Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

The armor formed from the remains of the bronze tree peeled away piece by piece, revealing a yin-yang seal on the chest that was exactly the same as the one on the back of Karin's neck.

He raised his hand to catch the falling medical badge, and the bloodstains that had congealed on the bronze surface suddenly came to life, outlining the contours of the Dark Side Laboratory's incubation chamber—two infants immersed in a green solution were sharing chakra through their umbilical cords.

The Twin Pact requires a bloodline of the same origin as a sacrifice. Madara's remnant soul suddenly broke free of its restraints, and the ripples of the Rinnegan left a pale white mark on the First Hokage's remains.

He manipulated Karin's right hand to press against the skeleton's eye socket. "You think severing the soul link can stop Kaguya's resurrection?" Suddenly, countless pale arms emerged from the blood-red vortex, each finger wrapped with a thin thread of chakra connecting the borders of the five great nations.

Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan fully awakened at this moment.

He saw countless remnants of the Uzumaki clan's souls traveling upstream along Karin's Adamantine Chains amidst the surging torrent of chakra deep within the earth's veins.

As the Raikiri blade severed the last puppet thread, a figure from the Anbu wearing a fox mask suddenly surfaced from the depths of his memory—the person stood atop the First Hokage statue, cradling an infant, the bone wings unfolding behind him gleaming with the same chilling luster as the night sky under the moonlight.

"Release!" Karin roared as she tore the chains of the contract binding her heart.

The chains that permeated the first generation of cells took root upon landing, and in the center of the battlefield, they gave rise to a tree world that blotted out the sky.

Her red hair turned white inch by inch in the chakra storm, and the yin-yang seal on her neck suddenly rotated in reverse: In the name of the vortex... seal!

The phantom of Bai Ye flashed behind her the instant the seal was completed.

Twelve bone spurs pierced through both of their chests, forcibly merging their chakra into a dark red sphere of light.

When the array diagram from when the Sage of Six Paths sealed Kaguya appeared on the surface of the sphere of light, Madara's maniacal laughter suddenly stopped—the Rinne Sharingan in the eye socket of the First Hokage's skeleton began to uncontrollably absorb the energy of the blood-red vortex.

You schemed against me?! Ban's remnant soul struggled through the skeleton, only to discover that the original cells, which were meant to reshape his physical body, were guiding his consciousness into an ancient spacetime barrier.

He frantically tore at Karin's chakra pathways; you might think this level of sealing...

Byakuya's true form suddenly transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Karin's body.

As the two chakra completely merged during the Advent of the Tree World, the crimson vortex suspended above the battlefield suddenly collapsed into the shape of a pupil.

A pressure surpassing that of the Tailed Beasts awakened from the depths of the earth's veins, and the barriers at the borders of the five great nations simultaneously glowed with bloody light. The wails of the souls devoured by the Chains of Boundaries all transformed into an eerie silence when they touched the center of the vortex.

Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly oozed black blood.

He staggered and steadied himself against the crystallized stone tablet, seeing his Sharingan reflected in the stone gradually being eroded by the ripples of the Rinnegan.

Just as he was about to use Raikiri to destroy the core of the stone tablet, a sigh from the Pure Land suddenly exploded in the depths of his consciousness—the phantom of the Sage of Six Paths was standing behind the First Generation skeleton, his staff pointing at the magatama pattern that was gradually taking shape on Karin's heart.

A true contract... is two-way. Bai Ye's voice came from deep within the sphere of light.

His bone wing fragments reassembled into a translucent chakra cloak behind Karin. The bone spurs that pierced through both of them were injecting some kind of liquid chakra into the earth's veins. When you said you wanted to end the cycle of reincarnation... our fates overlapped.

The blood-red sky emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass at this moment.

The suspended Rinnegan pupils suddenly contracted, reflecting the ninja alliance that was gathering at the border of the five great nations.

The golden rain of chakra that drifted with the wind suddenly condensed into blood-red ice crystals upon touching the ground—each ice crystal shimmering with the same yin-yang seal as Karin's neck.

Chapter 507 Uchiha Counterattack

The moment the blood-red sky shattered, the Rinnegan, which had been floating in the clouds, suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.

Twelve black sand pillars rose from the Five Shadows Alliance's base; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be countless speckled cells wriggling among the sand and gravel.

The Finance Minister's scepter shattered upon impact, revealing a talisman engraved inside, written by the First Hokage.

The entire Lightning Release team retreated! The Fourth Raikage's roar was drowned out by the black blood overflowing from the throats of the Sand Village ninja.

He watched helplessly as the Cloud Village medical ninja wrapped bandages around the Iwa Village wounded soldiers. The blood-soaked gauze suddenly twisted into Wood Release vines, piercing the hearts of the rescuers and the rescued like a string of candied hawthorns.

At this moment, Granny Chiyo's puppet strings entangled the Third Tsuchikage's rock fist.

Her age-spotted hands traced the flame-like patterns that had appeared on her neck, and she suddenly realized that the case numbers of the accidental deaths in the Sand Village Hospital, when put together, formed the personal seal of the First Hokage. So the Kazekage was forced to sign the order to exterminate the village... She swiftly plunged a poisoned kunai into her left chest, the gushing blood forming a sealing array in mid-air. The Sand Village's secret Heart-Swapping Technique should last for three minutes!

Karin's chakra cloak suddenly emitted a shrill cry like that of a baby.

The yin-yang curse mark on her neck seeped out an ink-like substance, outlining the contours of the Vortex Clan's sacrificial ground on the ground.

Kakashi's Rinnegan had already reached the edge of his pupil when he suddenly realized that what was sealed in those blood-red ice crystals was not chakra, but fragments of memories from the Jinchuriki before their deaths.

So that's how it is. The Nine-Tails' cloak that was boiling around Naruto suddenly went out.

He grabbed the crystallizing left arm and pulled hard. The golden chakra transformed into a reverse-rotating swastika seal, which was then poured into the broken bone wing phantom of Byakuya. The Flying Thunder God Technique that Father left in your spine was not meant to imprison the Nine-Tails at all!

Byakuya's translucent body began to materialize, and the wood-style spikes piercing his ribs suddenly blossomed into mandala flowers.

When the seventh flower bloomed, the staff in the hand of the phantom of the Six Paths Sage suddenly became covered with cracks.

The sacrificial ground pattern beneath Karin's feet emitted the sound of gears meshing, and a scene from the wedding of the First Hokage and Mito Uzumaki twenty years ago flashed in the ice crystals—hidden in the bride's bouquet was not Kikyo at all, but a fragment of the Uchiha fan that had been soaked in Hashirama's cells.

The contract was complete. Feathers fell softly from the tattered wings of the White Night, each reflecting a different daimyo's mansion.

When the last feather touched the sealing array that Chiyo had maintained with her blood, a barrier wrapped in lightning and fire rose simultaneously at the borders of the five great nations, separating the Allied Shinobi Forces from the Daimyo's personal guards like black and white pieces on a chessboard.

Suddenly, the Rinnegan in the clouds shed tears of blood.

The falling blood droplets congealed in mid-air to form the face of the First Hokage, but when he opened his mouth, he let out a maniacal laugh from Madara Uchiha.

Kakashi's completely transformed Rinnegan saw the truth at this moment—the so-called Chains of the World were not a sealing technique at all, but rather a vessel for cultivating Hashirama's cells!

Sunagakure advisor Ebizo suddenly manipulated a puppet to sever the chakra threads of Kazekage Rasa.

The old man, who always pretended to be deaf and mute, tore open his clothes, revealing flame patterns identical to Chiyo's: "Sister, the puppet show in the Swamp of the Dead should come to an end." His fingers, covered in corpse spots, formed the hand seals for the Sand Clone Technique, while his body disintegrated into countless clay fragments engraved with the Uchiha clan crest.

It turns out that Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation experiment data... Before Naruto could finish speaking, all the mandalas behind Byakuya suddenly withered.

The withered petals turned to ash and drifted toward Karin, where they coalesced into a miniature Tailed Beast Ball in her heart.

At the same time, the staff of the Sage of Six Paths finally shattered completely, and a flying fragment grazed Naruto's cheek, leaving a bloody... inverted Uchiha clan crest.

The crimson ice crystals suddenly turned towards the Konoha Memorial Monument, and the names of the Hokage from previous generations on the inscription began to twist and recombine.

The lingering pollen from the datura flower at Bai Ye's fingertips suddenly floated in mid-air, piecing together half of Uchiha Madara's mask—the missing right eye was none other than the Sage's mask of the First Hokage.

The First Hokage's face twisted into a vortex in the air, and twelve afterimages, carrying Wood Release chakra, tore the sky apart.

Three bone spurs suddenly burst from Raikage's calloused hand—the spotted cells that had seeped into his skin were reshaping his bones.

Chapter 508 Volcano Altar

"Watch out for Shadow Clone Technique!" Kakashi roared, accompanied by a metallic scraping sound.

The ripples of reincarnation in his right eye had spread to his temple, yet he could still clearly see the thousand-handed clan emblem beating at the heart of each afterimage.

The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release barrier was corroded by the black sand pillars, creating honeycomb-like holes. Suddenly, the Sunagakure medical team leader's puppet strings tightened around her neck—the ends of the strings were connected to the unformed Tailed Beast Ball beneath Karin's feet.

Madara's afterimage rippled across the surface of the lightning and fire barrier, and the First Hokage's voice echoed from the heart of the volcano: "Hashirama's cells require a living incubator." Twelve figures simultaneously formed the hand seals for the Advent of the World of Trees, but what grew were not trees, but countless blood vessels wrapped around the Uchiha fan.

Karin suddenly grabbed her left wrist.

The contract line connecting to Byakuya was flowing backward along the chakra pathways, and the golden light of the Nine-Tails' cloak was being absorbed into the miniature Tailed Beast Ball in her heart at a visible speed. Naruto!

"Sever the chakra connection!" Suddenly, the chakra feathers at the ends of her hair straightened, transforming into three thousand silver needles that pierced her heart.

Bai Ye's tattered bone wings suddenly unfolded.

The scene from the Sand Village laboratory twenty years ago flashed through the contract pattern: nine-year-old Karin was pressed onto the operating table, and just as the syringe containing Hashirama cells was about to pierce her spine, the boy Byakuya crushed the glass tube with his bare hands.

History repeats itself. His translucent body precisely blocked the combined attack of the twelve afterimages, and dark red blood and Nine-Tails chakra intertwined in the air to form a double helix.

So what you shielded me from back then wasn't an experimental accident... Karin's pupils suddenly reflected the scene of the First Hokage's wedding.

Black blood seeped from the fragments of the fan in the bride's bouquet, forming a sealing array on the ground that is exactly the same as it is now.

The yin-yang seal on her neck began to reverse, and the dark patterns resonated with the reversed Uchiha clan crest on the Konoha Memorial Monument.

The magma in the crater suddenly froze.

Amidst the laughter of the first infant, which sounded like crying, eight hundred sacrificial nodes appeared on a blood-red array covering the entire continent.

Kakashi's Rinnegan revealed a terrifying truth—each node corresponded to the name of a ninja who signed the village-annihilation pact back then, and the death case numbers from Sunagakure Hospital were currently jumping on the array.

Is it a trick of nourishing the dead with the blood of the living? The ashes of the datura on the broken wings of the white night suddenly reignited.

He grabbed the Wood Release spike that had pierced his chest and plunged it into his own throat. The gushing golden blood drew a reverse summoning circle under Karin's feet. "Twenty years ago, I took the backlash from Hashirama's cells for you. Now it's time to repay that favor."

The reversed clan crest on Naruto's face suddenly burned.

He saw the Flying Thunder God Technique left by his father reassemble in the spacetime rift, and the Nine-Tails' chakra uncontrollably flowed into Byakuya's body.

As the fist of the seventh afterimage pierced through Bai Ye's heart, the sacrificial field pattern beneath Karin's feet suddenly reversed, and fragments of the fan from the first wedding scroll burst forth from the painting.

The contract has been rewritten. The smile before the white night dissipated carried a sense of relief.

His chakra transformed into countless specks of mandala pollen, each grain containing fragments of memories from members of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Karin's Tailed Beast Ball suddenly collapsed into a black hole, swallowing all the souls of the annihilated clan released by the twelve afterimages.

The altar deep within the volcano emitted a strange, rattling sound, as if gears were jamming.

The face of the First Hokage's phantom cracked with spiderweb-like patterns, and the Sharingan eyes on the Uchiha fan suddenly went blind.

The spread of the crimson array slowed down abruptly, but just as it was about to stop, it suddenly split into countless branches—each branch pointing towards Konoha Village.

Kakashi's Rinnegan was completely petrified at this moment.

The last thing he saw was the name on the memorial stone being rearranged to Tobirama Senju, while the pollen left over from Byakuya was piecing together half of a Flying Thunder God kunai on the surface of the inscription.

Wood Release branches suddenly sprouted from the Raikage's broken arm bone, forever sealing the nascent warning in his throat.

Karin knelt in the center of the reversed spirit array, watching the contract patterns fade on her skin.

She reached out and caught a datura petal. The reflection on it was not Byakuya's face, but rather Sakura Haruno, who was bandaging the wounded in Konoha Hospital. The back of the young medical ninja's neck faintly revealed a sage's face similar to the First Hokage's phantom.

The frozen magma in the crater suddenly erupted, and a flying fragment streaked across the crimson array, etching a blood-stained prophecy at Karin's feet: When the moonlight is stained with blood, the lie of the Six Paths of Reincarnation will be revealed before the memorial monument. Along the trajectory of the array's branches, the barrier at the edge of Konoha suddenly flickered with an ominous purple light.

Chapter 509 The only survivor of the village massacre should have been me

The ice in the crater emitted a crisp sound like porcelain shattering, and Gaara's black sand trembled violently in the purple light of the barrier.

The medical team leader's fingernails dug deeply into his palms as memories of the day the Sunagakure Hospital collapsed suddenly resurfaced—when Granny Chiyo plunged the syringe into the back of his neck, Ebizo had said that the seal would help him forget what he should forget.

I should have been the only survivor on the Sand Village's massacre list. Black sand coalesced into the semi-transparent silhouette of a girl, the fingertips of a wandering spirit tracing the cracked seal on Gaara's neck, yin-yang runes flowing like living things through his veins.

He suddenly saw clearly the images etched in the ruins of his memory: the confidential scrolls in the Kazekage's office, the clear Konoha emblem below each village name, and the ashes that fell when Chiyo burned the files, clinging to the medical ninja's armband.

Thirty kilometers away, a magma pool suddenly exploded, and the roots of Onoki, wrapped around a sealing scroll, burst forth from the ground.

The Root leader's chakra materialized into incantations, forcing the fleeing magma back into the earth. The First Hokage left two seals in the secret chamber of the Five Kage Summit; ostensibly, it was the Four Red Yang Formation... The old man coughed up blood clots, and the bronze badge at his waist peeled away piece by piece. What he truly intended to seal was the causal curse planted within the bodies of the village's high-ranking officials!

The rock beneath Naruto's feet suddenly collapsed, and the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak was pierced by the tree roots. At that moment, his Sage Mode perception allowed him to see a shocking truth—Yin Release chakra similar to Sasuke's flowed inside each tree root.

Beneath Onoki's tattered clothes, on his chest, were the same yin-yang runes as those on Karin's neck.

The so-called Yin-Yang Twin Technique is a forbidden technique jointly developed by the First Hokage and Madara. Byakuya's voice seeped from the blood-red runes, and the hurricane stirred up by the bone wings pinned Madara's phantom to the altar ruins.

His human-shaped face was filled with compassion, and golden chains were wrapped around fragments of the Six Paths Staff. You think you have inherited the mission of Asura?

No, Naruto Uzumaki, you are the only vessel capable of simultaneously bearing the power of Yin and Yang.

Gaara's black sand suddenly went out of control, and the scalpel in his medical kit floated into a sacrificial array.

Chiyo's niece's spirit grasped one of the swords and nailed the Sand Village headband, engraved with the Konoha emblem, into the center of the array. When the dead willingly become sacrifices, the curse on the village annihilation list will be reversed. Before the girl's phantom dissipated, her fingertip touched the medical captain's heart: "You contain the last pure chakra of Sand Village within you. It's time to awaken."

The roots of the Onoki tree intertwined before Naruto, forming an ancient altar, with scrolls at the base revealing a completely different sealing technique. Twenty years ago, the First Hokage's body disappeared for three hours on the border of the Land of Lightning. With each word he spoke, his skin cracked an inch. When he planted this piece of the divine tree root within me, he said, "When the vessels of yin and yang truly trust each other..."

The golden chain behind Byakuya suddenly pierced his own chest, and drops of blood imbued with the power of the Six Paths splattered onto the Uchiha fan.

Kakashi, who was half petrified, suddenly trembled. The phantom of Tobirama Senju projected from the memorial stone reached out and pressed his right eye: It's time to put this Rinnegan, which our teacher risked his life to preserve, to use.

Karin's reverse psychic array suddenly rotated counterclockwise, and the faded contract patterns reorganized into medical talismans on the skin's surface.

She clutched the datura petal reflecting the cherry blossoms of Haruno, and suddenly noticed that when Sakura bandaged the wounded, each knot contained the pattern of the Whirlpool Clan crest.

The lights of Konoha Hospital distorted into the face of the First Hokage under the blood-red moonlight, while the sage-like face on the back of the young medical ninja's neck spread in sync with the cracks in the volcanic altar.

When the last crimson branch touched the Leaf Village barrier, Gaara's Sand Eyes oozed bloody tears.

The black sand, carrying the truth of the list of villages wiped out, crashed into the barrier, but transformed into a shower of cherry blossoms the moment it made contact.

Amidst the falling petals, the faces of those who perished in Sunagakure emerge from each of the Leaf Village emblems.

Onoki's remains were completely transformed into a sapling of the Divine Tree, its roots entwined with wood-style branches drawn from the Raikage's body, blooming into a yin-yang dual sealing array at Naruto's feet.

The human bodies in the white night began to turn to sand, but the golden chains on the bone wings dragged Madara's phantom toward the Truth-Seeking Balls behind Naruto. Remember, the light of the Tsukuyomi world needs true darkness to illuminate it. His final smile was one of relief. Pollen condensed into the Flying Thunder God Technique seal in Kakashi's petrified Rinnegan. "See for me... a world where ninjas are no longer bound by lies..."

Karin suddenly pressed her hand to her chest; the ninja badge in her medical kit was burning hot.

She saw the remnants of the reverse spirit array reassemble on the ground, pointing to a gap in the core of the volcanic altar that everyone had overlooked—a place where a ghostly light flickered at the same frequency as the mask on the back of Sakura Haruno's neck.
