Chapter 105: I Give Up, Seriously
A burst of repulsive force unleashed by Uchiha Dali slammed viciously into the target.
In an instant, the massive body of the Three-Tails Isobu plummeted down into the ocean.
That terrifying repulsive force not only threw it off balance but also felt like a mountain had come crashing down on its body.
Isobu was in such pain it nearly coughed up blood.
Furious, it began stirring up monstrous waves in the sea.
"You little brat, are you trying to die?!"
Enraged, the Three-Tails Isobu began gathering power, opening its mouth to launch a Tailed Beast Ball at Uchiha Dali in the sky.
But the very next second, its technique was abruptly interrupted.
An even more terrifying repulsive force than before came crashing down from above with overwhelming pressure.
The immense force not only shoved away all the surrounding seawater, but also struck Isobu directly once again.
Already in immense pain, Isobu saw stars from the blow.
Boom—
Its massive body slammed into the ocean once more.
The scene left Utakata, standing beside Uchiha Dali, utterly dumbfounded and speechless.
But it wasn't over yet.
After brutally crushing the Three-Tails with repulsive force, Uchiha Dali immediately switched to using gravitational force to lift it high into the sky.
Isobu's massive body thrashed violently, its limbs flailing desperately in an attempt to break free—but it was all in vain.
Furious, it roared, "You little brat, what do you plan to do to me?!"
Uchiha Dali didn't bother answering.
He simply controlled the gravity to hoist Isobu tens of thousands of meters into the air.
Then, in the very next moment, the gravitational force acting on Isobu suddenly vanished.
The powerful lifting force disappeared without a trace.
Isobu's massive body immediately began to plummet in free fall.
"No, no… you damned brat!!"
Realizing the disaster that was about to befall it, Isobu's expression changed drastically.
Unfortunately, there was nothing it could do to stop what was happening.
Moments later, the Three-Tails crashed down from ten thousand meters in the sky.
BOOM BOOM BOOM—
An earth-shattering roar echoed as Isobu landed hard at the bottom of the ocean in a massive crater.
Falling from such a height—
Even a Tailed Beast couldn't endure it.
At that moment, Isobu was barely clinging to life, nearly smashed to pieces.
It had completely lost its fighting strength.
Lying motionless in the crater, it couldn't even lift a claw.
"D-Damned brat…"
"Still mouthing off?"
Hearing the Three-Tails still cursing him, Uchiha Dali let out a cold snort.
Then, without hesitation, he repeated the same move, controlling gravity to lift the Three-Tails high once more.
Internally, he couldn't help but marvel—these abilities brought by his heaven-defying comprehension were unbelievably useful!
Seeing that it was about to suffer again, Isobu finally caved.
"Enough!"
"You brat, don't push your luck!!"
"I—I have my dignity too!"
Hearing the Three-Tails' protest, Uchiha Dali smiled faintly. "So, are you willing to come with me now?"
"Or do you want to keep experiencing the thrill of extreme skydiving?"
Isobu: "..."
And just like that, Uchiha Dali happily accepted the Three-Tails Isobu as his partner.
Then, with both Isobu and the Six-Tails' jinchūriki, Utakata, he quickly returned to Kirigakure in the Land of Water.
"These two are under my jurisdiction now."
"Remember, in three days, report to me in Konohagakure, Land of Fire, Yagura."
"Don't make me wait."
With that, Uchiha Dali vanished along with the Three-Tails and Six-Tails.
——
Uchiha Dali, with Isobu and the Six-Tails in tow, naturally returned straight to Konohagakure.
What he didn't know was that at this very moment, Konoha had already received an uninvited guest—someone hiding in the shadows, silently observing his former home.
That uninvited guest was none other than Uchiha Obito.
Because of Black Zetsu's persistent manipulation and coaxing, both Obito and Nagato had begun to perceive Konoha as a threat.
So, Obito personally took action.
As a ninja originally from the village, he was intimately familiar with every detail of it.
Thus, he easily bypassed all open and hidden security checkpoints.
Now, Obito stood in the mountain forest above the Hokage Rock, surveying the entire village from above.
"It's been a while."
Obito's gaze swept across the scenery, finally settling on the Hokage building below.
That was where Uchiha Dali's office was located.
However, Obito didn't act rashly. He was still waiting for the right opportunity.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage Office—
"What did you say?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared, dumbfounded, at Uchiha Dali, who was lounging in his chair with his legs up on the desk.
"You actually brought back both the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails?"
"And… the Land of Water and Kirigakure have no objections to this??"
Koharu Utatane also found the whole situation utterly unbelievable.
Even Homura Mitokado, though silent, clearly shared their skepticism.
Ultimately, their doubts stemmed from their own limited perspective.
Because they couldn't do it, they assumed others couldn't either.
Do they even understand what a Tailed Beast is?
These are beings that can lay waste to the world on a whim.
Aside from the God of Shinobi himself, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, none of them had ever seen anyone in their lifetime who could singlehandedly subdue a Tailed Beast—let alone make it obedient.
And Dali had handled two at once!
Compared to that absurd feat, getting Kirigakure to submit and making the Land of Water a vassal of the Land of Fire suddenly seemed far less shocking.
"Come in, Utakata."
Uchiha Dali couldn't be bothered to explain and simply called out toward the door.
Utakata, who had been waiting silently outside, pushed the door open and walked in.
Hiruzen and the others looked over curiously.
Hiashi Hyuga even activated his Byakugan, and upon seeing what he saw, they all reacted with astonishment.
"He really is a jinchūriki…"
"But what about the Three-Tails?"
Hiruzen was still somewhat skeptical.
Just then, Uchiha Shisui suddenly appeared inside the office.
Using the Body Flicker Technique, Shisui wasted no time reporting, "Fourth Hokage, Third Hokage, our scouts have discovered something unusual outside the village!"
Everyone turned to look at him.
Only Uchiha Dali remained calm.
"A Tailed Beast has appeared outside the village!"
Shisui continued his report.
"A Tailed Beast?!"
Hiruzen and the two advisors quickly exchanged glances.
"Yes. Based on its appearance and number of tails, it appears to be the Three-Tails—formerly owned by Kirigakure!"
Unaware of the full situation, Shisui relayed what the Anbu and Uchiha Police Force had discovered.
