Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

When his blood dripped onto the clan crest on Karin's forehead, the dark purple suddenly faded into the crimson of the Whirlpool Clan.

Shino Aburame's swarm of insects had now enveloped the entire altar. As the eight hundredth parasitic insect burrowed into the Finance Minister's cervical spine, Madara's chakra suddenly materialized into the outline of the Gedo Mazo.

Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword snapped in two, the flying fragments forming the emblem of the Senju clan in the air.

Now! Hiashi's Reverse Spin suddenly reversed direction, and Karin, who was originally falling towards the crack, was pushed towards Kakashi's location by him with Gentle Fist Chakra.

The bone wings on Byakuya's back made a teeth-grinding cracking sound. When the first bone fragment pierced Orochimaru's Rinnegan, a chakra fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the crack, just like when the First Hokage used Advent of a World of Trees.

Aburame Shino's right hand suddenly exploded, but what gushed out was not blood—countless parasites carrying the First Hokage's cells were crawling out from her fingertips, weaving in the air to form a barrier net that covered the entire Hyuga clan territory.

As the last beetle bit into the Wood Release chakra at the tip of Byakuya's bone wings, a roar from the Nine-Tails' rampage twenty years ago suddenly echoed from beneath the altar.

Chapter 492 The Remnant Soul's Counterattack

The Thousand Hands Forest Totem behind Bai Ye suddenly cracked open, and a phantom of golden flames flashed and disappeared within the crack.

The bone wings behind Bai Ye emitted a crisp sound like porcelain shattering, and the golden and black chakra bursting from the cracks intertwined and rose into the sky like yin and yang fish.

Hyuga Hizashi's Byakugan pierced through the chaotic airflow and saw that the broken bone wing revealed the blood-red runes that Kushina had displayed during childbirth—ironclad proof that the Nine-Tails' chakra had contaminated the First Hokage's vessel.

Third Hokage! Kakashi's Six Paths Scepter suddenly plunged into the crack in the altar, its tip hooking onto Karin's chakra chain, which was about to break.

His left eye's kaleidoscope spun wildly, and he finally saw that the Senju clan emblem floating in the golden flames was actually a sealing medium made from the Nine-Tails' severed tail. Byakuya's Wood Release cells were absorbing Madara's remnant soul in reverse!

Orochimaru's Rinnegan, pierced by the bone fragment, suddenly oozed amber-colored viscous fluid. The fluid, upon hitting the ground, instantly sprouted thorns that bound together sealing runes. So that's how it is... He licked the blood splattered on his lips, his snake-like eyes fixed on the inverted flame patterns on Karin's arm. The soil of the Uzumaki clan's massacre village contained secretions from the roots of the Divine Tree, and the potion made from it along with the severed horn of the Eight-Tails—a foreshadowing planted by the First Hokage in the Land of Rain!

Karin's medical robe suddenly burst into flames without any wind, revealing the dense seals covering her back.

The moment she pierced the emblem into the core of the altar, the gold dust left by the Fourth Kazekage suddenly solidified into eight chains, nailing the suspended stone tablet into the Qian position of the Bagua diagram.

Hizashi's Byakugan suddenly saw the earth's chakra surging along the tremor stone tablet into Shino Aburame's exploding right hand—those parasites carrying the First Hokage's cells were actually carriers of Yin-Yang Release!

Soft Fist Technique: Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!

Risa's blood-stained fingertips traced mysterious trajectories in the air, each strike precisely hitting the Caged Bird Curse Seal that appeared on the stone tablet.

When the final palm strike shattered the stone tablet at the Kan position, the black chains binding Bai Ye suddenly snapped, revealing the Sharingan with nine tomoe embedded at the base of the bone wings.

Madara's phantom twisted into the outline of the Gedo Mazo amidst screams, but was firmly held in place by Shino Aburame's insect swarm barrier at the center of the array.

Kakashi-senpai!

"Sever the connection between the golden flames and the Nine-Tails' chakra!" Karin roared, wrapping chakra chains around her neck. The Uzumaki clan's crimson hair was visibly fading to white. "The medicine left by my father will purify the First Hokage's cells through my bloodline, but it will take three seconds."

Her words were interrupted by a giant tree that suddenly emerged from beneath the altar using Wood Release techniques.

Orochimaru's fragments of the Kusanagi sword suddenly coalesced into the emblem of the Senju clan, pinning Karin to the center of the array.

The golden bone wings burning in the white night suddenly split into twelve phantoms, each phantom displaying the chakra cloak of a different tailed beast.

So this was the truth about the twin containers. The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release suddenly split into four beams, piercing through the stone tablets in the four directions of Zhen, Li, Kan, and Dui respectively.

As the floating gold dust began to rotate clockwise, black blood suddenly seeped from the bulging veins on his forehead. The First Hokage had divided the Nine-Tails' chakra into yin and yang; the yang energy was used to maintain Byakuya's Wood Release chakra body, while the yin energy...

Hizashi's Byakugan suddenly spotted the Sand Village headband pattern emerging from the depths of the earth's veins; it was the unique Magnet Release chakra fluctuation of the Fourth Kazekage.

He decisively bit his tongue, spitting out a mist of blood, and used Gentle Fist Chakra to draw a reverse sealing technique on the Qian position stone tablet: Aburame Clan Chief!

Let the swarm of parasites devour my white eye power!

Aburame Shino's exploded right hand suddenly sprouted beetles wrapped around his Wood Release technique. After devouring the Hizashi blood mist, the swarm of insects carrying the First Hokage's cells formed a huge Tenseigan outline in the air.

When this chakra aggregate collided with Byakuya's tailed beast phantom, a hurricane carrying gold dust suddenly swept around the altar—a harbinger of the Sand Village's secret sealing technique.

At the moment the array completely collapsed, Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan finally detected something unusual—below the Dui position stone tablet, which should have been locked by Magnet Release, there was flowing gold dust that did not belong to the Fourth Kazekage.

The surface of these sand grains, adorned with the violet patterns of Shukaku, was silently winding its way along the earth's veins towards Baiye's wrist...

Chapter 493 Balance

Amidst the roar of the gold dust vortex, Gaara's hoarse voice pierced through the hurricane.

Dark red sand spiraled up along Byakuya's wrist, condensing at the joint into the Magnet Release seal unique to the Fourth Kazekage.

The sand gourd behind him suddenly collapsed, and tens of thousands of black sand grains pieced together in the air to form a yellowed old photograph—a last photo of Chiyo holding her swaddled niece at the Sunagakure village's collective funeral twenty years ago.

The list of villages destroyed deep within the earth's veins is updated every ten years through the blood pact. Gaara's fingertips oozed bluish-gray chakra, resonating with the cracks on the altar stone tablet. The day his uncle was implanted with the Sharingan by the First Hokage, this gold dust had already been devouring newborns in the Land of Wind.

The loud crash of the bronze casket striking the altar interrupted his words.

The bandage around Danzo's right eye was ripped off by the shockwave, and the First Hokage's pale white finger bone pierced through the box lid, drawing the distinctive vine patterns of Wood Release in the void.

The crimson chakra wrapped around the corpses suddenly materialized, condensing in mid-air into a phantom image of the First Hokage.

His tattered hunting robe fluttered past the Third Tsuchikage's bleeding forehead, and the square stone tablet that had been pierced by Dust Release began to heal in reverse.

Wood Escape·The Tree Realm is born!

The low growl of the White Night perfectly overlapped with the voice of the first phantom.

The torn bone wings on his back suddenly burst forth with golden light, and the moment the nine chains pierced his heart, the entire gold dust vortex was dyed dark red.

The moment Naruto was thrown away by the shockwave, he saw the blood gushing from Byakuya's chest split into two streams in mid-air—golden blood transformed into the facial contours of Hashirama Senju, while dark red blood droplets condensed into the Sharingan shape of Madara Uchiha.

Ninety-nine substitute puppets were buried beneath the altar where the Five Kage Summit took place. Byakuya's shattered vocal cords emitted a metallic, grating sound. The chain piercing his heart suddenly pulled out Danzo's bronze box. "When the First Hokage used my cells to clone Naruto Uzumaki, you Daimyo had already signed a blood pact!"

Shino Aburame's swarm of insects emitted a piercing shriek.

The wood-type beetles that had devoured the Byakugan of the Hizashi suddenly burst into flames. Amidst the charred ashes of the insect corpses, Karin staggered and pressed her burning right arm.

Dark purple chakra seeped from the cracks in the ground beneath her feet, and the sand carrying the aura of Shukaku climbed up her calves, only to turn into blue smoke the moment it touched the flame patterns.

The intense light that suddenly erupted from the core of the altar swallowed up all sound.

When Kakashi used Lightning Blade to cleave through the gold dust barrier, he only saw Byakuya turn into wood chips and dissipate into the First Hokage's phantom image, while Gaara's Magnet Release seal in his palm was eroding Danzo's right arm at an eerie speed.

In the distance came the cry of the Sunagakure's emergency communication hawk, mixed with Karin's suppressed groans of pain, tearing open a new crack in the gradually subsiding hurricane.

The moment the intense light faded, the flame patterns on Karin's right arm suddenly burst forth.

Those crimson lines, like living magma, climbed up her trembling neck to her left eye, burning the Senju clan crest of the First Hokage into her pupil.

As she thrust the Medical Ninja Badge into the crack of the altar with her backhand, countless sealing techniques suddenly appeared on the entire sand-gold ground—the runes written with the blood of the Uzumaki clan were frantically devouring Shukaku's chakra.

When her father dissected the First Hokage's body, he found ninety-nine sealing nails in his heart! Karin's roar was accompanied by a scorching heat wave, and a purplish-black substance seeped from the cracked sand beneath her feet. It turned out to be the skeletons of countless infants wrapped in Wood Release armor.

At one point, Kakashi saw that all the skeletons had the flame mark of the Uzumaki clan on their wrists.

The cracks in the Sage of Six Paths mask then spread to Kakashi's collarbone.

The three tomoe in his left eye suddenly rotated in reverse, and the chakra that was originally wrapped around the Lightning Blade split into two streams—the bluish-white Wood Release chakra transformed into the tattered armor of Hashirama Senju, while the dark red Susanoo ribs condensed into the fan pattern of Madara Uchiha.

When the two collided in the void, an illusion of the Five Kage Summit appeared above the altar: the First Hokage was handing a blood-stained scroll to the Third Kazekage, and the end of the scroll was stamped with Karin's father's medical seal.

Balance? The wood chips that had vanished in the white night suddenly reformed behind Karin. The nine chains piercing his chest were tearing the blood oaths of the daimyo of various countries to shreds. Back when Tobirama used the Nine-Tails Chakravartin to summon the Uzumaki clan, the so-called balance was already a synonym for human sacrifice!

Gaara's Magnet Release seal on his palm suddenly emitted a sharp shriek.

The gold dust that had been eroding Danzo's right arm suddenly changed direction, transforming into countless fine needles that pierced into his own chakra meridians.

The moment the Sand Village's liaison hawk swooped down, everyone saw the Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release Sand seeping from his ear canals—the surface of those sand grains was covered with the First Hokage's Wood Release cells wriggling.

The light at the core of the altar began to tremble violently.

When the light representing Uzushio Village touched Karin's hair, an illusion of her father's laboratory suddenly appeared above everyone's heads: hundreds of clones resembling Karin floated in the incubation chamber, each with a sealing pestle engraved with the Senju clan emblem inserted into its heart.

Bai Ye staggered backward, clutching half a chain, when Naruto's Yang Release chakra suddenly surged from the crack in the bone wings on his back.

So that's how it is... Beneath Kakashi's torn Six Paths Robe, flame patterns had spread to his spine. The First Hokage cloned not only the Uzumaki clan members, but also himself, the ones he used to fight against the Uchiha.

The deafening roar drowned out the second half of the sentence.

When the beam of light, interwoven with gold and dark red, burst through the crater, everyone saw tens of thousands of sealing scrolls floating within it—scrolls written in the blood of daimyo from various countries were burning, and from the ashes, phantom images of Naruto Uzumaki at different ages kept emerging.

Byakuya's last chakra transformed into sand and entangled Karin's wrist. Amidst the cries of an infant emanating from the bottom of the altar, the words "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Cultivation Plan" were faintly revealed on a burning fragment of a covenant.

Spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared at the top of the pillar of light, and a pressure surpassing that of the tailed beasts' chakra caused the summoned beasts within a hundred miles to collectively let out mournful cries.

In the instant the Sand Village's communication hawk was torn to shreds by the shockwave, Kakashi saw Karin's medical badge twisting the energy in the pillar of light into a vortex—just like the mysterious vortex that had swallowed Obito that he had glimpsed in front of the memorial stone on a rainy night twenty years ago.

Chapter 494 Symbiotic Contract

The crater walls crumbled under the impact of energy, and Karin's lens reflected millions of Naruto phantoms that shattered and reformed within the pillar of light.

She tried to back away, but discovered that the chakra dust left on her wrist by Byakuya was absorbing the energy of the medical badge.

As the golden and crimson light swept across her collarbone, fragments of memories that weren't her own suddenly exploded in her mind—

In a laboratory filled with runes, the body of the young Byakuya, immersed in a pale green solution, is coexisting with the cells and tissues of the First Hokage.

Don't let Ban's lingering soul... The phantom of Bai Ye in reality suddenly flashed in her consciousness.

Karin looked down abruptly and discovered that the chakra dust that had been wrapped around her wrist had turned into dark red chains, and the subcutaneous blood vessels were flowing backward along the flame patterns into the cracks of Byakuya's bone wings.

She instinctively formed the medical ninja hand seals, but saw the Sage of Six Paths' magatama explode into purple sparks between the two of them.

I should have said it sooner... Bai Ye's broken voice, carrying volcanic ash, said that when the First Generation chose me twenty years ago, he foresaw the need for a living buffer... The sealing patterns that appeared on his neck suddenly overlapped with the vortex mark on Karin's chest.

The roar of an infant's cry came from the bottom of the altar, and the burning fragments of the covenant were pieced together in mid-air to form a giant Tenseigan pattern.

Orochimaru's bone snake swarm broke through the air blast at that moment.

The instant the eighteen giant skeletal pythons coiled around the pillar of light, Karin saw the terrified faces of the various daimyo reflected in their snake eyes. Foolish!

You have activated the most dangerous Yin-Yang Twin Technique of the first generation—Orochimaru's warning was shredded into blood mist by the black chains, and Kakashi's Six Paths Staff, imbued with lightning, had already shattered half of his body.

Karin's medical chakra suddenly and uncontrollably flowed back into Byakuya's body.

She was startled to realize that the dark red flames were devouring the Yang Release energy within her meridians, and the bone wing fragments floating between them were beginning to reveal the Wood Release crystals of the First Hokage. A symbiotic contract... She suddenly understood the technique diagrams within Bai Ye's remaining consciousness: "Use my life force to replenish the losses he suffered as a vessel for the evil god?"

Kakashi's Six Paths Robe fluttered in the turbulent energy flow.

When his Rinnegan captured the Senju clan crest appearing at Byakuya's heart, the memory of that rainy night twenty years ago suddenly stung his nerves—the mysterious vortex in front of the memorial tablet, the last chakra fluctuations before Obito disappeared, were strikingly similar to the distorted energy field around Karin at this moment.

The contract is complete. Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out simultaneously from both reality and Karin's sea of ​​consciousness.

His tattered bone wings suddenly unfolded into the First Hokage's giant chakra hand, reshaping the collapsing pillar of light.

Karin felt scalding liquid flowing into her left eye along the connected chains. When her vision returned, she saw Byakuya in countless time fragments—the experimental boy standing behind the First Hokage, the young man roaring while immersed in the blood pool of the evil god's altar, and the broken figure with wood-style buds growing from his bone wings.

Suddenly, a black substance seeped out from the cracks in the spiderweb at the top of the beam of light.

Byakuya, tugging at the symbiotic chains, flung Karin toward the edge of the altar: "Use your medical ninjutsu to reverse-analyze the First Hokage's cloning blueprint!" Behind him, newly sprouted Wood Release branches were frantically devouring the dark red flames, and the cries of those infants... were the resonant frequency of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cultivation tank.

As Karin fell into the pile of fragments of the covenant, her fingertips touched a charred scroll with the words "Uchiha Madara" written on it.

She suddenly understood why Byakuya's chakra always carried an inescapable bitterness—all the experimental subjects created by the first generation of cloning technology over the past twenty years had their genetic chains woven with killing instructions against the Uchiha.

When Kakashi's Truth-Seeking Ball struck the core of the pillar of light, Karin did something that shocked even herself.

She deliberately cut her wrist, which was connected to Byakuya's, letting her blood, mixed with their chakra, drip onto the Tenseigan pattern.

The baby's cry suddenly transformed into a clear, melodious phoenix cry, and all the Naruto phantoms within the pillar of light simultaneously reached out to her—

The symbiotic chains were fully materialized at this moment.

Karin watched as the seal marks on Byakuya's neck spread to her collarbone, and deep within those dark red flames, the phantom of the First Hokage flickered like a candle flame.

As the last wisp of Yang Release chakra was injected into the Tenseigan, she clearly felt something cold beginning to melt away within Byakuya's shattered consciousness...

As the turbulent energy flow gradually subsided at the crater, Karin looked down at her wrist, which was connected to Byakuya.

Within the lingering crimson flames, the phantom of the First Hokage slowly moved along the patterns of the symbiotic chains, like a red dragon awakening and lurking deep within his bloodline.

Volcanic ash condensed into fine frost flowers and landed on Karin's trembling eyelashes.

She stared at the crimson lines moving across her wrist, fragments of the First Hokage's image slowly multiplying along her veins, outlining the Senju clan crest on her skin. This... was a symbiotic contract! The medical badge suddenly burned intensely, and as she staggered backward, she shattered the chakra crystals solidified at the edge of the altar.

Chapter 495 Reverse Analysis

The phantom of the white night suddenly coalesced from the dissipating stream of light, and fragments of bone wings transformed into translucent hands that gripped her retreating ankles. "Trust me, or we'll both become sacrifices!" For the first time, a crack appeared in his voice, and Karin was startled to notice that a pale green solution was seeping from the seal on his neck—the same culture medium used to soak the first generation of cells in the laboratory twenty years ago.

The baby's cries coming from the bottom of the altar suddenly twisted into sharp incantations.

The floating villager dots that had been exterminated suddenly collapsed, turning into thousands of blood-red threads that wrapped around the two people's connected wrists.

Karin's medical chakra flowed uncontrollably back into Byakuya's body, and she saw that the iris of her left eye was being eroded by the First Hokage's Wood Release crystal, leaving a six-pointed star pattern.

"Use medical ninjutsu quickly!" Naruto roared, his roar carrying the Nine-Tails' chakra as he hurtled through the air.
