TUS Chapter 288: The Dead Rise Again
🕑 Added 2025-03-05 04:09:18 +0000 UTCInside the Konoha Alliance Headquarters.
Funan was sitting in the main seat.
Below him were Terumi Mei and Gaara. A little further down were Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku and Kakashi.
"Hokage-sama, when will we attack?" Jiraiya asked, "With the amount of explosive tags we have, we could just bombard them relentlessly."
"Don't be careless." Funan said lightly: "If the opponent doesn't have Orochimaru, everything will be easy. With Orochimaru, it will be difficult."
Everyone present frowned.
"Impure World Reincarnation?"
"Yes!" Funan sighed and said: "No one knows whose grave Orochimaru dug, nor how many great shinobi there are in his Reincarnation Army..."
Everyone was silent.
One of those present gritted his teeth and said: "That technique should never have existed."
Funan shook her head. "If it exists, it's because it has a reason for being. Right now it seems like a threat to the shinobi world, but perhaps, in the future, it will be the key to saving it."
Mei suddenly said: "Hokage-sama, what about the Fourth Raikage? Could he be of use to us?"
Funan understood her concern and replied, "Hardly. Kumogakure is known for its warlike ideology. Threatening it with the Raikage will not be effective. Besides, Darui has already assumed the position of Fifth Raikage."
"Then we..."
“There’s no rush.” Funan smiled confidently. “We have the advantage. We just need to wait. In the meantime, make sure there are no problems with the logistics. Fugaku, you personally take charge of overseeing this.”
"Yes!"
The meeting ended quickly, and everyone went about their tasks.
Funan looked up at the moon and frowned slightly.
The moon tonight seems to be brighter than usual.
Without knowing why, an inexplicable restlessness settled in his heart.
…
Amegakure.
Amidst the roars, the huge Ten-Tails body rose from the ground.
After absorbing the chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts, it had been activated.
As soon as it began to move, it gave a thunderous roar towards the moon, as if responding to a call.
However...
The Akatsuki members exchanged strange glances as they looked at the Ten-Tails.
Why does it feel... so weak?
Is this what they have been pursuing all along?
Deidara couldn't help himself. "I have a feeling my C-4 could blow him to pieces."
Nagato frowned and gave Obito a piercing look.
The murderous intent was not concealed!
Is this the Ten-Tails you said, who can cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi?
Are you kidding me?
I feel like I can kill him with one slap!
Obito was helpless. "Without the real tailed beasts, what did you expect?"
He also looked at Zetsu suspiciously. "Using this thing, can I really become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails?"
Zetsu was silent for a moment before replying, "Tobi, otherwise, wait a little longer."
Becoming a Jinchūriki is irreversible.
If something goes wrong, it's all over.
The key is that you may not be able to become the Ten-tailed Jinchūriki!
You are a chakra Jinchūriki!
"Alas!" Obito sighed helplessly. "There is no other option. We need the tailed beasts."
He had hoped that he could avoid a confrontation with Uchiha Funan by using this alternative method of supplanting the tailed beasts with their chakra.
But judging by the outcome... that simply wouldn't work.
Nagato stared at the Ten-Tails and said in a low voice: "It's very difficult now. Uchiha Funan is fighting against Iwagakure and others. Once we intervene, we can be considered enemies."
"So what?" Deidara scoffed and said, "It's just a matter of adding some more C-4."
"Shut up, Deidara!" Sasori snapped, then looked at Nagato. "How many shinobi has Konoha gathered?"
"Forty thousand!"
Deidara: "..."
Nagato continued, "Among them are Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Terumi Mei, and the new Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, as well as the Kazekage Gaara and Pakura..."
"There are over five hundred elite jonin, many of them no worse than an ordinary Kage."
Deidara lowered his head even further.
Faced with such a number of enemies, even Obito felt his scalp go numb.
"So what do we do now?" Konan asked quietly. "Iwagakure won't be able to take on Konoha. Should we ally with them?"
At this point, she made her position very clear.
Of course, if a confrontation actually breaks out, who she will help is really anyone's guess.
"No!" Obito rejected the idea without hesitation. "We'll wait for them to fight each other."
"When the battle is over, then we will act. No matter who wins, we will still be the third party."
"Whatever!" Nagato's expression was full of impatience.
Obito didn't dare to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, which made him very irritated.
He was a little doubtful whether the plan in the other party's mouth was true.
Even if there isn't a single beast with a real tail, he should at least try!
With that, Nagato turned around and left.
Konan followed him silently, trying to comfort him.
The other members of Akatsuki looked at each other and left one after another.
Only Obito and Zetsu remained. They both looked at each other with complicity as they watched Nagato's figure disappear into the distance, a coldness hidden in their eyes.
The space around them distorted and in an instant, they disappeared.
…
[Boom!]
With a thunderous roar, a Tailed Beast Ball was shot straight towards Iwagakure.
A gigantic barrier appeared, blocking the attack.
The final war had officially begun.
For many, this was the battle that would decide the unification of the shinobi world.
Orochimaru clasped his hands together.
One after another, coffins rose from the ground.
When the covers were opened, legendary figures from the shinobi world reappeared.
The first to appear were the elite jonin from different villages, including Kimimaro.
There were hundreds.
Then the various Kage from previous periods appeared.
The second Tsuchikage!
The third Raikage!
The fourth Kazekage!
The second Mizukage!
The third Mizukage!
The fourth Mizukage!
"Impure World Reincarnation, this damn ninjutsu again!"
The first to regain consciousness was Rasa. He gritted his teeth in fury.
"Impure World Reincarnation?"
The other Kage frowned deeply.
They didn't know what was going on.
Rasa looked at the other five Kage and spoke slowly, "I have heard stories about you. Allow me to explain what is happening."
Behind them, Orochimaru sighed as he looked at Ōnoki and the others. "Is there really no one else left?"
"No." Ōnoki replied through gritted teeth. "The First Tsuchikage did not leave behind a complete body when he died."
"The First and Second Raikage too!" Darui added coldly. "Don't say you didn't search Kumogakure for their corpses."
"Alas!" Orochimaru sighed with regret.
It would have been a sight to see all the Kage in history gathered together.
By then, the revived Kage had already understood the situation and their expressions were complex.
The Mizukage, in particular, were furious.
Three of them had been resurrected!
The worst thing was that while others would fight their enemies, they would have to fight their own people.
Only Rasa shared his fate with them. But he had been through this before and had somehow developed a tolerance for it.
"Ōnoki..." Mū stared at Ōnoki not far away.
"Sensei..." Ōnoki replied, bowing his head in respect. "Please protect the village once more."
"Of course," Mū said in a calm voice. "But the fact that Iwagakure has been pushed to this extreme..."
Although he didn't blame him directly, the disappointment in his voice made Ōnoki feel deep shame.
The third Raikage stared at Darui. "The fifth generation?"
"Yes, Third Raikage-dono." Darui hurriedly greeted him.
The third Raikage said in a low voice: "Where is the fourth generation?"
Darui said bitterly: "He was captured. He is being held prisoner in Konoha."
The Third Raikage was stunned.
Captured?!
His son, the Fourth Raikage, taken prisoner?!
Unbelievable! The first Kage to be captured alive!
"Fifth Raikage, what did you just say?!" The Third Raikage's voice was deep and heavy, like suppressed thunder, laden with extreme oppression.
Darui lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
After a brief silence, the Third Raikage asked again. "How was he captured?"
Darui replied in a low voice, "Konoha's strength was overwhelming. The Raikage joined the Tsuchikage, the Kazekage, and the Mizukage in attacking Konoha. But they were defeated, and the Raikage was captured."
"Alas!" The third Raikage sighed helplessly and turned his head to look in the direction of Konoha.
There was no need to ask any further.
"I will do my best to fight, and you should do your best too."
The Third Raikage didn't know what else to say.
The same was true for Rasa.
Looking at his son on the other side, what could he do?
With a helpless look on his face, he almost wants to bite Orochimaru to death!
Another duel between father and son.
Again and again, it's really fucking, hehe!
And then there were the Mizukage...
Only the First Mizukage had not been summoned, but the others were there.
The summit of the Mizukage!
