"I don't believe it."
Kakashi's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
He leaned against the cold wall of the hospital, and his left eye, which was covered with gauze, felt a sharp pain, but he didn't care.
"A guy like Black Zetsu is full of lies from beginning to end. His last words are also a trap."
Sasuke did not refute.
He just used his intact right eye to glance at the operating room with a red light at the end of the corridor.
Whether it was a trap or real, it could not change the fact that they were almost wiped out.
And now, Asuma's life still hangs there.
"Asuma teacher will be fine!"
Naruto jumped down from the hospital bed. Although every muscle was protesting, he still managed to stand up straight.
"Tsunade's mother-in-law is the most powerful medical ninja, she can definitely save the teacher!"
"Idiot."
Sasuke's voice has no fluctuations.
"She can repair the body, but she cannot create life force. What Black Zetsu takes away is the foundation of Asuma."
"Then..."
Naruto wanted to refute, but found that he could not find any words.
He looked at Sasuke, and then at the silent Shikamaru at the other end of the corridor. The excitement of having just defeated a powerful enemy was completely extinguished, as if a basin of ice water had been poured from head to toe.
Shikamaru is still leaning against the wall, maintaining the same posture as a few hours ago.
Choji placed an unopened bag of potato chips at his feet, picked it up again, and then put it down again.
Ino just stayed with me quietly without speaking.
Team 10's silence is more disturbing than any noise.
Time passes minute by minute.
The only sound in the corridor was the monotonous ticking of the clock.
Every time the pointer beats, it seems to be beating everyone's heart.
Suddenly, the red light in the operating room went out.
The door opened.
Tsunade came out.
She was not wearing Hokage Sacred Robe, just a surgical gown soaked in blood.
The diamond-shaped mark that stored Chakra on her forehead had disappeared, and the deep wrinkles crawled back onto her face, making her look twenty years older in an instant.
Her steps were shaky, as if she would fall down at any moment, but she was supported by Shizune behind her.
"Tsunade mother-in-law!"
Naruto was the first to rush forward.
Shikamaru's body trembled suddenly. He seemed to be nailed to the wall, staring at Tsunade's lips, waiting for the final judgment.
Tsunade raised his head and looked around at everyone.
Her voice was extremely hoarse and full of exhaustion that could not be concealed.
"Life... saved."
Shikamaru's legs went weak, and he slid along the wall and sat on the ground.
Choji and Ino also breathed a long sigh of relief, and their eyes instantly turned red.
"Great!"
Naruto shook his fist excitedly.
"But."
Tsunade The next words let the air solidify again.
"His vitality was almost drained by Black Zetsu, and all his organs were in a state of failure. I used Hundred Healings Jutsu and Chakra to barely maintain his heartbeat."
She paused and told the cruelest reality.
"He may... never wake up. He will become a vegetative person who can only rely on Nutrient Solution and medical equipment to sustain life."
The corridor fell into silence again.
This time, it was real silence.
The little hope that had just risen was shattered by a heavier despair.
Shikamaru lowered his head and his shoulders began to shake uncontrollably.
He didn't cry, he just let out a suppressed whimper like a wounded animal.
At this moment, a Anbu member Body Flicker Technique appeared in the corridor, looking extremely panicked.
"Lord Hokage! Urgent communication! From... from the moon!"
Tsunade looked up suddenly.
Anbu members immediately unfolded a scroll, and a complex communication Cursed Mark appeared on the scroll.
Cursed Mark flashed a few times, and the anxious voice of Konan was heard, mixed with violent noises.
"...Leaf! Can you hear me?... The seal... the seal is completely... broken! She... she's out! The moon... the whole moon is collapsing! Hurry..."
Zhila!
Communication was suddenly interrupted.
Cursed Mark on the scroll instantly burned to ashes.
"What?"
Tsunade grabbed the collar of Anbu, "What did you say?!"
But there is no need to answer anymore.
A strong vibration came from under my feet, and the whole hospital was shaking.
A strange red light suddenly lit up in the night sky outside the window.
"Look outside!"
Someone let out an exclamation.
Everyone, including the wounded in the ward who could move, rushed to the window.
Then, they saw the most incredible scene in their lives.
The bright moon hanging in the night sky is... shattering.
Shocking black cracks covered the entire moon's surface like spider webs.
An ominous and heart-stopping dark red light seeped out of those cracks.
Click!
A loud noise that seemed to come from the depths of the universe clearly echoed in everyone's ears.
A fragment of the moon, the size of a small country, was peeled off from the main body, dragging a long tail flame and falling towards the unknown depths of the universe.
The entire Konoha was in panic.
Screams, cries, and the sound of buildings collapsing were mixed together, like the end of the world.
"How could..."
Kakashi looked at the disintegrating planet in the sky and murmured to himself, "Isn't Black Zetsu already dead?"
"Kill me... you just... opened the real door to hell..."
Black Zetsu's words before his death echoed crazily in Sasuke's mind.
It turns out that this is what it really means.
The existence of Black Zetsu is itself an insurance policy.
It is not only the key to resurrecting Kaguya, but also a lock that limits Kaguya in a sense.
Now, the lock has been broken by them Teuchi.
"Lord Hokage!"
Another messenger ninja rushed in, his face was bloodless.
"Reports are coming from Sealing Squads all over the village! The Spatial Coordinatess between us and the moon are distorting dramatically! Gravity... the gravity system is beginning to go haywire!"
Tsunade stood in front of the window, motionless.
She looked at the disintegrating moon, her body trembling slightly with anger and weakness.
She had just come out of a grueling operation and was exhausted both physically and mentally.
But this world was not willing to give her even a moment of breathing time.
She turned around suddenly and walked quickly to the office.
"Kakashi, Sasuke, summon all Jonin who can still move! Go maintain order and appease the people!"
"Shizune, activate the highest level evacuation plan!"
Her voice regained the dignity of Hokage, calm and decisive.
Sasuke and Kakashi immediately took orders and left.
Naruto also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Tsunade.
"You stay."
Tsunade returned to Hokage's Office and dug out the three scrolls given to her by A from the messy table.
With trembling hands, she opened the second scroll that recorded the sealing method of Kaguya.
"No... it won't..."
