Wait, Who's Supposed to Be Protecting Konoha?

[Body Switch Technique]—Activate!

Sasuke instantly activated the Body Switch Technique, swapping places with a leaf outside the edge of the village while carrying Himawari, and teleporting a thousand meters away.

Then he opened another space-time portal, preparing to escape.

But the next second,

a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal opened right where Sasuke's circular portal was. It was faster and larger, directly nullifying and disrupting Sasuke's portal.

Kaguya was no Isshiki. Her Yomotsu Hirasaka was an even higher-level space-time ability, and could even connect directly to other planets to project the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Using it to interrupt a Rinnegan portal was naturally even easier.

At the same time,

the Divine Tree World Birth Kaguya had unleashed began to roar. Huge gray-green wooden vines surged out of the ground, like earth dragons turning over, and tore the entire village of Konoha to pieces in an instant.

Then hundreds of thousands of soft, bandage-like strips of wood shot out from the vines, lunging at every living Konoha villager like nimble eels.

They wrapped around the villagers one by one and hung them from the vines, turning them into chakra blood bags as they greedily sucked them dry.

Although Kaguya hadn't cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi,

some of the Konoha ninja could still fight back, tearing apart and cutting through the strips of wood aimed at them. But against Wood Style at the Six Paths Level, with countless wooden tendrils attacking from every direction, their eventual defeat was only a matter of time.

Seeing this,

Sasuke's pupils contracted.

How monstrous!

Sasuke had never expected his opponent to use the Divine Tree World Birth to devour all of Konoha!

Then again,

they'd already gone mad enough to try to destroy the entire Ninja World with the moon. Compared to that, devouring all the villagers
