[Buzz!]
The Raikage stared at Funan, and the lightning release chakra mode on his body became more active.
"Zehahaha! Raikage, you still want to fight me?"
Funan smiled.
"Look at the people around you, they are a bit miserable."
Funan continued, pointing at the shinobi surrounding him. One of them lay dead, and the others were also seriously injured.
The Raikage's condition was not too good either.
Being continuously attacked by Funan, even a shinobi like the Raikage, with thick skin and flesh, was a little overwhelmed.
"Our situation is complicated, I don't deny it." The Raikage let out a mocking laugh, his eyes fixed defiantly on Funan, not showing an ounce of retreat. "But what about you? How is your team?"
"Hokage, I don't believe that you still have enough chakra after fighting for so long."
"And..."
The Raikage glanced towards the battlefield.
Despite the help of the Three-Tails, the military power of Kumogakure, which surpassed that of Iwagakure, was evident. A group of shinobi had managed to momentarily trap the three-tailed beast, but Konoha's attacks with explosive tags continued to be a problem.
Still, the Raikage's resolve could be seen. After withstanding the self-destruction of Katsuyu's clones, the Kumogakure shinobi fearlessly advanced, launching a desperate offensive that destabilized the Konoha shinobi.
"So what?" After seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly, Funan laughed wildly and said: "No matter how you look at it, in the end it's Kumogakure that's going to fall. What do you think, Raikage? You want to lose your eight thousand elite shinobi just to inflict a few casualties on Konoha? A thousand, or maybe fifteen hundred? Wow, who knew you and Onoki were such good friends! Damn it, you're willing to sacrifice so much for him? Now that's true love!"
The Raikage's expression turns grim.
"Speak, Raikage!" Funan continued to taunt him. "Or don't you know that Onoki probably still has your father's corpse on an experiment table, drilling those long, thick things in and out of it all day long. That's so bitter."
"Shut up, Uchiha Funan!" The Raikage roared, and activated the lightning release chakra mode again, before rushing towards Funan.
At the same time, he roared: "Funan, you don't know that while you and I are fighting, Kirigakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure are also attacking Konoha, just wait until Konoha turns into ruins."
Funan constantly dodged the Raikage's attack, and said lightly: "Of course I know, but, Raikage, how can you be sure that they are attacking Konoha, not Kumogakure?"
The Raikage's movements paused slightly.
"Zehahaha! Really, Raikage? Who's to say that Onoki hasn't already invaded Kumogakure, laying waste to everything in his path?"
"Shut up!" The Raikage just said this coldly. "Uchiha Funan, you can't even imagine that there was a third party that intervened against you. Your Konoha is finished."
The Raikage could have kept that information a secret, but seeing the enormous loss of Kumogakure, he couldn't help it.
He hoped to distract Uchiha Funan in this way.
Funan still smiled slightly and said lightly: "It won't be a one-eyed man wearing a mask?"
"You..."
"Zehahaha! do you know where his eye went?" Funan smiled and took out a silver three-eyed mask, put it on his face, and said: "His eye is here with me."
The Raikage wanted to vomit blood.
Kumogakure's advantage seemed to be fading, and his judgment was fading. Had he been tricked? What if the masked man's real target wasn't Konoha, but Kumogakure?
"Roaaar!"
A scream filled with fury resounded at that moment.
It was the three-tailed beast! After being restrained for so long, it was enraged by the humiliation.
And Funan, although smiling, was not satisfied with this; the situation could get much worse for the Three-Tails, he could even end up being beaten again.
Tailed Beast Ball!
Three-tails opened his mouth, and the Tailed Beast Ball condensed in his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey!" The Eight-Tails fighting Fugaku's Susanoo exclaimed. "There's no way they can stop that Tailed Beast Ball with just those few shinobi!"
"I know!"
The Eight-Tails roared, increasing the intensity of its attacks and managing to force Fugaku back off, taking advantage of the opportunity to launch himself towards the three-tailed beast.
The Three-Tails' accumulation of power quickly ended, and it released the Tailed Beast Ball.
[Boom!]
The Eight-Tails appeared at the last moment, deflecting the Tailed Beast Ball with its tails and launching it into the sky, where it exploded with a deafening roar. However, the Eight-Tails' tails were left with burn marks and many wounds.
"We did it!" The Eight-Tails celebrated with relief.
"Bang!"
At that moment, a huge hand grabbed him by the tail.
"Stopped? You bastard, you don't take me seriously, right?" Fugaku's cold voice sounded.
Fugaku looked ferocious, roared, and blood began to flow from the corners of his eyes.
However, his strength was also pushed to the limit.
As the deep red chakra enveloped the Susanoo, Fugaku gained momentum and launched the Eight-Tails into the air, then climbed on top of it and began to beat it mercilessly.
[Boom! Boom!]
The Eight-Tails let out a roar of anger and its tails attempted to wrap around Fugaku's Susanoo.
Every time the tails were about to envelop Fugaku's Susanoo, he would use the gigantic sword and cut off the Eight-Tails' tentacles, making it impossible for it to entangle the Susanoo.
However, to the Eight-Tails' surprise, this situation did not last long, and Fugaku's Susanoo developed four additional arms, making a total of six, of which four wielded swords, and mercilessly swung them at the Eight-Tails, cutting off its tentacles.
The two giants engaged in a fierce fight, rolling and attacking each other relentlessly.
"It's my turn!" The three-tailed beast exclaimed excitedly, seeing that no one could stop him.
The next moment, the Three-Tails curled up into a ball and then rolled towards the Kumo-nin.
"Aaaaah!"
Several Kumo-nin were crushed on the spot, turned into mere masses of flesh.
"Earth Release: Fissure!"
An elite jonin stepped forward and created a large fissure in the ground, causing the Three-Tails to fall into it.
The Kumo-nin, seeing this, gathered around the edge of the fissure, ready to launch ninjutsu into the fissure in an attempt to finish off the Three-Tails.
But to their surprise, the Three-Tails rolled upwards and emerged with force, continuing its crushing onslaught against the Kumo-nin.
In the blink of an eye, the Kumo-nin had already suffered catastrophic casualties.
With the intervention of the Three-Tails, Kumogakure's troops began to crumble.
"Zehahaha, Raikage, how do you feel?" Funan laughed out loud and said: "Look at your Kumo shinobi... Zehahaha! The last spark before they die is truly beautiful."
"Uchiha Funan!" The Raikage was furious. He never dreamed that there would be such a loss.
"When you die, Kumogakure will be finished!" Funan stared at the Raikage with excitement.
The truth is that Funan was not prepared to completely wipe out Kumogakure, but the situation had already reached this point, so Funan decided to continue.
"Goodbye, Raikage... Ugh!" Funan was about to attack the Raikage when he suddenly groaned.
A cold light flashed.
Although he managed to dodge it, Funan felt that his chakra flow had frozen for an instant.
A figure appeared beside the Raikage, staring coldly at Funan.
The man had a sparse beard, a bandage wrapped around his head, wore green layered armor, and carried a samurai sword.
Funan's eyes turned cold, and he said: "Mifune? Is the Land of Iron no longer neutral? You samurai dare to intervene in the shinobi war? You are seeking death!"
Mifune was about to speak.
Funan has already started to make hand seals. "There's nothing to discuss. If you're here, it means the Land of Iron is no longer neutral. Perfect!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge fireball more than fifty meters in diameter emerged from Funan's mouth.
The scene left several Uchiha in a cold sweat.
"Get out of the way!" Mifune was also horrified.
Although the surprise attack was unsuccessful, it did manage to injure Uchiha Funan, giving him more confidence that Funan was not as invincible as he thought.
At that moment, Funan used ninjutsu to teach him his place.
In the end, only the Raikage remained facing Funan.
"How could it be?" The Raikage murmured. "How can you still have so much chakra?!"
The two have been fighting for so long that even the Raikage felt tired.
But Funan could still cast such powerful ninjutsu.
Damn it!
The Raikage almost let out a curse. Not even the Uzumaki clan had that much chakra!
"Raikage, aren't you going to hide?" Funan sneered, formed seals with his hands again, and said coldly: "Then I'll roast you!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Funan released a sea of fire from his mouth.
Mifune took advantage of that opportunity and quickly approached Funan, and although his sword was still in the sheath, a deadly edge began to emanate from him.
Funan sneered and said: "Do you really think I'll give you that chance again?"
The Mangekyo Sharingan spun rapidly, and a red bone structure appeared around Funan.
"Die for me!" Funan shouted angrily and the skeletal arm attacked Mifune.
[Clang!]
At the last moment he managed to block the attack, but Mifune, panting, fell onto a large rock nearby.
"Nice trick!" Funan sneered and said: "You managed to cut off my Susanoo's arm. But tell me, how many times do you think you'll be able to do it?"
The next moment the Susanoo's arm regenerated.
The Raikage stared at Funan, silent, though something in his eyes indicated a new understanding.
"Uchiha Funan, are you... furious?" The Raikage stared at him, smirking.
"Nonsense!" Funan shouted. "After fighting to this point, of course I'm angry! Did I give birth to you to tolerate you until now? Or do you think that with your appearance you deserve my attention?!"
"You..." The Raikage almost spat blood in rage.
His face darkened and the confidence he had gained from seeing Funan's fury vanished, replaced by unbridled rage.
"Uchiha Funan, why are you so arrogant? You must be very anxious now, right?"
"Of course I am anxious!" Funan sneered. "Look at your white hair, and you haven't found a woman yet. How can I, as your godfather, not be anxious? Mifune... by the way, you called Mifune here. Isn't it because there is something going on between you two? Otherwise, would you trust him so much?"
The Raikage took a deep breath, resisted the urge to curse, and said coldly: "Uchiha Funan, don't be arrogant. I can see that you are getting anxious. You are not as calm as before..."
"Bullshit!" Funan interrupted him again and shouted: "We Uchiha are a clan good at fire release! What calm do we need? We are the fire!"
As Funan spoke, he cast another fire release ninjutsu.
The Raikage dodged again and sneered. "So... your chakra reserves are running low, right, Uchiha Funan?"
"After fighting for such a long time and using high-level ninjutsu many times, who can withstand it unless it is the Uzumaki clan?"
Hearing this, Funan suddenly became quiet. He looked straight at the Raikage and laughed.
"Zehahaha, Raikage, do you think so?"
"Then I want to congratulate you, you guessed right, my chakra is running out, so you must hold on, if you hold on a little longer, you will definitely win... Zehahaha!"
