TUS Chapter 282: The Cost of a Tailed Beast
🕑 Added 2025-02-25 02:34:43 +0000 UTC"Calm down, Eight-Tails." Yako looked at him with a serene expression.
One after another, the golden chains continued to wrap around the Eight-Tails, leaving it completely immobilized.
The Eight-Tails was captured alive by Yako.
The Seven-Tails and the Three-Tails couldn't help but smile maliciously and approached, ready to give him a few good blows.
"I don't like hitting women though..." Darui's voice echoed behind Yako. With his sword in hand, he immediately appeared behind her. "But you're my enemy, so... die!"
His sword came down with fury.
[Clang!]
A tanto intercepted the blow.
"If it comes to speed, I have some confidence in my abilities," a voice said calmly.
Darui frowned as he saw his new opponent.
Uchiha Shisui!
Darui's dull eyes flashed with an intense coldness. "It seems I'll have to finish you off first."
"I'm sorry, but I think it will be the other way around." Shisui smiled calmly and attacked quickly.
"Kill!"
"Kill them!"
Yako's action marked the beginning of the battle.
Both sides rushed into combat.
[Boom!]
A loud bang shook the battlefield.
The Eight-Tails was hit hard by the Seven-Tails.
"Damn bastards! We are tailed beasts, how can you be so ruthless!" The Eight-Tails roared indignantly.
The Seven-Tails let out a mocking laugh. "And you were kind when you attacked? Eight-Tails, when did you become such a hypocrite!"
"Enough talking! It's my turn!" The Three-Tails rolled into a ball and charged straight at the Eight-Tails.
[Boom!]
This time, the impact hit the Eight-Tails' face squarely. If it weren't for Yako's golden chains, it would have been sent flying.
"Damn it!"
"Bakayaro! Konoyaro!"
The Eight-Tails and Killer Bee roared in unison, then the Eight-Tails began to form a Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth.
Yako raised an eyebrow. "I had forgotten about your mouth."
Another golden chain shot out, forcibly closing the Eight-Tails' mouth.
The Eight-Tails struggled, furious and surprised.
The Adamantine Sealing Chains kept him completely under control.
Suddenly, Yako turned her head.
There, a masked figure had just appeared, extending his hand towards her.
The next moment countless chains swirled around Obito.
Without wasting any time, Obito activated Kamui, his figure distorted, and he disappeared into the air, dodging the golden chains.
"He must have come for the Eight-Tails." Yako looked at the direction Obito disappeared in and smiled slightly.
"Too bad... Neither I nor the Hokage would hand over the Eight-Tails. He knows it himself, that's why he just left."
And indeed, that was the case.
Obito reappeared in the shadows, his expression twisted in frustration.
From the ground, Zetsu slowly emerged.
"What shall we do now? Without the Eight-Tails, the Ten-Tails will not be able to revive, and the Eye of the Moon Plan will be impossible to carry out."
Obito remained silent.
Zetsu watched him for a moment before adding, "At least we need his chakra."
Obito: "..."
"Do you really think the Hokage will agree to give us anything?" Obito replied sarcastically.
He didn't even bother to mention Funan's name, referring to him simply as the Hokage.
"We should at least try," Zetsu insisted. "Don't forget that that Hokage has taken several Tailed Beasts from us through trades. Why couldn't we get at least a portion of the Eight-Tails' chakra?"
"...I'll try my best!"
...
As soon as Obito appeared, Fūnan had already noticed him.
But he showed no reaction. In fact, he gave a slight smile.
"Orochimaru is in Iwagakure with Ōnoki... I wonder how many familiar faces will appear here."
And at that very moment…
Two familiar figures made their entrance!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo!
As soon as they appeared, both of them launched themselves against Uchiha Fūnan.
And with them, a large squadron of shinobi.
However, instead of attacking Konoha shinobi in general, their target was clear: the Uchiha.
This scene made many people confused.
Fūnan frowned slightly. “Just you two?”
Where are the people from Akatsuki?
"Uchiha Funan!"
With a shout of fury, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō launched their attack.
But Fūnan didn't seem worried at all. "My, my... So they've decided to openly declare war against Konoha?" He let out a light laugh before adding, "Bah, what does it matter? Their fates were already sealed a long time ago."
Before the two could reach Funan, two figures stood in their way.
Uchiha Fugaku!
Uchiha Itachi!
Fūnan looked at them indifferently and, with an arrogant smile, said, "They will be your opponents. I am the Hokage. I am too valuable to lower myself to fight against traitors like you."
...
I am the Hokage!
That phrase, when it reached the ears of Danzō and Hiruzen, turned out to be the biggest mockery.
They were both breathing heavily, their eyes bloodshot.
Their attacks became even more ferocious.
They used to be the two most powerful figures in Konoha: first and second in command.
They ruled the village together for decades.
Their word was law.
And now?
In just a few years, everything had fallen apart.
Their authority had vanished, their reputation within the village was in tatters.
They had fallen into utter humiliation.
But that was not enough for Fūnan.
He had pushed them into turning traitors, forcing them to flee the village.
The hatred they felt towards Uchiha Fūnan had reached its peak.
Every word that came out of Fūnan's mouth drove them closer to madness.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In the hysterical roar, the two launched their most powerful attack ever.
Unfortunately, the people they faced were Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Fugaku!
It can be said that the strength of this father and son is second only to Uchiha Funan in the entire Uchiha clan.
Fūnan barely gave them a glance before looking away and focusing on another point on the battlefield.
There, the alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure had already entered into combat against the forces of Kumogakure.
Both sides fought with unbridled hatred, ready to annihilate each other.
Chakra was exploding in all directions.
Screams.
Curses.
Howls of rage.
Hatred spread like a disease.
But Fūnan just watched in silence.
It was obvious: the alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure had the absolute advantage.
"Let them keep killing each other!" Fūnan muttered. "After today, Kumogakure will cease to exist."
Although the appearance of the troops brought by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō had given Kumogakure some respite, it was still not enough to change Kumogakure's fate.
It was a war more ruthless than the First, Second and Third Shinobi World Wars combined.
[Buzz!]
Suddenly, the space in front of Fūnan distorted.
Brother Obito appeared.
Fūnan turned his head. “Are you coming for the Eight-Tails?”
"Yes!" Obito said coldly: "I need the Eight-Tails."
"Do you want his chakra or the entire Tailed Beast? If it's just chakra, go ahead. Take it right now. But if you want the entire Eight-Tails…" Fūnan smiled. "We'll have to talk about it."
Obito: "..."
"Uchiha Funan." He said in an icy voice. "You already possess eight of the nine Tailed Beasts. Don't be greedy. The Eight-Tails belongs to me."
Fūnan narrowed his eyes. “What if I refuse?”
Obito's eyes shone brightly. "Then there is only one solution: war." His voice was firm as steel. "You know well the power of Akatsuki. Do you think Konoha is prepared to face us now?"
Funan smiled slightly. “You say you can command Akatsuki…”
He then shook his head. "I admit that Konoha is at war and that Akatsuki's intervention would be a big problem… but the thing is, you can't give them orders."
He pointed at himself. "I'm part of Akatsuki too. And I assure you that your orders aren't worth shit. When I was in the organization, if you dared to say something stupid in front of me, I would slap you without thinking twice."
To Funan's surprise, Obito remained calm this time.
"Uchiha Funan, don't try to provoke me." he said in a cold voice. "I warn you that if you continue down this path, I will bring Akatsuki and attack you. Do you want to risk it?"
Funan thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you want the Eight-Tails, I can give it to you, but you have to pay!"
"How much?"
Funan mentioned a price with complete indifference.
Obito felt a sudden dizziness, almost exploding on the spot. “Uchiha Funan!” he growled through gritted teeth. “Are you mocking me?”
“Make fun of you?” Funan said casually. “I’m not interested. It’s a deal, simple as that. You accept or leave.”
Obito glared at him.
That bastard had already bought several tailed beasts from him.
And now, with this deal, he wanted to get back all the money he had spent…
"I don't have that much money," Obito said with a gloomy face. "You know well that the development of Akatsuki requires a huge amount of resources."
"I know," Funan replied with a smile. "But you have something I really need."
"What thing?" Obito's heart tightened.
"Sharingan!"
Obito frowned and said, "Sharingan? What for? Do you lack them?"
After all, Funan was the leader of the Uchiha clan.
Who knew how many Sharingan the Uchiha clan had stored over the years!
"What does that have to do with you?" Funan replied lightly. "Even if I had a hundred pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, it's still my business. You just need to give me enough Sharingan, and we'll seal the deal."
The names of two techniques appeared in Obito's mind:
Izanagi.
Izanami.
The two forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan!
After some thought, Obito sighed and nodded heavily. "I'll give you ten."
"No deal. It's twenty," Funan said, holding up two fingers. "If you agree, we'll trade. If not, go ahead and bring Akatsuki and try your luck."
Obito glared at Funan fiercely.
Konoha was embroiled in war, and yet Funan continued to impose her terms so firmly.
Obito panted heavily twice.
[Buzz!]
Space twisted and several boxes appeared in Obito's hands. "Here you go."
Funan opened them.
Inside, there were several bottles with preservative liquid, with three-tomoe Sharingan.
After a quick inspection, he smiled. "The Eight-Tails is yours… go capture it."
Sure enough!
This beast!
Getting something for nothing!
He still has to catch the Eight-Tails himself!
Obito walked towards the Eight-Tails with a gloomy face.
