Uzumaki Heaven-Sealing Formation! Even the Asura of the Old Era Could Be Bound!
The raging sea of trees devoured the ruins of the Eighth Gorge like Dotō. Every thick vine was like a living python, greedily searching for anything alive.
Obito stood atop the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, coldly observing the Allied Shinobi Forces struggling below.
"Nine-Tails brat, your Yang Release is the perfect fertilizer for these Wood Release." Obito's voice came through the distorted space.
Naruto smashed the tree trunk that had been pulled out with a single punch, and the Adamantine Sealing Chains in front of him swirled into an impenetrable golden net.
"Fertilizer my ass!" Naruto spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
But he knew Obito wasn't wrong. In the Byakugan's vision, the repulsive Hashirama face on Madara's chest was becoming more and more vivid as he used Wood Release, and it even began to automatically absorb the free Yang Release energy.
Fighting with Chakra- on is tantamount to giving this old monster a free energy boost.
"We can't go along with his rhythm." Naruto's mind raced. "Big Fox, hold back your Chakra and let's try something different!"
Inside the sealed space, Kurama grinned widely. "We should have done this a long time ago; forcing it open was too disadvantageous."
Naruto clasped his hands together abruptly, his Pure Yang Flame suddenly receding and being replaced by pure Natural Energy. The orange Sage Eyeshadow instantly appeared at the corner of his eyes.
"Karin! Hinata! Tenten! Konan!" Naruto's voice boomed directly into the four girls' minds through the mental link, "Get ready to work! Set up the 'Uzumaki Heaven-Sealing Formation'!"
"Received." Four clear voices responded in unison, without any unnecessary words.
At the edge of the distant Medical Camp, Karin bit her fingertip and slammed her hands hard into the ground. Crimson Chakra rippled out like water, instantly enveloping the entire canyon.
"I'll stabilize the flow of the Leyline; leave the array's core to me!" Karin closed her eyes, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. As the core of perception, she had to ensure that every fluctuation of Chakra on this raging battlefield wouldn't interfere with the array.
On the other side of the canyon, Hinata's eyes bulged with veins, her Pure Byakugan fixed on the two-hundred-meter-tall, Perfect Susanoo.
"The Susanoo's Chakra Cloak is extremely thick, but there must be gaps in the joints." Hinata quickly scanned the area, her pupils suddenly contracting. "Found it! The left knee, right shoulder, back of the neck, and middle of the spine—these four points are weak points where energy converges!"
She transmitted the Coordinates to Tenten and Konan with perfect accuracy.
"Leave it to me." In mid-air, Konan's paper wings unfurled, and she transformed into a shower of white paper. The paper pieces appeared chaotic in the gale, but in reality, they were like sharp scalpels, silently approaching the joints of Susanoo through the gaps in the sea of trees.
Each piece of paper contains a highly concentrated Uzumaki sealing rune.
The formation takes time, but those few seconds are enough for Madara to die a hundred times over.
"Tsunade! Uncles! Don't let him move!" Naruto shouted at the Five Kage not far away.
"Don't try to order me around!" Tsunade cursed angrily, but her actions were swift and decisive. She ripped off her tattered Hokage Haori, the light of the Strength of a Hundred Seal shining blindingly brightly.
Ōnoki, panting heavily, placed his hands on the Raikage's shoulders again. "Ah, can we still charge?"
"My Lightning Release never retreats!" The Fourth Raikage's body exploded with lightning, shattering the rock layers, and he once again transformed into a blue meteor, heading straight for the base of Susanoo.
"Lava Release: Lime Condensation Jutsu!" Terumi Mei spat out a mouthful of highly viscous lime, which directly smeared Susanoo prepared to draw its second greatsword.
Madara stood on Susanoo's forehead, coldly watching the group of shadows rushing towards him.
"An ant trying to shake a tree." Madara casually waved his hand, and the right arm of Susanoo raised a huge Chakra sword, slashing at the Raikage's waist with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.
If that sword strike landed squarely, the Raikage would definitely be cleaved in two.
"Boom!"
The ground churned violently, and countless grains of yellow sand rose from the ground, instantly solidifying into an incredibly thick shield of Absolute Defense.
Gaara, arms crossed and braced at the front, blood already spilling from his nose, declared, "I will not... let anyone die within my lines!"
The sand shield made a teeth-grinding scraping sound under the heavy blow of Susanoo's greatsword, and the sand grains shattered like glass, but it still managed to withstand the fatal attack.
"Right now! Tenten!" Naruto roared.
Tenten, who had been lurking in the ruins, had eyes as sharp as a female leopard. Instead of using an ordinary Kunai, she tore open a specially made dark gold scroll.
"Extra large, plenty!" Tenten's hands Hand Seals.
"Bang!" Four black iron nails covered with strange runes appeared out of thin air, each as thick as an arm.
Relying on his abnormal intuition about weight and trajectory, Tenten suddenly exerted force in his waist, throwing the four black nails out like heavy sniper rifle bullets.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Four deafening, crisp sounds erupted almost simultaneously.
The black nails, following the gaps in the paper that Konan had pasted, were precisely driven into the four weak points that Hinata had pointed out!
"Seal!" Konan shouted in mid-air, and all the paper pieces lurking at the Susanoo joints instantly exploded. The sealing runes, like black chains, spread rapidly along the iron nails, directly locking the Susanoo's Chakra circuits.
The massive, Perfect Susanoo suddenly froze.
"Close the net!"
Naruto stood at the center of the four nodes and slammed his hands onto the ground.
"Immortal Technique: Uzumaki Heaven-Sealing Formation!"
"Boom!"
The entire strata of the Eighth Gorge seemed to be ignited. Twelve thick, pure gold chains, each as thick as a water vat, burst forth from the ground, binding the two-hundred-meter-tall Susanoo along the four nodes that Tenten had driven into it.
The chains flowed with dense Senjutsu Chakra and Uzumaki sealing power, like twelve golden dragons, tightly binding this ancient Asura.
The blue light on Susanoo's body began to flicker violently and dim. The posture of drawing the sword was frozen in mid-air.
Even the greedy Hashirama face on Madara's chest was forced to shut its mouth by the suppressive power emanating from the chains.
A brief silence fell over the battlefield.
Thunderous cheers erupted from the Allied Shinobi Forces positions.
"Trapped!" Terumi Mei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and let out a long sigh of relief.
Ōnoki collapsed to the ground, his back aching so badly he grimaced, but a faint smile finally appeared on his old face, "These youngsters... they really dare to fight."
Naruto, however, did not laugh.
He raised his head, his Pure Byakugan fixed on the man on Susanoo's forehead.
It's too quiet.
Completely bound, Madara Uchiha neither struggled nor flew into a rage. He simply stood there quietly, letting the golden chains dig into the armor of Susanoo.
Those dark Rinnegan were looking down at Naruto.
"Perfect coordination." Madara even clapped his hands, his voice piercing through the battlefield's clamor. "Precise insight, unpredictable Paper Release, clever ninja tools, and a comprehensive sense of the entire situation. You've certainly taken the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu to a whole new level."
He slowly lowered his head, a chilling smile curving his lips.
"The Five Kage buy time, while the juniors set up a decisive attack. A perfect script."
Ban's hands suddenly formed an extremely obscure hand seal without anyone seeing it clearly.
"But haven't you made a mistake?"
Ban's voice suddenly turned cold, like a chilling wind blowing from the deepest hell.
"Do you think that I, Madara Uchiha, have dominated the Shinobi World solely because of my tough exterior?"
"Snap."
An extremely faint cracking sound rang in Naruto's ears.
Naruto's pupils contracted sharply. In the Byakugan's vision, the Chakra within the Susanoo hadn't decreased at all; instead, it was compressing wildly towards Madara's eyes in an incomprehensible way!
"No! Everyone scatter!!" Naruto roared in anguish.
But it was too late.
Madara's originally dull Rinnegan instantly erupted with a captivating purple light. The void around him twisted violently, and a terrifying wave that completely transcended the realm of physics and Ninjutsu descended with a deafening roar.
"Limbo..."
Ban's cold voice became the last echo on this battlefield.
An unseen killing intent was already pressed against Naruto's throat.
