TUS Chapter 265: Mifune Learns to Stay Down
🕑 Added 2025-01-18 19:38:31 +0000 UTC[Clang!]
With a crisp sound, Funan stopped Mifune's slash using his Kusanagi sword.
He turned his head slightly, looked at Mifune coldly and said, "In a battle between shinobi, where did a guy like you, with a bandaged head, come from? Get out!"
[Bang!]
Suddenly, the giant hand of Susanoo struck Mifune hard.
[Boom!]
Mifune was smashed directly into the ground.
Funan stretched his body as he looked at the other Kage in front of him. With a cold smile, he commented, "Finally you couldn't hold back, huh? Nice attempt at coordination, but you're still missing something. Do you have any more tricks? Come on, make me enjoy this more."
The first to attack were Hashirama and Tobirama.
[Bang!]
A cloud of dust covered the area.
When the smoke cleared, Funan came into view.
The ocular power was so overwhelming that it could even be felt from a distance.
Surrounded by a gigantic crimson red Susanoo, he radiated an aura that made the souls of those who faced him tremble.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest and, in an icy voice, said, "Do you guys want to dance?"
Everyone's heart sank.
They had come into this battle confidently, but now, facing Funan, they felt an overwhelming urge to turn and flee.
A total of seven Kage-level shinobi, an unprecedented lineup. And yet, to their horror, Onoki and the others sensed that it was they who were surrounded by Funan.
[Splash!]
Orochimaru, whose body had been split in half by the Dust Release, opened his mouth to vomit out another body of himself, intact.
With a furious look at Onoki, he then looked at the Senju brothers and shouted, "Attack! Kill Uchiha Funan!"
The two former Hokage charged towards Funan again.
Funan looked at them coldly and said: "It's not the feeling I imagined at all."
He remembered how, in the Naruto Series, both revived former Hokage had been astonishingly powerful.
But now...
[Swoosh!]
Two crimson swords appeared in the Susanoo's hands and pierced through the Senju brothers.
"What is this?"
The person who spoke was actually Senju Tobirama.
"You..." Orochimaru was shocked.
Has the Impure World Reincarnation been cracked?
Others were also confused. They didn't understand why a puppet could speak normally?
Senju Hashirama also spoke: "It's... the Sword of Totsuka!"
“So it’s that legendary sealing sword.”
Tobirama gave a slight smile of relief, looking at Funan with a mix of concern and a bit of... appreciation.
He had ruled Konoha with efficiency, and on top of that, he possessed those impressive eyes...
The Uchiha clan had truly produced some exceptional talent.
However, with that talent also came inherent danger.
“Uchiha boy, tell me, what does the village mean to you?” Tobirama questioned him.
Funan glanced at him and replied, “What do you care? You’re a dead man. I’ll blow this place to pieces tomorrow, so what? Does it affect you? If you don’t agree, come out of your grave and bite me.”
Tobirama: "..."
This is really an unpleasant Uchiha kid!
"Hahaha!" Hashirama laughed. "Tobirama, you and I are both dead. Don't mind the affairs of the living!"
"Alas!" Tobirama also understood that they were no longer able to take care of it, but he was still worried. He looked around.
Because they were on the roof of the tallest building in the village, they had a wide view and could see much of the village.
Although Konoha was surrounded by the fire of war, it could not hide its prosperity.
“Fifth Hokage, the village... I leave it to you.” Hashirama looked solemnly at Funan.
“What nonsense!” Funan rolled his eyes and said, “What is mine, I protect. What is not mine, even if you give it to me, I don’t even bother to look at it. Why would I trust you? Understand one thing: the village is mine now. What are you worried about? Is it even your business?”
Hashirama: "..."
“By the way,” Funan said suddenly. “Sarutobi Hiruzen is still alive. I didn’t kill him.”
Tobirama and Hashirama's eyes twitched slightly.
You are the Hokage, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was also the Hokage, your predecessor. How come you so casually speak of killing him? What kind of enmity do you two have?
Well...
That young man named Orochimaru had mentioned that Hiruzen was deposed by this young Uchiha.
Not having enmity would be strange.
The truth was that they were unaware of Konoha's current situation and had no right to give an opinion.
Although they are wary of Uchiha, after hearing that the Sarutobi clan has more than 3,000 shinobi, their hearts are also cold.
This is also the reason why they have never blamed Uchiha Funan.
However, they did not want a civil war to break out in Konoha either.
Funan said: “Let me make something clear. I’m pretty sure Sarutobi Hiruzen was here before. He probably wanted to ally himself with these invaders to kill me. But seeing you two, he didn’t dare to show himself.”
"How is that possible?" Tobirama didn't believe it.
"Hehe!" Funan smiled and said: “Do you remember Tsunade?”
"Nonsense!" They both rolled their eyes in unison.
“Well, Tsunade deeply hates Sarutobi Hiruzen.”
"Why?" Tobirama frowned and said, “I remember I asked Monkey to take her as a disciple. Didn’t he?”
"He did!" Funan pointed to Orochimaru behind him and said, “Orochimaru, Tsunade, and a ninja named Jiraiya were all disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the Sannin of Konoha. Each of them had enough talent to be Hokage.”
"Then why..."
“Because Nawaki died.”
"Nawaki?"
Tobirama was stunned. This was an answer he could never dream of.
This answer drained all his strength.
On the other hand, Hashirama was confused and said, "Who is Nawaki?"
When he died, Nawaki had not yet been born.
Tobirama looked at him with a complicated look and said, “He's your grandson, Tsunade's younger brother.”
Hashirama was also shocked.
"Okay, goodbye, both of you!" Funan made seals with both hands and said, “Once I seal you two, I will go find Sarutobi Hiruzen. If he is around here, I will send him to meet you. If he is not, I will let him live for a while longer.”
The two former Hokage didn't speak.
Nawaki's death was a huge problem.
As Hashirama's direct grandson, he should have received the greatest possible protection. Under no circumstances should he have died.
If he dies, what role does Sarutobi Hiruzen play in it?
Or was Nawaki's death simply an accident?
"Seal!"
Totsuka's Sword trapped Hashirama and Tobirama, sealing them in a gourd.
"Ready! Thanks for waiting!" Funan turned her head towards Raikage and the others. "It's your turn!"
"Alas!"
Orochimaru sighed faintly and formed seals with his hands again.
"Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"
He opened his mouth wide, and countless poisonous snakes poured out of his mouth and pounced on Funan.
Funan barely gave them a glance. With a gentle movement of his Susanoo's hand, everything was resolved.
[Bang!]
The dense and countless poisonous snakes were destroyed in an instant.
"That's it?" Funan sneered.
"Of course not!" The deep voice of the Raikage sounded behind Funan. His whole body was flashing with lightning, and he had entered the lightning chakra mode.
He struck the Susanoo's armor with his blade-like hand.
[Bang!]
The Susanoo's massive fist sent the Raikage flying.
"It's my turn!"
Onoki's voice echoed, intervening right after the Raikage's attack. In his hands he had already formed his Dust Release.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Funan spat out a burst of fire, forcibly interrupting Onoki's attack.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"
The Susanoo was enveloped by the Lava Release.
[Bang!]
A dull sound rang out, the Susanoo suddenly expanded, breaking free.
“I was waiting for you!” Mifune’s anger-filled voice echoed.
There was blood on the corners of his lips and his face was pale. Funan's previous blow had obviously caused him great damage.
Despite this, he gritted his teeth, gripped his sword, and instantly appeared in front of the Susanoo.
[Bang!]
Another huge fist smashed Mifune into the ground again.
"I already said it! Matters between shinobi are settled by shinobi. What's a samurai doing butting in here?" Funan growled, visibly dissatisfied, without even looking at Mifune.
Funan turned his gaze to the other remaining Kage and sneered. "That's three down. Four to go."
"Fuck!" Even the Raikage couldn't help but curse.
With the two former Hokage sealed and Mifune defeated, only the four of them remained.
To make matters worse, Orochimaru was visibly injured. No one knew how much strength he had left.
For a moment, the Raikage wanted to run.
Floating in the air, Onoki was also at a loss. He finally sighed and said, "Retreat. We can't beat Uchiha Funan."
"No way!" The Raikage rejected the idea without a second thought.
"Then what are you going to do?" Onoki said helplessly. "The four of us may not be able to beat Funan, and don't forget that this is Konoha. It won't be long before shinobi come to support the Hokage."
The Raikage gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Onoki turned his head and looked at Orochimaru. "Summon more reincarnations. Help us escape. And don't tell me you weren't prepared."
He looked at Orochimaru coldly and said: "A venomous snake like you will definitely leave a way out for yourself."
Orochimaru grinned and said: "I... Puff!"
A sword made of ice pierced Orochimaru, lifting him off the ground.
"Y-you..." Orochimaru stared blankly at the person who attacked him.
Terumi Mei!
