Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 414 Damn it, we were so close!

"Come on, let's see if the Six Paths Truth-Seeking Balls are more powerful, or my Black Hole Space?"

White and purple lightning flashed incessantly around Li Yao's body, like a lightning chakra mode, with time reset and activation infinitely. This was Li Yao's infinite power mode.

In this mode, Li Yao's chakra output is unlimited.

Li Yao stretched out his right hand, palm facing Naruto and Sasuke, and with a thought.

Buzzing sounds filled the air as fist-sized black hole spheres rapidly coalesced in front of the right palm.

"Black Hole - Infinite Cero!"

shhhhhh!

In an instant, countless black hole space spheres shot towards Naruto and Sasuke, who were five thousand meters away, like a torrent of black cannonballs.

"You only get one chance!" Sasuke withdrew his Susanoo.

"Understood." Naruto clasped his hands together, looking solemn.

At this moment, the two confirmed that they had completed their plan in the mental space, and Li Yao's black hole space bombardment swept in.

The unique spatial fluctuations of a black hole cause ripples throughout the entire space.

Having learned of the terrifying nature of Li Yao's space-time ninjutsu from the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land, Naruto and Sasuke showed no intention of resisting.

call out!

Sasuke used Amenotejikara to instantly teleport and dodge.

call out!

Although Naruto didn't have spatial teleportation, he was moving incredibly fast at that moment.

Moreover, Li Yao's black hole space sphere was launched from 5,000 meters away.

At this distance, Li Yao is safe, but it also means that his attacks can be easily dodged.

Naruto instantly flew 500 meters to the left.

"Disperse!"

With a thought, Li Yao controlled the black hole space sphere that flew out to scatter around him the instant Naruto and Sasuke dodged, without it exploding immediately.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Li Yao attacked with both hands, like two Gatling guns, constantly condensing black hole space spheres and shooting them towards Naruto and Sasuke.

While constantly dodging, Naruto and Sasuke continued to approach Li Yao.

Sasuke completely abandoned Susanoo and kept using Amenotejikara to approach Li Yao at the same distance as Naruto.

"This guy's reaction is pretty quick, just like Naruto's. He doesn't want me to guess the range of Amenotejikara."

"hehe!"

Li Yao smiled inwardly. You can move around, but I can't?

Li Yao was also constantly adjusting his position, always maintaining a 5,000-meter range with Naruto and Sasuke, while the black hole space sphere continued to condense and shoot out.

None of these black hole spheres exploded; they were all stationary in the air, spaced fifty meters apart.

Before long, wherever Naruto passed, countless black hole space spheres stopped in mid-air, waiting for Li Yao's command to explode like landmines.

call out!

Naruto, who was dodging the torrent of black hole space spheres once again, suddenly swung the Truth-Seeking Ball black rod in his hand and shot it into a black hole space sphere.

hiss!

Like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples before the lake returns to its calm state.

The Seeking the Way Jade is not much different from other matter when it is devoured by the black hole space.

That's the power of spatial abilities!

In the original story, if Obito hadn't needed to use his chakra and most of his energy to suppress the Ten-Tails, he wouldn't have been able to use Kamui and the Rinnegan's abilities.

Otherwise, Naruto and Sasuke, whose strength had not yet reached the Six Paths level, would have been no match for Obito.

Now, Li Yao's black hole space is no weaker than the power of divine might, and in terms of divine might attacks, the black hole space is even stronger.

Once swallowed, there's no way to escape.

"Sasuke, that black sphere is definitely dangerous!"

Naruto's expression changed, and he quickly spoke up to remind Sasuke.

"I understand." Sasuke nodded. He had also seen what happened just now. That black sphere had the ability to devour everything, and they absolutely could not be hit by that thing.

Naruto felt this even more deeply. In addition to the power of the Six Paths Yang Release, he now also controls the Bloodline Limit Truth-Seeking Ball, which is enhanced by Sage Mode, making its defensive power even stronger than a simple Truth-Seeking Ball.

But that black sphere was like a giant millstone; anything swallowed up would be ground up, crushed, and disappear.

Even the Seeking Truth Orbs enhanced by celestial magic couldn't stop them; once their physical bodies were hit, death was inevitable, with no other possibility.

Naruto and Sasuke carefully avoided the black hole space sphere, while also looking for an opportunity to get close enough to Li Yao to a safe distance.

Something's not right!

After a while, more and more black hole space spheres filled the sky, but Naruto and Sasuke continued in the same pattern, dodging the black hole space spheres while trying to get closer to Li Yao.

But this was clearly a futile effort.

As time goes by, the space becomes increasingly larger and is filled with black hole spheres. If Li Yao enters one of them, would Naruto and Sasuke still dare to follow him in?

As soon as they enter the area densely populated with black hole space spheres, Li Yao only needs to detonate the black hole space spheres to explode.

Sasuke was alright; he could teleport away instantly using Amenotejikara.

Naruto is out of luck. Without the ability to teleport, once he enters an area densely populated with black hole space spheres, it's like entering a minefield. As long as Li Yao detonates the black hole space spheres in that area, no matter how fast Naruto is, he won't be able to escape.

At that point, will Naruto have any other choice but to die?

Logically, Naruto and Sasuke should be trying to stop him from continuing to spread the black hole space sphere.

Even if they can't stop it, they shouldn't continue doing this futile work!

Moreover, the two only approached each other without launching an attack.

Both Naruto and Sasuke possess ranged attack capabilities.

Five thousand meters is a great distance for ordinary people, and no attack can cross that distance, but for Naruto and Sasuke at this moment, this distance is definitely within their attack range.

But the two did not attack, as if they were plotting something.

Something's not right!

"Something's not right!"

Thinking back to the scene where Naruto and Sasuke's fists collided, Li Yao felt something was extremely wrong, but he couldn't immediately pinpoint what was wrong.

"No, we can't let these two drag us down by the nose!"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Boom boom boom... Amidst the explosion of a large cloud of white smoke, Li Yao instantly created hundreds of shadow clones. Then, his main body quietly used time reset to restore itself to the state before creating the shadow clones, maintaining its peak condition.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... The other shadow clones scattered and ran in all directions.

Li Yao himself blended into the crowd and ran in one direction.

No matter what Naruto and Sasuke are planning, Li Yao just needs to stay far away.

Anyway, Minato and the others aren't planning to kill Obito's clone yet, so Li Yao just needs to keep stalling for time to prepare for Obito's clone to escape.

"Damn it, that guy's figured out our plan!"

The sudden use of Shadow Clone Jutsu by Li Yao caused Naruto's expression to change drastically. They had been very careful; he himself had refrained from using Shadow Clone Jutsu to reduce its prevalence and prevent Li Yao from using it.

Even when using the Shadow Clone Technique, don't create too many shadow clones.

An unexpected incident still occurred.

"No, he probably just sensed that something was wrong."

Sasuke shook his head, his face looking very grim.

Luck doesn't seem to be on their side.

Although Li Yao only sensed that something was wrong, he did not see through their true plan.

But Li Yao's response hit the very nail on the head regarding the real solution to the plan.

"hateful!!!"

Naruto also realized that Li Yao hadn't seen through their true intentions, but that guy's combat intuition was terrifying, and he instinctively made the most correct response.

With so many shadow clones, Sasuke simply couldn't keep his sights on Li Yao's main body.

Damn it!

So close!

If they have a little more time, they will be able to pinpoint Li Yao.

Naruto roared inwardly.
