TUS Chapter 240: Roaring Youth vs. Mad Science
🕑 Added 2024-12-08 00:17:39 +0000 UTC"Haha, it's really amazing!"
Guy let out an enthusiastic shout, jumping up and down a couple of times, while shaking both legs vigorously.
[Bang! Bang!]
Two loud bangs rang out.
A pair of heavy objects fell from his legs and crashed to the ground with a deafening noise, raising a large cloud of dust.
"Guy!" Kakashi exclaimed, his lips twitching at the sight of the items. "Are you still carrying… that?"
"Of course!" Guy gave a thumbs up with a big smile and declared, "My hot youth will never stop flowing!"
[Ding!]
His teeth shone brightly in the sun.
"..."
Hiruko's face turned gloomy.
Several people surrounded him.
Jiraiya, Itachi, Guy and Kakashi.
"Surrender, Hiruko, you have no chance of winning against us!" Jiraiya said in a deep voice.
"Humph!" Hiruko snorted coldly. He naturally knew how powerful these people were in front of him.
With such a formidable team against him, why keep fighting?
Hiruko stared at Itachi, her eyes filled with hatred, as her body began to slowly descend, merging with the giant monster.
"You're not getting away!" Guy roared.
"Eight Gates! Sixth Gate: The Gate of View, open!"
With explosive movements, Guy threw punches wrapped in flames that scattered like projectiles.
Morning Peacock!
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Guy's attacks tore the monster apart, leaving flesh and blood flying everywhere.
In front of everyone's astonished gaze, Hiruko, who was already inside the monster, was forcibly expelled.
The creature's body lost several layers of flesh in the process.
"You..." Hiruko almost exploded with rage.
"Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
At that moment, Jiraiya attacked, spreading his hair to catch Hiruko.
"Explosion Release!"
[Boom!]
An explosion centered on Hiruko destroyed the hair surrounding him.
"Since you won't let me go, then you can die!"
Hiruko roared with a ferocious look.
"Explosion Release!"
Hiruko launched consecutive explosive punches at everyone present.
"Magnet Release..."
One after another, kekkei genkai techniques erupted, forcing everyone back.
"Itachi, we can't wait!" Jiraiya suddenly shouted. "The two remaining monsters are too close to Konoha! We have to kill them now!"
"Understood!" Itachi looked at it and said: "Kakashi-senpai, you and Jiraiya-sama must take care of Hiruko. Ideally, we should capture him alive, but if that's not possible, eliminate him. Guy and I will finish off the monsters."
"Okay!"
Kakashi made seals with both hands.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Chidori!"
[Swoosh!]
Kakashi charged at Hiruko as Jiraiya summoned a giant toad that swooped down from above.
"Itachi!" Guy looked at Itachi.
"Guy-senpai, please use the seventh gate." Itachi said in a deep voice. "You take care of one monster, and I'll take care of the other."
"Okay!"
Veins popped out on Guy's body as an overwhelming pressure emanated from him, expanding in all directions.
"Eight Gates, the seventh gate, The Gate of Wonder, open!"
With a thunderous roar, Guy's body began to release blue steam.
"This... this..."
Hiruko's eyes widened in disbelief. Is that Guy? The eternal loser who was always last?
This is too exaggerated!
The difference between the sixth gate and the seventh was abysmal.
When Hiruko decided to attack Konoha, he was confident of his success. He even mocked Orochimaru for having lost his fighting spirit after being defeated by Funan.
Now, he realized how wrong he was to underestimate Konoha.
"Roar!"
Gai let out a roar as his energy reached the limit. He slowly brought his hands together.
"Daytime Tiger!"
A roar similar to that of a tiger resounded in the air.
The pressure of space violently compressed, concentrating into a devastating direct fist strike.
The attack hit the giant monster squarely, passing through it completely.
Hiruko watched, horrified, as his monster slowly fell from the sky.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Hiruko gritted his teeth in fury, his expression distorted with madness.
He had gathered all his resources with the purpose of destroying Konoha and capturing an Uchiha, either Itachi or Shisui. If they weren't there, Fugaku would be their next target.
He was certain that even if Konoha used all their power, they would only succeed in destroying half of his creatures. The other half would grow even stronger. In short, their victory was assured.
Then, he would capture a few more Uchiha clan members for research.
But now Konoha had defeated almost all of his creatures!
"That... what is it?"
Hiruko's eyes widened even more as she witnessed an unexpected change.
A gigantic golden-orange warrior appeared around Itachi.
Not to mention Hiruko, even Jiraiya and the others were also stunned.
"Another Mangekyo Sharingan?" Jiraiya muttered in disbelief. "How many Mangekyo does the Uchiha clan have? This is absurd..."
For the first time, Jiraiya lost all hope.
He knew that in the shadows of Konoha there were still those who resented the power of the Uchiha and dreamed of overthrowing them. But seeing this, there was no point in dwelling on that idea.
Jiraiya sincerely wants to advise everyone to live their lives in peace.
As for his sensei, may Kami protect him. It's clear that he's just bait, used by Funan to draw out all those who oppose him. When the net closes, Jiraiya doesn't know how many might escape.
"Mangekyo, the same eyes as Funan..."
Hiruko looked into Itachi's eyes with a burning desire.
Itachi slowly raised his hand, and his Susanoo followed suit. A huge sphere of energy began to form in his palm.
"Yasaka no Magatama!"
The attack tore through Hiruko's last creature, piercing it precisely before it fell from the sky with a wail of agony.
As the monster fell, Jiraiya, Itachi and the others surrounded Hiruko with murderous intent.
"Surrender!"
Hiruko gave a cold laugh and replied with a twisted smile: "Do you really think you have me cornered?"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed.
"Hehe, Hiruko, it seems you're not so powerful after all."
The expressions of the people present all changed drastically.
[Swish!]
A wave of poisonous snakes appeared out of nowhere beneath Kakashi's feet, forcing him back.
Then, a figure emerged in front of Jiraiya, launching a punch straight towards his face.
[Bang!]
Jiraiya reacted quickly, performing a seal and using his hair to block the attack. But the force of the blow sent him back several steps.
With a complicated expression, Jiraiya muttered: "Orochimaru…"
“Hehe, Jiraiya, long time no see.” Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with interest. His snake eyes shone with a cold glint as he said: “Have you become Funan’s dog now?”
Jiraiya shook his head and said calmly: "Funan is the Hokage, and I am a ninja of Konoha. As long as this kind of relationship exists, I will obey Funan."
Orochimaru clicked his tongue. “You’re still the same as always.”
“And you haven’t changed either.” Jiraiya shifted his gaze to Hiruko and said: “So you’re allied with Hiruko now? Well, that makes sense. You both love experimenting with human bodies.”
[Swish!]
Suddenly, Itachi appeared in front of Jiraiya. With a calm voice, he commented: “There was something that puzzled me. Hiruko’s Chimera Technique should contain certain Kekkei Genkai, but the ones I just saw are different. It seems someone helped him modify it.”
“Of course.” Orochimaru let out a dark laugh. “Funan is also in Akatsuki. He knows Hiruko’s abilities well. In order to confront him, we had no choice but to alter Hiruko’s abilities.”
His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Itachi. “Impressive, simply impressive. Itachi, you have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. It is… wonderful.”
"Really?" Itachi smiled slightly, staring at Orochimaru, and said: "Orochimaru-san is interested in my body again now?"
Orochimaru was startled, quickly backing away as he immediately closed his eyes.
“Genjutsu? Damn it, that bastard Funan spilled all my secrets.”
“Hey, Hiruko, we should retreat!”
"Leave now?"
Orochimaru looked at Hiruko strangely and said: "You have already failed, why are you still staying?"
"Hmph!" Hiruko heard the sarcasm in Orochimaru's words, snorted angrily, and nodded unwillingly.
He had vowed to destroy Konoha with his own strength, as long as someone kept Funan busy in Amegakure.
"Goodbye, Itachi, see you next time!"
"Want to leave?" Itachi sneered and said: "You are really arrogant. Do you think we will do nothing and watch you go?"
Orochimaru let out a wild laugh as he performed hand seals with both hands. “If you want to stop us, go ahead. But I doubt Konoha can handle this.”
The next moment, the corpses of all the giant monsters began to writhe, swell grotesquely until they suddenly burst apart. From within them emerged countless small creatures, which headed towards Konoha like an unstoppable tidal wave.
"Orochimaru!!!"
To everyone's surprise, Hiruko was the most enraged. He glared at Orochimaru with a face full of rage.
"What did you do to my research results?"
Hiruko had doubted that Orochimaru had secretly tampered with his work while assisting him. Now that he confirmed it, it deeply hurt his pride as a scientist.
Since he hadn't really found anything until now.
Orochimaru didn't even look at him, but just smiled at Itachi and said: “These little creatures can self-destruct. Tell me, Itachi, can Konoha stop them with its current defenses?”
Itachi kept his gaze fixed on Orochimaru but before they could react, the monster violently impacted the ground.
[Boom!]
In that moment of confusion Orochimaru and Hiruko had already disappeared.
“Stop those creatures with all your might! They must not reach Konoha!” Itachi calmly gave orders.
Although the creatures were not that destructive individually, their numbers were overwhelming. Letting them reach Konoha would have been a disaster.
This is why Itachi did not chase Orochimaru.
