Konoha: Superman template, the spoiled brat becomes strong.

"Step back!" Blood seeped from Kakashi's Kamui Sharingan as he held a kunai horizontally across his chest.

The lightning armor that had been scattered by the lightning shadow was now reforming around the mysterious man, transforming into a cage wrapped in purple lightning, but it vanished into green smoke the moment it touched the hem of the black robe.

Before Temari could fully unfold her three-star fan, iron sand began to fall like startled birds.

The mysterious figure raised a hand and stroked the floating fragments of dust, the beams of light refracted by the prism condensing into the shape of shackles between his fingers. How could mere ants be allowed to meddle in Princess Kaguya's game? The hoarse voice echoed with multiple sounds, as if a thousand voices were whispering simultaneously in the cracks of time and space.

When his gaze swept over Naruto's ninja headband, Hinata suddenly clutched her chest, staggered, and knelt down, her Byakugan vision exploding with countless black veins.

"What exactly are you...?" Sasuke's Tenma Spear had only been half-formed when it suddenly collapsed, and the backlash of chakra tore open a deep wound on his right arm, exposing the bone.

The moment blood splattered on Naruto's cheek, the Nine-Tails' chakra suddenly boiled uncontrollably, and its crimson-gold cloak transformed into the magatama pattern of the Sage of Six Paths.

Killer Bee roared and hurled eight octopus tentacles, compressing the Tailed Beast Ball into a jet-black ball of light in his palm.

The mysterious man merely flicked his fingertip, and the suspended dust fragments wove into a net of light.

When the chakra imbued with the Bloodline Limit touched the Tailed Beast Ball, the entire space suddenly fell into an eerie silence—the destructive energy, five meters in diameter, vanished silently like bubbles.

This is... the annihilation property of Yin-Yang Release? Shikamaru's Shadow Sewing Technique twisted into a bizarre pattern on the ground, and cold sweat trickled down his temples.

He saw that the starlight on the mysterious man's black robe was actually flowing Seeking Truth Orbs. Those pitch-black spheres were slowly rotating in a trajectory that defied the laws of physics, and each intersection tore open tiny spacetime rifts.

Kakashi suddenly tore open his headband over his right eye, and the Kamui vortex tore open a crack in the void.

However, a roar like a glacier collapsing came from the depths of the black hole, and a cold current carrying the aura of Kaguya Otsutsuki poured out, freezing his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Before the Raikage could even unleash his Lightning Release: Heavy Explosion, the remaining Lightning Release armor disintegrated into an electric net, groveling at the mysterious man's feet like a submissive beast.

Watch out! The moment Temari's three-star fan unleashed a hurricane, the mysterious figure appeared behind Sasuke.

The pale fingers gently touched the back of his neck, and suddenly the sealing incantation of the Sage of Six Paths appeared in the air.

Naruto crossed his Vajra and Totsuka Blade to parry, but the moment they touched, the force of the impact caused his hand to split open – that finger actually existed in three time-space nodes at the same time!

The crimson chakra receded from Naruto's body like a receding tide, and he watched helplessly as Sasuke fell into the rubble like a puppet with its strings cut.

Hinata's Gentle Fist chakra surged wildly through her meridians, yet she couldn't even get within three meters of the mysterious man.

When the Nine-Tails' chakra went berserk again, Naruto suddenly saw the faint outline of horns under his black robe—it wasn't the horn-like bone spikes of the Otsutsuki, but a twisted shape that was closer to the horns of a demon.

Enough! The Raikage's roar, fueled by lightning chakra, exploded as he burned his last bit of power to break free of his restraints.

The fist, covered in lightning patterns, pierced through the mysterious figure's phantom, but turned into bones the instant it touched the folds of spacetime.

The Fourth Kazekage's Sand Kongo was about to form a shield when it was pulverized by the Dust Release barrier that appeared out of nowhere.

The mysterious man suddenly let out a pleasant chuckle, and nine Rinne Sharingan eyes formed an ouroboros pattern behind him.

As a jet-black chakra ball condensed at his fingertips, six sealing patterns of Planetary Devastation began to appear on the ground of the entire battlefield.

Naruto trembled as he raised his blood-soaked right hand, only to find that he couldn't even condense the most basic Rasengan.

Just then, a clear bell rang out from the frozen spacetime turbulence.

In the frozen space-time, the black chakra ball at the mysterious man's fingertip suddenly rippled.

The nine Rinne Sharingan eyes simultaneously turned southeast, and the Ouroboros pattern began to gnaw at its own tail in the void.

Hinata's Byakugan suddenly detected something unusual—a fragment of Dust Release at the edge of the battlefield was refracting an oddly colored halo, like a glowing jellyfish swimming in the deep sea.

Chapter 276 Princess Kaguya's Dowry

Even ants have aesthetic value. The mysterious man's black robe suddenly lost its starlight, revealing writhing spacetime runes beneath the lining.

He flicked his finger, and the floating remnants of the Tailed Beast Ball transformed into twelve tomoe that surrounded everyone, granting them thirty-six cycles of the sun and moon to find Princess Kaguya's dowry.

Killer Bee's octopus tentacles on his shoulder suddenly convulsed, and the Eight-Tails inside him let out a muffled roar: Beware of contract traps!

This bastard is tampering with the flow of chakra! Shikamaru's Shadow Sewing Technique suddenly disintegrated on the ground into the Nara clan emblem. He suddenly realized that the rotation of the sun and moon that the other party mentioned was not a unit of time—in the broken Dust Release prism, the giant Tenseigan on the surface of the moon was reflected.

Kakashi's frozen kaleidoscope suddenly began to seep ice crystals, and he staggered as he ripped off his headband: He was using the spacetime turbulence as a coordinate anchor point... Before he could finish speaking, the six Earth Explosion Star Array patterns beneath the mysterious man's feet suddenly began to rotate in reverse.

Sasuke coughed up blood and propped himself up. His Rinnegan reflected the strange sight revealed when the other man's black robe was rolled up—that pale wrist was wrapped with the same magatama necklace as the Sage of Six Paths.

Wait! Naruto's shattered headband suddenly glowed with golden light, and the Nine-Tails' chakra condensed into Yang Release crystals at his wound, at least telling us that the thing... The Crimson Gold Tailed Beast Cloak suddenly let out a mournful cry, and the pressure emanating from the mysterious man's fingertips pressed him heavily into the cracked ground.

The scattered gold dust from the Fourth Kazekage suddenly coalesced into the shape of a crown, only to turn into dust in the next second.

The mysterious man's laughter trembled through time and space: as the moonlight soaked into the puppet mound of Sunagakure for the third time... the black hole behind him suddenly swallowed all the remnants of the Tailed Beast Balls, and a huge Byakugan illusion appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

When Temari's three-star fan touched the floating dust shards, the entire space suddenly began to pixelate and disintegrate—like a charcoal sketch being erased by an eraser.

The Raikage's Lightning Release armor suddenly returned to normal, but blood was still dripping from his burning, skeletal hands.

Hinata trembled as she helped Naruto up, and noticed a diamond-shaped spacetime mark appearing on the back of his neck.

Kakashi's Kamui Sharingan has finally thawed, but the image deep within the black hole remains in his pupils—a bronze box engraved with the Otsutsuki clan crest is floating in the turbulent flow of time and space.

Thirty-six... Shikamaru used kunai to carve the symbols of the waxing and waning moon on the ground, and the sand grains suddenly arranged themselves into a star map trajectory.

When Killer Bee tried to sense the contract trap using the tailed beast's chakra, the Eight-Tails suddenly cried out: Bee!

That mark is devouring my malice!

At the edge of the shattered battlefield, Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly resonated.

He looked in the direction of the trembling sword and saw black viscous liquid seeping from the ground where the mysterious man had disappeared—clearly the remnants of Sage Chakra unique to Ryuchi Cave.

Naruto suddenly pressed his hand to his chest, and the Nine-Tails' roar exploded deep within his consciousness: Brat!

That guy smelled like the Six Old Men!

As the last dust prism fell to the ground, moonlight pierced through the clouds.

Temari's three-star fan cast three shadows on the ground, and the starry sky reflected in Killer Bee's sunglasses suddenly lacked the constellation Scorpio.

Kakashi tore off his blood-stained headband and discovered a fragment of a blood-stained priestess's robe floating in the Kamui dimension—the material of which was exactly the same as the fabric unearthed from the ruins of the Land of Demons.

The night wind whipped up sand and gravel, drawing irregular concentric circles around everyone's feet.

Hinata's Byakugan suddenly saw the chakra flowing deep within the earth's veins, converging towards the Land of Iron in the shape of some ancient altar.

Meanwhile, the diamond-shaped mark on the back of Naruto's neck was now emitting an eerie purple light as the moonlight grew stronger.

Chapter 277 Princess Kaguya's Tears

Moonlight condensed into frost on the broken rocks, and Sasuke used his Kusanagi sword to pick up a strand of black slime.

The liquid twisted eerily at the tip of the blade, conjuring patterns of white snake scales. It was the Snake Shedding Technique from Ryuchi Cave. Before he finished speaking, the sand beneath his feet suddenly began to float against gravity, sparking tiny fragments as it collided with Kakashi's blood-stained headband.

Three minutes. Shikamaru used a kunai to draw three concentric circles on the rock face. Based on Hinata's observation of the earth's vein flow, the altar in the direction of the Land of Iron would trigger a chakra tide every three minutes. His fingertips moved along the specially made star map of Sunagakure, and suddenly pressed on a certain indentation. "Naruto, isn't the mark on the back of your neck burning?"

The blond boy suddenly clutched the back of his neck, and the Nine-Tails' chakra uncontrollably overflowed from his fingertips.

The pebbles beneath their feet began to rotate clockwise, refracting a distorted star map onto Killer Bee's sunglasses. The missing point in Scorpio... Temari suddenly unfurled her Three Star Fan, three wind blades precisely slicing through the floating sand, corresponding to the Yomotsu Hirasaka spatial node recorded in the ancient texts of Mount Myōboku.

Kakashi ripped off the ninja vest that was stuck together with blood, and fragments of the priestess's outfit in the Kamui dimension were emitting a pale purple glow.

As he gazed with his Sharingan, the fabric's texture resonated with the sloughed-off fluid at the tip of Sasuke's sword. The purification power of the Land of Demons' priestess, his voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing, and the Sage Art of Ryuchi Cave were mutually devouring each other.

Hinata's Byakugan suddenly rippled as she saw Naruto's Yang Release chakra flowing backward along the diamond-shaped mark. The altar... was rewriting Naruto's chakra nature! As the girl exclaimed, a phantom of the Nine-Tails' claws flashed behind Naruto, and fragments of the torn Tailed Beast Cloak drifted towards a spatial rift in the northeast.

"Bee!" The Eight-Tails' tentacles suddenly shot out from behind Killer Bee, wrapping around the chakra fragments that were about to fall into the rift. This smell... is the Yin-Yang Orb that the Six Paths used to seal Kaguya! The rap ninja rarely put away his smile, and his sunglasses reflected the distorted moon.

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly contracted, and he saw the twelve tomoe patterns reassembling behind Naruto's neck.

Shikamaru suddenly plunged a kunai into his palm, using the pain to stay awake: the so-called mysterious object was not a physical object at all—it was the vessel of Kaguya's awakening consciousness! Blood dripped onto the star map and transformed into swimming tadpole-like characters that crawled all over the rock wall.

Kakashi's Kamui dimension suddenly trembled violently, and the spatial turbulence brought out by the half of the priestess's robe as it broke free to tear spiderweb-like cracks above everyone's heads.

Want to gamble? Naruto wiped away the blood from his nose, and the Nine-Tails' chakra ignited into golden flames in his pupils.

Sasuke's Kusanagi sword suddenly unsheathed itself, and the magatama at the end of the hilt resonated with the mark on the back of Naruto's neck.

When Killer Bee enveloped the spatial rift with Tailed Beast chakra, everyone saw half of a Yin-Yang Orb floating deep within the rift—its surface covered with vein-like patterns, pulsating rhythmically.

Temari's three-star fan suddenly flew out of her hand, drawing three wind barriers around the Yin-Yang Orb.

The instant the barrier formed, the concentric circles Shikamaru had drawn suddenly all pointed towards the Land of Iron, and Hinata's Byakugan saw the earth ley lines chakra forming a massive vortex centered on the altar. Wait! Kakashi's Kamui Sharingan was bleeding, and the pulsating frequency of the Yin-Yang Orb... was perfectly synchronized with Naruto's heartbeat!

Just as Naruto's fingers were about to touch the Yin-Yang Jewel, chakra threads suddenly extended from the diamond-shaped mark on his back.

These purple-glowing threads pierced through the twelve magatama patterns, weaving the outline of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in the void.

Nine Rinne Sharingan suddenly opened on the surface of the suspended Yin-Yang Jade, each pupil reflecting the astonished expressions of the crowd.

Killer Bee's Eight-Tails chakra boiled uncontrollably, scorching black wedge-shaped marks onto his skin.

The spatial rift suddenly solidified into ice crystal-like cracks, and the mysterious figure slowly stepped out from the frozen folds of spacetime.

The stardust hanging from the hem of his black robe turned to ash the moment it touched the ground, and each grain of dust reflected a different scene of death in Kakashi's Sharingan.

Princess Kaguya's tears were mistaken for the Yin-Yang Jewel. The mysterious figure lightly tapped the floating crystal with his fingertips, and twelve chains of black flame shot out from the void, pinning the diamond-shaped mark on the back of Naruto's neck to the rock wall.

Chapter 278 Change in Earth's Vein Flow

Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly rippled, and he saw the Ryuchi Cave incantations, which originated from the Kusanagi sword, floating on the surface of the chains.

Killer Bee's Eight-Tails tentacles suddenly straightened into chakra spears, only to shatter into blue specks the instant they touched the mysterious man's cloak. "Little octopus of the Cloud Village, the shadow beneath the mysterious man's cloak swirls with patterns; your wedge mark is devouring the host's internal organs." The rap ninja groaned, kneeling on one knee, the black lines beneath his skin actually beginning to spread towards his heart.

Kakashi's Kamui dimension suddenly emitted a sound like shattering glass, and the fragments of the priestess's robes he had previously stored turned into purple meteors and shot towards the black hole.

He ripped off his headband with his other hand, and his bloodied Sharingan burst forth with a spatial vortex as it spun violently: Three seconds!

Sasuke!

Almost at the same time Kakashi shouted it out, Sasuke's Rinnegan had already switched to the six-tomoe form.

The Kusanagi sword, wreathed in Amaterasu's black flames, slashed towards the chain node. The shockwave generated by the collision of the sword's edge and the black flames caused all the rubble within a ten-meter radius to suspend and remain still.

Taking advantage of the moment, Naruto pressed the Rasengan against the rock wall, using the recoil to break free of his restraints. The blood on the back of his neck congealed in the air, forming the chakra veins in the shape of Kaguya.

The flow of the earth's veins has changed! Blood suddenly seeped from Hinata's Byakugan. She saw twenty-three chakra veins reorganizing around the mysterious figure, and the altar... was devouring natural energy! The girl pointed her fingertips out with a Bagua palm, attempting to shatter the forming Sage Art barrier, but the Gentle Fist chakra was transformed into dark runes the moment it touched the barrier.

Shikamaru's shadow suddenly stretched out and wrapped around the mysterious man's ankle. The Nara clan's crest glowed with an eerie light on the shadow: 30 degrees northeast, wind-attribute chakra resonance point! Temari's three-star fan responded by unleashing three tornadoes. The Sand Village's specially made wind blade sliced ​​through the barrier, and Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball slammed into the crack.

In the blinding light of the explosion, a corner of the mysterious man's cloak was finally lifted.

Kakashi's Sharingan caught the wedge-shaped mark that appeared behind the man's ear—it perfectly matched the crest of the Otsutsuki servants recorded on the Mount Myōboku stone tablet.

Before any warning could be given, the entire space was suddenly filled with a heart-pounding roar.

The game should end. The mysterious figure raised his hand and made a grasping motion, causing the nine Rinne Sharingan eyes on the floating Yin-Yang Jade to simultaneously shed tears of blood.

The star-patterned cultural formation beneath their feet turned into a dark swamp, and the gravitational field rising from the ground caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the lenses of Killer Bee's sunglasses.

Sasuke's Amaterasu black flames suddenly spiraled out of control, scorching his own sleeve.

Naruto tried to gather Sage Chakra, but discovered that natural energy was leaking out of his body's acupoints.

The Nine-Tails issued a warning growl in his consciousness space, and its three chakra tails were swallowed by the black hole as soon as they materialized.

Kakashi's Kamui vortex began to rotate in reverse, and the power of spacetime flowed uncontrollably into the mysterious man's palm.

When Temari's three-star fan completely disintegrated into iron sand, everyone saw six Truth-Seeking Balls emerge from the depths of the black hole.

They were arranged in the shape of an annihilation array, and the pressure they emitted forced Hinata to close her Byakugan.

Shikamaru's Shadow Binding Technique suddenly backfired, dragging him towards the position with the strongest gravity.

"Grab it!" Naruto flung out a golden chain formed from chakra, but it was corroded into a dark purple by the black hole the instant it touched Shikamaru's wrist.

Sasuke's Susanoo skeleton shattered as soon as half of it was formed, and the blood and tears from his Rinnegan froze into ice crystals on his cheeks.

The shadows beneath the mysterious man's cloak grew ever darker, and behind him, in the slowly unfolding spatial rift, dozens of corpses clad in white Zetsu shells could be vaguely seen floating.

Gravity suddenly increased exponentially, and the metal plates on everyone's headbands simultaneously emitted blinding sparks.

Kakashi's Sharingan finally succumbed to the pressure and began to bleed. The last thing he saw in his vision was the gray cube that appeared on the mysterious man's left hand—it was the Yomijin Decree recorded in the Six Paths Sage's scriptures.

Chapter 279 Gravitational Turbulence Reaches a Critical Point

The gravitational vortex twisted into a purplish-black halo above everyone's heads, and Shikamaru's toes had already touched the edge of the black hole.

Fragments of the metal headband traced a bright silver arc in the void, dark red Nine-Tails chakra flowed from the bulging veins on Naruto's neck, and the broken pieces of the golden chain resembled falling sparks.

The Byakugan... can last for another three seconds. Hinata's trembling voice was laced with blood and foam, and her pale purple veins throbbed wildly at her temples.

She placed Naruto's hand on her chest, and the chakra from her Gentle Fist transformed into a shimmering blue butterfly, burrowing into the boy's meridians along his chapped skin—this was the secret technique of the Hyuga main family, the Mind Transfer Puppet, which used the lifeline as a bridge to transfer chakra.
