Five months later.
Amegakure.
In the heavy rain that never stops all year round, a person walked over.
Rain Tiger at Will Technique!
Pain opened his eyes.
He glanced at the woman next to him and said: "Konan, Funan is here."
"I know." Konan smiled softly. "He told me before he left."
Nagato felt depressed.
"Nagato, I'm here!" Funan walked into the core area of Amegakure.
After seeing Konan, he smiled slightly, opened his arms, and said: "Did you miss me, honey? Come, give me a hug!"
With that simple sentence, the veins on Nagato's forehead began to throb in pure frustration.
"Hmph!"
Konan rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Nagato looked gloomy and stared at Funan.
"Hey, Nagato, are your eyes rolling? Amazing! Even mosquitoes would get dizzy at the sight of you, you'll never have to worry about them again in summer!"
"Uchiha Funan!" Nagato shouted angrily.
"What's the matter? Want to fight?" Funan's eyes glowed in the shape of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Only Nagato, when he came into contact with these eyes, could realize the powerful power and danger contained in these eyes.
"You..."
Nagato's face changed slightly, and he said: "Your eyes..."
"Hmph!" Funan snorted lightly and said: "It has nothing to do with you. I have brought the chakra of the One-Tail and the Nine-Tails."
He opened his hand, and two balls of chakra appeared in his palm.
Inside each one were small representations of the One and Nine Tails.
Nagato looked at the two balls of power and said: "Is this thing really useful?"
"Nonsense!"
Funan said unhappily: "Of course it can, but it can't be used for a long time. By the way, do you need to use it for a long time?"
Once the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is activated, transforming into the Ten-Tails, one time would be enough.
The Moon Eye Plan will be implemented, and the whole world will be shrouded.
"Let's try it first." Nagato pondered. "If it doesn't work, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Don't worry!" Funan patted his chest and said: "You can trust what I tell you."
Trust you? How many lives do you think I have?
Nagato stared at Funan coldly.
"What are you looking at me for? Where is what you promised me?" Funan asked impatiently. "Where is the Four-Tails' chakra?"
At that moment, Konan appeared in front of Funan, took him by the arm and said: "Follow me."
"Okay!"
Funan immediately smiled and followed her happily.
Nagato, for his part, watched them leave, feeling helpless.
In the deepest Akatsuki prison, the Two-Tails and Four-Tails Jinchuriki were locked away. Both were in a state between wakefulness and sleep.
Konan looked at Funan and said: "If you want their power, just extract it yourself. Just leave the tailed beasts in their bodies."
"Understood!" Funan looked at the two Jinchuriki.
"I'm going to extract the chakra now." Funan said, as he extended his hand towards the Four-Tails.
"You can draw on the Two-Tails' chakra too if you need to. Don't worry about it." Konan commented from the side.
Funa's hand paused slightly and nodded: "Understood."
A large amount of Four-Tails chakra began to flow into Funan's body.
In the core area of Funan's chakra, there were four groups of power floating there.
At this moment, the fifth group of power was quietly formed.
Four-tail chakra!
When the amount of Four-tail chakra reached a certain level, Funan smiled with satisfaction.
The power of One-tail, Two-tail, Four-tail, Eight-tail and Nine-tail are all together.
Only Three-tail, Five-tail, Six-tail and Seven-tail are missing.
Funan doesn't need to worry about these.
He believes that Akatsuki will do it well.
Konan smiled and said: "You look very satisfied!"
"Yeah!" Funan smiled and said: "I can think of a way to get the chakra of the three-tail and six-tail. As for the other chakras, it's up to Akatsuki himself."
"You are also a member of Akatsuki!" Konan reminded him. "Although I don't know what you want the chakra of the tailed beasts for, it's not a big deal. I will find a way to help you gather all the chakra of the tailed beasts."
"Haha!" Funan smiled and walked forward, hooked Konan's chin, and said: "You are so kind? Tell me, how should I thank you?"
"Tsk!" Konan glared at him, slapped his hand away, and walked out of the room.
Funan smiled and hurriedly followed.
...
The night passed without incident.
The next day, Funan, who was sleeping soundly, was pushed awake by Konan.
"It's time to get up, almost everyone in Akatsuki has arrived."
Funan opened his eyes lazily and, taking Konan in his arms, said: "What's up? Is there a meeting today?"
"Yes~" Konan replied, settling docilely into his embrace. "Today, the chakra of the One-Tail is sealed. All members of Akatsuki are here to seal it together."
"Do I still need to go? It's just a ball of chakra, four or five people are enough."
"What do you think?" Konan rolled her eyes.
The power of the One-Tail had been obtained by Funan, and it was he who said that sealing it in the Ten-Tails' body would be useful.
What if that didn't work?
Therefore, it had to be sealed in front of him. Otherwise, with Funan's temperament... he would definitely not accept it. He would even be able to say that they had exchanged the One-Tail's chakra for another.
"Okay!" Funan looked at Konan slyly and said: "One more round before you go."
"Don't even think about it!" Konan said unhappily: "You almost killed me yesterday, no more for this year."
"Come on, my little angel, didn't you say that two people still need to arrive?"
"You and me!"
"...Okay!"
With Konan's help, Funan reluctantly stood up and they both headed to the great hall.
"My, my! The Hokage himself has decided to grace us with his presence!" Deidara exclaimed upon seeing him enter.
"Deidara? Weren't you killed by the Tsuchikage?" Funan yawned.
He had always suspected that Deidara had some kind of connection to the Tsuchikage, and it turned out he hadn't been wrong.
"Hmph!" Deidara sneered. "It's too early for the old man to want to kill me. But you, Hokage-sama, why are you still staying in Akatsuki."
Funan casually said: "And what's wrong with being Hokage? Maybe one of these days, you'll end up being the Tsuchikage."
"Enough already!" Nagato interrupted in a deep voice using Yahiko's body. "Everyone is here, let's start."
At this moment, an energy sphere appeared in the center of the great hall.
The chakra of the one-tail.
Kisame said coldly: "Do you need all of us to seal a simple mass of chakra?"
Pain glanced at him and said: "This chakra was personally extracted by Uchiha Funan. I have already checked it, it is not a small amount."
"Oh!" Kisame looked at the ball of chakra in surprise and said: "Funan-san, this ball of chakra..."
Funan understood what Kisame meant and said directly: "I'm worried that the chakra of the one-tail is not enough, so I drew the one-tail a few more times. Now the little guy shrinks his neck when he sees me. Even when Gaara fell asleep, it didn't want to come out."
Akatsuki: "..."
Funan and Konan each stepped on a finger of the giant.
"Let's start!"
Pain's deep voice echoed.
Immediately, the others began to channel their chakra, pulling the One-Tail's power into the Ten-Tails' body.
Vast amounts of chakra began to collide with each other.
When these chakras collided with the One-Tail Chakra, Funan seemed to hear a cry of grief.
There were a total of ten people in Akatsuki.
After Orochimaru's betrayal, there were nine left.
It was too easy for these powerful shinobi to seal a ball of chakra together.
Even if this ball of chakra belonged to the tailed beast chakra that Funan had collected many times, it was the same.
In a short period of time, the chakra entered the body of the Ten-Tail.
Just as Funan thought, the first eye opened.
Although it was only a ball of chakra, the power contained in this chakra was definitely not worse than that of a real tailed beast, and even exceeded the amount of the One-Tail.
The only problem was that this chakra was a non-renewable power, and it would be consumed as much as it was used.
"Is it over? It's much easier than expected."
Sasori's slightly hoarse voice sounded.
Pain said: "After all, it's just a ball of chakra, and it doesn't know how to resist. If it's a real tailed beast, we will probably need three days."
"Oh!"
Nagato looked at Obito.
From the beginning, this gloomy and mysterious guy was silent.
He didn't object to Funan's behavior of replacing the tailed beast with the tailed beast's chakra.
Originally, Pain thought he would strongly object, and then Pain could take the opportunity to attack him, or at least make him reveal a little flaw.
Who knew that he would remain silent.
This made Pain more alert.
"The One-Tail's chakra has already been sealed. It's time to seal the Two-Tails."
Funan raised his hand and said: "I want to buy the Two Tails."
"What?"
Everyone present was stunned.
Pain couldn't help but stare.
"What are you looking at?" Funan said disdainfully: "The power of money is extremely huge. There is nothing that can't be bought with 100 million ryo. If there is, then 200 million ryo."
Konan said: "Funan, don't forget Akatsuki's purpose."
"I know, waking that thing up." Funan looked at the body of the Ten-Tails and said: "Since the chakra of the one-tail can be used, the two-tail is the same. We can just extract some chakra, right?"
Pain was silent.
In the past, he would have immediately refuted Funan. If it weren't for Konan's intervention, he wouldn't have even considered accepting Funan's proposal with the One-Tail's chakra.
However…
As Funan finished speaking, Nagato's Rinnegan detected something: the masked man's body trembled slightly.
He was holding back with all his might!
Excellent!
Finally, something had shaken him.
Instead of opposing, Pain changed his speech: "How much are you willing to offer? If it's enough, I'll consider it."
Konan gaped.
"One hundred million ryo!"
"No, two hundred million ryo!" Pain replied.
"That much? It's just the Two-Tails, not the Nine-Tails!"
"Yes, it's two hundred million ryo. You just said that one hundred million ryo can't solve the problem, but two hundred million ryo can!"
Pain's expression remained serene.
Being able to tear off a piece of flesh from Funan filled him with satisfaction.
Funan looked unhappy and snorted. "Alright, I accept. You don't have much longer to live anyway. When you die, that money will end up being Konan's dowry for my Konoha village."
This time it was Pain who gritted his teeth, his frustration evident.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that the two were about to complete the deal, Obito finally spoke.
Obito was very upset!
"What are you turning the tailed beasts into? What is the Eye of the Moon Plan supposed to mean to you?"
The Eye of the Moon Plan, known only to the most important members of Akatsuki, was a gigantic genjutsu, capable of engulfing the entire shinobi world in an instant.
Of course, for people like Deidara, Akatsuki's goal was only to collect the tailed beasts and create super weapons in order to achieve the goal of ruling the shinobi world.
Now, how many of them actually believed in that story? No one knew for sure.
In Funan's opinion, none of these S-rank missing-nin are easy to deal with. They are not simple and may know a lot of things.
Even if Funan didn't know the plot, with his current identity, he also found out a lot of information.
Do other people really know nothing?
"What's wrong?" Funan squinted his eyes and looked at Obito arrogantly. "What's wrong with the Moon Eye Project? Isn't it enough for this war weapon to be activated?"
Obito didn't even look at him.
Talking to Funan, what kind of attitude and mentality are needed, he knows too well.
Sometimes, Obito thinks that if he had met Funan earlier, maybe Rin wouldn't have died.
Why?
Because Funan would have provoked him so much that he would have awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan much sooner.
Damn Funan!
Obito said in a serious tone: "Pain, the Eye of the Moon Plan cannot have any mistakes. Did you forget how he died? Do you really want to repeat that tragedy?"
He?
Yahiko!
Pain and Konan's faces changed.
Yes!
How could they forget their true purpose? Why were they carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan? Because they had no hope left.
Damn Funan, his appearance not only changed Konan, but also indirectly affected Pain.
No. He couldn't allow it!
Yahiko had to be resurrected! There couldn't be any more tragedies!
Pain's gaze became more determined. It was all for Yahiko.
