Tsunade immediately expressed her surprise.
“Wait, that's the Cloud Shadow Village's Lightning Release Ninjutsu!”
Blue electric light flashed on Orochimaru's body from time to time, obviously, that was the power of Lightning Release.
“Why is our village's Lightning Release Ninjutsu on your Orochimaru!”
The people from Cloud Shadow Village sent their regards.
“Watch your words, he is a traitor who killed our Third Hokage.”
Orochimaru naturally noticed the arrival of this group of people. Noticing the arrival of the crowd, Orochimaru directly gave up the fight with Might Guy and rushed towards the Divine Tree. Although he believed that his ability to save his life was strong, he didn't think he could beat so many people.
“He's going to escape!”
“It's okay, he's escaping in the direction of the Divine Tree.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru, who was running towards the Divine Tree, suddenly fell straight down on the sand.
“Sure enough, even Orochimaru is useless.”
“Quick, get Orochimaru out.”
Just as everyone was preparing to pull Orochimaru out, Orochimaru suddenly got up from the ground, and then darted towards the Divine Tree like a fly, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
“Why, is he okay?”
“Does this still need to be asked!”
Onoki looked angry.
“Obviously, Orochimaru and the guy controlling the Divine Tree are in cahoots!”
515. The Divine Tree Begins to Move
Are Orochimaru and the controller of the Divine Tree in cahoots? Of course, they are!
Wang Xiaoming was on the Divine Tree, concentrating on making the machine, preparing an automated sorting machine, but the Nightmare that was released had been in contact with him. The reason why those people would fall down after entering the range for a period of time was because during this time, the Nightmare was reporting to Wang Xiaoming, asking Wang Xiaoming whether these people who entered should be put to sleep.
When Orochimaru came in, the Nightmare also reported to Wang Xiaoming. Wang Xiaoming's first reaction was to let the Nightmare put the other party to sleep, but later he found out that it was Orochimaru, so he asked the Nightmare to release the other party's dream and let the other party wake up.
After all, Orochimaru was also a True Ancestor created by himself, and also someone he admired very much. He couldn't just create him and then ignore him, right?
Orochimaru, who had awakened, immediately understood Wang Xiaoming's meaning, and immediately accelerated towards the Divine Tree. Under the stunned gaze of a string of people behind him, he ran away directly, and soon came to the bottom of the Divine Tree, and then through his perception of the Progenitor as a True Ancestor, he easily knew Wang Xiaoming's approximate location, and climbed all the way up the Divine Tree.
Wang Xiaoming on the Divine Tree also stopped the work of making the sorting machine in his hands, and brought Leticia to the edge of the Divine Tree, waiting for Orochimaru to climb up.
One thing that ninjas are very good at is that they can run vertically directly on walls or trees. This leads to them climbing mountains very easily. Although the Divine Tree is thousands of meters high, for ninjas, it is just a thousand meters of flat ground.
Orochimaru's strengthened body quickly ran up. After coming up, he directly knelt on one knee in front of Wang Xiaoming.
“We meet again, Lord Xiaoming.”
“Well, we meet again, Orochimaru.”
Wang Xiaoming sat on the white plastic chair on the edge of the top of the Divine Tree, just like an old father sitting on the edge of the top of the Demon Realm Tree, looking at Orochimaru with a gentle face.
“You're not in the Country of Rice Fields researching the secret techniques carried by those Jinchuriki, why did you run to me.”
“Of course, it's because there are more interesting things here.”
Orochimaru had a smile on his face.
“This is the legendary Divine Tree planted by the Otsutsuki, what could be more interesting than this.”
Of course, there are definitely things that Orochimaru is more interested in than the Divine Tree, such as the Namikaze family in Wang Xiaoming's mouth, but it is a pity that Orochimaru understands that he cannot study the Namikaze family, so he can only settle for the next best thing and choose to study the Divine Tree, after all, this is something brought by aliens, and it is also the true meaning of the ninja progenitor, which is completely worthy of research.
“It seems you like the Divine Tree very much. If you want to study it, take advantage of this time to study it well, because after the Divine Tree bears fruit, there will be no chance to study it.”
“Of course!”
Orochimaru looked excited. The Sharingan and whatnot had completely lost their appeal to him now. Both the Divine Tree and the Namikaze family were more exciting than that Sharingan!
“I can't wait.”
Orochimaru couldn't wait to start the research. He directly took materials on the spot, cut off some branches from the Divine Tree with the Kusanagi Sword and took them to study. As for the research equipment, he brought a lot with the Sealed Familiar when he came.
The huge Divine Tree is still growing constantly by absorbing the Dragon Vein. A thousand meters is just its basic height. On top of this foundation, as long as there is enough chakra for it to absorb, it can directly continue to grow.
After Orochimaru arrived, the members of Akatsuki also arrived one after another. Just like when Orochimaru came before, when the people of Akatsuki arrived at the periphery of the Divine Tree, they immediately attracted the attention of the people of the Five Great Villages, and then a battle broke out. Considering that there were too many people in the Five Great Villages, they couldn't fight hard, so they simply fought a few times and ran away, running directly towards the Divine Tree.
Except for Uchiha Itachi, the rest of the people safely arrived at the Divine Tree and were greeted by Nagato. Although Nagato's body had improved, in front of the people of Akatsuki, he still chose to face them with a puppet.
All the people of Akatsuki had arrived, even Orochimaru, who had betrayed them before, had returned. Because Orochimaru was Wang Xiaoming's man, Nagato didn't say anything about chasing Orochimaru anymore, after all, everyone was working under Wang Xiaoming now.
The arrival of Orochimaru, the arrival of Akatsuki, and the fact that they all successfully entered the range of the Divine Tree, constantly stimulated the nerves of the Five Great Nations. The ninjas of the Five Great Villages began to be very anxious. They were very anxious, what should they do?
The longer they waited, the higher the uncertainty of the matter became, and the higher the possibility of those Jinchuriki dying. They didn't know whether the Jinchuriki had already died, and they still wanted to let their own Jinchuriki come back, but that sleep range that they didn't know how to break made them unable to approach the Divine Tree at all. That was an area that even Jiraiya, who had opened Sage Mode, couldn't enter, an area where the Raikage fell to the bottom instantly after entering. The Kage was already the highest combat power of a village, but the highest combat power in the village fell down as soon as he said he would, so how could others resist.
However, they soon no longer had such troubles, because when they were at a loss, Wang Xiaoming took the initiative to withdraw the Nightmare, so that the Nightmare did not appear for the time being. After the Nightmare disappeared, all the people who were originally asleep woke up.
“What's wrong with me?”
Jiraiya, who had woken up, had already released Sage Mode. He asked the people around him in confusion at the first time. The person next to him was Tsunade's deputy, Shizune Kato.
“Lord Jiraiya, you're awake!”
“What happened? Why am I lying here? I remember I should have gone to test the Divine Tree.”
“Yes, Lord Jiraiya, you went to test the Divine Tree, but you fell asleep after taking a few steps.”
Shizune stood up and opened the curtain of the tent.
“I'll go call Lord Tsunade.”
Jiraiya looked at Shizune leaving, with a blank expression. What was going on? How did it suddenly become like this? He was also hit? That's not right, he could have opened Sage Mode, under that kind of mode, even Uchiha couldn't have hit him silently!
Jiraiya sat up from the bed, grabbing his head in confusion, not understanding.
“Jiraiya!”
Tsunade rushed in while shouting.
“Ah, Tsunade.”
“You guy, how do you feel?”
“I feel pretty good, I slept well, I feel relaxed all over.”
“I'm not asking you this... Forget it, it's good that you're okay.”
Tsunade could also see that Jiraiya was fine at all, but the more he was fine, the more she felt something was wrong. How was this done?
Just as Tsunade was thinking, a scream suddenly came from outside.
“Lord Tsunade, it's not good, the Divine Tree is moving!”
516. Wang Xiaoming: The Era of Ninjas is About to End
At the top of the God Tree, Wang Xiaoming sat on a white plastic chair, looking down at the desert below. He had to admit, he really enjoyed this feeling of being high above. In the world of Strike the Blood, he loved staying at the top of the Keystone Gate, looking down at Itogami Island. Now, in the Naruto world, with the God Tree, Wang Xiaoming also loved being on the God Tree, looking at the land below, where he could see the camps of the Five Great Villages from afar.
Unfortunately, the edge of the Land of Wind was all desert. Although there was the forest of the Land of Fire in the distance, it was too far away to see anything.
"Lord Xiaoming, everyone has arrived."
Nagato appeared behind Wang Xiaoming, respectfully bowing his head to ask for instructions.
"Is it time to start?"
"Yes, we can start. Nagato, do as I told you before, let the power of the earth return."
"The ninjas have occupied the power of the earth for too long."
Wang Xiaoming sat on the white plastic chair and began to chant.
"The power of the earth has been abused by them, killing each other, bringing disaster and war to mankind. War, war, nothing but war."
"Humanity and the earth have had enough of the ninjas' abuse of the earth's power. This time, we will directly end the era of ninjas!"
"Yes."
After Nagato nodded, he quickly retreated and left. He went directly to the very center of the top of the God Tree, standing in the most central position. The God Tree sensed Nagato's arrival, and branches spread over, wrapping around his body, merging with him. Then, Nagato directly took control of the entire God Tree.
"Then, let's begin, God Tree, let the power of the earth return."
The reason why Nagato was willing to listen to Wang Xiaoming's orders, besides Wang Xiaoming beating him up, was that Wang Xiaoming told him that he would end the era of ninjas.
Nagato wanted to collect the tailed beasts in order to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, but Wang Xiaoming was even more ruthless, wanting to reclaim all the ninjas' chakra, directly making ninjas a thing of the past.
Nagato hadn't received much education. He only felt that the world was at war because of the existence of ninjas. He originally wanted to use his power as the strongest ninja to suppress the entire world, but Wang Xiaoming's plan was even more appealing to him. If all the chakra was gone, and there were no ninjas, then there would definitely be no more war!
He didn't know that even without ninjas, humans would still kill each other, so he believed Wang Xiaoming.
The God Tree, controlled by Nagato, suddenly began to move. Although it was a tree, in reality, the God Tree was also the Ten-Tails, the strongest and original tailed beast. It could turn into a God Tree to absorb the power of the earth and the chakra of ninjas, and it could also turn into the Ten-Tails and move around.
Of course, Nagato didn't let the God Tree completely transform into the Ten-Tails, because the power of the Dragon Vein still needed to be absorbed. However, he could let the roots of the God Tree spread out and move towards the residences of the Five Great Villages.
At this moment, Nagato transformed into a Gundam pilot, piloting the God Tree to attack the Five Great Villages.
Nagato himself was at the top of the God Tree, while his Six Paths of Pain puppets stood on the roots of the God Tree that stretched out below. Similarly, the other Akatsuki members were also on the roots, riding the roots and rushing towards the camps of the Five Great Villages.
The entire Akatsuki organization was mobilized. This time, they received an order to defeat all the ninjas of the Five Great Villages!
This was their last mission. With the Six Paths of Pain personally leading the team, and the leader personally taking the field, everyone was fearless. This group of S-rank missing-nin, the entire army was dispatched!
The people of the Five Great Villages naturally noticed their movements and immediately began to act, preparing to respond to the battle. They had clearly seen the Akatsuki members entering the range of the God Tree, and they had all had encounters with them. These S-rank missing-nin who had left the villages were all elite jonin, and some had even reached the Kage level. They had to be careful.
Fortunately, because the main combat forces had awakened, the main combat forces of the Five Great Villages had also basically recovered. Therefore, these Kage-level bosses, that is, the village chiefs of each village, directly greeted them.
However, Nagato rushed to the front, facing the village chiefs who rushed up.
"Almighty Push!"
He used an Almighty Push, directly rebounding the Raikage, who was rushing the fastest, back on the spot, rushing back at a speed faster than he had rushed over, and slammed heavily into the crowd.
"In the face of the power of God, all your resistance is futile!"
Under Nagato's control, the Deva Path continued to maintain his persona as God, and began to mock as soon as he came up.
"Go, get rid of all of them!"
"Woohoo! Let me show you my art!"
Deidara, a blonde-haired man, rushed to the front. He was the only person in the organization besides Nagato who could fly. After all, flying on a bird's body was still flying, wasn't it?
Flying in the sky, he directly dropped a piece of clay bomb on the ground.
"Art is an explosion, ha!"
For a time, a pile of bombs exploded in the crowd. People who came into contact with Deidara for the first time didn't know what type of ninjutsu Deidara used at all. Before they could react, they were hit by the bombs in an instant, injuring a group of people.
The God Tree, under Nagato's control, rushed over at the first time, and the roots wrapped around those injured ninjas, wrapping them directly, wrapping them up like mummies.
"What is that thing!"
"Be careful, don't get caught by those things!"
Although the ninjas hadn't come into contact with the God Tree, they immediately understood that they couldn't let the God Tree wrap around them. The people who came into contact with the God Tree shouted directly.
"Chakra, these things are absorbing my chakra!"
"Absorbing chakra? Then use long-range attacks directly!"
Absorbing chakra was actually not a particularly rare attack method. It was more like Samehada in Kisame's hand could absorb chakra, Akado Yoroi of Konoha could also absorb chakra, and Hashirama's Wood Release could also absorb chakra. However, these methods of absorbing ninjutsu were not impossible to overcome. You could directly use ninjutsu to attack, because the premise of them absorbing chakra was physical contact. If you didn't touch them, it would be fine.
The jonin immediately used ninjutsu to attack the roots of the God Tree. However, after a pile of ninjutsu bombarded down, the roots of the God Tree were not only not injured, but even became thicker.
This stunned the attacking jonin for a while.
Wang Xiaoming sat at the top of the God Tree, looking at the ninjas' shocked expressions with his golden eyes enhanced by curse power, with a faint smile on his face.
"The God Tree's chakra absorption doesn't just absorb chakra through contact, it can even absorb the chakra within ninjutsu. The chakra in the ninjas' bodies originally came from the God Tree. Using the power of the God Tree to attack the God Tree, there is no possibility of winning!"
In the original plot, the God Tree was fine even after being attacked so much by the ninjas. Even Hashirama Senju couldn't do anything about it. At most, he could only temporarily seal it with Sage Art. In the end, the Rinnegan solved the God Tree and split it back into the nine tailed beasts.
"It's okay, everyone pay attention to safety. We will solve these guys first, and then solve the problem of the God Tree!"
The Fourth Raikage looked at the ninjas under his command who were very difficult to deal with the God Tree, and loudly comforted them. Then, he directly activated Lightning Release Armor and rushed towards the Akatsuki group again. No matter how powerful the God Tree was, in terms of trouble, these people were definitely more troublesome. As long as these troublesome missing-nin were solved, then the God Tree could be solved.
However, this was just his wishful thinking.
"Reality is not as simple as you believe, Mr. Raikage."
"I had Nightmare unleash the Dream Domain earlier to prepare some time for the end, to prevent anyone from disturbing me, and to gather you all in one place, so that I can solve it all at once. Now that the final preparations have been completed and you have all gathered together, there is no need for me to let you play around slowly."
