Kabuto Wanted to Die Together? Naruto Snuffed Out the Self-Destruction Instead!

"Boom--"

A black, high-density beam of Chakra slammed into the right-side rock wall. The ruins, six hundred meters underground, shook violently, and the hard rock layers melted and collapsed like tofu. The violent shockwave whipped up countless pieces of debris, carving a terrifying hole more than ten meters in diameter into the wall.

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, dense dark red runes lit up the depths of the void, and five thick black metal rods were stuck into the Leyline nodes, hissing and emitting red light.

"The server's right there." Naruto stomped on a rolling rock, his Pure Yang Flame surging around him, his azure eyes as cold as ice. "Karin, get to work!"

From the amplified tumor came Kabuto Yakushi's furious roar, "Madman! You actually dared to change the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Ball! You almost all ended up buried underneath!"

Naruto didn't bother with this cowardly guy at all. He quickly clasped his hands together. "Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, hold them off for thirty seconds. Don't kill them!"

The purple Susanoo from the ground, its skeleton rapidly attaching to its veins and flesh, transforming into a half-giant. Sasuke's left eye's six-pointed star spun rapidly, Amaterasu's black flames leaped on the Susanoo sword.

"Thirty seconds? Who do you think you are?" Sasuke sneered, controlling his Susanoo take a step forward, the heavy tower shield directly crashing into Minato Namikaze, who had turned into a black afterimage.

"Lightning Transmission!" Kakashi drew a dazzling lightning whip with both hands, his short silver hair whipping wildly in the wind. He stood extremely low, the lightning whip sweeping across the ground, precisely blocking Kushina's dark gold chains that were trying to strangle Naruto.

The former sharpest blade of Hidden Leaf, the avengers of the Uchiha, now work in perfect unison, as if they were one person.

Naruto rushed into the collapsing hole without looking back.

Behind him, Minato's Impure World Body went berserk once more. The Chakra network that Naruto had severed was being forcibly reconnected under Kabuto's overclocked control. The cracks on Minato's face deepened, and a blinding Rasengan condensed in his hand once more. With a flash, he appeared directly in the blind spot of Susanoo.

"Don't even think about getting past!" Sasuke swung his sword, blocking the way with black flames.

Karin was now standing in front of the pile of dark red runes. She bit her thumb hard, smearing the blood on her palm, and activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura at full power.

The red-haired girl's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. As the manager of the Uzumaki Sealing Vault, she had worn out those ancient scrolls in the past few days. With the incantation that Naruto had just shared with her through Yang Release, the array diagram in her mind instantly came together.

"Found it! There are seven fatal points in total, but this formation is connected to the Leyline of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Pulling the wrong one will cause it to explode!" Karin spoke very quickly.

"Which one is real?" Naruto asked in a deep voice.

"Slightly to the left of center, that Black Rod with the blood groove!"

The tumor inside went completely mad. "A bunch of damned insects, how dare you touch my life's work? Then let's all go to hell together!"

With this roar, the red light on the formation suddenly became dazzling.

In the center of the hall, Minato's movements abruptly halted, and then the black Chakra around his body recklessly contracted inward. He abandoned all defense, letting Kakashi's Chidori graze his left shoulder, and immediately formed the Flying Thunder God seal on the spot.

At the same time, his clothes burst open instantly, and countless black explosive tags were directly imprinted on the Impure World Reincarnation soul body!

"Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!" Kakashi's pupils constricted. "He's going to take Naruto down with him!"

Ripples spread across the space.

The next instant, Minato appeared less than half a meter behind Naruto, his specially made trident Kunai piercing straight towards Naruto's back.

There's no escaping it.

Even if they manage to dodge, Karin behind them will undoubtedly die.

Naruto had no intention of dodging at all.

He whirled around, his Yang Release Chakra erupting like magma. Five thick, golden chains burst forth from his back, whistling through the air, and wrapped directly around Minato's right hand, which was holding Kunai.

"Sizzle!"

The sharp edge of the Kunai sliced through Naruto's palm, splattering blood. But his fingers were like iron, gripping Minato's wrist tightly, letting the immense force push him backward three or four meters, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Want to detonate? Dream on!" Naruto roared, his Yang Release Chakra surging wildly along his arm towards the talisman on Minato's abdomen, forcefully suppressing the destructive energy that was about to go berserk.

However, Kabuto's scheme was extremely ruthless. The Chakra supplied by the Relay Array was endless, and although Naruto's Yang Release was powerful, it was held back by this massive amount of chakra.

At this critical juncture of stalemate...

"Jingle!"

A sickening metallic scraping sound rang out.

Three dark gold chains, like the spitting tongues of venomous snakes, pierced through the chaotic battlefield, bypassing Kakashi's defenses and heading straight for Naruto.

"Naruto, watch out!" Kakashi cried out in alarm.

Kabuto let out a piercing, sinister laugh, "Even your own mother would kill you, Naruto Uzumaki, die!"

The dark gold chains pierced down with a shrill whistling sound, tearing through the air.

However, they did not stab Naruto.

Just half an inch from Naruto's pupils, the three chains made an incredible turn, snapping and precisely binding the bright red control talisman on the back of Minato and the talisman on Kushina's own forehead.

The entire hall fell silent.

The laughter from the tumor-covered sac stopped abruptly, like a rooster being choked.

"This... this is impossible! How can a dead person escape my absolute control?!"

Two lines of bloody tears slid down Kushina's empty eyes. She was unconscious and lifeless, but this broken body, with the fierce spirit inherent in the Uzumaki Clan and her instinct to transcend life and death for her son, forcibly reversed the spell's judgment.

"Even if I go to hell, no one will touch a hair on my son's head."

That seemed to be a silent murmur.

Naruto stared at those bleeding eyes, his heart clenched, and a terrifying killing intent flashed in his own eyes.

"Karin! Sasuke! Kakashi!" He roared, a sound that shook the entire underground space.

Without any hesitation.

"Seal!" Karin slammed her palms heavily onto the Leyline node, Uzumaki Clan's unique Sealing Jutsu technique instantly spread like a spider web across the Black Rod with its blood groove, forcibly cutting off the underground Chakra supply.

"Chidori Sharp Spear!" Sasuke leaped from the sky, the dazzling lightning in his hand transforming into a ten-meter-long blade, wrapped in Amaterasu's black flames, piercing through the outer protective barrier of the formation from above.

"Kamui!" Kakashi's left Mangekyo Sharingan spun wildly, his gaze fixed on the core Black Rod. Space twisted and folded in an instant.

"Snap!"

With a crisp snapping sound, the Black Rod that served as the core of the server was twisted into a pretzel by Kamui, then sucked into the alternate dimension and disappeared completely.

The moment the core support was lost, the dark red runes covering the wall dimmed layer by layer, like light bulbs that had lost power.

The raging Chakra storm in the hall suddenly subsided.

The terrifying array of Explosive Tag on Minato's abdomen lost its power supply and dissipated as ordinary ink.

The dark gold chains wrapped around their heads tightened suddenly, tearing the two control talismans symbolizing enslavement and humiliation to shreds with a "bang."

All constraints crumbled completely at this moment.

Minato and Kushina's previously stiff bodies went limp, and they both collapsed onto the waterlogged ground. The grayish-white cracks on their faces began to peel away, revealing their original features.

The empty, Impure World Reincarnation eyes finally regained their former clarity.

Minato looked at his wrist, which Naruto was gripping tightly, then at that familiar yet unfamiliar young face, and smiled gently.

"Well done, Naruto."

Kushina didn't speak; she simply reached out and gently touched Naruto Kunai. This time, her hand didn't go through his skin. The cool touch brought tears to Naruto's eyes.

"Let's go back." Naruto took their hands in his, his palms radiating warm, Pure Yang Chakra. "This place is too filthy. After this battle, I'll take you back to a new home."

A specially made golden sealing scroll unfurled in mid-air.

Their bodies transformed into countless tiny specks of light, like Fire Fly on a summer night, swirling and surging into the scroll.

As the light faded, only a mess remained in the underground hall, along with three companions panting heavily.

Naruto bent down, picked up the scroll, carefully put it into his ninja tool pouch, and patted his chest vigorously.

"Boom!"

Before they could even catch their breath, the entire underground space began to shake violently again. This time, it was more intense than ever before.

The tumor on the wall suddenly swelled violently, and countless blood vessels burst from its surface.

Kabuto's extremely weak, yet morbidly crazed voice came through the gaps. "Naruto Uzumaki... you think you've won just by destroying the Relay Array? How naive..."

"The Chakra Golem was severed from the golem... has all been poured back into that most perfect body..."

"He... is fully awake..."

The tumor exploded with a "bang" into a pool of black blood.

At the same time, Karin's face turned deathly pale. She suddenly clutched her chest, vomited a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to her knees.

"Karin!" Sasuke stepped forward and helped her up.

"North..." Karin looked up, her eyes filled with unprecedented fear, her voice trembling, "Naruto, there's a Chakra to the north... no, it's not Chakra anymore..."

"It was like... the whole sky collapsed!"

Naruto suddenly looked up at the dome.

His gaze seemed to pierce through six hundred meters of rock. In his perception, far away in the direction of the East Valley Fortress, a destructive pressure powerful enough to change the color of heaven and earth was like an ancient god slowly opening its eyes.

Madara Uchiha is about to get serious.
