Tsunade turned to Naruto. Before the words were spoken, Shikamaru's calm voice came from the door.
"Lord Hokage, it's useless to fight."
Everyone looked over. Shikamaru was already standing there at some point. Behind him were Choji and Ino with equally solemn expressions.
"Shikamaru?"
"We went to fight, only to die." Shikamaru walked to the huge map, and his eyes fell on the position of Valley of the End. "The scroll said that Sage of Six Paths brothers could not kill her, so they could only choose to seal her. What we have to do now is not to defeat her, but to repeat what Sage of Six Paths did."
"Seal?" Kakashi frowned, "Chibaku Tensei? That requires Naruto and Sasuke to have Six Paths Power at the same time, but Sasuke's Rinnegan..."
"I know." Shikamaru interrupted him, "So the plan needs to change. We have only one goal, to create an opportunity so that the hands of Naruto and Sasuke can At the same time, he encountered Kaguya's body." He looked at Sasuke, "It should be written on the scroll that the key to the seal is Six Paths Power, which represents yin and yang respectively on both of them."
Sasuke nodded. The scroll of Danzo did mention that Sage of Six Paths divided his power between his two sons, Asura and Indra. Only by combining their powers into one can the Fuinjutsu be activated.
"But Kaguya is a god." Tsunade's voice was still heavy, "She won't stand still and let us touch her."
"So, this is called war." Shikamaru's eyes sharpened, "We need to know all her abilities. Sasuke, you have Rinnegan just like her. What can you analyze from the information in the scroll?"
Sasuke was silent for a moment and began to collect his thoughts. "According to records, her Rinne Sharingan, with the Heavenly Realm, can instantly transfer herself and the people around her to other spaces. This includes five Truth-Seeking Realms of lava, ice and snow, desert, super gravity, and acid sea. This is our biggest trouble, she can easily separate Naruto from me."
"What else?"
"Yomotsu Hirasaka." Sasuke continued, "The technique of freely traveling through space can be used for surprise attacks and retreats. And, the most dangerous, All-Killing Ash Bones. A sure-kill technique that can turn the target into ashes. It cannot be defended and can only be evaded."
The air in the office is getting more and more solemn. Every ability is incomprehensible.
"It's... really troublesome." Shikamaru scratched his hair, but there was no trace of panic on his face. Instead, there was a kind of excitement of a wise man when facing a complex chess game. "In this case, our tactics must be developed around "space"."
He picked up a pen and drew several circles on the map.
"Ino, your Mind Body Transmission Technique is the key. You need to connect me with Naruto, Sasuke, and all core combatants to deliver intelligence and instructions in real time."
"Kakashi-sensei," he looked at Kakashi, "Your Kamui is also Space-Time Ninjutsu. At a critical moment, it may become a surprise weapon to break the situation."
"Naruto, you are the main attacker and the bait. You need to use all your strength to attract all Kaguya's attention."
"As for Sasuke," Shikamaru looked at him, "Your task is the most important. Before your eyes recover, you need to act as my eyes, observe everything on the battlefield, analyze Kaguya's action patterns, and find out the patterns and gaps in her use of space abilities. Even if there is only a tenth of a second of flaw, we must seize it."
Tsunade looked at the young man in front of her, who was only twenty years old, but in an instant, he set the tone for a seemingly hopeless war. She took a deep breath and suppressed all her doubts and uneasiness.
"I appoint Nara Shikamaru as the commander-in-chief of this battle." She announced to everyone, "Everyone must obey his orders unconditionally."
No one had any objections.
At this moment, an indescribable pressure enveloped the entire Konoha. This was not the oppression of Chakra, but a more original look down from a higher level of life.
The trees in the village began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye. The children running on the street suddenly lost their legs and fell to the ground. Even the ninjas felt that the Chakra in their bodies was being lost uncontrollably.
Kaguya did not come in person.
But her will has arrived.
Countless huge, white substances like tree roots burst out of the ground everywhere in Konoha. They entangled houses, overturned streets, grew crazily, and rolled towards every life that owned Chakra with clear goals.
"This is... the root of God Tree!" Kakashi's face changed drastically.
"Her nursery..." Sasuke murmured, "She wants to turn the whole world into her Chakra Fruit."
Kaguya The cold, emotionless voice, like an oracle, sounded in everyone's mind.
"My nursery... it's time to harvest."
The roots of God Tree are like giant white pythons, wreaking havoc on the streets of Konoha. They easily penetrate the walls of houses, emerge from the ground, and entangle those villagers who have no time to escape. People and ninjas. Those who were entangled could not scream, and their bodies shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chakra and their vitality were instantly drained, turning into mummies, which were then dragged into the ground by tree roots.
Panic is spreading.
"Fire Style·Great Fireball Technique!"
"Lightning Blade!"
The ninjas resisted desperately and used various ninjutsu to attack the tree roots. However, the flames could only leave a little black mark on them, and the thunder and lightning could only paralyze them briefly. Soon, more tree roots poured out from the ground, endlessly.
"Damn! These things can't be killed!" A Anbu Ninja cut off several tree roots, but was immediately surrounded by more roots and was swallowed instantly.
In Hokage's Office, Shikamaru looked at this hellish scene through the window, clenching his fists tightly.
"We can't go on like this! Everyone will be consumed to death!" Tsunade said anxiously.
"Kaguya is forcing us." Shikamaru analyzed calmly, "She is telling us in this way that delaying time is useless. She wants us to go to her home court."
"Home field?"
"Valley of the End." Sasuke interface, "That's where she came, and it's also where God Tree's energy is most concentrated. She's waiting for us there."
"Then go!" Golden Chakra in Naruto has begun to boil, "I'll smash all those tree roots!"
"No!" Shikamaru immediately stopped him, "Your power must be used on Kaguya! We have enough people to deal with these roots!"
He turned to Kakashi: "Kakashi-sensei, summon all Taijutsu and weapon-specialized ninjas, Might Guy teacher, Tenten, Rock Lee! Ninjutsu is not effective against these tree roots, but physical slashes can cut them off! Let Teacher Might Guy and the others form a commando team to cut off the trunk of the tree roots and slow down their growth!"
"Understood!"
"Choji!"
"Here!"
"Use your Expansion Jutsu to smash the biggest tree roots! Protect the shelter!"
