Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 56: All Acupoints Opened, Clash with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki

"So fast!"

As Li Yao hurtled through the air, he sensed that Mito's vortex behind him had suddenly accelerated, and he was immediately startled.

"no."

"We need to find a way to speed things up."

Li Yao raised an eyebrow. Mito Uzumaki was too fast. He knew that if he didn't do something, Mito Uzumaki would catch up with him in half a minute at most.

Once caught, escaping will only become more difficult.

Bang bang bang!

On the ground, the two black iron chains behind Li Yao were like the 3D Maneuver Gear in the anime "Attack on Titan," pulling Li Yao to glide and move at high speed in the air.

"Using a large amount of Wood Release chakra to stimulate the body... won't work."

"No matter how much I stimulate my body, my movement speed on the ground will not be faster than my current method of movement."

"Then... increase the pulling force of the black iron chain?"

"But this is the fastest I can control!"

"What should we do?"

"What other way could I achieve speed faster than Mito Uzumaki?"

Just as Li Yao was quickly thinking of a way to make him burst out with a speed even faster than Mito Uzumaki so that he could escape the pursuit.

Mito Uzumaki in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode caught up with Li Yao five kilometers outside the Konoha Chakra Perception Barrier.

Although they were still a kilometer away from Li Yao at this time.

But they were already within Mito Uzumaki's attack range.

Mito Uzumaki, who originally intended to condense a small Tailed Beast Ball to kill Li Yao, suddenly turned pale upon seeing the black iron chains extending from Li Yao's back and changed her mind.

"monkey!"

"Danzo!"

"You two are really good friends!"

"They actually used my people for experiments!"

"Still so outstanding, a member of the clan capable of modifying the Vajra Sealing Technique."

At this moment, Mito Uzumaki naturally regarded Li Yao as a member of the Uzumaki clan.

After all, the Black Iron Lock and the Vajra Lock are too similar, both being formed from sealing chakra. She sensed the secret within them at first glance.

Such an outstanding member of the clan was actually driven by Danzo and the Third Hokage to become someone who harbors such terrifying malice towards Konoha.

Without much thought, Mito Uzumaki knew exactly how terrifying the harm had been to the child who was trying to escape Konoha.

That's why Mito Uzumaki changed her mind.

Few members of the Uzumaki clan have survived to begin with.

There are even fewer people as outstanding as Li Yao... you could even say there aren't any.

Mito Uzumaki held back.

But... Mito Uzumaki's decision to hold back was a despairing prospect for Li Yao.

"Boom boom boom boom...!"

Just a kilometer away from Li Yao, Mito Uzumaki made her move. She clapped her hands together, causing the earth to tremble, and countless golden chakra chains, as tall as towering trees, rose from the ground.

Five hundred meters ahead of Li Yao, massive, imposing barriers burst forth from the ground, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Li Yao's pupils contracted slightly, and he stopped mid-air, quickly looking around.

Countless towering, tree-like Vajra barriers burst through the ground and rose into the air, then converged at their tips to form a huge circle at least three or four kilometers in circumference, surrounding him and Mito Uzumaki.

Moreover, as the Adamantine Lock ascended into the sky, a layer of golden, transparent barrier chakra also rose with the Adamantine Lock and converged in the high sky above.

Once they come together, they will form a closed barrier resembling a birdcage.

This is because consciousness can leave the body along with chakra.

Li Yao's shadow clone technique is different from others' shadow clone techniques.

He can sense everything happening on the other side of the shadow clone at any moment.

Therefore, Li Yao was well aware of how terrifying barrier techniques could be.

Even Li Yao couldn't escape the Four Purple Flame Formation, let alone the Vajra Sealing Barrier cast by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Mito Uzumaki.

Once Mito Uzumaki's Vajra Lock successfully gathers and completes the barrier seal, Li Yao's journey through time will come to an end.

"We absolutely cannot let the barrier spell complete!"

Li Yao clapped his hands together forcefully, mobilizing all the chakra within his body to form a chakra chain as large as the Adamantine Lock, which rose from the ground and wrapped around an Adamantine Lock chain.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

Li Yao's black iron chain, like a giant python of the mortal world, tightly coiled around the Vajra chain, squeezing it inward with frantic force.

The two chains, like metal saws, burst forth with countless sparks and lightning.

"It helps...but not much!"

The Vajra Chain, entangled and compressed by the black iron chains, ascended a little slower, but with at least a thousand Vajra Chains, the slight delay in ascending one chain was insignificant.

Even if Li Yao prevents this Vajra Chain from eventually converging with the other Vajra Chains in the middle, it will not affect the completion of the Vajra Sealing Barrier Technique.

Although that would make the barrier much weaker.

Even at its weakest, it's not something Li Yao can break through now.

We must prevent one-third of the Vajra Chains from rising into the air and gathering.

"Chakra!"

"I need a lot of chakra!"

Almost instantly, Li Yao came up with a strategy to deal with the situation.

Faced with Mito Uzumaki's tactic of directly bullying people with a massive amount of chakra, the only thing that could stop the Adamantine Sealing Chains from being successfully gathered was the Black Iron Sealing Chains, which used an equally massive amount of chakra.

"Acupoint sealing technique, released!"

Li Yao's facial muscles bulged wildly, his eyes filled with madness. Under his control, all the acupoints and chakra within his body, except for the Death Gate and Dantian, were opened.

Boom!

In an instant, it was as if countless dams within Li Yao's body had burst open, and all the chakra within his acupoints erupted in a short moment.

sizzle!

Li Yao's muscles felt as if they were being pierced by countless needles and threads, and blood instantly seeped out from his capillaries.

Then, the intense heat from the violent chakra impact on his body turned him into a cloud of bloody mist that shot out in all directions.

At this moment, Li Yao resembled a humanoid balloon filled with blood-red steam, punctured with countless tiny holes, hissing and emitting blood-red steam.

At that moment, his entire body, including his eyeballs, turned a charred brownish-red.

At this moment, Li Yao was like Kai who had opened the Gate of Death, possessing a terrifying amount of chakra that almost brought the final chapter to an end.

However, the physical body is also suffering damage that is almost certain to kill.

In fact, Li Yao did not expect that he deliberately left the Death Gate and Dantian closed, only opening the restrictions on all other acupoints.

It was astonishing that his physical body could withstand such terrifying pressure, comparable to Might Guy opening the Gate of Death.

"I don't even know if I'll be alive after this."

For some reason, this thought flashed through Li Yao's mind, and then he smiled.

who cares?

Although he might die afterward.

However, the amount of chakra gained at such a cost is indeed terrifying.

"ah!!!"

Li Yao's eyes widened, and with a roar, he mobilized all his chakra to form black iron chains.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom...!"

In an instant, the earth trembled violently, and a black iron chain rose up from the ground beside each Vajra Lock, coiling around the Vajra Lock.

Then it squeezes inwards frantically.

"Sizzle!"

Countless sparks and flashes illuminated an area of ​​three to four kilometers, making it as bright as day.

Such a terrifying commotion had already caused a surge of people to move through Konoha.
