Trees sprang from the ground one after another, spreading across the entire battlefield in moments!
In an instant, the battlefield became a sea of trees!
Under Tsunade's control, branches stretched and writhed, attacking Ebizo and the ninja who had been holding her back.
"Dodge! Keep dodging!"
Ebizo's face darkened as he saw trees filling the sky.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, his earlier composure gone.

Tsunade abruptly changed her hand signs and completed another
