Blowing Up the "God Tree"

Crimson light enveloped everything, turning the Uzushiogakure into a blood-red world. One misfortune after another led the Uzumaki Clan step by step into the abyss of destruction.

A cold wind howled past, Yemo's full head of red hair swayed in the wind. Looking at what was happening below, Yemo gritted his teeth. The thing he feared most had still happened.

Like the God Tree depicted at the end of an old anime, its thick roots are like chains descending from the sky. No ninja can withstand its passage; it is the source of all Chakra.

Although it cannot be confirmed yet whether that giant tree is a shrunken God Tree, one thing is beyond doubt: the giant tree that Sealing Space has an inextricable connection with the God Tree.

"If this continues, the Uzumaki Clan will probably be completely wiped out under that giant tree Kekkei Genkai families even arrive," Yemo thought to himself.

The next second, Yemo turned and left the cliff, arriving at the passage he had created on the altar. He stepped into the passage and entered the Sealing Space. There was only one way to change this situation: destroy the God Tree. Only by destroying it could everything stop.

At this point, almost all the elderly, weak, women, and children were imprisoned by the vines growing from the tree roots, and more and more Uzumaki Clan ninjas were also unable to escape their fate of being imprisoned.

Whew...

A thick tree root roared towards her. Chiyuki Uzumaki sorrow as she looked at the desolate image before her, didn't notice it at first. By the time she reacted, the thick tree root was already right in front of her.

Chiyuki Uzumaki was at a loss and instinctively took a step back. Just then, a low shout came from behind her, "Earth Release: Earth Style Wall." As soon as the words fell, a high wall rose up from the ground half a meter in front of Chiyuki Uzumaki's feet, blocking her way.

With a loud bang, the force of the tree roots was immense, and even the seemingly thick Earth Style Wall could not withstand it, exploding with a boom. However, the brief moment of obstruction was enough for Chiyuki Uzumaki to escape to the side in Body Flicker Technique.

Kosuke, who had just rescued Chiyuki, now spread his hands out of the hand Hand Seals. Chiyuki Uzumaki was the Uzumaki Clan who had just saved him. Although they had decided not to get involved in this matter anymore and to find an opportunity to leave, they could not stand idly by when something happened.

As if it possessed a spirit, the tree root escaped from Chiyuki Uzumaki and instead headed towards Yemo and Kosuke beside it.

Seeing this, Minato and Kosuke moved aside quietly, leaning against it in perfect unison. Minato whispered a reminder, "Be careful, this tree root is eerie."

Kosuke nodded slightly. Even without Minato's reminder, he had never underestimated the strange tree root.

Minato and Kosuke were being so cautious not because they were afraid of the tree root, but because the root exuded an eerie aura. The more they didn't understand it, the more cautious they became.

Those thick tree roots broke through the defenses the Uzumaki Clan ninjas used to defend against the enemy. Except for a few Uzumaki Clan like Chiyuki Uzumaki and Minato Kosuke who managed to dodge the tree root attack in time, almost all the remaining Uzumaki Clan were imprisoned.

Under the draining power of these vines, one by one, the Uzumaki Clan turned into withered corpses, completely devoid of life. No one knew how many were still alive. If these tree roots could not be stopped in time, all those imprisoned would die, their blood completely devoured by the vines, leaving them as withered corpses.

The tens of thousands of the Uzumaki Clan seemed not to have satisfied these tree roots. Drawn by the Chakra, they actually rushed towards the Kekkei Genkai clan alliance that was about to attack from not far away.

The silence didn't last long before the mournful cries echoed again. Even with their powerful Kekkei Genkai, they weren't much better off than the Uzumaki Clan ninjas when facing these strange tree roots. Once entangled by the green vines, they would lose all their strength, their Chakra would be absorbed like a tide, and they would fall unconscious. However, their blood wouldn't be lost, turning them into withered corpses.

"Break, Dance of the Bone Butterfly!"

A Kekkei Genkai Kaguya Clan, wielding two enormous bone swords several meters long, spun rapidly as he brought the swords down with a fierce slash.

The sharp bone knife easily cleaved the thick tree root in two, but before he could even show excitement on his face, the root split in two at the broken wound and grew rapidly, instantly surrounding the Kaguya Clan expert.

"Ah..."

With a roar, the Kaguya Clan's powerful member awakened his bloodline, and sharp bones emerged from his body. These thick bones easily pierced through the entangled tree roots, and with a powerful tremor, the immense force tore the entangled tree roots to shreds.

Unlike the Uzumaki Clan, these Kekkei Genkai clan ninjas, though imprisoned, are not without any power to resist. On the contrary, Uzumaki Clan ninjas completely lose their power once imprisoned, as if the tree root possesses a power specifically designed to counter the Uzumaki Clan.

For a moment, the rampaging tree roots were stopped by the Kekkei Genkai families. Putting aside the feelings of the Kekkei Genkai family alliance that thought they were about to achieve their goal, they were attacked by the strange tree roots that suddenly appeared. On the other hand, Yemo, who had re-entered the space, returned along the passage.

Kakashi, who had just finished blending all the Explosive Tag together, heard footsteps behind him and immediately looked back alertly. He saw Yemo rushing towards him, and the tension in his heart immediately eased.

Yemo had even stopped walking, he asked anxiously, "How is it? Kakashi, are you done yet?"

Seeing Yemo's anxious expression, Kakashi guessed that something must have happened and asked, "What's wrong? What's going on outside?"

Nodding, Yemo said solemnly, "Those tree roots are rampaging outside, imprisoning most of the Uzumaki Clan, and are rapidly draining their Chakra and blood. To stop this, we must destroy this giant tree in front of us as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression changed. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen outside. Suppressing his shock, Kakashi pointed to the remaining sphere containing all the Explosive Tag combined and said, "I combined four hundred Explosive Tag together, and I also covered it with a special seal. I sealed a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra within the seal. Once detonated, it will create a chain reaction..."

Yemo Teuchi Kakashi's explanation, and asked, "How powerful is it exactly? Can it destroy this tree?"

"It's incredibly powerful. Not to mention this giant tree, the entire Sacred Mountain could potentially collapse from this explosion," Kakashi, making an explosion-like gesture.

"So strong!"

Yemo was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Kakashi to create something so powerful in such a short time.

Since he was already prepared to return it, Yemo secretly Kunai a thin thread attached into the trunk of the giant tree, and then used the thread to fix the prepared super bomb to the trunk.

The passage they were in was very high, hundreds of meters above the ground, so the elders below didn't notice their movements at all.

After glancing one last time at the frantic Elder below, Yemo and Kakashi ignited the 'super bomb' and then frantically ran out through the passage. They were giving it their all, with less than five seconds left. If they couldn't escape further in time, the massive explosion could very well sweep them away.
