Chapter 323: When Destiny Says You’re Not in the Script
Chapter 323 - 323: When Destiny Says You're Not in the Script
A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan locked onto Funan's battle.
Itachi turned to Naruto and asked, "Are you sure, Naruto?"
"Yes! Absolutely no problem!"
Naruto looked excited.
"Funan-aniki, don't be afraid! I'm here to help you!"
Everyone who heard this fell silent.
"I'm coming too!"
Sasuke said unhappily, "I can help too! I have a role to play in saving Funan-aniki!"
"Well, okay."
Itachi looked at Sasuke, feeling a slight headache, but he didn't object.
To be honest, he didn't want his younger brother using the Mangekyō too much.
Although the side effects were mitigated by the medicine Funan had developed, the pain was still there.
The kind of pain that made it feel like every cell in the body was screaming—enough to kill someone alive.
As for the 'saving' that Sasuke mentioned... Itachi decided to just let him dream.
"Let's do it!"
With Itachi's command, the group that had been waiting in position sprang into action.
Naruto used the power of the Nine-Tails to condense a massive Rasenshuriken.
Sasuke, using Susanoo, formed a gigantic arrow infused with Amaterasu's flames.
Itachi unleashed Yasaka Magatama!
Following Naruto's lead, the team launched their attacks at Uchiha Madara.
At the same time, Funan and Uchiha Madara clashed with their ultimate techniques.
Funan activated the Blood Magatama.
Uchiha Madara commanded the Ten-Tails to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball.
Behind Funan, several tailed beasts also fired their own Tailed Beast Balls at Uchiha Madara!
Several earth-shattering attacks hurtled toward their targets.
But!
Something went wrong midway.
A strange force interfered, throwing all the attacks off course.
Naruto's and the others' attacks veered—heading straight for Funan instead.
Three devastating attacks curved in midair, arcing straight toward Funan.
At the same time, the four tailed beasts' Tailed Beast Balls also changed course—aiming at Funan from behind.
"I@#¥%!"
Funan was utterly dumbfounded.
What the hell is this?!
Do I have that many spies under my command?!
Backstabbing me at the most critical moment?!
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara's attack remained unchanged, still flying toward Funan.
And Funan's attack continued toward Uchiha Madara.
"How is this possible?"
"Why?!"
Everyone watching was stunned.
Had Naruto, Sasuke, and Itachi... along with the four tailed beasts... collectively betrayed him?!
Even Uchiha Madara was momentarily shocked.
What the hell is going on?!
[Boom!]
A shocking explosion sounded.
Heaven and earth were shaking.
Faced with such an attack, Funan and Hashirama's Susanoo Buddha were torn to pieces in an instant.
The two were buried by the explosion immediately.
As for Uchiha Madara, he was only hit by one of Funan's blood magatama, which contained the power of the senjutsu.
"How could it be?"
Itachi was stunned! He murmured absentmindedly: "Why is this happening?"
"Why is this happening?"
Even he couldn't hide his rage at this moment.
He looked at Naruto with a cold gaze and roared: "What have you done?"
All their attacks were carried out under the guidance of Naruto's Sage Mode.
Naruto was also confused.
He was completely paralyzed.
"Brother!" Sasuke stepped forward, blocking Itachi, and said: "There must be other reasons. Naruto can't do such a thing, and he wouldn't do such a thing."
Although he was also shocked, he trusted Naruto more.
Don't ask for reasons — belief is belief.
Facing his younger brother, Itachi restrained his anger.
Looking at the attacks launched by several people with all their strength, Itachi wanted to cry but had no tears.
After a brief rage, he also came back to his senses.
Yes!
Naruto had no reason to do this. Funan launched this battle, to a large extent, to protect Naruto!
What is the reason?
Fuck!
Now it doesn't matter what the reason is, why am I even thinking about this?
"Hokage-sama!" Itachi shouted and rushed over.
"Funan-aniki!"
Naruto and Sasuke also reacted and rushed up.
It's not scary if something happens to the Hokage, but it is scary if something happens to Uchiha Funan.
No matter if it's strength or prestige, Uchiha Funan is too crucial at this moment.
If something happens to him, the Shinobi Alliance will be halfway defeated.
Uchiha Funan himself is a top-level combat force.
Hashirama, Tobirama and Minato were summoned by him with Edo Tensei.
If Funan dies, they will disappear.
After losing them, is it even necessary to fight this battle?
At this moment, the shinobi coalition realized that they must never lose Uchiha Funan.
"Hokage-sama!!!"
They screamed one by one and rushed over.
...
"Cough, cough!"
Funan had a headache!
Good guy!!
Unprepared, getting hit in the face — who can take that?
"Naruto and Sasuke, I treated them well! They actually stabbed me in the back!" Funan complained bitterly, coughing twice and spitting out blood. "And then there's Itachi. I've been grooming him as my successor, and he still dares to stab me in the back!"
"You've got some nerve talking about betrayal! What do you call what you did to me?"
The angry voice of Hashirama sounded.
His body slowly took shape, staring at Funan.
"Why are you angry?" Funan said lazily: "Don't forget, you can't die."
Hashirama laughed angrily and said: "Is that why you used me as a shield?"
In that dangerous moment, Funan didn't hesitate.
All his strength was guarded behind him to block the four Tailed Beast Balls.
As for the front, he grabbed Hashirama and threw him forward.
Hashirama formed a series of Wood Release jutsu in front, and then the whole person was drowned by the attack and turned into powder.
Powder!
Literal powder!
Hashirama was fuming.
It was bad enough you used me as a shield—but you kicked me too!
Funan looked at Senju Hashirama pitifully and said, "First Generation, do you want me to die?"
"I..."
Senju Hashirama didn't say a word.
If anyone was going to die, it couldn't be him!
Besides, Hashirama couldn't die—he was revived with the Edo Tensei.
But that didn't stop him from being annoyed!
He stood aside, deeply frustrated.
While the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, Funan's low voice sounded.
"What happened just now? Do you know, First Generation?"
"I don't know!"
Hashirama frowned and said, "I'm sure that Uchiha brat was trying to help you. But somehow... the attack missed."
Itachi's plan was perfect: concentrate a large amount of Tailed Beast level energy and use Naruto's Sage Mode perception to directly attack Uchiha Madara.
If it worked, they might've sealed Madara in just a few hits.
But something went terribly wrong!
Funan sneered.
And every single attack just 'accidentally' hit me?
Not a single one missed.
Someone definitely guided them!
And who could possibly guide attacks of that scale?
With such precision...
The Sage of the Six Paths!
That damn mutt!
I knew he was shady!
Funan's eyes flashed with coldness.
As for why they targeted him, Funan could already guess.
He was an outsider, an anomaly.
In the original story, Uchiha Funan didn't exist.
In other words, everything deviated from the original path.
I don't know if there is some kind of world power trying to repair it.
However, he was definitely not part of the Six Paths' plan.
The Six Paths' original plan should have allowed Naruto and Sasuke to continue growing and eventually seal his mother!
Uchiha Madara was just a chess piece for resurrecting his mother, and a roadblock that would be smashed on Naruto and Sasuke's path forward!
Now because of his appearance, Naruto and Sasuke have completely become two unimportant little pieces, and Uchiha Madara is about to fail. Can the Six Paths be satisfied?
The key is that the Six Paths likely doesn't understand everything he has done.
As a sage who controls the world, how could he allow the world to get out of control?
It's fine if it develops in a good direction, but what if it goes in a bad one?
Can it be repaired by then?
Unstable factors must be cleared.
Funan said that he understood the Sage of the Six Paths very well, so he had been holding back until now and hadn't unleashed his power.
Senju Hashirama stared at Funan and said, "You seem to know something?"
He's not really stupid!
It's just that there are many things he doesn't want to think about.
With a capable younger brother, why does he have to do everything himself?
Isn't it better to live a comfortable life?
And there are many things that really can't be thought about!
It'll only bring endless trouble to himself!
"Your father is so annoying!"
"What?"
Senju Hashirama was confused.
My father?
He's been dead for many years. How can he still be involved?
Senju Hashirama's brain exploded — he couldn't figure out how this matter could be related to his father.
Funan looked at Hashirama strangely and said, "Strictly speaking, it's not right to say your father. It should be said..."
"Your former father!"
"Get lost!"
Hashirama cursed.
What are you talking about?
Former father?
A father is a father. One moment he is, and the next he is not?
"Is there a third party involved?"
Hashirama asked in a deep voice.
The scene just now was too weird.
If Uchiha Madara really had a different motive and asked Naruto and Sasuke to attack Uchiha Funan, what about the tailed beasts?
Four tailed beasts chose to betray at the same time?
This doesn't make sense!
"Don't worry about it, just pretend that nothing happened!" Funan said lightly. "Let's join forces to seal Uchiha Madara!"
"Don't care?"
"Then what should we do?" Funan spread his hands and said, "Do you know what happened? Do you know who did it?"
"Don't you know?"
"I do!"
"Then why don't you..."
"So, I have to seal Uchiha Madara first!"
"Okay!"
Senju Hashirama sighed, his eyes complicated.
Seal Uchiha Madara?
He and Uchiha Madara are both products of the old era, and they should not have appeared at all.
