TUS Chapter 230: Chiyo vs. Sasori - Grandma’s Redemption
🕑 Added 2024-11-16 19:08:12 +0000 UTC"Take the elites of the clan." Funan ordered, fixing his gaze on Tetsuhi. "Do your best to bring back as many White Zetsu bodies as you can, without anyone noticing. Understood?"
“Understood!” Tetsuhi replied firmly.
Without wasting any time, Tetsuhi gathered more than ten elite jonin of the Uchiha clan, and together they set out from Konoha.
Funan gently caressed his eyes as he murmured: "Rinnegan... This time, I'm sure I'll be closer to you than ever before."
He then turned his gaze to the intelligence report in front of him.
The last intelligence is also the most critical intelligence.
However, for Funan, it became a little boring...
Onoki, the Raikage A, along with Mifune led a contingent of five thousand shinobi and three thousand samurai towards Amegakure.
Pain, accompanied by Kisame, Obito and Hiruko, prepared to face them.
"Although there are only four people, the pressure on Raikage and others should be great." Funan smiled slightly.
No matter how the battle ended, Konoha would not be involved. The most depressed person is probably Obito...
"Hmm?" Funan was startled suddenly, and quickly looked through the information, and then called Naoto.
As Naoto entered the office, a voice interrupted from outside.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Hmm?" Funan was startled: "This voice... Kazu?"
"That's right." Naoto replied calmly. "She's Nara Kazu."
Funan, surprised, asked: "Didn't I arrange for her to go to rest?"
Naoto remained silent, but Funan understood the situation.
Nara Shikaku and the others are not in a good situation. As Funan's personal assistant, Kazu would naturally find out about some critical matters ahead of time.
Now naturally, she doesn't want to leave here at all. Staying by Funan's side is the best choice from all angles.
Funan shook his head.
"Hokage-sama, is there anything?"
"Yes." Funan's expression became serious, and he said: "Naoto, is there any news about the tailed beasts?"
"No!" Naoto said without hesitation.
Funan frowned deeply.
The Two-Tails and Four-Tails had been captured by Akatsuki but were secretly transferred by Funan a few days ago.
The Three-Tails was his summoning beast.
The Six-Tails had been loaned to Akatsuki.
Of the remaining Tailed Beasts, the Five-Tails was theoretically still in Iwagakure, the Seven-Tails was in Takigakure, and the Eight-Tails was in Kumogakure.
However, why had these tailed beasts not been deployed in such an important battle?
Funan touched his chin and murmured: "With my appearance, Obito must have new hope for the future. Hmm... that's definitely the case. So what will he do now?"
Funan looked at the latest intelligence and hummed a song. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Because White Zetsu appeared, no matter how much or how little Tetsuhi and the others gained, his strength would definitely increase.
Besides, if three thousand showed up this time, could it be five thousand next time? Ten thousand, perhaps?
Maybe even more.
Funan sighed. So many shinobi villages have begun to act. Every village must be empty. At this time, is it possible that Brother Obito will not act?
After thinking for a while, Funan sent a message with a secret technique. The target is Konan.
After a while, Konan replied to him.
...The masked man is missing, but he left a message that he will definitely come back before the war begins.
Funan smiled. This Obito is interesting. He doesn't even tell Nagato what he is doing now.
Weren't they good friends, inseparable companions? Where is their mutual trust?
Funan once again looked at the map of the shinobi world.
If Obito left just to do some private things, then there is nothing to say.
However, it seemed clear that he was keeping too many secrets from Nagato. If his actions involved the Tailed Beasts and the Eye of the Moon Plan, without telling Nagato, things between them could get pretty bad.
Funan looked inside his body.
Within him, seven masses of Tailed Beast energy lay dormant, forming a perfect circle.
Only the five tails and the seven tails are missing!
Faster than expected.
Where are they now?
Obito is probably looking for them too.
"I must first make sure to obtain a power at the level of the Six Paths. This world is too dangerous; I need the strength to protect myself." Funan muttered to himself. "Five tails... Seven tails..."
...
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the battle between Kumo, Iwa, Kiri and Suna, along with the Land of Iron against Amegakure, broke out.
While the Suna-nin and Konan maintained a tense calm, Mei led her Kirigakure group in a direct attack against the White Zetsu.
The battlefield, already on the verge of eruption, was soon plunged into absolute chaos.
Although the White Zetsu had considerable strength, they were no match for the Kiri-nin brought by Mei.
The three thousand white Zetsu were almost suppressed by the opponent. They lost hundreds in one encounter.
Seeing this, Terumi Mei said nothing and personally led people to fight.
This time, Terumi Mei seemed extremely violent, suppressing Sasori and Deidara alone.
The two old artists were stunned.
This woman, so fierce?
However, when the two came to their senses, they suppressed Terumi Mei in turn.
Fortunately, Kirigakure still has the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who rushed forward and nearly tortured Deidara to the point of doubting his life.
Deidara was originally very arrogant. Then, there was a violent storm! Under a round of attacks, Deidara almost knelt down.
He thought flying to the sky would keep him safe, but he didn't count on Ringo Ameyuri summoning a bolt of lightning that nearly split him in two.
Damn, isn't Kirigakure the weakest shinobi village now? You call this the weakest?
"Brother Sasori! I can't handle this! What do we do?"
Sasori's face, although that of a puppet, clearly reflected his displeasure. He coldly replied: "Call for reinforcements. As for that woman, leave her to me."
Saying this, a figure shot out from the remains of the Hiruko puppet and landed softly on the ground. It was a human-shaped puppet: Sasori's true body.
With an empty gaze, Sasori fixed his eyes on Mei and said calmly: "Worthy of being the Mizukage. However, this is as far as your path goes. From now on, I will be the one to entertain you."
Mei barely spared him a glance before looking away, disinterested. "It's you, Sasori of the Red Sand, a genius puppeteer. I really want to compete with you, but unfortunately, your opponent is not me."
"Huh?" Sasori frowned slightly, feeling a bad feeling.
Two elderly figures slowly emerged from the crowd. Seeing them, Sasori's eyes, though empty, showed a glimmer of life. His puppet-like body froze on the spot.
"Sister, it's him. It's Sasori, that brat." One of them said with a trembling voice, full of pain and resignation.
The other figure let out a low growl, barely audible. His tired, clouded eyes fixed on Sasori with unrelenting intensity.
Mei wasted no time on formalities. "Chiyo, there's your grandson. He's all yours."
After saying that, Terumi Mei rushed towards the White Zetsu army.
The two old men were none other than Chiyo and Ebizo.
Their gazes towards Sasori were filled with complex emotions.
"Haha, haha!"
Sasori broke the silence with a laugh.
"How pathetic! Did Sunagakure really have to send you two old men to fight? What a disgrace!"
"Sasori..."
"No need to say more!" Sasori laughed and said: "Just now, let's say goodbye to the past!"
There was an extra scroll in his hand, with the word 'three' written on it.
"I want you to admire my most precious collection. It took me a lot of effort to get it, you know? I had to plan for a long time to get this masterpiece!"
With a puff, a cloud of smoke cleared away, revealing a familiar face that left Chiyo and Ebizo completely shocked.
"This, this is..."
"How is it possible?"
Chiyo and Ebizo were stunned, and their old bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
"The Third... Kazekage…"
The Third Kazekage puppet moved awkwardly, staring at them with dead eyes.
Coldly, Sasori commented: "Too bad I didn't manage to add the Fourth Kazekage to my collection. I tried several times, but never got around to it."
Chiyo and Ebizo's expressions hardened.
"Huh!" Chiyo sighed deeply and said: "Brother, go help Kirigakure, I'll deal with him."
Ebizo frowned. "Sister!"
"Go!" Chiyo's voice was erratic, as if it would be blown away by the wind.
Ebizo looked at Chiyo deeply, nodded slightly, and left here. "Sasori, everything is my fault. Now, I want to make up for the mistakes I made."
"Atonement?" Sasori saw Chiyo's plan at a glance and couldn't help laughing, then said: "Old woman, according to what you said, then you should help Amegakure. During the World War, these small shinobi villages were the most damaged, right?"
"Amegakure suffered especially; it was on the brink of destruction several times."
Chiyo remained calm. She slowly took out several kunai, which with a subtle movement of her fingers became linked with threads of chakra.
"Sasori, let me see how much you have improved."
"Finishing you won't be a problem!" Sasori's face took on a sinister expression.
The Third Kazekage's puppet trembled under his control, moving mechanically.
[Swoosh!]
A round of kunai flew out.
The Third Kazekage's puppet barely moved a finger, deflecting the weapons with ease.
"It's useless!" Chiyo sighed and slowly took out three scrolls.
"Huh?" Sasori was a little surprised. "Grandma Chiyo, are you crazy? You actually..."
"Why? It's weird?" Chiyo smiled and said: "Aren't these your most proud works?"
[Bang!]
Three puppets appeared in the white smoke.
Karasu, Kuroari and Sanshouo.
"Masterpieces?" Sasori laughed disdainfully. "They were just toys back then. I'm on a completely different level now."
"What's more..." Sasori looked at the puppet of the Third Kazekage and said: "No puppet can compare with the Third Kazekage. Oh, I'm wrong. Uchiha Funan might be able to do it, but unfortunately, I can't beat him and can't make him the most perfect puppet."
There was a trace of disappointment in his tone.
"So, let's see." Chiyo smiled and moved her chakra threads. Her puppets launched themselves towards Sasori.
Sasori controlled the Third Kazekage and did not hesitate to confront them.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides immediately.
Although the three puppets were Sasori's creations, he quickly realized something.
These three puppets were all transformed by Chiyo.
"What a pity." Sasori sneered. "No matter how much you've modified them, they can't compare to the foundation the Third Kazekage has."
His attacks became more aggressive.
Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield...
Mei led the Kiri-nin in a fierce attack against the White Zetsu.
They already had the advantage, but now, with their renewed momentum, Kirigakure pounced like a pack of hounds, forcing the White Zetsu to constantly retreat.
The White Zetsu's greatest strength was their ability to transform into the enemies they faced.
However, in this battle, Obito was not willing to reveal that ace up his sleeve.
He only used them as combat tools, sacrificing them no matter how many fell.
The only thing that mattered was stopping Kirigakure. He didn't expect the White Zetsu to win the battle.
With this strategy in mind, the White Zetsu began to fight with everything they had.
