Chapter 654 The Divine Tree Revives

In the corner, Yakumo Kurama was drawing a picture, depicting the chapter in which Konoha was destroyed by the Divine Tree.

Ultimately, the alluring divine tree will bloom with alluring flowers and bear bright red fruit.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Sai's figure descended once more.

"Was it that voice in your head that told you to do this? Was it him who saved the Otsutsuki, and him who brought Kawaki? Was he going to feed them all to the God Tree, so that Naruto and Sasuke could eat the fruit and accelerate their growth?"

"Isn't this the only condition for victory?"

"It feels so dark."

"Victory always requires someone to sacrifice." Yakumo, like an emotionless machine, took out his paintbrush and sketched stroke after stroke, adding the illusion that the divine tree had lost.

"You're pretty scary." Sai grew up in Root. Although Lord Danzo was born with darkness, he still possessed human emotions and ambitions.

Compared to Yakumo in front of him, he was simply insignificant. If he couldn't sense that Yakumo had even a little bit of affection for Naruto, he would be even more ruthless and inhuman than the Otsutsuki.

"Besides, isn't it better to let them all live in an illusion? Konoha isn't a good place to begin with. They're indecisive and can't make decisions, constantly living in pain and internal strife, while I'm making decisions for them. Isn't that a lucky thing?"

"Okay, what you said does make some sense." Sai disappeared again. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn't refute it because he had grown up in Root.

The sky began to darken. What was blocking the sunlight? It turned out to be the leaves of the divine tree, which had broken through the sky.

Yakumo raised his head and suddenly smiled. Otsutsuki Momoshiki had been completely digested, and the Divine Tree had been completely revived!

"Finally, finally we're leaving this damn place. Aren't you happy?"

"Are you asking me?" Sai pointed to himself.

"No, I'm asking myself, hasn't it already become a part of my body?" Yakumo's smile became even more cheerful and sinister, which, combined with her ordinary face, made her look particularly eerie.

On the other side, as the Konoha ninja continued to cut the ropes to rescue people, many Konoha citizens had escaped their predicaments. However, after experiencing the joy of the illusion, many more chose to enter the Divine Tree once again.

Those who enter the illusion a second time are left unattended by those around them, as they are actively succumbing to depravity.

In the end, fewer than a hundred people remained in Konoha. Kakashi Hatake quietly leaned against a branch of the Divine Tree to rest, and Sakura, Shizune, and the others stopped interfering.

Naruto was the only one still trying his best to save more people, but he was met with even more insults in return.

At this moment, Yuan Fei was crying and calling for his mother!

Climbing up the branches of the sacred tree, he tried to pull the cloth off his mother's face, but she kept her eyes tightly closed, seemingly unwilling to wake up.

It turned out to be Kurenai Yuhi. I never expected that he would also fall into an illusion and be unable to extricate himself.

Kawaki, unsure how to offer advice, could only step forward to comfort him.

"Kawaki, I don't have a mother anymore!" Mirai turned around and threw herself into Kawaki's arms.

"Aunt Yuhi Kurenai!" No one came over. Just as they were about to cut the vines above to rescue the person.

Kakashi immediately stepped forward to stop him, shaking his head at him, "It's your choice. She's already had enough to do."

"But..." Just then, Naruto suddenly remembered that his wife was still at home, so he quickly rushed home.

But the original thief had long been crushed to pieces by the foundation, the once beautiful garden had been completely flattened, and two small cocoons were hanging on the tree. With the partition vines down, they were his cat and dog.

"Ino, Ino, where are you?" he shouted, but he could not find the other cocoons.

Just then, two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the crevice in the rock. Both of them were limping, clearly due to the protruding vines causing them some serious injuries.

It was Ino and Hanabi.

Naruto rushed over and hugged him tightly. "You scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you!"

Finally, he released his bewildered wife, straightened her disheveled hair, and wiped the dust off her face.

"You really, you really scared me."

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..." Ino hugged her again, responding to him for the first time.

Suddenly, Yamanaka Ino bent over and gagged.

"Ino, where are you hurt? Don't scare me!" Naruto was extremely nervous. He wasn't a medical ninja and couldn't find out what was wrong, so he immediately picked up Ino, tucked Hanabi under his arm, and ran towards the meeting point.

"Sakura, Sakura, come quick! Ino is injured, I don't know how or where."

Naruto quickly pushed Ino Yamanaka in front of Sakura, urging him to check on her immediately.

Upon hearing that her friend was injured, Sakura was very nervous. However, after checking her over, she found that apart from twisting her ankle, she had no other injuries or internal organs.

"You're not injured, don't worry."

"How could that be? She was nauseous and dry heaving, and she said she felt unwell."

"Is it possible that she's pregnant?"

"I'm pregnant? I'm going to be a dad!" Naruto was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud, silly laughter.

Then he hugged Ino tightly, saying, "I'm going to be a dad!"

But after his initial joy, he quickly put away his smile.

The divine tree couldn't have erupted for no reason; he had to find out the truth behind its eruption as soon as possible.

So he entrusted Ino to Sakura's care and hurriedly headed towards the core of the Divine Tree.

When he arrived there, he discovered that Sasuke was facing the Divine Tree, looking up at the most beautiful red flower at the very top of the tree.

"Sa...Sasuke, how could it be you? You did all this!" Naruto stepped forward and asked, hoping for the right answer.

But Sasuke turned his head and said, "It was indeed me. I fed Momoshiki Otsutsuki to the God Tree, and he did recover. However, he still lacks energy, the energy for the fruit to ripen."

"Run! Naruto, he's got his eye on me!" The Nine-Tails inside his stomach roared, its fur standing on end.

"No, Kurama, Sasuke isn't that kind of person."

But before he could finish speaking, Sasuke said, "Naruto, the Nine-Tails is no longer of much use to you. Why not offer it to the Divine Tree sooner to complete it?"

Yes, he had long disliked the Nine-Tails.

Why is it occupying Naruto's body but doing nothing?

Moreover, they had already secretly learned the resurrection technology, and with him around, he wouldn't let anyone else get hurt.

"What did he say? He's gone mad, that evil Uchiha..."

"Sasuke, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy?" Naruto couldn't believe that Sasuke would say such a thing.

"I'm not crazy. Once you've started something, you have to see it through to the end!"
