Chapter 423 The Six Paths Immortal is Too Late

"Could that thing on me... be Kurama?"

If there was anything else about Naruto that Li Yao might be interested in, the only thing Naruto could think of was Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

"No, no!"

Naruto immediately shook his head.

If it were truly the Nine-Tails, Li Yao wouldn't have remained indifferent while watching him merge with the Nine-Tails.

Given Li Yao's spatial teleportation range, he could easily arrive at Nine-Tails' side and capture it a step ahead.

Even though Nine-Tails had already signed a summoning contract with his father, Li Yao could still take Nine-Tails to a far away place to prevent himself from merging with Nine-Tails.

But Li Yao watched helplessly as he merged with the Nine-Tailed Fox.

What Li Yao wanted for himself was definitely not the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Then... what is it?

Naruto couldn't understand it, and neither could Sasuke. But as long as they could kill Li Yao ahead of time, Sasuke, who had obtained the chakra of the eight tailed beasts, felt that he was capable again. He had a plan in mind that he could try.

"Naruto, this time I'll take the lead, you support!"

Sasuke didn't say much, afraid that Li Yao would notice. After casually talking to Naruto, he rushed towards Li Yao and teleported there without using Amenotejikara.

"Sasuke..."

Seeing Sasuke acting recklessly, Naruto was truly... helpless. He could only follow him and cooperate with Sasuke to sense Li Yao's movements.

It's sizzling!

Before even getting close to Li Yao, Sasuke's Susanoo shot out a bolt of lightning that struck Li Yao's head in mid-air.

"So fast!"

This time, Sasuke's lightning attack seemed to have no casting animation. Li Yao was startled and instinctively teleported away, arriving fifty meters above Naruto's head, barely dodging Sasuke's lightning attack.

It's sizzling!

Unexpectedly, another bolt of lightning struck. Almost the instant Li Yao appeared, Sasuke's lightning struck, targeting Li Yao's head again, giving Li Yao no time to make any other moves.

Sasuke, seemingly empowered by chakra, also had enhanced senses, allowing him to react instantly to Li Yao's teleportation and launch an attack.

This time, Naruto's Nine-Tails punch also came crashing down, the two working together seamlessly.

call out!

Li Yao instinctively teleported again to dodge, this time arriving fifty meters to Naruto's left.

But... *sizzle*, Sasuke's lightning appeared again in an instant, giving Li Yao no chance to make a move.

fast!

too fast!

With the Susanoo empowered by the chakra of the eight tailed beasts, Sasuke gained complete control over Lightning Release.

Every time Li Yao teleports in, Sasuke's lightning always follows right on time.

Faced with the near-lightning-speed attack of lightning, Li Yao could only use his full strength to teleport away, focusing all his attention on teleporting, leaving him no chance to attack Naruto.

shhhhhh!

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Li Yao kept teleporting, while Sasuke's Susanoo kept releasing white lightning.

"This guy really does have designs on Naruto."

Watching Li Yao teleport away repeatedly under his lightning attacks, yet never stray far, always remaining within a hundred meters of Naruto, Sasuke thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

"Naruto..."

Sasuke secretly gave Naruto a look. The repeated lightning attacks forced Li Yao to teleport repeatedly. Li Yao's instincts had been enhanced, so it was time to give it a try.

"I see……"

Naruto didn't need Sasuke to say anything; he understood his friend's meaning with just a glance. He quickly controlled the Nine-Tails' chakra to envelop himself, preparing to unleash his power.

Tear!

At that very moment, Sasuke's Susanoo's lightning attacks were no longer individual strikes, but rather the entire Susanoo suddenly released a massive electromagnetic field of lightning in all directions, filling an area with endless white lightning within a diameter of one kilometer.

Li Yao's instinctive reaction, amplified by Sasuke's repeated rapid lightning attacks, caused him to subconsciously teleport within a hundred-meter radius of Naruto again, instead of immediately teleporting out of the lightning sphere field created by Sasuke.

It's sizzling!

Li Yao, who appeared 60 meters to Naruto's left, was unable to dodge Sasuke's preemptive Aura Lightning Field attack. He was like a piece of metal falling into the electric field, and his head, which was not enveloped by the black hole space, was instantly invaded by white lightning.

Lightning imbued with the power of the Six Paths of Yin may not have great physical power, but lightning infused with the power of the Six Paths of Yin can directly attack the spirit and soul, primarily through paralysis.

Even with multiple modes activated, Li Yao couldn't withstand it. Not only was his physical body paralyzed by the electric shock, rendering him unable to move, but his mind and soul were also instantly paralyzed, leaving him in a dazed and incapable state of thought.

"Oh no!"

This was the thought that flashed through Li Yao's mind in the instant he lost consciousness as lightning struck.

shhhhh!

Naruto and Sasuke naturally wouldn't let go of Li Yao's brief moment of distraction. Sasuke immediately withdrew the lightning field and used Amenotejikara to instantly teleport him and Naruto in front of Li Yao, simultaneously extending both palms to touch the left and right sides of Li Yao's cheeks.

The moment they touched the downy hair on Li Yao's cheek, the yin and yang forces in their palms flickered, and an invisible force spread out.

But just as the two men's palms touched Li Yao's cheeks and the seal was activated, the Time Reset Ninjutsu, which had been passively activated on Li Yao's body, flashed again.

In that instant, time reset.

When Li Yao's physical condition returned to its peak, his mental state also recovered from his daze in that instant.

"Flying Thunder God..."

The moment his consciousness returned, Li Yao instinctively used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away and avoid the seals of Naruto and Sasuke.

"Too late!"

Inside the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths floated above the Pure Water, looking at the scene reflected in the mirror-like water. He smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since learning from Kurama's chakra that Li Yao was a visitor from another world, the Sage of Six Paths has been plotting how to seal Li Yao away.

He observed in secret until he had a good grasp of Li Yao's abilities as an otherworldly visitor, before secretly making his move and resurrecting the previous Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique ahead of schedule.

Then, at the moment of Naruto's death, he pulled the souls of the two destined individuals into the Pure Land, bestowed upon them the power of the Six Paths Yin and Yang, and then gave each of them the Rinnegan and Truth-Seeking Ball chakra.

He originally thought that it wouldn't be difficult for Naruto and Sasuke, who had been strengthened by him, to seal away Li Yao, this visitor from another world.

Who would have thought that Li Yao would use that black space ninjutsu so powerfully, and that his reaction speed, enhanced by various ninjutsu, was no less than that of Naruto and Sasuke, who were at the Six Paths level, leading even the Sage of Six Paths to believe that Naruto and Sasuke had no way to deal with Li Yao.

As it turned out... Sasuke gave him a surprise.

Conversely, by taking advantage of Li Yao's quick instinctive reaction, they successfully gained an opportunity to seal Li Yao at close range.

Since the Sage of Six Paths knew that Li Yao, this visitor from another world, possessed powerful space-time ninjutsu, how could he not take countermeasures?

The Six Paths Chibaku Tensei Sealing Technique, which he bestowed upon Naruto and Sasuke using the combined power of the Six Paths Yin and Yang, is not an ordinary sealing technique, but the strongest spatial sealing technique.

Back then, my mother's space-time ninjutsu was so powerful that she could instantly create an independent space, so ordinary sealing techniques were useless against her.

Only the Six Paths Planetary Devastation Sealing Technique is effective because it is the strongest space-time ninjutsu.

Once locked by the Six Paths Planetary Devastation Sealing Technique, the surrounding space will be locked and turned into chaos, making it impossible to use any space-time ninjutsu.

Naruto and Sasuke's Six Paths Yin-Yang Power hasn't fully hit Li Yao yet, but the Yin-Yang Power has already merged, and the Six Paths Planetary Devastation Sealing Technique has locked onto Li Yao.

At this moment, the space around Li Yao seemed to be fixed, and it was too late for Li Yao to use spatial teleportation to escape.
