TUS Chapter 212: When in Doubt, Explosive Tags!
🕑 Added 2024-10-18 15:03:43 +0000 UTCAfter hearing Jiraiya's question, Funan responded with a laugh.
"How to fight? How else can we fight? In the most violent way possible, obtaining victory!"
With a decisive gesture, Funan ordered the attack.
A large number of shinobi began their offensive. Their attack was simple and direct: explosive tags. All they had to do was find a way to launch them to the other side.
After understanding, Jiraiya was a little stunned.
"Hokage-sama, how many explosive tags do you have?"
"For this battle, I took out 30 million explosive tags!"
Jiraiya was speechless, his jaw dropped.
Tsunade's eyes were also wide open.
"Hokage-sama..." Tsunade suddenly said: "If all we need to do is send the explosive tags to the other side and detonate them, I don't think there's anyone better suited to the task than me, right?"
Funan looked at Tsunade, understood her idea, and said: "There is someone more suitable."
"Anybody else?"
"Me!"
Tsunade was speechless.
"But forget it..." Funan waved his hand and said: "I still have to deal with Onoki, this credit will be handed over to you."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" Tsunade said, though her tone lacked the enthusiasm she had initially shown. What had initially seemed like a good idea, now didn't seem so exciting.
"Summoning Technique!"
Tsunade concentrated her chakra and summoned Katsuyu.
"Lady Tsunade?" Katsuyu asked, watching Tsunade curiously before looking around. After a few seconds of sensing the atmosphere, she raised her head in surprise. "Wow, Funan... How interesting! Has war come? Are you going to send me to the battlefield?"
Tsunade felt depressed again. Although Katsuyu called her Lady Tsunade, her tone when referring to Funan was closer and more familiar.
"Exactly." Funan said with a smile.
"Katsuyu..." Tsunade ordered in a deep voice: "Split up. I need your clones to take all these explosive tags to the other side and detonate them."
Seeing the sheer amount of explosive tags, even Katsuyu, with all her experience, was momentarily paralyzed. Then, she began to split up, creating small slugs that carried the explosive tags towards the enemy.
"That's a good plan." Jiraiya commented, impressed.
Funan glanced at him and said: "Do you know what my original plan was?"
Jiraiya and Tsunade instinctively began to decline in momentum.
Funan didn't leave them in suspense for long. "My plan was for all the shinobi to use the shadow clone technique and rush into battle. When they couldn't fight anymore... they would blow themselves up!"
Funan clapped his hands and gave the order.
Suddenly, countless shinobi began to use the Shadow Clone Technique.
"Kill!" Funan ordered forcefully.
A loud hum echoed through the air, and a gigantic construction appeared in front of the Konoha troops.
Jiraiya's mouth opened wide again.
Tsunade was also surprised and said: "Is this the trick of Iwagakure? Damn, if they use this thing, our explosive tags..."
Earth Release: Great Moving Earth Core
That was one of Iwagakure's ninjutsu, and it was especially effective against a massive attack of explosive tags.
"Attack!" Onoki shouted.
In response, the Iwa-nin standing atop the giant mound of earth began making seals.
"Earth Release..."
Hundreds of ninjutsu rained down from the sky. At the same time, more earth release ninjutsu began to rise from the ground beneath the feet of the Konoha shinobi.
Although many tried to dodge, the number of attacks was overwhelming. Despite their efforts, several Konoha shinobi were hit, suffering significant casualties in this first exchange.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Funan activated the Mangekyo Sharingan and the next moment the Susanoo began to form.
"Summoning Technique!"
The gigantic Three Tails appeared.
"Good boy!" Jiraiya's jaw almost dropped.
Funan, this guy, actually turned the tailed beast into his own summoning beast?
Jiraiya had some concerns in his heart.
Sometimes, when the Hokage is too powerful, it can also be a headache.
However, considering what Funan had done, he relaxed again.
Tsunade's brows were also furrowed.
She had no idea about this.
Funan's summoned beast had always been Katsuyu. If she now had a new summon, Katsuyu should have informed her, but she didn't.
What had Funan done to gain Katsuyu's favor so much?
"Three-tail, do it!"
Funan shouted, and a scarlet light was condensing on his hand.
The Three-Tails opened its mouth and fired a Tailed Beast Ball towards the enemy's gigantic mound of land.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
A white flash crossed the sky, and, with a violent shake, the Tailed Beast Ball was neutralized.
"Onoki, I knew you were here!"
Funan sneered.
"Yasaka Blood Magatama!"
A destructive power, no less terrifying than the Tailed Beast Ball, flew straight towards the Iwa-nin legion.
Various ninjutsu surged out, clashing against the Magatama, but they didn't have much effect.
Although Dust Release could stop Magatama, it required time and preparation.
[Boom!]
Finally, the Magatama hit the Great Moving Earth Core created by the Iwa-nin legion, creating a huge hole.
"Huh?"
Funan was a little surprised that it didn't break at once. The next moment he began to gather another Yasaka Blood Magatama.
The Three-Tails received the order and also prepared another Tailed Beast Ball.
Seeing this, Onoki was so angry that he almost jumped up and cursed.
Onoki made a prompt decision and said: "Let one legion hold the Great Moving Earth Core and withdraw the others. Also bring Han here."
"Yes!"
Kitsuchi was stunned just after receiving the order. He looked ahead in astonishment.
"What's wrong?" Onoki turned his head hurriedly.
There they saw a small slug slowly crawling towards them.
Onoki's pupils shrank violently.
There were a large number of explosive tags on the slug.
"Damn Uchiha Funan!"
[Boom!]
Accompanied by Onoki's roar, explosions began to occur throughout the formations of the Iwa-nin legions.
A little slug resting on Funan's shoulder spoke: "More than 90% of my clones have exploded."
"More than 90%?"
"Yes, Iwagakure is worthy of being one of the five major shinobi villages. The shinobi under its command reacted quickly, and some of my clones were killed."
There was some helplessness in the slug's words.
"Well done, Katsuyu, thanks for your effort!"
"You're welcome!"
Tsunade looked at them in disbelief.
You are my summoning beast!
You were summoned by me.
What are you doing now?
"Forward, kill!" Funan gave the order, leading the charge.
His target was Onoki.
The Konoha shinobi, explosive tags in hand, charged.
At that moment a shrill horn sounded.
Suddenly, a large number of Iwa-nin separated from the formations.
"Haha, Onoki kid, where are you?"
With a resounding laugh, Uchiha Funan descended from the sky. While laughing loudly, he launched himself straight into the Great Moving Earth Core.
Onoki, who was about to go to battle, was startled when he heard this voice.
Although the tone was somewhat different, it really seemed like he had seen that person again.
That nightmare!
One that had haunted him for countless nights. Even after that person died, that shadow still appeared before his eyes.
It was his greatest shame, a scar on his life that he could never erase.
"Father!" Kitsuchi shouted, awakening Onoki from his trance.
Onoki gritted his teeth and said: "Uchiha... Funan!"
[Swoosh!]
"Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique!"
Onoki shot into the sky.
"Kitsuchi, act according to the plan!"
"Yes!" Kitsuchi said loudly. "Father, please be careful!"
…
Uchiha Funan was standing on the top of a gigantic rise of land, looking down coldly.
“Eh?” Funan was taken aback for a moment and muttered, “A flying shinobi? Could it be that brat Onoki?”
[Swoosh!]
The next second, Onoki appeared in front of him, staring at him coldly.
"Hey, Onoki brat, long time no see!"
"Shut up, Uchiha Funan!" Onoki shouted angrily, "You actually dared to use the tailed beast in the first battle, good, good, it seems that you are ready to fight to the death?"
"Ahahaha!" Funan laughed out loud, staring at Onoki, his eyes were full of spirit, and said: "Feel the pain, Onoki!"
A crimson fire snake lunged towards him.
Onoki quickly dodged, coldly replying: “We’ll see who feels the pain!”
"Dust Release: Original Realm Peeling Technique!"
The battle between the two Kage had officially begun.
Onoki knew he was no match for Funan, so he stayed in the air the whole time.
Funan's Susanoo and Fire Release constantly clashed with Onoki's Dust Release.
Meanwhile, the battle between the two shinobi armies had taken a sharp turn.
The Great Moving Earth Core was destroyed by countless explosive tags. In desperation, the Iwa-nin could only completely abandon the legion formations and fight with the Konoha shinobi.
Fortunately, the Iwa-nin outnumbered the Konoha shinobi and were not afraid.
The Iwa-nin were full of confidence.
So, they witnessed a scene that they would never forget in their lifetime.
Iwaishi, an elite jonin with great ambitions, was among them.
When he heard that the Fourth Great Shinobi War was going to break out, he felt nothing but excitement.
War was perfect!
With war, he would have his chance.
If he excelled in battle, Onoki might notice. Maybe he would even accept him as his disciple.
What worried Onoki the most?
Not having a successor.
And he, Iwaishi, could be that successor. He could become the Fourth Tsuchikage!
With ambition and hope for his future, Iwaishi charged into battle.
But soon her body became paralyzed with fear.
What he saw was an endless stream of explosive tags.
As soon as he appeared, he was detected by the Konoha shinobi. Almost instinctively, they threw kunai with explosive seals attached.
“So many? How am I supposed to dodge them?”
Before he could react, everything went black, and he lost consciousness.
Iwaishi was unlucky because he was the first to rush out, and the shinobi of Konoha were looking for a target.
So, he was locked in at once.
A shower of explosive tags reduced it to ashes in an instant.
Not a drop of it was left.
