Chapter 540 The Tree That Rifts the Sky

Chapter 540 The Tree That Rifts the Sky

As the entire village was dragged into the depths of the rocky sphere, darkness enveloped them from all sides.

The emergency backup power supply was quickly activated, and some faint light appeared throughout Konoha Village.

Most of the residents of Konoha headquarters were able to maintain basic composure, but the people who were evacuated from the stadium area were different.

Having experienced meteorite strikes and pollen poisoning in succession, the psychological pressure on these ordinary people has reached its limit.

The rock strata overhead were constantly pressing against the barrier of the Four Red Sun Formation, making muffled sounds. Even though they did not expand inwards, it still made people feel as if death was imminent.

This experience was far too cruel for them.

Even if they weren't crushed to death, to what extent could air and supplies be sustained in such a completely sealed environment?

Panic began to spread uncontrollably from ordinary people.

Fortunately, the ninjas from various villages under the Joint Affairs Bureau were also evacuated into Konoha Village.

They are professionals and know that staying calm is more important than anything else in the current situation.

They were still helping to maintain order with the assistance of representatives from the offices of the various ninja villages.

Whether as a member of the Uchiha clan, a member of the Joint Affairs Bureau, or a student who has completed his graduation exams at the Ninja Academy, Sasuke is not a Jinchuriki who needs extra care and is able to become a member who helps maintain order.

Due to the complexity of his identity, he became the person in charge of compiling the list of resettled people from various areas within the village.

Besides managing the affairs of the police department, his father also had to be on guard as a fighting force, constantly watching out for the possibility that the enemy might suddenly enter the village again.

Even if the possibility is extremely slim.

But the Uchiha clan members were not willing to gamble on that possibility.

If one had to pinpoint a reason, it would probably be that they all knew the reasons behind the current situation.

Sasuke also knew that Madara Uchiha, who had betrayed them all, had returned.

His people, his father, his brothers, his teachers—everyone had poured their hearts and souls into building it, and today, it was destroyed as easily as building blocks.

Even the village —

Sasuke arrived at the Hokage Building, where Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were placing a briefing in front of Kakashi.

There was no other way but for him; the four shadows were focused on maintaining the barrier at the four corners.

Sasuke handed in the form.

The two advisors made no attempt to conceal his presence. Over the years, under Tobirama Senju's instructions and faced with the fact that he possessed three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, they no longer judged Sasuke with the same scrutiny they would show to an ordinary Uchiha.

Xiaochun said, "The village's food and water supply will be sufficient for one to two weeks."

Yan emphasized: "Supplies are not the most urgent issue; the problem is air."

"The interior is now completely sealed off, and the total amount of air is locked in."

"The Second Generation Lord judged that once the Earth Explosion Star was fully formed, it was a sealing technique that surpassed the Four Red Yang Formation."

""

"The external rock layers not only acted as a physical barrier, but also isolated all communication."

"The Fourth Hokage has confirmed that the Flying Thunder God mark he left outside is no longer detectable."

"Our communication with other ninja villages has also been completely severed."

The two advisors succinctly explained the most pressing issue at present.

"Kakashi, the only thing that can still be transferred now is your eye technique."

Kakashi said, "However, Obito has been controlled by Madara, and the safety of the Kamui dimension remains to be confirmed."

"Kai has expended a lot of energy. He failed to break through the rock layer just now and needs to recover."

Once Kai recovers, he can try using Kamui to leave Konoha and seek help from outside.

"Kai has proven he has the ability to confront Madara head-on," Mitokado Homura said. "But that doesn't change the fact that the seal itself is stronger than we expected. If external forces can't break through, you have to make a choice."

Kakashi knew what they were talking about: using Kamui to move the most important parts of the village out first.

Even if the people at headquarters are completely unable to escape, it doesn't matter, but many people will be forced to give up.

After Kakashi made the necessary preparations, the advisors left the Hokage's office with Sasuke. They had something to inform the police department, and Sasuke was there to accompany them.

Kakashi remained alone in the Hokage's office, looking at the Hokage hat left behind by the Sixth Hokage.

If you were here, things probably wouldn't have come to this.

He thought to himself that.

Kabuto Yakushi strode in, his breathing uneven: "Itsuki, he's been summoned away again."

"When?" Kakashi asked.

Has Shuuji also encountered an unexpected and troublesome situation?

I can't just push all the village's problems onto him; I have to—

Dou replied, "Just now."

At that moment, the entire Hokage Building trembled violently. Kakashi immediately looked out the window. Had the Four Red Yang Formation been broken?!

However, the red barrier remained stable; the turbulence originated from the rock sphere that enveloped Konoha itself.

The whole world was shaking, as if something was hitting the rock ball from the outside.

Click.

A crack appeared.

Kakashi saw it through the Crimson Barrier.

The rock strata at the top of the dome are cracking, and a fissure, like lightning, splits from one end of the dome to the other, causing rocks to fall downwards.

On the edge of the fractured rock, a giant hand clung to it.

Wooden fingers. Each one thicker than the Hokage Tower. The vine-like knuckles gripped the cracks, and with a burst of strength, tore the rock shell apart piece by piece.

The second hand reaches in from the other side of the crack, grips tightly, and applies force in the same way.

The rock crust was torn open.

Shattered boulders surged outside the barrier of the Four Red Sun Formation, and long-awaited sunlight poured in through the torn cracks.

The light fell on the corners that the emergency lights couldn't reach, on the backs of the hands of those who were hugging their knees on the ground, and on the eyes of the children who were looking up.

In the center of the rift, the giant that tore open the planet Earth-Exploding Star lowered its head.

Kakashi originally thought that nothing was taller than Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.

But what he saw before him exceeded his expectations.

The wooden body had no armor, no swords, only twisted vines forming the torso and limbs.

The giant swung his fists, pounding them repeatedly against the edge of the breach. The rock shell continued to crumble under the heavy blows, and the cracks widened.

Then Kakashi saw that figure.

Standing atop the giant's head is that tiny, familiar point.

Kakashi emerged from his sorrow and found that the corners of his mouth had unknowingly turned up in a smile.

"—You always can't help but create a big scene."

The giant's fists did not stop. The gravitational structure of the planet Earthshattering Star completely lost its balance under the heavy blows. The rock layers surrounding the village began to disintegrate, and huge rocks floated outwards in weightlessness.

As Konoha Village fell, Kakashi was no longer worried. He spoke to Kabuto, who had also come to his side.

"Our Hokage still loves to surprise us."

"Right, Kabuto?"

They gazed at the colossal statue that was tearing the sky apart.

"Yes, Director Hatake."
