TUS Chapter 237: The Colossal Creatures Crisis
🕑 Added 2024-12-01 23:02:49 +0000 UTC"Very well, I want five hundred million ryo."
"Goodbye!"
Hearing what Obito said, Funan turned around and left without thinking.
There is no need to talk any more.
"Wait, wait!"
"Wait for what?" Funan replied irritably. "You think the Seven-Tails is the Nine-Tails? Even the Nine-Tails isn't worth five hundred million ryo. Unless you can turn that Seven-Tails into the Seventeen-Tails."
He paused, folding his arms. "Besides, I already have enough tailed beasts. What do I care about one more seven-tails? Do you think I'm desperate?"
Obito was speechless.
Originally, when he and Black Zetsu discussed it, the two of them thought so too.
Anyway, Funan has already obtained so many tailed beasts, and he doesn't care about having one more Seven-Tails. He might as well sell it to him in exchange for some benefits.
Obviously, the five hundred million ryo was an absurd figure, an inflated price to start the negotiation.
However, this is a tailed beast after all, and you can't really sell it for 50 million ryo.
Obito took a deep breath and said: "I have a plan. I need your help."
"What kind of plan?"
Obito leaned slightly towards him and whispered a few words.
Funan was surprised.
"Is it necessary to go to that extreme?"
"If we don't, we'll never be able to gather the chakra of the nine tailed beasts." Obito replied, his tone icy. "I'm tired of waiting."
"Okay!"
Funan nodded very readily and said: "After all, this will also hit the other shinobi villages. As Hokage, I have no reason to refuse."
Obito nodded slightly and led Funan towards an underground prison.
Funan frowned and said: "Did you kill Utakata?"
"Why leave him alive?" Obito replied with a mocking smile. "If the Seven-Tails' Jinchuriki wasn't a woman, I would have eliminated her too."
Funan was speechless.
His eyes began to glow with the pattern of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Obito instinctively stepped back, activating his own Mangekyo.
"Don't be nervous!" Funan laughed softly and said: "Tobi, I won't attack you for the time being."
He then turned his gaze towards the Jinchuriki and the tailed beast.
In an instant, the pattern of the Mangekyo Sharingan appeared in the eyes of both of them.
Obito slowly clenched his fists.
Just one glance? Just one glance and he already controlled a tailed beast and a Jinchuriki?
"The transaction is over. I've taken the tailed beast and the Jinchūriki away. When your plan starts, just let me know. I'll go there in person."
Funan left these words and left without looking back.
Obito watched him leave silently.
Zetsu slowly crawled out from the ground.
"Obito, he's so strong!"
"I know!"
"What are you going to do?" Zetsu sighed and said: "Maybe we should wake up Madara. Fighting Funan and Nagato at the same time is too much for you."
Now, when Obito walked into the base of Akatsuki, he was tense and ready to escape at any time.
He was worried!
He was worried that Nagato and Funan would attack him.
Obviously he was the great demon in the shadows, why did he have to live in fear now?
Zetsu was also puzzled!
What went wrong?
Why did he feel that nothing was going well?
“No need!”
Obito said calmly: “All the tailed beasts… chakras are about to gather, and the Moon Eye Plan is about to be implemented. I can complete it with or without him.”
“I hope so!” Zetsu sighed helplessly.
...
Two months later.
With Konoha as the core and the two cities as support, the people of Konoha were busy working hard, as if driven by a fire.
After all, two cities were being rebuilt.
After the fall of the nobles, many civilians were left without a clear purpose.
At that time, Funan issued an order: hire as many civilians as possible, give them jobs and the opportunity to earn money.
With money and food on the table, stability returned naturally.
"What's that?" A ninja suddenly shouted, alarmed.
A large dark cloud was slowly approaching one of the new cities under construction.
The shinobi were stunned by that sight.
That huge dark cloud covered the sky, blocking the sunlight, and it looked like it was ready to devour everything in its path.
“A… a monster!”
A ninja stammered, trembling. “That’s a monster!”
When the dark cloud got closer, everyone finally saw clearly that it was not a dark cloud, it was simply a huge creature.
His body was three thousand meters long and over a thousand meters wide.
Making virtually no movement, his mere presence imposed overwhelming pressure.
“Defense, activate defenses!”
Someone shouted desperately.
In an instant, the entire city was plunged into chaos.
“No, it’s not what it seems!”
Several jonin, after observing carefully, came to the same conclusion.
That creature was not heading towards them. Its target was Konoha.
“Quickly, notify the village! Have them prepare.”
“And us? What do we do?”
The jonin gritted his teeth and replied: “Attack! Fire with everything you have!”
“Understood!”
Huge crossbows were deployed, loaded with arrows coated with explosive tags.
At the same time, shinobi specialized in secret techniques began to prepare their attacks.
A few shinobi capable of flight carried bags full of explosive tags, ready to launch them at the creature.
Finally, the monster came within the vicinity of the city, entering attack range.
"Attack!"
With a single order from the commander, the city's defense system went into action.
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Explosions rocked the monster, covering it in clouds of blood.
However, these wounds were insignificant on the creature's immense body.
Worse still, after a round of attacks, the monster's wounds began to slowly regenerate.
“Damn it! What the hell is that thing?”
The commander was completely baffled.
Even though the city was well equipped to repel attacks from entire armies of shinobi, all their efforts seemed useless against this monster.
“Attack! Keep attacking! Don’t let it get any closer to Konoha!”
The attacks continued to hit the monster, triggering more explosions and raising new clouds of blood.
But the creature's regenerative ability was astonishing. Even areas hit repeatedly healed within minutes.
As time passed and the attacks intensified, a huge hole appeared in the creature's torso, from which blood flowed like a spring.
However, the wound twisted while constantly regenerating.
"Attack! Aim for the wound!" A Jonin shouted. Without hesitation, he used ninjutsu to propel several kunai straight into the center of the monster's wound.
Needless to say, the kunai were covered in explosive tags.
Explosions mixed with the released ninjutsu, and deafening explosions echoed through the air. Under the combined attack of the shinobi, the monster's wound grew larger and larger.
"Maaarghhh!"
Finally, the monster let out a loud, drawn-out scream, as if it were in pain.
The monster's gigantic body now had a hole so large that its internal organs were visible to the naked eye.
The monster let out one last, piercing scream as it slowly fell from the sky, blood gushing from its wound.
"We did it!" The shinobi shouted, cheering in unison.
They had managed to bring down that colossal monster.
"Wait, stop!" The commander shouted, his voice filled with fear.
In the distance, a new gigantic shadow emerged from nowhere.
No, it wasn't just one... there were seven!
All the shinobi fell silent and stared at the gigantic creatures.
"Where did so many of them come from? What the hell are these things?" The commander muttered, stunned.
The new monsters, like the first, floated in the air, slowly advancing towards Konoha. Some were larger than the first; others, a little smaller, but all were colossal compared to humans.
"What if... they're just passing by?" A ninja ventured with a trembling voice.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The commander scolded. "And if not? Do you know how much damage they can do at that size? Do you really want to risk it?"
The ninja lowered his head, unable to respond.
The commander looked at the monsters with a frown and then shouted: "Prepare to attack again! Do what you can to take down as many as possible! And notify the village; we need to be ready for whatever comes next!"
"Yes!"
The city was immediately put on high alert. The same happened with the other nearby town.
However, these new monsters proved to be much more difficult to combat. The creatures emitted rays from their bodies to defend themselves from attacks.
Explosive tags became useless.
Other attacks managed to cause superficial damage, but the wounds regenerated at an alarming rate.
"Commander, this isn't working!" A ninja shouted. "According to reports, these monsters are not only attacking on their own initiative, but their defense and regeneration are becoming increasingly stronger."
"How can this be?" The commander asked in disbelief.
The attack continued!
But it could not cause any damage to the monsters.
A jonin, after a long observation, suddenly exclaimed: "Stop! Stop attacking!"
"What's wrong?" The commander asked hurriedly: "What did you find?"
"These monsters are evolving."
"What do you mean?"
"Every time we attack them, they develop a way to counter the attack. It's like they learn and adapt."
The commander was stunned and said in fear: "How is this possible?"
"This is the fact!"
The jonin hesitated slightly and said: "There are several possibilities. One of them is that there is a unique connection between these monsters. When you attack one of them, the others will also react."
"So how do we defeat them?" The commander asked with a frown.
"We need a massive attack that will take them all out at the same time."
The commander took a deep breath, clenching his teeth.
"Where are the Hyuga?" The jonin asked. "Use the Byakugan to search for any anomalies in the surroundings!"
"Do you think someone is handling these creatures?" The commander asked seriously.
"It is a possibility that we cannot rule out."
