Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

Just as he was about to form a hand seal, the magma beneath his feet suddenly solidified into a sand mirror, reflecting the dusty scroll in Chiyo's research room: Madara's Yin-Yang Release fragment was pressing down on the list of villages to be wiped out.

"Sand Rain!" Gaara's low shout carried chakra mixed with stardust. What emerged from under the medical bandages was no longer ordinary yellow sand, but black sand mixed with Magnet Release fragments.

The sand that had once devoured his right arm now coiled into six shackles, precisely locking onto Ebizo's eight chakra points. The list of villages you personally destroyed last month... He crushed the jade gourd at his waist, and fragments of a yellowed portrait emerged from the sand curtain. Why were they among Madara's funerary objects?

The puppet's body made a rattling sound like gears, and a three-tomoe phantom image suddenly appeared in its left eye.

The chakra surging from the earth's ley lines was no longer Shukaku's, but a dark current mixed with Wood Release cells. "Foolish nephew..." His voice trembled, a male-female hybrid, manipulating the gold dust to form the outline of the Gedo Mazo. Back then, Sunagakure promised Madara more than just the Five Kage Summit.

The sealing talisman at Bai Ye's heart suddenly emitted a shriek, and the chain-like bone wings all disappeared into his chest.

The sound of rocks cracking came from beneath the altar, and the First Hokage's chakra crystal reformed into a human form within the magma. The vessel should return to its origin. His skin began to peel away, revealing bark-like veins beneath, telling Shukaku... The last half of his sentence was swallowed by the surging magma, and the splashing chakra fluid condensed in mid-air into half a Wood Release kunai.

Kakashi's Sharingan suddenly throbbed with pain. He barely managed to turn his head to avoid the splashing lava, only to discover that the Shukaku Iron Sand, which should have sunk into the earth's veins, was gathering at the dome.

Even more strangely, the chakra residue on the fragments of the Sand Village headband resonated with Byakuya's tattered robe.

As he used Lightning Blade to cleave the black sand rushing towards Naruto, his fingertips suddenly touched some kind of cold metal—a bronze fragment engraved with the Root organization's symbol was adhering to the surface of the First Hokage's chakra crystal.

From the depths of the lava currents came spatial fluctuations similar to Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique. The hidden four symbols of the seal, which should have disappeared with Byakuya, were now re-gathering in the eye sockets of Sand Iron Shukaku.

Gaara's black sand suddenly surged uncontrollably towards the core of the altar, while three hundred meters deep within the ley lines, unseen by anyone, a bronze box imbued with the aura of corpses had just torn open a spatial rift when it was dragged by Shukaku's iron sand towards the area where the First Hokage's chakra was most concentrated...

Chapter 488 Project Eye of the Moon

The bronze box containing the Danzo emitted a piercing buzzing sound as it was encased in iron sand, and dark green liquid suddenly seeped from the root tissue symbols on the box's surface.

Kakashi's Lightning Blade was still embedded in the surface of the First Hokage's chakra crystal, but the tomoe patterns of the Sage of Six Paths had climbed up his left arm along with the lightning. This was... His right Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly spun uncontrollably, reflecting the scene inside the bronze box—the First Hokage's bones, which should have been rotting, were covered with tender buds from the Land of Trees, and half of a kunai engraved with the Land of Fire's emblem was stuck in his severed neck.

So that's how it is! Kakashi's body erupted with purple-gold chakra, and the Six Paths Hagoromo fluttered in the magma.

With his left hand, he maintained the seal on the bronze box that the Raikiri had cut open, while with his right hand, he suddenly formed the Child Seal, which was exactly the same as Obito's: When you turned the daimyo into living sacrifices, did you not think that the ley lines would remember all the dead souls?

The magnetic sand at the four corners of the altar suddenly rolled back, revealing a dense array of sealing patterns below.

Gaara's black sand vaporized instantly upon touching the array pattern, and the scattered chakra particles pieced together in the air the image of the Fire Country Daimyo's death.

Aburame Shino's swarm of insects suddenly spontaneously combusted, and hundreds of miniature scrolls emerged from the ashes, each containing a prophecy of the destruction of a different ninja village.

Sunagakure's promise was never peace. Ebizo's puppet body completely disintegrated, revealing a chakra heart engraved with the Uchiha fan at its core.

His voice suddenly changed to Orochimaru's hoarse tone: "Only when the ley lines of the five great nations are stained with blood can the fruit of the Divine Tree be released..." Before he could finish speaking, the First Hokage's skeleton suddenly extended a branch of Wood Release, piercing through the beating chakra heart.

Karin suddenly pressed down on her burning right arm; the sealing flame patterns had already spread to her collarbone.

She stared at Byakuya and Naruto, locked in a fierce struggle in the center of the altar, and suddenly ripped off the medical bandages—those sealing techniques that should have belonged to the Uzumaki clan were now twisted into Kaguya's Karma seal. The Shikotsumyaku's All-Killing Ash Bones... First Hokage, you actually... She suddenly bit her tongue, drawing a reverse pentagram on her chest with her blood. Since a sacrifice is necessary, let the bloodline of the genocide bear the burden!

Kakashi's Six Paths Staff collided violently with the First Hokage's Wood Release technique, and the resulting shockwave turned the magma into an inverted waterfall.

At the moment when the chakra turbulence was at its most intense, a ley line map covering the entire ninja world suddenly appeared beneath everyone's feet—chakra nodes representing each village were being connected by scarlet threads, and the daimyo's sword was prominently displayed in the location of the Land of Fire.

Madara's Eye of the Moon plan was merely a facade. A cold laugh from Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki echoed from the shattered vocal cords of the White Night, his bone-winged chains suddenly shifting and piercing his own heart: those who truly need Infinite Tsukuyomi are those who fear the backlash of the departed souls.

A golden pillar of light suddenly descended from the altar dome, and Xianglin's vortex clan emblem burst into a blood-red curse mark in the intense light.

The last thing she saw was Kakashi's right arm, which had been damaged by the backlash of the Six Paths Chakra, and the blood of Shukaku flowing from under Gaara's medical bandages—the surface of those gravel grains was even covered with the First Hokage's cellular tissue.

Chakra turbulence solidified into liquid within the golden pillar of light, and the swirling clan crest on Karin's forehead was dissolving.

The raised seal patterns under the skin of her right arm resembled writhing snakes. The vortex sealing techniques that should have been suppressed by medical bandages were now drawing the villagers' light points floating around the altar into her body.

The First Hokage's Wood Release cells! The roots of the Onoki tree suddenly pierced through the magma beneath Naruto's feet, and the First Hokage's profile appeared on the bark. These stone tablets are not used to suppress evil gods—look at the base of each stone tablet!

Beneath the overturned altar ruins, hundreds of broken stone tablets revealed their dark red roots.

Chapter 489 Heavenly Punishment

As Naruto melted away the surface moss with the Nine-Tails' chakra, he gasped – the bottom of all the stone tablets was engraved with twisted Uzumaki script, and at that moment, blood was seeping out in rhythm with Karin absorbing the light.

Using the clan's soul as a sacrifice to the fire... Kakashi's Six Paths Scepter suddenly trembled violently, and the kaleidoscope in his left eye began to spin uncontrollably. The list of survivors of the Uzushio Village massacre twenty years ago was arranged according to this formation!

The Finance Minister's maniacal laughter suddenly tore through the chakra flow.

When the Sharingan scepter in his hand pierced Karin's back, the magatama at the top of the scepter resonated with the blood curse on the stone tablet.

Karin's blood congealed in the air to form the Uchiha fan pattern, and Madara's hoarse voice came from inside the scepter: Hashirama, when you used Byakuya as a sacrifice back then, did you not say that you would keep a backup plan?

Bai Ye's bone wing chains suddenly snapped.

From his shattered throat came a roar that overlapped with Hashirama's, and ten Wood Release arms emerged from the gaping wound in his chest, only to be bitten by Orochimaru's Yamata no Orochi before they could reach Karin. "Don't disturb the vessel's maturation." Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword pierced Byakuya's right eye. "You think you've broken free of the Karma seal?"

Examine the altar's ley lines!

The geomantic map beneath everyone's feet suddenly reversed.

The crimson threads that originally connected the five great nations all converged at the location of the Land of Fire, and the chakra node inserted into the daimyo's sword now revealed the Thousand Hands of the Forest totem of the First Hokage.

Karin's wedge mark on her collarbone suddenly multiplied, and the flame patterns bursting from the scar on her right arm completely overlapped with the clan emblem on the chest of the first phantom.

Uzumaki, Senju, Uchiha... Onoki's roots were charred in the magma. He formed hand seals for the Earth Release: Separation Technique. The First Hokage used Byakuya as a vessel to absorb the bloodlines of various clans; this formation was essentially—

Blood rain suddenly fell from the altar dome.

Every drop of rain carries the unique woody fragrance of the first generation of cells, yet it makes my Shukaku blood boil when it touches the gold dust.

Beneath the medical bandages, countless First Hokage cells were proliferating wildly on the surface of the sand. So this was why Sunagakure had been receiving medical aid from Konoha for so long... He manipulated the sand cushion to catch the unconscious Naruto, Kakashi-senpai!

Karin is absorbing the bloodline resonance of the entire ninja world!

The Six Paths Scepter suddenly emitted a blinding white light.

Kakashi's Yin-Yang Release patterns spread along the scepter on his right arm, but were blocked by Madara's phantom before reaching the Finance Minister. Why do you think Hashirama allowed Obito to launch the Eye of the Moon Plan? The Sharingan at the tip of the scepter suddenly transformed into the Rinnegan form. When he planted the seed of evil in Byakuya's heart, he foresaw the need for another perfect vessel to withstand the divine punishment—

Karin's shriek drowned out all other sounds.

The inverted pentagram on her chest was devouring the earth vein map, and the scarlet threads connecting the various countries suddenly materialized into chains that bound the ninjas of the five great ninja villages.

Onoki's Dust Release barrier was as thin as paper in front of the chains, and the Third Tsuchikage's exclamation was drowned out by the roar of bloodline resonance: This is not chakra!

It was lost during the time of the Sage of Six Paths.

Absolute silence suddenly fell over the center of the altar.

The Wood Release arm extending from Byakuya's chest hovered three inches in front of Karin's brow, while Orochimaru's swarm of snakes remained frozen in mid-air, maintaining their biting posture.

Only the Finance Minister's scepter continued to move slowly, the Rinnegan pupil at the tip of the scepter reflecting Kakashi's accumulated Six Paths Chakra.

A drop of blood dripped down the scepter's pattern, creating ripples in the still space.

Karin's right hand, pierced by chains, suddenly moved. Her bloodied fingers drew half of the Uzumaki Clan seal in the air—the forbidden seal that had been carved on the base of the Konoha Memorial Monument twenty years ago.

Chapter 490 Preventing Earth Vein Synchronization

The white light erupting from the Six Paths Scepter tore through the barrier that had solidified time and space, and the Yin-Yang Release patterns on Kakashi's right arm traced a spiral trajectory in the void.

The patterns on the kaleidoscope in his left eye suddenly rotated counterclockwise, and the Truth-Seeking Jewel condensing at the top of the scepter, accompanied by a piercing sound, pierced through the Chancellor of the Exchequer's scepter.

Don't let Madara absorb her chakra!

The Rinnegan at the top of the scepter burst forth with nine tomoe the moment it shattered, and Madara's phantom revealed a sinister smile before dissipating.

Karin's medical badge shattered, revealing a dark purple diamond-shaped mark underneath—perfectly synchronized with the Wedge Mark that was dissolving on Byakuya's collarbone.

Onoki's Dust Release barrier was suddenly covered by blood-red runes. The Third Tsuchikage stared at the wood grain spreading across his palm and realized with alarm: These stone tablets are absorbing our chakra resonance! The speed at which he formed hand seals suddenly slowed down, and root-like blood vessels were climbing from his ankles to his knees.

The broken throat bone of the White Night emitted a creaking sound as the bones reformed, and the ten Wood Release arms suddenly exploded into a shower of wood chips.

Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted—the scattered wood chips were all stained with dark gold sealing liquid.

Who do you think created the host of the Karma seal? Suddenly, black chakra chains multiplied from Byakuya's bone wings, and the venom that splattered as it pierced through the snake swarm condensed in the air to form the face of the First Hokage. Twenty years ago at the Ninja Tournament, the First Hokage used Yin-Yang Release to divide the core of the evil god into three parts.

The moment the chain pierced Xianglin's heart, three inverted pentagrams suddenly appeared in the altar's ley lines.

Kakashi's Six Paths Scepter suddenly pointed uncontrollably towards the sky, and an image of the Five Kage Summit twenty years ago appeared on the scepter's surface—the First Hokage's right hand was pressed against the back of the young Byakuya's neck, and the fingertips glowed with a ghostly light of the same origin as the chains at this moment.

The blood that Karin coughed up condensed into blood crystals in mid-air, and the gold and dark red patterns perfectly matched the Thousand Hands Clan emblem on the chest of the first phantom.

The wedge mark on her collarbone suddenly sprouted root-like patterns, and the scarlet chains that had bound the ninjas of the five great ninja villages all turned around, frantically injecting chakra into her body.

You are the true vessel for the sacrifice!

The roar of the White Night caused the earth's veins to tremble violently, and the broken stone tablet fragments suddenly floated into a ring array.

Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword suddenly changed direction and stabbed towards his own throat, but the seven heads of the Yamata no Orochi simultaneously bit the hilt of the sword: it actually buried a backlash curse seal in its fangs?

The wailing sound emanating from the depths of the altar instantly cooled the lava.

Countless translucent spirits seeped from the base of the stone tablet, and the Sunagakure's Scorching Release user, Pakura, the Kirigakure's Ice Release ninja... all the souls that perished in the massacre condensed into a giant black hand.

Gaara's Shukaku Sands suddenly went out of control, and Naruto, who was unconscious on the sand mat, was thrown into the blood-red vortex.

Kakashi-sensei! Sasuke's Susanoo arrows pierced the air, but were entangled by the undead when they touched the giant black hand.

The Amaterasu fire on the surface of the arrow suddenly reversed, burning black cracks into Susanoo's armor. These souls carried the seal of reversed cause and effect!

Karin's right eye suddenly showed the ripples of the Rinnegan, and the trajectory of her being dragged towards the center of the vortex by the giant hand left a bloody mark in the air.

As the engravings resonated with the inscriptions on the base of the stone tablet, Kakashi suddenly realized that the Six Paths Scepter was absorbing his chakra nature—the three nature transformations of wind, lightning, and water were being forcibly fused together.

Stop the earth's ley lines from sync! Onoki's Dust Release finally broke free of the runes' restraints, but was blocked by a suddenly materialized stone tablet just as it was about to touch the crimson vortex.

Cold sweat seeped from the Third Tsuchikage's palms. What appeared on the surface of those stone tablets were the contents of the forbidden scrolls of the Two Scales Clan that had been lost.

Suddenly, all of Baiye's bone wing chains snapped, and the flying fragments formed a thousand-armed totem in the air.

What gushed from the crack in his chest was no longer wood-style cells, but thick black blood mixed with tailed beast chakra.

When these drops of black blood fell on the Land of Fire location on the ley line map, the First Hokage's phantom and Madara's lingering resentment suddenly merged into a two-headed colossus.

Karin's medical headband shattered completely, and the swirling clan emblem on her forehead had turned dark purple.

In the final moment before she was dragged into the core of the vortex, the blood remaining on her left fingertip suddenly drew the Uchiha clan crest in the void—the very same taboo symbol on the wall of the secret chamber beneath the Konoha Police Department building.

The moment the crimson vortex contracted, the time-space stagnation that enveloped the altar shattered with a deafening roar.

Kakashi's Six Paths Scepter suddenly lost all its luster. As he staggered and knelt on one knee, he discovered a trace of ice crystal-like chakra remaining at the tip of the scepter—the same breathing frequency as the dying boy Obito touched when he was trapped under a boulder twenty years ago.

In the brief moment when everyone's chakra was in disarray, the pile of gold dust in the southeast corner of the altar suddenly collapsed silently.

A grain of sand stained with the First Hokage's cells rolled down to the outer edge of the Hyuga clan's territory, creating a barely perceptible ripple on the Byakugan's warning barrier.

Chapter 491 The Entrance to the Spatial Rift

The dust floating on the altar suddenly crystallized, and Kakashi's hands, gripping the Six Paths Scepter, were sweating profusely.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, floated in the southwest corner, his aged fingers tracing the raised seal patterns on the stone tablet, the rhombus symbol unique to the Two Scales clan glowing in his palm.

So that's how it is... Onoki's Dust Release white light suddenly turned towards the core of the vortex where Karin was located. The container that the First Hokage mentioned during the Five Kage Summit was this!

Before he could finish speaking, thirty-two blood vessels suddenly appeared in Hyuga Hizashi's Byakugan.

As he clasped his hands together, the caged bird curse mark on his forehead spontaneously shattered, and black blood seeped from his bulging temples: Stop!

That vortex wasn't a sealing technique; it was the entrance to a spatial rift!

Sixty-four beams of chakra exploded from his body, and the gale-force winds generated by Gentle Fist Technique tore Karin's medical robe to shreds.

Just as the giant black hand was about to close, Hizashi used his back to brace against the edge of the crack and struck out with eight empty palms.

Suddenly, a sound similar to the friction of bones during Byakugan's X-ray vision emanated from the core of the vortex. As Karin was pushed out by the shockwave, the chakra chain on her left wrist suddenly wrapped around Hizashi's ankle.

Hyuga clan leader! Aburame Shino's swarm of insects poured out from his sleeves, the dark purple beetles forming a buffer net along Karin's falling trajectory.

When the medical ninja's blood-stained fingers touched the swarm of insects, the beetle elytra suddenly displayed an Uchiha fan pattern on their elytra, along with the nape of the Finance Minister's neck—

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was forming hand seals on the east side of the altar when seventeen fleshy growths suddenly protruded from his spine beneath his official robes.

When Shino Aburame's parasitic insects smashed the third tumor, what burst out was not blood, but black tentacles wrapped with Wood Release chakra.

Three tentacles suddenly pierced through Onoki's rocky barrier, heading straight for Karin's dark purple clan emblem between her eyebrows.

The rats of Sunagakure were quite clever. Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword suddenly appeared at the Finance Minister's throat, the snake scales on the blade devouring the chakra overflowing from its tentacles.

When his serpentine eyes reflected the chakra flow between Karin and Byakuya, a white snake emerging from his sleeve suddenly sprouted the tomoe pattern of the Sage of Six Paths. The explosion at the Konoha orphanage twenty years ago... the container created by the First Hokage using Yin-Yang Release was supposed to be...

Golden patterns spread along the snakes to the base of the bone wings on Byakuya's back, and the face of Hashirama Senju suddenly appeared on the originally black bones.

Just as the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release beam was about to sever the pattern, the black blood gushing from Byakuya's chest suddenly congealed into an afterimage of Uchiha Madara.

Beware of the ley lines! Rizashi's eyes suddenly turned to the pile of gold dust below the altar. The moment he leaped up according to the Bagua directions, a bone spike protruding from the crack pierced his right shoulder.
