Naruto: Uchiha's Unserious Saga-Chapter 357: The Sage’s Mom Says Hi

"Madara-sama, this isn’t going to work!" Black Zetsu shrieked.

"It will work," Madara sneered.

Multiple Truth-Seeking Orbs flew out and intercepted the attacks.

Just a little longer—

"Naruto!"

Funan turned and yelled, "What the hell are you waiting for? Blast that thing!"

"Got it!"

Naruto immediately performed the Shadow Clone Technique.

A total of nine Narutos—each one launching a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Nine Tailed Beasts unleashed their full power simultaneously.

"What the hell?!"

Even Madara was dumbfounded.

Where the hell did this guy get so much chakra?

Even he couldn’t sustain this kind of output for long.

Yet Naruto had already used several powerful techniques since the beginning of the battle—

Was he not even feeling the drain?

This chakra volume... Don’t tell me he’s Hashirama’s illegitimate child?

Wait a second—

Uzumaki?

This guy’s from the Uzumaki clan—how could I have forgotten that?

Hold on—

It’s not just him... I feel like I’ve forgotten a lot of people... and a lot of things!

Madara shook his head, a glint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

[Rumble—!]

The nine Tailed Beast Bombs smashed the newly formed moon to pieces.

During the chaos, Funan blocked several of Madara’s Truth-Seeking Orbs.

Sasuke redirected a few as well.

As for Tobirama and Minato—they were basically just spectators at this point.

This level of combat was simply beyond them.

Hashirama, at least, managed to brute-force his way through two of the Truth-Seeking Orbs.

"Madara-sama!"

Seeing the moon destroyed, Black Zetsu suddenly said, "I still have one last method!"

"Let’s hear it."

Madara turned his gaze to Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu slowly approached Madara.

"That method is—"

[Smack!]

Just as he reached out, his hand was seized by Madara.

The Rinnegan in Madara’s eyes locked onto Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu... Who exactly are you? What is it that you’re really trying to do?"

Black Zetsu sighed helplessly.

"So you’ve started to doubt me... I thought things would go more smoothly than this."

Madara stared at him coldly.

"Heh... Strange, isn’t it?" Black Zetsu chuckled softly. Despite his hand being caught, he didn’t seem concerned at all. "You treated Obito as your pawn—naturally, someone else could treat you as a pawn too."

Madara didn’t get angry. "Who?"

"Of course, it’s—"

"The Sage’s mom!"

Funan, watching from the side, couldn’t stand the theatrics anymore and blurted it out.

"The Sage’s mom?"

Madara froze again.

"The Sage...?"

"That’s right. The Sage—the legendary Sage of Six Paths. The one Black Zetsu wants to resurrect is none other than the Sage’s mother. Of course, that also makes her his mother. As for the rest, I won’t bother explaining. It’s a long, complicated story. All you need to know is: Black Zetsu is using you as a sacrifice."

"Hehehe!"

Black Zetsu let out a sinister laugh.

"Uchiha Funan, you really do know quite a lot."

Madara frowned and stared at Black Zetsu.

"Funan, if what you’re saying is true... doesn’t that make this guy the Sage’s brother? With that level of power? He’s supposed to be brothers with the Sage of Six Paths?"

Black Zetsu: ...

Funan nearly burst out laughing.

Strictly speaking, Black Zetsu’s birth was the result of Kaguya forcibly giving birth. freёweɓnovel_com

She didn’t want a third child, but she was made to have one.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya probably wasn’t too thrilled about that either.

"Hehehe!"

Black Zetsu grinned wickedly.

"Madara, your time is up. It’s time for you to exit the stage."

"Is that so?"

Madara sneered.

"You think I’m finished? Who could possibly make that happen? You?"

"Yes—me!"

Black Zetsu continued laughing. As he did, black curse markings began to spread from the hand Madara was holding, creeping slowly across Madara’s body.

"What... what is this...?"

Madara’s brow furrowed. He tried to pull away from Black Zetsu’s hand—but discovered they were somehow fused together.

"Madara, you fool," Black Zetsu said coldly. "You were so careful to leave a contingency plan inside Obito... so why did you think I wouldn’t do the same to you?"

"Oh!"

Funan’s eyes lit up in realization. He gave a small nod toward Sasuke.

[Whoosh!]

In the next instant, the hand Black Zetsu was gripping turned into a tree branch.

The Madara standing before him—had become a wooden log.

Black Zetsu stiffly turned his head to look at Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke gave a faint smile.

Substitution Technique—Rinnegan Version.

"How’s that?"

Funan looked at Black Zetsu with a bright grin. "Surprised? Shocked? Come on, Black Zetsu—your ridiculously long life has been far too dull. So I thought I’d bring you a little entertainment!"

"Uchiha Funan!!!"

Black Zetsu roared. "Must you insist on being my enemy?!"

"No shit!" Funan rolled his eyes. "You want me dead, you want to destroy my family, my clan, and everyone under me—and I’m just supposed to lie down and take it? What kind of arrogant crap is that? You really think age gives you a free pass? Believe it or not, in a few years I might even get her pregnant for the fourth time! Oh wait—third, technically. Hagoromo and Hamura were twins."

Black Zetsu fumed in silent rage.

He looked around.

Madara was just a few meters away.

After all, with Sasuke’s ocular power, it wasn’t possible to move Madara too far. The only reason he’d been moved this far was because Madara had gone along with it.

But for Black Zetsu, even a few meters might as well have been a death sentence.

"Black Zetsu."

Madara’s voice was low and heavy, his killing intent radiating from his eyes. "Have you decided how you want to die?"

Disgrace.

Utter humiliation.

He, Uchiha Madara, second only to the Sage of Six Paths—

Had actually been outwitted by this thing.

At that moment, Madara wanted nothing more than to rip Black Zetsu’s heart out with his bare hands.

Damn it—Hashirama was just around the corner!

And you dare make a fool out of me like this?!

Even though he had been beaten badly, Madara didn’t think it was a big deal.

He believed it was simply because Funan had more people—teaming up against him.

One-on-one, he didn’t believe he would lose.

Black Zetsu twitched at the corner of his mouth and muttered, "If I say I haven’t decided, will you hold off on killing me?"

"Pfft!" Funan burst out laughing. "Damn, Black Zetsu, you’re a real talent. You can even say something like that."

Black Zetsu shot him a furious glare.

If it weren’t for this bastard, he would’ve already succeeded.

His mother would’ve been resurrected.

He wouldn’t have to bow to anyone ever again.

He was Black Zetsu! Brother to the Sage of Six Paths, child of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, little prince of the shinobi world!

And yet?

He’d spent thousands of years in hiding, never even daring to show his face.

Was that fair?

Just thinking about it made his chest ache.

Black Zetsu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Madara, let’s cooperate. If you and I join forces, we still have a chance to win this."

"What do you think?" came Madara’s frigid, merciless reply.

"Sigh..." Black Zetsu let out a long sigh. "Then I guess there’s no other choice."

"Madara, after all these years... even though I’ve always looked down on you, now that we’re parting ways, I actually feel a little reluctant!"

Upon hearing that, more than a few people instinctively snuck glances at Uchiha Funan.

Why did that line sound exactly like something he’d say?

Besides Uchiha Funan, who else could deliver such utterly infuriating lines with a straight face?

Just look—Madara was fuming, veins bulging on his forehead.

[Clap!]

Black Zetsu brought his hands together and formed a hand seal.

To everyone’s shock, Madara suddenly began forming hand seals as well.

"Damn it!"

Madara’s face twisted in horror and fury. "Black Zetsu, what have you done?!"

He couldn’t control his body.

And that hand seal—damn it all!

"What did I do?" Black Zetsu said mockingly. "Madara, did you really forget? That body you’re using—I prepared it for you. Did you really think I wouldn’t leave a little something in there?"

[Whoosh!]

Funan seemed to teleport—appearing right in front of Black Zetsu with a black rod forming in his hand, which he thrust toward him.

He intended to end Black Zetsu in a single move.

He had no intention of dragging this out any longer.

Everyone who needed to show up had already arrived.

As for Kaguya, after reaching the Six Paths level, he realized that it was too dangerous to summon Kaguya for now.

There was no longer any need for her to make an appearance.

The matter of the third time getting her pregnant could wait.

Once Madara and Black Zetsu were eliminated, Funan could focus entirely on dealing with the Ōtsutsuki brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura.
