Chapter 249: Boss, I Miss You

"Two-Tails uses Fury Swipes first!"

"Five-Tails uses Protect, then follows up with Take Down. Two-Tails takes a critical hit, super effective."

"Five-Tails takes the opportunity to use Taunt, successfully landing. Two-Tails, in confusion, uses Fire Ball to counter."

"Five-Tails' energy bar is full! It uses an Energy Ball with astonishing destructive power. It wants to end the match!"

"In a desperate situation, Two-Tails triggers Reversal, attack power doubles, and it uses Shadow Ball!"

"Wow, wow, wow~ What a tense and exciting duel. Both Pokémon have given their all, leaving no regrets. Now, let's see who the final winner is..."

"It's the Five-Tails! At the last moment, it triggered the passive Endure. It stands to the end. Let us congratulate Senju Hashirama for winning the first round!"

The crowd below looked at Uchiha Gin, who was holding a megaphone and excitedly explaining the battle in the field, each with an expression of confusion.

Although they couldn't understand, they were greatly shocked.

You guy, playing two roles at once, even Tifa isn't as hardworking as you.

"Beep, beep!"

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, waking everyone still immersed in shock.

"This trainer, please do not make beast-body attacks. This referee gives a warning for the first time. Do not let it happen again!"

As a loving Uchiha, the referee Uchiha Gin raised both hands and made a big 'X' in front of his chest, issuing a warning to Uchiha Madara, who had just spoken rudely.

"I..."

Uchiha Madara's eye corners twitched upon hearing this, and then he said with a cold face.

"There are so many white-hairs here, how do you know I was talking about the Tailed Beast?"

"Uchiha Madara, I'm going to kill you!"

Senju Tobirama, who had been secretly happy about his rival getting into trouble, immediately jumped with rage, pulled out a long sword hidden who knows where on his body, and was about to rush into the arena with murderous intent to fight Uchiha Madara to the death.

"Calm down! Calm down! We are all Konoha people~"

Worried about the conflict escalating, Sarutobi Sasuke and the others hurriedly flew forward to stop the murderous Senju Tobirama, trying to persuade him with kind words.

"Oh~ Someone is taking it personally, getting anxious?"

Uchiha Madara continued to add fuel to the fire, making Senju Tobirama lift his finger.

"Beep, beep~ Please, unrelated personnel, do not disturb the order of the arena. If you have any grudges, you can apply for a ring match."

Uchiha Gin, as the referee, couldn't tolerate anyone disturbing the sacred duel, so he blew his whistle and arrived, warning Senju Tobirama with a tense face.

"Hmph! You just wait!"

Thinking that this battle concerned his big brother's Hokage position, Senju Tobirama suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly at Uchiha Madara, sheepishly put away his long sword, and retreated.

"Roar!!!"

The red-haired ape entered the battlefield, hammering its chest, bursting out strands of flames, and opened its bloody mouth, shouting at the Five-Tails Kokuo, who was in a sorry state.

"I want to prove that tails don't represent anything. Only iron fists are the truth!"

Second round, start.

Sure enough, the Four-Tails didn't disappoint Uchiha Madara. Son Goku, with overwhelming force, easily solved the half-crippled Kokuo.

It didn't even use its signature skill, Flower Fruit Mountain, and only used two sandbag-sized fists to hammer Kokuo's iron head until it went bang-bang.

Uchiha Gin, as the referee, jumped onto the head of the twitching Five-Tails, supported himself with both hands, pried open the opponent's heavy eyelids.

"Second round, Four-Tails wins!"

After confirming that the clear eyes had turned into mosquito-coil eyes, he stood up, raised the flag high, and declared the winner of this round.

"Hashirama, it seems having one more tail isn't anything great~"

Tasting victory, Uchiha Madara crossed his arms with a slight curl of his lips, looked at the Four-Tails in excellent condition, and turned to his old rival.

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you guys say that having more tails makes you powerful? How did that big gorilla easily kill it in seconds?"

Senju Hashirama, being mocked, showed a look of disappointment. He manipulated the giant Wood Human to throw the unconscious Kokuo back into the wooden cage, then lowered his head and asked the Nine-Tails, which had been calm and collected.

"This space is too narrow. Kokuo's speed, which it is proud of, was restricted to death, which allowed that Four-Tails guy to find a flaw."

Rather than blaming the terrain, the Nine-Tails didn't want to admit that tails were a symbol of strength.

"Then good, I'll believe you for once. Next, who's going up?"

The Nine-Tails' excuse sounded reasonable at first glance. Senju Hashirama had to give up, nodded, scanned the remaining three Tailed Beasts, and then asked.

"Hiss... I'll go. My ability is relatively restraining to the Four-Tails~"

Only the slug Six-Tails volunteered, waving the tentacles on its head, and moved over slowly.

"Third round, Senju Hashirama sent out the Six-Tails!"

"Can this Tailed Beast, which secretes highly corrosive acid, win back a round for its trainer? Everyone, stay tuned~"

Uchiha Gin, acting as the commentator, used a megaphone to drive the enthusiastic atmosphere of the whole field with a high-pitched voice.

"Sigh... Looks like it's going to be a long fight!"

Yamanaka Minako, who had been standing for a long time, stretched her sore calves. Her blue eyes were filled with thick fatigue.

The long-term running around during this period made Yamanaka Minako's body a bit unwell. Not only did her skin become dull, but her hair also became a bit yellow, and a few crow's feet climbed onto the corners of her eyes.

"Come over and rest for a while!"

Just at this moment, a sweet voice entered Yamanaka Minako's ears. She saw the short-haired girl following Uchiha Gin smiling and patting the idle folding stool beside her, inviting her.

"Uh... then I won't be polite."

Looking at Senju Ban's sincere smile, Yamanaka Minako let go of the defenses in her heart, lifted her stiff legs, and walked to the girl's side.

"Thank you~"

Yamanaka Minako politely said thank you, stuck out her plump butt, and sat gracefully on the folding stool Uchiha Gin had brought out.

"Ah?"

However, the moment her fleshy butt touched the stool, Yamanaka Minako felt a warm current spreading from her buttocks, and it rushed into her meridians at a very fast speed, scaring her into screaming and almost jumping off the stool.

But before Yamanaka Minako could leave, she felt that the mysterious energy full of vitality was slowly repairing her tired and dry body.

In just a few breaths, she found that the skin on her hands had actually become white and tender, and the fatigue of her body was swept away.

In surprise, Yamanaka Minako touched her face and found it was much more supple than before. The hair hanging by her ears was also becoming soft at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What is going on?"

Surprised by her transformation in an instant, Yamanaka Minako excitedly covered her plump red lips and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Hi~ What's there to be surprised about? It's all the effect of this stool."

Seeing Yamanaka Minako's ignorant look, Senju Ban patted the stool she was sitting on and explained.

"Nani?"

Yamanaka Minako lowered her head to observe the unremarkable wooden stool beneath her. Her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity. She reached out and touched it, feeling only a warm and moist touch, making her heart and spirit peaceful.

"This is 1,000 ryo, Boss Lady, please keep it~"

As the next person in charge of the Yamanaka clan, Yamanaka Minako was known for her decisiveness. After feeling the extraordinary nature of Uchiha Gin's stool,

Without any hesitation, she pulled 1,000 big ocean dollars from her wallet and handed them to the stunned Senju Ban.

"Uh, hahaha, you really have a good eye for people~"

After a brief moment of distraction, Senju Ban, who had been given a new title, smiled and took the banknotes handed over by Yamanaka Minako. Without even looking at them, she waved her hand generously and traded the stool over.

"Senior Hikari, what do you think?"

Looking at the interaction between Senju Ban and Yamanaka Minako, Uchiha Hikari, whose face showed no joy or anger, had light flickering in her eyes. She turned her head and asked Uchiha Hikari, who was watching the competition with full attention.

"Oh? I'm watching while sitting~"

Only glancing at Senju Ban, who was giggling alone, Uchiha Hikari replied faintly, a flash of contempt in her black eyes.

My relationship with Gin, you little brat, I'm afraid you couldn't catch up even if you tried~

Just as this little episode happened off the field, the battle in the field had entered a white-hot stage.

"Hiss... Son Goku, obediently admit defeat. As Tailed Beasts, I don't want to hurt you anymore."

Radiating a pungent acidic smell, the Six-Tails Saiken tried to persuade it to surrender.

And in front of it, the Four-Tails' proud red fur was now missing chunks and patches due to corrosion.

Its image had also changed from the majestic red-haired silver-backed gorilla just now to the current bald baboon.

"Roar! Damn slug, eat a stick from Old Sun!"

Seeing its image damaged, the Four-Tails, filled with rage, slapped its hands straight onto the ground. Endless chakra poured out, and several protrusions carrying lava spread under its feet, aiming straight at the Six-Tails.

"Cliff Sword! The Four-Tails actually used the Ground-type skill that can be called a divine skill, Cliff Sword!"

Uchiha Gin, the commentator outside the field, held the megaphone high, looking at the lava pillars rising from the ground, and introduced excitedly.

"Boom!"

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Saiken, suddenly struck, was hit straight in its fragile anus by the Cliff Sword from under its feet. The scorching magma poured into its body along the excretory opening, roasting its body and making a sizzling sound.

The Six-Tails trembled violently all over, reflexively spraying out viscous liquid, which splashed onto the golden barrier, emitting pungent thick smoke.

"Sigh~ Since you are so unappreciative, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Enduring the pain in its chrysanthemum, the Six-Tails gritted its teeth and stood up, deciding not to hold back anymore. It began to brew the Tailed Beast's killer move in its mouth, and the black Tailed Beast Bomb was born with its thought.

"Hmph! Who's afraid of whom!"

The Four-Tails, already at the end of its rope, prepared for a desperate fight. It opened its huge mouth, and the scorching Tailed Beast Bomb condensed instantly.

"It's time for the tense and exciting beam-clash segment again. Everyone can come and play a guess~"

Uchiha Gin looked at the giant beasts clashing with Tailed Beast Bombs and quickly set up a gambling game, trying to let the audience present have a bit more participation.

"I bet on the Six-Tails to win!"

"I'll follow~"

"I bet on the Four-Tails!"

"Ah? Sasuke, you can't see the situation clearly. This Four-Tails is obviously in bad condition."

"Generating electricity for love, not looking at data, pure appearance party~"

Sarutobi Sasuke's gaze was like a torch. Looking at the hill-like big gorilla, he revealed an obsessed expression.

Good, good, good, so your Sarutobi clan are all gorilla-philes~

"Alright, place your bets!"

Quickly pressing his chips on the "Draw" in the middle, Uchiha Gin smiled very happily. As the only winner of this guess, he was full again.

"Boom~"

Only a thunderclap on flat ground was heard, and the familiar scene appeared again. After the smoke, both giant beasts were gasping and standing in place.

Then, in the expectant gaze of the crowd, the Six-Tails and the Four-Tails fell to the ground simultaneously, stirring up dust that filled the sky.

"I announce, this round, a draw!"

Referee Uchiha Gin jumped down at the first moment. After a careful inspection, he raised the flag in his hand and announced in a deep voice.

"Ah! That was my last bit of private money!"

In the crowd, a miserable scream like a funeral was heard. Shimura Kenichi was on all fours, hammering the ground fiercely, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Pity, just a little bit off."

Looking at the fallen Son Goku, Sarutobi Sasuke shook his head with some regret. However, in his view, as long as he didn't lose, it was a win!

"Hehe~"

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Uchiha Gin smiled and accepted all the golden chips. As the only winner of this guess, he was full again.

"Madara, this counts as a draw, right?"

Watching the unconscious Six-Tails return to the cage, Senju Hashirama's face turned a bit dark. He didn't expect that the full-state Saiken would actually be traded by the Four-Tails, which had fallen into a disadvantage.

Clearly, according to the tails, the advantage was with him!

Uchiha Madara controlled a blue giant to drag the unconscious Four-Tails to the side of the Two-Tails.

"Don't talk nonsense, continue!"

Then he turned his head, looked at the solemn Senju Hashirama, and urged with an expressionless face.

Now both sides only had two Tailed Beasts left. That big beetle on Senju Hashirama's side looked listless; sending it up would be a gift.

Looking at it this way, his chances of winning were extremely high.

"After three rounds of competition, I believe everyone is a bit tired. Now, mid-game break. Taking advantage of this time, I'll insert an advertisement for everyone~"

【Kidney deficiency, sometimes after excessive fatigue, waist and leg pain, lack of spirit, as if the body has been hollowed out.】

【Is the kidney overdrawn? Want to replenish the overdrawn kidney?】

【Try Kidney Treasure Tablets, she's good, and I'm good too!】

【Selected from secret ancient recipes, added with precious medicinal materials, combined with concentrated flower essence, Pig-Deer-Butterfly secret Kidney Treasure Tablets, hot pre-sale...】

"Shingi, you guys..."

With an inexplicable expression, Sarutobi Sasuke looked at his friend in disbelief.

"Cough, cough, cough... Before, when I saw him doing the lucky draw, the ads were played quite well, so our three families discussed it and contacted him privately..."

Akimichi Shingi, who was questioned, rubbed his big head and revealed an honest and simple smile.

"Sigh~ You guys actually didn't bring me along next time. The Sarutobi family also has specialties."

"Ad over, competition continues!"

Because there was only one sponsor, after replaying this ad several times, Uchiha Gin raised the flag in his hand and announced loudly.

"Seven-Tails, you go up, this lord will anchor!"

The Nine-Tails behind Senju Hashirama turned its head, carrying thick threats, and ordered the shrinking Chomei.

"But I'm just a caterpillar~"

"Long-winded! Hurry up and go up!"

Seeing the Nine-Tails flick its tail, throwing the Seven-Tails' massive body into the field.

"Okay, contestant Senju Hashirama has sent out the Seven-Tails. Then, contestant Uchiha Madara..."

"You go."

Glancing at the last two Tailed Beasts, Uchiha Madara didn't hesitate and directly ordered the Three-Tails Isobu to go down.

"Wow~ Turtle, go for it!"

As a die-hard fan of the Three-Tails, Senju Ban waved the cheering stick in her hand excitedly and shouted loudly.

"..."

Looking at the girl covered in Three-Tails merchandise, the women all revealed an expression of confusion.

"Ah? Didn't you see? There are cheering merchandise and grains for sale over there~"

Senju Ban, wearing a Q-version Three-Tails grain on her chest and an Isobu T-shirt, tilted her head, pointed to a stall that had appeared who knows when not far away, and said strangely.

"Huh?"

After Senju Ban's reminder, everyone present finally discovered that a stall had quietly been set up in the corner of the auditorium.

"Come, come, come, selling Tailed Beast merchandise, boutique blind boxes, limited grains..."

Listening to the familiar voice, everyone rolled their eyes in unison. Looking at the extra stall owner Uchiha Gin, everyone almost choked to death.

Good guy, I'll call him a good guy. Two isn't enough, now he's playing three roles at once?

"Hmph! Only a fool would buy that kind of thing, right? I don't believe..."

Shimura Kenichi, with empty pockets, hugged his arms angrily. Watching Uchiha Gin make money was more uncomfortable than him losing money himself.

"Boss, give me a set of Four-Tails merchandise, limited edition!"

However, before his words fell, someone had already rushed over. Sarutobi Sasuke, with a slightly red face, stared dead at the Four-Tails figure roaring on the shelf, took out his wallet excitedly, and said.

"Hehe~ 40,000 ryo, thank you. Buy now, and get an extra grain blind box~"

Smiling and taking the banknotes, Uchiha Gin handed over a Tailed Beast grain blind box with his backhand.

"You can open a limited flashing grain of the Tailed Beast in here, oh~"

Uchiha Gin's voice was like a devil's whisper. In a trance, Sarutobi Sasuke had already opened the blind box in his hand.

"Congratulations! It's the Six-Tails~"

"Clap! Who wants this!"

Only taking one look, Sarutobi Sasuke angrily threw the Six-Tails grain in his hand to the ground, and even stepped on it a few times to relieve his hatred for the Four-Tails being injured.

After doing that, he raised his head and looked at the Four-Tails flashing grain displayed on the stall advertisement.

"Give me a few more, I must get the Four-Tails flashing grain today!"

Son Goku's heroic posture had him obsessed. He immediately threw his wallet over and shouted loudly.

"Alright~"

In the field, Chomei, forced to participate in the war, spread its tails. Following the flapping of its wings, countless scales fell into the field.

On the other side, Isobu, walking slowly, raised its scarlet single eye, locking onto Chomei's figure. Its three thick tails slapped the ground, making a heavy sound.

"Fourth round, Seven-Tails vs. Three-Tails, competition start!"

As the flag in Uchiha Gin's hand fell, the Seven-Tails made the first move. Seeing it flap its wings, all the scales laid out on the ground beforehand rolled toward the Three-Tails.

"I didn't expect the Seven-Tails' tactics to be so despicable, actually laying out the field beforehand."

Commentator Uchiha Gin looked at Isobu, whose actions had become sluggish due to being covered in scales, and explained loudly.

"The Seven-Tails' scales have put a poison-sluggish buff on the Three-Tails. This is a fatal blow for Isobu, who is already slow in action."

"Sorry, Isobu, I can only win."

They had signed an agreement with Senju Hashirama. Only the Tailed Beast that won to the end could regain its freedom.

The previous Five-Tails and Six-Tails had all lost, and the final result was returning to the cage.

So, no matter how despicable the means, it had to win.

"Roar!!!"

Sensing that it was covered in scales, Isobu's brows furrowed slightly.

As an aquatic Tailed Beast, land combat was not its strength.

Now it was being remotely controlled by Chomei, who could fly. If it didn't think of a countermeasure, it would be worn out by the opponent.

"Turtle, go for it! Don't give up~"

Seeing the Three-Tails fall into a predicament, Senju Ban stood up excitedly and cheered loudly.

"Tsk~ Restrained."

As the trainer of the Three-Tails, Uchiha Madara clicked his tongue, looking at the smug Senju Hashirama in the distance, and felt hatred in his heart.

"Roar!"

However, just when everyone thought the Three-Tails would be defeated by the Seven-Tails' infinite control, Isobu actually retracted its head and four limbs into its shell.

Isobu uses Withdraw!

"Huh? It just turtled up?"

Everyone was confused. Under these circumstances, the Three-Tails didn't choose to counterattack but instead turtled up. This was undoubtedly chronic suicide.

"Ugly, this round, I admit..."

Uchiha Madara's pride as a warrior made him unable to accept the Three-Tails' behavior.

Even if he admitted defeat, he didn't want to continue making a fool of himself, so he reached out, preparing to give up this round.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

Just as Uchiha Madara was halfway through his words, a series of violent roars suddenly came from the field. Everyone was shocked and leaned out, wanting to get a glimpse of the truth.

"Nani! The Three-Tails actually used Rapid Spin! It broke the Seven-Tails' scale parasitism tactic!"

Only Isobu's turtle shell was seen spinning rapidly in place. The hurricane generated blew off the layers of scales attached to its body.

Uchiha Gin, the first commentator to understand, shouted excitedly, watching the turtle shell rolling and spinning rapidly in the field, explaining the Three-Tails' countermeasure.

"Haha~ I said, Turtle wouldn't lose!"

As a die-hard fan of the Three-Tails, Senju Ban waved the cheering stick in her hand and laughed.

"Hmm~ This turtle still has some stuff."

Looking at the rolling Isobu, Uchiha Madara, who had intended to admit defeat, revealed a look of surprise on his ice-cold face, then nodded slightly, acknowledging the Three-Tails' strength.

"Sigh~ Don't think that just because you got rid of my scales, you can win. At this distance, you can't hit me!"

Although the Three-Tails' countermeasure was beyond its expectations, the Seven-Tails, as the overlord of the sky, didn't lose heart. Instead, it flapped its wings, flew into the high sky, and mocked Isobu, who was spinning below.

"Roar!!!"

As if hearing the Seven-Tails' mockery, Isobu stopped spinning, but its limbs and head didn't extend.

Just when everyone was confused, four rapid water jets sprayed out from the four limbs of the Three-Tails' turtle shell.

Combined with the Rapid Spin used again, Isobu's massive body actually began to break away from gravity and fly toward the sky.

"Huh? Boss, I miss you~"
