Wood Release: Flower Tree World Emergence—Konoha's Desperate Ninja, Completely Finished

After confirming that the woman Uchiha Shadian had brought along was the Rin Nohara he had longed for day and night, Obito Uchiha immediately rushed toward the battlefield. This time, he would definitely save Rin. Even if she learned of his evil deeds, he would not hesitate.

For the woman he loved, he could fall into darkness, and he could give up his life.

With the one he loved gone, there was no point in him living.

The reason he had lived until now was to avenge Rin Nohara by taking revenge on this Shinobi World.

For revenge, he had not only retaliated against Konoha, but had also secretly controlled Kirigakure's Mizukage, turning Kirigakure into a river of blood.

In his heart, no one was more important than Rin Nohara.

"Wait for me, Rin. I'll definitely take you safely away from this battlefield."

Under Uchiha Shadian's control of Sage Chakra, endless vines surged toward Konoha's ninja like a tidal wave.

"Defend! Defend!"

"Earth Release, Earth-Style Wall!"

"Water Release, Water Dragon Technique!"

"Fire Release, Fire Dragon Technique!"

"Earth Release, Underground Escape Technique!"

"Lightning Release, Blue Light Cutter!"

Facing the vines sweeping in like a tide.

The expressions of Konoha's tens of thousands of ninja changed drastically.

The range was too terrifying. There was simply no time to evade. Even if they used the Substitution Technique, their real bodies could not escape the vines' range and would still be attacked.

Therefore, against such a large-scale vine assault, they could only defend and resist.

They had to use ninjutsu to shatter or sever the incoming vines.

Only then would they have a chance of surviving.

"Hold on! Releasing Wood Release over such a vast area, Uchiha Shadian's chakra won't last long."

"As long as we endure this wave of attacks, victory will be ours."

The many ninja unleashed their strongest techniques to save their lives.

Yet many ninja still failed to dodge in time, or slipped up while evading, and were wrapped up and strangled by the vines. Endless blood flowed, staining the earth red.

Only after the vines had enveloped all the Konoha ninja did they finally stop.

A large number of ninja had survived, and they could not help showing smiles of relief after escaping death.

"We survived! That's wonderful!"

"This technique isn't all that impressive! As long as we smash the vines that reach us, we'll be fine."

"I hid deep underground just now and avoided every attack."

"Uchiha Shadian has stopped attacking. He must have run out of chakra. Now it's our turn to counterattack."

"Damn Uchiha Shadian! If we don't kill him, we're not human!"

"Let's immediately regroup and charge out to kill Uchiha Shadian."

"Lord Third Hokage, are you all right?!"

"I'm fine." Hiruzen Sarutobi carried the Golden Cudgel on his back and looked up at the vines around him, which had already stopped attacking.

The vines were enormous, blocking out the sky and sun. Looking up from underground was like gazing at a skyscraper hundreds of meters tall.

"To make vines grow to such heights... Uchiha Shadian truly is astonishing!"

"Lord Third Hokage, it's time for us to counterattack."

"Uchiha Shadian released such a large-scale ninjutsu. It must have consumed an enormous amount of chakra. While he's weak and short on chakra, we should rush out and defeat him in one go."

Shikamaru Nara walked over to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side. "Lord Third Hokage, I have a bad feeling. These trees are absorbing the chakra from the dead, and even the blood on the ground has disappeared."

"Stay alert. Uchiha Shadian should still have another move prepared."

"What is he absorbing the chakra from the dead for?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, then his expression changed sharply. "Could it be that technique?"

"This is bad! Leave this forest immediately, or it'll be too late!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted anxiously.

"What happened?"

"Leave now! Don't ask questions, or it'll be too late."

Beside the Nine-Tails, a cold smile appeared on Uchiha Shadian's face. "Die in despair!"

"Wood Release, Flower Tree World Emergence." Uchiha Shadian pressed his hands together in a seal and spoke coldly.

Driven by Uchiha Shadian's ninjutsu, enormous flower buds began to grow from the tips of countless vines.

The buds rapidly grew.

In only a short time, they bloomed.

Countless poisonous pollen grains drifted down.

They blanketed every Konoha ninja.

"The trees are flowering!"

"So beautiful."

When some Konoha ninja saw the vines bloom, they actually stopped foolishly to watch.

Might Guy, who had quickly reached the edge of the vines, saw this and instinctively sensed danger. He stopped, frowning deeply as he watched the vines blossom.

"These pollen grains are giving me an extremely bad feeling," Might Guy muttered with a frown.

"Oh no, we were still too late." Standing atop Katsuyu's head, Tsunade's face showed a bitter expression as she watched the vines release pollen across the sky.

Once the sea of flowers bloomed, the Konoha ninja trapped within the vines were doomed.

Even ninjutsu could hardly defend against this thing.

Unless someone could unleash a hurricane and blow away every vine and all the pollen together.

But clearly, no one could do that.

Perhaps Uchiha Shadian could, but why would he save them!?

"It's over... it's over. Konoha is completely finished." Tsunade staggered and sat down.

Konoha's buildings had been destroyed, but as long as Konoha's ninja remained, they could rebuild a new Konoha village.

But once everyone was dead, there would be no saving it.

"Lady Tsunade, pull yourself together! Konoha is still waiting for you to save it!"

"The sea of flowers can only numb everyone's nerves. It can't kill them directly. With your medical ninjutsu, you can definitely save everyone." Seeing Tsunade in despair, Katsuyu encouraged her.

"That's right. I'm my grandfather's eldest granddaughter. I'll definitely protect the Konoha he built."

"I need to pull myself together. I need to save everyone."

Encouraged by Katsuyu, Tsunade regained her spirit. "Katsuyu, you're immune to poison. Split into clones immediately, enter the sea of flowers, and rescue the people inside. I'm counting on you, Katsuyu."

"Lady Tsunade, I will definitely complete the mission."

Katsuyu nodded. Her enormous body immediately split into countless smaller Katsuyu, which burrowed into the sea of flowers at incredible speed.

Inside the sea of flowers.

"What's going on? Why do I feel weak all over?"

"I feel dizzy and nauseous."

"I feel weak in all four limbs too."

"What is happening?"

"There's something wrong with this pollen. It's poisonous."

"What?"

"Run! Get out of the pollen's range!"

"No, I can't hold on anymore."

One Konoha ninja after another collapsed.

"Save me! Please save me! I don't want to die."

"Someone save us!"

Desperate cries rang out without end.

Fear gripped everyone's hearts.

"It's over, it's over. We're completely finished."

"Damn it, this pollen is poisonous. It can paralyze our bodies."

"Cover your noses! We can't breathe in this pollen."

"Did anyone bring a gas mask?"

"Can someone give me a gas mask?"

"Can someone take me out of here?"

"I don't want to die!"

"Damn Uchiha Shadian! Even if I die, I'll curse you to die horribly."

"We're finished. Konoha is finished."
