TUS Chapter 281: The Battle for Kumogakure Begins!
🕑 Added 2025-02-23 19:15:55 +0000 UTC"Yako!"
"Hokage-sama!"
"How is the investigation into this matter going?"
Funan pointed to the ground with a gesture.
Yako understood instantly and replied, "We have made some progress, but if you expect drastic advances in a short time..."
She looked a little uncomfortable.
“Waste!” Funan let out a snort of disdain.
"Hey, brat, who do you think you're scolding?" An annoyed voice echoed through the room.
With a gloomy face, Tobirama appeared directly in the Hokage's office using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He glared at Funan.
"If you're upset by what I'm saying, show me results!" Funan sneered and said, "I gave you a huge laboratory, money, personnel... Whatever you asked for, I got it for you. But tell me, what have you given me in return? Nothing! Just air!"
"Tell me yourself, do you deserve to be scolded or not?"
The corner of Tobirama's mouth twitched.
This evil Uchiha!
Even more evil than other Uchiha, openly pointing at his nose and scolding!
And the worst thing was that... he couldn't refute it.
Funan had entrusted him with the investigation of the Reincarnation of the Impure World. With only one condition: to strengthen Senju Hashirama's body as much as possible.
How could Tobirama refuse that?
Moreover, the environment provided by Funan makes his scientist's heart tremble uncontrollably.
The current Konoha was much stronger than in his time.
What did the village have when he ruled?
Apart from the mess his older brother left behind... nothing!
As for the current Konoha...
He had reached unprecedented splendor. The amount of equipment and research instruments he had now was something he had never even seen in his time.
Investigating with these resources was a real pleasure for Tobirama.
"Tell me the truth, Tobirama, can you handle this or not?" Funan looked at him with disdain. "If you can't, then just say it. I'll find someone else!"
Tobirama's eyebrows twitched and said, "Who do you want to change?"
"Do I need to tell you? Tobirama, don't forget that I am the Hokage!"
Senju Tobirama: "..."
"Understood!" he growled through gritted teeth. "I'll do my best to give you a good result."
"How long?"
"Half a month!"
Funan hesitated.
"What? You can't wait for half a month?" Tobirama said in surprise: "Uchiha Funan, what do you want to do?"
"I'll tell you straight." Funan paused before continuing, "My concern is Uchiha Madara."
Tobirama's expression immediately became serious.
"Why? Isn't he dead? Do you think he was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation?"
"No." Funan spoke seriously. "I'm worried that... Madara never died in the first place."
"How is that possible?" Tobirama almost laughed.
Funan said coldly: "Where is his body?"
Tobirama's smile faded.
After Hashirama defeated Madara, he hid his body.
Tobirama, of course, objected. He insisted on studying it.
Even if only to better understand the Uchiha, the mysteries of Madara's body had to be unraveled.
In the end, Hashirama agreed.
And the result?
Madara's corpse disappeared.
Tobirama searched every inch of the place Hashirama claimed to have hidden it. He dug deep... and found nothing. Not a single trace.
For a moment, he even suspected that his brother had lied.
He knew Hashirama too well. For Madara, he was capable of doing anything crazy.
Tobirama frowned deeply: "Why do you think Uchiha Madara is still alive?"
"Just because I am the Hokage!"
Senju Tobirama: "..."
…
With a single order from Funan, over ten thousand Konoha shinobi had gathered on the battlefield of Kumogakure.
From Kirigakure, Terumi Mei also demonstrated her determination, gathering six thousand shinobi.
It was practically the entire military force of Kirigakure.
If those six thousand shinobi fell, Kirigakure would disappear with them.
In a few decades, perhaps no one would even remember that the village existed.
Sixteen thousand shinobi ready for war!
Funan arrived at the battle front the day after troop mobilization was completed.
"Kumogakure… will you surrender?" Funan asked calmly, facing the majority of the enemy forces alone.
"Dream on!" Darui snapped coldly.
"Good." Funan replied with an indifferent smile. "Remember your words… and don't you dare give up later."
"Attack!"
Funan's order was brief, but it resounded like thunder.
The war cry of sixteen thousand shinobi shook the earth, chilling the blood of many Kumogakure shinobi.
From the sky, the Seven Tails launched a Tailed Beast Ball directly at Kumogakure's defensive line.
The great battle between Kumogakure and the alliance of Konoha and Kirigakure has officially begun!
Darui led a thousand shinobi and used combined ninjutsu to narrowly stop the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Not bad..." Funan commented with interest. "They managed to stop the Tailed Beast Ball. But I wonder... how many times they can do it?"
"Summoning Technique!"
[Bang!]
With a rumble and a cloud of smoke, a huge silhouette emerged on the battlefield.
The Three-Tails appeared on the battlefield, staring at Kumogakure with fierce eyes.
Under Funan's command, the Seven-Tails and the Three-Tails used the tailed beast ball at the same time!
Panic gripped the shinobi of Kumogakure.
The two Tailed Beast Balls flew straight towards Kumogakure.
Desperate, Darui tried to stop them with another combined ninjutsu, but this time there were two, and he could only deflect one.
This even caused the Kumo-nin who used the combined ninjutsu to fall to the ground in pain.
It was still too much for them to withstand two tailed beast balls in a row.
Darui had no time to care about them. He could only stare at the second Tailed Beast Ball heading towards them and think of one thing: We're done for.
At that instant, a thunderous roar shook the battlefield.
The Eight-Tails appeared.
With its eight tentacles, it whipped the air furiously, deflecting the Tailed Beast Ball into the sky.
"I am the Eight-Tails Killer Bee!"
Killer Bee's voice rang out with his signature rapper tone as he charged at the Three-Tails and the Seven-Tails.
The Kumogakure shinobi erupted in cheers.
Funan watched the scene in surprise. Not because Killer Bee had appeared, but because his tentacles had regenerated too quickly.
"No, it has not recovered!" Yako intervened. She closed her eyes, sensing the flow of chakra. "Hokage-sama, the Eight-Tails' energy is still weak." she said in a deep voice. "As for its tentacles... they seem more like concentrations of chakra than regenerated ones. As long as it has enough chakra, it can continue to form them."
Funan clicked his tongue.
In their previous fight, he had cut off all of his tentacles and also beaten him up.
It wasn't that easy to recover from something like that.
However, its power was still astonishing, and with a single punch, the Eight-Tails sent the Seven-Tails flying.
Immediately, its eight tentacles wrapped around the Three-Tails and launched it into the air.
"Roar!"
The roars of the tailed beasts resounded. The Seven-Tails and the Three-Tails were furious.
With another roar, the Three-Tails and Seven-Tails charged again.
The Seven-Tails swooped down from the sky, while the Three-Tails curled into a sphere and spun toward the Eight-Tails.
With a movement of its enormous tentacles, the Eight-Tails managed to stop the Three-Tails' attack.
The Eight-Tails roared and began to spin, before launching the Three-Tails into the air.
The problem was that the poor Three-Tails flew right into the path of the Seven-Tails, which was descending at full speed. A collision was inevitable. Both tailed beasts were thrown off, rolling across the ground.
The shinobi of Kumogakure erupted in cheers upon seeing the overwhelming power of the Eight-Tails.
Funan, for his part, clucked his tongue in disdain. "How useless."
"I wouldn't put it like that," Yako interjected, shaking her head. "It's clear that the Three-Tails' true battlefield is the sea, while the Seven-Tails' advantage is in the air."
Funan let out a mocking laugh. "The Eight-Tails is an octopus, its advantage also lies in the sea. Losing is losing, don't look for excuses."
Yako, with a calm expression, replied, "I don't agree. I wouldn't say they've been defeated. The Three-Tails and Seven-Tails are not injured, and if the battle continues, the Eight-Tails will most likely lose."
Funan frowned. "I don't have time to wait. Yako, go and help them."
"Understood." Without rushing, Yako began to walk forward with her notebook in her hand, as if she were still Funan's secretary.
However, with every step she took, her chakra increased alarmingly.
By the time she was close enough to the Eight-Tails, the pressure emitted by her chakra was absolutely overwhelming.
As she maintained an impassive expression, from her body, countless golden chains unfolded in all directions, enveloping the Eight-Tails in the blink of an eye.
"Wha... what is this?" The Eight-Tails exclaimed in astonishment, struggling to break free.
But the more he struggled, the tighter the chains became, completely immobilizing him.
"Roar!!!"
The Eight-Tails roared in anger, shaking violently.
