palm began to rotate unconsciously.

He suddenly noticed that all the black sand was flowing in the direction that Danzo had opened the bronze box—or rather, the starting stance of some ancient eye technique that was taking shape inside the box.

A sharp shriek, like the cry of a thousand birds, came from the depths of the magma. Suddenly, the sand-gold phantom of the First Hokage reached out and grabbed the bronze box.

At that moment, the Sharingan at the top of the Finance Minister's scepter burst forth with an eerie blood-red light. Kakashi saw that in a bead of sweat thirty meters away, the eighty-one chakra rings that silently appeared behind Hizashi were reflected.

Chapter 486 Delaying Formation Activated

Hyuga Hizashi's Byakugan veins bulged at his temples, and every puppet core in his 360-degree field of vision trembled and cracked.

The chakra spinning in his palm suddenly solidified into a luminous halo, and hundreds of Bagua Palm energy blades shot out with a flick of his elbow. His father had said before his death that the Hyuga clan's bloodline could sense spatial rifts—

Before he could finish speaking, blood suddenly burst from his left eye.

The flying fragments of the eyeball refracted countless swirling black sand patterns in mid-air, and the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms, which originally required thirty-two seals, were completed in an instant.

The net of air blades precisely cut into the fissures in the earth's veins, and the severed black sand emitted a piercing shriek similar to fingernails scraping against a ceramic jar.

Karin stumbled and crashed into a pillar formed of solidified lava.

She watched in horror as the flame patterns on her right arm writhed like living things, the dark red sealing formulas spreading along her blood vessels toward her heart. The First Hokage's seal was absorbing her life force... She suddenly ripped open her collar and pressed her burning arm against the chest of the First Hokage's gold dust phantom—at least this would delay the activation of the formation!

Suddenly, swirling chakra patterns appeared on the surface of the lava lake.

Bai Ye's figure emerged from the crack in the altar, the hem of his jet-black robe covered in a mucus resembling amniotic sac.

As his right hand gripped Naruto's shoulder, the sealing talisman on his left wrist suddenly glowed with an orange light that resonated with the Nine-Tails' chakra. You stupid Nine-Tails container!

Grab my wrist, let's be purified together by the original seal!

From the depths of the altar came an ancient echo, like the cry of a baby.

Just as Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak's chakra tentacles wrapped around Byakuya's wrist, the magma beneath their feet suddenly solidified into transparent crystals.

Kakashi noticed that the incantations floating on the surface of those crystals were exactly the same as those used by the Fourth Hokage twenty years ago during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Danzo's bronze box suddenly shook violently.

The Leaf Village emblem, which had originally been devouring the blue light, now seeped out a dark red liquid, and the gold dust gushing from the twelve blood grooves in the box condensed in mid-air into a complete phantom of the First Hokage.

The moment this chakra condensation reached out to grab the Finance Minister's scepter, nine tomoe suddenly split off from the Sharingan at the top of the scepter.

So you were the wedge left by Madara! Kakashi's Lightning Blade exploded with seven arcs of electricity at his fingertips, and his Sharingan captured the Hashirama cell texture emerging beneath the Finance Minister's carbonized skin.

As the leaping lightning shattered the surface of the scepter, the flying fragments of the Rinnegan formed miniature planetary explosions on the magma surface.

Suddenly, black blood oozed from Richa's remaining right eye.

In his shattered Byakugan vision, the severed black sand was reassembling into the outline of some kind of giant Tenseigan.

As the flame patterns on Karin's arm completely merged into the First Generation's phantom, the entire lava cave suddenly resounded with the resonance of the Corpse Bone Pulse recorded in Tobirama Senju's research notes.

Byakuya suddenly flung Naruto toward Kakashi.

His black robe turned to ashes in the chakra turbulence, revealing the dense array of Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Talismans on his chest. He told that gourd-playing kid in Sunagakure... his voice suddenly became like Orochimaru's hoarse tone, "The true power of Shukaku isn't for filling the sea—"

The moment the altar crystal shattered, Ebizo's puppet strings suddenly emerged from the cracks in the earth's veins.

The chakra fluctuations of this Sand Village advisor should have been masked by the rampaging earth vein energy, but for some reason, they strangely stopped at a certain location.

As the last crystal, which sealed the First Hokage's chakra, sank into the magma, the entire space suddenly fell into absolute silence, with only the rustling sound of gold dust rubbing together remaining.

Fine sand suddenly fell from the solidified lava dome, and a kind of chakra carrying the moisture of the desert silently seeped into the cracks in the earth's veins.

As Kakashi bent down to pick up a half-piece of the crystal with a fragment of the Sand Village headband, his Sharingan detected the outline of Shukaku formed from iron sand three hundred meters underground.

Chapter 487 Uchiha Orphan

Gravel fell from the solidified lava dome, and Shino Aburame's parasitic insects suddenly turned around in the chakra turbulence.

She pressed down on her headband, which had been flipped over by the heatwave, and her pupils behind the compound eye mask suddenly contracted—beneath Byakuya's tattered black robe, dark red sealing patterns were spreading along her ribs in a vortex shape, bearing a striking resemblance to the Bagua seal on Naruto's abdomen.

The swarm sensed the same source of chakra! Shino's exclamation was swallowed up by the sound of gold dust rubbing together.

The silk she flicked stuck to the back of Naruto's neck, and the microscope inside the beetle instantly compared the patterns.

Cold sweat trickled down her purplish fingernails, and fragments of the backup plan for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from the Anbu files twenty years ago surged through her memory.

In the chakra hurricane that suddenly erupted from the core of the altar, Byakuya's bone wings tore open the skin on his back.

Golden runes, sealing the surface of those stark white bones, softened into chains the instant they touched Naruto's clothes. On the list of sacrifices at the Uzumaki Shrine... his right eye suddenly oozed black blood, the same as Hizashi's. The one who should have been sacrificed was an Uchiha orphan!

Kakashi's Lightning Blade barely severed the black sand binding Naruto's ankle, but his Sharingan captured an even more horrifying scene—Dark red substance mixed with Ebizo's deep purple chakra threads was seeping into the earth's veins along the fragments of the Sand Village headband.
