God Tree (chapter)

Summary
Having manifested the Ten-Tails, whose stomach begins to open up, Obito mulls over his next step before removing the barrier as the beast transforms into a giant tree. The tree stretches its roots and grabs hold of the shinobi, absorbing their chakra cloaks and their own chakra, leaving them emaciated, and causing many to panic at that predicament. As Madara and Hashirama continue their battle, the Uchiha reveals the history of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the God Tree, the fruit that it bore, and how chakra became a weapon for man to use as written on the Naka Shrine. He also noted that once the flower bloomed, the eye within it would be reflected onto the moon, completing the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and that the one who would complete the plan is himself. Meanwhile, as Naruto tries to escape the clutches of the tree, Tobirama slices through the branches, but they start to regenerate. Calling out to Minato, the Fourth exclaims to Tobirama that he doesn't have enough chakra to teleport to Naruto. As Naruto's chakra begins to wane, Hiruzen arrives in the nick of time, and after apologising for being late, destroys the branches with the adamantine staff allowing Tobirama to teleport them all to safety. As Naruto looks around in anguish at his comrades, Obito tells them all to simply give in, as their suffering would end soon as the flower atop the tree begins to slowly open.
