Boom, boom, boom...
The earth shook violently as endless thick vines descended from the sky, breaking through the solid ground.
Shattered rocks flew, and dust billowed everywhere.
"No, this is wrong!"
"Run!"
"Don't let the Tree Vines catch you, or you'll die!"
"This thing can devour our lives!"
"Run!"
The Allied Shinobi Forces instantly fell into chaos. Everyone fled desperately to evade the Tree Vines attacking from all directions.
It wasn't that they didn't want to fight back. Even when someone managed to sever or shatter the incoming Tree Vines, more would sweep toward them the next second.
In fact, the harder the ninja fought back, the more Tree Vines attacked them.
Most of the ninja couldn't fight back at all, because these Tree Vines came from the God Tree and inherently possessed the ability to devour chakra.
In other words, the more chakra a ninja had inside them, the worse their plight. The number of Tree Vines pursuing them would exceed imagination.
As it happened, Naruto had previously shared the Nine-Tails' chakra with every ninja to save the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Now they were in trouble!
The God Tree's vines began frantically strangling the ninja carrying Nine-Tails chakra!
Only the reinforcements from the First Division and Second Division, who had just reached the main battlefield, happened to escape this calamity.

That was a blessing amid the misfortune.
There was no shortage of powerful ninja among the Allied Shinobi Forces, but they were also the Tree Vines' primary targets, so helping anyone else was out of the question.
They were already lucky if they could barely keep themselves from being strangled.
The problem was that no matter how many Tree Vines they
