Chapter 148: Nine-Tails Unleashed

"Get ready, everyone!" Funan looked at the Uchiha jonin in front of him, smiled and said: "I have a feeling that the decisive battle is about to begin. After the success, Konoha will belong to the Uchiha."

These words ignited fervor in the eyes of many Uchiha. Though there were a few who still yearned for peace.

Funan said: "Konoha has had four Hokage, all of them from the Senju lineage or directly related to them. Why can't there be an Uchiha Hokage? Look at how Sarutobi Hiruzen has led Konoha to disaster. Do you really expect him to suddenly repent and do the right thing?"

"Take the lives of all the clan members in exchange for your little bit of mercy, disgusting!"

After saying that, Funan turned and left.

Surprisingly, Uchiha Shisui was the first to stand up.

He looked at the Uchiha present and said calmly: "Don't talk about the overall situation. If Sarutobi Hiruzen and others had the overall situation, they would have given up the position of Hokage long ago. I don't believe that there is anyone in Konoha who is more suitable to be the Hokage than Uchiha Funan."

"What's the result?"

"They'd rather appoint Akimichi Torifu as interim Hokage than give the opportunity to an Uchiha."

After saying that, he also left.

The remaining jonin looked at each other in bewilderment.

Fugaku's eyes widened as well.

Shisui, would actually say such a thing?

Although, after the last assassination, Shisui has changed a lot.

But, that much?

Shisui's words were also heard by Funan. And he was somewhat surprised.

"Could it be..." Funan covered his eyes and murmured: "Could it be that my pupil technique has affected Shisui? This possibility is very high. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is known as the strongest illusion. It only represents the power of this illusion, and it does not mean that he can effectively resist illusions."

Funan's technique is always active, constantly influencing those around him.

If this is the case...

Funan silently began to calculate.

…

Right now, outside a casino in a small town in the Land of Fire.

Tsunade looked at the ANBU in front of her with anger.

The ANBU knelt on one knee without raising his head.

"Did Akimichi Torifu really say that?" Tsunade said coldly.

"Yes." The ANBU whispered. "Recently, too many things have happened in Konoha. It is said that Jiraiya-sama has become an elder of Konoha."

"Jiraiya? An elder of Konoha?" Tsunade had an expression of disbelief. She could hardly imagine that the pervert could become an elder.

So, something really happened in Konoha.

The ANBU continued: "Mitokado Homura is dead. He committed suicide when Danzo-sama was chasing him."

Tsunade's breathing stagnated.

Old man, what are you doing?

Tsunade's face was gloomy and uncertain.

There was no doubt that, at that moment, Konoha was in the midst of great chaos.

"Okay!" Tsunade made a decision quickly and said coldly: "I'll go back and see what you have done to Konoha!"

"Yes!"

...

Again, something unexpected happened.

After learning of Mitokado Homura's death, the entire shinobi world began to grow uneasy.

Iwagakure and Kumogakure concentrated their forces on a large scale.

Sunagakure was also restless.

Only Kirigakure is still fighting to the death within itself.

When Akimichi Torifu heard this news, his head almost exploded.

There are many smart people in Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

An elder of Konoha has died due to the village's internal strife. Would they not act?

At this moment, Konoha's internal struggle is about to reach its peak.

Of course, in the face of external pressure, Konoha's internal conflicts might subside due to the pressure.

This is something that many know.

But if all this external pressure is concentrated on the Uchiha clan, will the internal fighting in Konoha stop?

It is likely to intensify!

The spies of each village had already delivered the intelligence to each village.

The power of the Third Hokage faction has been reduced again and again, and their strength has severely declined.

Although the power of Uchiha has also declined, with Uchiha Funan, that decline can be almost ignored.

The power of Ino-Shika-Chou is constantly increasing.

Based on these, Iwagakure and Kumogakure decided to send troops.

They want to deal with Uchiha!

If they attack the Uchiha, would the Third Hokage let this opportunity pass?

Absolutely not!

For their own lives, they will also attack the Uchiha.

Because of a Mitokado Homura, the situation in the entire shinobi world began to change dramatically.

The small countries that just breathed a sigh of relief because of the truce are now simply scolding this Mitokado Homura to death.

But, where did this Mitokado Homura come from?

Before, no one had heard of him. How has he become so important now?

Because of him, the Fourth Great Shinobi War is about to break out!

Isn't this nonsense!?

Torifu was stunned when he received the news.

When Shikaku explained to him that this was all because of Homura's death, he couldn't believe it.

Shikaku helped him analyze it for a long time before he suddenly understood.

In life, he had a high position and could command thousands of men, but he was never valued.

Especially among the Jonin, they looked down on Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

…

"Roaaar!" A roar of anger echoed throughout the village.

Everyone looked at the strange beast with an ominous aura in horror.

"Why is this happening?" Jiraiya exclaimed.

"What's going on?" After receiving the news, Torifu rushed over quickly. Looking at everything that happened in front of him, he couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Nine-tailed Fox? Why? Is there a problem with the seal again?"

Jiraiya's face turned pale, and he said: "Kurozai!"

"Kurozai?" Torifu thought for a moment and said: "I remember there was such a Jonin. What happened to him?"

"He did it."

Jiraiya, with a cold expression, said: "Just as he crossed paths with Naruto, he suddenly attacked him, causing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto to lose control."

"Roaaar!" Another roar echoed.

Behind Naruto, four tails had already appeared.

Jiraiya turned to Torifu and said: "We must stop him!"

"Of course!" Torifu looked around, frowning, and asked: "Where are the Uchiha?"

"Here!" An Uchiha Chunin ran over.

"Just you?" Torifu was shocked and angry.

Suddenly, Torifu understood and cursed internally.

The Uchiha chunin, however, kept his head down, showing obedience to the Hokage's orders.

Torifu gritted his teeth and was about to give an order.

"Torifu!" Hiruzen walked over and said with a serious look: "We can't let the Uchiha get close to the Nine-Tails. We're still not sure if this is the Uchiha's doing."

"Okay!" Torifu said straightforwardly: "Then you and Danzo go. Where is Danzo?" Torifu looked around and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't tell me he's gone to watch the Uchiha again!"

Hiruzen choked and said helplessly: "I don't know where he went?"

"You do not know?" Torifu shouted angrily: "Bring him here immediately."

"Okay!"

"Wait, where are you going? Hiruzen, you stay and fight the Nine-Tails with me!" Torifu glanced at Hiruzen who was trying to leave and said coldly: "Jiraiya, Hiruzen, the three of us go and see if we can control the Nine-Tails. If not..."

"We should bring Uchiha Funan here now!" Jiraiya said coldly and then lunged towards the Nine-Tails.

Torifu, with a grim face, before following Jiraiya, looked coldly at Hiruzen and said: "If you dare to do the same thing you did during the Night of the Nine-Tails Attack, you'll see what I do to you."

"Roar!" Naruto let out a beastly roar.

[Swoosh!]

At the same time Jiraiya's long hair wrapped around him.

Naruto, with a violent atmosphere, waved his claws wildly.

The white hair was cut immediately.

"Naruto, calm down." Jiraiya retracted the white hair and looked at Naruto, his face full of pain.

After so much time together, Jiraiya had already come to see Naruto as his own disciple, as his own grandson.

Naruto looked at him coldly. With a boom, his arm suddenly stretched out and struck the spot where Jiraiya was with a palm.

[Boom!]

A huge palm print appeared on the ground.

In a cloud of white smoke, Jiraiya disappeared.

At that moment, hands appeared under Naruto's feet, grabbing him and dragging him underground.

"Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"

Naruto looked down, and the chakra began to stir violently. The four tails turned into sharp swords that stabbed into the ground.

[Bang!]

At that moment, Hiruzen arrived and struck the tails with his staff.

"Multi-Size Technique!" Torifu shouted in fury.

A huge fist fell from the sky and hit Naruto hard.

[Boom!]

The Nine-Tails' chakra expanded, forming a shield that blocked the blow.

"Get down!" Torifu shouted, and with his other hand, holding a huge long stick, he smashed it down fiercely.

The Nine-Tails' chakra tried to resist but was scattered by the fierce blow.

Naruto was buried by the impact.

"Roar!"

A roar echoed and from the rubble, Naruto emerged. The pressure radiated from Naruto in all directions creating hurricanes. He had entered the four-tailed form version 2.
