Chapter 20: The Tree World Arrives, Konoha is Doomed (Ch 835942326)

The words of the trees were like sharp blades, continuously striking the hearts of the ninjas, greatly reducing their will to resist and making the trees’ killing even more unhindered.
After noticing this, the trees became even more aggressive and their words became more sharp.
“And there are the four families of yours, Sarutobi and Shimura! Those two families were originally just medium-sized families, and the families of Mito and Utane are even smaller families. Look at you now, your families are all very rich. Haven’t you used your power to enrich yourself over the years? Didn’t you take away the land that our Uchiha family once owned by you?”
Then, another tree asked loudly, “And Sarutobi Hiruzen, your useless son left the village without saying a word. Isn’t this a traitorous act? Why is he not considered a traitor? Give me an explanation!”
In this way, the trees counted the sins of Sarutobi Hiruzen one by one.
Strangely, the trees themselves don’t understand why they know so many secrets.
Are they the so-called Uchiha disasters?
Or did he inherit Uchiha Disaster’s memories or something like that?
The trees had no idea of ​​the exact situation, but they were certain of one thing: only by continuing to kill could they perhaps find out the real truth.
“Ahhhh!” At this moment, shrill screams rang out one after another. People were constantly ruthlessly pierced to death by the trees. Those who were lucky enough to be alive were trembling with fear.
The fear in their hearts came not only from the nightmare-like Wood Release disaster before them, but also from the terrifying methods used by the Sarutobi clan, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha high-ranking officials.
At this moment, Kakashi slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen, and questioned, “My father did die from rumors. At the beginning, that teammate gave up the mission, and I didn’t say anything when I saw him then. But later, for some reason, it was suddenly rumored that the mission failed because of my father, and all the faults were attributed to my father!”
Kakashi gritted his teeth, his eyes full of grief and anger, “Not long after, that man died in the mission. Tell me, what happened behind this? Was it Danzo who did it, or you? Or did you plan it together?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face was full of disbelief. He never expected that Kakashi had completely lost trust in him.
“How should I explain this?” Sarutobi Hiruzen had a splitting headache at the moment and was completely at a loss.
He saw the trees coming at him ferociously like vicious beasts. His mind was in a mess, his hands and feet seemed to be frozen, and he didn’t know how to fight back.
The Anbu members around him were ruthlessly stabbed to death by tree trunks one after another. The scene was horrific and bloody.
At this moment, some root elites from other directions hurriedly gathered here.
More and more ninjas gathered.
Danzo’s eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, “Sarutobi, stop talking nonsense and fight these trees!”
At this moment, the trees seemed to have consciousness and laughed wildly, “We have almost killed them all. Now our strength is comparable to that of Senju Hashirama.”
Another tree said loudly: “That’s right, since Konoha was jointly founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans, then today, the Uchiha and Senju clans should use their abilities to destroy everything. This is only natural!”
As he was talking, Aburame Tone came up to Danzo and said anxiously, “Sir, let’s get out of here!”
However, the next second, a roar suddenly came from deep in the earth: “I have finally arrived, I am the tree world.”
——Wood Release: The World of Trees Arrives!
This was originally a ninjutsu developed by the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, a secret wood escape technique that required one’s own chakra as the source of life to activate. But now it seemed to have become a name that carried an aura of destruction.
The ground was shaking violently, and countless trees were growing rapidly and automatically.
The trees were uprooted, there were “bang bang” sounds, and the earth shattered in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Konoha was covered by forest.
All attacks and defenses in the forest are controlled by the trees. “Swish, swish, swish”, densely packed trees instantly fill the entire space.
Even a ninja as powerful as Tone was mercilessly pierced by the trees in an instant.
“Bang!” Under the fierce bombardment and penetration of the trees, Aburame Tsuchiya was directly turned into a ball of blood mist, and no body was left.
In an instant, the hearts of the surrounding ninjas were shrouded in a thick shadow of fear.
But all this was of no avail. “Swish, swish, swish”, the ninjas were still pierced to death by the trees one after another.
The power of the tree was even stronger than before.
On the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Obito’s face was full of disbelief, and he didn’t dare to go down rashly.
Black Zetsu looked solemn, and said slowly: “Even if Hashirama Senju himself were to perform Wood Release: Tree World Advent, I’m afraid it would not be more than this.”
… “Damn it, what should I do?” At this moment, Danzo was extremely upset.
The precious Sharingan on his arm has closed, and now this is all he has left.
Fear gradually spread in Danzo’s heart like a tide. He was too scared to move forward rashly. He could only shout at the surrounding Root Ninjas and other Ninjas: “Everyone, come on! Hurry up and destroy all these trees here at all costs!”
At this moment, the entire Konoha Village was covered by dense trees.
Screams continued to be heard from every corner of the village. It was not difficult to imagine that there were both ninjas and ordinary civilians among them.
Danzo discovered in despair that he had no way to retreat. He looked around, up and down, left and right, and even underground, and was afraid that it was all filled with trees.
“Damn it! How on earth did that Uchiha Disaster create these trees? He simply created a doomsday disaster called ‘Wood Release’!”
At this moment, Nara Shikaku shouted loudly: “Everyone, now is not the time to think about these problems! No matter what the Sandaime-sama has done, we must unite as one and overcome the difficulties together!”
“Yes!” the ninjas shouted in unison.
However, Kakashi and the others remained silent.
For those ninjas who have lost trust in Konoha, how could they exert 100% of their strength without reservation for such a Konoha?
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath. He knew in his heart that after this battle, he no longer had the face to serve as Hokage.
But no matter what, he would try his best to rescue everyone in Konoha.
If I can resolve this disaster, then for Konoha, my merits will outweigh my faults.
In an instant, Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted loudly: “After today, I will resign from the position of Acting Hokage! But everyone, for Konoha, for our home, please believe in me one last time, let us work hand in hand and work together!”
After saying this, he looked firmly at the densely packed trees before him that had turned into a vast forest.
“Every ninja in Konoha possesses the will of fire! Uchiha Disaster, whether you are dead or alive, it is wishful thinking to try to destroy Konoha!” Sarutobi Hiruzen roared angrily.
However, the trees soon responded: “I said, I am not Uchiha Disaster, I am Senju Hashirama!”
Another voice echoed, “I have just revealed my identity. I am from the Tree Realm!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes widened with anger, and he shouted loudly: “Even if you are from the tree world, you will never succeed!”
Before he finished speaking, he immediately performed the Fire Release Technique together with the Konoha ninjas.
In an instant, the raging fire swept out like a surging wave, and wherever it went was like a sea of ​​​​burning fire. When the power of everyone’s fire escape was gathered together, it finally produced some effect.
But in the next second, another chilling voice came: “I have also descended, I am the Flower Tree Realm!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face changed instantly. The Flower and Tree World Descent is an upgraded version of the Wood Release: Tree World Descent, and it can only be performed by someone with the same level of power as Hashirama Senju.
This technique uses one’s own chakra as nutrients, which can make trees dormant in the land grow and become stronger rapidly.
Sure enough, “bang bang bang”, towering trees rose from the ground.
Thick branches rose from the ground, so strong that they could cut through mountains and penetrate rocks.
Even the Hokage Rock collapsed. Uchiha Obito fled with Black Zetsu in a hurry, saying in his heart: “Too horrible!”
But I saw flowers blooming among the trees. These bright flowers bloomed quickly and then released poisonous pollen.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly shouted: “Be careful with the pollen!”
However, pollen spreads very quickly and fills the entire space in an instant.
Many ninjas and civilians were unable to dodge and were directly paralyzed. Some fainted on the spot, and then their bodies were ruthlessly pierced by the trees and turned into nutrients for the trees. Some even died without knowing how they died.
