TUS Chapter 336: Gramps Unleashed
🕑 Added 2025-04-15 19:57:09 +0000 UTC“Pff!”
A thread-thin strike slashed downward.
It cut deep—
So deep it nearly split the giant Buddha in half.
The cut extended for hundreds of meters!
But—
It was still not enough to hit the masked man.
He moved fluidly through the Buddha’s body as if swimming through water, emerging unscathed on the other side.
“Hehehe… I wonder… what does it actually feel like to take a dump?”
The masked man seemed to be seriously pondering that.
But!
The giant Buddha was already regenerating—fast.
In the blink of an eye, it had returned to peak form.
Stronger than ever.
With a roar, it launched another attack.
Over a thousand arms flailed like serpents, striking out in all directions.
“Damn it!”
Naruto yelled, as the Nine-Tails’ chakra surged through him.
Tailed Beast Bomb!
Transformed into his complete beast form, Naruto unleashed a massive Bijūdama toward the Buddha.
But the Buddha simply reached out, caught it with one hand, and—
Crushed it.
Sasuke, too, summoned his Complete Susanoo.
He fired a blazing arrow imbued with Amaterasu flames—
But the giant Buddha swatted it away like a bug.
Though the black flames clung to it, the Buddha casually sliced away the burning part of its body.
…
We can’t win!
That thought echoed in the hearts of countless shinobi.
Rinnegan Madara!
Ten-Tails Jinchūriki Obito!
The masked Wood Style wielder!
Each one stronger than the last.
And against them, the allied forces had no advantage—none at all.
“Funan!”
“Uchiha Funan!”
Even Tobirama could no longer hold back. He cursed out loud.
At a time like this—where the hell are you?
This is the battlefield!
You’re the Supreme Commander!
How can you be missing at a time like this?!
As if in response to the cries of countless shinobi—
Far away—
In a hidden underground lab, buried deep beneath the earth—
A pair of eyes suddenly snapped open.
Rinnegan.
"This feeling..."
Funan rolled his shoulders and flexed his arms, murmuring to himself, “Strong. Seriously strong.”
“I feel like I could do anything right now!”
Of course, that was probably just an illusion.
Otherwise, someone might show up and immediately teach him a harsh lesson about humility.
Let’s be real—when it came to Kaguya or the Sage of Six Paths, he likely wasn’t a match yet.
Still, the gap wasn’t as insurmountable as he'd once thought.
He was genuinely curious—just how powerful Kaguya and the Sage were?
In the original timeline, the Sage of Six Paths had split his power between Naruto and Sasuke, and the two little brats had managed to take down Kaguya.
Sure, there were some underhanded tricks in play—
Like that utterly random power-up Kakashi got…
Funan winced just thinking about it.
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, you ruthless bastard.
You really went all in just to take down your own mother.
The lengths you went to—unreal!
Still, with the power he'd given those two, they’d been able to stand toe-to-toe with Kaguya.
And now?
Funan figured that he might just be able to match her himself.
He just wasn’t sure what would happen if he went up against Hagoromo.
“Huh?”
Suddenly—
Funan's eyes narrowed.
Several of his labs had been destroyed.
He’d spent years secretly building them, all to ensure he had a quiet, secure place to undergo his final evolution.
In total, he had constructed ninety-nine labs.
Now, the majority of them were gone.
Who on earth had the time—or the nerve—to track him down right now?
The Sage, obviously.
It couldn’t be Hamura or Madara.
As for Kaguya and Black Zetsu? No chance. Those two were fully obsessed with resurrecting or being resurrected.
Everything else had taken a backseat.
“You little bastard... You really went all out, didn’t you?”
Funan chuckled coldly.
Did I dig up your family’s graves or sleep with your mother or something?
Why are you this determined to screw me over?
Back when he’d fought Madara, that old freak had interfered multiple times.
And now, during his final evolution, the Sage had sent people after him again. Who even knew what else he’d done on the battlefield?
Wouldn’t be surprising if that lunatic had gotten involved there too.
Funan stretched again, bones cracking, voice icy.
“Alright. Time to head out and see what’s going on.”
“Heh.”
[Whoosh!]
Funan vanished from the depths of his underground lab.
By the time he reappeared, he was standing in Iwagakure.
No one would have imagined that Funan had built his most hidden laboratory right under Iwagakure's nose.
After all, no matter the era, Ōnoki had always been the most openly hostile toward Konoha.
Konoha had always been his main target.
Which made it all the more ironic that Funan had chosen his backyard for a breakthrough.
“Oh, right.”
Dressed in new clothes, Funan strolled forward, getting a feel for his new power as he muttered, “If I remember correctly, there aren’t many enemies left for Konoha. Ōnoki just happens to be one of the ones who escaped. I should send some sensory-type shinobi to track him down immediately.”
Funan still respected the destructive force of Dust Release.
There was also Hiruzen and Danzo.
With the battle having gone this far, what was their current status?
With Tobirama taking the field, Funan had no doubt—they wouldn’t let him down.
...
“Huh!?”
Elsewhere, Yako had just finished released the Adamantine Sealing Chains to protect their side when she suddenly paused—
Her eyes widened in surprise and delight.
At the same moment, Zetsu struggled up from the ground beneath Obito’s feet.
“Obito, bad news—we’ve detected Uchiha Funan’s chakra!”
Obito’s expression darkened instantly.
“Where is he?” he asked coldly.
“He’s headed this way, coming from Iwagakure.”
Without hesitation, Obito turned to leave, flying toward Iwagakure’s direction.
He’d despised Funan for far too long.
Now that he finally had the strength, there was no way he’d let anyone else handle it.
This time, he’d take care of that man himself.
No mercy. No hesitation.
[Clang!]
A flash of golden light streaked through the air.
Golden chains coiled tightly around Obito’s legs. Just as he was about to take flight, he was forcibly yanked back down to the ground.
He slowly turned his head.
Yako glared at him coldly and snapped, “Trying to run? Keep dreaming! Sit tight and wait right here for our Hokage to arrive!”
“Damn right!”
A massive figure dropped down and threw a powerful punch.
[Boom!]
Obito raised his hand and casually blocked the colossal fist of the Susanoo.
Uchiha Setsuna chuckled darkly. “And you shouldn’t be underestimating us either.”
The old man had been holding back for a long time.
Because of his age—even though he’d reached Kage level and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan—Uchiha Funan still wouldn’t let him fight.
He was kept in the village.
The official reason? Defense.
To be fair, it was an incredibly important role.
Who could say their home base wasn’t vital?
Besides, the Uchiha Clan had finally produced a Hokage. Every single Uchiha wanted to protect the village with everything they had.
This was their village.
All their years of obsession, struggle, and hope—were rooted here.
And for a village like Konoha, without a few powerful Kage-level shinobi guarding it, no one would sleep easy at night.
Uchiha Setsuna was the perfect candidate.
He was powerful but still remained a hidden trump card.
A respected elder of the clan—and Funan’s own grandfather—Setsuna had the authority to keep even the unruliest Uchiha in line.
He was the ideal choice.
And so, time after time, he was assigned to protect the village—while the others went off on missions.
He could only watch with longing.
Even that old bastard Uchiha Sōji had already gone out gallivanting across the world, even launched an assault on the Land of Iron.
And Setsuna? Still stuck at home, just watching—again and again.
As a battle-hardened Uchiha with a warrior’s heart, he was ready to explode from frustration.
But now? The final battle was here!
And at last—his moment had come.
He could already imagine it—those young shinobi, wide-eyed with shock as they saw Elder Setsuna, fully clad in his Susanoo, striding onto the battlefield.
Sure, there were a few too many Susanoo around today. They kinda stole his spotlight.
But still!
Nothing could extinguish the fiery spirit burning in Elder Setsuna’s heart.
Which is why he was throwing himself into the fight with particular enthusiasm.
“Get down!”
The old man roared, leapt high with his Susanoo, and came crashing down on Obito with another savage punch.
[Boom!]
Obito blocked it, but the overwhelming force still sent him plummeting to the ground.
A cold gleam flickered in Obito’s eyes.
[Clang!]
More golden chains burst forth—Yako’s Adamantine Sealing Chains.
They coiled again and again, layer after layer, tightly binding Obito in place.
“Amaterasu!”
Itachi and Sasuke shouted in unison.
Black flames erupted, engulfing Obito in their deadly blaze.
His expression remained cold. With a sudden surge of strength—
[Crash!]
In an instant—
The chains snapped.
The black flames vanished.
[Whoosh!]
Minato appeared behind Obito, forming a Rasengan in his palm.
With a flick of his staff, Obito shattered the Rasengan—along with Minato’s entire arm.
“Ugh—!”
Minato grunted and used Flying Thunder God to retreat.
“Tailed Beast Bomb!”
Someone launched a Tailed Beast Bomb—but Obito effortlessly caught it.
The Truth-Seeking Orb in his hand barely made contact.
And the Tailed Beast Bomb disintegrated instantly.
More and more shinobi arrived, forming hand signs.
One after another, elemental jutsu burst forth—
“Fire Release…”
“Water Release…”
“Earth Release…”
“Lightning Release…”
