Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 240: Horror Chat Room, Disappeared Group Members
"They are so scattered, and there are still two of them in the water."

Flipping through the information he had obtained for free from the Sky Realm, Uchiha Madara paced in the quiet jungle, his dark eyes flickering with a look of contemplation.

According to intelligence, these tailed beasts are spread across every corner of the ninja world. Some live in vast plains, some live in canyons for a long time, and some roam in rivers, lakes and seas. It seems that each of them has their own territory and there is no territorial conflict.

Hasila Mama's Wood Release probably won't be able to exert its full power when fighting on the water, so he'll just have to take on those in the water.

"Don't worry about the two in the water. They will be mine sooner or later. So, let's start with the fourth one!"

After a thorough analysis, Uchiha Madara chose the Four-Tails living at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water as his first prey.
Without further ado, let's get going now.

Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed, and instantly turned blood red. A layer of blue appeared around his body. As he rose higher and higher, a huge Tengu giant stood between heaven and earth. With his wings spread out, the huge wind pressure blew the surrounding trees all over the place.
"Let's go! Hokage, I, Uchiha Madara, will be the Hokage!"

Controlling the completed Susanoo, Uchiha Madara locked onto the target's direction and transformed into a blue lightning bolt, tearing apart the clouds in the sky in an instant, creating a narrow dividing line in the azure sky.
"What a hot-headed boy, not as steady as Gin-san at all~"

The white and tender bare feet stepped on the gray tiles of the roof. The lazy woman who had just handed the information to Uchiha Madara tapped the pipe in her hand, smoothed the sideburns that were blown messy by the strong wind pressure, looked at the blue giant disappearing in the skyline, shook her head and commented,

"But he's very motivated, not as lazy as Gin-san~"

On the other side, on the vast plains within the Fire Country, a streak of white lightning was speeding, with five pure white tails swaying behind it. Hot steam was boiling around it, baking everything around it.
Today, as usual, King Mu, who likes to run freely, was happily running in his own territory, not realizing the danger at all. His four hooves were swinging very fast, and this comfortable feeling made him feel very comfortable.

"Hello, hello, is anyone there?"

Just as King Mu was running with abandon, a voice sounded in his mind. Hearing the familiar voice, he immediately stopped his hooves, tilted his head, and replied in his mind,
"Is this voice Shukaku?"

Then, it entered the chat room that belonged exclusively to the tailed beasts. It looked around at the darkness and only a fat figure was standing there.
"Humph~Apart from that stupid raccoon cat, who else would take the initiative to chat~"

Just as King Mu finished his question, an awkward voice interrupted him, his words full of gloating. Then, a slender figure wearing a fiery red coat slowly walked out.

"Ku Lama, you idiot!"

Fatty Dundun, who had first started the conversation, cursed angrily after hearing this harsh voice:
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, Shukaku, what happened?"

Just as the two voices were about to quarrel, a gentle voice sounded, and a cat with a faint blue flame all over its body emerged from the shadows and tried to persuade them to stop quarreling in a gentle manner.

"Youlu, how are you doing lately?"

King Mu saw the big blue cat and asked with a smile,

"It's okay, it feels pretty boring~"

Licking his paw, the big cat named Youlu replied lazily,

"What about the rest?"

"I'm here~" A simple and honest voice sounded, and a little turtle slowly crawled out from the darkness, with innocence in its ignorant one eye.

"It's so hot lately, I feel like I'm melting~" A creature that looks like a slug said with a soft voice like a child.

"I am spinning a cocoon, please do not disturb me~" This voice came from a pure white cocoon. It seems that its owner is undergoing a transformation.

"Hey~ It's so boring, is there anyone who wants to fight?" Following a rough voice, eight octopus-like tentacles suddenly appeared, with a burly minotaur on top, looking down on the whole audience.

"It seems like everyone is in high spirits. Is there any recent news? Tell me about it~"

Looking at the other tailed beasts that were full of life, the chubby Shukaku touched his big belly, with a hint of deep envy in his copper-coin eyes, and then asked in a muffled voice,
Since being sealed by the people of the Wind Country, it has lost contact with the outside world. Every day, listening to the monks ringing the bell and chanting Buddha's name, it is almost going crazy. It can only come to the Tailed Beast Chat Room from time to time to chat and listen to the news.

"Haha, stupid Shukaku, you are simply a disgrace to the tailed beasts. No wonder the old man only gave you one tail back then. It turns out that he expected you to be so weak~"

The fiery red figure bared his teeth, looked at Shukaku who looked eager, and laughed while holding his belly.
"Using your tail to measure your strength is the most idiotic thing to do, Kurama!"

When Shukaku heard the mockery of his opponent, he was furious. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the chat room, he would have shot a few blanks at this stinky fox.

"Ha~ isn't it?"

The fox lying on the ground squinted his eyes and asked doubtfully,

"I agree with Shukaku's point of view. The number of tails doesn't mean anything~"

The big blue cat shook his head and said righteously,

"Hahaha, let's have a fight!"

The Ushiki excitedly curled up his eight tentacles, and with a look of irritability, he scanned the surrounding tailed beasts and challenged them to a fight.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget the old man's advice. The farther we tailed beasts are from each other, the better. It's best if we don't meet in this lifetime~"

The one-eyed turtle poked its head out, with a thoughtful look in its one eye, and then spoke out to remind the tailed beasts,

"Um, I saw you passing by my house last week?"

Stretching out a tentacle and scratching the horn, the Bull Ghost asked in confusion,

"Well, I saw a plump turtle and wanted to make friends with it, but I entered your territory without noticing."

Isobu shrank his head a little embarrassedly, and his words were full of shyness. The turtle carrying the island seemed to be controlled by humans. Should he go and save the beauty?
"Stupid Shukaku, what does it feel like to be imprisoned by humans~"

While the tailed beasts were chatting, Kurama, who had a slightly evil mind, turned his eyes and asked the somewhat dejected Shukaku,

"Yes, yes, tell me~"

The other tailed beasts that had not been imprisoned came up immediately, waiting for Shukaku's speech with their big, ignorant eyes.

After all, at most they have been captured by humans and used as disposable nuclear weapons, and have not yet experienced the pain of imprisonment.

"Hehe~ Who said I was imprisoned by humans? I was just accepting offerings from humans. They even sing to me every day. It's so comfortable~"

Shukaku, who had been imprisoned in the temple for many years, immediately replied stubbornly,
"Really? I remember there was a tailed beast crying here before~"

Kurama was the first one who didn't believe Shukaku's words. He looked at the fat raccoon suspiciously and spoke out to expose the shortcomings.
"No Lu Sai! I was listening to the song. The song is so touching, isn't it okay?"

The stabbed raccoon immediately jumped up, its copper-coin eyes full of anger, and then shouted loudly,
"Just wait, you idiot fox, one day you will be like a dog, being bullied and yelled at by humans!"

"You think I'm a fool like you?"

Jiu Lama rolled his eyes. Apart from the old man and his two sons, he was not afraid of anyone.
"Wait, has any of you seen Sun Wukong?"

King Mu looked at the two people who were fighting with a smile. As a collection of chakras belonging to the same origin, these tailed beasts are essentially brothers and sisters. When he scanned the other tailed beasts around him, he suddenly found that one seemed to be missing. Then he frowned and asked,

"Huh? Yeah, why didn't it come? It's usually the one who loves to warm up the audience~"

Niu Gui touched his chin, feeling a little strange. Normally, Sun Wukong was the most active one when they were chatting at a party. Why was he so abnormal today? He had been chatting for such a long time, but the other party was still not online.
"Da~da~da~"

The other tailed beasts also noticed that Sun Wukong was missing, and they stopped communicating and began to try to call the four tails. After a while, a sturdy figure, as if receiving a call, slowly walked out from the darkness.

"Everyone be careful, there's someone there"

Just when the tailed beasts breathed a sigh of relief, they saw the sturdy figure of the four tails shrinking rapidly. In the surprised eyes of the tailed beasts, Sun Wukong, who had not yet revealed his face, used up his last bit of strength to squeeze out half a sentence, and then accompanied by a burst of cold power that frightened the tailed beasts, his figure disappeared in the tailed beast chat room.
"What happened!"

Some of the timid six-tailed rhinoceros dogs, after sensing the cold power, began to tremble involuntarily as if they had encountered their natural enemy.
"This feeling, is it Indra?"

Youlu, who was proficient in Yin Dun, felt his hair stand on end. The cold power that just flashed by was clearly from the old man's bad-tempered eldest son.

These tailed beasts lived under the shadow of the old man's two sons during their childhood. One of them would glare at them all the time, and although the other one was honest and simple, he would beat them with a wooden stick to prevent them from hurting people.

"Impossible, Indra has been dead for many years!"

Kurama shook his head. As a man who had been active in the ninja world for many years, he knew the strength of human beings very well. Indra had died of old age a long time ago. Although there were his descendants in the ninja world now, their strength was far from as strong as his.

"What about Sun Wukong?"

The Bull Ghost at the side, with its eight tentacles stretched straight at this moment, swept away its arrogant attitude just now, and asked in some doubt,
"King Mu, you are closer to Sun Wukong, go and see what happened."

Seeing the tailed beasts panicking, Kurama, who claimed to be the Great Master, stood up and turned to King Mu and ordered,
"Okay."

If it were under normal circumstances, King Mu might have said something retorted, saying that everyone is a tailed beast, but now the situation is a bit delicate, as if someone is coveting them. For the sake of the overall situation, it said no more, nodded, and then exited the tailed beast chat room.
"I remember that Sun Wukong's home is over there~"

On the plain, King Mu shook his big head, and after determining the location of the volcanic group where the four-tailed Sun Wukong lived, he immediately stepped out with his four hooves, turned into a ray of white light, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Deng~Deng~Deng~"

King Mu's four hooves made crisp thumping sounds, and the steam emanating from his body scorched everything around him. Just as he was charging ahead, a figure with long flowing hair suddenly stood on the road not far from him, eagerly waiting for his arrival.

"Why is there a human here? Forget it, you are looking for death, it's not my fault." King Mu, who was running wildly, suddenly caught a glimpse of a tiny human not far away. However, just like a human would not change his route for an ant, as a tailed beast, it would not stop for a mere human. It then accelerated and rushed towards the human who was looking for death.
The horns on its head can split mountains and rocks.
"Is this the tailed beast? It is indeed a dangerous creature just as Tobirama said."

Senju Hashirama, who had been waiting for a long time, frowned slightly as he looked at the huge tailed beast attacking him. He could sense the boiling chakra in King Mu's body. If this creature was thrown into a city, it would take less than half an hour for the city to be destroyed and people to die.

"Does this human not want to live anymore?"

King Mu looked at the human who was about to die under his hoof. As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he sensed a powerful energy. In surprise, he suddenly found that the human in front of him actually exuded a familiar breath.

"Is this the power of Ashura?"

"Very fast, then... Wood Release: Kaibutsu Jutsu!"

Senju Hashirama looked at the extremely fast and flexible King Mu, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he slapped his hands on the ground and activated the ninjutsu he had just learned.

With the injection of Wood Release power, countless big hands stretched out from the ground in an instant, grabbing towards the confused King Mu with great momentum.

"Huh? Really!"

Seeing the familiar Wood Release coming towards him, King Mu shuddered in response and subconsciously used his signature skill, Boiling Release, to try to destroy the huge wooden hands in front of him.

"Oh!"

But the result went against his will. King Mu found in despair that the boiling escape technique he was so proud of hit the wood escape technique of Senju Hashirama, which was like a tickle. The wooden hand that had just been scalded and crushed soon sprouted new buds, one after another, grabbing at it.

"Could this human be the descendant of Ashura?"

King Mu, overwhelmed by the situation, had lost his initial arrogance and was ready to run away on his own hooves. However, Hashirama Senju had seen through his little tricks and clapped his hands before he retreated.
"Wood Release: The Technique of Wooden Man."

The honest Arhat appeared again. As soon as he appeared, he threw out several wooden dragons coiled around his body and rolled towards King Mu from several tricky angles.
"not good!"

King Mu's heart tightened. He could clearly sense the terrifying aura contained in those wooden dragons. He immediately opened his mouth wide, and a dark ball was brewing in his mouth.

"Tailed beast jade!"

"How can I let you use it!"

Senju Hashirama, who had a strong fighting ability, moved the moment he saw the Tailed Beast Ball in King Mu's mouth. He controlled the wooden man to run wildly and appeared in front of King Mu just one second before the Tailed Beast Ball was ejected.
"Oh!"

The wooden man's big hand pressed directly on King Mu's forehead, and the powerful force made it shut up instantly. The tailed beast ball, which contained extremely strong destructive power, also became a dud, and turned into a wave of air and scattered in all directions.

The Tailed Beast Jade interrupted him forcefully. The angry King Mu didn't care about the past and struggled to get up. The burning breath emanating from his body made the air around him sultry.
"It's a bit difficult~"

Hashirama Senju narrowed his eyes. The tailed beast was not a real living being, so it could not be knocked unconscious. Even if he suppressed it with a wooden man, the tailed beast would continue to resist and would escape if he was not careful.

"When entering the temple, the hands are lowered."

Suddenly, Senju Hashirama seemed to remember something. He raised his right hand, and the word "zuo" appeared on his palm. At the same time, the word "zuo" also appeared on the huge wooden palm of his disciple. A strange force that made King Mu drowsy came from the wooden palm on his head.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

In a short while, King Mu, who had been struggling violently just now, was now sleeping like a dead pig. After making sure that it would not rise again, Senju Hashirama withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

"It seems that going to the Wet Bone Forest to practice is the right choice. The ninjutsu I learned are so useful~"

Manipulating the wooden man to carry the sleeping King Mu, Senju Hashirama happily walked towards Konoha.
"Hey, Motor, I'm sure to win~"

"King Mu, King Mu? King Mu!"

In the chat room, the Tailed Beasts who were waiting anxiously found to their horror that they could not contact King Mu who had just left. Suddenly, a terrifying atmosphere filled the entire space.

The tailed beasts looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never encountered such a situation before. Even if one of them was accidentally controlled by humans, they could just go online and brag and chat like Shukaku did, without any hindrance.
But now, first Sun Wukong suddenly went offline, and then King Mu did not respond to their calls. These tailed beasts, which were regarded as natural disasters by humans, seemed to be held tightly by an invisible big hand, and dared not move at all.

"King Mu must have been so excited running around that he forgot to get back to us. Let's wait a little longer."

Seeing that the tailed beasts were somewhat nervous, Kurama spoke to ease the atmosphere, but his fox eyes were filled with deep worry.
"You travel, you go"

Turning his head, Jiu Lama spoke to the dozing blue cat,

"I'm not going!"

Youlu seemed to have its tail stepped on. Facing Jiu Lama's arrangement, it jumped up and down, looking angry.
"Isobu."

"It's inconvenient for me on land. I'm just a turtle~"

Before Jiu Lama could finish, Sanwei Isobu shrank his head and refused directly.

"Don't look at me, I'm very slow~"

The six-tailed rhino shook its head. As a slug, it was destined not to be a highly maneuverable tailed beast.
“I am the cocoon.”

That's right, no one would use Metapod to fight, you would just get beaten.

"It's not convenient for me either~"

The cow ghost waved his tentacles and said confidently,

"Hmph~ I can't count on you, I'll go by myself."

Jiu Lama rolled his eyes. These guys are all unreliable. It seems that only I can take action.
"Look, I'm going now"

"Hey, Sun Wukong, why are you here? Where did you go just now?"

Just as Jiu Lama was about to log off in anger, Youlv beside him suddenly made a surprised sound, but there was no Four-tailed Sun Wukong around, which meant that it had encountered the missing Sun Wukong offline.
"It's okay~"

Hearing that Sun Wukong had gone to look for Yat-lü, Kurama finally breathed a sigh of relief. As the (self-proclaimed) leader of the Tailed Beasts, it had really done its best.

There is no way, who asked the old man to give me so many tails,
The more tails you have, the greater your responsibility.
"Sun Wukong, are you crazy?"

Just when Jiu Lama was immersed in his own admiration, he heard another exclamation, and then he instantly went offline.

"Another trip? Another trip!"

Being somewhat confused by this sudden change, Jiu Lama carefully contacted Youlv after a while, wanting to ask what was going on.
"du~du~du~"

However, the only response it got was the same busy tone as King Mu's. In an instant, a chill enveloped the remaining tailed beasts. As chakra aggregates, they actually broke into cold sweats.
"This is not funny, stop it~"

After a short silence, Kurama was the first to speak, pretending to be relaxed and shouting loudly, as if the disappearance of the tailed beasts just now was just a prank they had planned.

"No, I have to go back to the swamp to hide. Contact me anytime~"

The timid six-tailed rhino could not stand this depressing atmosphere and backed out.

"Don't move, or you might be the next one to disappear."

Jiu Lama frowned, looked at the rhino dog that wanted to run away, and spoke out to stop it.
"What do you mean, threatening me?"

We are both tailed beasts, so why can you be so loud? The rhino dog was not going to tolerate Kurama, and while he was talking, he was about to log off and hide.

"and many more!"

"Goodbye~"

Ignoring Jiu Lama's obstruction, the rhino dog returned to reality and immediately moved its huge body towards the wet swamp, which was rarely visited by people and was an excellent refuge.

"Excuse me, are you also a slug immortal?"

Just as the rhino dog was moving cautiously, a doubtful voice suddenly sounded from behind it, sending a chill down its spine.
"No, you have six tails. Let me see, you are also a tailed beast. I thought you were a relative of Slug Sage~"

Hearing the sound, the rhino dog lowered his head and found a man with long black hair standing at his feet. He was holding a piece of paper and examining it carefully. He gestured at him while reading, which made him a little confused.

"Go to hell, you ignorant human being."

The tailed beast had developed a habit of looking down on the tiny human, even the timid rhino dog was no exception. With a calm mind, it spewed out a strong acid, intending to melt the human and continue hiding.
"It attacks indiscriminately. It is indeed a dangerous creature."

Putting away the information in his hand, Hashirama Senju slowly raised his head and looked at the strong acid that was making a crackling sound. In his mind, he had already labeled the tailed beast as "dangerous".

Without further ado, Senju Hashirama clapped his hands, looking at the beast with a deep gaze.
"My wooden man is very big, you have to be patient."
