After the Raikage slammed Funan into the ground, he appeared to the side, and looked at him coldly. But his condition was not much better. He had been burned in several places by the Funan fire release.
"Commander-in-Chief!" Kakashi and the others were stunned.
[Bang!]
At this moment, Funan's body dissipated into a cloud of smoke.
"How is it possible?" The Raikage exclaimed.
If this is just a clone, then Funan's true body...
"I'm here!" Funan's voice sounded behind the Raikage. "Did you have fun? Now it's my turn!" Funan laughed ferociously.
Inside his body, a still unripe fruit broke apart, turning into pure chakra that flowed inside him.
It was an extremely wasteful act.
But after the recent battle, Funan had exhausted too much chakra.
Funan urgently needed to urgently replenish his chakra. That's why he was so angry.
How difficult is it to store fruit?
[Swoosh!]
Funan appeared in front of the Raikage, gently placing his palm on him.
A small blood magatama appeared in his palm.
[Boom!]
A huge explosion sounded.
Funan couldn't help but frown. Because in front of him, what appeared was an octopus tentacle.
Funan looked at the Eight-Tails coldly.
"Big brother!" Killer Bee rescued the Raikage.
The Raikage's face was also gloomy.
If it hadn't been for Killer Bee he would have been seriously injured.
That attack was equivalent to a small Tailed Beast Ball.
How could this Uchiha still have so much chakra? And also, could he use that technique without the Susanoo?
"Brother, this Uchiha is incredibly strong!" Killer Bee did not rap this time. He looked at Funan solemnly.
The Raikage jumped from the octopus tentacle, gritting his teeth. "His teleportation technique is powerful, so fast that it rivals the Yellow Flash of yesteryear. His Fire Release is equivalent to a Kekkei Genkai, and he also possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Hey, didn't we agree on a one-on-one match? What's wrong? Are duels in Kumogakure always like this? Are they two on one now?"
Funan looked at the Kumo shinobi, observing them one by one.
The Raikage looked at Funan, gritting his teeth. "I have lost, I surrender."
Funan said coldly: "So, what are you waiting for to leave? Are you just standing here waiting for me to invite you to dinner?"
"Seeing how big you are, do you plan to leave me in ruins? Not even in your dreams, I won't give you even a tree root!"
The Raikage looked at Dodai and ordered: "Dodai, retreat, retreat a hundred miles!"
"Raikage-sama!" Dodai looked a little reluctant.
Although the Raikage had just lost, in a group battle they might not lose.
Going back a hundred miles now is like admitting defeat. This is a blow to morale.
Killer Bee patted him on the shoulder and shook his head grimly.
Dodai sighed in resignation and gave the order to the Jonin leading the shinobi troops.
Funan did not pay attention to him, his Mangekyo continued to spin, observing the Kumo shinobi one by one.
"What are you doing?" The Raikage's deep voice echoed. He took a step forward and said: "I lost, we back off. Don't try any tricks."
No shinobi would dare ignore an Uchiha's Sharingan. Much less the Mangekyo of an Uchiha as dangerous as Funan.
Funan took a look at the Raikage and said: "I can't look up to beautiful boys and girls? What, do I have to look at you?"
"You look so scary! By the way, with that face, can you really find a wife?"
"Pfft!" Many Konoha shinobi couldn't help but laugh.
Those from Kumogakure, on the other hand, looked at Funan angrily.
The Kumo shinobi began to retreat one after another.
Until the Kumogakure shinobi disappeared from sight, someone from Konoha shouted. "We have won!"
"Victory!"
"Long live Konoha!"
"Long live Funan-sama!"
One by one, the Konoha shinobi cheered loudly.
Amid the cheers, Funan also smiled. 'Very good, I have successfully gained popularity. On second thought, I should prepare to become the fifth Hokage.'
Would he really let Tsunade take the position? What a joke!
However, he had already said that it would be the people of Konoha who would ask him to be the fifth Hokage, so he would definitely not take the initiative to fight for it.
A weird smile appeared on Funan's lips.
After a while reinforcements from Konoha arrived.
The number of reinforcements was greater than imagined, more than 4,000 people.
This is because Torifu heard that a war had broken out on the border, and temporarily added some manpower to Funan.
Furthermore, there were several thousand shinobi in Konoha, ready to be deployed at a moment's notice.
If it were not necessary to guard against several other ninja villages, the fat man would dare to throw tens of thousands of people at once.
After reviewing the battle report, Funan asked: "Any movement from Iwagakure or Kirigakure?"
"We don't know about Kirigakure, but in Iwagakure they are restless, we don't know who they will act against."
Funan was not surprised by this answer.
Kirigakure had been isolated for a long time, not only were they unaware of the outside, but the outside was also unaware of their situation.
As for Iwagakure...
That old man Onoki is older than Sarutobi Hiruzen. However, he was strong and not senile.
When it was time to fight, he didn't hesitate at all.
Funan touched his chin.
The Fourth Mizukage should still be alive.
Thinking about it, now Kirigakure was probably under Obito's control.
Also, regarding Iwagakure, Deidara could also be an option to consider. His explosive art, used well, could be incredibly effective.
"Um?" While Funan was deep in thought, his eyes suddenly shone. "Okay, I understand, just follow this!"
Funan threw the report in his hand to Kakashi, then stood up and said: "I'll leave for a while, and you can do whatever you want."
Kakashi and the others looked at each other, all feeling a little headache.
At this time, several people admired Nara Shikaku. This guy is said to have cooperated with Funan. How did he manage to endure it until he left the battlefield?
[Swoosh!]
Funan disappeared the next moment.
Watching him leave, Kakashi sighed. "Can you take a rest? I don't even know when your chakra recovered."
...
Funan appeared on the periphery of the battlefield.
A tall figure carrying a corpse was already waiting. Next to him, there was a shinobi holding a huge weapon and chattering endlessly.
The immortal duo! Also known as the Zombie Combo!
Kakuzu and Hidan.
Funan appeared and activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, releasing his eye technique while smiling. "Kakuzu, do you have good news for me?"
"Of course!" Kakuzu, who had been upset by the wait, calmed down upon seeing Funan.
The doubts in his heart began to fade away. His fierce gaze softened upon seeing Funan. Hidan, next to him, had a strange expression.
Hidan looked at Funan, then at Kakuzu, and laughed.
Who would have thought, the next moment, both of them stared at him.
Hidan swallowed hard and quickly lowered his head. He looked so docile that it was sad.
Seeing the Evil God follower so obedient, Funan looked at Kakuzu in surprise.
Kakuzu didn't care about this at all, and just said: "The businesses you left behind in the Land of Fire are indeed very profitable. After I took over, they have doubled in size!"
"Oh!" Funan smiled. "This is really good news. How much can you give me this time?"
The reason Funan had so much money, enough to stun even the Uchiha, was because he had business elsewhere.
A large number of them.
He was able to attract Kakuzu largely due to his ability to generate money.
In this aspect, Funan's Mangekyo ability only played a supporting role.
Kakuzu, you are a talent. Your love for money has reached an incredible level!
Hearing Funan ask for money, Kakuzu was a little hesitant. "Do you need it now? "I was thinking of reinvesting it to expand business…"
"There's a war! Kakuzu!" Funan said helplessly: "I would also like to give you more money to expand business since it is my money. But we need to maintain our advantage to continue doing business, right?"
What advantage? Of course, the stability of the Land of Fire. If the Land of Fire ceases to exist, what's the point of doing business?
"Okay!" Kakuzu said reluctantly. "I can still give you 200 million ryo here. Any more will affect the business."
"That's enough!" Funan nodded.
"Then, shall we leave now? Or help you fight?" After giving the money, Kakuzu wanted to leave.
He preferred to earn money rather than fight.
But Hidan, upon hearing about the battle, became excited.
"No, there is another task for you here!" Funan rolled his eyes, smiled, and said: "Kakuzu, if you manage to complete this mission, our money will be practically infinite. "You can do whatever you want."
Kakuzu's eyes sparkled. It's scary bright!
Although Funan was using the Mangekyo technique at this time, Kakuzu was a Kage-level shinobi. The effects of the ocular technique were reduced on someone like him.
However, as soon as something interested him, especially if it was related to money, Kakuzu would take the bait.
The effects of the ocular technique were amplified exponentially.
