TUS Chapter 183: Allies, Enemies, and Unseen Forces
🕑 Added 2024-09-01 16:12:35 +0000 UTCWhile Onoki and the Raikage were seething with anger due to Funan's infuriating expression. Suddenly, a shrill scream seemed to resound throughout the entire Kumogakure, followed by a blue flame that shot up into the sky.
In everyone's perception, they could clearly sense that a powerful chakra was rapidly fading.
The Raikage stood up suddenly. This time, without anyone needing to say anything, he disappeared in an instant.
Funan looked surprised.
Could it be that Orochimaru's target this time was the Two-Tails?
If so, everything would make sense.
Sasori and Deidara, along with hundreds of Oto shinobi and two large summoned beasts, are causing trouble on the front lines, drawing everyone's attention.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru takes advantage of the situation to attack the Two-Tails.
There are most likely others helping him.
"Haha! The Raikage is also anxious." After the Raikage left, Onoki slowly stood up.
"What's happening?" Funan looked at Onoki with interest and said: "Old man, are you going to take action? Haha, if you move now, the Raikage will be very angry."
Onoki showed clear disdain. He stood up suddenly and rushed to the battle area of the Eight-Tails.
If the Raikage has acted, that means the battle is about to end, so there's no point in sitting around any longer. Therefore he can't let Deidara go.
Funan chuckled.
"Two beautiful ladies, may I invite you to have a drink?" Funan stood up, with a confident smile on his face, and said to Mei and Pakura.
"No!" Pakura refused without thinking.
"I don't have any problems." Mei said with a smile: "I heard that the Hokage is the strongest shinobi in the world. I'm very curious to meet him."
"Hahaha, the strongest shinobi in the world?" Funan couldn't help but laugh and said: "The shinobi world is huge, it's full of hidden talents. Who dares to claim to be the strongest?"
As he spoke, a table was placed in front of him. Funan took out a bottle of wine he had prepared in advance and poured a glass for Mei.
A cold, piercing gaze was directed at him.
Funan quickly poured a drink for Pakura as well.
A hint of surprise flashed across Mei's eyes. She looked at Pakura, then at Funan, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Come, try the wine I brewed. How about it?!"
Mei took a sip and said with a smile: "Not bad, it tastes completely different from sake. I didn't expect that the Hokage-sama has this skill."
Funan smiled slightly and said: "I have thought about it for a long time. When I stop being the Hokage, I will open a small tavern."
Mei laughed and said: "Hokage-sama is less than twenty years old, he still has at least another twenty years left in office. How come he is already thinking about life after retirement?"
"I'm tired." Funan said helplessly: "No one told me being Hokage would be so tiring. I think it's time to start training a successor."
Mei smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously. Instead, she got straight to the point. Of course, she wasn't there just to drink, she had other purposes.
"Business?"
Funan looked at Mei in surprise and said: "Kirigakure wants to do business with Konoha?"
"Yes." Mei said with a smile. "Kirigakure has many specialties, but the sales channels have been affected. If Konoha is willing to help, it will be a win-win situation."
Funan touched his chin and said nothing.
"The idea is good, but the distance is a problem." Funan spread his hands and said: "We can only do this slowly."
Ming smiled and said: "Flame Chamber of Commerce."
Funan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Mizukage, what do you mean?"
Ming smiled and said: "In the past two years, there has been a large chamber of commerce that has been active around Kirigakure and has made a lot of money from us. Hokage-sama, who do you think is the owner of this chamber of commerce?"
Pakura looked at Funan in surprise. She had also heard of this chamber of commerce. It emerged from nowhere and quickly expanded to become one of the largest chambers of commerce in the shinobi world.
Judging from what Mei said, this chamber of commerce belongs to Funan?
At least it has something to do with him.
Funan tapped the table lightly, and after a long silence, he slowly said: "How do you want to cooperate?"
Ming smiled even more deeply.
If Kirigakure wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of other shinobi villages.
Kirigakure has been isolated from the world for too long, falling behind in many ways compared to the other shinobi villages.
This cannot continue.
If the gap becomes too great, Kirigakure's fate will be destruction.
Thus, after stabilizing Kirigakure, Mei decided to seek cooperation with other shinobi villages in order to fully develop her village.
...
[Swish! Swish! Swish!]
One after another, the Kumo shinobi appeared beside Funan and the others.
Funan looked up.
A simple gesture, but one that put enormous pressure on the Kumo shinobi.
"What do you want?"
"Hokage-sama!"
Dodai stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The damage caused by the enemies has exceeded our expectations. We are concerned about your safety. Please allow us to stay here to protect you."
Funan laughed softly.
Funan's laughter made Dodai break out in a cold sweat. If the Hokage refused their offer, what would they do? Could they force him to stay? Impossible!
The situation in Kumogakure was quite delicate. If Funan got out of control, they could lose half the village. Damn enemies, they have certainly been planning this for a long time, and besides, someone is helping them from within. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to attack key points in Kumo.
Funan fixed a cold gaze on Dodai, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The atmosphere became tense.
Mei and Pakura lowered their heads, their faces changing expressions.
Is Funan really going to do something?
The air was getting thick and heavy. Dodai was sweating profusely. Mei and Pakura were getting more and more anxious.
Suddenly...
"Woof!"
"..."
"Ahem!" Funan coughed a few times and said: "My throat was uncomfortable, but it's much better now."
Pakura glared at Funan and had an urge to pick up a bottle of wine and smash it on the guy's head.
Mei had a gloomy face and was speechless.
Pakura looked at the others.
Dodai nearly jumped in fright at that bark. The other Kumo shinobi already had their hand seals ready, kunai and shuriken in hand.
The Uchiha guards, however, remained calm. For them, the Hokage's actions were completely normal.
Kakashi, for his part, looked at Funan with an expression loaded with meaning.
"Ahem, it's hard for you." Funan coughed twice again, looked at Dodai, and said with a smile: "The three of us here must have put a lot of pressure on you, right? Are your hearts beating non-stop? That jump just now was a natural performance!"
Pakura and Mei laughed angrily.
Dodai forced a smile. "You are very funny, Hokage-sama."
Funan waved his hand, motioning for Dodai and the others to move away a little, then sat down with Mei and Pakura to drink and chat.
For Funan everything was going well, but elsewhere, things were getting complicated.
After the Tsuchikage rushed to the battlefield, Deidara saw this and turned around and ran without saying a word.
"Deidara!" The Tsuchikage shouted angrily. "Stop it right now!"
Deidara ran faster. "Only a fool would stop!"
"You..." Onoki was so angry that his eyes went dark.
Onoki chased him even harder, and Deidara ran even faster.
Sasori, who was holding back the Eight-Tails below, snorted angrily. It's not possible to deal with a monster like the Eight-Tails alone.
He didn't want to die yet.
He glanced around.
The crazy giant snake was also suppressed and was about to be dealt with.
He laughed in a low voice.
Kumogakure could not be underestimated. Despite all their preparations, they were about to be defeated in a short period of time.
"That's enough." Sasori looked at the Kumo shinobi surrounding him.
Then, hundreds of Sasori clones appeared around him, beginning to wreak havoc.
The Kumo shinobi, seeing this, became enraged and began using all kinds of ninjutsu, determined to eliminate these enemies as quickly as possible.
[Bang!]
An enemy was destroyed, revealing the machine inside.
A Kumo shinobi was stunned and, gritting his teeth, exclaimed: "Puppets? Everyone, be careful, these are... Ahh!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the destroyed puppet self-destructed.
In an instant, the Kumo shinobi was blown to pieces.
"Damn them!"
"Kill them!"
"Watch out for their self-destruction!"
The Kumo shinobi, enraged, attacked with greater ferocity and determination.
In the blink of an eye, all the puppets were smashed into pieces.
Sasori had also disappeared.
In the sky, only Deidara and the Tsuchikage were still flying.
Deidara would occasionally throw out a couple of pieces of explosive clay to keep the Kumo shinobi busy, giving Sasori time to escape.
"Deidara!"
Deidara's actions further infuriated the Tsuchikage. Although he was not as agile in the air as his opponent, he had something up his sleeve...
He clasped his hands together, and Dust Release materialized in his palms.
"Aaaaah! Are you crazy, old man? Are you really going to kill me?"
Deidara screamed in terror as he sent his giant bird swooping down, attempting to use the buildings of Kumo to hide.
"You think you can escape?" Onoki let out a cold laugh and aimed his Dust Release at Deidara.
"Onoki, you dare!"
Killer Bee roared in fury.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Onoki completely ignored Killer Bee, and the Dust Release exploded, engulfing Deidara.
[Boom!]
The next moment, Deidara disappeared.
At the same time, a huge ditch appeared in Kumogakure, as if it had been split in two.
Many Kumo shinobi were trapped, disappearing into nothingness.
Several buildings were divided.

Did he just perform a major AOE inside the village?
