The array of ninja tools suspended in the air simultaneously changed direction, and the tips of thousands of kunai lit up with the faint light of sealing techniques.

Deep within the Konoha ley lines, a chakra even more ancient than the Tailed Beasts is flowing along a network of chains toward Byakuya's gradually materializing body.

Suddenly, the forest at the edge of the battlefield began to rustle without any wind, and all the ancient trees planted by the First Hokage bloomed with eerie purple flowers.

Chapter 511 Chakra Cannon

The nascent bone wings behind Byakuya made a crisp cracking sound, and three of the twelve chains suddenly and uncontrollably pierced the chakra cannons of the Cloud Village troops—all of this was captured in the afterimage of Madara's Rinnegan by his meaningful cold laugh before he disappeared.

The shattered bone wings of the White Night meandered and grew on the bronze skin of the Raikage, and the twelve chains suddenly burst forth with the purple light unique to the Sand Village Puppet Technique.

The Raikage's Lightning Release armor emitted a piercing sound, like the chirping of a thousand birds, the moment it touched the chains, and lightning-shaped scars, identical to those of the First Raikage, appeared on the surface of his bulging muscles.

The container was about to collapse. The sand-like marks from Byakuya's left eye spread to his jawline, and the chains piercing the Cloud Village's chakra cannons suddenly began to absorb the energy of the Tailed Beast Ball in reverse, replacing the earth's ley lines with my chakra pathways—

Before she finished speaking, the black blood that Karin vomited suddenly condensed in mid-air into a forbidden array of the Vortex Clan.

The contract markings on her neck perfectly matched the cracked seal on Byakuya's neck. As the golden blood seeped into the Naka River's veins, the emerald chakra surging from the crack in the First Hokage statue suddenly transformed into a phantom of Hashirama Senju.

So that's how it is! The Fourth Raikage suddenly grabbed the chain piercing his chest, and dark red lightning burned along the chain's lines, scorching Byakuya's gradually turning to sand. The First Hokage implanted Wood Release cells in us not to suppress the Tailed Beasts at all!

Amidst the roar, the nine golden chains that split in reverse behind Naruto suddenly pierced into the phantom of Hashirama Senju.

The chakra of the successive Hokage flowed into Byakuya's body along the chains, and the chains that had been corrupted by the evil god suddenly began to grow the wood-style branches and leaves unique to the First Hokage.

In the name of the vortex! Naruto's azure pupils suddenly revealed the tomoe patterns of the Sage of Six Paths. He grabbed three of the chains and stabbed them fiercely into his abdomen. Kurama, this time I will borrow all your power!

The Nine-Tails' roar shook the altar's rubble into a suspension, and the crimson runes began to fade the moment they touched Naruto's chakra.

Byakuya's sand-like left arm suddenly returned to its physical form. He grabbed the Raikage's Lightning Release headband and pressed it against his chest: Kumogakure's Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique can temporarily solidify the container—quick!

The Fourth Raikage's muscles suddenly swelled to twice their normal size, and the wandering golden runes reacted violently with the Lightning Release chakra.

As his fist slammed into Byakuya's chest, the space between the two suddenly distorted into the Wood Release barrier unique to the First Hokage, and the village symbols at the ends of the twelve chains simultaneously lit up with a bloody light.

Now! Karin suddenly tore open the flame pattern on her chest, and the surging chakra condensed in the air into a manipulation scroll unique to Sand Village puppeteers, using my heart as a converter!

The afterimage of Ban's disappearance suddenly appeared on the surface of the scroll, and the reincarnation pattern on his right eye resonated strangely with the core of the evil god.

The yin-yang array in the entire sky suddenly reversed, and countless chakra threads bearing Sharingan patterns hung down from the burning clouds.

A new cycle of reincarnation? Bai Ye's hoarse laughter mingled with the chakra storm as he grabbed the golden chain Naruto offered and pierced his own throat—merely an echo of an old god.

Before he finished speaking, the phantom of Hashirama Senju suddenly formed the Seal of the Snake.

The Konoha headbands bearing curse marks on the hearts of all the Kage-level ninjas exploded simultaneously, and the parasitic Wood Release cells transformed into countless emerald-colored butterflies that devoured all the remaining chakra threads left by Madara.

The seal is about to be completed! The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release pillar suddenly split into a net, enveloping the gradually materializing core of the evil god, but the direction of the earth vein flow is wrong!

Suddenly, the Raikage roared and tore off two ribs. The dark red blood transformed into the Lightning Release runes unique to the First Raikage the moment it touched the air.

As these runes merged into the chains on Bai Ye's chest, the twelve chains suddenly emitted a unique seven-colored light, a fusion of the five elemental chakras.

In the name of the Raikage! He grabbed Byakuya's right arm, which had transformed into a chain, and plunged it into his own heart. The surging lightning condensed between the two of them into the Six Paths Ninja Tools passed down through generations of Kumogakure. Hold on, you bastard!

The iron sand at the tips of Bai Ye's silver hair suddenly vaporized, and the chains piercing his body emitted a buzzing sound similar to the condensation of a Tailed Beast Ball.

Suddenly, all nine golden chains behind Naruto disappeared into the phantom of the First Hokage. When Hashirama Senju formed the last hand seal, the entire battlefield's spacetime suddenly froze in an eerie stillness.

Ban's laughter pierced through the barriers of time and space at that moment.

The blood-red runes that had been shattered by Dust Release suddenly reformed on the surface of the Cloud Village's chakra cannons. As the burning Yin-Yang array spread to the border of the Land of Fire, all the ancient trees planted by the First Hokage bore fruit with Sharingan patterns.

This is... the real beginning... Byakuya's last words dissipated in the chakra storm, and his completely sand-like body suddenly disintegrated into twelve streams of light, each shooting towards the core altar of a ninja village in a different country.

As Naruto staggered and knelt on the cracked altar, the seal on his abdomen suddenly revealed yin-yang runes identical to those of Byakuya.

The Nine-Tails' chakra flowed uncontrollably into the depths of the Naka River's ley lines, where a consciousness even more ancient than the core of the evil god was slowly awakening along with the emerald chakra.

Under the crimson moonlight, the outermost watchtower of Sunagakure suddenly collapsed silently.

The cursed seal on the back of the night watchman's neck turned to ashes the moment it came into contact with the night wind, while a single tear of blood mixed with gold dust silently slid down the corner of the First Kazekage statue, which was a hundred miles away.

Chapter 512 The Legacy of the Sand Village

The crimson moonlight seeped through the barrier outside Sunagakure, and Gaara's black sand trembled violently under the erosion of the runes.

Granny Chiyo's phantom emerged halfway from the iron sand, her withered fingers pressing against the cracked seal on his neck—the yin-yang twin curse seal that appeared there was exactly the same as the mark on Karin Uzumaki's neck.

The bloodline of Sunagakure should have been severed twenty years ago. Chiyo's phantom suddenly grasped Gaara's wound, from which chakra surged. "Back then, I used the Reincarnation Technique to bear the karma of the First Kazekage; now it is your turn to bear this contract for the entire ninja world!"

Suddenly, the gold dust, accompanied by a blood mist, shot into the sky, and the gourd on Gaara's back exploded with countless cracks.

He saw his blood seeping into the sand flowing backwards along the yin-yang runes. The chakra resonance coming from the direction of the Naga River reminded him of the Uzumaki clan scroll that had been lost from the medical department three days ago—it turned out that the curse mark on Karin's neck was the keyhole to the contract.

The container is about to crack! Naruto roared as he grabbed the cracked ground.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was flowing wildly along the First Hokage's chains, and the sealing patterns on his abdomen suddenly resonated with the light that flowed before Byakuya disappeared.

The Fourth Raikage's roar echoed from the depths of the clouds, and the burning Dust Release runes were actually devouring the energy of the Lightning Release chakra cannon.

At this moment, the roots of the Onoki tree pierced into the core of the altar, and the Third Tsuchikage's cracked body trembled in sync with the earth's veins.

The Root emblem at his waist suddenly transformed into twelve golden chains, binding Naruto: "The forbidden technique I inscribed twenty years ago in Hozuki Castle prison, this is the moment I've been waiting for!" Broken sealing formulas spilled from his pupils, the human sacrifice ritual that the First Tsuchikage failed to complete...

wrong!

You've all got the contract with the wrong person! The phantom of Byakuya suddenly materialized from the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The shattered bone wings on his back were reassembling, and the ends of the chains piercing through the void were connected to the fruits of the Divine Tree planted by the First Hokage: Twenty years ago, I infiltrated Hashirama's cell laboratory not to steal the power of Wood Release—

The crimson moonlight was suddenly stained with emerald-colored chakra, and the magatama pattern of the Sage of Six Paths appeared on the surface of the evil god's core.

Byakuya's completely sand-like right hand pressed against the seal on Naruto's abdomen: The will of the living that the First Hokage couldn't withstand back then was the karmic cycle that the ninjas themselves had sown! Twelve streams of light suddenly burst forth from his bone wings, precisely piercing the core of the altars of various countries.

When the roots of Onoki completely transformed into golden chains, the barrier surrounding Sunagakure collapsed with a deafening roar.

Gaara saw Chiyo's phantom point in the direction of the medical department before it dissipated—there was half a bloodstained Sunagakure headband glowing there, and Karin had used this headband to stop the bleeding of the seriously injured Kankuro three days ago.

The roar of the Nine-Tails and the tremors of the evil god's core suddenly stopped, and Naruto discovered that the seal on his abdomen was rebuilding new patterns.

The smile on Bai Ye's face as he faded away carried the warmth of their first meeting at the Konoha orphanage.

As pillars of light rose simultaneously from the twelve altars, a consciousness even more ancient than the Tailed Beasts finally opened its eyes deep within the Naka River.

Deep within the ruins of the Sunagakure Medical Department, half of a kunai bearing the Uzumaki clan crest suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.

Gold dust stained with Gaara's blood was flowing along the crack in the ground towards the altar, while a sealing device that Karin had secretly buried outside the altar three days ago was now faintly glowing green deep within the earth's veins.

As Karin's chakra blade sliced ​​through her palm, the sealing device in the ruins of the medical department suddenly emitted a sharp beep.

The vortex clan runes buried three days ago are multiplying wildly along the earth's veins. The gold dust stained with Gaara's blood transformed into countless crimson chains that pierced the void the moment it touched the sealing array beneath her feet.

This is the real keyhole! She grabbed the blood-stained Sand Village headband and pressed it to her chest, and the Vortex Clan patterns on the medical badge suddenly surged.

The moment the blood droplet fell into the crack of the altar, the twelve pillars of light simultaneously let out a mournful cry—the sealing scroll that Bai Ye left at the Konoha orphanage twenty years ago was now burning a yin-yang twin array in her veins.

The last image of Chiyo before she vanished suddenly flashed in her pupils.

Three days ago, when he stopped Kankuro's bleeding, the bloodstains stained with the Sunagakure headband... It turns out that Byakuya had hidden the key to the contract in the purest bloodline of the Uzumaki clan twenty years ago.

The moment Karin's medical kunai pierced her heart with my blood, the fruit of the Divine Tree planted by the First Hokage suddenly exploded in the void.

Twelve golden chains erupted from her back, precisely binding the consciousness of the departed soul that was about to be devoured by the core of the evil god, ending this cycle of reincarnation!

The Raikage's chakra cannon suddenly changed direction, and the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release runes resonated with the Uzumaki clan's sealing array.

Onoki's cracked hands gripped the edge of the altar tightly, the Root emblem at his waist melting away: it turned out that the forbidden experiment at Hozuki Castle was to allow the will of a living person to transcend the boundaries of space and time...

It's not too late to discover this now. Bai Ye's sand-transformed right arm suddenly pierced through the space-time rift, and the reconstructed bone wings were piercing countless holes in the core of the evil god.

His shattered phantom flickered within Karin's chains: Twenty years ago, when I modified the data of the Hashira cells, I was waiting for this moment that could bring all cause and effect together.

As Karin's medical badge fully merged into the core of the altar, the phantom of the First Hokage suddenly emitted a piercing baby cry.

The consciousness of the souls bound by the golden chains began to twist violently, and the Six Paths Magatama on the surface of the evil god's core began to devour the ninjas' chakra network.

The true sacrifice... The hands of the First Phantom suddenly pierced through Onoki's chest, and the Third Tsuchikage's earth veins trembled in unison and then stopped abruptly. It was the last will of the living!

The new sealing patterns on Naruto's abdomen suddenly went berserk.

Chapter 513 Fire Sacrifice

The Nine-Tails' chakra transformed into crimson chains that bound his sand-like legs. The streams of light that burst forth from the White Night Bone Wings were now reconstructing the First Hokage's Wood Release cells within his blood vessels.

Wait! Naruto grabbed the dissipating white night phantom, only to find his palm being eroded by the Yin-Yang Twin Array. You intended to do this from the very beginning...

The sky shattered completely at that moment.

The burning evil god's true form extended its tentacles, covered in Sharingan eyes, from the depths of the black hole. The golden chains that had been wrapped around the altars of various countries were now weaving new chakra meridians on its body.

Onoki's tattered body suddenly transformed into a Dust Release crystal core, and the Third Tsuchikage's final roar and the Raikage's chakra cannon simultaneously blasted towards the center of the vortex: Don't let the contract be completed!

Xianglin's heart has been completely assimilated into the core of the altar.

She saw the memory of her mother being used as an experimental subject twenty years ago flowing through the chains—it turned out that what Bai Ye stole back then was not only the data of Hashirama's cells, but also the improved plan of the forbidden human sacrifice technique passed down from generation to generation by the Uzumaki clan.

The true cycle of reincarnation... The tentacles of the evil god suddenly pierced through the twelve pillars of light, and the chakra of the Allied Shinobi Forces was flowing backward along the veins of the divine tree planted by the First Hokage, a perfect closed loop of cause and effect over a thousand years!

The last remaining bone wings of Bai Ye completely turned to sand at this moment.

The chains that pierced through the void suddenly reversed direction, pinning the evil god's tentacles, which were devouring chakra, firmly to Karin's Yin-Yang array.

Before he dissipated, his chakra fluctuations precisely shattered the seal in Naruto's abdomen, and the Nine-Tails' crimson chakra finally resonated with the First Hokage's Wood Release cells.

"Use this!" Karin threw the blood-stained Sand Village headband at Naruto.

Three days ago, the bloodstains from Kankuro suddenly burned a Uzumaki clan seal pattern onto the surface of the headband. The golden chains that bound the evil god began to draw power from the First Generation Phantom the moment they touched the bloodstains.

When the Raikage's chakra cannon and the Dust Release crystal core simultaneously struck the core of the evil god, Karin saw that the last sealing array that Byakuya had left in the laboratory twenty years ago had finally been activated.

Those souls that should have devoured the ninja world are now flowing along the Yin-Yang array in her heart, continuously injecting into the vessel of living will that the First Hokage failed to complete back then.

The contract has been reversed! Onoki's remaining consciousness roared within the Dust Release crystal core.

The Third Tsuchikage finally understood the truth behind the forbidden technique experiment at Hozuki Castle prison twenty years ago—Byakuya never altered the technique itself, but rather completely reversed the cause and effect between the sacrifice and the caster.

The evil god itself emitted a wailing sound that shattered the void.

Its tentacles, covered with Sharingan eyes, are withering within Kassagi's Yin-Yang chains, and the Allied Shinobi Forces' chakra suddenly reverses from its inverted state.

Naruto seized the fleeting opportunity and blasted the new power formed by fusing the Nine-Tails' chakra with the First Hokage's cells, along with the Sand Village headband, into the core of the altar.

As the twelve pillars of light exploded simultaneously, Karin saw Byakuya's last fading phantom smiling in the direction of the Konoha Orphanage.

Deep within those golden chains that reconstructed the world, a consciousness even more ancient than the Sage of Six Paths finally opened its Rinne Sharingan—a brand new chakra tree forged by the will of a living being was now taking root and sprouting in the shattered sky of the ninja world.

Emerald light suddenly surged from the leyline fissures outside Sunagakure, and the core of the sealing device that Karin had buried three days ago was now revealing the spacetime coordinates left by Byakuya twenty years ago.

The Raikage's severed horn trembled slightly amidst the ruins, and on the surface of the chakra cannon wreckage, stained with fragments of Dust Release crystal cores, the forbidden runes of the First Raikage faintly appeared.

In the unnoticed shadows of the altar, half a bloodstained Sand Village headband is reconstructing a brand new Yin-Yang Twin Array deep within the earth's veins.

Chapter 514 Beneath the Sky Rift

The black hole in the sky was oozing thick, inky mist, each wisp carrying a bone-chilling cold, casting the burning evil god's form below in flickering light.

The monster's tentacles, which were originally covered with Sharingan eyes, had withered in Xiangsha's Yin-Yang chains. But now, with the low roar coming from the black hole, those charred limbs began to ooze dark red fluid, as if they had been re-injected with life.

Bai Ye's fingers, hanging by his side, curled slightly, and the golden chains on his bone wings suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.

He looked up at the black hole, a cold smile creeping onto his lips: "So that's how it is. This is the core of the first sealing technique." Before he finished speaking, the chains shot toward the core of the altar like living things, weaving into a net in mid-air, tightly binding the core of the evil god that was reorganizing.

"Byakuya!" Naruto leaped into the air, but was violently bounced back by a transparent barrier and crashed into the broken wall behind him.

He clutched his aching chest and got up, his pupils pulsating with the crimson light of the Nine-Tails' chakra: "What exactly do you want to do?!" Just now, when he blasted the power that had fused the Nine-Tails' chakra with the First Hokage's cells into the altar, he clearly saw the phantom of Byakuya looking towards the Konoha Orphanage before it dissipated—that was the direction he knew best, and also the most painful scar of his childhood.

But at this moment, this person was standing on the enemy's side, using bone wing chains to suppress the evil god, which made Naruto's throat feel like it was stuffed with fire.

"Step back, Naruto Uzumaki." Byakuya didn't turn around, the chains behind him humming like metal scraping. "You don't understand how much blood is hidden in the First Hokage's sealing techniques."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure leaped down from the ruins on the west side.

Shion's black hair and red dress billowed in the wind, the dagger in her hand, engraved with ancient runes, reflecting an eerie, ghostly blue light, yet her eyes held a cold frost: "He's right. Do you remember the truth of twenty years ago?" Her voice was like a knife dipped in ice, "The first generation of ninjas did not sacrifice themselves willingly—their souls were devoured by the 'will of the living,' forcing them to become vessels for sacrifice."

Naruto suddenly turned his head, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Shion is a rogue ninja from Amegakure and an old acquaintance of Byakuya; her words are always sharp and truthful.

He had seen the term "living will" in the First Hokage's notes—it was a legendary power formed by the beliefs of countless ninjas, which was supposed to be the light that protected the ninja world.
