While Naruto was being manipulated at will by Funan, Jiraiya and the others watched with wide eyes and dry mouths.
It's not like their previous fight had been a total farce. They had fought for real.
Naruto has grown a fifth tail. At this time, he definitely has the strength of a Kage, and as a Jinchuriki, he doesn't care about the consumption of power at all.
Even for three Kage-level ninjas united, it was a difficult battle. But now in Funan's hands, he was like a toy.
This huge contrast gave Torifu and the others a headache. They didn't need to look at the faces of the other jonin around them to know that they were all in awe.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiraiya kept yelling.
Funan then threw Naruto down.
Naruto took a last look at Funan and fainted.
Jiraiya quickly stepped forward, hugged him, and then yelled again, calling the medical-nin.
"Is everything all right here?" Funan said casually. "I'm leaving. By the way, Danzo..."
"I know, I know!" Torifu said quickly "I will punish Danzo severely when I find him later."
"Not bad!" Funan looked at Torifu with approval and said: "I see you're quick to respond now. You've improved. Keep it up, I have faith in you, kid."
Torifu: "..."
As they watched Funan walk away, Hiruzen suddenly spoke: "Torifu, the Uchiha's power has reached this level. Is this what you wanted?"
Torifu said calmly: "The Uchiha are also part of Konoha. Now, many people in Konoha recognize them."
Hiruzen sneered and said: "I only see chaos."
Since Funan took control of the Uchiha, they had relaxed their responsibilities with the Konoha Police Force.
Under these conditions, Konoha's security was in decline.
For this reason, the senior officials of Konoha are often scolded by the villagers.
"Enough!" Torifu shouted angrily. "Hiruzen, do what you must do, and don't meddle in what doesn't concern you. And as for Danzo, let him go to the Hokage's office immediately."
With that, Torifu stormed away.
Hiruzen looked at his back and frowned slightly.
...
Funan, for his part, was very happy.
In his body, four forces are constantly swimming.
They were the powers of the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, Eight-Tailed, and Nine-Tailed beasts.
Of the nine tailed beasts, he now possessed the power of four.
"From the Three Tails to the Seven Tails!" Funan began to think about how to capture the next few tailed beasts and gain their power.
He needed to capture them before Akatsuki did.
Or maybe...
He could get some chakra when Akatsuki captured them.
It's just some chakra. Even Obito can't know what effect will be after the power of the nine tailed beasts is gathered together!
If he asks for some chakra, the other party will not be willing in his heart but will not deny it on the surface.
Funan also began to reflect on the recent information he had received. Every village was planning to act against the Uchiha, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Good, very good!"
...
In Konoha, Funan had once again become the center of attention.
Really, his performance today had been too outstanding.
Shinobi admired strength.
What the three famous ninjas could not solve together, was solved so easily by Uchiha Funan.
The shinobi of Konoha were excited!
This is power!
In addition, another person came into everyone's sight.
Shimura Danzo!
After Funan came to the battlefield, the exaggerated shouts and the doubtful questions were spread quickly.
Danzo immediately became the center of Konoha's vortex.
Many jonin even openly mocked him. Now the jonin have a lot of say, which is different from the Sarutobi Hiruzen period.
Hiruzen looked at Danzo coldly, sighed, and said: "Danzo, our current situation is not good, what do you want to do?"
Because of him, his already low popularity was falling even further.
Danzo stood aside with a gloomy face, saying nothing.
What can he say?
Can he say that he was afraid, so he didn't dare to appear in front of the Nine-Tails?
No!
He reserved himself to make a great contribution to Konoha and the shinobi world in the future.
Thinking like this, Danzo felt justified.
At this, Hiruzen sighed deeply.
Why did he realize at this time that the people around him were all good-for-nothings?
Homura and Koharu, two wastes, now one is dead, and the other is escaping.
The shinobi clans he worked so hard to train had also betrayed them.
Danzo made one mistake after another.
At that moment, Hiruzen seemed to have aged twenty years.
He missed the past!
The Konoha Corrupt Quartet at that time was so glorious.
"Danzo, we have been forced into a desperate situation!" Hiruzen looked at Danzo seriously.
"We still have... Uchiha Itachi!" Danzo's deep voice echoed. "Hiruzen, don't you trust him?"
"Uchiha Itachi is certainly trustworthy!" Hiruzen nodded immediately.
"Itachi is trustworthy, but what does it matter? Can we really act directly against the Uchiha?" Hiruzen shook his head and said: "According to Itachi's information, we know that the Uchiha's power has increased exaggeratedly. Not only has the combat power of most Uchiha shinobi increased, but even crippled shinobi have been incorporated into the combat series."
Hiruzen's expression darkened.
"Attacking Uchiha may not be impossible!" Danzo said in a cold voice: "Don't you know about the recent movements of Suna, Iwa and Kumo?"
"So what if I know?" Hiruzen said indifferently: "They just talk, but who would dare to start a real war? Who would dare to be the first to provoke conflict?"
"Kirigakure would dare!"
"What?" Hiruzen was stunned.
"Danzo, do you have contact with Kirigakure?" Hiruzen felt a mix of emotions.
"The Mizukage contacted me." Danzo's excitement was hard to conceal, and he said: "Kirigakure believes that Uchiha is the cancer of the shinobi world and will personally lead the Kirigakure shinobi to attack Konoha and eliminate Uchiha."
"This..." Hiruzen said strangely: "Kirigakure and Uchiha, there is no such great hatred... um!"
Then he remembered.
During the Great Shinobi War, the Uchiha were present on the front lines against Kirigakure, especially Uchiha Funan, who nearly annihilated Kirigakure.
Now, several shinobi villages are considering taking action against Konoha and the Uchiha. Kirigakure taking the initiative to lead is not that hard to accept.
Danzo looked at the silent Hiruzen, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Leave this matter to me!" Danzo said calmly: "Hiruzen, just wait for my good news!"
After that, Danzo turned and left.
Hiruzen looked at his back and sighed: "Danzo..."
"What?" Danzo said coldly: "In this situation, are you still so indecisive?"
"No!" Hiruzen said helplessly: "Torifu asked me to take you to the Hokage's office. You have to give him an explanation. I want to ask, when are you going? The old fat man is very angry this time."
Danzo: "..."
...
Amegakure.
Obito sat on a dilapidated house and stared into the distance.
The perennial rain is still falling.
He stared at the center of the village, where Pain was on the head of a monstrous statue, and then activated his Mangekyo, disappearing.
Pain also looked at him coldly.
At this moment, the two of them were actually confronting each other.
"Nagato!" Konan's voice sounded.
"No problem!" Pain didn't care and said calmly: "I've never considered him a companion. As long as I have these eyes, he can't cause any trouble."
Nagato is very confident in himself. He noticed that the masked man was doing something, but he didn't care.
…
Obito came to Kirigakure. He went directly to the power center of Kirigakure, the Mizukage Building.
Obito spoke with a cold tone: "How are the preparations going?"
"Don't worry!" Yagura said respectfully: "I have already started to mobilize troops. At most three days, we can go to the border of Konoha."
"Very good!" Obito stared coldly at the Mizukage, and the murderous intent in his heart was boiling.
It was because of Kirigakure that Rin died.
The death of Rin...
Obito didn't want to think too much. Since he had made a decision, he would work hard towards the goal. The rest didn't matter.
He wants to change the world, he wants to create the world!
"What about the contact with Iwagakure and Kumogakure?"
"I have contacted them, but they didn't give an accurate answer."
Obito sneered. "They talk loud, but when it comes to action, they all cower! A bunch of scum!"
[Knock! Knock!]
An urgent knocking was heard at the door.
Obito frowned, looked at the direction of the door coldly, and cursed: "Damn old man!"
[Swish!]
In a whirlpool, Obito disappeared.
Yagura slowly straightened up and said in a calm voice: "Who?"
"Mizukage-sama, it's me!" A deep voice sounded.
"Master?" Yagura frowned and said: "Come in!"
The door opened.
An elderly man walked into the room tremblingly. Beside him, there was a young girl in her twenties, supporting him.
"Master, Terumi Mei, is there something wrong?" Yagura asked calmly.
"I heard that the Mizukage is going to mobilize troops against Konoha. Is that true?"
"Yes!" Yagura did not hide it and said indifferently: "Is there a problem?"
"Why?"
"Do you really need to ask?" Yagura's eyes turned cold, and he said: "During the war, how many of our people died at the hands of Konoha, especially the Uchiha? Now that we have the chance, naturally, we must fight back."
Terumi Mei seemed about to speak, but a glance from Genji stopped her.
Genji stared at Yagura. After a moment of silence, he smiled. "Mizukage-sama, Kirigakure cannot endure another war."
"I am the Mizukage!" It was Yagura's cold response.
"I understand." Genji turned around, taking Terumi Mei with him.
Yagura watched them leave, without saying anything.
However, if one paid attention, one would notice that Yagura was more stunned than staring.
