TUS Chapter 356: Can Somebody Please Kill Madara Already?
🕑 Added 2025-04-16 15:22:30 +0000 UTCSomewhere in the shadows—
A single eye, filled with panic, watched in silence.
Black Zetsu.
He had always wanted to interfere, to help Uchiha Madara fight.
Unfortunately—
He was too weak.
Besides, deep down, he also wanted to give Madara a good slap in the face.
Now, the time had finally come.
Madara had been resurrected!
He had become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails!
All Black Zetsu had to do was gently press the switch, and his beloved mother would be brought back to life.
But right now, he couldn't even touch that switch.
Moreover, thanks to Funan’s words, Black Zetsu could feel it—Madara’s body had tensed up.
His guard was up.
So how the hell was he supposed to play this game now?
Black Zetsu nearly exploded with frustration.
Uchiha Funan, you cursed bastard—may you be sliced a thousand times!
Mother... sob... this is just too much for me.
...
“Madara, stop this!”
Senju Hashirama said with a pained expression, “You can’t win this fight. Surrender. Then together, let’s build a new world.”
“Heh.”
Madara let out a cold laugh. “Hashirama, you're still just as naive. I’ve long since passed the point of no return. The only path left is forward.”
He raised his hand and violently snapped his forehead protector in half, revealing his forehead.
There—was a Rinnegan.
A very special Rinnegan.
This eye had once appeared on the trunk of the God Tree.
The moment it was revealed, the aura surrounding Madara surged even further.
Looking down coldly at everyone present, he said, “Do you all really think… you’ve got me cornered?”
“Haven’t we?” Funan said with a slight smile. “Because to me, it sure looks like you’ve already lost.”
“Then come at me!”
Madara roared.
“I’ll go first!” Hashirama shouted back, clearly angered.
“Sage Art!”
“Wood Release!”
“True Several Thousand Hands!”
[BOOM!!!]
With Hashirama unleashing his full strength, a colossal Buddha with countless arms—unlike anything ever seen before—manifested in the sky above.
“Not bad! Not bad at all, Hashirama!” Uchiha Madara laughed heartily. Suddenly, he sprang into the air, eyes locked tightly on the moon.
If brute force wouldn’t win this battle, then it was time for a new strategy.
Activate the Eye of the Moon Plan—directly!
Using the moon as a focal point to reflect his dōjutsu, he would cast Infinite Tsukuyomi over the entire Shinobi World.
“Sasuke!”
Seeing this, Funan turned his head toward Sasuke and said, “Use your dōjutsu to drag Uchiha Madara down for me. I’m going to kill that bastard.”
“Got it!”
[Whoosh!]
Sasuke vanished.
Everyone froze.
“Damn it!”
Funan growled in frustration. “I told him to swap Madara down here, so why did he disappear? What’s he trying to do?”
Where did Sasuke go?
He was right in front of Uchiha Madara.
He had tried—he couldn’t move Madara. So he’d do it himself.
There was no way he’d accept that he couldn’t take down Madara with his own hands!
Sasuke swung the Kusanagi Sword and lunged at Madara.
A Truth-Seeking Orb materialized and blocked Sasuke’s sword.
“Brat, you’ve got some nerve, showing up in front of me alone.”
Madara’s eyes were filled with disdain. A black rod appeared in his hand and stabbed toward Sasuke.
“Die!”
[Boom!]
The two clashed. Sasuke was forced back continuously, then started to fall.
Madara looked down, hesitating for a moment—should he chase him or not?
But in the end, he turned his gaze back toward the moon.
[Rumble...]
At that moment, a barrage of Tailed Beast Bombs soared up from below.
“So annoying!”
Madara’s eyes burned with irritation.
This was exactly why he wanted to take these people out first.
He was trying to cast a technique, but they kept interfering.
“You can’t stop me!”
Dodging the barrage, Madara began forming hand seals toward the moon.
Then—suddenly—a figure appeared right in front of him.
“Hey, Madara! Look here—fist the size of a cooking pot!”
[Smash!]
Madara let out a muffled grunt. His face took a direct hit and was smashed downward by the figure’s punch.
Funan!
That attack had come from him.
Madara glared at Funan in fury and shouted, “What exactly is your ability? Teleportation? Space-time? Or something else?!”
“What kind of ninja idiot would tell you their secret?”
Funan rolled his eyes hard, full of disdain.
He too began falling.
He couldn’t fly!
“Susanoo!”
[Boom!]
A massive Susanoo appeared and reached out to grab Madara.
“Get out of my way, Funan! Don’t interfere with me!”
Madara roared, pointing at Funan. “Shinra Tensei!”
At that moment, an arrow came flying—its shaft engulfed in black flames.
Sasuke’s attack!
From below!
All the shinobi capable of attacking also launched their assaults.
“Begone!”
Madara erupted in rage, unleashing Shinra Tensei with full force, repelling all the incoming attacks.
Countless pieces of paper scattered through the air.
In the end, they gathered behind Funan—
Forming a pair of wings.
“Konan?”
“This is the best support I can offer you!”
Konan’s voice came from the wings. “Explosive tags don’t work that well on this guy.”
She had transformed her own body into wings to help Funan fly.
“It’s enough!”
Funan flapped the wings and charged toward Madara.
“You bastards… Are you done yet?!”
Madara was enraged, yet helpless.
“Can’t catch him?”
Seeing that he couldn’t catch up, Funan turned to Naruto and Sasuke and said, “Can’t you two just take another nap or something?”
“Nap?”
The two looked confused, question marks practically floating above their heads.
“Yeah, don’t you guys get stronger after sleeping?”
Naruto and Sasuke: “…We can do that?”
Funan turned to Tobirama and Minato. “What about you two? Can’t you figure something out? Use Flying Thunder God! Teleport up there and kick his ass!”
“What do you expect us to do?”
Tobirama scowled. “Flying Thunder God won’t work. The coordinates we placed on Uchiha Madara have already been erased. And ever since he became a jinchūriki, we haven’t been able to tag him again.”
“Tch! Useless!”
“And what about you?” Tobirama narrowed his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re still hiding something.”
At that moment, Funan was flying ahead.
Tobirama and Minato kept pursuing him via Flying Thunder God.
Naruto and Sasuke followed closely behind.
And behind them—was Hashirama!
“There’s no other way!”
Funan let out a sigh—and finally unleashed Susanoo.
A massive complete-body Susanoo beat its wings, propelling itself forward by several hundred meters in one burst. At this rate, he’d catch up to Madara in just a few moves.
[Buzz—]
Suddenly, a meteor descended from the sky, crashing toward Funan.
[Slash!]
Funan swung his long sword and cleaved the meteor in half. Then, with a swift motion, he fired an arrow back at Madara.
Madara’s face remained expressionless—he completely ignored the attack.
A Truth-Seeking Orb floated into the air, releasing a powerful suction force.
Funan’s arrow veered off course under that gravitational pull.
The orb continued to expand.
The suction grew stronger and stronger.
Debris was being sucked in at an increasing rate.
The ground itself began to crack apart.
Trees were being ripped from their roots and drawn upward.
“Ugh!”
Even Sasuke and the others had to halt their advance.
The force was too intense—they couldn’t maintain their footing.
Madara’s gaze was cold and indifferent. He had given up on everything else, now focusing entirely on maintaining the Truth-Seeking Ball—as if dead set on pulling Funan and the others in.
Funan glared coldly at the orb.
A crimson sphere formed in Susanoo’s palm.
Yasaka Magatama!
Funan hurled it violently at the Truth-Seeking Orb.
[Buzz—]
But midway through its path, space suddenly twisted.
The next moment—a shocking scene unfolded.
The blood magatama was absorbed!
“Kamui?”
Funan recognized the jutsu instantly, frowning slightly.
Black Zetsu?
He actually dared to show up again?
He thought that after what he said to Madara earlier, Black Zetsu wouldn’t dare make another appearance.
Even Madara looked surprised.
“Black Zetsu?”
"Madara-sama!"
Black Zetsu, controlling Obito’s body, approached Madara and said, "I’m here to help you. This body won’t hold out much longer anyway."
His tone was just as calm and composed as always.
He didn’t seem the least bit worried.
Madara glanced at him, doubt flashing through his mind, and said calmly, "It doesn’t matter. With Hashirama’s cells, this body should be able to hold out until the end of the battle."
Even though it was just a Mangekyō Sharingan, Kamui’s ability was undeniably useful.
Even Madara couldn’t ignore it.
But still—
Was something off with Black Zetsu?
Madara was doubtful, though he showed no sign of it.
"Hah!"
He suddenly released chakra.
The gravitational pull of the Truth-Seeking Orb intensified.
Sasuke and the others began to lose control of their movements, slowly being pulled toward it.
"Everyone, attack together!"
Funan shouted.
"Let’s pour all our attacks into it—let that thing suck it all in!"
