Trees Chapter 310 Kakashi, Long Time No See

"Shinra Tensei!!"

Deva Path Pain raised his head and unleashed his ultimate technique, repelling all the monsters in front of him.

"Damn it!"

"What the hell are these things?!"

After Tobirama released a Water Release Ninjutsu, he found that the Ninjutsu could not cause any damage to the monsters at all. He nearly tore out his own white hair in frustration, unable to figure out how to kill them.

Not only did Ninjutsu have no effect, but Taijutsu didn’t work either.

There are even Shinobi who specialize in Genjutsu trying to cast Genjutsu on the monsters...

But they ended up getting corrupted themselves, their bodies sprouting eerie red hair.

"Tobirama! Take the others and retreat!"

"Nagato and I will stay here to buy you some time!"

Hashirama swung his arm, summoning a massive wave of Wood Release to blast the monsters away while urgently ordering Tobirama to evacuate.

He had finally realized...

Aside from himself and Nagato, none of the others here had the power to even touch these creatures.

If this kept up...

Hashirama was deeply worried that the remaining fighters would gradually be assimilated by the monsters.

"Kakashi!"

"Are you done testing yet?!"

Nagato, who is hiding in the rear, shouted at Kakashi beside him.

He had previously asked Kakashi if he could recreate what he did during the puppet crisis and sucked these monsters into the Kamui Dimension first.

But the answer he got was...

Kakashi said his connection to Kamui Dimension had been severed.

"Sorry..."

"Kamui still isn’t working."

Kakashi sighed. His Mangekyo Sharingan had been shrouded in a dark energy since earlier, completely sealing its abilities.

"Shodaime..."

At this time, Hiruzen stepped forward with a grave expression.

After staring at the red-haired monsters for a long time, he suddenly realized the core issue behind this disaster.

The source of these monsters...

Might not be due to a flaw in Nagato’s Forbidden Technique.

But rather, their repeated resurrection of the dead had provoked some unknown existence.

‘I knew it!!’

‘Naruto shouldn’t have messed around like this!!’

After a moment of contemplation, Sandaime addressed everyone.

"These monsters... are likely from the Pure Land."

"Bringing back the dead so frequently was never without consequences."

"Perhaps... from now on..."

"We won’t be able to revive the deceased anymore."

"And the Impure World Reincarnation... may no longer be usable."

Nagato was slightly stunned, and his face immediately fell.

‘Damn it!’

‘I haven't even brought Yahiko back yet!!’

"Konan, you should leave and return to the base first..."

Seeing the increasing number of red-haired monsters around them, Nagato took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself for death.

He understood clearly...

This time, he is going to die, and he will never be able to be resurrected like before.

"No!"

"I’m not leaving!"

Konan had also heard Hiruzen’s words.

In the past, she had allowed Nagato to act recklessly because they had Ichigo’s special items as a safety net.

But now, those things...

Not only didn’t work on the dead, but they also turned the deceased into those evil red-haired monsters.

She couldn’t possibly leave Nagato here alone.

"Tsuna-chan!"

"Get the other Jonin out of here!"

After Hashirama finished speaking, he summoned the Buddha statue once more, swinging its colossal arms to smash the monsters.

Tsunade ignored her grandfather’s words, and instead frantically called a certain blond’s number on her phone.

“Damn it!”

"Why does this brat always disappear at the worst possible times?!"

Tsunade knew that the only one who might have the power to deal with these monsters right now was Naruto.

"Give me a little more time!"

"I still have a way!"

Shino, who controlled the bugs, said to the Hokage around him with a tired look on his face.

Through his senses, he could feel his silver nano-bugs slowly adapting to the monsters.

Moreover, Shino had discovered something...

These creatures were pure spiritual entities.

And currently, the Shinobi World had no means to counter such a force.

Unless...

He was given time for his insects to evolve.

The red-haired monsters, facing Hashirama's attacks, were far more composed than before.

Some even broke through the defensive line, launching direct assaults on the group.

“Roar—”

Hundreds of monsters roared in unison, and in the next second, every shinobi felt their Chakra grow sluggish.

“What the hell!!”

Nagato recognized this familiar sensation, and instantly recalled the Jashin summoned by Hidan in Amegakure...

‘It seemed...’

‘That thing also possessed the same ability!’

And now, recalling that these monsters also had mental shockwave attacks...

It was exactly the same as back then!!

“Hidan!!”

"It's that damn Hidan!"

Nagato lost his composure, shouting as he urgently turned to Konan.

"Get Hidan here… Now!"

"These things are the Jashin! There's no way we can fight them!"

After he said that, he clasped his hands together, expending the last of his Chakra.

"Chibaku... Tensei!"

Beside him, Hashirama quickly formed hand seals, preparing a defensive Ninjutsu to block the monsters' assault.

But...

After prolonged combat, these red-haired monsters seemed to have gained intelligence.

The moment they sensed the surge of powerful Chakra, they all roared in unison.

“Roar…”

In an instant, an overwhelming tide of whispers flooded the minds of everyone present.

As a result, Nagato and Hashirama's techniques were interrupted mid-cast, and the two of them vomited large mouthfuls of blood violently.

As everyone clutched their heads in agony, they could only feel death creeping closer.

“Damn it!”

"Is the world really going to be destroyed by these red-haired monsters?!"

Tobirama barely held back the urge to vomit blood, his voice hoarse with frustration.

"Whatever. It is what it is."

Tsunade pulled out a small flask of liquor from her clothes, unscrewed the cap, and drank it calmly.

She had fully embraced the ‘giving up’ mindset.

At this moment, in everyone's sight, the world seemed to slow down.

Watching the monsters lunge toward them, their minds began replaying their lives like a final montage.

A single thought echoed in their hearts:

‘The world...’

‘Is doomed.’

Ding-ling-ling…

Suddenly, a clear, melodious chime of wind bells rang across the battlefield.

At first, everyone thought they were hallucinating, but in the next second, the voice of a young girl rang in everyone's ears.

"Proud children of heaven, iron-clad walls, dragons' march, lions' roar, tigers' fury, wolves' charge—before the collapse, sever heaven and earth..."

"Bakudo #81: Danku!"

A girl's figure flickered like a ghost into the midst of the crowd.

As her incantation concluded, a transparent barrier materialized above them, repelling the red-haired monsters with a shockwave.

The girl wore a black shihakusho, her vibrant crimson hair making Kakashi briefly mistake her for his sensei's wife, Kushina.

But when he saw the katana on the girl's waist, he instinctively shouted…

"The Queen of Roran!?"

"Sara???"

When Sara heard her name being called, she turned and glanced at Kakashi, raising a hand in greeting.

"Yo, Kakashi. Long time no see."

Kakashi stared at the girl in shock, but before he could ask anything, the voice of breaking through the air rang in his ears again.

Whoosh, whoosh…

"Everyone..."

"Are we... too late?"
