The Raikage took a deep breath, then exhaled and said calmly: "You're exaggerating, Hokage! During the chunin exams, the five great shinobi villages agreed not to start a war."
Funan looked incredulous and shouted: "So, what were you doing just now? Mating?"
"Puff!"
Mei spurted out a mouthful of wine. Her elegance was gone.
The Raikage's body was also full of lightning, staring at Funan.
"Don't be angry!" Funan pouted and said: "I heard that there are many animals that will fight when they mate to decide the winner. The winner becomes the attacker, and the loser becomes the receiver."
Terumi Mei trembled all over.
Pakura sighed deeply, how did she get deceived by this guy?
"Raikage, have all the invading enemies been dealt with yet?" Terumi Mei calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course." The Raikage replied in a deep voice. "However, the Two-Tails has disappeared."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"The enemy's target was the Tailed Beast?" Pakura asked, surprised.
"It's likely." The Raikage replied grimly.
This time, it was Mei and Pakura's turn to get restless.
If the enemy's target was the Tailed Beast, what would happen to those in their villages?
Funan calmed down and contacted Konan again through the ring.
"Did you get the two-tailed beast?"
"Yes!" Konan did not hide it and said directly: "Thank you for your help."
"Me?"
"Don't play dumb!" Konan said in a cold voice: "Orochimaru and Deidara cooperated, and I don't know what the purpose is, but we also secretly took action and prepared to take the opportunity to capture the tailed beast. At that time, it was obvious that another party took action to help us hold back a large number of Kumogakure. Don't tell me that it wasn't you."
Funan smiled slightly and said: "In that case, Konan, how do you plan to thank me?"
"What do you want?"
"To you."
"Go to hell!"
"What?" Funan raised an eyebrow. "I can't?"
"Are you sure? You don't want anything else?"
"Well, some Tailed Beast chakra wouldn't be bad either. I want to extract it from the Two-Tails myself."
Konan: "..."
"Uchiha Funan, you are a bastard!"
"What?" Funan looked confused.
"Hmph!"
Sensing Konan's displeasure, Funan quickly added: "Konan, I was just joking. I don't want anything, just my lovely Konan."
A slight snort could still be heard.
However, it was clear that Konan's mood had improved considerably.
In fact, Funan had already obtained the Two-Tails' chakra when he fought the last battle against Kumogakure.
And he no longer needed it at all.
Of the Tailed Beasts in Akatsuki's hands, he was only interested in the Four-Tails.
It's a pity for the little cat.
Originally, Funan was going to adopt the cat.
Raising it in his office, petting the cat when he has nothing to do, that would be a comfortable life.
No, I have to discuss this with Akatsuki. They can't kill Yugito. They have to leave some chakra for this poor Two-Tails Jinchuriki to save her life.
But if I do this, I guess I will have to fight with Nagato again.
Nagato, you have such a bad temper.
How come I met such a partner?
I am worried!
"Why am I so unlucky?" Funan sighed resignedly.
Several people present looked at him strangely.
They didn't understand what this guy was thinking now.
...
Although they had just gone through a great upheaval, the Chunin Exam was resuming again.
In order not to lose prestige, Kumogakure had to endure.
But Funan looked at Kumogakure and clicked her tongue.
Orochimaru had summoned two gigantic snakes and had hundreds of men under his command.
Among the strongest fighters were Sasori and Deidara.
There is nothing that can be said about Deidara's destructive power.
This guy, Onoki, was secretly doing bad things again, and with a Dust Release, he almost cut all of Kumogakure in half.
Eight-Tails was forced to transform into a tailed beast.
Two-Tails also transformed into a tailed beast and was captured. Needless to say, fierce fighting must have broken out at the other end of the village that they could not see.
The entire Kumogakure was in a mess, and the cost of recovery would not be low.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
The Raikage, with a grim expression, stared at Funan, who kept clicking her tongue at the state of the village.
No further problems arose during the Chunin Exam, and all shinobi from the large shinobi villages passed and became chunin.
Even shinobi who were defeated in the fights managed to advance.
At that moment, the representatives of the five great shinobi villages had a matter to discuss.
Although Onoki is gone, his son Kitsuchi and granddaughter Kurotsuchi are here, which is enough to represent Iwagakure.
After a brief discussion about the relationship between the five major shinobi villages, Funan suddenly spoke.
"I think everyone should be careful about the tailed beasts."
"What do you mean?" The Raikage looked at Funan coldly.
"The two-tailed beast was captured, and the four-tailed beast disappeared." Funan said calmly: "Also, in my village, the Nine-Tails has been attacked several times. Don't you think there might be a group targeting the Tailed Beasts?"
"Haha!"
Seeing Funan's serious expression, the Raikage, Kurotsuchi and Mei couldn't help but laugh.
Pakura held back her laughter, but her expression was a little strange.
"Is it that funny?" Funan asked, surprised by their reactions. "I see, the problems seem to be concentrated in your villages. Kumogakure lost the Two-Tails, Iwagakure the Four-Tails, and Kirigakure the Three-Tails. Meanwhile, Sunagakure and Konoha are relatively safe."
The smiles on the faces of the three immediately froze.
Their gazes seemed capable of shooting flames towards Funan.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?..."
"Ahem!" Pakura interrupted, clearing her throat. "Hokage-sama, missing-nin organizations that target Tailed Beasts have never ceased to exist. In fact..."
She hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Even the daimyo of the Fire Country has had thoughts about the Nine-Tails."
Funan was very surprised. He really didn't know this.
Thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem strange.
In this case...
Funan touched his chin, and suddenly he had another idea.
Funan looked at the people present with a smile and said: "I suddenly have an idea."
Pakura looked at Funan warily and said: "No!"
Funan looked at Pakura innocently and said: "I haven't even said anything, and you're already saying no!"
"No means no!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Terumi Mei and the Raikage almost shouted their opposition.
Funan was dumbfounded.
However, everyone just smiled coldly.
They were determined not to listen. They did not want to risk any further encouragement.
"Okay, don't regret it later!" Funan snorted in annoyance, and then couldn't help but say: "Really, don't you want to listen? I feel like my idea is really good."
The others continued talking among themselves, completely ignoring him.
"Okay, you will definitely regret it!" Funan said, visibly angry, before turning to Kurotsuchi with a mischievous smile. "Kurotsuchi, come, big brother is going to play with you."
Instantly, the place fell completely silent.
"You... you..." Pakura trembled with rage, gritting her teeth. "Uchiha Funan! She's still a child."
"No!" Funan replied seriously. "I think he's already twelve years old."
Pakura and Terumi Mei looked at him as if they wanted to set him on fire with their eyes.
Kitsuchi even stood up directly, with an amazing killing intent.
On the other hand, Kurotsuchi looked innocent. Although she understood what was happening, she better pretend like she didn't know anything.
Fight!
Hurry up and fight!
I've been feeling bored for a long time, and finally something interesting happened.
"What is wrong with you?" Funan protested in irritation. "I just want to talk to the girl. Why are you so angry?! If you want to fight, I'm ready. Like I said before, I'll only use one eye!"
Saying this, Funan closed one eye and stood up abruptly, staring defiantly at the others.
His attitude was so intimidating that even Kitsuchi lost his momentum.
Kitsuchi, filled with frustration, looked at the Raikage and said: "Raikage-sama, if there is nothing else, Iwagakure is retreating for now."
The Raikage was visibly upset.
"Hmph!" Kitsuchi snorted in contempt and left, taking Kurotsuchi with him.
"Kitsuchi!" The Raikage spoke in a deep voice: "Remind Onoki that this is not over."
"Whether it's the attack on Kumogakure or the disappearance of the Two-Tails, sooner or later I'll settle accounts with him!"
Kitsuchi tensed, but without looking back, he continued on his way.
Funan looked at the Raikage in surprise.
He had already suspected that Onoki and Deidara were in collusion.
The angle of the attack in that Dust Release was too coincidental.
It just happened to bring out the greatest power of ninjutsu, causing unprecedented damage to Kumogakure.
Deidara is also Onoki's disciple and was once trained as a Tsuchikage. If you say Onoki can't contact Deidara and can't find his whereabouts, this is just a lie to children.
But now it seems that Onoki also has something to do with the disappearance of the Two-Tails.
This is getting interesting.
Until that moment, Funan realized that, with the disappearance of the Four-Tails, the only town left with two tailed beasts was Kumogakure.
Onoki always appeared firm, but perhaps it was all a facade to hide his pain at not having a suitable successor.
The other Kage were still young. Be it Terumi Mei, Uchiha Funan or Rasa, they were all in their 20s or 30s. Even the Raikage was in his prime.
But Onoki could no longer hide his advanced age.
He felt worried. He was becoming more and more distrustful. In this state, anything could happen.
