TUS Chapter 224: Defeat
🕑 Added 2024-11-09 00:26:59 +0000 UTC“Alas!” Utakata sighed.
“Mizukage-sama, your decision on Konoha was not wrong, so please don’t blame yourself, because it’s not your fault.”
“Yeah, I know!” Funan nodded and raised his hand to answer. “It’s this world that’s wrong!”
Utakata: “…”
“Let’s go!” Funan looked at Utakata with a smile and said: “Little bubble, it’s time for you to get on the road. I, the second strongest Hokage in history, will send you off. Aren’t you happy?”
Utakata smiled. “Second? Then who is the first? Senju Hashirama?”
"No!" Funan shook his head and said seriously: "Of course it's Sarutobi Hiruzen. No one can take away the position of the strongest Hokage in history."
Utakata: "... Let's go!"
"No!" Mei shouted angrily, the power of her attacks growing stronger and stronger.
Shisui could read her every move and wouldn't let her get away from him.
If Mei tried to save Utakata, Shisui had complete confidence that he could kill her on the spot.
Utakata in his Six-Tails form sighed, stepping forward.
At that moment, his figure, lonelier than ever, was a reflection of the emptiness he felt.
The weak have no choice but to yield to superior force.
Even though he knew the path ahead would lead to death, he still had to continue.
Both of them, one after the other, left the place.
Shortly after, they stopped in a cleared area.
This place was not far from where the battle between Kirigakure and Konoha was still going on, and Mei's angry screams and the explosions of Konoha's explosive tags could still be heard.
"Haha, this place is not bad!" Funan said with a smile: “Utakata, how about I let the people of Kirigakure watch you die here?”
"You want to use me to hit Kirigakure's morale?" Utakata sneered.
Utakata began forming hand seals and said coldly: “What a pity. You will be disappointed this time, Uchiha Funan, die with me!”
"Roar!!!"
A deafening roar filled the air.
The Six-Tails' body began to grow even larger.
Funan watched as the Six-Tails’ aura turned violent and smiled slightly. “Utakata, do you really think that by releasing the Six-Tails, you’ll be able to use it against me?”
"Naive!"
"Too naive."
“Now I’m not afraid of tailed beasts at all. No, perhaps, tailed beasts are the ones who fear me now!”
Funan's Mangekyo Sharingan began to spin at high speed and the Susanoo grew to a height of over 50 meters.
“Come, Six-Tails!” Funan shouted loudly and advanced towards the Six-Tails.
The Six-Tails stared coldly, then opened its mouth and shot a large amount of corrosive liquid towards the Susanoo.
But the Susanoo, moving at a speed unexpected for its size, dodged the attack and struck the tailed beast with a fist.
The Six-Tails' body began to deform as if it were plasticine, bouncing off the ground and reducing the force of the Susanoo's blow.
Immediately after, it began to expel a highly corrosive gas outwards.
The next moment Susanoo kicked the Six-Tails, sending it away.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Seeing the giant blood-colored fireball, the Six-Tails sensed the threat and transformed its body. It slithered like a snake, avoiding the flames and enveloping the Susanoo.
The Susanoo collided both hands together forcefully, releasing a huge blast of air.
The Six Tails, which had already arrived nearby, was blown away by the force of the wind, falling heavily hundreds of meters away.
Funan laughed coldly, prepared to launch the final blow. But he suddenly stopped.
The next moment several missiles flew towards him, hitting the Susanoo. Although they didn't break through his defense, they pushed Funan back.
Funan frowned.
At that moment, a strong impact hit the Six-Tails.
"Roar!!!"
The Six-Tails screamed in agony, being buried into the ground by the tremendous impact.
The huge impact directly changed the terrain in this area.
At this time, a figure rushed into the ground like lightning.
Konan, holding Utakata, who had already left his tailed beast form behind, slowly ascended into the sky. Her face showed a resigned expression as she looked at Funan.
Funan frowned and stared at her.
But Funan did not move, because a short distance away, there was a figure staring at him.
It was Pain, and probably the other Six Paths were nearby as well.
“How brave!” Funan gave a cold laugh and said: “So now you want to steal my prey?”
"Humph!" Pain just snorted.
“Continue, I'm leaving now.” Pain dropped these words with a very calm attitude and turned around to leave.
“Are you leaving? Have you asked me if you can leave?” Funan sneered and charged towards Pain.
But the next moment a swarm of paper cranes blocked their path.
They were paper cranes loaded with explosive tags.
Funan was silent for a moment. "Well, I've been using explosive tags to blow up others, and I forgot the real owner. Now it's my turn to get blown up."
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Explosions rang out one after another.
"Hokage-sama!" The Konoha shinobi exclaimed in terror.
Even though Funan was incredibly strong, seeing those paper cranes flying across the sky with explosive tags was quite terrifying.
The Kiri-nin were also very worried, because the Six-Tails had been captured.
Zabuza, who was about to head in the direction Konan flew, was also stopped by another swarm of paper cranes.
Without thinking, Zabuza and the shinobi beside him turned and began to run.
[Boom!]
The paper cranes continued to chase them, exploding behind them.
At some point Funan appeared again on the battlefield, and he looked at Zabuza, who was running with his group, and almost laughed out loud.
Funan snorted coldly, his face was full of anger, but he was actually happy inside.
Although he had failed to catch the Six-Tails, one of the exploding papers had conveyed several messages to him.
The content was clear: The Six-Tails had been taken away and some of its chakra would be extracted. If Funan wanted the Tailed Beast, she could have it, but if not, it would be sealed into the Ten-Tails' body.
That was Konan's promise.
At the same time, because of this incident, Konan thinks that she did something wrong, so the next time they are together, she will do her best to satisfy all of Funan's extravagant ideas!
Funan knew that Pain only wanted to save face. Although he had been defeated by him many times, if he ever got the chance, he wanted to get revenge.
Funan didn't care at all. What interested him were the concrete benefits.
Furthermore, all the blame could now be placed on the heads of the Akatsuki organization.
"Hey!" Funan, seeing how the Kiri and Konoha shinobi were a little lost, stepped forward. With a smile on his face, he said: “What are you waiting for? Keep fighting!”
The Konoha shinobi were stunned, but quickly began attacking the Kiri-nin.
"Enough, stop!" Mei shouted.
Funan responded with a Fire Release.
"Kill!"
With the Six-Tails lost, Funan was left free on the battlefield.
Wherever Funan appeared, large numbers of Kiri-nin fell.
Facing the enormous Susanoo, the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist had nothing to do.
Mei was a little lost. Although she knew that the gap between herself and Konoha was huge, she never thought it would be so big.
"Mizukage-sama, how do you feel?" Shisui looked at Mei, smiled, and said: "This is the end of betraying Konoha."
Mei's expression returned to calm. She looked at Shisui and said lightly: "Do you think you won?"
"In this case, do you think we didn't win?" Shisui pointed to Uchiha Funan who was laughing wildly in the crowd.
"No, you didn't win!" Mei said coldly: "Until the last moment, no one dares to say that they will definitely win, especially when your opponent is us, Kirigakure!"
As he finished speaking, several figures emerged and entered the battlefield.
Seeing the techniques they were using, Shisui opened his eyes in surprise.
"These, these people, could they be..."
"Yes, it's them!" Mei laughed coldly.
The battlefield became more chaotic because of the intervention of these people.
They were the remaining members of the Kaguya clan, Yuki and other Kiri-nin with kekkei genkai who were supposed to have been exterminated by Kirigakure.
And this confusion caused by them gave Kirigakure an opportunity.
…
The battle between Konoha and Kirigakure finally came to an end.
Kirigakure was defeated!
They sought a glimmer of hope in the midst of danger.
Mei had managed to hide some shinobi with kekkei genkai during the blood mist of Kirigakure, and at the most decisive moment, those individuals entered the battlefield, causing great problems for the Konoha-nin.
Thanks to them, more than two thousand Kiri-nin managed to successfully escape. Also because Funan wanted to capture Terumi Mei alive, she also took advantage of the chaos to escape.
"Block Kirigakure!"
"What?" Shisui was shocked.
Funan said calmly: "Kirigakure has suffered a great blow. Right now, it's the best time to subdue them! Shisui, use Konoha's strongest power, all the power that can be used, and do your best to block Kirigakure, understand?"
Shisui nodded and said: "Understood!"
