Karma's Cycle

"To uphold... the will... by... self-sacrifice... silently... guarding..."

As the Reverse Four-Symbols Seal was activated and blood flowed away, even those with life force as strong as the Uzumaki Bloodline gradually lost their vitality. A strange emotion appeared in Red Moon's eyes, as if there was nostalgia and sorrow.

"You are very strong, but..."

Naraku looked at the red-haired man at his feet, who had lost all mobility, and the red light in his eyes grew increasingly eerie.

"The Stars Shift!"

The transparent circular barrier, which covered a hundred meters, rapidly contracted, shrinking to half its original size before expanding back to its initial shape.

Then the barrier dissipated, and the black blood within a hundred meters seemed to receive guidance, returning to the red-haired man's body at Naraku in the same way it had left his body.

Naraku's eyes emitted an eerie red light, and everything that had just happened seemed to flow backward. Whether it was the circular barrier or the black blood, everything that was formed vanished just as it was formed, and everything that went out returned just as it was.

After the black blood was poured back in, the red-haired man seemed to regain some of his life force, staring wide-eyed at the scene.

He activated the Reverse Four-Symbols Seal, and the lost blood returned to his body! But his body was already overburdened, and he never expected that the person in front of him could even break the Reverse Four-Symbols Seal!

"Well..."

Naraku was pale and groaned in pain. The white of his left eye was bloodshot, and blood was gushing from the corner of his eye.

Although the Dōjutsu targets a single individual, its control range is too vast, and even though the rewind time is short, it still places a tremendous burden on Naraku.

"Cough, cough... This... this is impossible..."

The red-haired man coughed up blood again. Even he, who was unparalleled in Ninjutsu, had an iron will, and was devoid of emotion, was shocked at this moment.

"Nothing is impossible. You are the last survivor of the Uzumaki. If I hadn't saved the Uzumaki back then, you wouldn't exist in this world."

Your life and strength are actually thanks to me!

Naraku activated a powerful Dōjutsu with a wide range of effects, and although he was in poor condition at the moment, he still patiently spoke to the red-haired man.

This red-haired man is the result of Naraku's actions. Back then, Naraku saved the Uzumaki Clan, allowing them to preserve their lineage and bloodline. Although they have declined somewhat compared to the past, they still exist in Konoha as a clan.

When the Uzumaki Clan first arrived in Konoha, they were like stray dogs, trembling with fear. The Third Hokage and Danzo took advantage of the Uzumaki's unstable foothold and swindled them, recruiting many talented young men into the Anbu Training Class and training them to become Anbu.

However, most of them were absorbed by Danzo's Root organization, and under Root's cruel training, these children became puppets of the Root.

If the current Uzumaki Clan were to join Root, they would at least be high-ranking members like Aburame Ryoma, not as easily manipulated as they were when they first arrived.

The progress of Root's Wood Release research was also closely related to Naraku, because the discovery of Yamato's survival made Orochimaru's previously impossible experiments possible, giving him hope.

It was this hope, coupled with subsequent research and experiments, that greatly increased the success rate of Wood Release transplantation, resulting in the unparalleled physical strength and Wood Release ninjutsu of the red-haired man before us.

The cause of Naraku's butterfly wings flapping led to this outcome. If Naraku so powerful, possessed so many secret techniques, and kept his Ninjutsu information well-hidden, he probably wouldn't have survived being ambushed repeatedly by such a powerful figure's schemes.

Naraku crouched down, spread his five fingers, and a small ball of Chakra appeared on each finger.

"Five Elements Seal!"

"The Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal!"

"Earth Clone Technique"

Naraku had mixed feelings about capturing the red-haired man alive, but since things had come to this, he didn't forget his priorities: controlling and devouring the man's body, and having his clones guard and protect him.

After using his Ninjutsu, Naraku a hand seal and activated his Sensory Ninjutsu. In the distance, some souls and Chakra clusters were locked in a fierce battle, but there were no enemies within several hundred meters of the forest.

When Naraku's perception ended, the five Earth Clone he had created also went into hiding. With all his work done, Naraku felt slightly relieved.

The red-haired man's powerful physique meant that the Five Elements Seal had limited effect on him. However, his current physical condition was sufficient to control the meager amount of Chakra within him. Combined with the Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal, the two safety locks were foolproof.

"You are the seed I planted, and now I reap the fruit! Become one with me!"

Naraku his hands together, black liquid emanating from his body, and then placed his large hand on the red-haired man's head.

"Ninja Art: Chimera Technique!"

As Naraku spoke, the jet-black liquid emanating from Naraku body quickly enveloped the red-haired man along Naraku arm.

Capturing such an unparalleled expert and a person of exceptional bloodline, even the usually composed Naraku couldn't help but show a hint of madness on his face.

The two Special Police Division teams that came to their aid were all defeated and fled into hiding after the powerful ninja who defeated them disappeared.

The three of them, working with the other four, eliminated the four masked enemies blocking their way without suffering any casualties.

Seven members of the Uchihata Police Department, outside the purple barrier, searched the massive Four Purple Flame Array with their eyes, and focused on the four masked figures who were still maintaining the Four Purple Flame Array.

"Although the purple light of the Four Violet Flames Formation somewhat obstructs vision, there seems to be no one inside?"

"The Four Violet Flames Formation... Naraku must be inside!"

"No matter what, we must see him alive or dead! We cannot allow anyone to desecrate Naraku's body!"

"Naraku must be inside, otherwise these four people wouldn't be maintaining the Four Violet Flames Formation. Break the formation, wouldn't they?"

"Be careful. The three of us were initially repelled by a powerful Wood Release ninja, but now that person has vanished without a trace. Perhaps they are hiding somewhere!"

"Let's coordinate and unleash that Ninjutsu! Even if the enemy is powerful, we'll have the strength to retaliate!"

"I noticed smoke and violent shockwaves erupting from the spot where the Wood Release ninja started. Could it be the clan leader fighting him?"

"No matter what! Break through the Four Violet Flames Formation first! There are still four enemies left, don't be careless!"

"Okay!" X6

The seven men looked at each other, nodded, and understood each other with just a glance, thanks to their long-standing cooperation as members of the squadron.

The four used their remaining Chakra to unleash Fire Style Ninjutsu, spewing it into the sky. The other three conserved their remaining Chakra, just in case.

After several fire dragons spewed large fireballs into the sky, the weather quickly changed due to the high temperature, and cumulonimbus clouds gathered.

"Great! Halfway there!"

As the weather changed, a dozen or so ninjas dressed in black robes and wearing masks rushed over from two other directions.

The elite Special Police Division from the other two directions were wiped out by these unfamiliar and powerful ninjas! Even though they were wiped out, they delayed the enemy as much as possible.

"These ninjas are strange; their Ninjutsu is powerful, unlike typical wandering ninjas!"

"No matter who they are, they are useless under the name of the Uchiha."

Despite the long and fierce battle, the seven members of the Special Police Division remained fearless in the face of their enemies. The Uchiha with their Three-Tomoe Sharingan could defeat 90% of ninjas in the Shinobi World.

With the addition of this squadron, all members are now equipped with the latest scientifically developed Chakra Armor, resulting in significant enhancements in all aspects.

Despite being outnumbered, two squads managed to defeat an enemy force several times their size and rush back to provide reinforcements. After returning to rescue, they wiped out another squad of Masked Ninja.

He even fought against a Wood Release ninja, and although he was defeated, he wasn't the kind of cannon fodder who would die in a single battle.

A member of the Special Police Division watched as the cumulonimbus clouds gradually formed and a dozen or so Masked Ninja converged and approached from afar.

"Should we break through the barrier, or kill the enemy first?"

There were two squad leaders among the seven people. One squad leader consulted with the other to discuss their opinions.

"Naraku said, 'If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both. If you save the people but lose the land, you save both.' Let's kill the enemy first!"

"Okay!" X6
