NOVEL NEXT Chapter 143: Victory
“You bastard!”
“Damn it!”
“Uchiha Funan!!!”
Obito was shaking with anger. If he could, he would bite Uchiha Funan to death.
Zetsu looked at Obito with sympathy.
Uchiha Funan seems to be able to predict every time what Obito is going to say and what he is going to do.
Just like this time, Obito knew that someone in Konoha was contacting Iwagakure and Kumogakure to plot against Uchiha, especially Uchiha Funan, and that they probably wanted to kill him.
So, he prepared to appear as Uchiha Madara, and further joined forces with Onoki and the fourth Raikage to deal with Uchiha Funan.
Obito already considered Funan to be his greatest threat.
But now, with the uproar caused by Funan, how could he appear as Uchiha Madara?
"What should we do now?" Zetsu looked at Obito helplessly and said: "It has come to this, do you still want to find the third Tsuchikage and the fourth Raikage?"
"Why not?" Obito sneered. "Look at that waste, Onoki, can he deal with Funan?"
Zetsu looked at Obito strangely. You say he is a waste? If we talk about suffering, Obito seems to have suffered a lot at his hands, at least more than Onoki and the fourth Raikage.
There were several times when Zetsu was considering whether to wake up Uchiha Madara.
The situation was obviously out of control.
However, because the real plan has not yet been launched, Zetsu gritted his teeth and endured it.
If there is a problem when capturing the tailed beast, there will be no way, Uchiha Madara must come back to life in advance.
He didn't believe that Madara couldn't deal with Funan.
"Do you think it could be Funan's Mangekyo technique?"
Obito frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "You mean, Uchiha Funan's Mangekyo has the ability to predict the future?"
"Yes." Zetsu said sinisterly: "According to our intelligence, Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo may have this ability, why can't Uchiha Funan have it?"
"Very likely." Obito thought for a while and said: "Uchiha Funan's Mangekyo technique has always been a mystery. I must find a way to find out quickly."
…
On the battlefield, Onoki continued to fight against Funan.
Funan felt a mixture of admiration and amazement. An old man of almost seventy still had such vitality.
Onoki is much stronger than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
I, Uchiha Madara, would like to call you the strongest elder!
Onoki was surprised that Funan could still maintain Susanoo and could continue fighting for so long. "How can you have so much chakra? And your Mangekyo, it doesn't cost anything?"
"Who knows." Funan smiled slightly.
A blood-colored Magatama formed in Susanoo's hand.
"Damn it!" Cold sweat ran down Onoki's forehead. He put his hands together and shouted: "Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
A large number of Iwagakure shinobi also began using their ninjutsu.
[Boom!]
A great rumble echoed throughout the battlefield.
Through the smoke and dust, Onoki staggered out, looking at the scattered Iwagakure shinobi and then at Funan, who was beginning to form another blood-colored Magatama. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Retreat!"
“You guys run pretty fast!” Funan looked at them for a moment and then rushed towards the battlefield between Kumo and Konoha.
“Seventh Gate, the Gate of Shock, open!”
"Roar, my youth!"
"Daytime Tiger!"
Accompanied by Guy's youthful shout, the fierce attack hit the Eight-Tails. Three of its tails separated from its body and it was thrown several meters into the air, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
The Eight-Tails roared in pain.
"B!" The Fourth Raikage's shout rang out, followed by a flash of lightning in the sky.
"Is it going to be a decisive battle?" Seeing the situation, Funan had a bad feeling.
Guy's youth, sometimes, is not a good thing. Its intensity was overwhelming.
If he came closer now, he wouldn't make it in time.
"In that case." Funan gritted her teeth and shouted: “Konoha Shinobi, attack! Iwagakure has already been defeated, victory is ours!”
Hearing this, the shinobi of Konoha went crazy.
The Raikage, who was ready for a battle to the death, felt his energy fading. He looked at the approaching Susanoo, gritting his teeth.
Onoki is a waste!
"Big Brother!" Killer Bee looked at the fourth Raikage.
The Fourth Raikage recognized the problem immediately. The losses were already greater than anticipated. With Funan having defeated Onoki and Iwagakure, continuing to fight now would be irrational.
"Damn it!" The fourth Raikage looked at Guy with a ferocious look. If it weren't for that bastard, they would have inflicted huge losses on Konoha.
Who would have imagined that such an ordinary-looking ninja could unleash such power?
"Retreat!" The Raikage growled the order through gritted teeth.
The Kumogakure shinobi began to slowly retreat and the Konoha shinobi did not pursue them.
Iwagakure was lurking, and no one wanted to really confront each other.
If they win, it will be a miserable victory, and then they will be swallowed up by a third party.
Funan descended from the sky, looking down at the exhausted Konoha shinobi with a smile. “Gentlemen, we have won. You all have done a great job.”
The Konoha shinobi looked at each other, smiling forcefully.
They were completely exhausted.
Especially Guy, Funan didn't know how to describe him. Just after the Raikage ordered the retreat, Guy collapsed to the ground, falling into a coma.
"Count the dead in battle, collect the bodies of companions, and the bodies of enemies should also be dealt with in a centralized manner!"
Funan issued a series of orders.
The shinobi of Konoha began to operate at high speed. After a short rest, everyone looked at Funan with different eyes. If it weren't for Funan, they would probably be wiped out this time.
Although many died, they managed to repel Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Enemy losses were also significant.
Only the members of the four clans of the Konoha Corrupt Quartet seemed very unhappy.
If nothing unexpected happens, after this battle, Funan's prestige in Konoha will increase again.
After giving the orders, Funan turned around and left. As commander-in-chief, he still had many things to do.
For example...
Funan looked at the three huge tentacles in front of him, completely stunned.
This luck is too good!
Without saying a word, Funan absorbed the power of one of the tentacles.
[Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!]
Just as Funan was carrying out this operation, a group of shinobi arrived at his location.
Jiraiya had rushed with a group of shinobi.
The shinobi under Funan's command looked at the newcomers with eyes full of resentment. However, they could not say anything to blame. Because these people, including Jiraiya, were injured.
"What's going on?" Funan raised his eyebrows.
"Kumogakure and Iwagakure, a total of 2,000 shinobi, directly cut us off from you." Jiraiya looked very unhappy.
"That's all?" Funan sneered. "Two thousand shinobi were able to stop you? You are Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin!"
"Don't laugh at me." Jiraiya smiled bitterly. "There are still two tailed beasts."
Funan's eyebrows jumped wildly.
"Two?"
"Two-tail and five-tail!"
What else can Funan say? He can only sigh.
It was no wonder Funan felt strange, wondering why the Iwa Tailed Beasts were not present.
It turned out that they were going to deal with Jiraiya.
"Don't look at me like that." Jiraiya said helplessly. "To be honest, only the Five-Tails attacked. The Two-Tails just stood there watching, probably on guard against Iwa's Four-Tails. We only managed to repel the Five-Tails."
"Still, it's not easy."
Jiraiya looked at him uncertainly and asked, "And your situation here?"
"We are counting casualties."
Jiraiya stopped talking.
This matter is strange no matter how you look at it.
Considering that the enemy knew almost all of their movements, it was clear that there was a very well-designed plan. Jiraiya couldn't help but have a grim expression, thinking about who could have provided that information.
Old man, is that you?
Funan didn't say anything now, but he would definitely not let it go.
Jiraiya wouldn't let it go either.
He was also attacked. Although he was not the main force, he lost several hundred shinobi.
The losses on Funan's side were quickly calculated.
In addition to more than a thousand dead, more than four hundred shinobi had to leave their posts and could no longer continue being shinobi.
Funan's expression was extremely cold. He turned his head and looked at Jiraiya. "Call your men. I want to end this battle as soon as possible."
"No problem!" Jiraiya also cooperated.
In a short period of time, he had already understood.
Funan faced Iwagakure and Onoki alone and forced them to retreat.
He had to marvel at this strength.
Since Funan intended to play a big game, he naturally had to cooperate. Because there was a fire burning in his heart.
Revenge for the two thousand shinobi who died in Konoha!
As for Hiruzen and Torifu's orders to avoid combat and resolve things peacefully so as not to trigger a Fourth Shinobi World War...
Fuck that!
Iwagakure and Kumogakure are not afraid, so what is Konoha afraid of!
Soon, the shinobi under Jiraiya's command gathered, and with the joining of forces, Funan had nearly five thousand shinobi under his command.
"Jiraiya!" Funan turned to Jiraiya and said: "I want you to lead fifteen hundred shinobi and stop Kumo. Can you do it?"
"Don't worry." Jiraiya nodded and said: "I can't do it for a long time, but it's no problem to cooperate with you."
"Okay!" Funan said coldly: "The battle will be over in one day at most!"
This time, Funan was not going to hold back.
