Beat Mito Uzumaki into a Pig's Head!

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news!"

Uchiha Nan nodded, and with that, the sliver of mental will brought by this trace of Dojutsu dissipated, returning to his main body.

At this moment, Uchiha Nan was piloting the Susanoo in combat against Mito Uzumaki. Their attacks were unadorned—fist-to-fist, bone-crushing blows!

"Mito Uzumaki, you're finished!"

Uchiha Nan laughed wildly. The sliver of mental will had returned to its source, and his conversation with the Nine-Tails made him feel this round was already in the bag.

"What do you mean?"

Mito Uzumaki sensed something was wrong. By her estimation, if she kept dragging things out, she could surely wait until Uchiha Nan's Chakra and Dojutsu ran dry—then victory would be hers.

"Mito!"

"Stealing my Chakra?"

"Hand it over!"

The Nine-Tails' grating voice rang out from the depths of her heart. The tails that had been sealed by chains began to tremble.

The Chakra eroded over long years erupted in an instant. Within mere seconds, four or five chains snapped completely.

The remaining chains also began to crack. The Nine-Tails let out a beastly roar, struggling relentlessly. It had already torn open a corner of the seal, vying for control of the Nine-Tails Chakra, continuously strengthening itself.

Damn it!

Why now? When had that Demon Fox's Chakra eroded the seal!

Mito Uzumaki's heart was shaken. She began mobilizing the seal's power to suppress the Nine-Tails. She absolutely could not let it escape. The shattered chains reappeared, trying to bind the Nine-Tails once more.

But the Nine-Tails was no easy tailed beast to deal with. It was the strongest of the nine.

Back when it was sealed, Hashirama Senju had put in a massive effort. Now that it had a chance to turn the tables, it was determined to stir up chaos. Perhaps the day of its escape was today—no need to wait those long years.

As for Mito Uzumaki's life or death, was that something a tailed beast should concern itself with?

All Jinchuriki in the world deserved to die!

Every last one of them treated tailed beasts as tools of war—their consciences were utterly rotten!

"Think you can seal me? Not so easy!"

The Nine-Tails struggled relentlessly. Mito Uzumaki could no longer spare attention for Uchiha Nan; she focused entirely on wrestling with the Nine-Tails.

Good opportunity!

Uchiha Nan could clearly feel Mito Uzumaki's aura weakening, and the power of the Tailed Beast Transformation was also steadily decreasing. It seemed the Nine-Tails was putting in the work.

This was the perfect chance to beat a dog while it's down.

Uchiha Nan punched the Nine-Tails in the face, a full set of Military Boxing that left Mito Uzumaki dizzy and disoriented.

But Mito Uzumaki could only endure it. If she lost to Uchiha Nan, she wouldn't die—her status guaranteed it. The widow of Hashirama Senju, the mother of the Senju Clan Head, Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—any one of these titles was a get-out-of-death-free card in Konoha.

But the Nine-Tails was different. Once a tailed beast broke free from its Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki's life came to an end.

Damn it! That Demon Fox bastard!

Mito Uzumaki cursed aloud. That wretched Demon Fox must have struck some deal with Uchiha Nan—there was no way it would pick this exact moment to act otherwise.

No!

She couldn't keep tangling with Uchiha Nan!

She had to focus all her strength on suppressing the Nine-Tails!

Mito Uzumaki made a stop gesture, then dispelled the Tailed Beast Transformation, preparing to verbally surrender.

"I sur—"

Uchiha Nan's eyes narrowed. He read Mito Uzumaki's lips—she was about to surrender!

Without a moment's hesitation, Uchiha Nan instantly dismissed the Susanoo, dropped from the air, and punched Mito Uzumaki square in the face.

"I want—"

"I want to fight you to the death?"

"Good, Mito-sama! I truly admire a comrade like you, a woman of resolve! Rest assured!"

"I firmly uphold the principle of equality between men and women—I won't discriminate against a female comrade. I've felt your determination in battle, and I will give it my all!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Nan drove another punch into Mito Uzumaki's stomach, knocking the wind out of her so she couldn't speak.

One more punch!

That was the right cheek—now for symmetry!

Though Mito Uzumaki's face bore a few wrinkles, time had left no deep marks. She still retained her charm; one could tell at a glance she had been a great beauty in her youth.

But Uchiha Nan had no intention of showing any tenderness.

So-called beauty was, in the end, nothing but a handful of yellow earth. Dust returns to dust, and a lovely maiden is no different from a flower—either trampled by roadside footsteps or withered and aged when her time comes, becoming ugly fertilizer to nourish the soil.

The Great Love Celestial's teachings still rang in his ears. Take this—Face-Scarring, Beauty-Breaking Fist!

Before long, Mito Uzumaki's face was grotesquely swollen, a perfect pig's head.

"I said I surrender!!!"

"Hiyah! What?"

"That was reckless of me, but you're to blame too. Mito-sama, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Uchiha Nan's face was full of worry as he instantly stopped his attacks, helping Mito Uzumaki to her feet. Then his expression shifted to one of deep apology, but the smile at the corners of his mouth was already impossible to suppress.

How satisfying!

After enduring all those years without being able to fight Tobirama Senju, taking a swing at Mito Uzumaki wasn't bad either. After all, the Uchiha and Senju had never gotten along.

"I said, screw your mother!"

Mito Uzumaki's eyes brimmed with killing intent. If it weren't for the Nine-Tails stirring up trouble inside her, she would have fought Uchiha Nan to the death, even if it cost her old life.

Damn it, bullying a woman like this!

He didn't hit anywhere else—just went straight for the face. She was already beaten into a pig's head!

Even if Mito Uzumaki thought herself old and didn't care about her looks, she couldn't take this kind of abuse. She still had a face to save!

"Mito-sama, this really isn't my fault. You were too slow to say it!"

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

Uchiha Nan's smile was almost impossible to hold back, but he still struggled to suppress his laughter. At the very least, he had to put on a show.

"Get lost!"

"You inherently evil Uchiha brat!"

"The Hokage's seat is yours. Now stop bothering me!"

"..."

Mito Uzumaki seemed to return to her fiery younger self, cursing nonstop.

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

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

"Hahahahaha!!!!"

As he walked, Uchiha Nan couldn't help but burst into laughter, making Mito Uzumaki's sharp-eared curses grow louder.

If you're going to laugh like that, at least go farther away!

"Nine-Tails, is it?"

"Picking a fight with me at a time like this—you're dead!"

Freeing up her hands, Mito Uzumaki began to focus all her efforts on dealing with the Nine-Tails, ready to take out her anger on it.

"Hahaha, pig-face Mito! Getting beaten like that by a junior—how far you've fallen!"

"..."

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

In the end, Mito Uzumaki naturally won. At this point, she was still very capable, far from reaching her final decline.

"You like to yap, don't you!"

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

In the sealing space, the Nine-Tails was once again tied up tightly. Mito Uzumaki's hair floated up as several chains lashed the Nine-Tails' rear, drawing out scream after scream.

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

"If you break your promise, I won't let you off!!!!"

The Nine-Tails roared in pain, teeth bared.

"Don't bring up Uchiha Nan to me—I'll whip you to death!!!"

"Bastard!!"
