As soon as the God Tree was summoned, its massive root system—which had once stretched across the entire shinobi world—immediately resonated with the tree itself!
The chakra buried deep within the earth was devoured by the roots and continuously transferred to the God Tree as energy!
Moreover, countless roots tore through the surface of the soil like octopus tentacles, slithering their way toward the crowd.
In this first wave of assault, more than one-fifth of the Allied Forces were captured by the roots and began having their chakra drained.
"Aaah! My chakra is being sucked away!"
"Damn it! Is this really how I die—drained by some monster like this? How infuriating!"
Amidst these cries filled with anger and despair, the God Tree suddenly halted its chakra absorption, flinging the captured members of the Allied Forces aside. It even waved its roots in a human-like gesture of disgust!
"Just like how the Preta Path absorbed Naruto's Sage Chakra in the original Naruto series and had a bad reaction," Seiki thought to himself, "this must be the same situation. However, the God Tree's sheer size is far beyond the Preta Path; even after absorbing so much Sage Chakra at once, it only feels slight discomfort and nausea."
In truth, Seiki wasn't surprised at all by this discovery.
If the God Tree could directly absorb natural energy, the Otsutsuki wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to spread chakra across the world, nor would they have failed to use even a single Sage Art!
"Still, the God Tree's ability to devour everything is truly terrifying. If it ends up not just producing a fruit, but using the absorbed chakra itself, it will become a disaster even greater than the Otsutsuki!"
In Seiki's eyes, the relationship between the Otsutsuki and the God Tree was somewhat like humans and robots in the sci-fi future he remembered.
The God Tree was the most convenient tool in the Otsutsuki's hands—like a robot—controlled via the Rinnegan. But what if one day, a God Tree managed to break free from the Rinnegan's control...
"Even the God Tree can't absorb their Sage Chakra?" Obito frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed his expression. "It doesn't matter anyway. As long as it can recover all the scattered chakra across the world, their tiny amount of chakra is utterly worthless!"
The Allied Forces also regained their composure after the initial panic and launched wave after wave of Sage Arts at Obito and the God Tree.
However, not a single attack even singed the God Tree.
Not only that, but the gradually blooming flower atop the tree gathered energy and eventually fired a massive Tailed Beast Ball toward the Allied Forces!
The more perceptive the ninja, the more they could sense the terrifying power contained within that Tailed Beast Ball!
"Damn it! An attack at this level..." Tobirama muttered under his breath before swiftly redirecting the enormous Tailed Beast Ball into the ocean. Even so, the shockwave radiating from the sea still blew many people away.
While dodging the attacks, Obito mocked, "Give it up. Your strength is utterly incapable of stopping the God Tree!"
"Stopping you is no different!" The Raikage, serving as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, roared, "Focus all attacks on him!"
[Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands]
[Cursed Seal - Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi]
Hashirama's Senju statue and Sasuke's Susanoo led the frontal assault, chasing after Obito like swatting a fly.
[Cursed Seal: Five Elements - Great Blast Bullet Technique!]
[Cursed Seal: Water Release - Hard Spiraling Water Blade!]
[Cursed Seal: Lightning Release - Thunder God Level - Horizontal Strike!]
The Kage-level fighters provided support, launching side attacks and blocking Obito's escape routes!
With Sage Chakra-enhanced attacks coming in, the Truth-Seeking Balls lost much of their deterrent power, and Obito could no longer ignore the combined assault of the group.
"Hmph! You guys actually found a little opportunity. However, from now on, I won't give you any hope anymore!" Obito spouted arrogant remarks, crossing his spiral arms as a strange long sword resembling DNA appeared in his hand.
"This sword is the Heart Sword that created the world—the Sword of Nunoboko! And I will use it to destroy this world!"
Saying that, Obito swung the Sword of Nunoboko toward the statue.
This DNA-shaped sword might've looked weird, but its power was unstoppable.
With just one strike, it shattered over half the statue!
"Not only did it sever this part of the Great Buddha, but it also cut through its life force!" Hashirama's expression turned serious. His Wood Release nature had extremely strong vitality, not to mention it also contained Sage techniques.
By all rights, it should've regenerated fast even if it got sliced—but things didn't go that way.
While manipulating the half-destroyed statue to dodge attacks, Hashirama muttered inwardly, "No wonder this is the legendary artifact of the Sage of Six Paths that created the world!"
Sasuke drew his bow, firing a giant arrow coated with black flames and cursed seals toward Obito.
However, Obito simply swung the Sword of Nunoboko casually, slicing the arrow into nothingness!
Moreover, the other Kage also scattered in panic under the sword's overwhelming might!
After briefly turning the tide with the Sword of Nunoboko, Obito couldn't resist boasting again, "This sword represents the void inside me. Now, you should be able to understand my pain just a little, right?"
"It truly is mighty—the sword of the heart!" Seiki observed from a distance. "In the original trajectory, Naruto convinced him with words, causing his heart to waver and his resolve to destroy the world to weaken, which made the Sword of Nunoboko shatter automatically!"
"Sure, I might not be Naruto, but shaking someone's heart isn't something only words can do!"
Thinking of this, Seiki secretly maneuvered Mizuki's body to approach stealthily.
However, as soon as Seiki started moving, Obito turned his head with a fierce expression, "Did you think I would ignore your existence? Hmph, don't even think about getting close to me!"
"So cautious? That might complicate things!" Seiki stopped moving, smiling as he asked, "By the way, you previously claimed to be a god, right?"
"Of course I'm a god!" Obito replied without hesitation.
"Good!" Seiki smiled, "Then let me help you experience a god's hardship ahead of time!"
"Ah, what did you say?" Before Obito could finish his question, countless consciousnesses suddenly surged into his mind.
"God, give me ten... no, a hundred hot girlfriends!"
"God, please end this war!"
"You damn god, can you hear me? Go to hell, you f***ing god!"
"Fuck god...!"
It felt like a billion mosquitoes were buzzing non-stop in his ears. Obito furiously grabbed his hair, even snapping off the horn on his forehead. "Aaaaaagh! I'm so annoyed! So annoyed! So annoyed!"
Seeing Obito's miserable state, Seiki felt a chill run down his spine. "Tch, watch your dramatic delusions, will you?"
Praying to god is like making a phone call. Before, the number for "god" had been disconnected, so naturally no one answered. Obito declaring himself as god is like turning a disconnected number into an active one. That's why he wasn't affected before — the connection was missing.
And now, he was the very connection, routing all those prayers straight to Obito's number!
