Beating Mito Uzumaki into a Pig Head!

"Then I'll wait for your good news!"

Uchiha Nan nodded. Then the spiritual will carried by that sliver of Dojutsu vanished and returned to his main body.

At that moment, Uchiha Nan was controlling Susanoo as he battled Mito Uzumaki. Their attacks were simple and unadorned, every blow landing solidly on flesh!

"Mito Uzumaki, you're finished!"

Uchiha Nan laughed wildly. A strand of spiritual will had returned to his body, and his conversation with the Nine-Tails made him feel that this match was already in the bag.

"What do you mean?"

Mito Uzumaki immediately sensed that something was wrong. By her calculations, if she kept dragging things out, she would surely be able to exhaust Uchiha Nan's Chakra and Dojutsu. Then victory would be hers.

"Mito!"

"Stealing my Chakra?"

"Hand it over!"

The Nine-Tails' piercing voice rang out in her heart. Its tails, which had been sealed by chains, began to tremble.

The Chakra that had eroded the seal over countless years erupted in an instant. In only a few seconds, four or five chains shattered completely.

Cracks began appearing in the remaining chains as well. The Nine-Tails let out a beastly roar and struggled without pause. It had already torn open a corner of the seal and begun fighting for control of the Nine-Tails' Chakra, steadily strengthening itself.

Damn it!

Why now? When did this Demon Fox's Chakra erode the seal?

Mito Uzumaki was horrified. She began drawing on the seal's power to suppress the Nine-Tails. She absolutely could not let it escape. Chains that had previously shattered reappeared, attempting to bind the Nine-Tails once more.

But the Nine-Tails was no ordinary Tailed Beast. It was the strongest of the nine Tailed Beasts.

Back when it had been sealed, Hashirama Senju had put in tremendous effort. Now that it had a chance to turn things around, it was bound to cause utter chaos. Perhaps today would be the day it escaped; it would not need to wait all those years.

As for whether Mito Uzumaki lived or died, was that something a Tailed Beast should care about?

All Jinchuriki in the world deserved to die!

Every last one of them treated Tailed Beasts as tools of war. Their consciences were rotten to the core!

"Sealing me won't be so easy!"

The Nine-Tails continued struggling. Mito Uzumaki could no longer spare attention for Uchiha Nan and began pulling against the Nine-Tails with all her strength.

What a perfect chance!

Uchiha Nan could clearly feel Mito Uzumaki's aura weakening, while the Nine-Tails' power in its Tailed Beast Transformation was also steadily diminishing. It seemed the Nine-Tails was really putting in effort.

This was the perfect chance to kick someone while she was down.

Uchiha Nan smashed a fist into the Nine-Tails' face. A full set of Military Boxing left Mito Uzumaki reeling in confusion.

But Mito Uzumaki could only endure it. If she lost to Uchiha Nan, she certainly would not die. Her status was there for all to see: Hashirama Senju's widow, the mother of the Senju Clan's Clan Head, Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Any one of those identities was a death-exemption token in Konoha.

But the Nine-Tails was different. Once a Tailed Beast broke free from a Jinchuriki's body, that Jinchuriki's life would be over.

Damn it! That Demon Fox bastard!

Mito Uzumaki cursed viciously. That damned Demon Fox must have reached some agreement with Uchiha Nan. Otherwise, it could not possibly have chosen such a perfect moment to cause trouble.

No!

I can't keep tangling with Uchiha Nan!

I have to suppress the Nine-Tails with everything I have!

Mito Uzumaki made a gesture for him to stop, then released her Tailed Beast Transformation and prepared to surrender.

"I surre—"

Uchiha Nan's eyes widened. He read Mito Uzumaki's lips. She was surrendering!

Without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Nan instantly dispelled Susanoo, dropped from the air, and punched Mito Uzumaki in the face.

"I want—"

"I want to fight you to the death?"

"Fine, Mito-sama. What I admire most is women comrades like you. Don't worry!"

"I firmly uphold the principle of equality between men and women. I would never discriminate against women comrades. I have already felt your resolve to fight, and I will go all out!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Nan punched Mito Uzumaki in the stomach again, leaving her unable to speak.

Another punch!

The last one had hit her right cheek. Now he needed symmetry!

Though Mito Uzumaki's face bore a few more wrinkles, time had not left obvious marks upon it. She still retained her charm, and anyone could tell at a glance that she had been a great beauty in her youth.

But Uchiha Nan had no intention of going easy on her.

In the end, beauty was nothing more than a handful of Kitsuchi. Dust returned to dust, and earth returned to earth. A beautiful maiden was like a flower in this world—either trampled beneath footsteps by the roadside, or withering and aging when her time came, becoming ugly fertilizer that nourished the soil.

The teachings of the Great Love Celestial still rang in his ears. Take my Face-Wrecking Punch!

Before long, Mito Uzumaki's face had swollen grotesquely, making her look like a pig head!

"I said I surrender!!!"

"Huh? What?"

"I was too reckless. But this is your fault too, Mito-sama. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Uchiha Nan wore an expression of concern as he immediately stopped, helped Mito Uzumaki up, and filled his face with apology. Yet the smile at the corner of his lips could no longer be contained.

This felt amazing!

After holding back for so many years, even if he could not beat up Tobirama Senju, beating up Mito Uzumaki was not bad either. In any case, the Uchiha and Senju had never had a good relationship.

"Say your mother's head!"

Mito Uzumaki's eyes were filled with killing intent. If the Nine-Tails were not still wreaking havoc inside her, then even at the cost of her old life, she would fight Uchiha Nan to the bitter end.

This was way too much bullying of women!

He had not hit anywhere else, only her face. He had already beaten her into a pig head!

Even if Mito Uzumaki felt she was old and no longer cared about her appearance, he could not ruin her like this! She still had her pride!

"Mito-sama, this really isn't my fault. You spoke too slowly!"

"I know a little Medical Ninjutsu. How about I treat you?"

Uchiha Nan's smile was nearly impossible to suppress, but he still tried hard not to laugh. At the very least, he had to put on an act.

"Get lost!"

"You innately evil Uchiha brat!"

"The Hokage position is yours. Stop bothering this old lady!"

"..."

Mito Uzumaki seemed to have returned to her hot-tempered younger self, cursing continuously.

Uchiha Nan put on an innocent expression and helplessly turned around, walking toward Uchiha Inohi to share the good news with the Uchiha Clan.

After preparing for so long, he had finally succeeded. From now on, Konoha would be ruled by the Uchiha!

"Hahahahaha!!!!"

As Uchiha Nan walked, he could not help bursting into laughter, causing Mito Uzumaki, whose ears were sharp, to curse even louder.

Couldn't he at least go farther away before laughing?

"Nine-Tails, is it?"

"You chose this moment to cause trouble. You're dead!"

Now that Mito Uzumaki had freed up her hands, she began dealing with the Nine-Tails with all her strength, ready to vent all her anger on it.

"Hahahaha, Pig Head Mito, how did a junior beat you into this state? You've gotten so weak!"

"..."

The Nine-Tails' mocking laughter completely ignited Mito Uzumaki's fury, and she began suppressing it with all her might.

In the end, Mito Uzumaki naturally won. At this point, she was still very capable and nowhere near the end of her strength.

"You like yelling, do you?"

"I'll beat you to death!!!"

In the Seal Space, the Nine-Tails was bound up tightly once again. Mito Uzumaki's hair rose into the air as several chains whipped the Nine-Tails' backside, making it scream repeatedly.

"Uchiha Nan, you little bastard, this is all your fault..."

"If you don't keep our agreement, I won't let you off!!!!"

The Nine-Tails bared its teeth in pain and began shouting wildly.

"Don't mention Uchiha Nan to me, or I'll beat you to death!!!"

"Bastard!!"
