Naruto: Uchiha's Unserious Saga-Chapter 361: Playing Dumb to Outsmart a Goddess

Funan frowned. "They still have other uses."

"Impossible!"

Kaguya’s refusal was absolute.

Funan narrowed his eyes, watching her suspiciously. "You’re not just looking for a reason to fight me, are you? If that’s it, then fine—let’s do this properly."

Kaguya’s body paused slightly, and the next moment, her expression returned to blank indifference.

Unfortunately for her, that tiny hesitation didn’t escape the notice of Funan’s Rinnegan.

"Sigh..." He let out a helpless sigh. "Kaguya, is this really necessary?"

[Crack—crack—!]

Bones slowly emerged from Kaguya’s palms.

At the same time, spikes began to grow from her back.

Funan’s ocular power began to activate.

A vast amount of chakra surged forth.

The scarlet-gold armor once again formed around his body.

"Hmph."

Kaguya let out a cold snort. Two bone projectiles shot toward him.

[Whoosh!]

Funan sidestepped with minimal movement, effortlessly dodging the attack.

"Hokage-sama!"

The onlookers let out cries of alarm and rushed over.

"Sasuke!"

Seeing this, Naruto shouted. "I got it!"

Sasuke and Naruto simultaneously unleashed their power—instantly breaking free from their restraints and stepping up to face Kaguya.

"You two..."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Their faces turned a little pale.

Good grief!

So this was the extent of their ’seal’? These two just shrugged it off like it was nothing.

Then what the hell were they doing all that work for earlier?

And those two brats—damn them!

Funan, however, wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

Two beings at the Six Paths level—

Even if they willingly submitted, there was no way a bunch of Kage-levels could keep them sealed.

After breaking free from the seal, Naruto and Sasuke charged at Kaguya.

The space in front of Kaguya twisted, swallowing Naruto’s attack.

In the next instant, Kaguya’s figure vanished, as though she had merged into the very fabric of space.

"Huh?"

Naruto let out a surprised sound.

"She’s gone?"

"Is this a space-time ninjutsu?" Sasuke frowned.

"Be careful!" Funan shouted from below. "Kaguya controls multiple dimensions, and each one has different properties. If she drags you in, you’ll lose the initiative."

A cold glint flashed through Kaguya’s eyes.

"Don’t worry!"

Naruto gave a thumbs-up. "We’re definitely going to defeat her."

"Good kids!" Funan chuckled. "I believe in you."

He looked like he was just short of sparkling teeth.

If they could win, then maybe he only needed to support them from the sidelines?

No need to get involved himself!

"Funan!"

Tobirama couldn’t hold back anymore. "What are you trying to pull again? Hurry up and take her down already."

Funan rolled his eyes.

Did he not want to step in?

Did he not want to end this battle quickly and live a happy life?

You’re just some old bachelor—you wouldn’t understand how much a man with dozens of wives just wants a peaceful life.

Wouldn’t it be way better to spend my days practicing hip movements while cuddling my wives?

But the problem was—he couldn’t!

That damn old Sage of Six Paths—who knew where he was hiding?

If he rushed in and used all his trump cards, what would he do later when it came time to face the Sage?

Ideally, he wouldn’t have to fight at all.

But judging by the few moves the Sage had already made...

Yeah, that was unlikely.

Which meant he had to keep his strength hidden.

Funan’s first eye technique allowed him to temporarily elevate a certain ability to its peak.

Aside from this, Funan had concealed all his other ocular techniques.

The only ability currently exposed was probably his mastery of Yin-Yang Release.

He still had plenty of cards up his sleeve.

However!

He had no idea what the Sage of Six Paths was truly capable of.

Funan glanced at the two brats. He’d considered the idea of sealing them away.

If he sealed both them and their powers... would the Sage lose some of his strength?

Just a passing thought.

That damn old Sage of Six Paths—like he wouldn’t have prepared for something like that?

"Damn Sage."

Funan cursed harshly.

At this point, the Sage had basically taken Danzō’s place.

Tobirama was startled. "What did you say?"

"I said, there’s an even stronger enemy watching us from the shadows!"

Funan rolled his eyes and added, "Tobirama, you’re sharp—tell me, should I be making a move right now?"

"Another one?!"

Tobirama was shocked.

It felt like after he died, the Shinobi World had become something completely unrecognizable.

Damn it all.

Back in his day, his brother and Uchiha Madara already felt beyond human.

And now?

His big brother could barely play a supporting role.

Where was the justice in that?

Tobirama’s lips trembled slightly.

"Who else? Is it someone I know?"

Funan looked Tobirama up and down, silently calculating their connection.

"Sigh!"

Funan let out a helpless sigh and said, "His relationship with you is... a little complicated. His name is the Sage of Six Paths."

Tobirama: "..."

Are you serious right now?

"I don’t know in what way exactly our relationship is complicated, but... are you being serious? The Sage of Six Paths—as in the one from the legends?"

Funan pointed to Senju Hashirama beside them. "What about it being a legend? For many people, isn’t Hashirama just a legend too?"

Tobirama was left speechless.

"Then why would the Sage—"

Funan paused, thought for a moment, then pointed toward the three still fighting—Naruto, Sasuke, and Kaguya. "That’s his mother."

Tobirama had no words left.

He had no idea how Funan knew all of this.

Nor did he know what else Funan might be hiding.

But he could genuinely feel the powerlessness, the helplessness of it all.

At this point, was there even any room left for him to get involved?

No wonder Funan had hidden so much from them.

Even if they knew—what good would it do?

"What do you plan to do?"

Funan replied calmly, "What else can I do? Take everyone and fall back. Wait for my signal. I’ll keep watch here. First, I’ll seal the Sage’s mother... then we’ll see how the Sage reacts."

"Let’s hope this so-called filial son won’t just toss everything aside."

"...Understood."

Tobirama sighed and led the group away.

Funan, meanwhile, continued watching with interest.

This time, in the Naruto–Sasuke vs. Kaguya showdown, Kakashi and Sakura were absent.

But he, a stronger presence, was observing.

Naturally, Kaguya didn’t dare go all out. She was holding back a portion of her power, wary of Funan.

Just earlier, Funan had exposed her ability with a single word. That reminded her of the time not long ago when he’d also neutralized her All-Killing Ash Bones technique.

Clearly—

Funan understood her extremely well.

This raised Kaguya’s guard to the highest level.

In her mind, she had already asked Black Zetsu many times: "Mother, I really don’t know what’s going on! That Uchiha Funan just showed up out of nowhere. He knows everything! Every time I’ve fought him, I’ve come out at a disadvantage. That bastard even keeps doing things that harm others without benefiting himself!"

Black Zetsu’s voice was dripping with grievance.

This was pure suffering!

How could someone like Uchiha Funan even exist? Dealing with him felt like dying and living all at once.

He was supposed to be the prince of the Shinobi World!

Kaguya’s face remained expressionless, but internally, she was full of disdain.

Just look at her three children—

Two betrayed her. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

One was useless!

She was clearly the one who had it the hardest, wasn’t she?

Not a single biological son she could be proud of.

Was she supposed to have another one?

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

Naruto continued his brute-force barrage.

Meanwhile, Sasuke hid behind him, occasionally firing off a sneak attack.

Funan had already explained Kaguya’s attack methods to the two brats just moments ago.

So now, when facing them, Kaguya was simply on the receiving end of the beating.

At last—

Kaguya couldn’t take it anymore.

Chakra erupted from her violently.

[Swish!]

In an instant, everyone was pulled into another dimension.

Funan, being relatively close to them, was brought in as well.

He glanced around and called out, "This is the Gravity Dimension. In here, you’ll be under far greater gravitational force."

Kaguya glared angrily at Funan.

She was certain she didn’t know this man.

So why?

Why did he know her so well?

Facing an opponent like him was simply too dangerous.

In response to her fury, Funan gave her a gentle smile.

Kaguya: "..."

"Amaterasu!"

Sasuke fixed his eyes on Kaguya. With a flash of his Mangekyo, black flames engulfed her entire body.

Kaguya’s body trembled as she dispersed the black flames entirely. In both hands, the All-Killing Ash Bones reappeared.

At the same time, gravity intensified. The two brats were starting to struggle even to stay upright under the immense pressure.

"Die!"

Kaguya’s gaze turned ice cold.
