Obito was sitting silently on the branch of a large tree, looking at the battlefield indifferently from a distance.
A figure gradually emerged on the tree trunk behind him, half black and half white.
"Really powerful, Uchiha Funan's fame is not exaggerated. With such talent, probably only that person when he was young can compare with him, or he might fall short." Black Zetsu commented.
Obito didn't say anything. He was also shocked.
"What should we do now?" Black Zetsu said in a deep voice. "Uchiha Funan is too strong, will his existence affect our plan."
"No!" Obito answered decisively.
"It's better to be careful!" Black Zetsu showed a weird smile and said: "After all, he is only sixteen years old..."
Obito's face became gloomier. Youth represents infinite possibilities.
Black Zetsu suddenly said: "Obito, do you want to revive Madara? With Madara's strength, it is easy to deal with Funan."
"No!" Obito still said firmly. "The plan has just begun, and he is not needed at this time."
Black Zetsu looked at Obito's back and smiled silently. 'Resurrect Madara? Definitely not at this time!' Black Zetsu just wanted to know what Obito's attitude towards Madara was.
"What about Funan?"
"Try to cooperate with him." Obito said coldly. "Uchiha Funan is not a person who cannot cooperate. We have a lot of things that he doesn't have and needs."
"Really?" Black Zetsu said in surprise. "Then why didn't we cooperate before?"
Obito's expression turned grim, and he didn't speak.
White Zetsu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly laughed at this time and said: "Obito looked down on him before. When he faced Funan, he was very arrogant."
"Who would have thought that he was so strong and hit Obito several times? Hehehe, hahaha..."
Facing Obito's cold eyes, White Zetsu decisively shut his mouth.
Staring at the blood-red giant in the distance, Obito seemed to have a fire burning in his heart.
…
Kumogakure.
[Bang!]
A table flew out of the Raikage's office and broke the door.
A burly man over two meters tall walked out aggressively.
"Raikage-sama!" The secretary ran after him.
"Mabui, notify C and Darui. Also, call that bastard B... we are ready to leave for the battlefield."
"Please wait, Raikage-sama." Mabui said hurriedly. "As the Raikage, how can you leave rashly? Besides, what about Kumogakure? Please give me one day. I want to take care of your itinerary, safety, and the village..."
"I leave it all to you. I believe in you, Mabui!" The Raikage waved his hand and rushed out directly.
Darui and C, who had just arrived, smiled bitterly.
C scratched his head and smiled awkwardly at Mabui. Darui shrugged helplessly.
The two chased after the Raikage together.
"Ah!" Mabui stamped her feet in anger.
Looking at the back of the Raikage, she muttered. "I hope nothing bad happens. Funan is a troublesome guy. Plus, they leave all these responsibilities to me and don't even worry about the problems. Raikage-sama is so irresponsible!"
Mabui had a hint of worry in her eyes.
The news received today surprised both Mabui and the Raikage.
Dodai failed.
Kumogakure lost nearly three thousand people in the battle, and many of the remaining people were injured.
This blow was so great that the Raikage lost his temper. He originally thought that there would be no war at all, and even if there was a war, he didn't think Kumogakure would be defeated.
He even considered how to make Kumogakure suffer some losses if the war started, because many of the shinobi sent out were from the enemy faction. If they didn't die, the Raikage felt that he couldn't sit still.
Now, the losses surpassed his bottom line and his lungs almost exploded with anger.
After the Raikage's departure, Mabui held an emergency meeting and dispatched dozens of elite shinobi as quickly as possible to protect the Raikage's safety.
…
The news of the great victory also reached Konoha.
After reading it, Torifu's eyebrows jumped wildly, and after handing the information to Shikaku, he fell into a long silence.
The old fat man was obviously very irritable at this moment. There was also a hint of fear in his gaze.
"So strong?" Shikaku exclaimed.
Simply by reading the information, it was evident that Funan was a formidable, probably the strongest shinobi in Konoha.
Torifu said lightly: "He doesn't look like a human, more like... a tailed beast!"
Shikaku pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed. "Sarutobi Hiruzen will have a headache."
"Aren't you worried?"
"I'm only worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men will mess around during the war." Shikaku spread his hands and said: "We have had disputes with Uchiha, but they are not that serious. Even if Uchiha becomes the winner in the end, it is better than Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men, isn't it?"
Thinking of that gloomy guy Danzo, Torifu nodded unconsciously.
[Knock! Knock!]
Knocking was heard on the door.
Shikaku and Torifu looked at each other.
"Come in!"
The one who entered was none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen. Shimura Danzo followed him with a sullen face...
...
[Bang!]
A body was thrown into the mountain of corpses.
"This is the last corpse." A shinobi hesitated and said: "Commander-in-chief, you really have to do it yourself. This will consume a lot of your chakra."
"Don't worry!" Funan waved his hand and said: "I want to experiment with ninjutsu. It's just right to use Kumo's corpse. You can go."
"Yes!" The shinobi responded and left instantly.
Funan looked at the pile of corpses in front of him and grinned.
There are at least three hundred corpses here. All of them are Kumo's corpses.
They should have been destroyed, but Funan issued an order to burn the corpses in a concentrated manner, and he would burn them personally.
In fact, almost three thousand Kumo shinobi died this time.
However, after being hit by Funan's Yasaka Blood Magatama, two thousand corpses were destroyed in an instant. Some bodies were left in fragments.
He couldn't let the Konoha shinobi collect body fragments everywhere. That would make him a pervert.
The remaining ninjas were hunted down by the shinobi of Konoha. There were about seven or eight hundred bodies, some of which were of great use to Konoha.
The bodies in front of Funan were the kind that Konoha didn't want. Most of them were Genin, and there were very few Chunin.
But, the quantity was enough!
"Let's get started!" Funan rubbed his hands and instantly created four shadow clones.
"Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique!"
Then, the four shadow clones began to destroy the surroundings.
Soon, the air was filled with thick smoke, obscuring the view of anyone nearby.
Obito: "..."
The person in the dark: "..."
Obito took a deep breath and wanted to sigh, but he was choked and coughed. The smoke and dust were too thick, and the mask could not block it.
Zetsu: "..."
'Can't you see the smoke and dust with only one eye? You actually took a deep breath?!'
"Should we go over there?"
"Wait a minute." Obito simply sat down and said lightly. "After a while, when he is done and comes out, we will go directly to see him."
Funan played this trick, obviously not wanting people to know what he was doing. At this time, if they rashly went in, they would make enemies!
"Ahhh!!!" Just then, a sharp scream sounded.
Obito curled his lips and said: "See? This is the consequence of going over now."
If he went over now, the two would definitely fight.
Funan was really ruthless and cruel.
...
In the smoke and dust.
Funan threw the corpse in his hand onto the pile of corpses. The corpse was wearing a Konoha forehead protector. There were two more corpses nearby.
Funan didn't even look at them, but just stared at the pile of corpses, muttering: "This time, my fruit will be ripe again."
I look at the God Tree inside.
The three fruits grew to about the same size, all reaching level 3.
As for the levels of his own three skills...
Level 4 (Fire Release)
Level 5 (Eye Techniques)
Level 2 (Sage Mode)
Leveling up the Sharingan wouldn't be easy.
"Really, why do I think so much?" Funan suddenly smiled, tapped his head gently, and murmured: "This battle has just begun."
"There are too many opportunities to obtain corpses. If it doesn't work, I will go to Kumogakure to play after this battle."
The God Tree began to absorb the energy of the bodies.
Since they had just died, although some of their life energy had dissipated, there was still some left.
With a large amount of life energy flowing into his body, Funan sighed comfortably.
Due to the enormous amount of life energy he had absorbed this time, the changes in his body were evident in many aspects.
For example, his physical strength had increased and by extension his chakra as well.
"One day, I will punch Senju Hashirama and kick Uchiha Madara. No, punch Hamura and kick Hagoromo!" Funan sighed.
When he finished absorbing life energy, the Sage Mode fruit was upgraded.
Level 3 (Sage Mode).
Funan was very satisfied.
